LarEe E1re ct Rl.Inr sun, MarzIana

The village of Rising Sun, ,on the Phila-
deIDhia aud B ltimore Central road, In
Cecil county, Nd, few miles south Of
the Penn'a line, was the scene of . ser
ious oonhagTation on Wednesday night.
The fire broke out about III O'Clock, In
the rear basement of Passmore Broth
ers' store, and Is supposed TO have oriRI-
mated from the ht a5er. The entire
building, large brick, thirty by one
hundred feet, two and half stories
high, and containing fifteen to tweL ty
thousand dollars worth OF goods, was
consumed. Or. A. II. II. Smith, dentist,
who occupied front room in the second
story, lost every thing, book, papers and
office fixtures. Only by almost SUPER
human efforts on the part OF owners and
neighbors the adjacent buildings, Ma.
tional bank, and the residence OF John
W. Passmore, were saved.
The town has no tlre apparatus Of any
kind, and the only means of fighting
the tire was with buckets of water. The
arge safe In Passmore Brothers bulla-
ing is supposed to be In good condition.
The three stores adjoining the Ricen-
house MANN 9th building burned were
occupied by K. K. Brown, matchmaker
and jeweler; John r. Burkins, saddle
and harness makers and Joseph 8. Pogue
In the same business. Their loss ID
light, principally In breakaRe, caused by
removal of goods. So far as cau be
learned all parties are insured Ia re-
sponsinle companies to near their val
ues. The Passmore Brothers were con-
templating closing business this spring,
and had run down their stock as low as
possible. This makes the fourth large
fire in the town within fifteen years.
The loss will be heavily felt by the solid
business men of the place. 1t will also
greatly retard business. In the mldst
of excitement it was impossible to learn
anything definite, but the total loss is
from $40, 900 to $25, 200.

A 'tGaIlOWs Youth" of Eleven.
Pail Mall Gazette, January 25.
Education does not appear to have
as yet exercised humanizing effect
on a boy named Hindle, aged eleven
years, who was yesterday senteBced
by Mr.. Justice Chitty, at Manchester,
to one months imprisonment and
five years. In a reformatory for man
slaughter, On the night of the 4th
instant Hindle and some other boys
were "concocting a robbery" in
Stafford. Seabourne, the boy he killed
wished to join in the venture, and
threatened that if not allowed to do
so he would inform against the
others. A quarrel ensued which end
ed by Hlndle stabblng Seabourne
with knife, and inflicting so terrible
wound that the boy died. The jury,
in finding Hindle guilty, recomend'
ed him to mercy on account of his
youth; and two schoolmasters gave
evidence that his conduct had been
uniformly good," and that his dlll-
gence had gwen great satisfaction"
Perhaps this testimony to his charac-
ter accounts for his gayety, for when
sentenced yesterday by the judge he
showed no symptoms of emotion. On
the contrary, he behaved SO defiant
ly IN dock that he had to be reproved
for his conduct, and on being taken
to the cells he waved his hand and
shouted, "Keep your hearts up" We
will do our best to follow HIndle's
advice; but we can assure this inters
estlng juvenile offender that apart
from the fact of his Imprisonment
for brief period, there is not much
in the aspect of affairs to inspire
cheerfulness.
