The - usual routine , was transacted and a committee was apiKinted to ser cure, a hall -up town. The , follow i PS resolutions were adopted: To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen of N. C: , ; the City of Wilmington, : Gentlemen: We the citizens of Wil mington and uncompromising labor ing men: who worked and voted to place the democrats in power in this city, have; been shocked and surprised to learn that your honorable body has seen fit to; reduce the wages of the street hands to th e minimum of only 8 Ncents peri hcJur, rainy; hoursl and deduct for all And we bear that there is talk of re ducing the wages of the policemen and fitemen. - We hope h'Qwever,. th?..f this will not lie done, and we regretrery ( much that! the other has been done. During the city administrations of Ricaud. Fishblate ex-Mayors Fowler ahd Hartiss, the street haiids were paid $7.59, per-week, rain or -shine; which was ?1.25 per day. When ex-Mayor S. P. Wright and his board took the' reins of government, the wages of the street hands were re duced to io cents ; per hour, for the hours of actual Iajbor that is, hands were not -paid for time lost by rain. 'This we consider w is wrong to cramp and grind jlown ,th(? poor sons of toil. ; If it had been actually necessary to have made retrenchments in a finan cial point of view, begun at the head the more able to they ought to have -at those who were bear the loss the mayor; clerk and theasurer, etc." It has been saim that you can get hands from the country to work at 6 cents per : hour. . doubt , is true. If wages to 25 cents This, we have no you -should .drop, per day, you could, perhaps, get plenty of hands, because some of (the poor people must :have work. They have families that must , and twenty-five have bread or di cents a day will buy. bread and keep them from an immediate death. But is it right o- humil iate good democrats who worked- and voted to put you in office in this way? ' In reducing the .wages of these good democrats '. bjelow tbat of what the he-, grees, white populi sts and republicans' were receiving under, the Wright ad ministration, is equivalent, to saying that these are inferior and. not worthy of as good wages. It: is putting a dis count -or depreciation on democratic labor and is a' stigma npdn your board and the democratic party of our city. The eity : is as able to pay $1.25 per day for .labor now, and the. men em ployed are; as worthy as they were in thei times of Fowler, Ricaud, Fishblate, Harriss or Wright- 1 Therefore, we respectfully ask that the wages of street hands be raised to $7.50 per week, with no reduction for rainy daysj and that the wages of po licemen and firemen shall not.be reduc ed , v : Respectfully, - WHITE LABORERS' UNION; 'The union adjourned to meet again at 7: 3Q. o'clock next Monday night. ; - We are requested to state that appli cations for membership may be handed to the officers of the union' or to any of the members.

There were . 300 people, guests and employes, in the hotel when the fir;e broke oift and only two of these people are- tho.ught to have lost their lives. A. J. White, and a man named Meyer are the victims. Befoce White gave up his life, he saved the lives of three women. The fire is said to have started in the kitchen, located' in the basement on the -Ellis street side! i The fire worked its way up through the flue to the sixth floor and before the fire alarm was sent in the fire had gained great headway. . For years the .Baldwin Iras been re garded by the fire, department as. the most dangerous fire trap in San 'Fran cisco. Built of wood, six stories high'. with narrow and tortuous hallways; it is a wonder that half of the'people , - in the hotel this morning? -escaped. They were slow -to waken, i Many were dazed and stupified by smoke when the police, the firemen and hotel -em-! ployees, hurrying through the; hall- : ways, kicked-open doors and notified the people of their great danger. When they managed to reach the windows, and fife escapes there were no ladders. Many attempted -to jump from the J windows to the streets, but were warn ed not to do so , by the crowds below. Then the firemen got up their ladders and commenced taking people .to the ground, rescuing many i"n this man ner. . In the interior of the hotel an ex plosion in the theatre -caused that por tion of the building to cave in. This explosion also extinguished : the, elec tric lights throughout the building. Those in the streets belov could see through the rifts-in the smoke along the attic vornices, forms of men and women crouching and clinging to: the woodwork, which Was already begin ning to smoulder. - i !

Then he started down the ' rope hand over'hand. : Half way down the rope parted and the man who had just" saved three, lives was dashed tar the pavement 100 feet below. - .' "Lucky Baldwin" had a narrow es cape from perishing in his. fire trap.. Amid all the din he slept peacefully Until his room was broken into and he .was dragged from bed. H. I. Ko walsky, a well ' known attorney-, Was also dragged unsconscious from bed.. He will recover, i The Baldwin hotel has been known and. dreaded for years by firemen and; insurant people ;as the worst kind of a fire trap; It has -been stated often that there were no. fire walls in it ex cept those enclosing the theatre, and . the insurance companies-would not run' a risk -on the building except for. a small 'amount and a heavy premium. The building of j the hotel .9began. in 1873 and was finished in 1877,; its total cost, including ground and -furniture being $3,000,000. ; In the building was the Baldwin theatre. Tie street floor of the immense building was occupied by the hotel officers, " bar room and a number of stores. In the basement was an elaborately fitted cafe: ' E. J. Baldwin stated today -that h.e carried $100,000 insurance but he could not" remember in what company.' The Baldwin theatre was" completely demolished by the falling of the fifth floor., 'i'he entire effects of the Secret Service Company, which was filling an engagement at that theatre, were de stroyed. -A"' great deal of jewelry and money belonging to members of the company were lost.' In addition the contracts wee burned. The Columbia theatre and -places of business opposite the Baldwin were damaged by w"ater to the extent of $15,000. E. J. Baldwin is prostrated and un able to tell much abour his affairs. He says he will. not be able to estiinate' his loss for';several days. H. W. Luks, manager of the hotel, barely managed to get out With his wife and child. He says there were 302 guests in the hotel.
