FURIOUS FIRES.
Forty Acres Burned Over at Chicago-Great
Fire at Seneca Falls, n. Y.

Forty Acres Burned Over at Chicago-Great
Fire at Seneca Falls, n. Y.
CHICAGO, July 3L-Fire, supposed to
have originated from spark from a
locomotive, started about seven o'clock
last evening in the lumber yards just
north of the mouth of the Chicago river
and famed by heavy breeze it spread
rapidly, burning over nearly forty acres
before it was subdued.
At $50 p. m. the indications were that
the fire might be one of the most extern
sive that has occurred in Chicago since
the destruction of the most valuable
part of the city in October, 1S7L 1t be-
gan on the docks of Fitzsimmons &
Connell, contractors, and rapidly spread
to the lumber yards of E. E. Aver & Co.
and E. E Whitcomb & Co.
All about the locality where the
flames started are vast stretches of val
liable lumber piles and manufacturing
establishments. The region is known
as the north pier and is situated on the
north side of the river, not more than a
few squares from the site of old Fort
Dearborn, the Indian trading post that
marked the beginning of Chicago's COM
mercial Importance. A wilderness of
ships and wharves rendered the place al
most inaccessible for fire engines, but
the fire boats provided by the city
for just such an emergency remedied
the difficulty in measure. The scene
of the fire is penetrated by tracks of the
Chicago & Northwestern railway, which
crosses the river near by for junction
with the Illinois Central and the east
ern trunk lines Skirting the North
western tracks are the lumber yards of
the Peshtigo Company and Ii. Paencke
& Co.
1t is estimated that the total loss will
exceed $500, 200. The principal losers
are: Aver & Co., Si42,0 600, partly in
sured; Fitzsimmons & Connell, $40, 900,
no insurance; Chicago & Northwestern
railway, $4,000, on forty cars, and the
city Of Chicago, $4,000
THE FIRE AT SENECA FALLS
SENECA FALLS n. ", July 3l.-The
Pew building, against the erection of
which three or four years ago earnest
protest was made, fulfilled its mission
as fire trap yesterday morning, and tits
feared has also proven death trap.
Shortly after three o'clock the build
ing, which was directly opposite Hoag's
Opera House on Fall street, was discov-
cred to be burning in Sutherland &
Squire's restaurant In few minutes
the entire structure was on fire. At
seven o'clock the commercial part of
the town was in ashes or in flames
All three newspapers were burned out
and the telephone service suspended.
Careful estimates by insurance men
and others place the loss at between
5000, 900 and 500, 1000, with insurance
amounting to only 100000. The heav-
lest individual loss is that of the
Thomas-Houston Electric Company
s1oO, 600, with but 10000 insprance.

Malaria

Is your system full of malarial Do YOU
feel weak and mean all overt Have YOU got
the aguei Then why don't you do some
thing to get well. You say auinine
let that discourage you. There ia one rem
edy, Smiths Tonic Syrup, made by Dr. John
Bull, OF Louisville, KY, that is far ahead Of
Quinine. 1t will cure chills and fever when
quinine and everything else fails. This rem
edy never has failed. In omeneighborhoods
where chills and fever are common, il is
found in every household. Why man would
as soon refuse his family food to eat, as to re-
fuse to get another bottle of Smiths Tonic
Syrup when the old bottle gave out. 1t is a
great preventive of ague. A single dose
will sometimes keep of an attack. A few
doses will break up the fever and cure the
chills. 1t does not leave any unpleasant
after effects as quinine sometimes does. 1t
will not harm the most delicate invalid.
Give it trial and you will soon be well

WHO STOLE THE MULE?
Judge Cheney Decides that Mr.. Wilson
Did Not.

Some time ago Mr.. James D. Hill came
into the police station and with tears in
his eyes mourned the loss of mule,
which he accused one Neal Wilson of
stealing and pawning. Detective Bos-
qui was detailed on the case, and had
Mr.. Wilson arrested, examined by an in
ferior court, and held to answer. The
story as told yesterday in the trial of Mr..
Wilson did not bear out Mr.. Hill's first
story to the police. and the defendant
was acquitted by order OF Judge Cheney
From the evidence it seems both men
started for this city from San Fernando
with load of wood, which they sold,
and on their way back with load of
lumber, an axle of their wagon broke.
They got wheelwright to repair the
damage, but had no money to pay him,
so Hill went off to Florence to borrow
some money from relatives.
Wilson had proposed to Hill that they
pawn one OF the mules, but the latter
easily demonstrated that they would be
no better off with one mule than with a
broken axle. So Wilson was left with
the mules. The more he considered the
plan of pawning the mule the better he
liked it, and at last he was able to resist
it no longer. He took one OF the mules
to the livery stable of d. j. Read, on
Also street, and raised IS on it. 1t did
not appear, however, from the evidence
taken yesterday, that Wilson used this
money to secure the axle.

