The Manufacturers Record, in its
last issue, referring to the urgent need
of some instrumentality for bringing
together owners of Southern proper
ties and owners Of unemployed North
ern money, says;
Hundreds of good locations are ly-
ing neglected by reason OF inability to
reach the ear of capital to present their
merits to the right men but fortu-
nately, plan has been formulated to
fill this want which gives promise of
the most substantial benefits to the
whole South.
at is proposed by Mr.. w. P. Rice,
who has already been the means Of
inducing the investment in the South
of millions of New England money, to
establish at Boston $1,000,000 ma
tional bank, to be called the American
National Bank, the stock Of which it
is proposed to place largely in the
South in connection with this bank
there is to be a bureau of information,
one of whose functions will be to intro
duce the banks Southern stockhold-
ers to New England capitalists.
Another feature OF this new bank
will be the handling of Southern COM
mercial paper, and to that end close
relations will be established with a
large number OF banks from Virginia
to Texas, which, on account OF lack OF
capital, are frequently unable to &C
commodate their best and most solv
ent customers. BY making specially
of handling such paper extensively
this new financial agent Of the South
in Boston will be the means Of largely
increasing the volume OF available
funds, the narrowness of which has Of
ten rendered impossible the materiali
zation of vitally important local enter
prises.

PROVISIONS BURNED.
Mark StrOuse & Co.'s Packing.
House Destroyed.

AT II 80 o'clock yesterday morning the
packing AID provision establishment of
Mark Strouse & Co., on San Bruno road
and Cortland avenue, was completely de-
strOyed by fire. There were two employees
in the place at the time the fire broke out,
Camille KnOpf and Denis Drscoll They
were in the ice packing depart ment, located
in the eastern end of the building, and the
first intimation they had of the fire was
when the door of the apartment was burst
open and a sheet of flame shot in
To escape by the door was impossible,
but not losing their presence OF mind they
smashed one of the windows and Jumped
out into the marsh. They were not any too
soon, for IN another moment the entire
building was wrapped in the flames. In
the meantime neighbors had seen the
fire and an alarm was turned in from Box
2S1 at the corner of San Bruno road and
arrived quickly, but it was some time before
they could turn a stream of water on the
fire, as the nearest hydrant was at Teneritfe
street. Then it was necessary to stretch
1900 feet of hose to reach the fire.
By that time the high wind which was
blowing had famed the flames so that there
was not the least possible chance of saving
anything. The fat meats and lard which
were stored in the place burned like finder.
1t was fortunate that there were no other
buildings in close proximity to the burning
establishment. 1t was fully two hours be-
fore the fire burned itself out. and this the
firemen were compelled to allow it to do, as
the one meager stream which was played
upon it had little or no effect.
The exact origin of the fire is not known,
although it is supposed that it was caused
by a cauldron of lard, which was on the
furnace. and boiling over, became ignited.
The residents in the vicinity were loud in
their remarks as to the scarcity of water
and hydrants, declaring that at least dozen
more hydrants are needed in the vicinity,
as the district is being rapidly built up.
Mr.. Strouse estimates his total loss by the
fire at $4,000 There was an unusually
large stock of smoked and sailed meats in
the place. His insurance is $4,000 and the
stock a total loss. Mr.. Strouse says he will
rebuild Immediately. The establishment
was burned out several years ago. when it
was owned by the Bay City Packing and
Provision Company. In the building de-
str0yed yesterday, valuable refrigeIating
