FIRE ON COMMERCIAL STREET.
stores Quilted and q Building Prac-
ticaIIy Ruined.

At shortly after nine o'clock last evening,
Officer McDonough discovered flames issuing
from the rear of the two story wooden build
ing ON Commercial street next to the new
LYMAN Block. The officer Immediately pull
ed in an alarm from box % ana tne depart
ment responded with their accustomed alac-
rity The fire originated AROUND
stove in the rear of the STORE occu-
pied by |. S. Bean, wholesale fruit dealer,
and when the firemen reached the spot, they
fonnd both the store of Mr.. Bean and the
other Store in the building occupied by A.
Stenhenson. ship chandler, filed with
snol,e while volumes of dense smoke were
nonring from every window and crevice in
the building 1t was impossible at First to
oet any idea as to the extent of the fire in
side the building, but every exertion was
made to keep the flames from breaking out
The efforts of the iiremen were successful
for long time, but the increasing smoke
showed the fire inside to be gaining and
second alarm was sent in from box 27, and
the entire department was soon hard at work
around the building. 1t was long fight, the
fire sometimes seeming on the point of break
ing through the roof and sides of the build
ing. At eleven o'clock, however, the flames
had not gotten through to any great extent
and the fire was well in hand
Mr.. Bean had an insurance of $1,000 on his
stock and 5000 on fixtures, placed in the
agency of VIM. Allen, Jr., $3.50 in the West
chester company, land $3.50 in the Buffalo
German. The fire being confined mostly to
the upper stories of the building, the dam
age to the greater part of the stock was by
water. AS everything froze up, however,
the stock which was valued at about $4,000,
is nearly a total loss. Mr.. Beams books and
papers were taken out safely
A. B. Stephenson's stock was also damag-
ed by water, and is insured for $500 or $4,000
in the agency of w. D. Little & Co. John
Gulliver's ballast office and B. ]. True's ship
ping office were in the building The upper
story has been used as q rigging loft, and
the tar and grease were good fuel for the
flames. The building was an old wooden
structure owned by the OXnard heirs and is
about ruined.
When the second alarm was pulled in from
box 81 instead of from box % on which the
first alarm had been sounded many in the
crowd supposed there was second fire and
there was rush for Fore street. AS the
steamers were seen to go to Commercial
street, the crowd of COURSE started back in
the same pell nell fashion. Owing to the
cold, the crowd at the fire was not large and
those who did go had hard work to keep
warm.

THE Chicago Anarchists paper, the AT-
better ZeitaRg, is again assuming its defiant
tones and is justifying the bomb throwers
and accusing the policemen Of conspiracy
to murder innocent women and children.
The man who throws a bomb and slaughters
and mains human beings, it regards as
sanity and dOye-like in his innocence,
being indeed great benefaetOr to his
race.
Some labor organizations Of this land
are becoming very free in their sympathy
with the condemned Anarchists and in de-
nunciation of the court that convicted
them. We would suggest that they 80
slow in such business rs this, If they
wish their organizations to receive the
sympathy of the great body of the law
abiding people of this nation.

TIE MUSIC OF LIFE.

The pathway OF life reechoes with music
That's played by each wayfarer Fastening on.
Some strains flow in measures most plAintiVe and
cherries
While Others are Joyous as songs Of the dawn.
The harp that he plays Is the work Of LIES calling.
The chords are the features the world throws
around
They all may be broken or fragile or tuneless
And greatest Of skill may but mournful resound;
Or all may be worthy the skill Of an Orpheus
Or like the AeOliAn each impulse repeat
The player who smites the chords that are tune
full
May throw forth his music a. sad or n sweet
Wrong deeds and harsh words will run in q
discord
To CRATE on the car when the player lies low:
Good deeds and kind words win vibrate forever
In melodies sweetest that music can how.
Each note that the harp throws forth To the
bfeeZes
The world catches up and echoes again
TO make more intense the soul Of the music
To quicken the player who sounds the refrain.
If playing an angry and hate giving mcanirs,
The echoes will clAng on the chords 10 annoy;
II telling Of charity, love and OF kindness
They'll Tow on the chords In rapaurOus Joy.

THE COLIN CAMPBELL SCANDAL
There was once time when the Eng,
lish aristOeracy were held in such esteem
by the masses that they almost shared with
kings their supposed heritage Of the
divine right to rule But this elevated,
wise and dignifed nobility that once ex-
isted certainly have, instead Of letting
their mantle of virtue descend upon their
offspring, left them only their vices, if we
are to Judge by the many scandalous rev.
Citations that have, within the past few
years, been made in English high life.
Almost simultaneously, occurred the
charges of the Pal Mall Gazette, the
notorious suit in which Sir CHARLES
dixie was the chief party, and the COLIN
CAMPBELL scandal that now is attract
ing 80 much attention. Then there
is the Lord Observation-Disclosures episode
and various others of more or less naSti-
ness that make a bad showing for the
British aristOeracy. The masses" will
soon have very little respect for the
''classes" ifthis kind of business keeps up
much longer.
OF the parties in the present notorious
scandal, Lady CAMPBELL is q tall hand
some brunette, daughter of Mr.. BLOOD, a
Liverpool broker. She was married in
1881 to Lord COLIN CAMPBELL, fifth son
of the Duke of ARGYLL, and brOther.in-
law to the Princess LOUISE, Queen VIC
ToRIA's daughter. Lady CAMPBELL be-
sides being noted for her beauty has the rep
utation Of possessing considerable literary
talent and culture, having written book
called ga book of the running brook and
the still waters" besides many short sto-
ries and articles for the magazines. But
from the testimony addueed in the trial, she
numbers her lovers by the dozens and lays
MARGAREr of Navarro tar in the shade,
andmakes fit companion for her dissOlute
Lord.
The details of the trial were 50 filthy
that they had to be expurgated before iii
for publication. But enough has been
given to open the eyes of the people and
work q great influence in seeking reform.
1t is only by holding up vices and expos
ing them in their hideousneSs to the peo-
pie, that reforms are wrought Covering
up vices or winking at them never work
reforms
We have in mind one Of our esteemed
contemporaries whose editor didn't
publish any news about this remarkable
ease, but who only read it himself and
kept mentioning wonderful things about
