Palace Cars Ab.aze.

The two watchmen at the Pullman
Car Works, Fcrty. first street and the
Pennsylvania Railroad, Philadelphia,
Pa, discovered flames in the frame
shops nearest the railroad at 8 O'Clock
on Wednesday morning, and attempted
to put them out with hand grenades.
The shop was filed with shavings,
light-seasoned lumber, paint and other
linflammable material, to which in a
few minutes the fire spread and drove
the men from the building. In the
meantime an alarm to the fire depart
ment was given, and the firemeu were
promptly on the spot. The flames had
gained such headway that it was i'm
possible to check them.
In the two buildings there were two
palace parlor-cars and nine sleeping
cars. -Four of the sieeping-cars were
got out of the blazing shops before
much injury was done to them. The
other seven cars were burned up, only
the iron in them being left when the fire
which were the property of tho Penn.
! sylvania Ra lroad Company, and leased
by the Pullman Company, were burned
level with the ground.
AT times the flames were within ten
! feet Of the Forty-frst street bridge
spanning the railroad, but 1t escaped
without scorch. The buildings consis-
ted of one frame structure, 40 feet
long by TO feet wide. and two brick
buildings, one 260 feet feet by 40 and
the other 80 by 95 feet. The loss on the
two latter was S6, 500, and the former
about 81 600. The Pullman COMPANY
had Its buildings fully insured.
The two palace parlor-cars burned
were the Sharblott and Octavia, and
the sleepers tho Kittanning, Camden,
Livodia, Humbret and Liguria. The
former were bay-window' parlor cars,
and were entirely new. The loss on
these cars amount to $105, 900, and they
were insured for S95, 900. The loss on
the stock ON hand was S25, 900 insured
for $l5, 200.
The policies were placed by Chica.
60 agent, and few Philadelphia COM
panies are interested. Two hundred and
eleven hands are thrown out of employ.
ment by the fire, The weekly payroll
amounted to "a, 800. The building will
at once be rebuilt.

Grant Still Improving.

NEW YORK, April 90 DIR. Douglas
said this morning that there were nc
i'll effects from General Grants exercise
yesterday unless 1t was in the added
fatigue that prevented profound sleep
during the early part of tho night
The neuralgia pains are abated to-day,
but the tronble at the base of the tongue
is at all times the seat of greater or less
pain to the patient. DR.. Douglas, in
referring to the Brazilian cancer cure
that is reported to have been sent to
the family, said that the Generals
physicians had had the preparation
nearly two months, but that it had
never been used because there was no
data at hand of It's efficacy, and General
Grant was not patient to experiment
upon. The name of the Brazilian pre-.
lparation is i" Alveloz," and it is the
juice of Southern plant. In conclusion,
DR.. Douglas remarked that the General
was, on the whole. improved to-day,
though he vas yet very sick man.
At noon General Grant and wife went

General with smile in true military

day. The Generals throat was exam
ined by aid OF the electric light and,
comparatively, was found better than
when last seen by Drs. Barker and
Shrady on Sunday. AS DIR. Douglas
was leaving he said, in response to an
inquiry, that the General experienced
some pain during the examination of
the throat, but otherwise he had suf-
fered no more pain to-day than yester-
day. The throat was much improved,
except at the main point.
The next consultation will take place
on Su11I1iav next, DR.. Douglas was of
the opinion that General Grant would
not go out to walk this afternoon, but
the doctor had not been gone twenty
minutes when the General and Colonel
Grant left the house and walked to
Madison avenue. At the corner the
General stood few moments and gazed
down the avenue and then slowly re
traced his steps to the house. The Gene
raj assembled the steps unnided, though
Colonel Grant was close at his side.

