TONS OF ROASTED MEATS.
Swift's Packing House in Cowboy
vile Partially DESTROYED by Fire.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 25.-The
immense packing house of Swift & Co.,
at the corner of Berger avenue and
First street in Kansas City, Kan. was
saved from total destruction by fire to-
day by a fortunate shift of the wind.
AS it was, the smoke house, a structure
of corrugated iron, 40x40 feet, was
wholly destroyed, and the render
ing house, 12Sx40 feet, were con-
sumed. The fire started at $50
this morning in the smoke house,
from some cause unknown. Fire has
broken out several times recently in
nearly the same place, AMI it is sup
posed that it originated from defect in
the fues. The fire departments of both
cities responded to the alarm and they
were on the grounds in sufficient time
to have checked the blaze in its incep-
ton. When the hose connections were
made and the water turned on it was
found that the pressure was wholly in
sufficient, the water barely running out
the nozZles. Handicapped as they were,
the fremen could do practically nothing
to subdue. the flames, which by that
time had almost consumed the smoke
house and had communicated through
a vladuct to the rendering establish
ment. AS yet nothing could be done
but let the water
FALL IN Low STREAMS
from the MOBILES of the hose upon the
fire and the flames had their own way
for about an hour. By this time the
fire had got full Roadway in the render
ing works and fed with the inflammable
contents-oil and lard-gave promise of
spreading to the main packing works,
not more than forty feet distant. Just
at this time the wind, which had been
blowing in the early morning from the
south, shifted to the northwest and car
ried the flames away from the adjoin-
ing buildings. Shortly afterwards
the water pressure became sufficient to
force the water from the lines of hose
and In an hour from then the firemen
had the flames under control. The
smoke house was totally destroyed. The
south end of the refining house was
saved by a fire wall. During the fire
Master Mechanic Tate fell from the
roof of the smoke house while attempt
ing to descend by a rope and was in
stantly killed. The total loss on build
ings, machinery and stock is placed by
Supt. Young at s150,0O0, with s120, 900
insurance, placed with forty-two COM
panieS.

1t is always the unexpected that hap
pens, yet that does not lessen the en-
barrassment of the state department at
Washington brought about by the sud-
den change of administration in Hayti.
There is a SensationaliSm about Hay
ten politics that must possess apeculiar
fascination for Secretary BLAINE, and
yet he is not happy. HYPPoLITE's jim
goistic craftsmanship is even a peg
higher than that on which Mr.. BLAINE
cares to hang his hat, and consequently
this great big country is at a loss to
know what particular diplomatic policy
to pursue with regard to the dusky inhab-
itants of the revolutionary little island.
1t has been some time since
FRED DOUGLASS was appointed
minister to Hayti, and yet he
fingers on American soil. FRED is a sly
old coon, and probably doesn't care to
risk his personal safety in a country
where razor are everlastingly flying in
the air. At all events, the legitimate
ruler of Hayti has abdicated, an insur-
gent has taken the reins of government,
and yet the United States is without a
representative where, above all other
places, just now a representative is most
needed. 1t is altogether likely that
when Mr.. DOUGLASS gets to Haytl. if
he eve gets there, he will find himself
the victim of a more severe ostraclsm
than he has ever found at home. The
representatives of other governments
will cut him on account of his color,
and the natives are said to be prejudiced
against a colored man who lowers him
self in the social scale by marrying a
white woman Taking it altogether,
the venerable FREDERICK will find more
congenial society in Washington than at
Port-au-Prince.

UNExAMPLED ENTERPRISE.
Those Tribune Cablegrams Direct
from Norway and Sweden.

