Is'otodjv,- - w«s ati honyo- The cook was' iff her 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.

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. SAVANNAH GETS HOSPITAL. ieage'n - was. still presCYvld ami -was' hearthstone, and must not be allowed '•to R'o out^.

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.

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.
