FIRE ALARM. AT n quarter to nin
o'clock last night lire was discovered il
a lot Of rubbish in the rear of the fran,
building ut the corner of Eighth stree
and Washington avenue. The alarm wa
sounded and the Rough and Ready an,
anu Arab engines were promptly on Tia,
ground, though their services were moi
required, the fire having been casilyeN
iinguishcd. The fire Is thought to hay,
been the work Of an inccBdiary, though

WASH TO MovE.--Thc African Mctho.
dist church of Cairo j. in trouble. For
the last six weeks they have not been
able to hold services in their church. the
sidewalk leading from Eighteenth and
Walnut streets To- the church being under
water. This beng the case some Of the
leading members OF the congregation
have come TO the conclusion that the only
| way 10 avoid recurrence OF this mis-
fortune is 10 move the church house to
some more suitable location. That the
church was ever built ia its present loca-
ton has always been wonder to the
outside world.
GONE.-Ihe opinion is almost unani.
nous among farmers and fruit growers
that the fruit crop the coming season
will hardly pay for the gathering. There
may DC few peaches of the later varie-
tics, but all carly varieties have been
"nipped in the bud" and the cold snap
of Wednesday night and Thursday
morning is said to have done the work.
We have heard of a number of persons in
the vicinity OF Villa Ridge who, bccom-
ing discouraged with the prospect, of
making peach-growlng a success, have
cut down their orchards with the view of
rcplaniing them in pear and apple
trees, which stand the cold better and arc
more profitable.
