Property Destroyed.


Property Destroyed.
BALTIMORE, December At 40
this morning a fire broke out in the
stables of the Hall Springs Passenger
halfway, at barley Park, in the ex-
trcme northeastern part of this city,
which completely destroyed the large
building, together with many of the
company's cars and fifty horses. The
hamos started in the hay loft, and
spread so rapidly that only fifteen
horses could be taken out and only
one car removed. The stables were
owned by the Baltimore and Hall
Springs Railroad Company, of which
James f. Hayward is Superintendent.
The last car leaves the city at II. 80 D.
m, and the first one in the morning
does not leave the terminus until s
o'clock, SO that all the cars were in the
barn, and the company is entirely
without rolling stock. None of the
buildings adjoining the stables were
| destroyed. There were sixty-eight
horses in the stable when the fire was
discovered by the Watchman, and so
far only seventeen are known to have
| Dccn rescued, and some Of these are
| DadlN scorchcd. One was SO severely
burned that il had to be killed. The fire
started over the front entrance, and
alter haltcrs were cut the horses rcfus-
ed to be led from the burning building.
Ten cars were burned. The building
was l25 by so feet, of wood, and i'm
the upper front where the fire originat-
ca, there were stored 800 bales of hav.
The damage is estimated at $4,000,
with $4,000 insurance on horses, cars
and building. The fire was jncendi.

MEMPHIS, December, 5.-The cotton
crop report for the Memphis District,
which embraces West Tennessee, North
Arkansas, North Mississippi and North
Alabama, to be issued tomorrow by
Mcssrs. Hill, Fontainc IL Co., will say
"a review of the season will enable in
tcrcstcd persons to better comprehend
the true situation. Asis well known
planting, owing to unfavorablc weather,
was delayed fully three weeks, and
this fact, coupled with,the drouth which
prevailed during the latter part of July
and extending through August. cut
down the prospective yield, which was
SO promising, and the result Is now
evident that the decrease in this dis
trict will be about ii per cent. as COM
pared with last year. The frost of
October 2l was ravaging in its effect to
worse degree than was at first report
cd. The result of correspondence from
all sections of the South, including the
Atlantic States, Louisiana and Texas,
reduces the cotton crop in the Southern
States, from this frost alone, fully 10O,-
600 bales. The picking season, which
has virtually closed, has been phenomc-
nally favorable, and the present crop
has been gathered earlier than was ever
known in the history of the country.
The cotton has been marketed with
great rapidity, which is due mainly to
the necessities of planters, to the in
creased facilities afforded for ginning
by tho erecting of improved gins, and
to the greater accommodations Of the
railroads which have extended their
lines throughout the South. All these
causes have had the effect Of swelling
the receipts beyond all former years,
the excess at ports being over 10000
bales as compared with 1888 and 1884,
the receipts i'll which years were the
largest OH record. From the cores
pondence above mentioned q fair cs-
innate of the crop of 1884 and 1885 can
be given. The dec rcase of Weld i'm the
| States of Texas, Mississippi and Lou
slana aggregates 2S5, 900 bales Tcnncs-
sec, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolrna
and South Carolina show an increase in
Yield of 1885, 900 bales. This leaves O
net decrease of3O, 900 bales, which de.
Quoted from the yield last year (5,713,.
QUO bales), would make the crop of 1884
and 1885 5,G83,000 bales.

The programme was of a thoroughly
interesting nature, and the vast audi

packed from the orchestra rail to the
rear wall of the amphitheatrc. Hun
dreds of persons entered the lobby,
only to be able to get within six feet
OF the inner doors and catch an occa-

on tho stage.
The Governor reached the Academy
of Music after the play had begun, but
when his presence was discovered the
entire audience rose to their feet and
the play stopped for several minutes,
the actors on the stage participating i'm
