CLEVELAND, September s.-The scene
of last nights c~onhagration presented a
desolate appearance to-day, The fire COW
cred an area extending from Scranton ave
nue. and the Bee Line track on the east
and west from the river to Girard street
north and south. 1t embraced a triangu-
lar base which runs from east to west L.
100 feet, the two sides extending south
erly and nearly meeting, a distance Of l.
800 feet. In less than an hour after the
fire started every engine in the city had
been called out to cope with the flames,
and half an hour later the Chief was
obliged to telegraph neighboring cities for
aid. After starting the flames extended
west to the lumber yard of Potter, Bird
sail & Co., and east to G. G. King & Co.,
extending from Scranton avenue t. the
Bee Line and from the river to Carter
street, eating FIVE million feet of lumber,
twenty-seven cars of the Bee Line loaded
with merchandise and, other incidentals
such as Office buildings, shanties and
stables. Having swept away the square,
the flames leaped across the river on the
north and across the Bee Line embank-
ment on the west and eat their way into
the rear of Sherwin, Williams 4 Co. s
works and G.. A. SANKEY'S lard, oil and
candle factory oil the north, attacking
Hubbell & W~estover's lumber yard on the
west. Considerable damage was done
here, but the flames were isolated after n
desperate fight and their progress checked.
Having destroyed everything north of
Carter street the fire made its way across
the street, going south and attacking the
Variety Iron Works, Eynon & Co.'S
machine shop, House & Davidson's
box factory and planning mill
and Woods, Perry & Co s
planning mill and the Howell Coal COM
pany's coal yards. wholly wiping out
everything embraced between Carter,
Bedford and Vaillard streets and Scran-
ton avenue. Step by step the flames were
fought but unnecessarily. The fire
burned itself out in a southerly direction
and then stopped. The ruins are smok-
ing and smouldering yet and engines are
throwing water. The losses and insurance
are as follows as nearly as can yet be
learned: Woods, Perry & Co., 1915, 900;
insurance, $500. 900. c. G. Kink & Co,
loss. S65,OOO; insurance, $3.50, 900.

600; insurance, $40, 900. c., c. & 1. G.

amount to an additional $l0O,O 00.

in d day, leaving a bad example and
perhaps decentralization and crime;
the trad esman and manufacturer by vicis-
STUDIES of trade or through the
a%llurements of n short road to wealth may
in a day be overcome and bring disaster,
and ruin upon hundreds of his neighbors,
but in the industrious, intelligent and
contented farmer this State finds a safe
and profitable citizen, always contributing
to its wealth and prosperity. The real
value of the farmer to a State aud Ma
ton is not, however, fully appreciated un-
til we consider that he feeds millions of
our people who are engaged in other pur-
suits, that the products of his labor fills
the avenues of our commerce, and sup
plies an important factor in or financial
relations with other nations.
| have not come to attempt to please
you with cheap and fulsome praise, nor
to magnify your worth and your import
ance, but have come as the Chief Exec
tive of the State to acknowledge in its be-
half that our farmers yield full return for
the benefits they receive from the State
government l have come to remind you
of the Importance of the interests which
you have in charge, and to suggest
that Notwithstanding the farmer indie
pendence he cannot, and must not, be
entirely unmindful ofthe value and import
ance to the interest he holds of a Just
and economical government. 1t is his
right and his duty to demand that all I'M
Just and inequitable burdens upon agri-
culture and its products however caused,
should be removed and that in the
furtherance of other interests Of the State
a due regard to this important one
should not be neglected. Thus by his la
Dor AZ a farmer, and in the full perform
ance of his duty as a citizen, she will Gre
ate and secure to himself his share of the
results of his toll, and save and guard for
all people the most important element in

OTTAWA, Ont, September s.-Con-

the people of British Columbia at the an
nouncement of leprosy having been dis
covered among the Chinese population.

with the disease, say that the cases reported
are leprosy, an English speaking doc

which the discovery of leprosy among
them would aid to check. There is little
doubt, however, that the disease has beer
introduced into the province from China,
and that it is more prevalent than is sup
posed. The question now arises as to
what extent it will be carried across the
border into the United States by the
hundreds of Cinnamon who are nov
smuggling themselves across the line into

Exciting stnte of Affairs.

