Owen Meredith, in his charming

Let him fearlessly face it, twill leave him
alone
But twill fawn at his feet if he filings il a

THE FIRE FIEND.

CINCINNATI, April A.-The Ameri-
can oak and leather tannery, occupy
ing the square bounded by KenDer
street, Mclean Avenue, Dallas and
Florence streets was burned at an
early hour this morning, excepting
the japanning department, which was
saved by desperate work of fire de-
partment. There were 5000 hides In the
factory. The loss will reach $4OO. OCJ;
insurance, 100000. Portions of the
tannery were burned year ago. -Four
hundred people are thrown out Of eIn-
ployment. The insurance is mainly
placed in local companies, and In COM
panies represented here. The fire or e.
inatated in the drying room above he
boiler. and was discovered bya watch
man while lighting the fire under the
boiler, about two o'clock this morning.
The speed of the flames was rapid, and
the spectacle one of remarkable bril-
liancy, as the great building seemei
to be all flame at cnse. There were
many narrow escapes from falling
walls, but no injuries are reported.
The establishment was The largest Of
its kind in the world. The capital
stock is 100000. There is no quts-
tion of the ability of the company to
repair its loss and proceed with the
business.

1885, and four per cent
thereafter, shall be raised to
