Owing to the relentless steel bars that encircled him Hughes was un able to fulfill another engagement. He was booked to warble at a church entertainment last evening. Anxious For a Settlement. It is quite likely- Hugh O'Doniicll will resign the chairmanship of the advisory' committee on the Home stead troubles if he has not al ready done so, ami the indication are that the committee if casting about for a new leader. The break up was caused by the refusal of the committee to approve an almost unconditional surrender in the fight on hand. Mr. O'Donnell ex pressed himself as anxious for a settlement even if he had to be sac rificed. He authorized two news paper men, F. I). Madeira of .'lew York aud ,Hampton of Philadel phia, to see Superintendent Potter and ascertain upon what terms the old men could return to work. When they had executed the com mission O'Donnell wanted to bring them before the committee, but that body would not admit them. This rebuff ultimately will cause O'Donnell's resignation, as he said he would resign if his colleagues did not endorse his sentiments. The mediators called upon .Super intendent Potter aud wantd to know upon what terms he would accept the old employes. lie said there was no vindictiveness in their deal ings with their men, but they would not take back certain objectionable strife-makers under any circum stances No names were mentioned but he said those against whom criminal charges had been made were among them. Kven these might not be rejected if the infor mations against them proved incor rect. He further stated that the men would not be questioned about membership in any organization but they would be required to sign an agreement as individuals fixing the scale of wages and based on the $20 billet rate. There would be no dealings with any association com mittee, except as provided iu the agreement for a committee of work men and officials and workmen to meet quarterly and lix prices of bil lets. So men now in the employ would be discharged if their work was satisfactory. The mediators were assured that the places were being rapidly filled. The advisory committee refused to admit the newspaper men, but they would hear the report through the chairman. This was refused as they- had no interest in the matter except to bring the two parties to gether. Superintendent Potter was informed of the result and ex pressed regrets, a the places of the old men were being rapidly filled. Mr. Curry, who was present, took occasion to deny the report that Andrew Carnetrie would interfere. He stated that in a cablegram just received Mr. Carnegie said he had ntention of returning to Amer ica at present and that he would not interfere with the management or interpose to settle the strike, DELEGATES CHOSEN.

Shortly after 7 o'clock an employe oi me company, wnue lighting a signal lamp in the freight room got too close to a barrel of coal oil. which ignited, exploded and almost msianiiy me structure was in flames. The lire department re sponded and three streams of water were played on the burning build ing, but the lire had gained such a headway that the efforts of the fire men were of little effect. So rapid was the spread of the flames that absolutely nothing was saved, the employes in the depot not having time to get their hats or coats. A rough estimate places the value of the baggage at $1,000, though it may be in excess of this. No esti mate can be made of the loss on freight, building and belongings. The telegiaph instrument was de stroyed and for a time Ashland was without communication east or west, except by telephone. Late last night the wires were restored to working order and a temporary minature depot arrived on a Hat car from Lincoln. Trains were only slightly delayed.
