CONDENSATION at San Francisco

=
SAN FRANCISCO, August 29.-About II
o'clock last night fire broke out in the
box factory on Brandon street, in the
southern part of the city. The neigh
borhood was closely built up with frame
dwellings, stores and manufacturing es-
tsblishments, and before 2 o'clock in the
morning the fire had almost completely
swept away the large block bounded by
Brandon, Townsend, Third and Fourth
streets, the only buildings saved being
five offices of the Central Pacific rail-
road and few frames of small value, the
latter being mostly badly damaged.
Over two hundred poor families have
been turned out of doors, and the loss
will probably aggregate S5Oo,Oo0.
Among the buildings destroyed was the
German hospital, largo brick editice,
containing at the time about seventy
patients. Owing to tie rapid spread -t
flames the inmates were ior while

but were eventually removed without &C
cident The fire at one place crossed TO
the north side Of Brennan street, and the
railroad hotel, large three-story frame,
was completely destroyed. The streets
for blocks in the neighborhood were
Uttered with household goods and packed
with q dense crowd, while all the numer-
Gus eminences in the city we're covered
with spectators. At one time there was
imminent danger that the fire would
crors to Third street and sweep that por-
tion of the city down to the Psc'hc
Mail docks, but the fire brigade
made stand on that street and
checked the flames. Some of the
dwellings destroyed were of superior
character. Besides these, the principal
loss IS in the destruction of the hospital,
Railroad Hotel and a box, sash and
blind mandatory. During the contia:
grafton, fireman named Stewart fell
from a ladder, on Brennan street, and
was instantly killed, his neck being
broken. A number of minor accidents
are reported, but few of serious nature.

NOTES.

IT is to be hoped that the telegraphic
report that General BabcOCk has resumed
his duties at the White House may turn
out to be incorrect. We do not believe
him to have been guilty of any actual
knowledge of or connection with the
whisky frauds. One can easily see that
he may have acted the fool without being
aknave. Neither is it sure sign that a
man is not fool because he has brains.
Some of the 'smarlest" men in the world
often act like idiots in particular direc-
ton. II is creditable, too to the heart of
the President, that he has all along be.
heved his secretary innocent. NeveIthe-
less, in view of all the facts and circum-
stances, the confidential relation he has
heretofore held to the Executive ought
at once to be severed. If he does not
choose to make this voluntary concession
to public sentiment, the President should
require it at his hands The people ex.
pect it, and it is never safe to ignore the
popular conscience. Pittsburgh CONNER
cial 29h.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-03-02

WELL, Babcock was found not guilty
after the jury was out two or three hours
No doubt it was great relief to Bah,
and it would appear as though it was a
tight squeeze We shall not say we re.
gret that Mr. BabcoCk was acquitted, for
it would be wrong to wish the man harm
especially if innocent. The evidence,
however, showed close communion be-
tween Babcock and the ring; that he
aided and abetted them in their schemes
as far as he used his influence; he was
the active agent and friend inside Of the
White House. The proof may not have
been sufficient to fully and completely
establish the connection in a criminal
way. The verdict must give us that con-
clusion. Babcock will not care to be in
such box again soon. He may remem-
her that "evil communications, etc."

that after he left the shoemaker's, OH his

wandered around from one field to an.
other. The las positive information in
regard to the boy is that he was seen on
Tuesday, about noon, near Mr. Abbott's

that boy was lost hundreds of men
offered their assistance in hunting for

Wesley Copus died at Mitflin on Monday.

Mr.. Copus-iather of the deceased was
one of the early settlers Of Mifflin town

dent to pioneer life. In the fall of 1912
he was killed by band of Indians from
Greentown, in his own house. About the
same time the horrible massacre of the
Seymour family took place, on the prem
ises now occupied by Sebastian Cutler.
Wesley .Copus and his brother James
were present when their father as shot,
Wesley being then about nine and James
twelve years old. Although young in
years the scene was nevertheless indie
libly imprinted on their minds, and in
their ripe old age they often recounted
the horrible tale to their friends and
kindred. The two brothers, ON arriving
at the age of manhood, permanently set
tied down on and near the premises of
their father and lived there until their
death. James Copus died ew years
ago, Wesley was in his seventythird
year when he died.
