FIRE.
Long, Clements & Drury's Paint Factory
Burned.

About 20 minutes of o'clock this morn
ing an alarm of fire was sounded from Box
80, corner of Race and Fourth streets, soon
followed by second, which called the Fire
Department to what seemed to be very
troublesome and dangerous contiagration.
The fire originated in the rear of Messrs.
Long, Clements & Drury's paint manufac-
tory, No. III Race street. The building is
devoted to the manufacture of colors and as
wholesale store for the sale of oils, var
nishes and painters supplies in general.
The burned building, two-story brick
used for the purposes of the factory, is in
the rear of the four-story stone-front, which
fronts on Race. Adjoining the first named
place is the stable of Sol. Langdon the baker,
and the cigar mandatory of S. Lowenthal
Il Co., which fronts on Fourth street, and is
on the site of the old Block building, at
which Chief Megrue came near losing his
life.
The building was in an almost inaccessi-
BILE place, hemmed in by buildings on all
sides, and much of the work had to be done
blindly by the tiremen. So dangerous, i'll
fact, was the nature and situation of the
building that general confagration was
imminent. The factory was stored with
combustibles which yielded to the fire in
stantly.
Workmen in Langdon's bakery noticed
the flames first, and gave the alarm to Po-
liceman Phil. Num-, who turned in the
alarm. BY the time the engines arrived the
flames were bursting through the roof. 1t
seemed at first that it would be impossible
to save the adjoining buildings, but the de-
termined efforts of the gallant tiremen soon
conquered The heat was intense, and the
sparks fell in a continuous shower upon the
neighboring roofs which fortunately, how
ever, were not intlammable
After half an hour or so the flames were
under control, and within an hour the bare
and tottering walls inclosed nothing but a
heap of slowly fading embers. The build
ing was the property of f. Eckstein.
Mr.. Eckstein values his building at about
$4,000, and has no insurance upon it,
The loss that Messrs. Long, Clements &
Drury sustains has not yet been correctly
ascertained. The sum will in all probability
not reach higher than $9, 900; on their stock
they have the following insurance, which
will entirely cover their losses:

Counterfeiters Arrested,

In the Newport column of the STAR yes
terday was given an account of the arrest of
a party of counterfeiters by United States
detectives. For several weeks they had
been on their track, and as soon as their
plans were consummated they made a de-
scent upon the haunts of these counterfeit
ers, and are now quite confident that they
have broken up the gang.
Their first victims were Dave Bard and
Edward Smith. Bard's headquarters had
been in low shanty east of Ludlow, where
he pretended to carry on the business of
broom-nlaking, while in reality he was coin
ing spurious half-dollars and quarters, but
Tuesday he moved his establishment to No.
247 York street, Newport, and it was at this
place that he and Smith were arrested yes
terday
Cassimer Loher and his daughter-in-law
Louisa Loher, who has been keeping sa
loon at No. 556 Central avenue, where she
Is said to have sold large amount of thi.
bogus money, were next arrested and lodged
in the County Jail.

The LATE KING OF ITALY's FAvoR1TEs.-
There was no civil marriage between
Rosina and the late King of Italy. Hence
she can have no claims whatever, since the
law does not recognize religious ceremonies;
and as Victor Emanuel made no will she
can only receive what the present King
may choose to give her, though she is said
to have amassed great many jewels, which
of course remain in her own possession.
She never was seen at any one of the
courts; the hatred and scorn felt for her by
the Royal family are thoroughly shared by
the nation. She is a byword of contempt
and detestation. To such strength do
these feelings rise that her son, young Mia
fori, is blacknlled in any club he tries to
enter, is insulted openly in the army, and
scarcely received in any society, though he
has married one of the barulenriched Lar
derels. London World

SHORT WALKING DREssEs.-It is of little
use for the public at large to anathematize
fashion, if the majority of women fail to see
or appreciate the efforts that are made to
unite fashion with good sense and good
taste. For some months past walking dresses
of length to clear the ground, or, at least,
not to require holding up, have been pressed
upon the attention of fashionable women,
who could at once relieve their entire sex
from burden which bears heavily upon
But many of these ride in carriages,
and, therefore, know nothing of the disa-
greeable consequences of dragging a weight
Of skirts upon the pavement. In France
the walking dress is universally adopted,
and is generally Of dark, soft woolen mate,
rial cut short enough to offer no obstacle to

A MANIA FOR SCIssoRING TH1NGs.-The
Jersey City Journal tells of lady in that
city who consulted her family physician
with reference to her daughter, a girl ten
years of age, who has mania of strange
character. The child's sole desire seems to
be to get possession of pair of scissors and
concealing them until a safe opportunity
offers to steal up stairs and cut into ribbons
every article of clothing upon which she
can lay her hands. In this way she has
during the past month destroyed articles tC
the value OF over hundred dollars. II
seems impossible to keep the scissors out Of
her reach.

