A fife la tho Paxton hotel, which origi
nated last evening from defective electric
wiring la a toilet room on the second floor
at the head of tho south main stairway,
caused wild consternation among the guests
and damaged the building and contents to
tho extent of probably $500.
A bellboy discovered tho blazo n few
minutes after 7 o'clock. Upon smelling the
smoke ho opened the toilet room door,
when tho flames burst In hla face. Hur

NEW YORK. May 18. The Evening Post,
in discussing the New York Central presi
dency today, says the office may bo offered
to C. S. Mellen of tho Northern Pacific.
NEW YORK, May 18. The Mall and Ex
press today says on tho western railroad
situation: Tho controversy over Northern
Paclflc and resultant conferences bctweon
the lending financiers In Wall street have
caused many changes In plnns for bring-
ng together tho westoru railroads. Tho
balance of power has been radically rend- ,
ustcd, nnd some of tho powers of tho
financial world, notably John D.
Rockefeller nnd William K. Vanderbllt,
havo concluded to put things In such shnpo
thnt there is not likely to bo any serious
friction between rlvnl railroads,
The Union Pacific Is tho pivotal system
from which nil of tho projected deals di
verge. Messrs, Rockefeller and Vander
bllt are the controlling factors In this
property, nnd through tho largo holding
of Northern Pnclllc stock acquired by tho
Itnrrlman syndicate for Union Pnclflc they
will control tPe pollcy.also of the Northern
Pnclllc, and Indirectly the Burlington.
Most lmportnut of tho plana yet to bo
developed Is that concerning the relations
between tho Chicago & Northwestern and
St. Paul companies, with the Union Pa
cific. It is asserted on authority thnt tho
deal to be mado between these eompnnies
nvolves n trufllc nlllnnco which will for all
tlmo glvo tho Northwestern nnd St. Pnul
roads the desired facilities for reaching tho
Paclflc coast on through traffic, and at tho
same tlmo not compel them to turn over
all their business to the Union Pacific.
Tho Union Paclflc and St. Paul com
panies will havo equal facilities for ex
changing traffic with the Southern Paclf.c,
which Is controlled by tho Union Pnclflc.
They will also como In for t.Vlr sharo of
tho traftlc originating on tho Northern Pa
cific nnd to a certain extent of tho advan
tages accruing to tha Burlington from the
Great Northern nnd Northern Paclflc nl
llnnco will bo diminished.
This brings matters back to tho starting
point, when tho Union Pnclflc demanded a
shnro of the advantage of the Burlington
lease. A now banls will hnve to be ar
ranged for Interchanging traffic, between
tho various big railroads, and yet have
nono of them conflict.
Will Hold HIII'm lliiml.
But the Important point Is that harmony
will be preserved nt nny cost, nnd J, J.
Hill will not bo permitted to enrry out
an aggressivo policy ngalnat Northwest
ern, St. Paul and Union Pacific, ns somu
thought he intended to do. Mr. Hill's
Great Northern road Is now tied up with n
guaranty of Interest on new collateral
trust bonds covering tho Burlington pur
chaie, and nny radical movement on his
part would only Injure his own company,
Tho coming community of owner
ship, which covers practically nil of tho
railroads north of and Including the Union
Paclflc, will bo tho greatest aggregation
of corporato Intercsta cvor brought to
gothcr. Mr. Rockefeller Is also working
to bring about harmony in the southwest,
nnd In this ho has tho support of the Penn
sylvania, which has acquired n largo In
tcrest in Atchison stock.
George J. Gould Is undcrstooilo be
irienuiy to .Mr. iiocxeiencr s pians unci
ho Is willing to mako a merger of south
western railroads. Mr. Rockefeller, how
ever, simply desires to havo close traffic
arrangements, and ho prefers to keep the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Independent.
J, Plorpont Morgan's attitude toward the
extcnslvo western railroad plans Is un
derstood to bo cordial. Mr. Morgan's In
tercets In Northern Fncltlc wll be pro.
tocted, but he will dlvldo with thoso other
financial glantn tho control of tho west
ern railroad situation.

