\ south African Monarch Who May Fight.
South African advices represent that
Lobengula, the king Of Matabeland, is
very much irutated with the course of the
British company. which has recently been
admitted to certain privileges in his do
minions. and that his people are ripe for
war Lobengula is the most powerful
monarch in South Africa, and is able 10
muster an army of 10000 well trained
fighting men. The warriors are more
ANXIOUS for war than the king, who under
stands something of the extent Of British
power and is slow to enter upon conflict.
Should Lobengula go to war against the
coloris.s, it would be more serious at,
fair than the struggle with the Zulus.

to do is to buy, and buy at once The

FRAMg sTAsLs euRNEp.


About o'clock this morning, when
hundreds Of workmen were going to
their daily labor, an alarm OF fire was
sounded from box No. 81, at
Lancaster avenue snd Ssarles street
The entire department responded,
IS two alarms were turned ia.
The cause of the alarm was FIRE in the
stable on this property Of William Bush
at Broome and Beech streets Mr. Bush's
property occupies the two entire blocks
between Beech and Oak, ard Breome and
Clayton streets. The stable IN which
the fire started is in the southeastern
corner Of the property. The building
was of frame ana was strong, we'll built,
and had jEst been painted and repaired.
When the FIRE started there were In
the stable two horses, FIVE carriages and
a quantity Of feed These we're saved by
the employees One of the men also saved
the harness which had been in the build
ing even when the fire had gained much
Roadway. Some hay had been placed in
the building but short time ago, and
there was also about two tons of
hay and straw. These had all been taken
from the bHilding before the fire started.
Tive sleighs which were In the stable
were also saved by the firemen when
they arrived. The hremen arrived as
soon as possible, as they had the long
hill on Lancaster avenue to ascend. The
Weccacoe company secured the plug at
Clayton and Beech streets, and the Fame
hose company secured the one at Clay
ton and Maple. Throug some defect no
water could be obtained from this plug,
and the Weccacoe had to aetach its hose.
The Fame Rose quickly got a stream on,
but by this time the fire had gained
such Roadway that the stream was of no
use on the burning building The Ere
men when they saw that it was useless
to try to save the stable, turned the
water on the adjoining buildings to
keep them from becoming Quilted. They
succeeded In doing this, but the table
and some trees were totally DESTROYED.
Thousands Of people crowded the
beautiful grounds about the burning
building, and they destroyed much of
the handsome shrubbery and lawn.
The gardeners got small hose which
is kept on the premises and attached it
to hydraRt. but it was of no avail and
1t was taken off again. The building was
Of wood, and despite the heavy rain Of
last night, the stable burned very
the Ere started the building was in ashes.
The fremen worked valiantly and pulled
down one side of the building to make
room for the streams of water with
which they endeavored to extinguish the
flames. During the progress of the fire
the men were served with milk by the
family servants.
The members Of the family say that the
IRE was of incendlary origin
but they have no suspicion as to whe
ignited the building. The building was
very pretty and was built of the best
material and calculated to Withstand any
force. The loss was So, 800; insurance
81, 500. The lack of water at the plug,
at Clayton and Beech streets was great
detriment to the work of extinguishing
the flames and this shoald be remedied
The Nsccscoe company had very hard
work to ascend the Lancaster avenue
hill.

The cars which the Jackson and Sharp

do not touch like American
cars, being about four feet apart when
coupled, and iron aprons and ratings
form the bridge. The entrance is through
the vestibule and by steps like American
cars. The exterior is mahogany, natural

GARBAGE CONTRACTORS.
soms Wen Known Men Speak OF what
Should BE Dons by Them.

soms Well Known Men Speak OF what
Should BE DoMe by Them.
Several prominent men we're talking in
an East side Office this morning about the
garbage contracts. The general opin-
ion seems to be that too many com
plants come in against them. One man
said that II every person who had cause
for complaint should complain
at the office there would probably
be several hundred complaints per
day. The carts are loaded entirely too
heavily and often break down. One of
Grinnage's carts broke down at Seventh
and Windsor streets on Wednesday after
noon, and the odor was terrible. Another
cart broke down on Tuesday afternoon.
One cart the other day, was loaded with
two and a-half tons of garbage
within four squares. One man
said "The contractors bid entirely
too low on the work, and did not get
enough to pay them to do the work
properly. The Board OF Health for years
past has given the contract for removing
garbage to the highest bidder instead OF
the lowest, as the members of
the board know that the con-
tractors will not do the work
thoroughly for the small price which
they ask. The bids will probably be
higher this year than ever before, as the
contractors have begun to understand
that the board does not want cheap, but
good work. 1t will pay to have the gar
bage removed properly and stop COM
plants"
