SUNDAY DIVERSIONS.

The weather was glorious yesterday,
and as a result there were many picnic
parties on the quivive The city was
very quiet in consequence, and but very
little life was visible on the streets The
Milan street cars were crowded all day,
the rendezvous being the ever popular
Black Hawks watch tower The tower
was dotted with many little groups, who
were having a most agreeable time
The excursion to Linwood Springs on
the steamer Josephine, was the greatest
attraction The boat made four trips,
down and back daring the day. and each
time carried jolly party, A Davenport
band enlivened the occasion The ride
down occupied about three quarters of an
hour, and was very delightful At the
grounds the time was passed in various
ways, many going down just for the ride.
Several games of base ball are reported
by the different clubs, and one or two
fishing parties that started out bright and
early.

A FIERCE FIRE.
A Row of Seven Well Filled Ice Houses
Burned--The Loss Heavy.
Peoria Democrat.

Peoria Democrat.
About half past five o'clock Friday
afternoon a fire broke out in row of
seven large ice houses on the river bank
just above the Peoria pottery. The two
lower houses belonged TO Andrew J.
Baker, formerly of the drug firm of
Dumbeck & Baker, and the five upper
ones to billiard & West. the ice in the
latter having been sold about three
months ago to Mr.. Stiefel, wealthy ST.
Louis brewer, with the privilege, as it
is understood, of storing it there two
years. The flames were first seen in one
of Bakers houses, ard they spread
rapidly until when the fremen arrived
five houses were in blaze, and the other
two were soon developed in the devour
ing element. All seven buildings were
burned to the ground and large GUAM
tity of ice was melted. The water drip
ping through, the whole mass will in a
short time be frozen into solid cake,
making it difficult to take it out There
is no market for ice just now, SO that the
CONCEALED comfort remaining cannot be
disposed of profitably. 1t is doubtful
moreover, whether it would pay to
transfer it to other houses or rebuild
the houses over it. Hlliard & Vests
houses were full. and contained at a
rough guess about ten thousand
tons 1t is Tumored that the ice
was sold to the st. Louis gentle
man for IS cents ton. billiard &
West are both river men, and are out of
town. Mr. Hilliard is on his DO at, the
Central City, on trip from St. Louis. to.
Vicksburg, and is due at the latter city to-
day. Mr.. West is somewhere in Colo
RADIO Their houses were probably worth
about seven thousand dollars, and are
insured, for how much cannot be ascer-
taiued, but there is 81 600 with Calender
& Co. and $1,000 with Cremer and
Slevin. 1t is thought that Mr. Stiefel
had his ice insured. Mr. Baker had no
insurance, and estimates his loss at
1000. The fire swept out of existence
all he had in the world, unless che can
realize something on the ice which is left.
He had about 3 500 tons on hand. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it is
supposed to have been sparks from a
locomotive that passed by on the G. R.
l. & P. track shortly before. II this can
be proven, damages may be collected
from the railroad company The fire
broke ont just as the base ball game was
drawing to close A large column of
dense black smoke could be seen from
the grounds, and soon the flames were
visible. Nearly all the spectators hurried
to the scene. The fire made an intense
heat, which was felt hundred yards off,
and was hardly bearable at a closer
distance
