Great Fire I'm Buffalo,

On Saturday morning Feb. 2, fire started
ut Buffalo in the five story building owned
and in part occupied by Root < Heating
wholesale sole leather dealers, at the corner
OF Carroll and Wells streets. The ferocity of
the wind made it certain that the fire would
be disastrous one.
The scene on Carroll street was appalling.
On the north side of the street, the SibIey &
HOLLYWOOD building was in ruins, and ii o
Jewett building was blazing from basemel
20 roof. The large six-story building occu-
pied by Moffatt Bros, Hoffeld & Co., and
other firms on the opposite side, next to the
Root Heating ruins, were yet untouched,
but the corners of the top story soon began
to blaze, though the firemen held them in
check for a time. The walls of the Jewett
building began to bulge, and fell with a shock
that fairly shook the surrounding walls, and
before the cloud of dust cleared away terri
BILE panic took place. A frantic struggle was
made in getting out horses from q stable
next to the JeWett block The Broesel house
was abandoned to the flames, and ten min
utes later the front of the Broesel fell in with
a laundering crash, and the fireman in front
narrowly escaped. One fireman was fellad
to the ground, but a horoic fellow
worker rushed to his assistance and carried
him off. Despite the efforts of the firemen
Egan's whiskey store wasi in full blaze. There
was nothing to do but leave the fire to run
Seneca street stores of August Eys, and an
empty store adjoining. Fowler & Sons
place was filed with seasoned wood for car
riages. Adjoining was small fruit store,
and then came Sidney Sheph ard & Co. q
mammoth stamping works.
A number of fremen were at work in the
ruins at the rear of the Arlington hotel,
when the western wall of the rear extension
fell without any warning. All of the men
were out the way of the falling bricks and
timbers but Driver r. Marion, and John
Moest, Moest was struck on the head with
some ofthe bricks, receiving bad scalp wounds,
and being otherwise injured. Marion was in.
stantly buried in the ruins, and If not killed at
once his life must have been soon crushed
out by the great weight resting on him.
Part of the wall to the east went through
the American express barn, completely de-
molishing larg section of the roof and one
side OF the structure Thief beginning in the
Root & Heating building spread by contact,
or the force of the high wind blowing at the
time in all directions, but chiefly to the
northward and eastward. Wells street 10 a

and appalling chaos of brick, twisted iron
and an inextricable tangle of wires. The to.
tai area included the burned district is roug-
IL estimated at seven or eight acres and
the total number of buildings destroyed OF
Quilted at forty.
Careful estimate place the loss by fire at
between two and three millions, and even
this may be too low.

A. s. Gookin, cashier of the Manhattan
Elevated Railroad company Mt New York
deserted his post, and it is thought that he
has sought quiet home in Canada. The
company loses about $40, 900 by Mr.. Cook
ms departure, it is said, but the officials all
profess ignorance of positive knowledge on
this point. Goodkin did not appear at his
desk and an examination of his books made
at once showed him to be defaulter for an
amount in excess of $685. Gookin kept
four different pay rolls, and the method he
employed to swindle the firm was crediting
sums of money to names of fictitious persons
represented on the books as employees. The
greatest reticence is observed by all the Of
icials of the road concerning the speculation,
but many speak well of Gookin. The length
of time during which he was engaged in the
systematic swindle is a matter of eOniee ture,
but it is thought that it did not cover u very
long period. 1t was found later that Mr..
Gookin had not fed He was seen By a re.
porter and denied the story of his defaleation.
There is no doubt, however, of u shortage in
the accounts. The cOmpany's officers say
there have been some slight irregularities
There is disposition to hush the matter up

Gently the Peculiar People triumphed,
the enemy hauled down his flag, and
capitulated at discretion-or in other
words British jury formally
placed on record its conviction
that it was useless to censure
the Peculiar People any longer" The
mother questioned by the coroner said:

subject to ricketts,, had been i'll from

from commissions. The post-mortem
doctor thought he might have done
something for the case If he had been
called, but the jury vindicated the right
of the Peculiar People to their own
religious and medical notions. The
Pail Mall Gazette comments thus:
when once people are stubborn
enough to convince the ordinary man
that it is no use torturing them, then
the landmarks of liberty are enlarged.
Almost all our liberties have been won
in this fashion. The scientific frontier
between the authority of the state and
the rights of the individual is perpet-
ually in dispute, and it is only when
the individual defies the state to do its
worst, and proves that he is willing 10
take the consequence, and then do it
again, and to keep on doing it again
until the state gets tired of sending
him to prison, that the individuals
claim to consideration gains any recog-
milton. Every such victory gained by
men who put conscience to their work
is an encouragement to all who care
for individual liberty as against ever
encroaching authority, to pluck up
courage to push still further forward
the boundary line of freedom"

Testing Dryness of Walls.

