Property Destroyed at Memphis.
MEMPHIS, July 24-At 4:30 o'clock this
morning fire was discovered in the rear por-
ton of the stores Nos. $50 and 1862 Shelby
street, occupied by +. w. Brode & Co., COM
mission merchants. The alarm was prompt
ly sent in, but before the engines arrived the
flames had communicated to 1900 barrels of
refined cotton seed oil, which was stored in
the cellar and second story of the building.
The fire spread rapidly and soon enyeloped
the store Of Stewart, Gwynn Il Co., whole
sale grocers, to the north, and Shanks e Co.
and John Reids grocery and comm ission
houses 10 the south. There was stored 500
barrels of oil with Sbanks & Co., which hut
added to the intense heat and prevented the
fremen from fighting the fire at close quar-
tiers, aud they could only save adjoining
property. The losses as far as could be as
certained, are: Stewart, Gwynne & Co., on
stock, $50, 900; insured for $4,000 in the
Green & Beasy agency; on store. SIS, 0O0 in
sured for $125 500. f. A. Brode & Co., So, 600;
insured for $1,000. The 1900 barrels of oil
in the store were owned by the Globe Oil
works, valued at $50 900; fully insured. The
building was owned by NJ. L. Meacham, val
ued at $4,000 insured for S., 900. There
were other losses by parties having oil in
stock. The total loss is about 5000, 000 in

they tell me that. until they can get COM
munication with the East and prompt replies
there is no use trying to do satisfactory
business and shipments must fall off in con-
sequence"
Il will venture to say" said trunk line
official, that if this strike continues through
the present week the showing of Commits
sioner Moore for the week on east-bound
business will be smaller than was ever
known before. The railroads are certainly
among the heaviest losers by this move, but
l regret it for the damage to business gener-
ally"
1t seemed to be the universal opinion
among the lines East that they were suffer
ing unnecessarily, and their sympathy is APP
parently with the men, despite heavy losses
to their own business West-bound traffic
does not seem to be materially affected by
the strike, although in some quarters COM
plants were made.

Special to Louisville Courier-Journal,

Unexpsnded Pension Money.

Washington Special.
Commissioner Dudley has instructed pen
sion agents to cover into the Treasury all
unexpended balances standing to their credit
on June 80. These balances will aggregate
about $13, 500, 900, and will of course increase
the Treasurer's available cash balance by that
amount The amount named, added to the
available cash on hand at the close of bust
ness to-day, swells that balance to about
sions drew nearly $4,000, 900 this month, it
is not likely that further acquisitions will be
made for pensions before August l. and it is
therefore believed that Secretary Folger will
shortly issue call for the redemption OF
bonds
Estimates have been made at the Treasury
Department which, although not quite per-
fected, seem to indicate the possibility of a
call for three-and-a-half per cent. bonds to a
considerable amount-about $25 600 000-be-
fore the close OF the present month.

with the President and party for the Yellow
stone via Louisville. Judge Gresham is
not in the least disturbed by the
100000 damave suit brought against
him 10y NJ. A. Dauphin. nominal president
of the Louisiana Lottery Company. He re-
CARDS the move as a mere bluff move to deter
him, if possible, from his purpose of shut
ting the mails against the concern. This
action will not prevent the Postmaster-gen-
eral from instructing postoffice inspectors
and postmasters to keep close watch on the
lottery companies to see that they do not
get mail matter by changing agents or re-
sorting to other trickery.

A Heavy Damage Suit Against Postmaster

Dauphin, secretary of the Louisiana Lot

against Postmaster-geheral Gresham, asking
damages to his character by reason of the

sale of lottery tickets having been the founda-

phin is said to be deeply incehsed and in
dead earnest, but as Keys order was issued
in execution of certain United States stat
utes forbidding the use of the mails to all
immoral kinds OF business, among which lot

stand how Gresham can be made to suffer by

WARRINGTON, July 24-Another army
scandal, it is said, will soon be uncovered to
the public view. A. Mr.. Norton, of Wheel
ing, West Virginia, claims that an officer
high in rank has duplicated his accounts to
the extent of $4,000, and that he holds 49, 900
of the paper. He has tried to get something
at the department for his paper but will
probably get nothing. Discussing officers,
National banks and sub-treasuries will in fu-
ture refuse payment on any check drawn by
a United States army paymaster unless the
period covered by the payment is stated on
the check.
