thirteen- families in the building.
The building was occupied by thirteen
families who have been made temporarily
homeless by the Are.
The flames did not do very much damage
iu the various apartments, but burned out
their strength 'in the hallways. The pe
cu-'iary loss will not amount to more than
110009. The fire originated in the rear of
J h Snider’s restaurant, at an hour when
all th * people in the house were sleeping
s mndly. Just bow the fire startol
is as yet a mystery, but ns the
restaurant cook is" missing it is pre
sumed that the accident occurred while
he was making a Are in the big range. The
awful speed with whichtho flames swept up
through the building suggest the use of
kerosene by the cook. The door leading
from the kitchen to tho hallway was found
open, and a great volume of fire rolled out
into the passage, ami swept up the stair
ways so rapidly that the famili es living on
tee first floor must inevitably have perished
without even so much as a warning, but it
bo happened that the rooms directly over
the restaurant ore unoccupied on account
of the heat, v ich seems to sift through the
flooring from the range underneath.
DISCOVERED BY TWO POLICEMEN.
Less than half a block away, on the
corner of Thirty-eighth street and the
avenue, stood Policemen Warner and
McCullough of the Thirtieth station. They
received warning from a cry of pain which
c .me from the building, and looking in the
direction from which it came, saw a wall
of lire beating against the front windows of
the resraura ,t.' By the time that they
realised what the trouble was, a forked
tongue of flame shot out from the roof and
lighted no the neighborhood. With their
clubs the two i fticers boat in the front
c -or. but the spiteful b’aze shot out and
drove them back. They tried the next
door, and iu th ;t way found an entrance.
WARNING THE INMATES.
There were signs of life in the building,
aud the officers hurried from one room to
another, rapping on the doors with their
clubs and calling to the inmates to fly for
then ii\es. Muniiuriugsat first were heard,
the i the I UZZ of many voices which finally
changed into a wail of terror and ago y
from the women and children struggling for
their lives in the death trap. The fire
escapes leading from the burning building
totue as yet untouched buildings next
door were speedily filled up with half
naked people. in the meantime alarms

loons, each successful shot helping the bunch
to descend. Before it finally reached the
water the boat was at tlio spot and the little
Sophie dii! not even get her feet wet.

Than First Intended.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 19.—Tho

abandoned one. Mr. Droxol expects the
building and endowment to cost $1,500,000.

RAILROAD PENSIONS.
A New Scheme to be Tried on the
Pennsylvania Road.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 19.—The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company is about to
adopt a policy toward its employes more
important than any in its history. Arrange
ments are being made to establish a pension
system, the first of its kind in the United
States. The pension plan will he introduced
in connection with tho company’s re
lief association. At tho end of the
association’s last fiscal year, the third of its
history, it was found that there was a sur
plus in the treasury, after the payment of
all benefits, of $179,789. Tho existence of
this balance suggested tho introduction of
the pensions to the superannuated members
of the reliof association.
CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.
There are certain complications to bo ad
justed before the pension system can Ixi put
iu force. Those employes who have put
their money into the association did so with
the understanding that the fund was to be
drawn from only to pay death, accident
ami sick benefits. If the new plan, involv
ing tho payment of pensions as well, shall
be adopted, the consent of tho members
of the association will first have
to be obtained, but no difficulty
from this source is anticipated.
President has taken a hearty in
terest in the plans,and has offered to re com
mend to the companies associated iu the
fund a contribution of $50,000 to help estab
lish a-pension system.

Good Deal of Vigor.

sels wero sentenced to pay a fine of SI,OCO
each or to undergo live mouths imprison-
The others were imprisonel for tor ms of
from five months downward.
SOME OF THE ARTIFICES.
To show what shifts tho owners and mas
ters of schooners are now put to aud the ar
tifices that have to be resorted to in order
to get bait, it is but necessary to describe
tbe plan adopted by one detected French
vessel. A false bulk herd was built next to
Die cabin. Throe pieces of decking were
cut out and tho space was filled with her
ring. In order to hide all traces of the
dodge a seine was carefully spread over tho
decks.
COTTON’S COVERING.
Charleston Excited Over the Action of
the Liverpool Exchange.
Charleston, 8. C., Aug. 19.—Tho presi
dent of the Charleston Oottou Exchange
has received a letter from Peter Brown,
president of tho Liverpool Cotton Associa
tion, limited, in which that official says:
“I have been instructed to intimate to the
American exchanges that this association
condemns tho use of cotton bagging and
does not see its wav to make any legislation
dealing with cotton so covered.”
As the farmers’ alliances in
this state have already made
arrangements for cotton covering for the
coming crop the situation looks alarming.
Most of the members of the Charleston ex
change are out of the city, and no action
has been taken as yet on the letter. It looks
very much as if there will be trouble here ns
soon os the cotton movement begins.

Dog Has Hie Day and That That of

in tho Independent, a paper at Selma, Ala.,
edited by a colored preacher named Bryan,
has created astir in Alabama. An edito
rial in the last issue abused the whites for
various injustices against the colored race,
and concluded as follows:
Were you (the whites) to leave thiß southland,
in twenty years it would be one of the grandest
sections of the globe. Wo would show you moss
back crackers how to run a country. You
would never see convicts half staryed. depriv
ing hon si working men of an honest living. 16
is only a matter or time when throughout this

day. You now have yours. You hat e received

predict that at no very distant day we will hav*
our nice war, and we hope, as God intends, thaS
we will bo strong enough to wipe you out of ex
istence and hardly leave enough of you to tell
the story. It, is hound to come, and just sued
hot-headed cranks as tno editors of some of our
democratic journals are just the right set to
hasten it. It is fate.

provrnt Rev. Bryan, who is now ab

their physical aid to stop such utterances.
