COSTLY FIREWORKS.
A BRILLIANT PYRoTEcHNIc DISPLAY
AT MILWAUKEE.

Three Business Blocks Entirely Destroyed
---Great Confusion and Damage Caused
by the Ignition Of q Laree Stock Of
Rockets and Giant Crackers---Over
$500, 900 Worth of Property Consumed.
MILWAUKEE. March 5.-Fire broke out
In the double f1ve-story brick building
occupied by j. Fernecks & Bro, 352 East
Water street at a. m. Saturday. Gold
smith & Co.'s carpet house, which ad-
joins Fernecks' candy factory, soon caught
fire and in few minutes was wrapped
in flames. Before $3.50 O'Clock the floor
OF the Ferneck building collapsed with a
laundering crash. The stock of nre-
works kept in the establishment became
ignited, and above the roar of the
flames could be heard the sharp de-
tonation of giant frecrackers and
bunches Of smaller ones as they exploded,
the kissing sound Of sky rockets as they
shot up in miscellaneous and confusing
fashion, breaking high overhead. The
fire next took hold Of the mattress and
feather establishment Of A. Weigell, ad-
joining the Goldsmith building on the
north. The heat became so intense that
the fremen had to retreat, and the build
ing, which was four-story brick, was
soon in ruins. The loss on the three
buildings will reach 1900, 1000.

WHAT THEY WILL DO
IN CASE OF A GENERAL STRIKE OF
BROTHERHOOD ENGINEERS.

A Complete steppaEe Of All Business on
Their Lines Threatened by Northwest-
ern Railway Managers IL Their Enkin-
eers Strike to support the Burlington---
No Change in the situation...A Striker
Killed by Guard.
CHICAGO, March GA reporter satus-
day called upon the managers Of the va
rious railroads to learn what course
they would pursue in case Of general
strike.
General Manager Chappell, of the Al
ton, said he had no intimation Of any
intention on the part Of the Alton en-
gineers to strike. All their demands
have been granted by the company. If
the brotherhood, however, should call
the men out, the company would shut
up shop and discharge every employe
whose services were not needed.
General Manager st. John, of the Rock
Island, said his engineers had no griev-
ance and If they struck it would be
wholly unjustif1able AL his company
could do in such an event would be to
quit business entirely until the engineers
saw fit to resume work.
superintendent Amsden, Of the Lake
Shore, and Receiver McNutt, of the Wa
bash, held similar views.

THE GROWN PRINCE.

Reliable Information Concerning His
Condition His Chances Of Effe
Small.
New YORK, March 5.--Mr. T. O. Craw-
ford, who obtained the famous interview
with Mr.. Blaine at Florence for the
World a few days ago, cables the follow
ing to that paper from San Reno:
came on here from Florence two days
ago, and have done all that could to get
at the exact truth concerning the situa-
tion of the crown prince. The villa
Zirio, where the crown prince is residing,
resembles beleagured fortress Ihave
not thought it worth while to send
rumors,. but have waited until
could obtain absolutely authen-
tic information. This 1 have from
a confidential but absolutely trust
worthy source. Tho present trouble has
undoubtedly developed into cancer. Sir
Morrell Mackenzie still remains here,
and will remain for period of perhaps
fortnight longer. Within that time it
will be made clear whether the prince
will live or not. l should say from what
have learned here that the chances are
nine to one against the prince. His fate
may be determined now at any time,
from day to day.

pan basis. Said he: s.The trouble has
been that mon without capital have
leased mines on tho payment Of royalty
on the iron gotten out Of the mines. They
would issue stock on these leases to the
extent Of about $l,000,00o, get their
machinery together, and begin work.
By the time they get large
output Of ore at Cleveland their
capital would be exhausted by
the cost of getting out the iron and
freight, and they would be unable to
pay the royalty, which is unually so
cents a ton? The party of whom the
lease was taken would then come in and
snap up the mine and the company would
go to smash. We have in the Gogebic
region the finest iron in the world, and
We can mine it cheaper than almost any
iron in the world"

A BRISK SPRING TRADE.

Indications Point to a Great Revival In
business Activitv---wheat Receipts
Continue Lsrge---Lumbsr Trade Active
---Twenty-six Failures for the Week in
the Northwestern.
ST. PAUL, March 6.-R. q. Dun &
Co. IS weekly statement Of the business
situation, sent East, is as follows:
Tho past week has wrought no partio-
ular change in the business situation.
1t is as yet too early for the bulk of spring
orders, but those so far received indicate
a brisk trade, the dearth Of business in
the country, during the past two months
necessitating liberal purchases by
the farmers when the roads
are fully opened. Jobbing sales
at present are averaging somewhat
better than during the same period last
year. Collections have not yet reached
point which can be called satisfactory,
and complaints are made in some quar-
ters, but on the whole there is an i'm
provement. Values on all staples with
few exceptions, remain firm. Wheat re-
ceipts continue large for the season and
stocks in country elevators are rapidly
depicting. An active shipping demand
is reported, largely for the use Of country
mills, and with the amount used in
local grinding there is no increase in To-
cal stock. The lumber trade continues
active and conditions point to exception
ally good results in that line for 1888.
The monetary situation remains un-
changed, there being fair demand and
fairly easy condition Of the market.
Failures for the week number twenty
six, of which six were In Minnesota, four
in Wisconsin, five in Iowa, three in Ne
braska, two in Montana, four in Oregon
and two in Washington territory.
