LOUISVILLE, March s.-The most dis
astrous fire in loss OF property that has
occurred here in seven years broke out at
moor to-day in the basement of Kleincan
& Simonson's clothing house on West
Market street. In fifteen minutes the
blaze had spread through the large stores,
leaping through the roof. Soon after the
roof fell and a little later two large sec
tions of the side walls fell. With one of
these the rear of FL. Strauss dry goods
house went down. A strong west wind
was blowing and when the rear of Strauss
store fell. sending a mass of flames upon
the loose structures in the center of the
block, it seemed inevitable that the whole
block should burn.
After a hard fight, however, the fire.
m en- gained control and confined the
flames to Strauss place. One fireman
was painfully and another slightly hurt.
Kleincan & Simonson's loss on stock is
$685. ,OG0, buildings $67, 900; the New
comb building, $25, 600; Strauss stock,
$40, 900; Churchill building, Sc, 1000. The
insurance amounts to about $255, PIT.

Have you any idea how many miles a
dancing girl gets over in a single evening?
| don't mean n more or less wall flower,
or m who sits out her dances-alone or
otherwise-but a real lover of waltzing,
who dances everything from beginning
to end, and looks almost as fresh at the
end Of the evening as she did at the be-
ginning. Tom-who is very fond of nav
ing all those sort of things at his fingers
ends-had learnt it all up. Some man
has been attending several dances with
a pedometer in his pocket, and he finds
that the average distance traversed dur
Ing an evening of twenty-five dances is
thirteen and one-half milesl If any girl
of ones acquaintance was asked to go on
an equally long walk, she would just say
it was impossible; at least, 1 know l
should; but somehow, when one has q
pleasant partner, good music and n good
floor in a well lighted room, one scarcely
stops to consider how much ground one
has got over. The average length of one
waltz is half a mile, while a polka is
three-quarters; and even the lancers are
a quarter of a mile long.-London Figaro.

ParnelI Receives an Ovation.

LONDON, March S.-A banquet was
given by the Eighty club this evening in
honor OF Lord Spencer. Mr.. Lockwood
presided. Lord Roseberry, Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, Mr.. Morley, Sir
Charles Russell and other prominent gen.
tlemen were present. Parnell received an
ovation.
Lord Spencer, in responding to the toast
to his health, congratulated Parnell upon
the vindication of his character against
attacks which in vehemence and wicked
ness surpassed any that had ever been
made against a living man.
In response to loud cries for a speech,
Parnell rose to his feet, and was greeted
with enthusiastic cheers. He referred to
Lord Spencer as the herald of Gladstone's
policy of Cancellation, and said his opin-
ion was worth more than the judgment of
a hundred mushrooms like Balfour.
Lord Spencer. after all his experience,
had acknowledged the truth of
what he himself had maintained.
that the only way to govern Ireland
within the constitution Is to allow her to
govern herself in all matters that do not
interfere with the well being of the rest
of the empire with which Ireland is in.

Important to Common Carriers.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The inter
state commerce commission to-day issued
a lengthy circular calling the attention of
common carriers to the provisions of the
amendments to the interstate
act, and urging hat especial care be taken
to avoid the violation thereof. Among
the declarations of the amended portions
Is one to the effect that no advance shall
be made In Joint rates of fares or charges
except after ten days notice to the COM
mission. and 40 reduction shall be made
except after three days notice. The time
in each case is to be computed from the
day when the notice Of change reaches the
office of the commission in Washington.
The transportation of passengers or
freight over continuous lines or routes
operated by more than one carrier upon
through tickets or through billing neces.
sarily implies the existence Of a Joint
tariff. In future all advances and reduc-
nons in Joint tariffs will be given publicity
as required in the case of individual car
riers.
Another amendment makes it now an
indictable ofense for any carrier to parti-
cipate in the reception of compensation
either above or below established rates for
transportation of any joint traffic what
ever. The commission Is required to
execute and enforce the provisions of the
act and it is made the duty of any dis
trict attorney of the United States upon
the request of the commissioner to insti-
tute and prosecute all necessary proceed
ings for that purpose.
These rules apply equally to Joint and
individual tariff. Regarding expert
traffic, the commission understands that
a through rate is determined by the addi-
ton of the ocean rate prevailing from
the point of export therefor. The inland
rate to such point of export is subject to
the foregoing regulatiOns.

The scene of ghostly experience has

Newspaper says h mate of a ship, name

companion, but returned ever more
quickly, declaring that he was quite sure
that a voice, not of this world, had cried
in his ear, at blows hard!' Another
went, and another, but each came back
with the same tale.
AT length the mate having sent up the
whole watch, ran up the shrouds him

spot heard the dreadful words distinctly
uttered In his ean:.

Which had got foul above the mizzentop.
Presently, however, he came back trem-

Everybody who has been to school
knows the Roman numerals, and they
are always used on clocks and watches.
What everybody don't know, however,
is that tho representations of the fourth
figure On the dial of n timepiece are
never made as they should be, according
to the arithmetics, for instead of being
" 1t Is invariably written I'LL. Just
why this Is done has never been reason
ably explained. Some watchmakers say
it is to avoid mixing up " with V and
vi, and that Is really the only reason
that l have ever heard. But nobody
seems to know, without looking at q

PTTTsBURa, March S.-A dispatch
from Butler, Pa, says: The inspector of
the Soldier Orphans home at McAllis-
%terville, Pa, hrs completed his report re-
garding the crazy boys at that %institu-
ton. The report is very singular and in
terestiDg. The boys were shamming.
They all confessed, to the confusion of
the wise doctors who diagnosed their
cases. The inspector has written the
confessions of t~wenty-four boys who
played crazy. Gus Splitter was their
leader and originated the plan. The
boys in their confessions say the motives
inspiring them we're TO have fun and have
their meals carried to them. Their ages
range from ten to eighteen years.

CHICAGO, March S.-The boycott of
Eastern trunk lines against the Chicago &
Alton road on passenger traffic, on account
OF a quarrel over the payment Of commits
sions by the latter, was lifted to-day. The
fight of the trunk lines against the Alton
has been long and bitter, and the surrcn-
der is looked upon as an inducement to
the Alton to withdraw the agents it had
stationed in the East and abide by the
action of the trunk lines Yesterday.

Yesterday he rode the whole length of

personal request to the president that
Gen. Joseph Il. Johnston be retained in
the Office of railroad commissioner, and
promised to ask nothing more of the ed
ministration. Johnston surrendered to
Sherman t%wenty-four years ago next

be gratified.
