CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 26.-Judge Tuley
yesterday made an important decision
which, If sustained by the supreme court
will revolutionize the present system of
dealing on the board of trade by outside
principals through agents or brokers on
the bord. The ruling was made in the
case of Henry Curtis against the we'll
known commission firm of A. N. Wright
u Co.
Curtis a wealthy retired lumber nier-
chant, had series OF transactions on the
board drought Wright & Co. and made
some heavy losses. He refused to pay
H,500 margins and was sued for the
AMOUNT. While the case was pending
Curtis filled a bill in chaucery, claiming
that instevd of owing Wright the amount
claimed, Wright was indebted TO him
So 5000. Curtis asked an injunction and
an accounting. A temporary injunction
was granted and the matter came before
the court yesterday on a motion to dis
solve the injunction.
After hearing arguments Judge Tuley
said the bill on its face made out clear
gambling transaction and Curtis could
have no relief in a court of equity The
court thought, however that he would
have good defence to the lawsuit by
pleading the gambling act. This decision
was made out by the court on his own
motion, as the question of the gambling
neture of the transaction was not raised
by either party.

SITUATION AT LYNN.
Prompt Relief Measures Applied-Insur-
ance Men Not Surprised.

LYNN, Mass, Nov. 21.-In proportion to its
area and population this city yesterday
suffered greater by fire than any other
city in Massachusetts during the present
century. In extent of territory the burnt
district in Lynn is about the same as that
Of Boston in ~ and the loss was relatively
the same. 1t was a pitiful sight here to
witness the breaking up of homes and the
frantic efforts OF occupants to save house
bold treasures and other effects, most of
which were doomed to destruction because
in many instances 1t was impossible to
procure teams to remove them. The city
is today well pstroiled by the militia. six
companies, go men in all being on duty
The men are stationed at the entrances of
the ruined streets, barring all approach to
lie burnt district. Guards are stationed at
the stores that are but partially cleaned
cut To prevent thieves fro N taking what
i lett. No one is permitted TO pass the
guards without a permit from the city
clerk. Through the associated charities
many families were furnished lodging last
night in rooms hired at lodging and dwell
ing houses and rations of hot soup, crack
ers and bread are being served TO all in
need OF food As soon as some plan for
assistance can be devised the work of pro-
vidin& for destitute families will progress
rapidly.
AS yet no fatalities have been reported,
which is a pleasing feature OF the terrible
conflagration. AT O'Clock this morning
the fire apparatus from Boston and other
places out Of town limbered up and took
their departure.
The early trains from Boston brought
many OF the insurance adjusters. Nore of
them expressed surprise at the sweeping
confla.ration which had visited the shoe

The process Of dime making is an interest
one. The silver bullion is first melted and
run into two-pound bars These in turn are
run through immense rollers and flattened
out to the thickness of the coin. These silver
strips are then passed through q machine
which cuts them into round discs Of the ex-
act dimensions of the coin, ready for the
presses, the strips first having been treated
with q kind Of tallow to prevent their being
scratched in their passage through tho cut
ters. The silver blanks are then put into the
feeder OF the stamping presses, and are fed
to the die by automatic machinery at the
rate Of 100 per minutes, 600 being turned
out in regular working days of twelve hours.
As the smooth blanks are pressed between
the ponderous printing dies they receive the
lettered and figured impression in a manner
similar to that OF paper pressed upon form
of type; at the same time the piece Is ex-
banded in slight degree, by which the mill
ing is formed on its rim. The machine drops
the completed coin into receiver, and it Is
ready for the counters hands The instru-
ment used by the counter is not complicated
machine by any means, as one might suppose.
1t is simple copper colored tray, having
raised edges running across the surface at
distance about the exact width of dime
From the receiver the money is dumped on
the board or tray, and as it is shaken rapidly
by the counter the pieces settle down into the
space between the ridges. All these spaces
being filed, the surplus coin is brushed back
into the receiver, and the counter has exactly
1850 silver dimes, or 1925, on the tray, which
number it requires to fill the spaces. The
trays emptied into the boxes, and the money
is then ready for shipment. The dime does
not pass through the hands of the wegher. as
does the coin of a larger denomination. One
and one-half grains are allowed for variance
or tolerance" in all silver coin from 81
down, and the deviation from the standard
in the case Of the ten cent pieces is SO trifing
that the expense Of weighing the coin of this
denomination is dispensed with.-Manufac-

