and girls is rs difficult as that of preparing
literature for children. Tho tendency in the

of this difficulty. The book before us is we'll

FIRE IN MINNEAPOLIS.
The Most Destructive In Many Years.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 30 This morning
three o'clock . fire was discovered on the
top floor Of the Syndicate block. The fire
gained rapid Roadway. Thousands of peot
pie gathered to witness the efforts of the
firemen to save the magnificent building,

TO be the finest block IN the Northwest.
The building was occupied by Dales, Bur,
ness, Morse & Co., wholesale dry goods;
Folds & Griffiths, carpets, and Brennan,
Starr & Everett, wholesale crockery dealers.
For a time the flames defied all efforts OF
the firemen, and it was feared that the en-
tire block would be swept away At four
O'Clock, however, the wind shifted, and the
firemen quickly took advantage Of the
change aud got the flames under control.
The fire originated on the top floor of
Brennan, Starr & Everett's wholesale stor 0.
The total loss will reach $3.50, 200. The work
of rebuilding will begin at once.

900; Phelps u Bradstreet were damaged by
smoke and water to the extent of $4,000.

HEAVY TANNERY FAILURE.
Governor Ben Butler Not Implicated.


Boston, July 30.-The Journal says that
+. Shaw &c Bros, one of the largest tanners
in the world, made an assignment to day TO
+. A. Wyman. The total liabilities cannot
be given, but the total assets are given at
S5,000,000. They are creditors of Charles
w. Copeland g. Co. to the amount of $780,
600. a&
The liabilities as stated by authority of
the counsel Of the firm will be $500, 600
nominal assets, SJ,000,000. The assets in
clude the tanneries in Northern Maine, New
Brunswick, and Quebec, aud one and a bali
million acres of land in Maine. From ten
TO fifteen thousand people were employed v
the concern. The immediate cause of the
failure was the suspension Of Copeland &
Co., who owe Shaw Bros. 100000. The
failure can be traced to the suspension Of the
Pacific Bank gear ago. Shaw Bros, at the
time the bank collapsed, held a number of
shoe and leather firms above water. They
have been carrying these firms ever since the
Pacific Bank failure, and the firms will prob
ably be heard from within four days. The
creditors of Shaw Bros, are chiefly Maine,
Boston, and New York banks and some of
the larges: bide and leather houses in this
city. Their tanneries will be kept running,
to work up their stock, which is six months
behind in orders.
