Since 1S63 the losses by fire In the
United States have averaged $105,000,-
000 a year, the lowest being $100,000,t
000, and the highest $110,000,000, and
yet In 1871 the loss In Chicago alone
was $200,000,000.
But where did fire come from and
who gave It and ' when. There is no
mention of fire In the Mosaic account
of the creation, nor for two thousand
years after it. Until after the flood
there was not much need of Are, for
the people were not permitted to eat
meat. Their food was the fruits of the
earth. Btit I reckon they did have
fire and blacksmith shops and made
hammers ,and hoes and nails, etc.
Noah-qould not have built'the ark with
out tools and nails. The presumption
idtha't the Creator supplied Adam with
tools to dress the garden and Abel with
knives to sacrifice the fititlings of his
flock, but there are Indian tribes in
our day and negroes in Africa and Es
quimaux in the Arctic regions who
have ho knowledge of iron or its uses.
A thousand years before Chris't, Ho
mer wrote that Jupiter only possessed
the element tliat we call fire and when
man was created man he /refused to
give him fire. Butr'-Pfometheus stole
some from heaven and'gave it to man
and it made Jupiter so mad that he
chained him to a rock rnd sent eagles
to cat his liver out, and as fast as. they
eat it by day the .liver grow again by
night, but finally lie. was liiicliafoed 'and
the eagles driven away..' lt v secms tliat
Prometheus was a friend 'to mankind
and by the command of Jupiter actu
ally created man out of the. mud that
was left after the flood—hot Noah’s
•flood, but the flood of Deucalion, away
back in the ages. He. was a god poarly
as powerful as Jupiteir apd was always
in a quarrel with hfm. Ho taught
Ihiankind architecture, astronomy, fig
ures, medicine, navigation and. all the.
ar.ts that adorn life. At Athens and

ROTTENESS IV MUNICIPALITY.
Grand Jury at >t. I.ouls Creates a
Wldeipread Sensation. *
A special from St. Louis. Mo. 1 , says:
The most sensational charges are
made by the grand jury which has
been investigating bribery and official
corruption in the municipal assembly,
In Its final report to Judge O’Neill
Ryan, in the criminal court Saturday.
Indictments returned and made public
were:
Robert N. Snyder, bribery; Edward
Butler and John H. Becker, attempted
bribery; George J. Kobusch, perjury.
The grand jury report declares that
the people of St. Louis have put a
vague conception of tho extent to
which corruption and venality have for
the past ten years existed among the
sworn officers and public servants. It
finds the true condition of affairs al
most too appalling for belief.

QRON SHEDS LIGHT.
Alleged Bribery Scandal Was
Worked Up By the “No Sale”
Faction in Denmark.
A Washington dispatch says: The
investigation of charges made in con
nection with the Danish West Indian
purchase v.-as begun Tuesday before
the special committee appointed by
Speaker Henderson.
Mr. Gron was the first witness sworn
by Chairman Dalzell. He sail in Feb
ruary last, parties in Copenhagen,
who opposed the transfer of the Dan
ish West Indies had persuaded him to
come to Washington and place the
Christmas report before congress and
the public, so that the facts would be
known. He told of having secured u
note of Inrrodubtion to General ,Gros
vonor, of Ohio; or arranging to meet
the latter in Washington, his purpose
being, he said, to carry out assurances
given at Copenhagen that he would
place the matter before Influential
men and thus bring it to the attention
of congress and the public.
Mr. Gron told in great detail of
bringing the papers before General
Grosvenor, who at first seemed quite
indignant, Mr. Gron said, and Fpoke
of laying the matter before the proper
parties in order that suitable action
might be taken. The witness said that
later Grosvenor concluded that it
would be proper to lay the matter be
fore the secretary of state. This was
done, and Mr. Gron said he learned
that the state department held that it
could take no action and that the au
thorities had In nowise committed
themselves to Christmas.
Gron said that after Grosvenor had
decided not to proceed with the mat
ter he (Gron* had prepared a state
ment for the Associated Press and
had asked Mr. Crane, a newspaper
man, to send some one from
the Associated Press to hlnf
for a statement and to General Gros
venor for assurances as to Gron's
standing. He learned later, through
Mi. Crane, that Orosvenor said he
kn6w'Whtnfl about it.
He, said he was Informed, after
he /submitted the statement, that
thy Associated Press could hot use It.
Afterwards, he said, he submitted his
statement to several newspapers and
more or less of It whs -printed.
The witness then detailed how he
had placed £he matter before Repre;
sentatlves Richardson and Underwood,
who had gone over the papers.
What was your purpose In bring
ing it before members” asked Mr. Dal
zell.
“To get It Into the house and before
the American people,answered the,
wltrest. ,
In response to an Inquiry the. wit
ness took up various branches of thi?
Case. He said he represented those
constituting the “No Sale” party in
Denmark.
