On Monday evening the steamer John
A. Dix was discovered to be on fire while
lying near her dock in Milwaukee,. Be
fore the engines were brought into po-
sition, the flames had made such head
way that all efforts to save the steamer
seemed hopeless. The fire on the out
side was soon subdued but the hold
could not be reached by the firemen. The
sea cocks We're turned on, a hole was
chopped through the deck and the
steamer was soon filed with water.
There is 10 certain knowledge as to how
the fire originated. A lamp bad ex-
ploded but the flames had been quickly
extiuguished but the general belief is
that spark escaped observation aud set
fire to the combustible material compos-
ing the cargo. Had the steamer not
been delayed on this evening beyond the
usual time of her departure, she would
have been at distance in the lake when
the fire broke out, and no doubt there
would have been loss of life. 1t is es-
timated that she has sustained loss
amounting to $1,000. The cargo is al
most total loss. The Dix will be raised
and repaired Immediately.

was one machine like trip hammer; it ham,
mered the pegs into the soles, and hammered
dayllghts out of everything it went at. Then
there were three or four other shoemaking ma
chimes, all driven by steam, and trying to see
which could make the most noise. And the
shoemakers themselves-of which there were
fifteen or twenty-were running by steam
like the sailors, and wore sailor caps
with white bands around them like
sailors too-or Turks. They were
either shoemakers, sailors, or some other coun-
trymen. At any rate they turned out the boots
and shoes like magic. Piles upon piles, they
stacked them up all the week, not only by the
hundred pairs, but by the thousands. Off in
establishment Auerbach, Finch, Culbertson
& Co., were operating one branch of their en-
terprise. lot of sewing machines were hum
ming away to the tune of busy lines, run by
steam, and managed by a bevy Of young ladies.
Steam threshlng machines have become an
every day occurrence, but steam sewing ma
chimes are not as common, consequently, these
attracted great attention-or nore likely,
the young ladies that engineered them.
Many young man would stop and wish in
his heart he had one Of them-not the machine
but one of the beautiful harps with Thousand
strings-to take with him out West on his new
farm. We might go and speak of the
hydraulic engines that were driven by steam,
and the larger engine put up by the st. Paul
Foundry Manufacturing company that fur
nished the power for driving all the machinery
Taken together, this department presented a
fair representation of the leading manufacture
ing industries of st. Paul. The heavy iron
machinery houses were likewise we'll repre-
sented. Its floor area is 5000 square feet, and
the goods manufactured there during the week
amountd to several thousand dollars in value.

OTHER MArTEIss.
The Presidential Visit.

OF course State fair without a live
President of the United Statas would be a
failure, and hence, as this one was to be sue
cess the management proceeded to obtain
Rutherford. The enterprise of George Finch,
president Of the State Fair association, knew
no bounds. and the greater the contract the
greater energy and skill he displayed. When
he made his movement Hayes surrendered
at discretion and came. He reached st. Paul
early Thursday morning and breakfasted
with Senator Ramsey. The city had put on
her holiday attire, and Third street especially
made gorgeous display. One of the largest
professions ever seen in the city escorted the
Presidential party to the special fair train at
II A. NJ. Thursday, but there was strange lack
of enthusiasm everywhere. What little en-
thusiasm there was seemed to be for Mrs. HAYES
rather than Rutherford. Having furnished the
papers with advance printed copies of his
speech, he proceeded to deliver altogether an
other document, and the GLOBE, with character
istic enterprise published both speeches.
After trip to Fargo on the Northern Pacific
the President returned to st. Paul, and like
the truly good' attended divine service twi ce
yesterday, as elsewhere recorded. The troupe
leave this morning at 10 o'clock to fill an en-
gagement at the Wisconsin fair at Madison,
whese they will begin to show tomorrow.

