One wise precaution on the part oil
Americans selling paying properties to
English companies will be to either re-
tain enough stock to continue in con-

feverish character OF the foreign in
vestment markets is portentious of a
reyulsion and financial crash sooner
or later, and when this comes good

Il seems that Mr.. Wallace was not so scrup-

fected the appointment of white man as he
was when q colored man applied for posi-
ton. Soon after Mr.. Wallace was appointed,
he announced that the coored people would
receive just treatment at his hands. We sup
posed he meant it. After much waiting a few
colored men were appointed as spittoOn clean

could be done "at the present." as the civil SER

SUFFERING IN ILLINOIS.
The Locked-out Miners OF Braidwood and
StreatOr Starving.


CHICAGO, June PA morning paper re-
ports the results of tour of inv estigation into
the condition of the mining people in the coal
mining towns of Braidwood and Streator, III.
1t says: 'The condition of Braidwood is one to
call forth the comisseration and the immediate
practical help of the people ofthe United States.
The normal population of the town is about
i've thousand, all directly dependent upon the
coal mining industry for their daily bread. At
this time not one ounce of coal is being mined,
and the inhabitants are at the point OF starva-
ton. Men, women and children alike share in
the blight which has overcast this section. The
fauses OF the stagnation are two-the eontin-
ned depression in the coal industry here and
the eliminating strike, or lockout which has
placed 1900 bread-winners beyond the posi-
bility OF utilizing their labor"
The reporter found that most OF the single
men and some of the married men had left the
town in search of work. He discovered many
families with six, eight or ten children, without
morsel of food in the house. Some who have
gardens are living on potatoes and lettuce.
Many have not tasted meat this year. Food
supplies in small amounts have been sent them,
but they are totally inadequate TO the neceSsi-
ties of the case. The article says:
There is pressing and Immediate necessity
for relief for these poor people. Not less than
5000 women and children are in absolute want
OF food, and relief can not be too quickly sent
them. At Streator, about two thousand five
hundred miners have been idle for seven weeks
resisting proposed reduction OF 10 cents per
ton in the price of mining. To date about 500
applications for relief have been received. The
relief committee states that many families are
living on bread and water and that there are
about 500 applications for help that they have
failed thus far TO relieve on account of lack OF

PERISHED IN THE FLAMES.
SERIOUS LOSS OF LIFE IN BOSTON.
A FOur-Story Building Occupied as . Fire
works Establishment Burns-Three
Dead Bodies Taken From the
Ruins-Several Injured.

Boston, June 21.-A disastrous fire, accom-
panied by serious loss Of life, occurred early
this evening in the fireworks establishment Of
Heyer Bros, at Summer and Hswley-sts.
Three dead bodies have been taken from the
ruins and three others received injuries which
will probably result fatally. 1t is feared that
there may be more victims among the debris.
The building which is a four-story brick
structure, is occupied on the ground floor by
c. z. Brewing, milliner, and on the three upper
floors by Heyer Bros, dealers in fancy goods
and fireworks. Shortly after 5 o'clock, while .
salesman was waiting on customer, he saw
fash among some fireworks behind one OF
the counters, unaccompanied, however. by any
explosion. He ran for water, at the same time
giving the alarm. The flames shot up with al
most incredible rapidity, cutting of the escape
of several Of the men on the upper stories, and
in FIVE minutes the dense smoke, and almost
incessant discharge of fireworks Of different
kinds made the building i perfect pande-
monium for those confined within its walls.
Edward Heyer, one of the firm, ran to the
stairs, shouting fire. He then turned back 70
lock the safe, but found the way choked with
smoke. He groped his way to the window, and
managed to climb TO an adjoining building IN
hurt. Albert Gage, aged twenty. who was en-
ployed in the third story, hung from 8 window
until be was obliged TO release his hold,
then fell to the ground, striking tvo
awnings in his descent, breaking his
back. BE Will probably die. Charles F. Gala
han and Thomas Paine, who were working on
the fourth floor. jumped from a window in
their fright. Paine was killed, while Gala
hans injuries are fatal. William Brenenstuhl,
on the second floor, lost his way and rolled
down the stairs, and was picked up, badly in
jured. He is also burned internally
by smoke, and it is feared
be can not live. A body which was taken from
the building was recognized as Samuel Cord.
one of the oldest employees of the firm. An
other body, that of boy, was taken to the
morgue, where it has not yet been identified
1t is charred and burned so badly that identi6-
cation will be difficult. This completes the
casualties so far as known at present
A large portion of the one-hundred-thoussnd-
dollar stock is ruined, but is well insured.
During the FIRE the discharge of fireworks
sounded as if hsrd-fought battle was in prog
ress, and for nearly two hours was heard the
rattle of small muSketry. interpreted at ire
quent intervals with the heavier reports Of the
larger pieces, while sparks and an occasional
rocket would shoot from the windows. These
explosions created great consternstion among
the spectators. The cause of the FIRE is mys'

