Destructive Fires at Rochester, N. HI.
Some persons have been amusing themselves
of late, in setting fires to different buildings in
Rochester. On Wednesday morning at about
2 oclock fire was discovered in the store owned
and occupied by G. K. Chase & Son as a dry
goods store, and before the engines arrived it
had made such Roadway that nothing of the
stock could be saved. The loss on building
and stock was about $4,000. Insured $4,000
on the stock and $15OO on building in the fo.-
lowing companies: $1,000 in the Royal of
Liverpool, $1,000 in the Pennsylvania Fire In
surance Co., 81 900 in the Philadelphia Fire
Association and $500 in several other COM
panies. 1t was undoubtedly the work of an
incendiary as there had been no fire in the
store for some time and on Tuesday evening
the store was closed at dark. Again on Thurs
day night at about IL o'clock, flames were dis
covered in two livery stables owned the one
by Mr.. John Wentworth, the other by Mr..
Silas 81. Wentworth and situated near the
Mansion House. The horses and nearly every
thing in both stables were saved. j. Went

BALTIMORE, June 11.-Thomas Winans,
whose death was announced from Newport,
r. l., yesterday, has been for years one of the
most prominent and well known citizens of
Baltimore, both on account of his immense
wealth and rare inventive and mechanical
genius. He has always lived quietly and
unostentatously, but his magnificent resi-
dence on West Baltimore street has served
by its size alone as a sort of unintentional
advertisement OF the man himself. His
career, however, which was always marked
with great industry, has served i'll much
larger sense to make his name familiar. He
was the eldest son of Ross Winans, and was
born in Baltimore in 1920. He inherited in
large degree the mechanical genius of his
father, by whom he was trained as prac-
tiCal machinist. When still young man
he went as mechanic to Russia, where he
secured important contracts from the Car
for the construction of locomotives.
While there Mr.. Winans amassed large
fortune, and, returning to Baltimore, pur-
chased lot of ground composing nearly a
whole square, where he built a residence
after his own design, and laid out and deco
rated the grounds with great care and ex-
pense After his return to the United
States he did not engage in active business,
but busted himself with inventions and i'm
proyements in machinery. The subject of
ventilation occupied a considerable portion
of his thoughts, and some experiments with
a cigar-shaped steamboat and the celebrated
steam gun are well known throughout the
country. He was constantly engaged in ex-
periments, keeping large number of men
constantly employed. He was man of re-
fined tastes and lover of art and literature,
and the walls of his mansion are adorned
with many valuable paintings, and his
grounds are filed with magnificent works
of art His charity was extensive. He pur-
chased chapel that stood opposite his resi-
dence, furnished it with all necessary ap-
purtenances, and gave abundantly every
day to the poor. The chapel became known
as Winans' soup-house, name it retained
until torn down a few years after. His
health has been impaired ever since the
death of his wife, to whom he was strongly
attached, which occurred several years ago.
Ex-Mayor Latrobe who has for some
years been on intimate terms with Mr..
Winans, left here last evening for Newport
to make arrangements for the funeral.

Forty Thousand People Bury Him

New York, June 1.-THE New Castle
Chronicle gives the particulars of the death
of VIM. Campbell, landlord of the Duke of
Wellington, public house at High Bridge,
New Castle, and widely known as the Scot
tish Giant, who died at that establishment
May 26th.
The deceased was twenty-five years of age,
having been born in Glasgow April, 1856. 1t
was quite problem with the good people
of New Castle how to bury their giant. He
weighed seven hundred and twenty-eight
pounds, and was six feet three and a-half
inches high For giant he lived in some
what circumscribed quarters, and at first it
was thought it would be necessary to re-
move the roof to get him in his coffin.
Finally window was enlarged, and that
difficulty was solved, How to get it and the
dead giant out was the next problem. The
two weighed a tom At last a derrick was
procured and they were hoisted out. A
thousand persons witnessed the funeral,
and the crowding scene at the grave was
disgraceful.
