Houston, Tex Four b'ocks of valu-
able prop* riy in the Fifth ward were
destroyed by fir.- .Monday night be-
twain 7: iu and I0:<«) o'clock. The fire
orlgnated in the itibln of the spies*
did roller mill plant of the Stundurd
Milling Company. which was a total
loss The plant, covering the entire
block of ground, with a new steel tank
elevator lull of wheat, was the princi-
pal loss sustained, and was the llrst
to lie destroyed.
Sixteen largo freight cars, some con
(alnlng cargo. over twenty r*-,ld ncos
and a do/a 11 stores, saloons, etc., of
varying value are among the smaller
los; es, I' aether with twelve horses and
stable equipments of the milling com-
pany The total loss is estimated at
about $226,(>0u.
Following is an incomplete list of
losses. .Muny dwellings and store
houses wetv burnt., within the bounds
of the di.>trict described, whose own-
erf. cannot lie 1 icated nt tiiis time.
Practically all Ihe iiniRea were cov-
et" il with In.-iiranci* and u large pro-
portion of the oilier properly was

The llrst alarm was registered from
box fill, then auolh'M* front box fi2i, and
finally the general alarm was turned
In and every pit of fire extinguishing
apparatus in Houston was soon on the
Beetle
Thirty streams of water played on
tlu (lames at once, but owing to the
rapid .-t read of the fire, due to a brisk
south' ast wind, the efforts of the lire-
men could not lie confined to one Ir.-
eallty, and for a time it seemed that
nothing could prevent a dozen or more
blocks from being swept awtiv. The
strong breeze would lift the burning

on dty lOofi o houses blocks away, and
an ii;"ipit .it lire was the result.

FOR TWO-CENT FARE.
COLQUITT SAYS COMMISSION
SHOULD GIVE IT.
RAILROAOS CAN STAND IT.
Anti Pass Low Will Mean a Saving to
Them of $3,000,000, Acordiny to
His Estimate.
Austin, Tex Comml-sinner Colquitt
Is In favor of a 2c fare in Texas, and
is against waiting f*a a political cam
palgu and the next or any legislature
to give it to tile people of Tcui- II"
announced Mini position at Mesuuitc
last Friday, but the pupers tailed to
give It He declared that the leglsla
ture did wrong in not passing a 2c
fare bill, and Miai the Texas Hailroad
Commission is doing wrong in not glv
lug a 2c rate lo the public. He stated
that the people have only the legisla
lure to appeal to beyond the commis-
sion, and that the commission should
not wall for this appeal, but give il
the 2c fares before tlu* next legisla-
ture does it, as it surely will, he
thinks.
Discussing the mater , Mr Colquitt
said that he had always been for a
2ic fare for adults and He fate for
children as being conservative to the
railroads and people alike, but that
the passage of the anti pass law would
easily enable th*' railroads to use a
rate of 2c per mile for adults and lc
for children. He said that he had al-
ways believed that the denial of free
transportation would save tho rail-
roads J:;.(iiiu.iMiu annually, and that lie
believed It now more 1 hall ever, and
that because ot that he favors (he 2c
fare in Texas It remains to be seen
whether the otht'i commissioners will
agree with him.
II Is recalled that Mr. Colquitt was
responsible lor the commission direct
ing the railroads to charge ljc per
mile for transportation of children In-
stead of 2e per tulle, as they bad been
doing, and changing the limit of 5 to
10 years to 12, thereby adding two
morn years for ihe children to travel
at half fare
Mi Coliiuitt is now ei;f::"lr,l In .unk-
ing a special study of (hi passenger
earnings and rate situation in Texas,
especially In connection with the re-
sults under the anti-pass law Some
important developments are in pros-
pect.
