Florida has a black eye. Tn,

Florida has black eye. The orange
crop is ruined. Many of the young
trees are killed and people are trying
to conceal it. Land agents swear that
1t is not so, but it is so. There is not
a sound orange left in some regions.
In all the famous orange groves the
ground is covered with golden frozen
fruit. These are facts gathered from
the best sources of information. This
means the loss of many million dol
lars.

Oil and Gas Notes.

An attempt was made to test the natural
gas pipe on Fourteenth street, yesterday
afternoon and evening, an air pump being
put up in the alley in the rear OF Neill 4
Ellingham's, and steam connection made
with the boiler at Pollocks mill Through
leakage it was found impossible to obtain
higher pressure than 20 pounds. The
test will be renewed this morning.
Matters are rather quiet in the Washing.
ton field, just now.
The product of the Lima oil field is de-
clared to be good only for the purpose Of

The strike Of nine men working on the
Royal Gas Co.'S pipe line in Steubenville
came to an end yesterday morning when
the nine men were permitted to 60 and 9th
ers we're employed to take their places at
the price for which the men struck. The
strike came about in this way: When the
men went to work on the Seventh street
ditch at three cents they could not make
full wages, the digging being so very hard
They were given four cents with the un-
lerstandiug that as soon they got into soft
digging or when they could make more
than $l.50, the old rate would be paid.
When soft digging was reached nine men
refused to work and quit, and other men
were put in their places at the four cent
rate.
The Royal Natural Gas Company struck
big flow in one Of their new wells in the
Hickory district Monday night. The pres
sure is tremendous, and the well is believed
to be the largest in the world. The line
between the wells and the river has all
been laid except 5000 feet This gap
could be closed in four days, but delayis
caused by q strike at the pipe works. The
gas goes to Steubenville.

STAINED GLASS.
The Invention Of a Pittsburger to Revo-

The Invention OF Pittsburger to Revo
lutionize the Business.
Yesterdays Post says q Pittsburg mar
has invented coloring for glass that can b
made st one per cent the cost Of the mate
risls now used. The mans name is Hosea
Hustled, mould maker, in McKees glass
house, who is genius in his way. he ia
eternally experimenting either with elec-
tricity or chemicals, aud has patented two
or three inventions. Knowing the great
cost OF coloring material used in the man.
ufacture Of glass, Mr.. Hustled commenced
experimenting with chemicals to stain
glass. He had gone 80 far that he hinted
to q manufacturer that he could pre-.
duce clear. bright ruby for one per
cent of the cost of the mixture used
in manufacturing ruby glass.
Bring me clear ruby glass and I'll give
you $4,000" said the manufacturer. "Tll
show you any color you want" replied Mr..
Hustled. In a few days he brought to the
manufacturer not only clear ruby, but
the finest and clearest blue, red, green and
nearly every shade Of color. The glass
was stained, and so deeply that not even
chemicals could remove it. Mr.. Hustled
had found method Of revo.utionizing the
glass trade. The secret of bis methods he
carefully preserves. II the method is oil
that il is anticipated to be, it will create O
revolution in the manufacture OF glass
tableware Thousands Of dollars have
been spent BY glass manufacturers in at.
to get colors, and Husted's in.
vention will be hailed with delight.

FIFTY LIVES LOST
In the COnflagratiOn That Destroyed
Vancouver.
THE TOWN COMPLETELY IN ASHES.
Not a Half-0ozen Houses Out OF the
Five Hundred Remaining
Standing.

New WESTMINSTER, B C. June l5.-The
City of Vancouver, situated at the Pacific
end of the Canadian Pacific Railway is in
ashes. Not half dozen houses remain
out of 500, and, worst of all, there is
large loss Of life. Ten bodies have thus
far been recovered, and number of per
sons are missing aud are supposed to have
persisted. One short hour did the whole
work. The property saved is Insignificant.
A clean sweep defines the situation. A
thousand mea are at work clearing up de-
bris for the railroad company. Twenty
contracts for rebuilding have been already
let. Many men lost their Oh, but are de-
termined 10 start in again.
The property losses fall directly on the
pioneer element OF the new city. Hun
dreds of people are camped out. There
are meagre facilities for the relief of the
sufferers, but the people Of this city are
especially open.hAnded in their efforts to
relieve the distress. Prompt aid from the
Canadian Pacific Railway is expected.
Families were compelled to abandon their
homes at q moments warning and flee for
their lives. Business men in search of
valuables were compelled to rush through
flames and smoke or perish. The whole
populsce were panic-stricken. A number
of persons sought refuge in the water.
One man was found IN q well, where he
had lowered himself to escape the flames.
Few Of the people have more than the
clothes they stand IN.
Ofthe ten bodies recovered only three
have been identified. Most of the burned
frame buildings will be replaced with
brick structures. Contracts for large
hotel and other extensive buildings, repre-
sentlng half million dollars, were let just
before the fire.
Fifty Lives Lost.
TORONTO, June ia Globe special
from Victoria SAYS that fifty lives are
known to be lost in the destruction of Van.
couver By fire. Fourteen bodies have been
recovered. Tne identified are John Cas-
we'll, Mrs. Nash, George Bailey and =
Fawcett. The Mayor of Victoria is for
wsrding relief in response to the appeal
for aid received last night and the govern
ment is aiding in conjunction. The steam
ship Princess LOUISE arrived today with
200 passengers, who saved nothing but
what they had on their persons.

THE PRISCILLA
Comes Out Ahead in the Great Regatta at
New York.

|
New York.
New YORK, June l5.-The annual re.
gatts of the Atlantic Yacht Club was
sailed to day and attracted more than
usual attendance. owing to the fact that
several of the contestants were large
sloops, one or more Of which will probably
sail in the international race for the
Queens cup against the English yacht
Galatea, later in the season. There was Q
long list of starters, but the interest Of the
day was confined TO three large vessels.
the Puritan, owned in Boston, the present
holder Of the Queens cup, the Priscilla,
owned in New York, and the Atlantic, q
new vessel owned by the Atlantic Yacht
Club, having been built with view OF en-
tering into the international race. Much
regret was felt that the new Boston yacht
MsYfower, which arrived here yesterday,
did not sail to-day. The distance was
triangular course of 40 miles, The day
was cloudy and threatening rain and wind.
An extremely capricious start was made
at l:30. The Puritan was first over the
line and she went away at great rate of
speed, followed by the Priscilla and the
Atlantic in the order named. In the out
ward run the Puritan had assumed the lead
a quarter of a mile inside Of the first three
miles sailed and the Atlantic overhsuled
the Priscilla. They passed the stskeboat
at Sandy Hook as follows: Puritan, 1896;
Atlantic, l2:42; Priscilla, l2:43. Their
relative positions were not materially
changed when rounding the stakeboat of
Scotland lightship as follows: Puritan,
LOG; Atlantic, lila, Priscilla, l:lS:35. |
Then came the boats to windward
HoNEwARD
in this order, under conditions OF q light
and puffy wind. The Priscilla showed her
over her competitors, both in
pointing and sailing, and she steadily out
footed them. The wind died down on the
Puritan, which had fallen back of the At,
antic, and she did not fnish. The Pris,
ella crossed the line at 5:5703,
and the Atlantic at 6:O854,
