BURNING RAGS.

A Philadelphia Warehouse Damaged
Threo Men Badly burned.
At three o'clock yesterday afternoon the
men engaged in sorting rags on the Sec
ond floor Of Patrick McNulty's worehouse
625 South Front street, Philadelphia, saw
that pile in the corner Of the room was
ablaze and endeavored to subduo the
flames. Their efforts proved unavailing,
and the fire communicating to large
quantity of rags and paper stored in tho
apartment, an alarm was sounded. Before
the engines arrived, however, the flames
spread 60 rapidly that McNulty,
James Helps and Michael Neatly,
were compelled TO seek safety by sliding
down the hatchway rope. Upon reaching
the first floor tho men were found to be so
badly burned about the face, breast and
back us to necessitate their removal to the
Pennsylvania hospital. Neally's injuries
were the most serious, and he will prob
ably die. The flames communicated to
No. G23, used as tenement house, and
also to another house on the north, burn
ing the roofs. The families living in these
dwellings became panic. stricken, and re-
moved nearly all their household effects.
McNulty's loss amounts to about 81, 600,
which is fully covered by insurance. The
roofs Of thrco other houses, owned by Mr..
Davidson, were damaged to the extent of
$500.

THE TOBACCO MARKET.
TRADE IN SEED LEAF AND HAVANA

For the Week Ending Saturday July 80.
New York Tobacco Journal.
The market is still asleep and NO change
in the policy Of buyers can be reported.
New tObaccOs are not OGered-at least not
publicly-and old tObaccOs can only be
sold as bargains" The offers buyers arc
making for 80 Pennsylvania are causing
heaIt-ache to sellers. For the lots for
which offers Of twenty cents or moro were
made last winter, twelve to fifteen cents
is now offered without blush. With the
exception of Il few parcels Of tine 80 Con-
necticut, and very little 80 state, old
tO6accos have No market figure.
Tho leaf trade is dsmOralizssl. For
months and months the greater portion Of
the large manufacturers have kept out OF
the market. Those that came invested
either in Sumatra, to use in fine cigars. or
ONO, or something worse, for cheap
cigars. Sure enough, the tax mudGllc has
had . great deal to do with it, but the
main cause is the nou-yielding quality Of
the stock offered.
Those that bought 80 Pennsylvania last
year ut high figures have found it to DO
too costly for cheap and too poor for fine
cigars. Sumatra was offered rs salts
factory substitute-in price not much
above the finest seed leaf wrappers in the
markets, and in color and quality much
superior. The consequence is y market
full Of old stock begging for buyers.
Ii the new 81 } stock turns out better
than the old and holders will unload at
popular prices. the old must be sold at
the greatest sacrifice.
II the new turns out badly, tho old will
revive and command somewhat better
figures, but it will also cause an influx OF
Sumatra and other foreign wrappers,
which will cause an enormous depression
in the 'Ss crop.
The sales of the week were as follows
Pennsylvania-CrOp 80 800 cases, 12
GJ16c.
Crop 80 200 cases CON-
mon wrappers, 1S(G2Oc.
OhiO-CrOp 80 800 cases, 41(a.c.
Havana-Slarkot quiet. Sales 400 bales.
No change in prices.
The Philadelphia Market.
Leaf.
Seed Leaf-Trade in this branch is ce,,-
orally very quiet. Manufacturers arc wait
ing positive information from Washington
before buying. Raw material in hands OF
manufacturers is light, 70 that very short.
ly you may look for general desire Of all
parties to buy. Stock in hands of deal
ers is excellent, and will fully meet the
wishes OF the trade when needed. Prices
hold steady.

THE LOCAL MARK EFT.
Prospect of the Growing Crop.

ssoSlsocS " tuO oEVw1uS NtOR.
During the last week there has been very
little Improvement in tho outlook for the
growing crop. and the most sanguine can
not figure out a half crop Some farmers
have abandoned their fields entirely, and
upon tho whole the prospects are very bad
indeed. Farmers arc cOrrespOndingly out
of spirits and are to be piticd. We do not
think five per cent. Of the crop il now
topped and August is here. In former
years it was nearly all topped. and VIC have
seen it i'll many cases Oh tho lath in sheds.
There have been few local rains, but hot
sun and winds have soon dried them up
Holders of old goods are stiifening up III
prices and will, il they have the back
bone to hold out, get out whole yet. "S1"
is pretty we'll picked up and it is said to be-
sweating nicely there is NO doubt of its
quality if its length is not so great.

HUBBELL AND THE SENATE EN-
PLOYEES.
He Asscsses Both Democrats and Republ
cans.

When David Davis was elected presi-
dent of the Senate, he announced that his
deciding vote would euablo the Democrats
to retain the officers of the Senate, VIII lie
the Republicans should have the chair
manships and majority of tho commit
tees. In levying assessments, Mr.. Hub
bell recognizes no distinction between
Democrats and Republicans in Office. The
Democratic clerks and doorkeepers ~
ceived invitations to day to send 2 per
cent. of their salaries to the Republican
congressional committee. Each door,
swinger is assessed s2S. Mr.. Hubbell will
find tho Senate barren field SO far as tho
officers are concerned, but tho Republican
committee clerks are made TO suffer.
Those who receive six dollars per diem
as long as the Senate is in session, have
been assessed on the basis of having en-
ployment every day in the year.

A CLEKGYMAN's HEROiSM.
Priest. i'bysician, Undertaken IN

Priest. i'hysician, Undertaken and sexton.
An act of Christian herOism which
ought not to 60 unrecorded was reformed
last Wednesday evening near Newport,
Charles county, Maryland. The Baltimore
Sun thus describes it " A colOred man,
Louis Matthews, victim OF smallpox, lay
dead in his cabin. In the room with tho
dead man were his wife and two small
children suffering from the same disease.
OF course, every one avoided the cabin,
fearing the contagion. A gentleman Of
the neighbOrhood, Mr.. Julian Norris, had
q grave dug about six yards from
the house, and i coffin was placed
near it. The Rev. J. A. Cunnane, pastor
of St. Mary's Catholic church at Ncwpcrt,
who had been visiting the stricken family,
ministering to their temporal aud spiritual
wants, seeing the utter loneliness of the
family, at once took it upon himself to
bury the dead. Unaidcd, he took the
coffin to the cabin, placed therein tho
loaths0me corpse, and, mastering extra
ordinary strength, transferred tho coffined
corpse to a wheelbarrow, conveyed it to
the grave aud buried it, performing all
the labor alone. Thus he, who had been
priest and physician to the sick man,
became also undertaken and sexton.

people of al parties in making the
issue Of our state politics the
overthrow Of boss rule and the spoils
system, and the establishment of an
honest and fair apportionment. Who is
for these things can stand with the De-
mocracy, and where the Independent
and Democratic votes can be united on
this platform against Ring candidates
for the Legislature it may and most
likely will be done.
The Democratic pledge of fair ap-
portionment is honestly made and is in
tended to be honestly kept. This is
what the Independents want and what
they can never get from a Cameron Leg
fslature. Such an assembly would cruelty
them at all cost and eliminate all the dis
tricts in which Independent Republican
ism asserts itself. This would be the
Cameron game IL that domination got
tho Legislature this year. The Inde-
pendents need to watch it carefully.
They can consistently strengthen candi-
dates, who are for an honest appoint
ment, to beat those who are not. There
are many counties in the state in which
all the voters who are interested in hon
est legislation can unite to elect honest
legislators.

President Grevy to summon the president

still more complicated form.
