Destructive rirs At Ano.a, asinn.

Nearly all the business portion of Anoks,
Mimi, was destroyed by fire on Saturday
morning. Tho flames started abouttw o'clock
in a privy adjoining Van Do Welde & Pages
roller skating rink, and when first seen were
spreading up the hill toward the high school.
The efforts of firemen and volunteers to mar
row the course Of the confagration were I'M
~availing. Every piece of wood, every box and
plank, fences, blinds and cornices were as dry
as a bone, and instantly. caught fire as the
flaming current approached.
The fire showed no signs of stopping as long
as there was anything for it to feed on, and it

As Anoka now looks there is a wide level gap
from the bridge north to the court house, ex-
cept the standing ruins of the First National
Bank, the Opera House block and the tall,
round chimney of the Lincoln mill. A rough
estimate Of the figures foot up us follows:
Buildings burned, So; loss on buildings, $341,-

buildings $191 $50; insurance on contents, Sl24,-

A somnambul,st's Danger.

Tho Cleveland Leader Of Monday says:
While one of the through expresses was stand
ing in the Union Depot last night an old gentle
man in partial dishabille climbed down from
one of the steps of the sleeper, and started to
walk across the tracks. His eyes were open,
but glared vacantly akout, although he appar-
emily picked his way toward the stairs leading
out of the depot. He had walked about half
way across the track when a young man rushed
out OF the car and caught him by the arm. The
younger gentleman was minus his coat and
shoes, and his toilet had evidently been a hasty
one. He led the old gentleman back to the car,
which he entered without a word. '.Father is
a somnambulist," explained the young man,
as he stepped from the platform of the car,
"and% frequently walks in his sleep. He re-
quires constant attention while travelling and
it is never safe to leave hin alone even at
home. he had jnss lain down in his berth
without completely preparing for the night,
and l had almost fallen asleep myself. He is
just as likely to wander out Of the car and down
and off the steps when the train is in motion as
he is when it is standing still. But few pas-
sengers were in the depot at the time, and the
occurrence was not noticed by more than a half
dozen.

SECRECY OF GREAT CITIES.
One Half the People Know Very Little
About the Other HALF.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Much surprise has been expressed that
the employees of Scovil should have
known nothing of his ways of life; that
he should have lived as a rich nan for
years without attracting suspicion. But
there is really nothing astonishing in
this, for in all great cities similar things
are continually going on. Business men
as a rule seldom meet their employees
out of business hours, and have no
knowledge Of, their mode or scale ofliv-
ing. And there are many cases on rec
ord of defaulters, forgers and embez.
zlers who, though maintaining
costly establishments on their
stolen funds, have kept up for many
years successfully appearances which
ought to have challenged suspicion.
Two of the most prominent of these
cases are those of Robson and Redpath,
the English railway forgers. Both OF
these men, though clerks on compare
lively small salaries, lived most lux
u~riously. Both of them gave costly
entertainments, kept horses and car
riages, had town and country houses,
subscribed literally to charities, and in
a word did everything they could do to
attract attention and gain notoriety.
Yet though their profuse style of living
had been going on for years, their en-
ployers knew nothing of it until other
circumstances had aroused their sus-
picions. Robson was the first to be
caught, and the disclosures following
his arrest naturally caused uneasiness
among railroad directors generally.
It was while this uneasiness prevailed
that one day a certain peer was stand
ing on the platform at a Great North
ern Railway station, talking to the
chairman of the company. just then
Redpath passed and bowed to bis chair.
man. The peer sprang forward and
shook hands warmly with the subordi-
nate. This surprised the chairman,
who asked the peer, What do you
know of our clerk?" The reply was
"He is a capital fellow, and gives the
best balls and entertainments in Lon
DON" That set the chairman thinking,
and the result was the discovery thai
this brilliant entertainer, patron O
literature and the fine arts, and gener.
Gus philanthropist, had by forgery
stolen about 81, SOC, 900 from the com.
pany. But it wa by the merest acct
dent that the facts were brought tt
light, and so it has been in plenty o
other cases. The fact is that in grea
cities few people knew what theil
neighbors are doing and most are too
busy to trouble themselves with in
quiries. The world may be very small
as it has been the fashion to say of lat
years, but great cities still afford con
ditions of concealment so complete tina!
it is necessary to elaborate precautions
The greater the population the create
the obsecurity for the majority of TIN
individuals composing it, is the rul
which governs all such cases. and which
explains what to the unobserving seem
remarkable.

A watchman's Remarks.

"It's curious, (" said the watchman at
the Reynoldsville end of the railroad
bridge to McKeesport News reporter
the other evening, "it's curious to watch
the actions of people when they get
~caught on the bridge. The men gen.
orally keep pretty cool and just step on
one of the piers, where there is plenty
of room; or, if the train is pretty close,
they stand on that iron girder that runs
Just outside the ties. But some men
get SO scared that they seem to lose
their head and don't know what to do,
and will run ahead of the engine nearly
the whole length of the bridge-which
they a do very easily as the trains run
very slowly over the bridge-but they'd
run as if every minute would be their
last and they'd sit down here. all out of
breath, and say, "Great Heavens! that
was pretty close, wasn't itY Now, if
they kept their wits about them and
got on one Of the piers, they might have
saved themselves the run. And the
women! They drive me nearly wild
every evening. Some women don't
seem to have any more idea
how to take care of themselves than a
baby, and they ought to be treated like
one. The first thing a woman does
when she sees a train coming on the
bridge is not to do anything except to
stand as still as if they had the paraly-
sis ,and squeal like drowning rat. And
then ifsome man isn't near to take care OF
them and they are out Of my calling dis
tance, they do like some men take to their
heels and run in front of the engine to
the end of the bridge, and as they can't
run as fast az a man, why, the engi-
neer has to slow up and that makes
him mad. so between us the woman
don't get mnch sympathy. And then
we have q great deal Of trouble with
children that wander away from home
and wander across the bridge. People
living close to the bridge should be
careful of their children, for nearly
every night there are three or four lit
tie bits Of tads come wandering across
here and they are liable to get n ovel
almost anytime, for business is picking
up on the road and trains are numer
GUS. Well, I have to light lamps

you get caught get onto the piers"
