Destroyed by Fire.
LTMBER YARDS BURNING.

CHICAGO Sept. 25.-A fire broke out
in the extensive lumber yards of
Chas. S. Gardiner & Co., located on
south Ashland avenue, south of
Twentyosecond street, at / o'clock, p.
m. The entire fire department re-
sponded, but the flames quickly
spread and are now raging in the
yards of G. B. Flynn & Co. and the
John Spry Lumber Co. adjoining
with present prospect that the en-
tire contents, embracing fully %, 000,~
600 feet of lumber, will be consumed.
The loss is already placed at high
figure.
230 n.-The fire has completely
enveloped the three lumber yards
mentioned and their complete destruc.
ton now seems assured. Every avail
able fire steamer in the city has been
called to the scene and the efforts Of
the fire department are now directed
toward combining it to its present area
but with no certainty they will be
able to do so. There is q strong wind
blowing which aggravates the situa-
ton and increases the danger.
2:40 d. m.-The fire is now pretty
well under ceutrol and fear of any
further extension of the flames is al
layed. The present estimated loss
is 100000, 1t is we'll insured.

blowing fire breaks around it. A stiff
northwest breeze is blowing and the
heavy growth of grass during the
summer furnishes abundant material
for the fire. Reports from other points
west of the Missouri show the same
state of affairs, and unless rain comes
the fire cannot be checked, but will
burn over the whole country. 1t will
seriously interfere with the shipment
of cattle from here, and stockmen are
alarmed about the safety of their
ranges, as the winter feed will be
short should the fire reach them, and
heavy losses would result.

President Arthur In each annual message after

nent of the executive department, judgement
which he declared TO express the view of every
member Of his cabinet. In the daily acts OF the

OF congressman and politicians of the dominant
porty, with CT nsiderable following of office
seekers may, notwithstanding the vastly aug

ion, repeat the folly OF those of my own
party in 1874, by resisting the well matured
Judgment and definite policy of their own ad-
Tninstrntion on the reform issue.
II such is 20 be the fact this is not the place for
showing shy such an attempt would be far more
disastrous than the republican restoration of the
spoil system against the advice of President
Grant Such a course and the conflict ltwould
precipitate would be regardless of the good 10
suits of the cYil service act or Of any experience
