The experience of the city of Boston
under the License law which went into
operation last May is recommended to the
consideration of prohibitionists. The places
were spurious liquors are sold are less by
nearly seven hundred than they were last
year, and the arrests for drunkenness have
fallen off 20 per cent, while sl64,442.14
have been paid into the city treasury for
license fees.
On Saturday morning Piedmont, w.
Va. was visited by confagration, destroy
ing whole block of buildings, fifteen in
number, all or nearly oil of them business
houses, well stocked with goods. At the
west end of the burned block was located
the town hall, a handsome and useful
building, which cost $4,000, but had
been improved and was valued at ST. 900.
1t was insured for $4,000 On its ground
floor were located several business firms.
The entire loss by the conaagration was
about $4,000. On this sum there is a
very large amount of insurance--as near
as could be ascertained about s35,0O0.
Another shocking accident from the
falling Of scatfolding occurred on Satur-
day ut the main Centennial Exhibition
building, Philadelphia, by which three
painters were killed, one instantly, and
the other two dying within an hour. 1t
appears that scaifold had been erected
at the east end of the main Exhibition
building, upon which three men were en-
gagged in painting the ceiling. AT half.
past II o'clock, while the huge hall was
full Of visitors, this scaiiold gave way, pre-.
cipitating the men to the floor, distance
of fifty feet. The accident created the
widest excitement, and the groans and
cries Of the victims greatly intensified il
Thomas Fattreo was killed Instantly, hi
body being mashed in a terrible manner
the brains being scattered about the fooI
and every bone broken. The other tw,
men were Benjamin r. Willis, aud p. w
Smith.
