THE FIRE RECORD.
Burning Of the Extensive Shovel, Ak and Saw
Factories of Hubbard & Co.

Burning Of the Extensive Shovel, Ak and Saw
Factories of ubbard & Co.
PITTsBURG, April THE extensive AK,
shovel and saw factories of Hubbard &
Co., located at the foot of Forty-eighth
entailing a loss of fully a half million dol
lars. The fire was discovered in the shovel
factory about 1880 o'clock this morning.
and spread so rapidly that in twenty
minutes after the fire department arrived
the four immense buildings were in flames.
The two main buildings were each 326 long
by 60 feet wide, and the other two buildings
formed an L." each being about $50 feet
long and 60 feet wide. The build
ings were all frame, and, be-
ing more or less saturated with
grease. burned with such rapidity that the
most heroic efforts put forth by the firemen
failed to check the fire in the least, and In
less than two hours and a half the entire
plant, with its valuable machinery and
stock, was q ma IS of ruins. Only a small
section of what had been used as the Office
was left standing, and this was SO badly
scorched and damaged that it was in dan,
ger of falling at any moment. The wind
was blowing a stiff breeze, and it was
feared the adjoining foundry of McConway.
IOrley. q Co. would go also, but after a
noble fight the firemen saved it and pre-
vented the DANES from spreading
further. Mr.. Hubbard states that the
loss on the buildings, machinery and
stock will be fully $500, 600, and that 1t is
nearly covered by insurance, but in what
companies he could not state, as the in
surance was placed by a local agency. Mr..
Murphy, the general manager stated there
was an immense stock of goods on hand,
which had been piled up during the winter,
because of a lack of orders, and that $50
dozen of axes were boxed for shipment to-
morrow morning. The firm employed $50
men, who will be thrown out of employ
ment pending the rebuilding of the plant,
which will be done immediately. The
large plant of the firm at Beaver Falls will
also be forced to close down, as the stock
for the AK factory there is furnished from
the works in this city. The origin of the
fire is a mystery. Mr.. Hubbard stated that
no fires were burning about the works.

carried insurance of about three-fOurths
that amount. The building was occupied
by the last-named firm and was owned by
the estate of Edward. Lowell. The total

stroyed. The sites OF many of the inferior
buildings that will be a great improvement
over the old ones.
The loss of the Independent Presbyterian
Church and chapel, the Guards armory,

Young Lady Agriculturists.

Special 10 the Indianapolis JOURNAL.
PERU, April 1.-THE winter meetings of
the Miami County Farmers Institute in
this city closed yesterday with a phenom-
email attendance and an interest which shows
how fully they are awake to the Importance
of these meetings. 1t was the young ladies'
day, and the courthouse was filled with
fair women and girls. Special prizes were
offered to townships sending the largest
delegations. The morning session en-
braced an address, Does Farming Pay7'
by Hon. r. NJ. Lockhart, of DeKalb county.
and a member of the State Board of Agri-
culture; also short addresses by job JOcye
and Lewis Bond, of Miami county, and
John Cantly and L. Tyson. of Cass county.
The afternoon session embraced a lecture
on ''The Bread We Eat" by Mrs. Emma Z.
Ewing. professor of domestic economy at
Purdue University, and an address by Hon.
J. b. Conner, of Indianapolis. The inter
est in these meetings by housewives of this
city equals that of those from the country.
Various other measures were discussed.

Light Sentence for killing a Man.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELKHART, April 1.-THE trlalOf Ben Scott,
the wealthy Texan, who stabbed Con Crow
ley, a young business man, and George
Newell and James Smith, spectators of the
occurrence. in this city. on the 9th of last
August, came to an end this morning, when
the jury, after being out all night. SEN
fenced him to five years In the peniten-
tiary. The lightness of the sentence pro-
duces establishment anG indignation here.
On the day of the murder Scott approached
Crowley. and, according to his own testi-
money. provoked a quarrel, and upon Crow
ley replying to a remark made by Scott the
latter drew an open knife and stabbed
Crowley four times, from which he died a
few days before Scott was captured. He
also very seriously stabbed George Newell
and James Smith, who had witnessed the
affair.
Robbed the Cornerstone Of q Church.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CAMBRIDGE CITY, April IA queer rob-
berry was committed here last night. Some
person, evidently acquainted with the sur
roundings, took a crowbar and removed
the cornerstone of the Baptist church
from it's place in the wall of the building.
He was poorly repaid for his trouble,
however, as the receptacle beneath it con-
about S1.50. The stone was aid in 1864,
and its contents comprised such miscel-
laneous papers. articles, ETC., as are usually
Deposited on such occasions.

Hamakua Roads.

Mr.. EDITOR: Having had occasion
to ride over a certain part of ou
Hamakua Government road, and
contrasting their present state to the
nonentity of a Government road
heretofore, [ would wish to make a
few remarks.
Our district of Hamakua, Hilo ex-
cepted: is probably as serrated a
landscape as any on the Hawaiian
Islands-it is literally mass of hills
and hollows. A few months ago it
was almost an impossibility to drive
over the road for distance Of six or
eight miles. Now, thanks to the
energetic work of our Road Board,
we can easily gallop over our hereto
fore serrated hills and mud-bound
hollows, passing over them as vista
of the past.
1t is strange, but still an undeni-
able fact, that our road supervisors
in times past did not attend to our
roads; possibly on account of no
money or probably too much. A
year ago should anyone have allud-
ed to the possibility of a carriage
running over our roads, the matter
would be simply derided. Now, we
can ride in carriages or gallop on
horseback through Hamakua as
easily as on the Island of Oahu. We
can meet the energetic enterprise of
our Road Board with grateful thanks,
and we can also commend Mr. j. Z.
Mills (who has given much of his
unoccupied time to the interests of
our Hamakua Road Board), to
strangers and friends who may pos
sibly pass through our district, and
who may make remarks about our
recent improvements and our hither-
to impossible roads He will assur-
eddy tell them that through the ener-
getic endeavors of j. NJ. Horner at
Kukaiau. of W. III. Richard at Hon
okaa, and W. Horner at Kukuihaele
these gentlemen forming our Road
Board) has been consummated the
reality of a pleasant carriage drive
through Hamakua. Mr.. Mills has
had charge of most of the roads, and
should these gentlemen have full
power to act we firmly believe in two
or three years there would be no diff
fculty in driving a steam road en-
CINE through our heretofore almost
impossible district.
