Thn Depot and Transfer Shed
Reduced to Allies.
The Santa Fc Brcnrdx Destroyed—A
Brilliant Spectacle Wit-
nessed.
Special to the Times
Dkmino, March 22.
A serious tire broke out at 6:10 last
nlxht, causing a heavy loss both to the
railroad companies and the city. The
union freight depot anil platform, about
feet long, anil the transfer sheds, of
about the same length as the depot and
running parallel to it, with only the
narrow space necessary for two tracks
between them,
WKJtK TOTALLY DESTROYED,
The (Santa Ke oflleeB, where the fire
originated, were located in the cast end
of the depot, a d the Southern Pacific
offices in the west end. The fire Is sup-
posed to have been caused by the explo-
sion of a lamp. So quickly did the
flames spread that all the papers, books
and records of the Santa Ke were destroy-
ed as well as a large amount of freight
The Southern Pacific records and furni-
ture and most of the freight were saved.
The flames quickly jumped across the
tracks and caught in the transfer shed.
The tire then proceeded westward to the
twobuikllngs at an equal pace, present-
ing
A BEAt'Tiri !. SI'EC'l AI I.K.
The flames spread on across the space
between the two blazing structures and
met, forming a brilliant arch of fire. In
attempting to pull away some freight
cars that stood in the space between the
depot and shed, the car next the fire,
which was not coupled to tho rest, was
sent rolling along this flaming archway,
causing a remarkable effect us it came
down the Incline out of the mouth of
hell, as it looked to the throng of peo-
ple who shouted and cheered at the
unique display.
Deming , as only a hook and ladder
company, so nothing could be done to
check the flames. The wind blew strong-
ly, but luckily from the right quarter to
protect other buildings. Tho yard of
theBlInn Lumber company was
DANOKUOUSI.Y Cl.OSK
to the fire, but the section boss tore up
the depot platform and made a harrier
that prevented the fire from reaching
the lumber yard. The wind carried the
tire away from the hotel buildings.
The loss to the railroad company Is
estimated at nearly forty thousand dol-
lars. The loss to the town is serious.
The depot was one of tl'ie largest and
linest in the southwest, and was far in
advance of the needs of the town. It
will doubtless be replaced by a smaller
and chenper one, and the transfer sheds
will not be rebuilt.

Customs Inspector O'Forrall, In his

on the street car: " I must ask you for
00 cents duty on that article, madam."
"Duty! Sixty cents duty! Do you
mean to say I've got to pay CO cents to
be allowed to take this vase Into the
United States? Why I llye in Detroit
and get lots of things in Canada,and the
Canadian government never charges me
any duly. It's a shame, an outrage,that

duty on this little vase!"

Woman of tho Sti|e.
A woman while traveling must either
bo sufficient company to horsclf or And
such enjoyment ua she can in tho company
of others, who may or may not be congen-
ial. It frequently liappens, after a few
weeks, that mutually Interesting subjects
ore exhausted, and, perhaps, nothing but
backbiting anil floMip remain as evfr
fruitful topics. Then it te that the world
Appears no larger than a cheese box, and
the thoughts and opinions of tho members
of tho company seem like the final judg-
ment. Then is it that jealousy cats Into
the soul, and life is nSrrower than a
thread. Jealousy and backbiting will be
roncedcd to belong not alone to the st&m;
but as the stage does share In them to
Mine degree, it might be well to include
them among the disadvantages. For all
this there in but one cure—the right em-
ployment of the leisure timei Jn Bight See-
ing, perhapa, for there Is always gome-
thing to lie seen and learned durlnn a
ramble, if tho tired traveler can l/ln
duoed to tAke one.—Georgia Cayvan in

As soon as the legislature grants per-

doubtless construct the grand canal that
will forever irrigate the whole Rio

matter to the people, but not more so
than the fact that Ucrrott & Schuster
supplies, at the very low.-st cash prices,
the best whiskies, brandies, wines, beer,
ales, porter, segars, tobacco and cigar-

is a favorite study with Berrott &
