a Condensed Romance of Love and
Life Insurance.

A tale laden with pathos and the aro-
ma of frontier facts comes to us from the
west. Avirtuous and industrious though
poor young man courted the daughter of
a bloated aristocrat. The latter heaped
insults and indignities upon the young
man, though his daughter loved him.
One day as the young man was upon the
streets cry of horror arose, and dashing
towards him came a maddened steed,
while with blanched face the hloated
aristocrat, whose daughter he loved. sat
powerless in the fated vehicle The
brave young man saw his opportunity.
Rushing toward the maddened steed he
flung his arms in the air, shouted aloud
and threw his hat at him. The madden
ed steed dashed the buggy against a
lamp post, flung the bloated aristocrat
out of it and broke his neck. The poor,
but virtuous, young man is now married
to the dead aristocrat's daughter, and
they are living comfortably off of the
life insurance. Go thou and do likewise

What Miss Cleveland Talks About

Washington Letter in Pittsburg Gazette.
Pray, what do ladies find to think

fine-looking army officer who has been
doing guard duty in Washington for the
past seventeen years. The remark was
addressed to the assembly, but it was ta-
ken up by Miss Cleveland. "Fhey can
think of the heroic deeds of our modern

finding that this lady takes no apparent
interest in their enterprise, are thinking
of changing its name also, The name
Garfield does not seem to have brought
good fortune to a worthy and much

der why an institution which was inten-
ded to be the most enduring monument
to the deceased President should receive
no encouragement from Mrs. Garfield,
who was given fortune OF nearly half q
million of dollars because her husband
was shot while holding the Office of Pres

friends.

Social Rivalry in Washington.

Boston Traveller.
The Stanfords, of California, are likely
to be formidable rivals to the Millers in
the social line, when once they get set
tied here. The MilIers have entertained
magnifciently for the past three years,
and like the Staafords, when they came
here they had only short time previ-
ously buried an only son. But after
their daughters debut they went into
social matters and have since led the
Pacific Coast hospitalities. The Stan
fords deeply mourn their only child, and
will not probably entertain much for the
present. They intend to get big house
just as soon as they can be suited. The
immense wealth of these two families
naturally turns attention to them and
they are moreover well adapted to crafty
it, and their own hospitable notions as
well.

MILLIONS BURNED.
destructive Fire in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, February 10. = A
destructive fire is now burning fiercely
on Chestnut street, between Second and
Front streets, locality devoted entirely
to large warehouses and business houses.
Three buildings are now in flames.
Several persons are believed to have
been killed and injured.
Later-The fire is spreading. 1t now
extends from the Corn Exchange to
Letitia street, about half block of very
valuable buildings. The Corn Exchange
National Bank, on the corner OF Second
and Chestnut streets, caught fire and is
burning in the upper stories. The flames
have crossed Chestnut street, and many
large business houses on the other side
are in imminent danger. The fire
originated in the five story brick struc-
ture at 125 Chestnut street, occupied by
Stephenson & Co., Getz & Stratton,
Richard A. Blythe and Garside 81 Co..
dealers in cotton and wool. After the
fire was discovered and the flames had
burst from windows in front, three up
per stories fell out and crashed down
into the street. The loud noise thus
made caused a rumor that an explosion
had also occurred, but it is not yet
known whether or not there were any
explosives in the building. When they
fell laborer engaged in removing a
safe from the adjoining building was
buried by falling bricks and instantly
killed. A horse attached to the hose
cart standing in front of the building,
was also killed. The flames spread rap
idly to buildings on the east, and
numbers 123 and 121, Chestnut street,
were enveloped in flames. The former
building was occupied by Irvine,
Beatty & Co., dealers in worsted
yarns, and the latter by George H. Nc
Fadden & Co., cotton dealers.
1030-A fire alarm has just sounded.
AT Ills a. m. the firemen
are confident that they have the
fire fully under control and it
cannot spread further. The losses are
very heavy.
Nine large business houses were
almost completely burned out, six were
damaged, and others incurred losses
which many thousand dollars will not
repair. The Corn Exchange bank is in
great danger as the fire is still burning.
A complete square on Letitia street has
burned already.
The loss thus far is roughly estimated
John McCourt, fireman, has since
died from his injuries. A body taken
from the ruins, and which was sup
posed to be that of Joseph Blyler,
has since been identified as
that of Thomas Marshall, q
drayman who was in the
building where the fire originated
at the time the wall fell Blyler was
also in the building just previous to
the falling of the wall, but escaped.

Tue British Parliament.

q LONDON, February BIN Parliament,
Gladstone, replying to certain interro-
gatories about governments conduct in
Egypt, said: The present situation did
not allow government to make over
lures to Ell Mahdi because such over
lures might defeat their own object.
Sir Stafford Northcote followed the
Marquis OF Harrington and the Prime
Minister, saying he would defer the
discussion, and merely take occasion at
the present time to pay tribute to
Gen. Gordon. Sir Stafford Northcote
gave notice that he would move, on the
earliest day possible, which he hoped
would not be further off than next Mon
day, that an humble address be pre-
scented Her Majesty, the Queen. repre-
senting that the course pursued by the
present liberal government in regard to
Egypt and the Soudan had in
lives and of very heavy expenses,
without any beneficial results (cheers)
rendering it imperatively necessary to
the interests of the British empire and
the Egyptian people, that government
should distinctly recognize and take de-
cided measures to fulfill the respons-
hOW W
insure good stable government in Egypt.
and those portions of the Soudan neces-
sary for Egypt's security. (Cheers.) 'sH
Gladstone stated that the policy of
government to evacuate Egypt event
ually remained unchanged. He said he
had done all he could for General Cor
don, and was not to be held responsible
for his death. Practically the same
points were made in the House of Lords,
Earl Granville frankly stated that
government left it entirely to General
Wolseley to decide whether the British
forces should proceed to'attack Khar-
tounl at once or delay attacks until
later, say some time next autumn. Earl
Granville further admitted that govern
ment believed that Wolseley would de-
eide upon the postponement of aggres-
sive operations.
Lord Salisbury responded as follows;
If the country is not satisfied with the
governments explanation it will visit
bitter censure upon those answerable
for SO fruitless policy. (Cheers). We
do not propose to anticipates discussion
which must inevitably come later on,
but we must hope England will not re-
tire from Egypt leaving no record of our
presence there except the mischief done
and the bones of our soldiers.
Gladstone, replying to request from
Sir Stafford Northcote, said he would
name tomorrow for discussion Of the
proposed vote OF censure.

is little doubt that his name will be