lied the appointment of as many special police
as the mayor and chief of police should deem
necessary to preserve order. Thirty-nine extra
men were appointed under such authority and
duly invested with the emblems of authority.
With the thirty men who compose the
regular police force they were enabled to pre-
serve the best of order. Fourteen specials and
three regulars were assigned to the fair grounds
under command of Sergeant WEIGH. They did
good service in preventing disturbance, remov-
ing those who had become overcome by the
heat or the whisky from the grounds,
and nabbing the few .pickpockets who
rich harvest. The cases of drunkenness and
disorderly conduct were but few, fortunately,
and no attempt was made to bring such sim
ners to the city lookup. They were simply
placed where they could infict no annoyance
upon the attendants upon the fair-cast out
OF the gates of the fair. About half dozen
men We're arrested on suspicion of being en-
gagged In unlawful practices, but no proof
being found against them they were released.
Half dozen others were arrested, and evil
dences of the crooked craft being found upon
them they were held to await trial. The total
arrests at the fair grounds numbered fifteen.
In looking after the pickpockets detective
Bresett did some efficient work.
In the city the chief duty imposed upon the
police was to watch the outgoing and incoming
trains to see that none of the visitors were vic
timized. To prevent pocket-picking was an
impossibility, and even force five times the
number on duty could not have accomplished
that result. But whatever was possible was
done. Quite number of professionals were
detected by Capt. Clark, Detective Bresett
and their aids and promptly shipped off to
other fields. Several were caught in the act of
ralS1ng feathers and consigned to the cooler.
Altogether about forty-ive prisoners were
booked at the police station during the week,
all but about dozen for petty offenses.
Although the police regulations were excel
lent, and too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon Chief Weber and his efficient assistants,
Capt. Clark, Sergeant WEIGH and Detective
Bresett. Few disturbances occurred, there
were no robberies, and considering the crowd
the instances of pocket-pcking were very
few.

Hardware Hall

All the available space was occupied in this
building, and more would have been but for a
lack Of capacity. The floor surface is $500
square feet and it was literally covered with
magnificent displays of hardware goods. The
exhibits were not large with one or two excep-
tions, but they we're select and highly attractive
There were two displays of stoves that ELECTED
many compliments. In cutlery and similar
hardware goods the showing was very good. Of
course all who went through one building went
through them all consequently. Hardware

packed to it's utmost even when
some of the larger buildings were
not as full The exhibits were handsomely
arranged, and the various articles should to

wife looked with longing eyes upon some of
those elegant stoves and turned away and wept
she had not the money. In one of the spaces
stood a cook-stove solitary and alone. It was
hay burner and the proprietor said it needed
no one to tell its story it spoke for itself. Ten
pounds of pressed hay would feed it for half
day and furnish heat enough for all ordinary
purposes. The hay press was by its side and
the two together looked practical and will
without doubt do all that is claimed for them.

The Kennel Club Building.

From the day of its opening the dog show

entries numbered 300 and the paid admissions
on Thursday numbered about 5000. Price of

been known, but better blooded dogs were

Railroad Agricultural Building.

A description of the exhibits in this building
would be simply repetition of those described
above. Its size is the same and the products
1t contains are alike. The railroad companies
made more showing displays. or
IN other words, their exhibits
building was devoted almost exclusively to the
displays of three great railroad companies the
Northern Pacific, st. Paul & Sioux City and
the st. Paul & Duluth. These products were
grown along the lines of their roads and ftly
represent the wonderful fertility of the soil in
those regions. To say they were all good would
not express it, they were more than man ever
saw before in any country. Wheat yielding
eighty bushels per acre and weighing sixty-siS
pounds to the bushel, and other products al
most equally as good OF course, the eighty
bushel yield will be denied, but we have the
proof, and that is stronger than holy writ.

Floral Hall.

