TOTALLOSS.

An Elevator and a Stea msHip De-
stroyed by Fire,
BALTIMORE, Special.-Elevator No. 3, on
the north side Of the Patapsco river, be-
longing to the Baltimore Elevator com-
pany and used by the Northern Central
Railroad company, was burned tonight
tween $780, 600 and $500 600. The British
steamship Sacrobosco, which was lying
alongside, was also totally destroyed, IN
~volvipg q loss of $15O,OOO Three of the
steamers employes-the chief engineer,
whose name is said to be Koby, and two
seamen, whose names have not yet been
~learned-were either burned or drowned.
The origin of the fire is unknown. A gen.
eral alarm brought all the fire engines in
the city to the scene, but the combined ef-
fire rapidly encircled the elevator and en-
braced the steamship before she could be
run put into the stream. There were 5OO,0 Oo
bushels of wheat and corn in the bins, and
this, too, is entirely destroyed.
The following named, all of the Sarco-
bosco, were injured:
Thomas Knight, the colored cook, OF New
York, injured about the body with timbers; Eli
hurt; A. J.. Robinson of England, hands and
arms burned; Charles Appleton, steward, of Eng.
land, hands burned.
The British steamships North, Erin and
Khio, which were lying aside and were
waiting to load, had their masts burned
away. So quickly did the fire spread, that
the men on the vessels were obliged to jump
overheard into the water, and the excite
ment and confusion was so great that many
of them did not get ashore for over an
hour, having to cling to spars and floating
timbers.

Several people had narrow escapes, but no
one was badly injured. At Brooklyn and

A great deal Of damage was also done in
Southern Indiana, many houses being un-
rooted, and barns and fences leveled in the

Suffocated Before Freezing.

Suffocated Before Freezing.
Scientists describe as wasteful the
present way coal is used. And now
the question is asked, How long will
the worlds supply offuel last? Prof.
E. P. jackson, in the North America
Review, says this is of little import
ance. In the consumption ofcoal man
is only restoring it's elements to their
primeval condition as constituents
chiefly OF the aerial and aqueous
oceans which surround our globe.
These elements greatly aid, sustain
and force vegetable growth, but are
destructive to animal life. So if it
were possible for that period, so
often predicted, to arrive, when the
5000, 200, 900, OOO, tons. more or less,
offossil fuels now stored mp in the
earth's coal bins shall have been con-
sumed, the atmosphere win simply
have returned to it's primeval con-
dition, that which preceded the car
boniferous period, and the percentage
of carbonic acid in the atmosphere
will have passed the point where it is
possible to continue human existence,

Turgenieff's Dinners.

Ahabit ofTurgenieff, says The Fort.
nightly Review, was to invite friends
to dinner and to be absent when they
came, not deliberately Offset purpose,
but because of the little value he set
on his pledged word and the very
faint impression it used to make up
on his mind. He once invited the ia
nous critic Belinsky and five others
to dine with him at his house in the
country, where he had a chief de cut
sine whom he looked upon as a gen.
JUS. II will organize a banquet for
you the likes of which you never
dreamed Of" he said.
He fixed the day and made each
person give his word of honor that
he would come. Don't fear for u.s."
remarked Belinsky, eve shall be
there without fail, but you must not
repeat the trick that you played up
on us last winter, when you asked US
to dine and were not at home when
we came; but, lest you shonld forget
your invitation, l shall write to you
the eve of the day of our arrival"
1t was a sultry day when the whole
six of US set out for Pargolovo in an
open caleche at IL o'clock in the
morning, says one of the persons in
vited. We were thoroughly fatigued
by the heat and dust of the road.
Arriving at Turgenieff's country
house, we alighted with Joy in our
countenances, but we were all struck
with the circumstance that Turge-
nieff did not come out to meet us.
We knocked at the door of the glass
terrace.
The silence of death reigned in the
house. All our faces grew visibly
longer. "Can Turgenieffh have played
the same trick as last winter?" ex-
claimed Belinsky.
But we all calmed him, saying that
we probably arrived earlier than we
were expected. But I wrote to him
that we should he here at l O'clock"
objected Belinsky; "what can it mean?
If they would only admit US into the
room we could wait, but here We are
scorched."
At length a boy came out of the
door and we all piled him with ques-
tions. His master had gone off, he
said, and the chef de cuisine was in
some public house. We gave the ur-
chin money, sent him to fetch the
chef, who should let us in, and mean
while w sat down on the steps olthe
terrace,
We waited long in vain. Belinsky
wanted us to return, but our hired
coachman refused to take us back
until the horses had had a long rest.
So we sat on, hungry andhot. Pan
aieff went to the public house to see
if anything eatable could be procur-
ed, but there Wac nothing to be had.
At last the chefmada his appearance.
"Where is your master?" cried Bel
insky. He did not know. "Did your
master order a Ginnerfo for us to-day"
insisted the critic. "He did nothing
of the kind" was the reply. Amaze
ment and terror were depicted on all
faces. Belinsky famed up, and, look
ing at us in his significant way, ex.
claimed: "Turgenieff has indeedgiv.
en- us a banquet"

A Queer Coincidence.

In Berks county, Pa, at the little
village of Shillington, lives Samuel
Shilling, a living tulflment of a re-
markable coincidence. He first saw
the light of day on Feb. %, 1919.
Beginning with the date OF his birth,
it seems that the father of his coun-
try has kept a watchful eye ON Sam
uel Shilling every day for the pastsev-
enty years.
Shilling was married on Feb. % to
a woman, who, like himself, was born
on that date. Their first child-a
boy-was born on Washington's
birthday, exactly n year to a day
after their marriage, and two years
afterwards, on the same date, twins
"a boy and girl-were added to the
Washington blessed household.
Five years rolled around, when, on
the fifth anniversary OF their wedding,
another infant, a girl, WAS added to
their blessings. The fifth and sixth
child, another pair of twins, came
around on schedule time two years
later, exactly, and upon the seventh
anniversary of the welded life begun
on the natal day of our first presi-
dent
Mr.. Shilling is very proud of the
lucky coincidence that has connected
his name and that of his family so
i~nseperably with that of the immor.
tai George Washington.
Many remarkable stories, all true,
al far as the writer has been able to
ascertain, have been related, but it is
doubtful if there is another case on
record where a father, his vie and
six children all claim one birthday,
and that, too, one of the most his.
torical in the whole calendar.-St.

Worked Both Ways.
Col. Mosby relates the following
amusing incident, which occurred in
a cavalry fight in the Shenandoah
Valley in 1864: In the midst OF a
sharp cavalry engagement with sher-
idan's men in q charge near Berry
vile there came riding into our lines
like q whirlwind a Yankee soldier on
a black horse. A score Of men tried
to stop horse and rider, but the old
blacks blood was up and he went on
clean through our lines before hewas
under control. The rider was sent
TO Libby prison, and we mustered
the black charger into the confeder-
ate service. "a few days later we
charged some OF Clusters men, and
that old black horse was ridden into
the engagement BY one Of onr sol

too, for he carried his rider into the

CHICAGO, S~pecial.-A morning paper says

into its possession, may, if it is followed up
closely by the proper authorities, lead to
an explanation of the extraordinary verdict
in the Cronin case. The following telegram

put off for a week, owing to the absence of

CHICAGO. Special Tslegrsm,-The
mysterious dispatch sent to Matt Gallagher
while the Cronin jury was trying to frame

always been in favor Of the prosecution"
Gibbons called on Judge Longenecker this
evening, and after telling his story was
