Sty JOmpletciy Destroyed,
A portion of Baldwin's locomotive
works, Philadelphia was destroyed by iiro
Mouday evening, involving loss Of $780,
600. Tho burned building was the oldest
Of the group that forms the extensive
mauuCactory, having been erected when
Matthias Baldwin first began locomotive
building on Broad street 1t stands at
the northwest corner of Broad and Hamil-
ton streets
The flames were first discovered at a
quarter before o'clock 10y watchman
They we're then burning with agood head
way in the third story on Hamilton street,
directly over the engine room, There was
delay III striking the alarm for the fire
department, and the watchmau ran directly
to the engine aud blow the great fire
whistle To call tho fire department con.
| nected with the works. lt was ten
minutes later before an alarm was sent
| over the city wires. The first response to
| the whistle was from the first brigade con.
| uected with the Hopes Il Townsend bolt
works ON the opposite side Of Broad street
The Baldwin fire brigade was sOOu after
| at work, but its operations were hampercd
/ rs the large steam fire pumps were located
IN the engine room, near the fire. The
flames spread with great rapidity, owing
to the llJOrS being thoroughly saturated
with oil. When the tremcn arrived at
the scene the roof was on fire aud the IN
terror Of the building was mass of roar
ing flames. Il was too late to prevent that
part of the building from being destroyed,
and the tiremcu turued their attention 10
other portions Of the works They were
50 successful in this that only the southern
portion OF the building, IN which the tire
originated, was burned out. The building
frOnted on Broad street, from Hamilton
street to BuitonwOod, and was about 22j
feet deep on Hamilton street. This entire
end was destroyed, but on the Broad street
side the fire did not extend moro than
$50 feet from the corner.
The cause Of the fire is unknown, but as
there was no tirc in that part OF the build
iug where the ilImes were tisst seen, aud
as there had been several severe flashes Of
lightning just previous, it is thought that
bolt struck the building.
The boiler works adjoiued the burned
building but the fire WAS prevented from
communicating 10 it. There wcro over
800 men employed IN the building, many
OF whom will lose their machinists' kits Of
tools. The destruction of the bull ding
will cause serious hiudrauce TO work in
other shops and will probably cause
temporary loss of work to more than
double that number.

which he tied around ono Of the

1t is likely that he crawled up
the ladder leading from the NOW to the

his neck, allowed himself to drop. His
legs were through the ladder to the knees,
and although his arms were also through,
his hands did not touch the steps,
From his appearance the man may have

The famous exponent Of cremation,
DIR. lie Moyne, appears to have been a
man OF original ideas in other lines than
the advocacy of the incineration OF
human remains. Those who were asso-
ciated with him In the western part of
the state relate that he was unalterably
oppo jeu To the use of fruits out uf the
season to which they strictly belonged.
He argued that they were for special
purpose, and with their natural death
perished their peculiar effectiveness.
The strawberry, for instance, being rich
in an acid that stimulates emunCtories,
was especially useful in driving out the
carbonaceous matter that naturally ac.
cumulated in the system during the
winter and 50 with other berries and
fruits. The theory is an ingenious one,
and was well adapted to the early days
Of the world when regions liable To be
covered with ice and snow were deemed
uninhabitable But it could not stand
the test in the colder northern sections
where civilization has now penetrated
and where fruits are few and The
weather rigorous.

From the Baldwinsyillo Gazette.
The stand Of the present crop was never
better than at the present time. Very fow
plants are missing, and the fields generally
are uniform. During July the plants
have been retarded somewhat by cold
weather, but the frequent rains and the
warm weather for the past two weeks
have produced very favorable growth.
Some pieces are large enough and are
being topped, and few pieces were topped
last week. Some OF the buyers who have
looked tho crop over pretty thoroughly
say they never saw better leaf, at this
time Of year, not oyerlarge, but fine and
full OF substance. With no early frosts or
hail tho crop this season will exceed In all
respects any crop ever raised here. Our
growers are making business OF tobacco
growing more and more every season, and
are apprcciating the fact that good ana
careful work pays. They anticipate and
will doubtless receive good price for
their crops.
