ACincinnati Disaster.

CINCINNATI, July A.-About 4
o'clock this morning Waterman dis
covered fire in the second story of a
six-story shoe factory of Krippendorf,
Dittman & Co., situated at the north
east corner of Sycamore and New
streets. The alarm was instantly
given, but before the fire department
could begin to fight the flames they
had reached the elevator, and had
spread to all the upper floors.
Then began the desperate contest of
the entire fire department to save the
adjoining structures. 1t was a
great effort, but the firemen
succeeded in combining the fire
to the shoe factory. The
south wall fell outward, burying
beneath two humble dwellings on the
south side of New street rom which
the occupants had fortunately been
removed. The factory was one of the
largest and best equipped in
the country. 1t was engaged in
the manufacture of fine quality Of
womens' shoes and had machinery
valued at 100000. The building
cost $40, 900, stock and manufactured
goods on hand were valued at $l40, :
600. The loss on everything, total
making entire loss, is $4,000; insur-
ance $l61 900. The employees thrown
out of employment are $50 of whom
$50 are women and girls. The origin
of the fire is mystery.

WHO WAS 1T FORT
A Family Drinking a Bucket Full OF
Poison.

A Family Drinking a Bucket Full OF
Poison.
Last week Mrs. Chas. Stappen beck
and other ladies of the family living
at Mr.. Herman Stappenbeck's resi-
dence, No. 232 Blum street, were
taken ill, and their symptoms were
strongly like those following mineral
poisoning. They were treated by o
physician and were getting well. Sum
day afternoon the family all took their
usual afternoon nap. Mrs. Chas.
Stappenbeck, after arising and pre-
pairing for the supper, went to the
water bucket to get drink of water,
when she noticed greasy scum on
the surface of the fluid and her sus-
picions were at once aroused. Pour
ing a part of the water out in white
bowl, a green sediment settled to the
bottom. This she showed to Mr.. Slap
penbeck, her bother, who bottled 1t
and submitted it last night to q
chemist, Mr.. Chas. A. r. Campbell, at
Dreiss' drug store. He submitted it
to a partial analysis, and has found q
strong deposit of sulphate of copper,
"blue stone" in the liquid. This is
deadly poison.
When the poison came from or who
is the enemy who was thus bold
enough to try to poison the entire
family and in daylight too, cannot be
imagined but the matter Is being
closely investigated.

great exponent of British feeling and

land fairly and squarely in the free
trade ranks, especially after his Tam
many hall letter, concerning which
the Times says: "It would hardly be
possible to put the free trade case
more clearly or more strongly" The
Times also says that 1t is certain that
the arguments used by Cleveland are
the same as those employed by Cob

WHEN Senator Hoar charged that
Secretary Bayard had learned nothing
in relation to the fisheries matters
except the language Of the London
fish market he made bold, broad as
sertion unfortunately too true to be
in accordance with the interests of
this country. 1t has not before
happened, at least not since the
republican party come into power in
1860, that the administration of
national affairs has been dominated
by English influence. Four years
more of Clevelandism with it's fisher
les and America may as well hang
out her single as an English
