Fire In PIttsburs-Flour-Hea &c.
Correspondence of The Tribune
Pl1rssuRc July sth, 1913
Last night between seven and eight O'Clock the
bells struck up an alarm of fire. This happens
so often that unless it continues for some time,
and something is seen like a fire. little attention
is paid TO IT, However, we had considerable
fire. The building was smoke-house, thrce-story
brick, well filed with bacon. How it originated
l cannot learn, but suppose from the fire ordnarl-
" kept in it. 1t happened that the principal pipe
from the water basin was useless, the communl-
cation having been cut off for some purpose or
other: this rendered it difficult 10 get supply OF
water, and the unusual method OF handing buckets
from hand to hand was partially resorted to. lhe
intense heat placed the nclghborlng buildings IN
jeopardy for some time, but the fire was finally
got under with great cxcrtion. The loss IS VAIL
ouslv estimated at from $4,000 to S2O,O00.-
The bacon valued at $1,000 TO Sl3,000. 40
insurance on either the house or the bacon. The
building was owned by Henry Mccullough; the
bacon by Il. GALWAY and l. X L. AcCutcheon.
Flour is still going up. Sales from first hands
quick at 81 % 81 81; from stores 81 IL
81 80. Wheat Is so. No change ofany mo-
ment in the markets Business is very good Tor
the season The iron ship is being taken to pieces
/ and shipped to the lake. but we have two revenue
cutters on the ways. River ! feet inches IN the
channel. The statement made IN one OF the
morning papers that several cases OF the e" black
vomit" had occurred in the city, is incorrect
Excepting the influenza, the health OF the city Is
as good as is usual at this season. think ii well
to notice this, as some of the Eastern papers may
! have copied the article alluded to. Yours, &c
The North East Boundary Line.
The Bangor Wing and Courier contains a let
letter from IIouton, from which we copy the
following intelligence concerning the survey OF the
new boundary line on our North Eastern frontier:
HouLroS, Me June u, lsla
For the last month this has been quite busy
place. it having been the "polnt dc appuyc Tor
the various parties of explorers, surveyors, cngi-
nccrs and commissioners who have had business
upon the frontier.
Colonel Estccourt and his party consisting Of
miners, sappcrs, soldiers, engineers and common
laborers, amounting in all 10 about twenty-five
men, have had their head quarters at Woodstock,
while Mr.. Smith, the American Commissioner,
has had about the same force at this place a
large quantity OF supplies and baggage have
been sent up the Grand Falls upon the SAINT
John, which is calculated for the man depot and
within Il few days. several of the engineers have
gone there
Colonel Estccourt and twelve men and Mr..
Lally and five men on the part Of the American
Commission, have started from the Monument to
preambulatc and re-spot the Eastern Boundary
Line until it strikes the ST. John. Another party
is following them to clear and cut out the road
thirty feet wide, and 1t is intended, as | under
stand, to erect monument Of mason work of
brick and stone at tho starting point ct the source
of the 81. CrolX, another near Park s hill, and
several more at various points upon the line.
The American Commissioner is still here. |
am told that the British Commissioner was asked
how it was expected the line would be
finished up the St. Johns, he replied in about six
weeks. In answer to the same question the
American Commissioner said, that if the provs-
ions held out they might get to the st Johns IN
the course Of year. | understand that the
| British Commissioner proposed to start with his
party from the St. Johns and work south, and that
the American party should begin at the monu-
mcnt and work north, until the parties met. This
plan was not acccded to on the part Of the Anne
rican Commissioner, who thought it best to pro-
/ coed all together and so do up the work strong.
/ There has been considerable emigration for
thc last six months, into this place, from the
Province. The low price of lands, the erection
of mills and the opening of new roads, present
strong inducements to settlers upon the American
side of the line, and nearly fifty families have
recently removed from the st. Johns river into
the county of Aroosook. | am told that the
country north of this place is filling up fast.
| Families and young men arc moving i'll not only
! from the Province but from different parts Of
! Maine. Since the settlement Of the boundary
line, there seems TO be a greater degree Of secu-
rity upon the frontier, and roads are opened
an increasing emigration is anticipated.