Normanna, the Norwegian weekly,
published by q. F. johnson and edited
by Kroeger Johansen, has this to say,in
its issue of Aug. II, of the wonderful
Tribune cablegrams (D from Scandi-
navian countries: 1.-The Minneapolis
Tribune has for some time past occa-
sionally served US with dispatches per
cable from the scandinavian countries.
These cablegrams have either been de-
voted to stale news, already commune
Gated by mail, or, If containing any
thing real fresh and not found in the
late papers from the old Jul
try, have been lamentably de-
ficient in the element Of truth.
On the whole, the impression
cablegramS from Scandinavian couE-
tries, which the Tribune is so proud of
as a rule, have. been manufactured in
the inner Sanctum of the Tribune'S edi-
torial office. That this impression is
not without foundation has been proved
by a recent occurrence. The Tribune
of Aug. a contained al alleged telegram
from ChriStiania, where it was stated
bthat the German emperor, on his return
trip from Northcape, Norway, had Wis
tied ChriStiania and remained there for
a short time as the guest of King Oscar.
1t vas further alleged that the emperor
had listened to a grand concert given
there, and that he had in no uncertain
terms praised two of Norway'S most
prominent musicians, Mr.. hammers and
Mrs. Gronyold. According to the late
Norwegian papers received here, this
telegram proves to be an unmitigated
fraud. The emperor did not visit
Christiania at all; it is possible
that such a visit was intended, but
if so, his plans we're changed. Hence,
the emperor did not visit Christiana
during his trip to Norway. neither did
he listen to a grand concert there, and
least of all did he compliment the two
musicians. The Tribune has claimed a
great deal of credit on account of its
cablegrams from Scandinavian u
tries, but if it is not able to produce
anything more substantial than mere
extracts from newspapers just received
or purely fictitious creations of its own
imagination. the Scandinavians in this
country would rather be without them

President Harrison and eX-Presldent

Mr.. and Mrs. Mackay, of Bonanza
fame, are at the Louisburg hotel, Bar
Harbor. A writer in the Bangor CoHt-
mercial thus refers to Mrs. Mackay:
"a woman ample rather than large Or
owe tall. but of commanding stature
and presence; jet black hair and eye
brows, the latter very arched, and
thick, dark, brilliant eyes, a slightly
olive skin, Well-cnt features, a little liz
clined to Roman prominence shoulders,
bust and aims of %Statuesque mould; a
truly regal-looking woman. conscious OF
her power and consequence, but equally
suggestive of large generosity OF nature.
What amazed me most was her YOUTH
fulness. From her history, which is
pretty we'll known, she ought to be a
woman upward of fifty; in actual APP
pearance, however, she looks about
thirty-iye at the utmost, and l stood
quite ear her under a strong light" i

PROTECTED HIS FAMILY.
A Husky Kentuckian Shoots the
Assailant of His Wife and
DAUGHTER.


CINCINNATI, o.. Aug. 25.-This after
noon near independence, Kenyon coun-
ty, Kentucky, PIT. Beers, a farmer fifty
eight years old, shot and killed Levi
Rice, his neighbor. A quarrel of sew
eral years standing existed between the
men On account of a roadway. The
shooting occurred in the public
highway near Beers house. The
story is that Beers sent his two
sons a short distance from the house
to water the horses and that his
wife and daughter walked along in the
road behind them. In a short time
Beers heard a cry of Murder! Help!"
He immediate ~ rushed into the house
and secured bis revolver and hurried in
direction of the cries. There he saw
club in one hand and a large stone in
the other, holding his club raised over
the PROSTATE form of Mrs. Beers. while
the daughter was struggling with Rice
to keep him from striking her mother.
The son was lying in the road
near by. insensible from a blow
from the club. Beers rushed to the
scene and shouted to Rice to stop.
Rice threw stones at Beers, hitting him
once on the head and once on>the side.
Beers drew his revolver and shot him
dead. Beers then mounted a horse and
went to Independence for doctors, but
they arrived too late to be of any assist
aIlce to Rice. The injuries of Mrs.
Beers and her son are said to be quite
serious, and the daughter is suffering
from nervous proStration. There were
no witnesses to the affair, but the Beers
family, and this is their story.