To the ladies, and many gentlemen,
this building was a great attraction. In the
department were represented much of the more
delicate fora of Minnesota, and the arrange
ment of the displays were at once unique and
captivating. Long rows of the most beautiful
flowers, variegated and profuse caught the eye
and riveted the attention. Fruit of almost
every variety known to this latitude greeted the
throng, on every hand rich and golden grains
and grasses, laurel wreaths and rare exotics
were arranged in all their native glory. Of
Minnesota apples alone there were 1000 plates,
large catalogue Of grapes, Minnesota peaches
and other native fruits. Truly Mime
sofa is a fruit State, and her flowers
and grains and grasses unrivaled. To the
florists and fruit growers and to the manag-
ers of the hall we are indebted for the attract
i've displays that graced Floral hall and elicit
ed well-merited compliments from thousands
1t would be superfluous to attempt detailed
sketch of all the exhibits that shed their radi-
ance in this hall. Area of floor $500 square
feet.

Mercantile Building.

The ground floor of this building embraces
an area OF 1880 square feet and all fair week
it was densely packed with costly goods, repre-
senting principally the mercantile and manu-
featuring interests OF st. Paul and the STATE.
The displays in dry goods, clothing, fancy dress
goods, jewelry and china ware with ANTIQUE de-
signs, were especially fine. In the ladies' de-
partment of the annex were to be seen a grand
catalogue of fabrics, the work of delicate
hands and busy brains. Much Of the needle
work In this branch of the great fair was emf
nently worthy of more than passing notice:
1T should have place in history, and the fair
record on the scroll of honor.
Ingenious crotchet work, costly laces,
charming lambrequins log-cabn quilts older
than five generations heir looms that had come
down from the days of the Pilgrim fathers of
John Knox and Martin Luther, beautiful wor-
sted slippers wrought with needle and inter
woven with silk and satin and gold thread be-
spangied with glittering pearls, tides Of
most intricate workmanship, and, in fact, a.
thousand articles enough if given in detail,
with each its little history appended, to fill a
volume. From early morning until the sun had
disappeared Wednesday and Thursday, this
building was densely thronged with an eager
and intensely interested multitude Every
foot of available space was occupied, and as
the people
Wiggled in and wiggled out,
1t left them still in doubt,
As to whether they were going in or coming out.
In the southern annex, where were estab-
lished the president and secretarys offices, a
whirl of business revolved all the week. The
gread head center was there and from there
radiated the spirit that moved the diurnal ma
chine and kept the clock-work in order. Who
ever thinks it a small matter to manage for one
week great enterprise as this has been,
let him shoulder the responsibility and go
through the ordeal. An ordinary business head
would come out thinner than shingle To
give careful and detailed description of the
various exhibits and the business done in this
great building during the past week would re-
quire more than the space of the largest news
paper in the land.

The Poultry Display.

This building was thronged with all manner
and descriptions of domestic fowls, and some
that were not domesticated for there were
eagles, wild geese, owls, heron, crane, swan,
and other wild fowl of both land and water.
The domestic birds were many Of them,
remarkably fine, and they were visited by

capacity to hold more than two-thirds of the
birds that were at the show. SO they were
cooped around on the outside. Conspicuous
among the lot were the great cochin chinas
the shanghais, great brahmas, and other large
birds. Then the little bantams strutted around
if they we're as large as the best Of them;
carrier pigeons, turtle doves, notified birds,
and birds of almost every kind.

household products the showing was quite
large. Cheese butter, eggs, honey, preserves,
pickles. jellies, and hundreds of other articles
were largely exhibited, and every one apparently
coming one of the great industries
of the State, and the fine dis
play of those articles at the fair must
certainly convince the most skeptical that Min
nesota enjoys dairy advantages that few States
possess. The butter market has had depressing
influences on the manufacturer the past season,
but that does not detract from the merits of
the dairy advantages of the country, neither is
it any criterion of future prices.

and cities and dot these boundless prairies
with human habitations. Judging the future
by the past. where will the next three decades

we will hurry on with that department. In this
building were four or five large exhibits all
alike commendable and each complete
