ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.

There are several causes given by
those in the vicinity of the fire for its
origin. 1t is claimed by some that the
fire originated from the fire pans
of the timers, but it was first
discovered by them in the cnpola some
distance from where they were at work.
The carpenters employed On the cupola
say that the fire caught from the sparks
from the smoke stack in the rear of the
buildings. l.

RELIEF.


Many heart was glad when steamer
No. s appeared upon the grounds at
about quarter after three. 1t was
driven to the rear of the building, TO
one of the reservoirs, and at twenty
five minutes after three o'clock, an
hour and a half after the eonflagration
began, the first water was thrown on
the fire. AS the stream struck the
building a hearty cheer went up from
the crowd, which seemed rejoiced TO
know that it was no longer a one-side
affair. The efforts of, the firemen were
first directed to the saving of the rear
wing which escaped almost ,uninjured.
Abont four o'clock two. more steamers
arrived on the ground and were placed
at the. foot of the hill near. the creek.
The hose was soon laid and two more
streams of water We're quickly playing
upon the building. One of the steam
ers was No. 8, and the other was a new
steamer from the firm of Silsby, 3.
Bank street, which had been built for a
town in Kentucky and was awaiting
shipment.

A CRASH.
There were some four or five iron
tanks in the top of the central building,
which had capacity of about 5000 gal
Ions of water. They We're supported
by trestle work of wood, and the
flames soon made speedy work of this
which gave way beneath the tanks, and
they fell with a terrible crash clear
through the building to the Easements.
BOY AND OTHERS INJURED.
Just before the tanks fell some twenty
five persons were in the vicinity busily
engaged in removing furniture, etc.
One or two persons are. reported miss
ing. and it is feared that they were
crushed beneath tanks and timbers.
One person boy by tile name of Brown,
the son of the postmaster of Newburgh,
who had been working like hero, was
struck by falling timbers and had both
legs broken and suffered other injuries
which are of very. serious nature.
He was rescued and taken to the village.
About this time man was seen to em-
erge from the building who was evi-
IDENTIFY suffering from burns he had re-
eeived. He ran to the fountain pond
on the lawn and jumped into the water
to allay the. pain. Another man whose
name was not learned in the confusion,
was caught in the flames, and burned
fearfully- about the upper portions
of 0his person. = When he came
out of the building lie was wild with
pain, and the flesh was hanging from
his arms and hands in strings, and he
entreated that his life might. be taken
and his sufferings terminated.
600 SPREAD OF THE FIRE.
The falling of the tanks had carried
the fire to every floor, and, famed by
the strong wind and fed by the combust-
ibIe materials, the fiaaies ileaped upward
and outward and onward with a terrible
roar and rapidity thai bespoke the
doom of their structure. 1t was after
three o'clock, and no relief had come
yet. Eyes were eagearly watching
for the coming of the steamers but they
came not, and the crowd, unable TO
and devoid of every means to battle
with the fire were compelled to stand
and gaze helplessly upon the work of
destruction and havoc, which the flames
were making with the fine building.
The fire was rapidly spreading both
ways, and had reached the wings that
had been first added to the central build
ing. A galvanized cornice of fancy
pattern afforded nice amusement for the
risky fire. 1t would creep under the
lining, ignite the wook work, burn off
tire supports, and it would fall, hang
awhile suspended in the air, and then
drop TO the ground where its destruc-
ton would be completed, and the flames
would leap up against the walls, black
.ning and cracking the walls by the
immense heat, and when the reporter
left at night there was not an inch of
the half of mile of eorniee, that adorned

A Chapter on Gold.