Acurious device for testing the dry
hess of wall is described in Wiener
Bauindustrle Zeitung. The apparatus
for the purpose consists simply in
small sheets of gelatine, which are
made by taking the sheet gelatine at
commerce, selecting the thinnest
pieces, soaking them for a quarter of
On hour in water until they are quite
soft, spreading them out fat on q
creased sheet of glass, and stretching
them with the fingers until the folds
and creases are smoothed out and the
whole made as thin and uniform as
possible. The sheets are then thorough
ly dried in the air, the edges, which
are rough and uneven, are trimmed off,
and the whole cut into pieces about
two inches wide and four inches long,
for use in testing. If kept fiat in a
dry place these gelatine strips are very
sensitive to moist air. If wall is
suspected of being damp. y strip is
moved slowly over Ii near its surface,
but not touching it. If any damp spots
exist, they are shown by the curling
of the gelatine as it passes near them.
Although every one takes some inter-
est in knowing whether his house is
dry or not, this simple test is likely to
be of more practical use to fresco
painters and paper hangers than to
any one else. Both of these, to avoid
disappointment and lassA need to know
with certainty whether the walls and
ceilings ON which their art is to be- ex-
ercised are dry or not. aa their papers
and colors win often change on damp
plastering. In the case of wall of
masonry, particularly, plastered on the
brickwork, it is difficult to tell by ortii.
nary inspection whether the moisture
has dried out or net aad the gelatine
sheets may give the desired informa-
tion with such certainty and precision
as to be of great service.-Americaa

Minor Casualties.

Fire occurred recently in the basement OF
he large tenement Z Hester street, New York
occupied by twenty families. The fire was
quickly discovered by n belated ledger and
extinguished. 1t was found that an attempt
had been made to burn up the building. Bun
dies OF rags soaked in oil, fuses, and pack

pose. The police are investigating the mat
ter.
A most shocking accident occurred at
LeadviIle, COL at the mine belonging to the
American Mining and Smelling company,
whose superintendent, William Gleason, was
killed by falling rock. William Mallet and
Thomas Simms went down to the bottom OF
the shaft, 200 feet, to see about the depth OF
the water. After completing their eXamina-
ton they sienaled the engineer to pull them
up. As they started upward in the bucket a
piece OF timbering fell from the mouth of the
shaft. striking the unsuspeeting men on their
heads, crushing their skulls to a Jelly. Death
must have been instantaneous.

A young physician went to visit his
cousin, an army officer, out upon the
great plains. The officer was given
to practical jokes, and the young
doctor, being a genuine "tenderfoot, .
was a promising subject. One morn
ing the host gravely proposed an
elephant hunt "What," said the
doctor, ssdo you have elephants out
here?"
"Plenty of them," replied the host:
Preparations were at once begun,
and by nine o'clock a party of young
sters, ripe for the fun, were after ele-
plants. When about five or six miles
from the post, the doctor was sent
through thicket OF ''wait- a-bit"
thorns, of which he knew nothing.
Anticipating rare sport at his plight
on his return, the host sat on his
horse waiting, when he heard shot.
and was startled by loud cries for
help.
He gallpped through the glades,
and arrived at q small prairie open
ing of an acre OR two in extent,
around which the doctor was franti-
eally urging his pony, while anly-a
few yards behind was a huge wild
Texas bull in full charge.
All the manliness of. the host was
aroused by this real and unexpected
danger of his friend, and without a
moments hesitation, he dashed in
and fired pistol shot. In an in
slant the bull turned upon him. His
large American horse was unequal to
the emergency, and in turning was
met full in the side by the horns Of
the beast.
Both horse and rider were lifted for
one instant into the air, and then
came down in a heap together. The
horse was dead without struggle,
one horn being completely through
his body, the other caught in the
bones of the chest. One leg of the
rider was between the horns of the
bull, pinned fast between his head
and the body of the horse.
When heaped together, the horses
body was on the bulls head, fasten-
ing into the ground, and most fortu-
nately preventing any movement, and
the rider, his leg fast, was lying ON
the bulls back.
Thewhale hunting party was soon
assembled, They were afraid to
shoot the bull, lest his struggles
might further injure the man pinned
to him. At last his iugular vein was
opened, and he slowly bled to death.
His horns were then cut off, the horse
lifted, and the now nearly dead man
carried on litter back to the post.
Though no bones were broken, he
paid the full penalty of his-joke, not
only with the loss Of d fine horse, but
with several weeks ofseyere suffering.
It was his last elephant hunt.
