Heavy Losses.
New York, Sept. 5.--An afternoon paper
says: On Friday afternoon Blake Brothers s.
Co. mailed to their agents in Chicago three
notes for 5000 each. They were sent in the
ordinary mail and were not registered. The
letter was lost. Mr.. Brown, n member Of the
firm, when asked about the loss said that the
notes were mailed about o'clock on Friday
afternoon with hundreds of other letters. AS
the letters did notreach their destination, lie
had concluded TO advertise the loss so that the
notes could not be negotiated. Postmaster
Pearson said thHt'th he had no record Of any
complaint about tire loss Of tho notes, notwith-
standing the fact dhat Mr.. Brown claims to
have sent In notice Of his loss Yesterday.
While the reporter was investigating the loss
OF Blake Brothersi& Co.'s letters, he learned
that a number of other merchants had lost let
ters, and, strange to say all the missing letters
were mailed t5the New York Postoffice on
Thursday afternoon and Friday, At the
Grand Central Hthffon to-day a railway mail
clerk said that he had heard that a, Valuable
mail pouch was missing along the line between
Albany and Chicago, and that 1t was supposed
to have passed through the New York Post
Office about Fridayt In this pouch would be
placed letters fromithis city to Chicago and
other Western towns. Several other mail en-
poyes were seen. While the. Postmaster was
ignorant of tho loss of pouch, they seemed to
know all about It. Z
"Why," said one Of them, 'that is stale
news to us. A itluough pouch is missing be-
tween Albany iand Chicago, and we have
known of the loss for several days. think
that the pouch left Albany last Tuesday. 1t
contained large quantity OF mail matter.

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
Bolts Planning Mill Damaged TO thu
Amnunt of Q9O nm


Amount of $4,000.
n. G. Draper. an cmployc in Belts
planning mill, at the intersection of Thir-
tccnth and G streets and Ohio avenue,
discovered flames bursting through pile
of shavings near the furnace about 1880
o'clock last night. He at once began
TO pile heaps of sawdust on the flames
to smother them, and thought he was
successful, when pile of lumber near
by caught fire. An alarm was then sent
out for the fire departments, and this
was quickly followed by general alarm,
which brought out every engine in the
city. The mill was stored with lumber
and there were large piles of IL on Ohio
avenue adjoining the mill.
In q remarkably short time all of this
was ablazc and the fire created so much
hcut that the crowd that assembled was
kept at q considerable distance. The
large mill and contents of f. Il. Jack
son ON the south side of Ohio avenue was
thought TO be In danger, and il was
kept wet for fear that the intense heat
might ignite 1t.
Tho lircmcn worked hcroically, Pnd
in an hour had the flames under control.

mill, while raliing back the shavings

and he could not estimate his loss very

from Draper, and the building and con-
tents were valued at something like
s25, 900. The loss is estimated Mt
$40, 900 and IL is partially insured.

necessary, Referring to Mr.. Litch-
mans insinuation that political schcm-
ing in secret is practiced by officers of
the order, Powderly says no reply is mcr-
tied for the reason that he Powdcrlyl
is not engaged in any such work and
knows of no other officer who is doing
or has done so. Mr.. Powderly expresses
the opinion that Mr.. Litchman's course
will injuro rather than aid the Repub-
lican cause /: also that the general scnti-

Labor is strongly against Mr.. Litch-
mans course, the general disposition be-
ing to censurc him for his action. As

The Next Popn.

In view of the probable early demise OF
Pope Leo Kill, some of the papers are'urglng
the propriety of selecting his successor from
America, notably the New York Herald. Ii
is Of the opinion that an American Pope is out

of Canada" quite forgetting that America has
another representative in the sacred college in
the person of Cardinal Mazzela-a citi-

priest at Baltimore. fS.
ITO Catholic minds" says the Catholic

little discourteous, TO say the least, but In
Rome the matter is the exclusive topic Of the
nti-Vaticanists-if we may use the phrase
and has for its inspiration the enmity engen-
dered by the successful policy of Leo XIII.
Taking, however, purely human view Of the
question, we may say that Cardinal Gibbons
will not be the next Pope, for the reason that
unless he was in Rome at the death Of the
sovereign pontiff 1t would DO impossible for
him to attend the conclavc, aud without his

Tho Synagogue, ON Eighth street be-

Hebrews who celebrated to-day the first
day of their new year.
Tho services began at 0:30 this morn
ing and lasted until nearly one o'clock.

OF the church fathers, who's at each side

few not of the Jewish faith who were
there.

and Mrs Sondhcimer. alti. Mcssrs. kar-

The Sephcar also written on paFch-
mcnt. was taken out and read and re-
placed and then the Torah or Scriptures
taken out, unrollcd and a portion read.
After the 1orah was replaced in the
Ark and the satin curtain closed, and
during the singing of hymn by the
choir, the most interesting portion OF
the services, the surrounding of the

An old gentleman from the audience
assembled to the altar, his long white

him was handed the long, slightly curlcd,

and musical than would he supposed

the rythm echoed on the horn until the
choir with its modern pipe organ re-
placed the ancient instrument of re-
ligious worship.
The exercises closed after sermon
by Rabbi Stern with prayers and re-
sponses. Services will again be held