Story Of the Burning Of the Santiago
at Sea.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27-The fifty-nine
perrons received from the steamer Santi-
ago were landed at the barge Office dock
today. In addition to the captain and u
crew of fifty-four there were four passen-
engers. Captain Cotter, of the lost vessel,
makes the following statement: "On No
vember 10, 2S3 miles outside of Sanpy
Hook, a gale came up. At 4:20 D. m. one
Of the crew discovered smoke curling up
from between the seams and butts of the
doop deck near the miZZen mast. Smoke
was also seen TO rise from under the
tarpaulins over numbers 6 and s
matches, where the cotton was stored. The
fire extended from one side to the other of
the steamship. At $50 p. IN. the vessel
came to Il stand-still. Her steering gear
had burned away. At 6:45 o'clock the
deck fell in. / then saw there was no hope
Of saving the vessel and ordered the life
boats swung. Owing to the severity of
the gale and the high sea | saw it was
dangerous TO remain by the vessel
and we pulled away from the
ship to avoid fioundering. During our
preparations to embark the lS9 head of
cattle on the steamer were cut loose and
before we got away from the vessel many
Of the poor beast mad jumped overheard to
avoid the flames. Their bellowings and
means were heart rendering"
The remainder of the captains state
ment relates to the rescue of the ship

q :sority but Not n Sect.

A Protestant minister in Oakland, Cal in
a recent address on the subject of the public
school system of the United States, expressed
himself as follows: an one of the schools of
San Francisco Herbert Spencers Data Of
Ethics was introduced as text book of
morals-as palpable violation of the law
forbidding sectarian instruction as the intro
duction of the Catholic or Methodist cate
chism; for Herbert Spencer belongs to that
very small and narrow sect which promul-
gates the creed of agnosticisrn." If the rev.
erend speaker had taken the ground that the
Data of Ethics was too abstruse book to
be placed in the hands of public school pupils,
we should have felt inclined to sustain his OBJ
lection.
But when he says that to introduce such
book is to give a sectarian character to the
school in which it is used, we must enter
protest Science is never sec,arian; philoso-
ply is over sectarian. Sectarian teaching be-
gins when you ask 4 man or child to as
sumo what cannot be proved, for the sake of
keeping within the dogmatic lines that fence
round some particular creed. The followers
of Mr.. Spencer may be minority, but they
ara no more sect than were the adher-
ents OF the Copernican system of astronomy,
or than are the believers in the Darwinian
theory Of natural selection Mr. Spencer
makes no appeal TO faith, but finds his prem
ises in the common experience of mankind
A pupil who was being taught out OF the
Data of Ethics" would be quite at liberty TO
dispute either the premises or the arguments
OF the author; and be would not be silenced
by the declaration that Mr. Spencer was in
fallible But when catechisns are taught
they are taught. not as containing matter for
discussion. but as containing doctrines that
must not be disputed on pain OF more or less
disagreeable consequences popular Science

To Offset this fact, however, Is the lessening
Of danger of fire. In this respect electricity,
as means Of theatre lighting, undoubtedly
possesses great advantage over gas.
The possibility of fire, caused by the in

which stage Is filed, has always been the
greatest Of all the evils that drive sleep away
fron managerial eyelids. In some cities
ordinances are in effect which compel the
presence of a fireman, provided with ready
attached hose, at each performance, and
great precautions in the way of globular
wire screens tor gas jets, ETC., must neces-
Earily be taken. Among other means to pre-

Asbestos and iron curtains are coming into
general use, too, in the larger play houses,
where they can be lowered in front of the
regular drop in case of an emergency. Such
an arrangement. it is said, would prevent the
spread of fire from the stage to the audi
forum or vice versa, and might, in the
former circumstance, prevent panic in the
audience. As most of the people killed in all
the great theatre fires have died in the panic
following the discovery of the flames, this is
an important consideration.