Baron Humboldt said that before Col
umbus struck the New World (1I92), tho
amount OF gold and silver dug annually
amounted 10 only $4,000 anil that
the gross amount Of gold and silver in
use in tho world was Sl75, 900, 900, about
one.twelith Of our national debt. How
valuable was . dollar iu those days ?
Why, II would buy ten bushels oil wheat
and pay for five days labsr. ..
Well, tho Spaniafls oyerrun Mexico
and South America, and before 1869 ono
thousand new mines were discovered in
Europe aud Asia. In 1916 the annual
Yield OF gold nnd silver had increased
from S2JOOO to S750,OCO, and the
silver in use then amounted 10 $3.50, ,0OO,.
900. %. ,a
In 1900 the stock on hand was estinR-
ted at sGj0,CO0, Oeo.
In 100 Il Ind reached 81, ,a95, 900, 900.
In 1860 il had reached 81 900, 900, 900.
From 1910 to 1920 there was not much
mining good deal Of gold and silver
were used in the arts, and, through
wear and tear" the worlds stock Of
gold and silver decreased to 81 ,5GJ, ,0OO,-
600.
From 1900 to 1913, before California,
the worlds supply Of gold and silver,
through mines in Russia aud North and
South America, increased to ~, O95, ,0OO,-
600. .-u8f1 r.1 rsIa. 3d.
In 1sS. came California. Australia
followed, and in 1853 the years yield
was s103,0t0, 900. Statistics show that
the worlds annual yield OF gold and sil.
yer, since 1913 has been S1So, 900, ,0G0
so that, in 1870 the amount OF gold and
silver in the world in money and the arts
amounted 10 $780, 900. 81 l.
Still the gold and silver Is increasing.
Nevada is opening uprich mines, Colora.
do richer, and ono hundred mines are
being worked in Utah alone. I-
There Is also lead enough in Utah to
supply tho world. while California. Idaho,
and Montana arc supplying gold in un-
limited quantities. Tho "Comstock
Lode supplies three tous Of silver per
week, tho " Meadow Valley, " at PiOche,
three tons per week worth s32, ,0O0 per

Robert Bonner, who is good authority
on the subject, says Of sl:ooing horses
We aro enabled to d rect the shocing
OF our own stable OF horses vastly more
to our own satisfaction than ever before.
Still, we hope to acquire as much moro
information as We already possess. A
great deal must always depend on per.
sonal judgment and discretion in apply.
ing even the best asccrtlined general
principles.
1t is not commonly understood, but il
is nevertheless a fact, that ringbones,

ness, strains Of tho loins, "hitching,
ETC., all arise from either maliorlnation
OF the feet, or improper shoeing, or both
combined. II the feet are kept in proper
shape, and properly shod, IL is, in our
opinion, weil-nigh impossible for horse
to be troubled with any Of tho com,
plants We have enumerated. Hence the
Importance Of good shoeing.
But the reader is probably ready Il
ask, how ought horse to be shod We
will answer in this way There are nc
two horses in our stable that wo would
shoe precisely alike consequently, We
are not inclined TO give general direc,
tions. Al ono time, when we had made
bit little progress in our studies, We
experienced considerable benefit from
opening tho heels and cutting down the
loot but we have since that time, n.
we have already intimAted, found out,

people think, to horses that have been

Al Comac, Long Island, Mr.. Smith
Rurr, who has for over thirty years
ranl'ed-and deSeryedly Sous n leading
horseman Of Suffolk county, called our
attention to liltle colt, only six mon tbs
old, that was 30 lame that it could scarce
ly move, and yet neither Mr.. Burr nor
any one in the neighborhood could tell
where tho lameness was seated. Some
persons thought that the colt was lame
in tho wllirl.bone, nnd others that the
trouble was IN the stihe.ioint: but no
ono thought Of boating it in the feet,
where 1t undoubtedly was. The poor
little thing was suffering from morbid
growth or maliormatiOn Of the hooi.
There arc many such cases nll over the
country. AT HamrHoud's farm, near
New London, Conn. a lrigh.bred colt,
only eight months old, was affected in
this same way last fall. 1t was deemed
incurably lame, and in order to put an
end to ito misery, 1t was killed. We
have the affected foot IA our possession.
