DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HE !DvILLE
About II o'clock on Sund,y night, q
fire was discovered issuing rom the
steam saw mill of John P. an William
b. Hoskinson, at Healdville. TIE flames
were first discovered bursting through
the roof, and were SO far advanced that
nothing could be saved. 1t was with
great exertion the depot and railroad
wood shed were saved. The wood-shed
caught fire several times, but was fortu-
nately extinguished Men ard women
of the neighborhood fought the flames
with courage and determination and
their efforts proved successful in staying
the progress of the flames.
The Messrs Hoskinsons lose nearly TO-
600 feet of sawed lumber, and about 200
cords of slabs, and quantity of timber
and logs.
The fire is supposed to be the work of
an incendiary, as there had been no fire
in the mill since q week ago last Friday.
Loss 81 500, Insurance $1,000. We learn
that it is the intention to rebuild the
mill at once. The Messrs. Hoskinson have
the active sympathy of large circle of
friends who know them, both here and
elsewhere, in their misfortune, but they
are live energetic men, and will soon be
in way to retrieve their misfortunes.

His buggy got entangled in tha wheels of the

his library and his household goods, were safe

Bat again new peiis appeared. A little United

So to Washington the Englishman went, and
there he pleaded for his books to be entered free
of duty. He urged his claims for days, for
weeks, and at length for years, but Uncle Sam
was inAeXible, and held that under the circum-
stances the books were not brought TO the
United States for the owners private use, but
for sale. After remaining somewhat over three
years in the little custom house the duty
was paid, and the books were sent to New York
and sold. And so was broken up this unfortu-

Business men in New York appear to have
grown sick of the practice of Compromising
frauds aud robberies." They mud that it en-
courages robbery, and, at the same time, shields
robbers from punishment. very little rcHec-
ton would have enabled them to see the matter
IN this light, without the aid of disagreeable ex
perieuce. But the temptation to compromise is
always strong, and the sO-called detective sys
tenn has always furnished facilities as well as
temptation. A business man is robbed of $780,
900 in money and bonds, To lose this amount
will make him a bankrupt perhaps. He can not
afford the loss and can not think quietly of
failing to recover his property. While in this
state of mind he is told in whispers that certain
detectives know the robbers and can bring them
TO compromise" Should they be arrested,
the property would not be found on them; but
they will return part of it if he will engage not
10 proceed against them. 1t seems the best he
can do. Accordingly, he RECEIVERS part of what
was stolen, without being told how the re-
mainder is divided between the robbers and the
detectives Standing alone, he lacks support
against the temptation to compromise. Sup
ported by ali others engaged in business, he
might resist il and bring the robbers to grief.
1t is reported that Wall street has resolved to
make war on this practice of compromising.
Certain men there whose business involves pay
ing and receiving large sums of money almost
every day, propose to combine against it, and
support each other in hunting down robbers
and Furnishing them without mercy. In every
c ase the pursuit of a criminal viii be made
matter Of general concern, and no effort will be
spared to IN Ike it successful. The proposed
reform is needed in many other places besides
New York. In many cases of compromise, OF
which something is known, the detec ives have
seemed to be little better than the thieves; and
sometimes, 1t is believed, the detectives have had
a complete understanding with the thieves be-
fore the rob5eries were perpetrated especially
in New York. The arrest of Van Eeteu seems
to have brought TO light some astounding facts
connected with forgery and robbery IN that city,
and given the business men of Wall street
great uneasincss. Arrests have been made
which the papers have not mentioned; there are
important revelations" which have not yet
been made public; and we are assured that
some very startling developments care shortly
to be divulged," Under these circumstances,
the idea of a protective union against robbers
has secured attention and is likely to be re-
allied.
