SUNDAY FIRES.
Work for the Lancaster Eiremen-Ins1ne
Hospital Burned.

LANCASTER, August 13.-This has been
an afternoon of excitement In this city. At
1.30 O'Clock an alarm of fire was sounded
from box 13, corner of East King and Ann
streets, and the fire was discovered to be In
the frame barn of Samuel N. Wetzell, on
East King street, opposite the County
Prison. The building was of frame, 40 by
So feet, with two wings, each IA by IL feet,
and, with its contents, was totally destroyed.
There were stored In the barn 200 bushels
of wheat, three tons of hay, several tons of
straw and large number OF farming i'm
plements The loss is S2,500 The fire was
the work of an incendiary.
Before the firemen had this fire under con
troll word was sent to the Chief Engineer
that the County Insane Asylum was on fire.
This building was situated on the south side
Of the Philadelphia pike, few rods east of
the city limits. 1t was a three-story brick
building, 100 feet front with wing extend
ing 100 feet In the rear. The fire was first seen
In that department of the asylum designated
as South America" which is occupied by
the iilthiest of the inmates. When the
flames we're discovered the superintendent
OF the hospital, George Spurries, with the
steward of the Almshouse, John Brock,
directed all their attention to saving the lives
of the inmates. There were confined in
the building IA persons, and these, under
their good management, were safely removed
TO the adjoining buildings. They ex-
perienced great difficulty In getting many of
the inmates from the rooms, aud IL was only
by the use Of force that some were removed.
The asylum was destroyed, and small
portion of the furniture I'm the building only
was saved. The loss is fully Si00,0OO. The
amount of the Insurance could not be ascer-
tained to-day, on account Of the superin-
tendent not having time to look up the in
suranee policies. Adjoining the asylum on
the west IL the County Hospital, building
as large as the asylum. This was on fire
several times, but extinguished each time by
the firemen. About 100 yards east of the
asylum stands the County Almshouse, and
for a time it was feared that this building
would catch on fire. Chief Engineer
Howell had in service all of the fire engines
of the city, and 1t was by the great exer
tions OF the members of the fire department,
aided by willing volunteers, that the sur
rounding buildings were saved.
There are several theories as to the cause
of the fire. One is that 1t was the work OF
an incendiary, but those advancing that
theory can give no good reason for 1t. Some
think the fire was caused by "a spark from
the Wetzell fire (mentioned aboVe) lodging
on the frame roof of the asylum, but the
generally accepted theory is that some oi
the inmates of "South America" became
possessed of matches and set the building
on fire.
A special meeting of the Directors of tn,
Poor will be held probably to-day to maxi
arrangements for the safe keeping of the in
mates Of the asylum while it is being re
built.

A Georgia Frog story.
fHartwell Sun.

A gentleman from Hartwell sent to the
Great Western Gun Works and purchased
small parlor rifle with 900 cartridges OF
the smallest size, the bullets being about the
size of duck shot. He went over to Benson's s
mill pond frog hunting, and found very
large frog of the masculine gender sitting on
a stump Just above the water. He shot 27
times at him, when his frogship lost his bal
ance and dropped over into shallow water.
Upon taking the frog ont it was found that
he had swallowed 26 OF the bullets, catching
them in his mouth, supposing them to be
flies. When he went to move the weight OF
the lead carried him overheard, and when
taken out was not dead but awful sullen.

DORSEY'S LAST RESORT.
The Publication of the Letters to Garfield
Poor Stroke of Policy,

WAsHINGToN, August 13.-The letter
from ex-senator Dorsey TO the late Presi-
dent Garfield, published here this morning,
is the first of a series shortly to be made
public. Richard J. Hinton, the editor of
the Gazette, was Dorsey's secretary during
the campaign of 1880, and kept copies of a
number of interesting letters, which Dorsey
is now willing should be made known. This
willingness is recognized here as an indica-
tion of the ex-Senator's completely in the
Star Route frauds, and regarded as an at
tempt to conciliate the administration.
On the other hand the claim is made that
General Garfield showed all these letters to
Wayne MacYeagh after he came into the
Cabinet, and that Dorsey now seeks to show
that the Star Route cases were cooked up
on purpose to give MacVeagh chance to
crush the ex-senator.
The letter seems to be the only subject of
conversation In the city to-day, and the
general impression is that it was poor
stroke of policy ON the part of Dorsey to
allow its circulation just at this time

commence canning tomatoes this week.
25O, 900 cans have been made up which Mr..
Cleaver expects to fill ii the season is favor
able. Arrangements were made last year
to can the same number, but owing to the
early frosts Mr.. Cleaver was able to can
only l69, 900. The tomato crop will be large
this year but rather late, owing to the
scarcity Of rain, and If they are not hurt by
an early frost the full number that he has
made arrangements will be canned, and as
many more as possible. 1875 hands are en-
ployed by him in his large establishment.
A new Gaping machine is to be tried, said
to cap 10000 cans in a day. Should it
prove satisfactory they will be introduced
through his establishment. The Delaware
City brand of tomatoes is noted as one of
the best In the market, and large quantities
are shipped to England annually.

fruit shipped to this market on Saturday,
the demand was equal to the occasion and
little II any was left over. A quantity
shipped to this city late on Saturday laid
over at the freight Office until this morning,
and Is being sold at reduced price, from
the fact that 1t has ripened and must be
worked or Immediately.
The shipments this morning were very
small but the dealers say 1t is plenty, as
the demand ON Mondays is small.
Peaches are sold at prices ranging from
Is cents to SIPS; Early Reds selling at 75
cents. The Mountain Rose variety goes oil

dction that fruit will be plentiful this week
