The first two sections make the rail*
roads responsible for injury to their
employes. The third defines fellow
servants as follows: "All persons who
are engaged in common service of such
railroad corporation, and who. while
so engaged, are working together
at the same time and place, to a com-
mon purpose of same grade, either

The Inst section says: No contract

Piiii.adri.phi a, Jan. 'J?.—Fire started
shortly before 7 o'clock this morning
in the rear of the basement of the six
story grocery store of llanseom Pros..
1317 Market street, and before the en-
gines could reach the scene the entire
rear nortion of Hanscom Dennetts
six story restaurant was ablaze. A
second alarm was sent in and a few
minutes later a general alarm was
sounded, for the live story building
occupied by lllumb llros., manufac-
turers of« ladies' cloaks, was soon a
mass of tlaines. The water seemed
almost to freeze before it touched the
buildings, so bitterly cold was the
weather.
The next building on the west was
occupied by (ieorge Marshall as a res-
taurant; then came the hat manufac-
tory of lieorge 11. Wells, at 1 T.M, and
the rear of the wholesale grocery of
Showell & Fryer at 1325 Market.
These were enveloped in tire in a short
time, and at the same time the um-
brella manufactory of llirseh llros.,
the largest in the world, which ad-
joined the Hanscom restaurant, caught
tire. The inflammable nature of the
immense stock of light silks added
fuel to the flames, and in half an hour
the eight story building, extending
from 13(19 to 1315 Market street, was
a mass of flames.
On the north side of llirseh llros.,
immediately across Silver strctt. stood
the new seven-story building of Dun-
lap llros. The flames swop, through
this structure and gutted it com-
pletely. The small buildings on Silver
street, which runs west from Thir-
teenth to Juniper, were ail destroyed.
At i:l" o'clock tire was discovered in
the tower of John Wanainakcr's big
dry goods store. A stream of water
from one of the water towers was run
up to the burning structure, but the
supply of water was either too small
or the apparatus defective, as the
stream would not reach. The tower
contained a handsome clock and
fhlines. At 9 o'clock the tower col-
lapsed. the clock falling through to
the first floor. Two lines of hose were
then placed on top of the great store
and the flames which had threatened
to destroy Philadelphia's mos* famous
place were soon under control. I he-
fire had been confined entirely to the
Market street front and the hiss sus-
tained by Mr. Wanamaker was princi-
pally in the destruction of his clock
nnd chimes and the breaking of all 'he
large plate glass windows on Market
itreet.
The total losses by the fires are
j placed at about f.l,000,tHJU.
BRYAN'S BOOK.
Dedicated to llland. Weaver and T.llar.
Mlro.talltst Champion.-
Chicago, Jnn. ST.—The last page* of
•The Kirst llattle," Mr. VV. J Ilryan'a
book, have gone to press, nnd the pub-
lishers expect to have the first copy
bound in abuut a week. The book em-
bodies a story of tho campaign of 1806,
its important events and issues, and
includes the most noteworthy inci-
dents of Mr. Bryan's famous tour.
"The First Battle" is dedicated to
the lion. Richard I". Blandof Missouri,
(ienerai James Ik Weaver of Iowa and
the Hon. Henry M. Teller of Colorado,
whom the author considers "the fore-
most champions of bimetallism in their
respective parties."
One of the interesting features of the
book is the biographical sketch written
by Mrs. Bryan.
She thus describes their tirst meet-
ing: "My personal knowledge of Mr.
Bryan dates from September,
I lie was then entering upon his junior
' year. 1 saw him first in the parlors
of the young ladies' school which I at-
tended in Jacksonville. He entered
the room with several other student*,
was taller than the rest, and attracted
tnv attention at once. His face was
pale and thin; a pair of keen dark
gray eyes looked out from beneath
heavy brows; his nose was prominent;
too large to look well. I thought, a
broad, thin-lipped mouth and a square
chin completed the contour of
his face. He was neatly, though
not fastidiously, dressed, anil stood
firmly and with dignity. 1 noted par-
ticularly his hair and his smile—the
former black in color, fine in quaiity
and parted distressingly straight; the
latter expansive and expressive. In
later years this smile has been the sub-
ject of considerable comment, but the
well rounded cheeks of Mr. Bryan now
check its onward march, and no one
has seen the real breadth of the smile
who did not see it in the early days.
I'pon one occasion, a heartless ob-
server was heard to remark. That
man can whisper in his own ear,' but
this was a cruel exaggeration. «

yesterday afternoon discussing a reso-

the floor. McC'ray sent a story toeach
of his papers last week, insinuating
that the Senate committee on educa-
tion had lieen "Hxed" by the school
book trust. The lesolution finally waa
adopted on roll call by a strict party
vote of -'l to 12, except Campbell, who
voted with the Republicans because
the majority did not see tit to give Mc-