THE MOUICAN,

The report of the Naval Board appoint
ed to investigate the cost OF construction
OF the U. S. steamship "Mohican," is very
gratifying, and proves that while we have
no navy we have spent enough to buy one.
1t is much like those parents who pay for
their children's schooling, and if the
children turn out ounces or criminals,
the parents console themselves with the
remark: "Well, we have done our duty,
as we gave them an opportunity, and ii
they have not improved it, it is their
fault" So well was the "Mohican" be-
ing repaired that some of the timbers put
into her became 80 decaycd through long
standing upon the stocks that it
was necessary to take them out and re-
place them with new ones. The records
show that the total cost of the "Mohican"
in the various departments 10 be 1907, ,79S,
which is a mere song when compared
with what might have been. The Board
report that one OF the reasons for this
excessive cost is the fact that labor at the
Mare Island Navy Yard is some forty per
cent higher than the same class OF labor
in New York. In view OF the fact that
New York ship carpenters and workmen
are paid forty per cent. less than they are
in California, would it be unpatriotic
to ask whether or not the New
York ship builders and workmen
are after all but paupers? According
to Roach and the Republicans,
skilled workman becomes pauper the
moment he works for less wages than
some other skilled workman. When
Secretary Whitney rejected the "Dol-
phin" thereby causing John Roach to
shut down (you never could make John
shut up) and discharge some two thou
sand workmen, he did the American
workmen a great kindness, for as COM
pared with the California workmen who
were engaged upon the "Mohican" they
were pauper workmen. 1t seems that
after all the genuine American workman
is only found in California, where he re-
ceives forty per cent. more for his labor
than in New York. "Westward the star
OF empire takes its way"

FERDINAND WARD.

Ferdinand Ward, OF the famous firm OF
Grant & Ward, has been making state
ment regarding the affairs OF that con-
cern. The story OF his frauds and failure
is long and dreary, and about as clear
as any that has been given. Ward
entirely exonerates General Grant. 1t
is not so perfectly clear that some OF
the Generals sons were entirely ignor-
ant of the ways of obtaining profits,
for they had direct dealings with the
firm. When men borrow 100000
for twenty nine days, and at the expira-
ton of thirty-fve days receive profit of
$15, 900, less the legal interest on the
amount borrowed, in the ordinary course
OF business, they usually wonder how it
is done, ii they do not know just how it is
done. And this is what Col. Fred Grant
did, ii Ward is to be believed; and it
seems there are receipts to this effect.
The whole concern was stupendeous
fraud, and the full history OF it is not yet
known. When that history is known, it
may turn out that the firm OF
Grant & Ward was Credit
Mobelier on small scale, and
like the Credit Mobelier it may in
volve greater men than is generally sup
posed. The New York Herald, in COM
menting editorially upon the revelations
OF Ward, says that life insurance COM
pany and also trust company figure in
Wards statement. Insurance and trust
companies are not the special creations OF
firm, nor are they usually formed or
incorporated to aid firm, but are
utilized by firms as they find them.
A long list of the initials OF those who
stood behind Warner and shared
in the profits is given, and the
publication OF this list seems to have
whetted public curiosity TO a keen edge.
Two or three men can commit a vast
amount of fraud, but if some who deal
with them grow rich, surely no fraud has
been committed upon them. Fish, Ward
and Warner are not the only ones in this
affair who could tell, il they would, how
profits were lost and won The history
of the whole affair will be interesting ant
instructive, and should be copyrighted
by those who may write it, for "there':
millions in it,

SECRETARY MANNING has found it was
necessary to address letter to Hon.
Alton b. Parker, Chairman OF the Ex-
ecutiye committee of the Democratic
State Committee of New York, saying
that it is his intention to go to New York
to vote the Democratic State ticket, and
TO announce the fact that the President
desires the success of the ticket headed
by Governor Hill. Why anyone should
doubt the Presidents desire for the sue
cess OF his party's ticket in his own State
is beyond comprehension. Some people
are trying very hard to make out
that Mr.. Cleveland is not Demo-

tinue to roll their stone TO near the sum

where they began their task.
