it. This lot fronts on Ferguson street.

the rear of st. Marks church and has
a frontage Of 60 feet, being the south
half Of lots l and 2 In block 329. The
consideration is 8 1000 for the lot and
building.
Mr.. Keefe intends to remove the
frame chapel at once to the lot desig-
mated above. He also has the con
tract for building the stone foundation
for the new church building, which will
be build on the present site. The con-
tract for the remainder of the building

fire yesterday about noon, and the fire
bell took up the signal. The various

out in the loft above the engine, pro

THE TWEED RING RIVALLED.

A careful Investigation into the af-
fairs of the Philadelphia tax Office has
developed systemized course of rob-
berry which has been practiced for some
years. Rumors of such stealage were
current several years ago, and doubtless
large percentage of the $4,000, 900
collected annually has gone rnlawfully
into the. pockets of thieves. The steal
ing has been effected by combinations of
the clerks in the tax Office and con-
troller's Office, so that the auditing clerk
would approve the figures given by the
tax receiving clerk and certify to the
correctness of the account. The delin-
quent tax collectors were also "fxed {"
so that the fraudulent bookkeeping in
the Office should not be discovered. An
other way Of stealing was q compare
lively easy one. A citizens property
would be assessed at reduction of say
$4,000, through decline Of values. The
tax notice would be made out by mis-
take, calling for the payment on $4,000
instead of $4,000. The clerk would then
receipt for $4,000, and return to the
city treasury the tax on $4,000, pocket
ing the difference. All these tricks are
possible where the clerks are without
supervision and in collusion.

FOREST CULTIVATION.

LIE idplu W1SCe OI our STeAC IOreSCS
before the woodlands axe, in the effort
to satisfy the Increasing demands of
mankind for building material, fuel,
pavements, etc., has of late years been
the subject of considerable discussion.
Scientists have proven that the seasons
of protracted drouth experienced in Sec
tions Of country where such state OF
things had been unknown, are due
entirely to the denudation of the land of
it's forest trees. Certain streams in the
far west which have been OF valuable
service during the summer months as
drive-ways for logs and for water-powers
have gradually dwindled after the spring
freshet until in midsummer they are
almost worthless for commercial pur-
poses. As every effect must have its
cause, careful inv estigation was made,
and again the woodman's axe was found
to be at fault. The forests on the sur
rounding mountains, which had held
the snow for months under the shade Of
their branches and allowed the melting
process to proceed slowly, have been
dissipated, and now the snowy mantle
wastes rapidly under the balmy atmos-
phere of spring and the supply of water
is soon gone.
With conmendable and philanthropic
enterprise the Legislatures of several
states in the Union have enacted laws re-
ieving the husbandmen of a certain
amount of taxes for every forest tree
planted, and Sc ''arbor day" or tree plant
ing day has become fixed institution in
some of our great commonwealths. The
latest scheme Of the kind has developed
in Massachusetts, where an association
has been formed and tract of about
four thousand acres secured near Boston
for the cultivation of forest trees. The
association also hopes to obtain from the
Legislature of the state a law establishing
a Board of Forestry to superintend the
protection and restoration of forests
throughout the commonwealth. The
mostimportant provision of the proposed
enactment is that in relation to acquir-
ing forest lands as public domain.
Wherever there is tract of not less
than five hundred acres, covered with
wood, or more suitable for the cul-
tivation of trees than for anything else,
the town, or towns, in which it is located
may by major vote set it apart for that
purpose. The title vests in the state for
the benefit Of the town, which is to pay
the several owners of the soil therefor
the amount at which the same was last
appraised by the assessors. If any owner
is unwilling to accept that valu alton fol-
his land, he may apply to the supreme
court, and have it's value assessed by 8
jury. Such efforts as the above are truly
commendable and the promoters Thereof
will come in for large share of thanks
from generations to come.

