THE KNIGHTS OF THE ROAD.

Oh, days Of old oh, Knights of oldl
On, times Of blood and thunder,
When courage could be coined like gold
And gold seemed coined for plumber!
With pistols and tempered sword, -
horse and Silien visor,
man might live like any lord
And no one be the wiser. ~ !
The coach door open wide you fling,
Your purse, watch, diamond buckles
Oblige me with that ruby ring
That sparklos on your knucklcs."
You knock the post-boy from his ledge,
You pocket all the treasure;
Your good horse leaps the hawthorn
hedge,
Then hey, for town and pleasure
The good knight of the road to-day
On old tradition tramples.
His pistols he has put away,
Or carries thom for samples.
Dame Fortunes found in wilds no more
His ways have changed to suit her.
Black Boss has boon discarded for
A thousand mile commutcr."
No moro he stops tho public coach,
No lady's chair he rifles,
He does not stoop to purse or brooch
Hos far aboye such ,trillcs.
With sample trunk well loaded down
He sallics forth to plumber;
Attacks his enemy in town
And skins him worse than thunder.

this fact, that the Bill as passed the
House last session did not contain

fer transferring the Signal Bureau
to the Agricultural Department,
and they then inserted this section
as an amendment, it got back TO the
House too late to be acted on.
Now they amend by striking ont
what last year they inserted. As
the Senate has but little business,
and the House is not likely to de-

The Department Bill Through The
House.

For the fourth time the House OF
Representative has passed the Bill
demanded by the farmers of the
country, elevating the Department
of Agriculture to a ministerial po-
sition, and giving its head a seat in
the Presidents Cabinet. On Nom
day, Nay 81, The Hatch Depart
mont Bill passed the House by a
vote Of 236 to 10. The thirteen
gentlemen who immortalized q
themselye by recording their votes
against the Bill, will be found in
another column under our black
list. We trust their constituents
will let them hear from them on
the subject at the next election.
The rousing majority secured for
the Bill, is simply an indication Of
the universal demand for its pass
age by the farmers of the country,
and a willingness on the part of
members Of the House, to represent
properly the wishes of their con-
stituents. The Bill passed Non
day, and on Wednesday the Senate
Committee acted upon it and de-

Senate after amending It by strik-

BALTIMORE, Sept. 2.-At an early hour
this morning fire broke out In the toy
warehouse Of e. A. Prior g. Co., South
Sharp street. Before the firemon could get
to work AN explosion OF fireworks wrecked
the building, and caused the flames TO
spread with alarming rapidity to the drug
house OF J. H. Winkelman q Co., on the
north, aud the hat house Of M. y. Levy &
Co., on the south. Scarcely had the fire.
men entered tho odiflco occupied by the
drug house when the inside of the build
inG seemed to suddenly drop In, terrific
explosion followed, and the immense
building collapsed. The entire fire depart-
ment had by this time reached the scene, and
as the attention Of tho men were concen.
trated on the building under which their
comrades were buried, the flames had a
chance to spread, and spread they did
with frightful rapidly. In an incredibly
short space Of time tho entire block, run
ming from Lombard to Pratt street, was
seething mass Of flame. At tho drug house
the hremen worked b.avcly. Holes were
cut through the pavement, and every
effort was made to reach the imprisoned
men, but they were buried beneath Q
great mass Of brick and iron, and fierce
flames were roaring around tho spot
Awful groans came from the pile, which
seemed to make the working flremen
put forth superhunan efforts, and
after more than an hours work " became

and that they were being roasted to death.
John Kelley. of Truck No. 2, managed to
crawl out from ths rubbish, and Of the
men who entered the building he was the
only one to escape with his life He was
cut and bruised, but his injuries are not
serious. Il is certain that seven flremen
porished, and It may be that others were
with them when the crash came. The
charred remains of three Of tho brave men
were rescued this afternoon. The total
property loss will probably reach II 800. :
600, and 1t is pretty well covered
by insurance, most of which is
In small policies In out-of-town com.
pnnies The origin OF tho fire will prob
ably never be known. No fire was used In
tho Prior establishment, and it Is supposed
tina. spontaneous combustion was the
cause. But 1t Is known that a system Of
electric lighting wns introduced In the
building recently, and IL was only tried
last night, and 1t may be that defective in
suiation started the flames, and the COM
hustblc nature OF the contents Of the build
ing served az food for the destroying ele-
mentS. The fire was discovered by an in
toxicated man who stopped to rest on the
steps of building opposite.
