much space to condemning what the best

unanim:ty recommended, and that he
should show his contempt for that mode
by formulating Proclamation in the
name of the Governor of the State, which
is in itself perversion of the facts, but is
in entire keeping with that astute wisdom
which sees in the recommendation of per-

proceeding " obnoxious to the Constitu-

is to make Proclamations, and if Mr.

because he has thrust them in the way.

THE FIRE AT THURLOW.
A Destructive Fro Ne3r Chester
Yesterday Afternoon sliil Burn
fne This Morning.

In the late edition of the REPUBLE
CAN yesterday, a brief account was
given of a fire which broke out at Thur
low about noon, since which time the
following additional particulars have
been learned:
The fire originated in one Of the stills
of Seahoard OIL Company Of Ches-
ter. The top o. the still, a heavy iron
cover, was thrown several feet away.
Fortunately no one was hurt. The
III sterial in the still began burning and
spread for some distance. In its way
were go barrels Of oil, which We're
quickly burned. This made an intense
heat. Some of the oil ran down to.
ward the river, and the fire following
il, endangered much val liable property.
Close by the still were five iron and two
wooden tanks, each with q capacity Of
about 200 barrels Of oil. These t,ok
fire and burned slowly, except the wood
en- ones, which Were quickly consumed
Other buildings containing large quan
titles of oil were with difficulty pre-
vented from being burned.
The fire is now confined to the iron
tanks, which are herCely burning, but
it is thought the flames can be kept
from spreading. If there is no further
spread of the fire, the loss will reach
100000, which is covered by insurance.
The Seaboard Oil Company was organ
lied in the early part of last summer,
with capital of $1,000 0, for the manu-
facture of ubrica;ing oils and paratiine,
and built extensive works adjoining
those of the Tiuewatar Oil Company.
The fire was caused by some of the
pipes becoming choked up.
The fire burned all through the night,
and .he light could besecn plainly from
this city. The Hanley Hose company
were playing on the fire all night.
Early his morning immense volumes
Of smoke were issuing from the fire.
The tiremen worked very cautiously
for tear of an explosion. but they did
much to keep the fire from spreading
and saving adjoining property.

soon shaking hands with his many
friends. Every member of the party
seemed to have brought along an abun-
dance of good humor, and fun and en-
ioynen abounded on all sides. Mr..

Last evening the Sunday School OF
the First Presbyterian church held its
sixty-ftth anniversary. The attend
ance was quite large and the exercises
of an interesting character. The exer'
cises were opened with prayer by the
Rev. f. B. Duval, the pastor, which
was followed by the echool singing
praise We the Lord" The secretary,
G. s. Cleland, then read the annual re-
port, which showed that during the
l,ast year the school has increased to
such an extent that on several occa-
sions it was difficult matter to admit
the large number that was present. The
average attendance of teachers was ~;
scholars lS7 The collections amounted
to S563 80 and the expenditures S562 II.
During the year there was but one
death, that Of Miss Morrow. The
school is in tiourishing condition and
needs but continuance of the zeal that
has been manifested in the past to still
further increase it's sphere of useful
ness.
After singing by the school an all
dress was delivered by the Rev. Mr.
Duval.
Memorial services for Miss Morrow
were then held, and at the closea hand
some wreath of flowers WAS presented
to her parents. Tnis was followed by

TO speed ON the Road.

Mr.. William II. Vanderbilt sat in his
lofty library, in the most comfortable
part of his $3,DOq000 New York man
sion, yesterday, with a pile OF morning
newspapers at his elbow. He appeared
TO be in a contented frame of mind, and
The lines of his massive face relaxed
into q pleasant smile. A brief despatch
had formed a picture in his brain more
stirring and hfelike than any bound in
costly books or suspended in golden
frames. The despatch read that Maud
5. was about to leave Cincinnati for
New York, to trot in double harness
with William H. and l.ysander. In
fancy he held the lines over his peerless
mare and mate in brush that left all
rival teams behind.
"Yes," he said, in reply to an inquiry,
"Maud will be brought to New York,
and ! will drive her on the road In dou-
BILE and single harness. There is no need
for the mare to trot against her own time
on the track She is 8 years old, and re-
tires with . record of 2.1O14 ,one second
faster than that ofany other trotter. The
chances are that it will be years before
her record 10 beaten. Then it will be time
enough to put her u s.Osher test.
Although Mr.. Vanderbilt did not in.
tillate thai it was his ambition to have
the fastest team Oh the road, prominent
horsemen said last evening that there Is
no doubt but that is the motive which
brings Maud to New YORK.
Mr.. Vanderbilt aroused great interest
in double team tretting four years ago,
when he drove his famous pair, Lady
Mac ana Small Hopes, in 2 %. This
interest has spread until ROW every
city and town of importance in the
country has its rival trotting teams.
Among the latest movements in this
direction was the purchase of fClingstone
for $4,000 by Mr.. WIN. J. Gordon, of
Cleveland, to match his fast trotter
VIM. FL.
For about four years no amateur or
professional reinsman was Known pub
licly to have beaten the 2.23 Of Small
Hopes and Lady Mac, although many
attempted the feat. Last September,
however, Mr.. John Shepard, of Boston,
drove his team, Mill Boy and Biondine,
over Beacon Park, mile, to his road
wagon, in 222. Mr.. Shepard paid SlO,-
600 for Mill Boy to drive him with
Blondine.
The performance stirred up the own
ers of fast teams in New York, and they
at once set their trotters at work to
eclipse the Boston record. Mr.. T. G.
Eastman drove Capt. Jack and Glen
dale in "a; Mr.. Foster Dewey's team,
Boston and William II. vera sent for
9 y3 and 2o2lI. Dan Mac drove Mr..
Vanderbilt's William H., with Lysand-
or, in 2.3( on two occasions, and Mr..
Frank Works team, Dick Swivelle
and Edward, headed all the others by
trotting mile in Fleetwood Park, to a
top road wagon, in 2.l94, September
