On Sunday one of the most an
palling fires visited Cleveland and
CAUSED immense destruction of
property. The origin of the fire is
unknown, incendiarism is supposed
y some, but the most probable
t'eory is that sparks from tugs set
lire to a pile of shavings from which
the flames spread, until the extensive
lam eryards i'll that locality were all
ablaze. By 10 o'clock at night
more than 10 acres of lumber and
frame buildings were aAame, cast
ing blazing cinders in all directions
for miles around, and causing i'm.
mense excitement lest they should
set fire to the city.

The Board, fof Aid having won
their case with the Crooke Coal
Company naturally leads to the con-
sideration of some risks which
accompany the purchase of land in
Tennessee. These risks arise from
the very defective system ON which
the State Government allowed the
public land to be taken up or zen
tered"
Y 10 counteract this, the original
oS Sners of the lands now forming
the Rugby Estate laid them out in
n regular system, perhaps the only
one in Tennessee. 1t consisted of a
series of rectangular blocks laid out
oa the cardinal points Of the com
pass and comprising 5000 acres
each. These blocks were definitely
located and each formed links in a
''hain several miles wide, extending
from near the Cumberland River to
lockwood. These are the oldest
titles in the country, ,and were known
a the Eastland and Lane system.
On top of these, however, other
parties came and located random
entries, running in all directions and
either tapping on, Or lying entirely
inside the older entries.
The Board had no trouble with its
titles, because of the fact that
they were admittedly older
and better than any of those in con-
Aict with them, neither did they ex-
pect any trouble. But they were
awakened from their dream of
happy repose by the appearance on
the scene of an enterprising (Dcitizen
hailins from New Jersey with a car
pet bag full of ''claims" to unload
tor the benefit (?) of Tennessee and
the Rugby Colony. This public
spirited individual came into possess
sion Of said claims long after the
founding of the Colony, and it is
said, knew exactly that he would
have to lock horns with the Board
ofAid. But seeing a littleBritish gold
on the horizon he thought he would
first try the safest of all dodges-
compromise" Now while the
Board has been always disposed,a ,and
has SO proved itself, to effect a COM
promise with any of the citizens of
the country who held conflicting
claims, and who honestly believed
they really owned the land, it could
never stoop to listen to a man who
had no interest in the country or
community except to make all he
could out of his so-called claims;--a
man who never laid out a dollar in
improving or developing the country.
The Board, on the contrary, had,
in good faith, gone ahead and fol-
lowing the example of the earliest
and most successful colonizers, the
Romans, built a road, then, to meet
the demands of the most modern
civilization-a hotel; and soon cot
tages, church and school house,
paths and recreation grounds.
Streets and avenues followed. The
cost Of these improvements was in
the neighborhood Of 100000.

The Kolaische Zeit,ng publishes a
long account Of the present position
of the German and French manu.
facuring industries. 1t says that
Berlin has completely supplanted
Paris in cheap articles i'll copper, Of
which considerable quantities are
exported from Germany to France.
On the other hand, Paris has a mon
oply of the trade in artistic bronzes.
In cheap lamps Berlin has the con-
troll of the international market, but
Paris excels in the more expensive
articles. As regards porcelain and
glass, Germany competes scccessful-
ly with Paris; but she cannot rival
Lyons in certain qualities of silks
and velvets, etc. In cheap cloth
Germany has the superiority; but
France, on the other hand, has a
monopoly in the lace manufacture.
The German newspapers attribute
the successful competition of Ger
many with France to the superior
industry of Germany workmen and
their Willingness to work at lower
rates than French artisans.
