For weeks complaints have been coming
to the police of lot of tramps entrenched in
winter quarters in crannies and fastnesses Of
the cliffs along the l., B. & W. track west of
the city, near the old rifie-rsnge. Although
no particular case was traceable to the gang,
every petty larceny in miles around was
placed to their credit. About dark last night
another call came by telephone, and the pa
troll wagon started out with Officers Foster,
Mast, Hughes, Croft aud Wilson. Arrived
on the spot, a cave was found under the cliff
which had been walled up at the front with
great rocks, making a regular castle, irsc-
ces,ible except to the initiated or sure
footed caller. The interior was OF
capacity TO accommodate good-sized
picket guard, and was deserted, al
though the smouldering embers of big
fire at one side showed that it had not long
been so. There were remains of food, old
clothes and other ''man tracks" scattered
around thickly. With bulrs-eyes blazing
ahead, the squad of police began difficult,
wearisome and not little dangerous search
along the broken masses of rock, but without
result beyond fine assortment of bruised
shins and perspirlng brows. From the patrol
wagon, which remained in the edge of the
wood while he search progressed, the scene
resembled some of those described in Sir
Walter Scotts novels, the lights jumping
around like Will-o'-the-Wisps. The patrol
men. on the principle that "misery loves COM
pany," regretted that they hadn't two or
three reporters along to enjoy the jaunt with
them.

others were the suretes. This bond it appears,
was executed September Doth, 1872, antedatng
the appointment nearly two months. A second

The Threatened Deficit.

NEW THING IN THE RECENT FINANCIAL
HISTORY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
The estimates for five years back show that IL
IS not u usual thing for the estimates for eXpen-
ditures to exceed those for receipts in any one
year, and that the deficiency as shown in THE
STAR Saturday is really a matter for serious
consideration. The estimates for receipts TO.
the current year exceeded the estimates for ex
penditureS by $6,OSS ,6O5.75.
For the year ending June 3Oth, 1885, the es-
innate for receipts was sos. S74 ,695.O5 In ex-
cess; for the year previous the excess was S74-
719,S37.7S. For the year ending June go
1883, the excess OF the estimated receipts was
9,537 ,492.35 and for the year previous was
$4S, 445,277.72. Thus, in three years the
change has been from a surplus OF over sew
enty-four million to q deficit of twenty -four
million. IN addition TO this there is q def
cheney of 100000 In the post office to be pro-
vided for this year.

Destructive Fire I'm Chicago.
BUILDING WHICH CONTAINED 10000 STOVES
BURNED.
fire was discovered In Crbben g. Sections stove
warehouse n five-story brick building at the
corner Of Erie and Townsend streets, filled with
stoves. Three alarms were sounded in quick
work the building was a mass of flames. The
fire was u most difficult one to fight, as the
building was protected by iron shutters at all of
the windows, and the fGemen had grea: trou-
way through the roof, and floor after floor sunk
under the great weight of the iron stock. The
east wall was the first to come down, q portion
falling into the foundry building, which lies
next to the main building. The other walls
soon followed, forcing the firemen back to safe
positions. The wall fell over into G. g. Pages
Oil warehouse, long twO-story brick building,
in which were stored between 1000 and 8, 900
barrels OF lard oil. By the strenuous efforts of
the f1remen the flames were kept down. and
the only damage done was to the roof of the
building and to a part of the south wall, which
was forced out by the falling in Of the roof. The
damage TO the oil warehouse Is about $500 and
stock about $1,000. Several small frame
houses fronting on the alley in the rear were
badly scOrched The stove warehouse is five
story brick building, having a frontage Of $50
feet and running back 100 feet. 1t was erected
at a cost of $50. 1000. Mr.. Sc xton placed the
amount of stock in the building at 10000
stoves, worth nearly 100000. They were in
sured for about S15O,OOO. A large amount of
valuable wood patterns, worth S35 900, would
be a total loss. The machinery in use was ex-
pensive, and could not be replaced for less than
$25, 900 and was fully insured.
Only two accidents occurred, although dozens
of the hremen were often in danger from the
overhanging walls When the rear wall fell

fracture of the leg.

The Diamond Fields OF A frica.
THE DIAMOND VALUES

From the jewelers. Circular
1t Is estimated that during the past fifteen
years about $500, OOO, 900 worth Of rough dia.
monds have beee taken from the diamond
fields of Africa, cut and set. and disposed of in
the marts of the world. Their value after being
cut and set is estimated at about $500, 900 900,
which seems to us to be an excessive valuation
to put upon the product OF this one field OF Oper-
ations. Can any one give a fair approximate
valuation OF all the diamonds in use or known
in the world? What All extraordinary demand
there must be for these precious gems when
$6OO,OOO,OOO worth can be added to the visible
supply in the course OF fifteen years without
making any material reduction In prices But
an admiration tor diamonds seems to be inhe-
rent in human nature; everybody cOvets them,
and those who can afford TO do 80 are pretty
sure to possess them in some FORM From the
earliest days. and among all nations, diamonds
have occupied the first place among precious
stones and as they are seldom lost, the value Of
those In existence must be something enor-
nous. When We read Of one individual pos
sessing million dollars worth or more of these
gems we can readily imagine that there is a
fabulous amount OF wealth treasured up in
diamonds among all the peoples OF the earth.
