FIRE IN PEARL STREET

fire broke out at hali-past five O'Clock yester-
day morning In the five story brick building Nos.
"a and SO Pearl street 1t was discovered by
O1cer Cavanagh. OF the First precinct. who, while
patrolling through Pearl street, noticed smoke
issuing from window IN the third story OF the
building He promptly gave the alarm and the
engines were soon on the ground. The names
burst through the fourth and firth floors to
the ROOT which they soon DESTROYED. The
heat was at one time SO intense that the fremen
could with difficulty WORK; yet they continued on
bravely and succeeded In limiting the damage to
the building they were on. Several opinions were
started at the scene OF the IRE as to Its origin.
One was that 1t started in the tea drying room,
and another that 1t originated with some cotton
that mad been smouldering all night. An examl-
nation has been ordered ~ Fire Marshal Sheldon
to determine this point The first floor and
basement were occupied by Michael Gallagher,
cotton merchant, whose stock was damaged to
the extent OF $4,000 by IRE and water; insured for
$4,000 The second, third, fourth and NTH floors
were occupied BY J; N. Nichols, tea merchant;
his loss is estimated at $4,000. The building Is
said be injured 10 the extent OF $1,000. One OF
the fremen member Of Truck No. 10, had his
hands slightly cut by glass. The examina ton be-
lore the Fire Marshal will take place to- morrow.

The Hartford Courant remarks:-
There IL one point in favor OF innatton that its
advocates have overlooked. It may greatly in
crease our reputation as h0spita0le people. The
report tnat the city government Of Havana has
appropriated $50. 600 to sustain the Chinese Com
missiOners has been printed and praised In nearly
ali our exchanges e. an act OF princelY munin-
cence. BY the latest account imitation has reached
such point In Havana that 1t took SIS Of paper
money to buy 81 OF the worlds circulating medium.
This TACT cuts down the princely munincence TO
$2,c0O-which, though respectable sum- certainly
fails to impress one as the $4,000 item did. BY
greater innation the appropriation might have
been called much more, and yet have been worth
still less. The useful hint in this that the more
we innate the more will we entertain outsiders,
ought not to be overlooked.
The Marysville (Cal.) Appeal says:-
The people have for years been hugging the delu-
sion that the government would abandon Its green

that Congress is In favor Of increasing instead OF
diminishing the greenoack currency. The tact Il