Terrible ConflaRratiOn at Minne-

and spread rapidly to the three mills on the
west side of the river, also operated by Pills
bury & Co., and the intervening mill of Crocker,
Fisk 4 Co. The alarm had been turned in from
the Washburn ga" mill, and the fremen were
rendering heroic service in face of great odds
for nearly an hour. Assistant Engineer
Frederick and few of his fi1emen were stand
ing on the Minneapolis and st. Louis elevator
track. running evenly with the second floor of
the Crocker, Fisk & Co. mills, and two firemen
tremendous explosion occurred in the
Crocker & Fisk mill, tearing the building into
fragments, and hurllng the two men on the
roof. from which point they wero recovered a
few minutes afterwards without greater injury
than mere scratches. The front of the ex-
ploded mill was thrown outward in mass of
flying debris. travelling with the force of can
non bali, iniicting few bodily injuries among
the spectators, owing to the limited number
congregated on the ground where the frightful
incident of the casualty occurred.
The property swept away by the fire consists
of the Excelsior Mill, owned by D. Morrison
and operated by Chas. A. P:llsbury & Co.; the
same firm; the Minneapolis Mill, owned and
operated by Crocker, Fisk & Co.; the Empire
Mill, owned by A. L. Watson, of Massachusetts,,
and operated by Chas. A. Pillsbury & Co., and
the Cotton MILL owned by D. Morrison and
operated by Henry H. Honkomp. These mills
were totally destroyed and all their contents
burned. The total loss foots up over $40o, 1000.
Following is a list of the casualties Cornelius
Fredericks, assistant chief engineer of the fire
department., John Huery, member Of Hook and

in the Pillsbury ''B" MILL and a man named

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Postmaster General James, in his an
nual report, recommends the establish
ment of postal savings banks throughout
the country. These banks are popular
and consequently successful in Great
Britain, where they have been in opera
tion for twenty years. They are open at
all money order Offices and deposits are
received from one shilling up, except
that no person is allowed to deposit more
than hundred and fifty dollars in any
one year or run up his total account be.
yond seven hundred and fifty dollars:
Interest is paid at the rate of two and a
half per cent. year, and begins to run
from the first of themonth after deposit.
One convenient feature of the English
system is that when depositor wants
money he is not obliged to draw from
the Office where he deposited, but may
get it at any postal bank in the United
Kingdom. Another advantageous or
rangement, which was first tried about a
year ago, and has become very popular
among the poorer depositors, is that
twelve penny postage stamps stuck on a
slip Of paper prepared by the govern.
ment may be deposited for shilling.
The extent to which these institutions
are used by the people is shown by the
fact that in 1879 the number of banks
had increased to six thousand, the num-
ber Of annual depositors to nearly three
and half millions and the total amount
of yearly deposits to fifty million dollars
The open accounts at the beginning OF
1880 numbered nearly two millions,
while the amount standing to the credit
of depositors was hundred and sixty
million dollars.

publications 30 numerous in the present
day. This is not an isolated case. The
superintendent of the House of Refuge
Oh Randall's Island, New York city,
stated a couple Of years ago that ma
jority OF the boys in the institution had
been habitual readers of the sentimental
literature of the period and that their
first steps on the downward path could
be traced more or less directly to such
reading. The same is probably true of
the children in other institutions, and
flash literature should be forced out of
the market and give place to that which
is healthy and not enervating in its ten
denotes.
Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, OF the Brook
lyn Tabernacle took occasion to de-
nounce the corrupt literature of the day
in sermon recently. He compared it
to the plague Of frogs in Egypt. He
said that these frogs pop up everywhere.
The mail bags in the postofice shake
out thousands of. them in the letter.
trough. It is one of the most CHASTITY Of
the ten plaques of our modern cities.
There is a vast number of books and
papers which should never be published,
for the literature of nation decides it's
fate. It is remarkable fact that more
publishers of bad books live in Brooklyn
than anywhere else. They must be
drawn out and exterminatcd from
Christendom. In 1873 grand, potent
Christian law was passed by congress
prohibiting the passage Of bad literature
through the mails. Under it many per-
sons were arrested and thrown into the
penitentiary, where they belonged. This
law stirred up great many people, and
they sent u petition to congress to have
it repealed. The house refused the re-
quest and the matter was referred to the
senate. There the committee on the re-
vision Of laws reported adversely to the
petition and the law remains. Accord
ing to Mr.. Talmage, the best way to war
against immoral literature is to enforce
the law. When Rowland Hill spent his
life for healthfrl intercommunication he
did not mean to make vice easy. It
ought not to he in the power of any man
who can raise one-cent stamp to blast
a man or destroy home. Mr.. Talmage
asserted that the plague should be
driven back by filing the minds and
hands of children with good books Of all
styles. While the publishers Of corrupt
literature may live in the city Of church,
es the stuff itself emanates, in great part,
from New York city. Flash weeklies,
with sensational stories and shockingly
bad and unnatural pictures, are circu-
lated by the hundreds Of thousands and
do more in corrupting the young than
any other single agency.
