Every Store but Two Destroyrd-Tsn Sar dine Factories Burned. EiRT-PotT, Me., October 15.—A fire whioh broke out at this place yesterday evening raged furiously for ten hours, defying all efforts to control or arrest it. It started in Oapen A Median's sardine factory and swept in a northerly direction along the wa ter front and through Water street, burning ten sardine factories, two hotels, about thirty dwelling houses, the custom house end post-office, and every placo of tusim ss where goods of any description were kept for sale, except two small grocery stores, which wore out of the path of the fire. It is impossible at this time to make an ac curate statement of the loss sustained, or to ascertain the amount of insurance. The total loss will probably amount to at least $500,000, partly covered by insurance, except the loss on the sardine factories, which could not procare insurance. The factorieg gave employment to at least 2,000 persons, who sro now doprived of their moans of support. Much suffering must ensue unless immedi ate aid ia rendered. Contributions cun be forwardod to Hon. N. B. Butt, collector of customs. Telcgrapbio communication was out off at 4 p. m. yesterday, and has jnst been reopened. It is raining heavily now and the fires are extinguished. The aggregate lass is. esti mated by the thief engineer of the fire de- lartment and insurance agents at $504) 000, i'oesat'ieqnoddy hotel,Island House, Fron tier House and ’ American House were burn ed. The savings bauk, Frontier national bank and custom house, all brick buildings, were totally destroyed. The e rentier bank building was snpposcd to be fire proof. The custom house, post-offioeand United Stat-e ■ignrd office records anil books wero burned, as well as the offices of both newspapers pobliihed here, the Standard and the Hem t-neL Murdered by Two Cowards. BabTivoar, October 17.—John Curran John Burke, Jr., and James Kennedy were this afternoon engaged in a political discus sion in a saloon, which ended in an in vitation from Barke to Cnrran to fight. Carran threw away bis pistol, and fol lowed Burke to the street, where ho soon got the belter of his antagonist, but Kennedy picked np a car oonpling and struck Cnrran on the head, knocking him senseless. Barke then a coupling pin, and the two beat the sensible man to death. Both were arrested, Carran was at one time a member of the State Legislature, and was a well-known politician. Best Without Fire. Southern Printer. Prof. Willie, of the Boston Institute of Technology, hue inventei, after many ex periments, a “friction heater," by which heat is generated without the nse of fire, and water heated on short notice. It is de scribed as simple in construction, consist ing only of an iron cylinder, ono foot ling and one foot in diameter, having afixee plate of hardened iron in one end and a second plate attached to a revolving shaft, and pressed lightly or tightly against the fixed piste, as circnmsUncei require. The cylinder is filled with water, the shaft revolve*, and from the friction of the plates the water in an incredibly abort time ia heated, and by means of pipes can be carried to great distances for heat ing purposes. The machine has been in practicd operation for some months, and it is demonstrated that a machine with thirty-six square inches of friction surface will b»ut a room of ten thousand cubic foot better and quicker than coal, wood or steam can do it, »nd absolutely without expense, save the wear of the friction plates and the pittance for extra coal under the boiler. By this apparatus there is no dan- oer from fire or exploeion, and wherever there ia waste, power which can be utilized in this way the heat is obtained for almost nothing. It w claimed that a heater requiring two-horse jower to run it will amply heat a room eon- aining fifty thousand cabio (set, the beater coating one hundred dollars. Of course, time and further experiment will determine bow useful the invention will prove practi cally, but there sro those who now believe in it, and a company ha* been organized in Boston wilh t capital of a half * million to manufacture and introduce the apparatus For cotton mill*, steam cars, and a variety of other purposes the security agalnet firei will be a great conaideralion In favor of the invention. CIIUUCII CONVENTIONS. RU8SI A*» Jatrrvlew With Uv-u. Young Abont th« People, Clltnate, Etc. Wxshdioton, October 11.