NO IN GOD.
Truth Not the Gift of Reason, but
of Revelation,


Rev. W. j. Lhamon, at the Church of
Christ, yesterday morning spoke upon
rationalism. He said: ga circle of
light, bounded by a larger circle of dark
ness, was Sir Humphrey Dayy's figure
for all human knowledge. De Quincy
says that fully a thousand books have
been written to explain what the philo-
pher Kant is supposed to have meant.
In his old age Michael Angelo drew a
picture of himself in a go-cart, with a
Latin motto, which translated, means,
Ever learning We have a little
knowledge, but we have more ignor-
ance. All our days are followed by
nights, and the ultimate is beyond our
reach. Reason is but a sc%affolding.
When the building is up we
pull it down. What we know we
do not stop to reason about. After all
the boast about it reason fails us. HUI
manity has set out to build a city and a
tower, whose top shall reach unto the
heavens. and the scaffolding cannot
reach so far. To the Christian nothing
could be more significant than the mod
ern talk about agnoSticism. 1t is we'll
to have this god Agnostieism set to
plumber this god Reason,a and nobly he is
doing it. Braggart %rationaliSm is learn
ing that there are some things it cannot
of itself learn. When its wax wings
have dropped, it too will drop, and
prone on earth with the rest of mortals
will. perhaps. acknowledge that there is
a Being above all others, in whom
dwells wisdom, and who can speak to
man. One who is light. and in whom is
no darkness at all. This text voices the
highest optimism. One cannot accept
it and look on the dark side
of human history or destiny.
In it the faithful, hopeful. praying,
people of earth can rest. With God
there is a light that knows no night; a
goodness that knows no evil: Above that
knows no hate; a life that knows no
death. II we believe that God is good,
we believe that all is well, and no per
pleXity can discount this faith. There
may be a thousand questions yet UNI
answered, but this passes beyond them
all.
This truth is not the result of reason,
but the gift of revelation. The apostle
declares that it is a message received
from Jesus. Granted, that God has
spoken through Christ to man: granted,
that nan can hear. and receive the
message; then the problem of revela-
ton is solved. Reason says that such
revelation is possible; agnosticism says
it is necessary, and history says it is a
fact. 1t is Jesus rather than our poets
and philosophers who has justified the
ways of God to men,

OF GOD.
Justice in the Infinite Becomes
Love,

LOtO.
Rev. T. M. Price, of Williamsburg.
Mass. a brother of Isaac M. Price, of
Minneapolis, preached at Plymouth
church yesterday morning.
Text: Heb. H., 13, Behold I and the
children, which God has given me-"
The conception of God formed by the
highest type of manhood, out of Christ,
is holy, exalted, hating sin, powerful,
administrative, relentless and irresiSt-
IDLE, but is not our God. This highest
type of manhood conceives of God ac-
cOrding to his knowledge, and he may
not be more than a Christian idOlater,
until introduced to God by Christ. And
it is here he obtains more than the spirit
of admiration and reverence. He OBJ
tains the spirit of love and service.
He beholds a God who is no %respecter
sake. Instead of being the king of
kings, God is the beautiful attract
i've power of goodness, possessed
of al ineffable disposition, in
whose presence you murmur "My
Father, my Lord, and my God" He
finds true liberty in self surrender. In
eternity he sees himself as a sign of
Christ'S power. We are children of
eternity sent into the flesh to go up into
eternal triumphS.
By this introduction to God he re-
gains the dominion lost in Eden. He
sees that the greatness of love depends
on justice: that justice in the Infinite
becomes love; that this earth is evil
dence of o~mnipOrence; the new heavens
and the new earth only are worthy of
loves power. He will see that the
needs of earth shake the throne of
heaven. and that true greatness is not
in ruling the universe, but in
self-denial and s%elf-control. Christ
gives us the susceptibility to
receive eternal influence and
be affected by revealed truth.
By this view we gain confidence, hope
and a supernatural nature.
Viewed through Christ, God is not a
spot of brightness, but a universe.
Christ is the telescope of the soul. We
should seek the knowledge of God be-
cause it is eternal life, and because
Christians are imitators of God. To de-
pend on our knowledge in nature is to
place ourselves under judgment. but
the way of life is to escape judgment
through Christ. Upon God let us di-
rect our thoughts through Christ. Let
us get our feelings, our impulses, u
ideas. Our patterns and our hopes here.
Let u lives bear the image of Christ.
and our spirits the impressions of Gods
majesty. Not after the similtude of
earth are we to live, but after the siInil-
tude of sons born OF the most High and
most Holy.

