PHILADELPHIA, June 13.-The fire
which started day before yesterday in
the Atlantic Oil Coinpany's warehouse
from a stroke of lightning broke out
afresh to-day on account of one of the
burning vessels capsizing and pouring
all OF its burning water into the Schuy-
XIII. The strong westerly breeze blew
the flames to the wharf OF the Atlantic
Petroleum Storage Company and the fire
at once spread to the large.shed .immedi-
atey south of the warehouse which was
destroyed on Wednesday. The wind
then veered to the, north and the long
line of sheds extending for nearly mile
to the southwark caught fire and by noon
all were ablaze, with the 1000 barrels
OF Oil which they contained, At 1.I5 ID.
IN. the fire reached the Empire shed !,
where it burned 10000 empty barrels.
The fire of course will not be entirely
extinguished for several days, but every
thing destructive within reach of the
flames has practically been destroyed.

Close Of the Shad Season.

The season for the sale of shad correc-
tly speaking closed on Tuesday last, the

in the market up to the present time L he
season must close to-day, as the State
law prohibits the spreading of seine in
Delaware river for the catching of shad
after the 18th inst. The shad season vas
a remunerative one, owing to the fact
that for some time after the season COM
menced, that the weather remained so
cold and stormy that the shad did not

through that State, en- route for Kansas, they
were rudely assailed by crowd of roughs
with iecrs and abusive shouts. The Prosi-

present, retired within. Gen. Sherman then
appeared, and being called on for a speech,
said
"Boys, l am Gen. Sherman. My home is

your State. This is glorious State, rich in
everything that goes to make communities
happy and prosperous but / tell you that, as
sure as there is n God in heaven, the day will
come and ere long, too, when Missouri will
be peopled by ladies and gentlemen, who will
not insult the President of the United States
when he comes within your borders. (Cries
of good, good; right, right.') | know
your State and have Travelled across it in every
conceivable direction and l tell you that your
children will be the richest in these United
States. (Cries of Hayes, Hayes we want
to see Hayes.") The President came out to
see you, and he will hardly care to come
again after the treatment he received. You
must not insult the President of the United
States and you must not insult me- for, if
you do, so help me God, I'll fight. (Cries of
You bet. 1--WE know you'll fght") If you
will promise to be respectful l will see the
President and think he will come out to see
you again. (Cries of Three cheers for Gen.
Sherman.") Never mind boys, cheering for
me just treat the President respectfully
when he comes out and you'll please me
best"
The President came out, was cheered, and
made a speech. On the return of the party
the people of Hannibal removed the stigma

A year ago, when Dean Stanley was in this
country the guest of Cyrus w. Field of New
York, he visited the spot in Tappan, N. Y,
about five miles back from the west bank of
the Hudson river, where Major Andre, the ac-
complished young British officer, was hanged
as a spy during the Revolution, and expressed
surprise that the place had nothing TO mark
it. Mr.. Field at once said he would cause n
suitable monument to be placed there, and in
pursuance of this promise a shaft of Maine
granite was erected last Thursday on the very
spot where, % years that day, the galows
stood on which Andre was hanged The
monument bears this inscription;
Here died October >, 1850, Mai. John An
DIRE of the British army; who, entering the
American lines on q secret mission to Bene-
diet Arnold for the surrender of West Point,
was taken prisoner, tried and condemned as n
spy. His death, though according to the
stern code of war, moved even his enemies to
pity. and both armies mourned the fate of
one so young and so brave. In 1921 his re-
mains were removed to Westminster Abbey.
A hundred years after his execution this stone
was placed above the spot where he lay, by a
citizen of the States against which he fought,
not to perpetuate the record of strife. but in
token of those better feelings which have
since united two nations one in race. in Ian
guage and religion. with the earnest hope
that this friendly union will never be broken.

LIFE HELD CHEAP IN kENTUCKY.-A Gin
cinnati paper publishes an interesting batch
of statistics bearing upon the homicidal ten
denotes of the people of Kentucky. 1t rep
resents the work of special correspondent
for three months among the records Of 20
counties, taken at random, and the results
are certainly startling. In these counties the
records of indictments alone show III homi-
cides in five years, or an average of 3G to
each county. Against this appalling show
ing there is the offset on the side of the laws
yindication of only one capital punishment
and three life terms in the penitentlary
while about dozen convicted murderers
were let of with sentences of from three TO
five years each in jail. In few cases, where
the offender was negro, summary justice
was meted out with a rope, without waiting
the course of the law. Even these figures do
not cover all the crimes of murder and mali
cious shooting or stabbing in these counties,
as the work of the correspondent was con-
fined to court records, and many criminals
were never brought into court. The record
shows the present status of crime III Ken
lucky, and the same ratio carried through the
State would show 36GS murders, homicides
and murderous assaults in five years. The
notorious Breathitt county shows the worst
record, where 500 persons out of a total vot-
ing population of 1900 are under indictment
for crime in Clay county, $50 out of 1000
in Jackson county, l54 out of 799. len
counties with voting population of i, 5s4,
have 2S4G persons under indictment at a SID
gle term, or over "a per cent. Yet there
have been but two hangings in Kentucky IN
ten years.
