Used Origin Unknown.

The frame charcoal building of
the Raritan Copper Works and three
railroad box cars were destroyed by
fire shortly after noon yesterday.
Another box car was partially demol-
ished by the flames. The charcoal
building was well filed with char
coal and the cars loaded with the
same substance awaiting unloading.
The damage by the fire is approxi-
mated at $4,000. The origin is not
known, though it is attributed to
different causes, such as spontaneous
combustion, ashes from a tobacco
pipe and cinders from a railroad en-
gine which had just previous to the
blaze been shifting in that vicinity.
At 1890, during the noon hour,
the employees were startled by the
shrill whistle of one of the plants
engines giving the number of sig
nails from the fire alarm box nearest
the charcoal storehouse. Three COM
panies of the plants fire brigade re-
sponded and soon had three streams

the building, which by this time was
ablaze. The flames soon began lick

cars lying on the tracks beside the
building. The hose was then turned
on the cars, which were rapidly be-
ing ignited. .t,.
The firefighters scanned the sur
rounding tracks to find an engine
which could be pressed into service
to remove the cars which seemed
doomed to destruction. No locomo-

men could only save part of the
fourth car.
Although practically the whole
present supply of charcoal for the
plant was burned, the concern will
not be incapacitated in it's operation
for that reason, as they can imme-
diately obtain a fresh supply. The
four charcoal cars had been left at
the works in the morning.
The building burned was one
story affair about 1875 feet long, con-
tanning large bins, many of which
were filled with charcoa! which is
used by the plant in refining copper.

Tralnmen Insist for Adjustment
Under Erdman Act.
CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON
Representatives of Both Sides Meet
Today in Hopes of Reaching
Settlement

New York, July 14.-Whether a
strike of $4,000 conductors and train
men on AS eastern railroads shall be
declared within the next few days
depends upon whether the railroads
withdraw from their refusal to arbi-
trate the wage and other differences
between the companies and the men.
This declaration was made last night
in statements by the mems represen-
tatives after the grievance commit
tees from the various roads in con-
ference had \Tatified the strike vote
of the men recently taken and au-
thorized A. B. Garretson, president of
the brotherhood of railway conduc-
tors, and w, G. Lee, president of the
brotherhood of railway trainmen, to
issue the formal strike order tot their
respective organizations.
Peace prospects centered upon the
attitude of the roads, the men de-
clared, with the possibility that a
way out of the deadlock will be sup
piled by today's conference in Wash
ington, where amendments to the Erd
man law, under which previous dis
putes between the roads and their
employees have been arbitratted, will
be considered with a view tot press
ing their speedy passage upon Con-
gress.
Mr.. Lee announced that the rail-
roads would be notified this morning
of the action of the mems commit
tee in ratifying the strike order. The
labor leaders declared emphatically
that no further overtures would be
made to the roads by the men. Our
position is plain and clear" said Pres
ident Garrison. I'VE offered arbitra-
ton weeks ago but our effort was re-
jected."
The issue being thus drawn be-
tween the roads and their employees,
and the men having voted to strike
If their demands were refused, it re-
NAMED for the general committee
of the men to ratify the strike vote.
This was done yesterday and accord
ing to the leaders the railroads viii
be given probably until tomorrow to
change their attitude when, If they
still refuse to have any dealings with
the men the strike order will be issu-
ed. calling $4,000 or more men from

Therefore every youthful heavenly
