An Eight Hundred Dollar Fire on River
street this Morning.
The Exchange bell had just struck p
last night when the fire alarm changed
out four. The box was at West Broad
and River streets, and the Northwestern
end OF the city was lighted up by a big
blaze.
The fire was in a stable, and had been
burning for some time when the alarm
was turned in. The building was one
story and "a half OF brick. and about 2S
by 40 feet. IL was owned by j. Benjamin
Wilson, and was built against the east
end OF the Upper Cotton Press, few
yards below River street and a stones
throw from Farm street.
Five horses and two mules We're In the
stalls and some carts ana wagons We're
under the shed. a lot Of hay and feed
was stored IN the loft aud this
light material burned very rapidly. All
were got out safely. These two were
wagons were destroyed, ana only the
walls Of the building were left stand
ing.
The loss was difficult to estimate, but
will probably fan under $500. IL was said
that there Is no insurance on the build
ing. lt was feared for awhile that the
sparks might get through into the cotton
warehouse. and "a stream of water was
kept playing on the wall from the inside.
The stable was fayorite place for
gamblers and "druuks,' and 10 Ia thought
that some Of these set 1t on fire, probably
by accident.

The Customer Was wearied by the
Smooth-Bored, Bevel-Edged, Cheerful
Liar.
The BARRIERS were all busy during the
hottest of the hot days last week in an
uptown barber shop when a visitor
entered. His cheek bones were high,
his mustache was of the color of wet
straw, and his hair was plastered down
on his forehead in style that stamped
him from afar. He was on dress
parade and filed with pride. From his
highly polished boots to his brilliant
new tie he was respondent and new.
He staggered into the shop with the
air of a conqueror, and the foreman
rested the lather brush in his victims
ear while he leaned over confidentially
and whispered:
That's Charley; you've heard me
speak of him, hain't you?"
We'll" said the large man in the
chair, IF there is anything under
heaven or on earth that you haven't

Yes" said the foreman. hurriedly,
"but this here boy is the dandy masher
of the universe and is known all over
New York. Why"
You needn't shave off my mus
tache."
''Ah, there, Charley" catching the
visitors eye and smiling with a pleased
expression, ''how are all the dear girls?"
well. they're as expensive as usual, y"
answered the visitor, with an atfectation
of carelessness. Gimme light for
my see-gar, please"
Four of the BARRIERS left their chairs at
once to get a match, and four of the
customers sat upright in their chairs
and looked around with lathered and
expressive faces at the very popular
German with the blue necktie. The
expression of the face of the large man,
whose ear had been lathered. was not
kindly.
Charley" said the boss, whats
become of that millionaire's daughter
in Brooklyn that was running after
you?''

ter on Clinton avenue?"

fidential wink, II was referring to NJ.

said Charley, strutting up and down
with face that was adorned by look
of ineffable complacency and an unusu-
ally aggressive barber cigar. while the
large man rose up perilously under the
razor. and stared hard at him.
"How's the little actress, Charley?"
ventured the foreman insinuatingly.
(Which, the one at the Bijou?" asked
Charley, turning away from the mirror,
where he had been gazing with undis-
guised delight at his putty-like mug.
go, no, l meahthe one at the Casino"
80, l got letter from her last night;
she's sticker from way back"
Once more the large man sat up, and
when he lay down again his voice rose
plaintively:
Charley, you make me very weary"
The BARRIERS looked around in sur
prise, and the visitor ceased curling his
mustache and turned around.
''In fact, Charley" continued the
man, ''you are about the worst specimen
of a smooth-bored, bevel-edged and
cheerful liar that 1 ever heard"
Then the large man lay back in his
chair, and the shave was finished in
absolute|silence.-M Y. Sun.

Selling one of the straps tugged at it as

The conductor saw him and con-
