Fire In Jersey city.


JERSEY CITY, n. D., August ID
A fire broke out at 4:30 o'clock this
morning in Michael Days barrel-fac-
tory on Warren street between Newark
and Railroad avenues, and spread to an
adjoining tenement-house on Warren
street, and then to twO-story store
house belonging to the Support Furni-
ture Company, of Williamsport, Pa.
All these buildings were destroyed.
The flames then spread to tenement
house on Railroad avenue, around the
corner from Warren street, and con-
tinued up Railroad avenue until six
three-story double tenements, occupied
in all by seventy-fye families, were
consumed. The tenants Of all the
houses were driven into the streets in
their night-clothes, and many of them
narrowly escaped with their lives.
Several buildings facing on Newark
avenue were badly damaged in the rear.
The total loss is estimated at $4,000.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

LONDON, August l3.--Mr. Francis,
a gentleman who yesterday hogsed
Pearce, Of the Glasgow ship-building
firm of John Elder & Brothers, for al
legged betrayal OF the formers daugh-
ter, to-day instituted criminal proceed
ings against Pearce. Yesterday the
latter explained the difficulty to re-
porter Of the PaIl-MdH Gazette by say
ing that the charge Of seduction was
false, and that the whole thing was but
a case Of blsckmail of peculiarly bad
kind. For this statement Francis
brings his action. lie says he thought
that Pearce had done him a wrong suf-
ficiently cruel in betraying his daugh-
ter under the guise Of friendship
without adding the insult of de-
scribing the family as blackmailers.
Pearce is rich Conservative,
and had been selected by the Tories to
stand as their candidate for Glasgow in
the coming elections. lie was recently
appointed to represent the British ship
ping interest on the royal commission
to inquire into the causes Of the depres-
sion Of the English trade. Mr.. Francis
is a gentleman Of respectable social
standing and is member Of the Gov
eminent civil service, being an inspector
of customs. The crime of which
Pearce is accused is one Of re-
markable atrocity. He beguiled the
girl away from home five years ago;
kept her secluded, but in luxury. in
London two or three years, until he
tired Of her; gradually he neglected to
provide for her necessary living, and
when she appealed to him for assist
ancc, through the laxity of the lunacy
laws and accommodating doctors, had
her incarcerated in a lunatic asylum.
Her parents here found her and took
her home. She had never been insane,
but had been hysterical when she real
lied that she was abandoned by her be-
trayer.
Miss Francis, associated with the
Pearce-Francis scandal, admits she was
intimate with Pearce, but says he did
not betray her. She has not seen him
for three months, and since their sepa-
ration she has been trying to earn an
honest living. She exonerates Pearce,
and says her parents only wish to black
mail him.

Experiments made under the direc-
State railways with various paints Oh
iron plates are reported to have proved
that the red lead paints resist atmos-
pheric influences much better than those
of brown-red and iron oxides. The
red lead paints adhered closer to the
metal, and possessed greater elasticity
than the others. 1t was also found
that better results were attained if be-
fore the paints were applied the plates
were picked, instead of being merely
scrsped and brushed. The test plates
were picked in muriatic acid, washed
with water, thoroughly dried, and,
while warm, carefully oiled.

A visit from Bruin.


One day last week several Of the sons
Of Mr.. Charles S. Lee, residing on the
Charlestown turnpike road, heard a
commotiOn among the fowls in his barn
yard, and upon going to ascertain the
cause they saw large black bear and
cub going from the barnyard to the
fields. They gave chase to bruin and her
young with such weapons as were most
convenient, sticks and stones, but the
beasts took to the corn-field, and when
more effective weapons were secured
the bear and cub could not be found.
Mr.. Lee saw his hunting-dog playing
with the cub without knowing what
kind Of animal it was. Where the
bear came from is amere matter Of guess
work. As it is reported since that Ma
ior ii. L. d. Lewis and Mr.. W. 7.
Milton saw bruin, it is believed she es-
capped from some menagerie.

A BULLPUP'S FIDELITY.
How Mr.. McGlone's DOG Saved the Life OF a
Nejahbor's Child.
fIsi,Iin nl nj, In Tir.,na
Philadelphia Tlmes.l

Philadelphia Timesl
Thomas McGlone, Of ll07 Locust
street, is the owner Of a bull-pup that
he is willing to back against the canine
world for intelligence. In the rear of
Mr.. McGlone's house is cellar twelve
feet deep. The entrance to the cavern
is covered with a rickety trap-door.
Several days ago the little child of one
of Mr.. McGlone's neighbors wandered
into the yard and was enjoying a romp
with the bull-pup, when it fell on the
cellsr-door. The door quivered and
gradually ssgged downward on its rusty
hinges. The pup saw the childs peril
and, springing forward, grabbed its
dress between his teeth and, bracing
himself, tugged with might and main to
pull the child back on terra frma.
The door continued to sink, however,
and the dog was not heavy enough to
support the weight Of the child. He
seemed to realize this, but never
wavered in his duty, and when the door
fell with a crash the dog and child went
down together. The heavy door fell on
the dogs back as he stood on the cellar
floor with the child lying between his
four legs. The child's cries and the
dogs bowls attracted the attention of
Mr.. McGlone, who rescued them both
from the pit. The child was uninjured,
but the dog was considerably bruised.
The pup undoubtedly saved the
child's life" said Mr.. McGlone, "and
his value has appreciated in my eyes
about 100 per cent"