PR oTEoTING AGRICULTURE

The constitutions of the new states do
not contain any very startling depart
ureS from the paths of other state franz
ers. There are, however, some provis-
ions not found elsewhere, due more to
special local circumstances than any
adventurous disposition. One of the
most noteworthy of these is the prOyiS-
ion in North Dakota that improved
lands shall not be assessed higher than
the u%nimproved. The man who makes
a farm and puts it into cultivation is
not to be fined for investing his labor
and money. The common provision
that ''tayes shall be equal" would not
quite harmonic with this plan, for the
improvements do enhance the value of
the property. 1t will involve higher
taxation of the lands held for specula-
ton. and discourage non-residents to
hold land unimproved to be made val
liable by the improvements on neigh
boring property. The practical effect
will be to encourage improvements and
develop the country. With proper lin
itations il seems to be a judicious and
wholesome policy, although a step in
the direction of HENRY GEORGES the

press on the Pennsylvania railroad
pulled out Of the station at 1:25 this
morning, boarded a Pullman car and en-

struggled with him and was shot twice,
in the groin and leg, and another shot
failed to take effect. Chambers was then
overpowered by the trainmen Stark is
badly hurt, but it is believed will re-
cover. Chambers was carried through
to Harrisburg, but will be returned to
this city for trial. A dispatch from Har-
risburg says Stark is in the hospital
there suffering from three bullet
wounds. The stories of the porter and
Chambers, who is in Jail, are conflicting.
Chambers a y he waS stealing a ride,
and that the porter began firing at him.
He grasped the pistol and it went off.
The porter says Chambers was in his
berth, and when discovered drew the
revolver and commenced firing. The
wounds are not dangerous.

NO SIGN OF A SETTLEMENT.
A Foolish Proposition TO Be Made
to the Trunk Lines.

to the Trunk Lines.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Chairman Fait-
horn. of the Western and Northwestern
divisions of the Western Freight asso-
citation, was instructed at the managers
meeting yesterday to go to New York
at once and try to induce the trunk
lines to issue through tariffs to st. Paul
and Minneapolis at the same rates as
those now made via the Lake Superior
lines and the Canadian Pacific. He is
to make no;request for a pro-rate on that
basis, but will request that the trunk
lines accept the same proportion as Is
now made by the National Dispatch
(the lowest differential rates. to Chi
cago. This would give the trunk lines
60 cents per 100 pounds to Chicago, and
leave for Chicago-St. Paul lines 25 cents
on through shipments. If this cannot
be secured, the chairman is authorized
to offer the trunk lines their present
regular proportion of the through rate
to Chicago-O cents per 100 pOunds-the
ChicagO-St. Paul lines taking the re-
naming Is cents On condition that the
trunk issue through tariffs to st. Paul
via Chicago. Judge Cooley states that
such a through tariff as the Chi
a g = st. Paul lines propose
would not be legal, as the
difference between through and local
rates must be reasonable. Chairman
Blanchard last evening said he did not
think the trunk lines would enter into
the scheme proposed by the Northwest
ern roads, on the ground that it was I'M
fair and illegal to shippers at interme-
date points. A local paper says:
The opinion prevails that as soon as the
fact has been established that the trunk
lines win not issue through tariffs to St
Paul, on the plan proposed, the Burlington
d Northern will resume the fight by making
the rate local lily from Chicago TO st. Paul Is
cents first-class and proportionately on other
classes, applying those rates to all intermedi-
ate stations
