FlRE!-This has been an eventful week
for destruction ofproperty by fire. Olym-
pia set the the example which was quickly
followed by others. Mr.: John Clark OF
Thurston county had his burn full OF hay
burned down--fire catching from the burn.
ing woods near by. The steamer Capitol,
OF Olympia, in towing a scow of hay, SET
fire to the same by a spark from her smoke
stack, which caused the destruction of the
hay, and it was with the greatest difficulty
they saved the steamer. Ward & Mitchell's s
sawmill at Tumwater, caught fire from an
over-heated journal, and but for the
prompt application Of few buckets of
water the mill and the extensive water
pipe factory would have been destroyed.
The dwelling-house OF Mark Byrd, Esq,
near Steilacoom, with furniture, wearing
apparel, and everything in and about the
house, was destroyed by fire spreading
from the woods during his absence. AtJ.
B. Balls logging camp, on Fox Island
Steilacoom Bay, one morning, the whole
force woke up to find their logging road
and everything about the place Of logging
enveloped in flames. The hands were
necessarily discharged and the camp shut
down caused by fire in the woods. The
logging camp Of Damit Dingwall, on the
Saamish, was destroyed by fire. This is
one of the largest camps on the Sound.

Germany Matching France.

LONDON, April pa majority of the
Paris papers, and particularly La Re
p,.btque Franeaise, express the opinion
that General Won Moltke's declarations
in the German Parliament, yesterday,
were no. intended as hostile 10 France.
A special from Berlin SAYS; Won
Moltke's speech attracts as much stten-
tion as Russis's manifesto, and it is gen.
erally assumed that Won Moltke intended
to tell France that Germany is watching
their ornaments; that she is acquainted
with the peculiar disposition OF their
troops; that she cannot conceive their
immense military efforts tc aim at any
thing else save revenge at the first fitting
opportunity, and warning ber that Ger.
many will not allow her to profit by
Oriental troubles for the possible pursuit
of anti-Tsutonlc plans.

much good to our future prospects as 9
city. People CRY hard times. Money
ID scarce and business is dull. All
true, perhaps; nobody doubts that such
is the case generally; but not only will
business continue dull and times hard If
capitalists will persist in withholding
their means from legitimate enterprises.
which will give employment to many,
and open up the avenues for brisk trade;
but it is with bad grace, anyhow, that
such cries arise from Wheeling. Prices
are not as high as formerly; but to n
casual observer there certainly is very
fair amount of business done in the city,
and a. to money being scarce, that is
more in. the imagination, we believe,
than in the reality. Last Sunday
afternoon there were thirty-6ve hired
carriages and hacks standing, at
one time, at one single locality on the
National road, all hired for pleasure
rides. Now, if money can be spent so
freely for pleasure, it certainly cannot be
so very hard to get, or so very scarce,
and really it does seem that, if it can be so
readily procured for amusement, 1t ought
not to be so difficult to be raised for
business venture, which promises ample
return.
We present these thoughts to our busi-
ness men, capitalists and all others who
feel an interest in the future growth
and welfare of the city, for
their careful consideration. An op-
portunity Is presented for Wheeling to
be city directly in the liae OF rail-
way atfording her direct access, east and
west, instead of being, as she is now, a
town, located on switch track of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Can it
be possible that with all the wealth con-
centrated here, this chance WALL be per-
mitted to slip away unimproved for the
lack of the comparatively small sum OF
Sl2,OOO2
All that we will say further on the
subject at present, is, that some OF the
party of gentlemen who lately went on
an excursion over the line Of this
road. stated, while in Cleveland,
that they believed the whole sum
asked for from Wheeling could be
raised in about two weeks. Upon the
strength of these statements, steps were
taken to complete the final location of
the line to this point, and we learn that
the engineer corps, accompanied by Mr..
w. w. CARD, chief engineer, will arrive
here about the latter part of the present
week. This is but another reason Why
the subscription should be speedily raised.
We hope that this, in connection with
the other facts We have stated, viii open
the eyes of our people, and instii fresh
lite into the undertaking.
