TIE NEWS IN BRIEF.

Five lives were lost last Friday afternoon
by fire in the firew orks establishment in
the upper stories Of a large building at the
corner of Summer aud Hawley streets, Bos-
ton. Shortly after five O'Clock, while a
salesman was waiting on customer, he
saw flash among some fireworks behind
one of the counters, unaccompanied, how
ever, by an explosion He ran for water,
at the same time giving the alarm. The
flames shot up with incredible rapidity, cut
ting off the escape of several men in the
upper stories, and within five minutes the
dense smoke and almost incessant discharge
of fireworks of different kinds made the
building perfect pandemonium for those
confined within its walls. Most of the vic
Tins were killed by jumping from the win
dows.

Some Of the powder which he had bought
of the druggist remained, aud ON examine
ton it was found to be sugar Of lead, which
had been sold by mistake for the harmless
acid.

A." The Christian. Legacy"

This is a religious book Of great value. The au-
thor has selected 800 promises from the Bible and
placed one at the top Of each page-on the left
hand one from the Old Testament, the right
one from the New. Following the text Is page
Of comment by the author, written, as DR.. Pepper,
president Of Colby university says, in an eXcerd
ingly fresh vivid, experimental way By taking
one verse each day for daily reading the reader
concentrates his thought ON the one subject, and
any of these promises read or learned ia the
morning Is an inspiration for the entire day, aud
its influence cannot be estimated, An appendix
of 100 pages contains the most valuable summary
of Biblical facts that We have ever seen. There is
no other book that gives these facts in such a
handy form We do not see how any Christian
family can we'll do without It. We should think
that every young man In the Y. NJ. &. A and ev-
cry member Of the Christian Endeayor society
would find a copy of il indispensable, We don't
know how a parent could do a child greater Ia
vur than 10 give him such book and ask him u
learn a verse each day and read the comments
The book is highly commended. Rev. Mr.. Par
~ writes: 1T cannot fail To accomplish greal
good wherever II may GO Rev. Mr.. Day: 1T
has a meaning for all who value the promises,
Rev Mr. Illman: My word cannot commend
this book with the force with which Il comments
itself All who read aud study il will find in thu
highest sense a help"

CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business in the Grain Center Dur
Ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, October S.-The wheat mar
ket was quiet, in fact, dull feeling pre-
vailed throughout most of the session,
and operators still feel disposed to trade
cautiously. Liberal receipts in the north
west acted as the principal bear feature,
though an increase of 2,4OO bushels i'll
the quantity OF wheat in passage was
reported by Becrbohm where the decrease
had been expected. also had tendency
to create an easier feeling. The market
here held steadily most of the day with
fluctuations confined within 12c. range,
closing 3sc. lower for December and NC.
lower for May than yesterday.
Very little interest was manifested in
corn, which ruled quiet and inactive the
greater part of the session. Fluctuations
were narrow and trading of a light local
character. The market was devoid OF
any new features and opened at about
yesterday S final quotations sold off NC,
closing haAc. below yesterday. Cash
property was in good demand.
The oats market was pervaded by a
dull, weak tone in all it's branches early,
and there was heavy closing for both
cash and futures. A continuation of yes
terday's depression was all the more re-
markablc in view of the fact that receipts
were 100 cars less than estimated. Trad
ing was chiefly in May and fluctuations
were within an extreme range of ha3sc.
lust before the close there was some sell
ing for country account. These offerings
together with a considerable throwing
off Of long property by local operators,
broke Nav to 22c. The slump was at
tended with considerable excitement.
The October pork deal again claimed
considerable attention. The motion for
n renewal of the injunction dismissed by
Judge Shepherd has been made in the APP
pellate court, and pending its considera-
ton and final settlement the clique has
decided to adhere to its old policy of re-
fusing new packed pork in settlement OF
contracts. Yesterday afternoon and this
morning its representatives refused sew
eral thousand barrels which were sold for
account of whom it may concern" at
prices ranging from $10.40 early, down
to $10.l5. The pork was bought up
mainly by shorts. Hutchinson, however,
accepted a few lots of the boycotted ar
ticle under protest, claiming that right
while the question of legality of delivery
was receiving judicial consideration. A
good many shorts now believe that the
clique is working to save time and by
keeping the matter i'll court to curtail the
making of pork. ProcrastinatiOn is
charged to be its ruling purpose, and
that when the month is far advanced and
the packers find themselves unable to
make property to meet their contracts,
they will be open to compromise. To-
day October pork sold straight at 1895
to $10.10. Itopened at $9.95 and closed
at $lO.05, or 45c. under yesterday. In
the general trade a strong feeling pre-
vailed.
October lard and short ribs and No.
vember lard declined 21.c. and January
futures SC. all around.
