Firas During .Julv.


Chief Parris,:o of the fire department., re.
ports that during July there were four
alarms for fires. The estimated loss was
45,4OO, with an insurance OF $45, 400,
against loss of $4,065, with insurance of
$3.50 for the preceding month, and loss
Of $101 ,430, covered by 'an insurance Of
$40, ,0S0 for the corresponding month Of the
preceding year. Fire Marshal VIM. o.
Drew inspected seventy-four grocery stores
in regard to the storage OF combustible
material, and the sale Of infammable and
low grade of oils. Sixty.eight samples
taken were found to be not test proof. Fire
Marshal Drew's report, which accompanies
the chiefs, says: "This is the smallest
number of fires for any month since the
organization Of the District government In
1871, and while the loss runs up into the
thousands, 1t is not half the loss Of the cor
responding month Of last year, which
footed up to the round sum OF $l0l, ,000."

be made with the Wistar committee, and
the stock gave way sharply after the first
slight advance In the early morning. Con-

Union Pacific, and notwithstanding the ofli-
clal denlals, all the stocks interested con-
tinued firm. The news from the corn belt
was favorable to-day, aud under this inliu.
ence, with the encouraging utterances OF the
Chicago people, the grangers were held
firm against the large offerings Of stock.
Before noon the market had become dull
and listless with heavy undertone, and
this state Of affairs continued until the
close, which was rather heavy. The best
prices were made in the first half hour and
the lowest in the last half hour.
There was furry In money toward the

A NEW PROPELLER.
Its Advantages over the Old Patterns
Demonstrated,

Demonstrated,
An invention attracting great deal Of
attention at the navy yard here is new
propeller invented by Alexander Vogel-
sang, who visited this city from New York
few days ago. One Of his propellers
has been put on the Black Jack, steam
launch at the navy yard. 1t is twenty-seven
inches In diameter, and replaces a regular
navy propeller thirty-six inches In diameter.
Notwithstanding this decrease In diameter,
the new propeller is claimed to have in
creased the speed Of the launch 25 per cent.
The extra power is gained by the arrange
ment Of the blades Of the propeller. In all
old patterns the blades are uniformly placed
on the cog, so that In revolving each blade
presses the water already disturbed by the
blade Immediately before 1t. This nat
urally decreases the resistance and increases
what is known as the ''slip," or the amount
of power which is lost by the blades work.
ing In disturbed water. To overcome this
Mr.. Vogelsang has arranged the blades OF
his propeller to bend outward on opposite
sides alternately. This gives the pro-
peller the extra power which increases
as the steam pressure increases, which with
the old style propeller Is not the case after
q high pressure is reached because OF the
slip or power that is lost by the manner In
which the blades work in the water This
''slip" reaches as high as 40 per cent. at
high pressure, which Is the loss on the en-
tire power expended, whereas with tho
Vogelsang propeller at the, same pressure
only ~ per cent. is lost.

will have one OF It's citizens out at the
proper time, and King George ddheres to
Barbour Notwithstanding his published dec
lination. Gen. Lee is about fifteen votes
ahead OF any one OF his competitors 80 far,
hut he has not oue.half of majority Of the
convention. The fact that he was defeated
at the primaries In Alexandria and the
county, where he was born and where his
ancestors have lived, will tell against him
in the convention. Moreover, he has never
had the slightest experience 10 politics, is
not man OF any business ability, ana has
as bis only recommendations his name
and a genial manner. He will be OPP
posed In convention by many who, while
liking him personally, are getting tired OF
giving all the offices TO the ''hrst families"
without regard TO their qualifications. Even
old Alexandria, with its many blue.blooded
residents, has become tired OF that sort OF
thing; has rejected Gen. Lee and chosen as
it's representative ayoung, pushing business
man. Mr.. Hume's name will be power In
the convention. In the event OF deadlock
his chances for the nomination are good,
and in any case he will have great influence
in naming the candidate. He certainly
will not name Lee. 1t may be Meredith or

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The Chicago pool roads, 1t
was openly admitted today, have begun cut
ting the east bound freight rates, aud three or
four of them are vigorously fighting each other
for the traffic. The Lake Shore Is charged
with being the aggressor, and last week secured

This week 1t and the Fort Wayne road have
been rivaling each other, and between them
have cut the grain rate iour cents and the pro.

The refusal to take the Chicago and Atlantic

the causes leading 10 the break.