—Gen. Pieroe M. B. Young, of Georgia, consul general to bt. Petersburg, is in Washington on a leave of absence. Gen. Y'onng is a nephew of Gol. Thomas L. Jones, of Kentuoky. Ho has had a somewhat remarkable career. He was at West Point when the war broke out. and entering the Confederate army ho attained the rank of mBjor-general when only about twenty-alx years of age—the youngest man of hi. rank in tho Southern cause. After the surrender he was fonr times eloctcd to Congress aud moat of that time be was the only Democratic member from Georgia—in the Bullock days of re construction. President Cleveland appoint ed him consul-general to St. Petersburg. He is barely 45 years of sga. Gen. Yonng was at the Courier-Journal bnrean to-day and I asked him bow he liked Russia. “Very well, except the climate in win ter,” he replied. “There ia toj much eleo tricity iu the atmosphere there in the win communication in reference to the pro-rlP r > m y physician tells me I cannot posed resolution of the House of 1 spend that season there again without en daogering my iif&" ’loll mo something of St. Petersburg.” It is a beautiful and ono of the best built cities in Europe, it is nil nLmo brick, ami Ihe population is now about 1,- 990,000. The society is brilliant and de- ightful. The people ore as a rule kind and Jepnties to tho Congressional assem bly, which, among other things contained: “The House of Bishops takes the* opportunity to assure the Honsu of Deputies of its profound sympathy witii tho spirit of their resolntion. This house declares its hearty respect and affection for all who love the Lord Jeans Christ in sin cerity, and at this time especially for their fellow Christians assembled iu this city ns a national council of the Congregational churches in theUnited States.Thin house also avoirs its solemn purpose, under the guid ance of the Holy Spirit, to promote, with the concurrence of the Home of Deputies, some practicable plan for bringing before oil our fellow Christians in Ibis land the duty to our common Lord and Savionr of terminating the nnbappy divisions which dishonor the blessed name and hinder the triumph on earth of His glorious kingdom.” The communication states that the reso lution is returned with the foregoing itate- ment as a reason for a failure to approve the resolution contained in the message. A motion was adopted, providing that a vote be taken npon the proposal to drop the words “Protestant Episcopal,” at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning. The two houses then assembled ns a board ot missions, and entered upon the discussion of the proposition to change the co a position of the, board of management cf missions, as recommended by the special committee on missions. Without reaching a vote the convention adjourned. When the afternoon session waa fairly nnder way, Bishop Harris made an address favoring aiinaal meetings of the board of missions. There was, bo said, profound discontent in many quarters over the preseti t arrangement. This should be promptly met, and the work of missionary labor be popularized. The teal board ot missions now sat bat once in threo yeais, and the board of managers' had Drastically entire control. In spite et the noble exer tions cf n embers of that board their work was an - autocracy. The ten- deieoy of the system was to i iiuMulWYJ That explained the lack of interest shown throughout the land. It dupended on princely gifts of a few laymen. No one would wish these contributions withdrawn, bat there wm credit dne others as well. Dr. Hall replied, defending the action of the board in taking away tho right of soling from the missionary bishops, and in reducing their salaries. He disclaimed being op posed to holding yearly meetings of the board. After considerable discussion resolutions establishing a missionary oonncil which shall meet annually, were adopted. Legal advice ia to be obtained relative to giving the missionary bishops a vote therein. The board adjourned until next Friday. FREW BAPTISTS. ipitable.

He is an able lawyer, and will in time makes splendid diplomat.” “Is Russia advancing in civilization?" 'Yes, particularly in military matters. Her army ia probably the best equipped and best drilled in the old world. There are about 625,900 men in the field or in camps all the time, and in four months 001,(100 more could be placed in marching order. The aoidiera ate spiutauiil lucking fellows, and drilled to perfection. Their pay is only abont (i a year. Tbny are of course fnrnisbed with clothing and rations and equipment*. They drill hard during the summer months, and work oat at their trades tho rest of the year.

Bntshe is reedy for a crisis ot that sort, and sbo will bo mighty hard to handle when it comet. Russia has in view what ahe consideis neces-ary to her career, an outlet to the high sesa, and ultimately the possession of Constantinople. That has been the dream of Ihe Czars for a century.” “Will they get there do you think?' “Some of these days, I havo no doubt. Fnitluud will have her bands fall in India and Ireland.” “Is the cold intense in winter?" “It often drops to forty below zero, bnt it is so dry and we are so well prepared for it with heavy clothing that we do not mind it.