THE SACK EMPTY.
The Park Commissioners Find Them
selves Without Funds.

The board of park commissioners held
a meeting at 4 O'Clock yesterday after
noon in the mayors office, Hon. II. Il.
Hazard in the chair and Messrs. S. G..
Hubbell, Sutherland Hutton and M. l..
Wicks present.
Mr.. Hutton announced that he was
going to Oregon in few days and would
be absent at least two weeks. and sug-
gested that, if the board intended max
ing the changes necessitated by its
appointment as state board, action be
taken before he went away. The mat
ter was discussed at considerable length,
but there being no funds at the disposal
of the board, it was resolved finally to
continue acting under the city charter
as heretofore, until the proper appropri-
alton shall be madesand the money re-
ceived. A communication from the new
board relative to the matter of making
the change was thereupon laid upon the
table.
An application for lease upon a piece
of land in the Elysian park was refused.
The petition OF Peter Stone for per-
mission to place one of his stone filters
in the Sixth street park was granted.
Messrs. Hutton and Wicks were APP
pointed committee to negotiate for the
purchase Of certain tract of land ad-
Joining the East Side park, for park
purposes.
The matter of the new row boats
recently placed on the lake at West
Lake park was then brought up for dis
cussion, and gave rise to lengthy de-
bate. The question of lack of funds
again cropped up, but the boats not
being considered as entirely satisfactory
it was decided to notify the boat builders
to make the necessary repairs before the
approval of their bill.
Captain Remington offered to sell a
steam launch for use on the Seventh
street lake for the sum of 81 900. After
a lengthy debate, in which the cramped
financial condition of the board figured
conspicuously, it was agreed, that as an
experiment Captain Remington's steam
launch should be placed on the lake fol
a period of six months, the board to pay
the expenses of bringing it up from Sar
Pedro and shipping it back, fiat the end
OF that period it was decided not tc
purchase it.
An invitation was extended to the
council to go out in a body and use the
boats some moonlight evening.
/ After approving a number Of demands
the board adjourned.

IMMEDIATELY after the nomination of
Mr.. Pond, the Sacramento Record
Union appeared with an editorial highly
eulogistic of his ability and integrity,
and congratulating the public that there
would be no mudslinging in the cam
paign. A few days thereafter the same
paper appeared with an editorial
attempting to show that Pond was the
mere, conscious and willing tool OF
Buckley. What influence does paper
expect to exercise that thus fagrantly
exposes its lack of candor, principle and
veracity? And of such are most of the
Republican papers of the state.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-08-30

The HERALD begs to suggest that
there will be sentiment of profound
establishment when the vote of Los
Angeles county comes to be counted
next November. Our Republican con-
temporaries are in the habit of assum-
ming that Col. Markham will make a
sensational record in Southern Cali
fornia. As matter of fact, the nu mber
of Los Angeles Republicans who will
vote for Pond, will make the head OF
the tall son of Anak resident in Pasa-
dena swim, when he comes to read the
returns. The extent of Ponds popularity
in Los Angeles county is thing to mar
vel at. His long and splendid career OF
retrenchment and reform-economic
triumphs dear to a heavily taxed
people-has accomplished its perfect
work in disposition to vote for the
reform mayor OF San Francisco irrespec-
tive OF politics.

THE new rooms of the Alliance club
were inaugurated last night with great
eclat. The event was signalized by
speeches from Judge George H. Smith,
Hon. Stephen NJ. White, and others. This
organization embraces many of the most
substantial Democrats of Los Angeles,
and it will be demonstrated to be an
agency of great good to the party during
the ensuing campaign. In the course
of his remarks Mr.. White dwelt very
happily upon the disorganization and
malyersation which has characterized
county affairs during Republican rule.
The District Attorneys office, in partic-
ular, came in for thorough scoring,
On the principle that it was specimen
brick. The appositeness of the speakers
remarks was exemplifed by his own
