ELECTRIC RAILWAY SHOPS OO. Engines Unable to Handle the Fire- Loss Estimated at $300,000 Origin Unknown. By Wire to The Telegram. Brooklyn, Sept. 3. The repair and car shops of the Nassau electric rail road, at Thirty-sixth street, were burned this morning. These were buildings occupying an entire block and only blackened walls remain. The damaere is estimated at two hundred thousand dollars. On account of the inaccessibility of the fire, the engines did not arrive on the scene until the flames were beyond control and they were utterly power less to save the buildings. The fire men had great trouble with the trolley wires. Hard work and great caution was necessary lest their lives were en dangered. The police do not believe the fire was of incendiary origin although the start is unknown. It is tnousrni to . nave caught from an imperfectly insulated wire. Watchman Patrick Fallor first discovered the fire. The Franco-Russian Alliance. Paris, Sept. 3 The minister of com merce. M. .Boucher, is quoted, in .an interview printed by the Gaulois to day, as saying that the governments of France and Russia are anxious to make every . eff ort compatible with their, economic interests to develop commercial , intercourse between the two countries. Continuing, M. Boucher said he did not entertain the least hope that Rus sia would abandon her protective pol icy, as the chiex object 01 Jtiussia was to draw capital into the empire, and that policy had been crowned with suc cess, many t rencn, owiss, .Belgian and other manufacturers having estab lished works in Russia. On the other hand, the aim of France was to en courage exports. Where large . gov;- ernment contracts; could be obtained, French influence had succeeded in ob taining them. For instance, contracts had recently been obtained to construct eighty locomotives for Russia and to build a new bridge over the Neva. The minister added that individual enterprise must still exert itself. Japan and Nicaragua Canal. By Wire to The Telegram. Washington, Sept. 3. It is report ed that the Japanese government is secretly negotiating with the diet of the Greater Republic of Central Amer ica for the construction of the Nicara- guan canal independent of the United States and other countries interested, but the report receives little . credence in official circles. The enormous ex pense attending the work, estimated at $175,000,000; is mentioned as a strong reason for disbelief of the report. Seth Low Accepts the Nomination. By Wire to The Teijsgram.

The de mand for horses to be used in packing over the passes from Skaguay . is in creasing, and during the weeic several hundred horses will be shipped there. There are now at Skaguay about 4,000 horses, and it is difficult to see how this number can be fed during the win ter. Many predict that both men and horses will be starving before spring, and that the horses will be killed and eaten. Gratuitous It has reached our ears, from various sources, that emies of The Telegram are industriously circulating the report that The Telegram is an experiment, that it would shortly suspend publication, that our subscribers were for a month only and many of them were falling off. We have ignored these reports for a time, ! but a feeling? that some assurance is only to say tnat tne patronage received nas exceeded our expectations ; that the number of subscribers we have lost is far on the safe side of a dozen, , but on the contrary new subscribers are coming in daily; that our subscription books are always open to our patrons and an affidavit may always be had as to their accuracy. The Telegram is not an experiment, but a realty ; we are at least so encouraged that we are preparing to in crease our equipment at an dollars. The Telegram is a permanent institution.

Judge Greene, who held Forsyth su perior last year, has beenj sued for damages. The case, which j is to be tried at the next term of Wilkes court, arises out of an application for a writ of habeas corpus, in a suit 'against a man named Harris, of Wilkes county. The defendant was placed in jail. His attorneys applied to Judge Greene for papers to take their man jout of rthe lock-up, but he refused to grant them. Application was then madej to Asso ciate Justice Furches, who granted the writ. The indications are thatthe case will excite great interest when it is tried. Winston Sentinel.

Why High Point Hust Have Water works A Plan Suggested. There is one thing that High Point needs. We are behind the times so far as our water service is concerned. Our hewers of word have made themselves famous all over the world, but our drawers, of water are still content with the old fashioned rope and windlass method. Whjr should we not have a system of waterworks? Dr. Bradshaw stated to me that the new dynamo which the town is to get ought to pay for itself in a few years The city patronage given to a water system would without doubt" exceed that given electric lights . But whether or not waterworks would be self-sup porting, it is something that ho pro gressive city with a population equal to High Point's will long remain with out. Shile many of our citizens would doubtless oppose any -movement m this direction, it does not seem to me to be premature at all. Our town might lose by fire in one night prop erty which would surpass in value the finest water system in the land. We also need a better sewerage system, which cannot be obtained without the water supply. High Point has an en viable' reputation as a wide awake town and her bonds would very likely find a ready market at . home and abroad. Let our citizens consider this matter. - - - Spain Should Aask for Damages. . Havana , Sept.'- 3. -The organ of the conservative party , La Union Con stitutional, commenting . upon the dis patches from Madrid announcing that the Spanish government is consider ing the manner in which to present to the United States, claims for damages as a result of the departure from Amer ica and landing in. Cuba, of filibuster ing expeditions, says that the contem plated action of the government is jus tified, adding: "Is .it not notorious that the influence and sympathy of Americans has been used in support of the separatists and of the rebellion? And is there any doubt of .their respon sibility before the world . for, the mis- ortune which we are suffering from? " THE MARKETS. Closing Quotations by Private Wire to H. W. SlUby & Co. Mess.H.W.
