DEVASTATING FLAMES
Get in Their Work to the Extent Of 100000
in Chicago.
The Extremely Dry Weather of the Past
Week Had Prepared the Buildings
So As to Make Excellent
Food For the Fire.

CHICAGO, July 20.-Late tonight three
successive alarms turned in from the south
western portion of the city, heralded FIRE
which, according to the latest estimates, has
destroyed upwards OF 100000 of property,
1t was nearly IL O'Clock when the buildings
of the Wells & French Car and Bridge Com
paQy were discovered to be on fire. Engines
were quickly on the spot, but the hot, dry
weather of the past week had rendered the
buildings such excellent food for the flames
that the efforts of the fremen were almost
without avail. The flames, already started,
would not be daunted by the dozen streams
of water turned on them and licked up
everything in their path. The
works of the company comprise several
buildings, situated at the corner of Twenty
second and Paulina streets. At the hour of
midnight all of these, together with their
contents, were total loss. In one building
was stored wood and other material for 800
cars. This was one of the first destroyed,
The fire is believed to have had is origin m
spontaneous combustion, as its source has
been traced to a cupboard where refuse from
the paint shopwas kept. At this hour, 1890
a. m, the loss as above stated is thought not
10 be overestimated. 1t is impossible 10 as
certain the amount of insurance carried.

WAsHINeroS, July 2O-The Democrat who
is disappointed by the present sdministra-
tieE, in voting for it purpOsely deceived him
self Mr.. Cssveland's record as Governor of
New York was before the world, yet, while
all this ras as daylight, it is curious fact
that the average Democrat kept in ignorance
of thecampaign's philosophy as expounded
by the political life and letters of the Chi
eago rsominee. Mr.. Cleveland's nomination
was IN response to demand from disguised
Republicans for candidate with whom to
beat Blaine. What the. President did before
Chicago and his subsequent writings were
not campaign metaphors, nor do i see
anything in the outlook 10 encourage
me to believe the hopeful Demo
cratic declaration that the Republicans
must go. The Presidents convictions on
that subject are emblazoned in a covenant
with Curtis, and he will never desert them.
So far as the civil service law is concerned,
he stands out as a defender of the faith. The
Republican incumbents of Office will be given
the advantage of every doubt and the

ued The ''spOils system" will be destroyed
and an Office-holding class built upon its
ruins Under the auspices of party claim

commission unknown to the Constitution
and abhOrrent alike to sam Randall and
John A Logan. This is the exact state of
affairs, and the Democratic party will find it
impossible TO escape from the disastrous con-
sequences.

What will be the result when Congress
meets? Ask Slade, or apply by letter to the
Banner of Light. The members of that body
are universally characterized by universal
disinclination to talk. But that the Demo-

be jealous of its rights, and submit TO no
such humiliation as individual members
have latey experienced.

THE NEW STAR.

The remarkable eighth magnitude star in the
great nebula of Andromeda, whose sudden ap
pearance has just been announced by DR.. Hartwig,
of Strasburg, seems to have one exact counterpart
in astronomical history. On May IS, 1859,
Auwers discovered bright star-certainly in
visible three days before-in the nebua so Messier.
In this case the new star grew rapidly fainter and
had vanished by June 10, no trace of it having
since been seen. These mysterious and startling
phenomena have an especial interest from their
possible bearing on Laplace's theory that suns
and planets have been slowly formed by the con-
densation of nebuar matter.
