FIVE HORSES ORRMATED,
The BaFn OF stamm's Hotel, Opposite the
Wheeling Park, Destroyed.

The large frame stable belonging to
Mr., William Stamm, located on the Ma
tional road Just beyond his well known
place, the Four Mile House, opposite
Wheeling Park, was totally destroyed
by fire, together with all Its contents,
including five valuable horses, between
one and two O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
The fire is supposed to have been caused
by a flying spark from an out
door furnace standing some distance
from the stable, which had been
fired up for the purpose Of heating some
water, The spark must have found
lodgment in some dry Creyice and been
famed into "a blaze, When first seen
the blaze did not appear TO be larger than
ones hand, but almost before the alarm
could be given the flames had spread
throughout the huge structure, The
building was an old one, having been
erected a long number OF years since.
Inside, the timbers were as dry as
tinder and filled as 1t was
with such inilammable material
as the hay and straw, which
were stored there In large quantities,
the building burned 6erCely and with
great heat, The wind was blowing
strongly across the pike towards. the |
park, and 1t kept Superintendent
Krieger and his assistants busy Watching
to see that the flying sparks which filled
the air did not do damage, Notwith-
their watchiulness the heat
was 50 intense that the fence WIS on fire
several times.
The FIRE spread SO rapidly thatn one
had time to enter the stable and release
tho animals confined there. The stable
was one with accommodations for about
twenty animals, but only FIVE were In
there at this time. One was q fine A.
year old horse recently purchased by
Mr.. StAmm, another was q splendid
roadster belonging to his son.in.law,
Mr.. Louis @, Stifel, the calico printer OF
this city, and the other three were
horses belonging to farmers whose
names were not learned. They
had been left there while their owners
came into town on the motor line TO
transact business. Several sets Of har.
ness and other property, such as Is usual
about stable, were destroyed; nothing
was saved. By 3 o'clock nothing was
eft standing but few large blazing oak
.imbers, which were pushed over on TO
.he bodies Of the Cremated equines.
There was 5000 insurance on the sta.
Die. in the German Insurance Company

,ntire loss could bo obtained, but 1t will
run up to 5000 ut least, in.

replied to remarks by the pastor, DR..
Conde, insisting that he had better in
vesLigate, aud Ike her ho would be con-
yinCed that Schweiuiurth was the Perfect
One. DR.. Conde rated her soundly for
running after false prophets and insisted
that SChweiniurth meant DEVILS hog
schwein, hog, and furth, the seR-and
that he was an lmposter like one Of the
swine into which Christ cast the devils.
This caused great outbreak from the
half dozen male Beekmanites.

The House Of Commons Houors
John Bright's Memory,
Mr., WIN, GLADSToNE'S EULoGY.
Words of Praise From One Who DIFF
fered With the Great Statesman
on the Question of tho Hour,
Other Foreign News.

LONDON, March 29,-The session Of
House Of Commons this evening was
devoted to eulogles of the late John
Bright, When the Right Hon, William
Henry Smith, who was the first speaker,
rose to address the House, all the mem-
bers doTed their hats, Mr., Smith, In
short speech, described Mr., Bright as a
man Of thorough honesty Of purpose and
great energy Of character, Ifthere was
any defect in his character 1t was the
intensity OF his advocacy OF the princi.
pies that he had adopted.
Mr., Gladstone, upon rising, was re-
ceived with cheers. He said;
"Mr. Bright has been, to a very re-
markable degree, happy in the moment
Of his removal from amongus, IIeliyed
to SEQ the triumph OF almost every great
cause to which he specially devoted his
heart aud mind. Ho has established u
special claim to the admiration Of
those from whom he differed through
his long political life by marked concur
renee with them upon the prom
inent and dominant question OF
the hour 'Hear, Hear" while he
has In that way opened tho
minds and hearts Of those with whom
he differed to appreciation Of his merits,
he has lost nothing by that concord with
them on the particular subject We much
represent. Though Mr.. Bright came TO
be separated from the great bulk OF the
Liberals on the Irish question, on no
single occasion has there been any word
OF dlsparagement, / acknowledge that
| have not through my whole political
life fully embraced the character Of Mr..
Bright and the value OF that characterize
the country"
Among other gifts, Mr.. Bright de-
lighted to be one OF the chief guardians
Of the purity OF the English tongue
["Hear" "Hear"1
"He knew how the character OF nation
is associated with its language. He was
enabled, as an Engllshman profoundly
attached to his country, the tongue OF
the people being to the turn almost an
object Of worship, TO preserve the purity
Of the language OF Shakespeare aud
Milton. [Cheers.l
"His name Is indelibly written on the
annals of time and on the hearts OF the
great and oyerspreading race to which
he belonged, whose wide extension lie
rejoiced TO see and whose power and
prominence he believed to be full of
promise and glory for the best interests
Of mankind.

