The Pullman Palace Car Company Shed

JERSEY CITY, September "A disastrous
fire broke out at $40 o'clock this evening
in the Pullman Palace Car Company shed
in the New York, Lake Erie d Western
Railroad yard at Provost street crossing.
1t spread in all directions with frightiuI
rapidity, and in an hour had destroyed a
large amount OF property. There were
eight Pullman sleeping cars in the shed.
Two OF them were hauled out and the third
was partially burned. The otl er five we're
totally destroyed. They were valued at
$4,000 each. BY this time the car shed was
a mass of flames, which next enveloped the
strong brick buildings at the easterly end.
This was used by the Pullman Company
for Offices and storeroom purposes. 1t
was destroyed. Two buildings at the
western end OF the car shed vas also
burned. The flames next attacked the
freight depot OF the Northern Railroad OF
New Jersey, and the New Jersey New

MED a two-story frame building, with
long freight shed attached. These build
ines. with thirteen freight cars and two
empty oil cars, were burned. slX OF the

Making the Best of 1t.

LONDON, September 6.-The Times to-
day says: 1.-The Regency Committee COM
posed with; or without Russian partisans
can only hasten the day when the people
of Bulgaria, wearied and dispirited. will
abandon their creams nf autonomy and
welcome Russian domination as the only
means of escaping anarchy. The date OF
the entry OF Russian troops into Bulgaria
is unimportant in details. All that has
been effected by the union OF Roumelia and
Bulgaria is all enlargement OF u slice OF the
Turkish EMPIRE which Russia secures by
the operation.
German and Austria indifference proba-
bly, springs from consciousness OF their
inability to prevent the Russian advance.
The controlling powers seem to be making
the. best OF the unpleasant and unavoid-
able circumstances, but they cannot pre-
tend that the course OF events is precisely
such as they would prescribe were they
makers OF the situation.'

A PrOfane Parrot.

During our recent fire Loretta, Loais Va,
GERS well-known parrot, became alarmed
at the din and flew into the street. She lit
in the midst OF lot OF household goods,
where lady who had been burned out was
bemoaning her loss and crying sob, this
is fearful: this is fearful etc. Loretta ap-
peared to feel that way too; but owing
to her somewhat limited vocabulary she
was not able to sexprcss herself with much
variety OF language. She perched he self
on the lady's shoulder and remarked in a
shrill voice, that was heard above the
roar OF the flames and the cries OF the fire
men: ''Oh, oh, OH this is hell; yes, you
bet, this is nearly hell The lady immedi.
ately parted company with her profane but
