capped. One of the buildings destroyed
was recently erected at a cost of S45. 900.
The structure was three stories high, 320
feet deep by so wide. The other building
destroyed was 320x30. The entire loss is
estimated at 100000, of which $4,000 is
on stock.
The extensive mandatory of the Lock-
stitch Wire-fence Company, at Joliet, was
partially destroyed by fire recently. The
fire originated in the dip-room, the naptha
being ignited by a spark from safety
lamp carried by an officer of the company.
The fire spread so rapidly that the work
men had difficulty in escaping, some los
ing their clothing. The loss is estimated
at 81 900 on stock and building, and is
fully covered by insurance.
The packing house and ard.rendering
establishment of Lose & Bros, at Kansas
City, was burned The fire was caused by
Jacob Harkin, a butcher, throwing a
lighted match which he had used to light
his pipe, into vat of lard. The building
was entirely Quilted, and the contents, in
Guiding a large amount Of lard, hams and
other meat, and 900 hogs, slaughtered and
hanging in the coOling-room, destroyed.
The loss is estimated at $4,000; insured
for about 100000 in some twenty compa-

A HORRIBLE tragedy occurred in Caro-
line county, Va, by which husband I'M
Intentionally caused the terrible death of
his beautiful young wife, whom he idol
lied, and to whom he had been welded
but nine months. Mr.. William Wright
was cutting down some trees in the grove
in front of his house, and his wife came
out to bring him some lunch, her face
beaming with smiles. He was telling an
enormous tree, and called to her: Ny
darling. don't come too near that tree"
The words had scarcely left his lips before
the tree fell, ard, coming down with a
crash, caught the unfortunate young wife
aud crushed her to the earth.

An Immense Hammer

The largest steam-hammer in the
United States has gone into operation
at Pittsburg. 1t weighs seventeen tons,
while the anvil-block under it weighs
160 tons. With a full head of steam it
will strike blow of ninety tons. but,
as this tremendous weight is not al
ways necessary III hammering, it can
be made to strike as light as desired. 1t
has thirty-eight-inch cylinder and
nine-foot stroke. The ponderous blows
make the earth quake for radius of
200 yards. The big hammer is for
forging steamboat shafts and other
heavy work.

FEARS are expressed that the illness
OF one or more of the Jurors in the Gui-
teau case will necessitate the suspen-
sion OF the trial, as several of them are
suffering from disorder of the stomach
caused by higher living than they have
been accustomed to, together with an
insufficient amount of exercise. Worm
ley, the colored juror, is threatened
with eryesipelas and gastritis, and in
the event of his disability the trial
would have to be suspended, as SEQ.
vile declares his unwillingness to pro
ceed with eleven jurors, believing that
a postponement of the case would be
to the advantage to his client in giving
more time for popular animosity to die
out. This week the experts are to bt
heard from, and it is now believed tha
not one among them will testify tina

The DRAUGHT HoRsE.-A writer re-
marks that there has been a very
marked change in the popular idea of
the draught horse for use in this coun-
try. A few years ago great size was
consid cred the one thing needful in a
draught horse. They were not exactly
bought and sold by the pound, like
swine, but the weight of the horse was
one of the first questions asked; quality
was lost sight of. This rage Of size led
to the importation of many miserable
brutes, and to the perpetuation of many
glaring defects in conformation, and to
the transmission of much hereditary
unsoundness. But, thanks to the iudg
ment of discriminating buyers, the
public have come to understand that
it takes something besides flesh and
bone to make good horse. Quality,
action, endurance and temperament
are now closely scrutinized by all breed
ers of intelligence, as well as by the
buyers of horses for the great markets;
and the importer of a breeder who now
neglects these essentials in his selec-
tions must go into some other business.