TRIED TO BURN THE TOWN.
Fire Fiends at Work in Vancouver, w. T.
-Four Blocks Destroyed.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 22.-Fire broke ont
this morning in Vancouver, w. T., and in less
than two hours swept over nearly four blocks
in the business portion of the town. These
blocks, fortunately, were covered with small
frame buildings and the loss will
probably not reach $4,000. The insurance is
very light.
During the night there were two fires, both
undoubtedly of incendiary origin. Early in
the evening an old catholic church, in
the suburbs of the town, was dis
covered in flames. There was every
indication that the building had been set on
fire. After the fremen and citizens had re-
turned home another fire was discovered in an
old building in another part of the town about
o'clock in the morning. The third FIRE was
discovered in the rear of a bakery. The wind
sprang up. and before the flames could be
brought under control, they had devoured
everything on fo ur blocks
While the fre was at its hight, Mayor Brown
or Vancouver telegraphed to Portland for aid,
saying the town was burning up. An engine
was sent with all possible haste, but the fire
was subdued before assistance arrived. About
thirty buildings in all we're destroyed. No one
was injured. During the fire the city jail was
burned and two prisoners were removed with
great difficulty.
So great was the panic during the time the
flames were raging great many persons blocks
away moved their goods and personal effects
into the streets. Many wild rumOrs were
circulated during the IRE about men being
caught cutting hose, but the stories proved
unfounded. The losses fell mostly upon the
poorer shopkeepers, a number of whom lost
their all. There will be some suffering but
outside help will hardly be required. The
origin of the fires will be Tigidly investigated,
and IT caught the incendiaries will be dealt
with summarily

JoHNsTowN, June "a - Notwithstanding
that the force of workmen employed in the
ruins here was reduced nearly one-hslf to-day
a remarkable showing was made in the way of
clearing up the wreckage. One heavy blast
followed another in the debris above the rail-
road bridge, and Manager Phillips, who has
charge of the work, says he will have the
place cleared up by Thursday. The various
vorkingmen's camps were thoroughly reno
waited to-day. in accordance with the request of
Surgeon-Gen. Reed. All the superfuous straw
and garbage about the camps were burned.
The workmen who Will remain here were
moved into the choicest quarters and early to-
Toorrow morning the tents now occupied by
the discharged men will be taken down by
squad Of soldiers.
This afternoon, between the hours of and
o'clock. charge of dynamite exploded near
the second arch from the east end of the
bridge. From the great body of wreckage
tossed in the air pieces of human bodies flew in
ell directions, and the remnants afterward
gathered together indicated at least six corpses
had been blown up. They were doubtless all
close together near where the dynamite was
discharged.
Much OF the drift which has been dislodged
from the stone bridge has lodged in various
places extending as far below as Cooperdale.
In some places the channel of the Conemaugh
river Is narrowed to a few feet and turned from
its channel. a force of men was put to work
this morning at removing these distractions
which have rendered useless great part of the
work at the bridge. 1t is thought the stream

so that the debris once started down the river
