The FIRES LAST EvgyISG AT five
minutes TO o'clock last evening an alarm
was turned In at Station 81, corner Four
teentb and Main streets, fire having been
discovered on the third floor Of the exten.
siye tobacco factory situated on the north
west corner OF Fifteenth and Cary streets,
occupied by Prescott & Osgood, or George
=. Prescott. The policeman who turned
IN the alarm reports that when he first dis
covered the fire 1t appeared TO be In the ex-
treme northern portion OF tue building.
The firemen, after the lapse OF about H..
teen minutes, placed two ladders on the
eastern wall OF the building and then car
ried I'D their streams TO where the fire was
burning, ard soon thereafter had the fire nB-
der control. Two streams had been put
upon the building from the street prior TO
the arrival OF the ladders. There had been
no alarm before last evening since June
18th. and the iremen may have been little
rusty from that cause. However. they put
out the fire without very serious loss to
either building orstock, the damage to the
former from fire and water being about
800, and 10 the stock and fixtures about
$780, Both were insured. Ladderman
Sheppard was overcome by intense heat
In the building, and had 10 be taken out OF
the factory. Fortunately there was not q
large stock Of tobacco on hand.
At five minutes 10 10 O'clock last night IN
alarm was sounded from Station 4, Third
police district headquarters, and was caused
by The partial burning OF framed house in
rear OF No. 80 west Broad street, on the
extension Of Ramcat alley, between Smith
and Henry streets. occupied by cOlOrcd
washerwOman, and owned by John Brown.
The washcrwOman lost much OF her weeks
washing, and upon her the loss falls heavily.
Loss to building and contents, $500. No
insurance.
The fire originated from the explosion Of
a kerosene-Oil lamp.

The Mail Service Excited.
A RUMORED DEFALCATION WHICH DID NOT
AMOUNT TO MUCH.
IWa.hineton Tost. yes,erlay.l

IWashinetOn Post. yeSterdayJ
Some excitement has been caused during
the past few day among the members OF the
Railway Mail-SerVice Benevolent Associa-
ton by rumOrs OF the defalcatiOn OF the
treasurer, Mr.. w. W. James. The reports
were much exaggerated, and an inyestiga-
ton has shown that there was only about
e, 800 to the credit Of the AssOca-
ton. This was the amount OF the
last assessment, which was made on the re-
cent death Of a member. Judge Dunn, the
president of the Association, came on from
St. Louis last evening and examined the
affairs Of the Association. 1t was found
that the amount in the bank was intact with
the exception OF small sum, which Mr..
James had used TO meet sudden emergency
in bis private affairs. This amount was
promptly made up by the friends OF Mr..
James, and the money due TO the benetcia-
rics has been paid. The officers OF the AS
sociation do not attach any dishonesty to
Mr.. James, but believe that he used the
money with the intention OF replacing it at
once. They have the fullest confidence in
his integrity, and have eyinced it by retain
ing him in his place.

STOrK's POPULAR AND SELECT SUMNER
TOrrs are deseryedly popular because they
are not oyerrated nor exaggerated. They

cial or excursion trains used. They take
YOU TO the coolest and most desirable sea-
side and mountain resorts known. One
great feature OF these tours Is the pleasure
OF the jOurncy--in the great variety Of
travel By sea, sound, aud rhl-no long, te-
dious liies IN any one conveyance; no
transfers 10y back or omnibus not exposed
TO rain or sun the entire tiip. The marvel
ous cheapness OF the Grand tour to tne
islands of the Atllnlic-Ncwport. Martha' :
VINEYARD, and Nantuckct-oyer 1900 miles,
is surprising; combines more health, plea
sure, economy, and education than any other
series Of tours that we know OF. All VINO
have tlied Stork's tours are delighted with
them. Send to Mr. A. W. CARRIER, $40 Main
