DeadwoOd Destroyed.

On the Goth, fire broke out in Deadwood,
the Black Hills metropolis, and spread with
such wonderful rapidity that in short space
of time over two hundred buildings were
destroyed and about two thousand people
rendered homeless. The buildings being
mostly of wood, flashed up like finder, hun
dreds of the occupants escaping with only
their night clothes. The hook and ladder
apparatus and hose carriage were among the
first things destroyed and the new water
works were Ineffective, owing to a scarcity
of water. 1t is utterly impossible to get
any definite figures regarding the loss; well
posted business men place it at from one

The city of Providence began, year

a new plan. Helpless paupers were kept
in an almshouaes or aided at home, as
before; but all able-bodied applicants
for food or lodging were put at work in
a woodward at so cents day. Unworthy
families, who had been assisted by the
city for years, dropped out OF the charity
commissioners sight, while begging de-
creased greatly. Tramps began to give
the city a wide berth, for they had to
pay for their lodgings and meals with
work in the woodward, and the station
house dodgers during the year numbered
only 2,47e, against e,425 for the year
preceding. The new system has also
been one of economy, the expenditures

The report of the inspector general of
British military prisons directs attention
to the low type of intellect exhibited by
many of the prisoners, who seem to be
scarcely responsible agents. The number
of men imprisoned for military ofenses
amounted last year to three strong bat
talions. Taking the record of one hun
dred men lately in penal-servitude
prison, it was found that their service in
the army averaged three years six
months and six days, of which they had
passed five months three days, or about
one-eighth of the whole period, in prison.

A Slight Accident.

LOCOMOTIVE RUNS INTO CAR AND
BREAKS HER CYLINDER.
The first accident that has occurred on
the Delaware h. r.. since the peach sea-
son opened, happened this morning, at
State Road Station, the first station be-
low New Castle.
The accident was unavoidable, and the
COM equences were slight. 1t appears
that number of cars were standing on
the siding at the station alluded to above,
some of which were loaded with lime,
and it is thought that the persons en-
gagged iu unloading the cars either push
Ell one of them further up the siding. or
else the high wind that prevailed during
the storm this morning blew the car too
near the main track.
Locomotive No. 27, with an empty RI
ding car, was proceeding down the road
at good rate of speed, and the locOmo-
tive struck the empty car and broke her
cylinder, hut doing no other damage.
Word of the accident was immediately
telegraphed to the Office in this city, and
the damaged engine was drawn to New
Castle, by one OF the engines of an
''empty" that followed the extra" The
delay was very slight Considering the
number of trai MS on the Delaware road.
aud further that there is only single
track, and that this is the first accident
since the peach season, reflects great
credit upon the management and sagaci-
ty of Mr.. 1. N. Mills. the General Mana
ger, and Mr.. e. p. Wise, the competent
dispatcher Of trains.

on the part of Green and he charged the
prisoner with being too intimate with

A TALK AB UT TAKING THE FINN1
1t 10 remarkable fact, that during tue
past yexr 0r two NO dsh, Of any account
have been caught In the Bsandywi1e
with great SUCCESS, excepting catnsl,
when the water is muddy. Tho creek
just below Market street bridge has been
much freQuented Of late years By rock
fish, who would congregate here on 10
count Of the food coming from the aout
mills. With theSe two exceptions, and
the bass in the waters further up, fishing
In the Brandy ywtne has not been worth
the casting of Q line.
Catfish has, at certain seasons during
the past year, been better than for .
long time previous. Once or twice aftsr
heavy rain, large schools OF them have
ascended the creek and they have been
caught in large numbers. An old fisher
man, who makes daily practice Of sit
ting ON the Brandywine railroad bridge
fishing, and who has done 30 for year.,
told the writer day or two ago that on
one or two occasiOns larger catfish had
been caught here thaa At any time within
the last decade. fD-
The rock nsh that como up and feed
near the mllls, afford most excellent
sport at times. This fish is strong and
gamey, and the sport Of landing him,
Wien boCurtu ny 'tu0 buarpuoo8 Ot b00
hook" is very exciting. But somehow
they have gotten very scarce and those
that still come up are quite shy. Per
sons have beeu known " set their lines
with q tempting bait in the evening, ard
on looking in the morning would b. a.
most sure TO find "rockey." The Wa
ter just where the br1dge spans the creek
il very shallow aud year or two ago II
was not an unusual thing to nee monster
specimens Of these fish, despoi ting them
selves among the rocks. Now 1t Is Z
rare sight. When they were plenty
sportsmen used to shoot them from the
bridge with rifles, and rock fish, weigh
ing thirty andforty pounds have been
taken in that way. But this sport has
passed away, probably owing to the fact
that the warfare upon the fish Was car
ried on too persistently. 1t is to be re-
| Rretted that such Is the case.
Fishing is often carried on with net
in the Brandywine, but It is not attend