NEW Brunswick, n. j., September
s.-Mahlon Runyon, President of the
National Bank, cut his throat in the water
closet of the bank. He was a farmer, 90
years old. He leaves a wife and four
children. He had been President of the
bank five years.
There is intense excitement over the
double suicide of the President and
cashier. A statement furnished by these
officials in June,ofth current year showed
a paid capital of $3.50, 900; a surplus of
Sl25, 900 and undivided profits, $7S, $50.
There has been nothing in the public
history of the bank since that date to
cause any uneasiness to the stockholders.
The suicide of President Runyon, while
strengthening the testimony of great
frauds in the management, causes IN
bounded establishment among the general
public.
Runyon knew nothing of Hills doings,
trusting him implicitly. The crash in
Wall street in May last took the bulk of
Hills stealings. Runyon, although quite
popular, was ignorant of financial matters,
and was a willing tool in the hands of the
designing cashier.
At GAO a. m. President Runyon drove
up to the bank in his carriage. He was
accompanied by his two young daughters.
Good bye, papa" said Julia, the
eldest, reaching out of the carriage as Mr..
Runyon descended to the pavement. 81
hope all will be well"
IF you do not see me before night" he
responded, tell m l will stick tc
the bank"
Twenty minutes later he sent to ChieI
Fitzgerald, who was in charge ofthe bank.
for a copy of the morning paper, in which
a story was told of his completely in the
banks downfall. Securing the paper h,
went into the room occupied by the or
ganizing directors and began to read. A
deathly palor %overspread his face, and he
exclaimed. MY God, what will my
children think" Passing his handker
chief over his brow he threw the papel
into the lap Of Director Stoddard, and
excusing himself, went into the toile'
room of the bank. A minute later tn,
sound Of a fail was heard. The directors
rushed to the closet and discovered tn,
body of Runyon on the floor. Blood wa
oozing from a gaping wound in the throat

ELMuRA, n. Y, September s.-This
was a gala day for Elmira. 1t is esti-
mated there were $4,000 on the Fair
grounds. Governor Cleveland, accom-
panied by his Private Secretary and Adju-
tant General F~arnsworth, arrived this
morning. At the Governors special re
quest there was no demonstration at that
hour aside from a salute of twenty-one
guns by the Cleveland battery. The
party was met at the depot by Lieutenant
Governor Hill and a number of promi-
nent citizens.
Governor Cleveland commenced speak
ing at 2:45. He spoke from a carriage in
front of Manufacturers Hall and-was in
troduced by the President of the Fair.
Immediately after Cleveland arose a great
cheer went up from the multitude, $4,000
people shouting themselves hoarse. The
remarks were listened to with great
attention and often interrupted with
cheers.
The Governor spoke as follows: 1t af-
fords me great pleasure to meet you here
to-day and to have an opportunity of in
speeding the annual exhibition which il
Illustrates the condition of agriculture in
our State. l regard these annual fairs as
something connected with the State gov
eminent because to some extent at least,
they are fostered and aided by public
funds and | am sure that no good citizens
are inclined to complain of the a%ppropria-
ton of a small part of the peoples money
to the encouragement of this important in
terest. The fact that this is done fur
nishes a distinct recognition by the State
of the valuable relation which its farmers
and its farms bear TO the prosperity and
welfare Of the commonwealth We boast
Of manufactures, exceeding as they do
largely those of any other State, but our
supremacy is clearly shown when we re-
call the fact that in addition to our lead
ing manufactures the value of our farms
and their products is second only among
the States. There is a fixedness and re-
liability in agricultural pursuits which are
not always found in other branches of in
dustry and human effort. The soil re-
mains in its place ready to be TILED and
the farmer with rudy health and brawny
arms depends alone upon the work of his
hands and the aid of a kind Providence
for a reward of his labor. Thus our far.
mers are the most Independent of oul
citizens. They produce, or have within
their reach, all they need for their neces
sites and comforts. Their crops may BIZ
more abundant at one harvest thar
another; their products may command 4
higher price market one time than another
These conditions may expand or contract
their ability to indulge in l~uxuries or ex
penditures not absolutely needful, buI
they should never be in want of the neces
saries or comforts of life. This is a sur
result of patient and well regulated farm
ing. When the farmer fails and becomes
bankrupt in his business we may, l think
confidently look for shiftlessness or
too ambitious desire to own more land o
stock than he can pay for, or an inter
meddling with matters that bear no rela
ton to his farm, or such mismanagemen
and ignorance us demonstrate that he ha
5 mistaken his vocation. Fortunes may b
quickly amassed in speculation and los