thousand frantic whlto people turrounded
the fragile, little lockup In the town hall
hero tonight. Behind the cell bars wcr
William Fairfax nnd his wife, "Black El,"
both colored, who had Just murdered Wil
liam Moore, assistant ynrdmaster In tha
Baltimore fc Ohio yards. Early this even
ing when tho streets wore crowded with tho
Saturday night throngs William Mooro and
Baggagemnster Johnston of the Fairmont
branch train were nttacked by tho negroes
as they turned Into nn nlley from Main
street, going toward the reur entrance of
tho Hotel Iluas. Moore was struck with a
brick on tho head nnd fell forward. Quick
as n flash the negro Fairfax leaned over tho
prostrato victim, Jerked his watch from his
pocket, look his money from his clothing
nd then took the unconscious body in his
arms and hurled It over n stone wall, u
distance, of thirty feet. Mooro was not
dead when ho wns hurled from tho wall,
but tho fall broke his neck and ho died In
stantly.
Tho murder wns right In tho heart of
town. When n crowd from Main street
pressed In upon tho negroes Fairfax ran
down the nlley. but hln wife, throwing
stones and bricks, held tho crowd back un
til tlirco officers rushed In upon her nnd
dragged her nway to tho lockup. Later
alrfax was captured nnd lodged In Jail.
Within a very few minutes tho Jail was
surrounded by n mob of enraged citizens.
By 11:30 o'clock thoy had used their
battorlng ram so effectively that tho outer
-all broko through. Exposed nnd showing
plainly under tho electric light within,
tood the negroes. Tho officers, however,
clnred their Intention of shooting tho
first man who attempted to enter and thus
succeeded In holding back the mob.
Shortly uftcr midnight William Moore,
eldest son of the murdered man, mounted
the steps In front of the lockup and said:
"For my mother's sako nnd for my own
sako I ask the moi to disperse. I do not
wnnt tho negro dragged out and you should
thereforo not wnnt him."
Tho crowd listened attentively and re-
pcctfully, but resumed the efforts to got
tho negroes as soon ns tho speaker had
finished.
At 1:10 this (Sunday) morning Sheriff
McCormlck of Fnyotto nrrlved hero with a
force of dtputies and succeeded In placing
tho negroes on a special train, which is
now taking them to tho Jail at Uniontown.

Poor Heleetlon of Food In the Cnute of
Ilrenk-IliMvim.
Many men, nnd women, too, feel that
their work Is tho cnuso of symptoms of
nervous breakdown, but work Is not tho
cause, as any ono can provo to tneir on
tlro satisfaction by leaving off the food
they have been trying to sullst on, and
taking In Its plnco food inndo for the ex
press purpose of rebuilding tho brain nnd
nervo centers In tho body nnd supplying
other portions with sufficient nourishment
and keep right on with the snmo work and
get well and strong.
An Illustration Is given In the enso of
P. A. Whltely, superintendent of tho pub
lie schools at Excelsior, Minn. Ho Is nlso
n student nnd teacher of hygiene. Ho
says: "This spring at tho beginning of the
last month of school, I wns very much
run down, nnd Blnce my duties nrn qulto
confining, I naturally ascribed my condition
to that.
I discovered that I made tho same mis.
tako that ninny do. It is not .work, but a
lack of proper food that causes break
down. Wifo went visiting nt this tlmo
and I concluded to get my own meals for
n time. Tho grocor suggested that I uko
a ready cooked food known as Grape
Nuts. I found tho food delicious, requir
ing no cooking, I simply poured milk or
cream over It nnd had It In that way.
I used drape-Nuts for breakfast, din
ner nnd supper, nnd liking It so well I
simply lived on It for tho next three weeks.
My work continued qulto us arduous and
confining as before, but I experienced a de
cided riso In spirits nnd vitality as well
as In general health. Found I did not
tiro as before nnd entirely lost thnt worn
out feeling which socms to tako tho heart
out of one.
I am satisfied tho change was duo to my
change In food, and I have been so greatly
helped and havo been taught so valuablo
n lejson In food as related to the human
body that I wlBh to cxprcrs ray appreciation
In this manner,"
It will pay any brain worker to dispense
with a rart of tho ordinary diet and uso
(Irapo-Nuts once or twlco n day at least,
for tho food is made by food expertB, for
a purpose, nnd that purpose Is to furnish
the human system with theelements, in a
concentrated form, required for rebuilding
the brain nnd nerve centers throughout
tho body. There Is no sort of question of
the truth of tho statement and value of tho
food, as can bo demonstrated by anyone.