AN INTERESTING DECISION,
Individual Members OF Corporation Have
Rights the Managers Must Respect,

BALTINoRR, Marck 90.-Judge Wright
filed yesterday an opinion in the case Of
Susan ], johnson against the Peoples
Benefit Association, deciding in favor
OF the plaintiff, This is case OF con-
siderable interest to mutual insurance
companies and persons holding policies
in them. George W, p, johnson, in
1884, became member Of the associa'
ton and obtained a policy emitting him
to s, 900 in case OF death, and in case ot
sickness TO S. per week, On January
20, 1886, the Board OF Directors adopted
a new bylaw royiding that in case a
member was sick for six weeks there
should be deducted from the benefits to
which he would be entitled, one years
dues, s., In advance. This bylaw was
never ratified or confirmed by the menu
bers OF the association, johnson was
taken sick for nine weeks, An assess
ment OF 81 so had been called, which
Mrs, Johnson did not pay. In May her
husband died and the company refused
to recognize the policy or her claim OF
81 ,00O, on the ground that the came was
by failure to pay the ASSESS
ment. The widow sued the company,
claiming that the money withheld
should have been applied 10 the pay
nent OF the assessment.
Judge Wright takes this view Of the
case aud In his opinion says; "The de-
iendant contends that II had the right |
10 make such change under its bylaws
without meeting OF the members that |
the association could nullify one OF the |
sections OF the very statute under which |
alone 1t could exist, Notwithstanding |
he clear language OF the section to the
contrary, Managers OF corporations fre-
luently act as though they alone con-
itituted the corporation, and many in
stances show that they have acted in
he interest OF certain members without
'egard to the general interests or OF in
iividual rights. The court holds that
he company had money belonging to
he plaintiff and will sign decree grant.
ng the plaintiff the relief prayed.

IHE 9EsERTERs RROM ENGLAND.
Three of them Enllst In the United States
AFmy-Ths Rest Ia New York.

NEw YoRE, March 29.-At last some-
thing definite has been heard of the
members Of the English garrison OF Fort
Cunningham, Bermuda; who recently
deserted in body from the fort,
EARLY on the morning Of March IA, a
guard from st, Georges barracks, located
near Fort Cunningham, started to re.
lieye the guard at the fort, Imagine
their surprise when, upon reaching the
place, they discovered that the fort was
tenantless, the garrison having vanished
TO man, Their disappearance was a
mystery, and the strictest search failed
70 discover the deserters.
The Royal Mail ship 0rinoco, which
was then leaving port for New York, was
searched aiteTshe had reached the oilinH,
but the fugitives were not on board, II
was finally concluded that they had
been taken on board Dutch ship, the
Gehroeder Smit, which had left ST,
Georges hRrbor early in the morning.
This conclusion OF the officers has
proved to he correct.
The entire guard, numbering twelve
persons, boarded the smit, but five left
her before she left port and boarded an
italian bark which had weighed anchor
and was proceeding out OF the harbor.
eepen remained on board the Smit and
worked their passae 10 Boston, 0nthe
voyage two OF the deserters, one OF whom
was II sergeant, called "Jim," was trans.
ierred to thetug Merritt, where they per.
formed their allotment OF the work on
board a tug boat. When the Merritt
reached Boston with the Smit In tow,
three OF the deserts went ashore and en-
listed in the United States regular army.
The others came on to this city on board
the Merritt, arriving here Tuesday night.
A reporter, hearing Of their arrival,
went to Stapleton, s. L., where the Mer.
ritt lay, TO interview them. but the birds
had flown,
Captain David Wolcott, the skipper OF
the Merritt, informed the reporter that
the men had left his vessel while she
was lying at a coal dock In Jersey City.
The men, FROM the description Captain
Wolcott furnished, comprised six pri-
Yates and a sergeant. Captain WolGott
did not know any Of their surnames,
having only addressed them by their
Christian names. The deserters threw
their uniforms into the sea, and were
provided with civilian clothes by the
sailors OIL board the Smit, added tosuch
as Captain WOlcott and his crew could
spare, The men arc somewhere In the
city ut the present time.

THE STRUGGLE FOR SUPREMACY.
a Chance for American Commercial III
IeresiA In nIexlcn.

A Chance for American Commercial In
terests In Mexico.
Cry oP MExIoo, March 2O.-It is DO,
lieved here that before long the railway
lines will abandon their present system
Of excessively low rates on European
ireights.
This policy has worked serious harm
to American commercial interests here,
for in many cases rates from Europe
have been 80 to so per cent lower than
those from New York.
The Central and the National Railway,
which bring In European ireights by ar.
rangements made with European lines
Of steamers touching al New Orleans
and Galveston, have practically been do.
ing this business without profit, while
the Vera Cruz Railway has made very
low rates 10 meet this competition Of the
overland railways. There Is no money
In this business now. Besides railway
managers see that II Is the plan Of many
American manufacturers TO give their
agency here 10 German houses, This
tends 70 restrict American exE Eort 10 this
country, as the German honses will favor
their own national manufacturers when
ever they can. They will often take
American agencies aud at the same time
do as little rs possible for American
manufacturers.
The railway managers are beginning
to favor American commercial housei
which haye direct interest In building
up American tTad6. Still, u Americans
do not get direct representation here the
English will beat them, as II Is tht
ayowed policy Of the English to regair
thoirformor hold on tho Wholesale coin
mefcO OF tho country,