A MADISON HoAx.-Consternati fell
upon the crowds in the hotel corridors soon
after midnight by a rlmor that dispatches
had come over the wires to the effect that
President Hayes had been shot by the
British Secretary of Legation; afterward,
that his own private secretary, Rogers, had
become suddenly insane and assaulted the
President with deadly result. The stations
all along the line were raped by Superin-
tendent Haskins and at 3 0 clock this morn
ing answer came from Chicago that the
rumor was true. Intense excitement pre-
vailed throughout the city in the morning
as soon as the news spread around, and the
newspaper and telegraph offices were be-
sieged by eager inquirers; at those points,
however, the story was believed to be a
hoax, and telegraphic investigation finally
proved it to be so. AS near as could be as
c9ertained. the story was started by some
lunatic of commercial drummer at Evans
ton, ILL.,, and from thence telegraphed over
the Northwestern States.

STEAM IN THE PINERIEs.-The snow hay
ing failed, steam is brought into use in the
Michigan pineries. The success which has
attended the construction of the Lake
George & Muskegon River Railroad, and
the absence of snow which renders hauling
logs by other methods imperative, has
awakened large operators to the necessity OF
constructing railroads, not only to reach
tracts of pine remote from streams, but to
guarantee stock of logs when nature fails
to provide the required snowfall to enable
them to carry on operations. Several of the
largest firms in Michigan are now building
cheap roads in order to reach their timber
and logs, which they are unable to reach by
the usual snow method.

The Loud Case.

John H. Loud, the alleged forger of notes
and bills amounting to over $4,000, was
brought into Court this morning, and his
case was continued until next Thursday,
bail $500.
He has retained 7. c. Campbell as Coun-
sci, and asserts his innocence of any GRIM
inal act, since, as he says he was simply
acting as an agent, with no knowledge of
the character of the work which Driver
was engaged in, but the detectives who have
been working up the case are confident
that Loud knew what he was doing when
he associated himself with Driver and
Mamie Lord.

The New York Hotel Gazette and Trav-
elers' Monitor, which is considered the lead
ing hotel and travellers paper, says of that
famous hotel, the Delavan, at Albany
"Messrs. Chas. E. Leland & Co. have in the
Delavan one of the finest and best of hotels.
All the notables and distinguished people
stop at the Delavan, and since the rates
have been reduced to So, So so and $4 per
day, We believe almost every person going
to Albany will soiourn at this house, as the
best accommodations can be had at prices
in accordance with the times"

The humor of the German comic papers
is notoriously dense. The best joke that
the Berlin Wasp can crack at the expense
of England is this: "How practical! Seeing
that he can do nothing, Disraeli asks at
home for the credit which he has lost in the
East" A cartoon in another journal rep
resents Gortschakoff as carrying off the baby
(Bessarabia), in spite of the outstretched
arms and piteous face of Roumania, who
murmurs, "Oh! our dear little Sissy! We
shall miss her son' Don't cry!" replies
the Chancellor; ''you will, perhaps, soon
meet all of you in my house"

Young GIRLs.-Our young girls do not
understand the witchery of bright eyes and
rosy hips, but set off their beauty by all the
artificial means which lie in their power,
never rejecting that by so doing they de-
stroy their principal charm-that of limo
cence. The rounded checks, the bright
eyes, the waving hair Of the girl in her

"What could do? Twas famishing, and
had wife and children with nothing to

recovering consciousness after an attempt
to drown himself Now, this same Mr.
Schmitt would doubtless have knocked
down the man who had dared to say to him
on the eve of his marriage, "Schmitt, O
Schmtt, don'tr' In fact, Mr.. Schmitt
would have been so indignant that he
would not only have plunged into matri-
mony, but he would have gone and bought
$50 dog to assist him in eating his way to
the poor-house.

We still insist that Fannie Davenport's
nose is just as good as anybody's. And if
it were not, what of it? Did she ever talk
through it? And is it necessary to have a
nose in order to carry pocket-handkerchief?
Why these repeated reflections on Miss
Davenport's nose? 1t is not an organ, and
the public ought to be content to let it
alone. Whatever may be said of this lady's
false hair we do insist that her countenance
shall be treated with respect.

TIE SPIRIT OF JOHN .CALVIM.
N. Y. Tablet. June rs


That spirit is not yet dead. Brother
John is stiil tearing away reDorselessly
at the garment his father left. The Pres
byteridR last week supplies us with q mar
ration of the doings Of q late General
Assembly of Presby yterians that certainly
afford much food for reflection. Here are
men of the latter days, under the guidance
of the spirit of the age, flinging from them
dogmas as oarelessly az they would q
worn out ehoe---dogmas that their ances-
tors would have died to defend, that they
were raised tor believe, and that most OF
them have been teaching and exponnding
for the length of lifetime. Even the
Churchman can laugh at them:
"The movement against the 'descent into
help clause of the Apostles Greed developed
an unexpected strength. It is very rarely
indeed that the hrst presses tation and dis
cuseion Of an important question reveal
such force against an old error in sach q
conservative body as the General Assem-
bly,. The Committee on Bills aud Over
tures reported against the Philadelphia
request to strike out tue offensive clause

his committee and favoring the expunging
measure. 1 hare heard it said that phen

tenth of the assembly iosre in facer of it.
Bot as the discussion proceeded the favor.
able feeling rose; and on the summary
motion, after three speeches had been
made, to postpone. the body was almost
equally divided. o. cuurse this is No final
defeat of the movement. The end ofit is
not yet"
