Senator Beck.

senator Beck Of Kentucky dropped
dead at the railroad depot in WASH
ington City on May 3, on his arrival
from New York, in company with his
daughter.
The Senator had been unwell for
some time, and had attended bnt few
sessions of the senate in the present
Congress. His death was expected
at any time, by his friends. but not so
suddenly as it occu. red. James G
Beck wasone of the ablest of American
Statesman, a pure and honorable man
untalnted with any of the corruption
that so profisely fills the atmosphere
Of the capital. The Democratic
party loses a leader that stood Mt ifs
head, during its dark days for the last
70 years, and barred his manly breast
to the arrows of its enemies, and in no
debate has he ever been vanouished
but ably maintained himself against
the weapons of his opponents.
In Beck and Randall. the Democracy
has lost two of its ableSt and purest
men. Les it build an everlasting
to their memory by over
theenenies whom they have
Grandly held in check for % wears.

had. One rainy night | went out from

er's folks were away and that he had
gone after them. But | didn't know
but that there was Waterman, 50 l
was little careful in my business:
After entering the most of the rooms
concluded that was alone. so l pusheu
omen door and walked into an up
stairs room near the front of the house.
Greatly to my surprise, found man
living on the bed smoking cob pipe.
There was a bright moon OUTSIDE by TINS
time. the sky having cleared and, as he
had the shutters open and his blinds up
the room was quite light. 1t was the
proprietor; he was not going after ms
family until the next day.
The fellow was the coolest one ever
saw; he smoked away, apparently en-
loving my surprise, but finally he said;
We'll, who are YOU? | knew l was In
for tussle, so | said was burglar,
all the time watching him. He made
no attempt to move, remaining
stretched out on the bed and puillnS
away at the cob pipe. l'll tell you
what I'll do with YOU he said; I'm
lonesome, and if you will amuse me un-
Til | am sleepy you can take anything
you want. I'll show you wnat
we've got; it amt much, and you can
take your pick. What do you say" |
supposed the fellow was playing me
trick. but he seemed perfectly in earn
est. and he got up and made light.
Producing pack of cards from table
drawer he began shutting them, and
invited me to play California Jack Tor
30 cents hand. Remembering that
had no pipe, he found another one with
a sack of tobacco, and then, seating
himself again. asked me to cut for deal.
He made three points to my one, ana
threw him out half dollar.
This pleased him so much that ne
produced Il jug of whisky and pitcher
of water, but he had only one glass, and
he said he wouldn't go down stairs after
another one. He was quite gay over
having company, and drank so much
that he began Boosting after while
that he could beat any man on earth

surprisingly good game; he won 50

BRICKYARD RUINED
A DISASTROUS FIRE ON THE PENINSULA
LAST NIGHT.
Fire DestrOyes the Dry Houses in Mckinley & Co.'S
Brickyard-Fully 10000 Brick Destroyed.
The Loss Over $4,000.

Last night about 6 O'Clock the report was
current about town that the town of Full
ton was in the embrace of the fiery fiend,
and many were the anxious inquiries. 1t
was feared that some of the large butch
ers' establishments of that town, particu-
larlv Schenck's packing house, were vic
Tins of the blaze, and there was naturally
much alarm. Investigation showed,
however. that the fire was located on the
Peninsula, where the flames were feeding
with dire effect upon Mckinley X Co. S
brickyard. go,
The fire was first discovered by little
colored boy by the name of Joshua t1elds'
who happened to be in one OF the frame dry
houses where it caught. 1t had gained
some little Roadway when discovered, out
the neighbors were quickly notlhed, ana
there was soon large crowd OF men ana
boys fighting the flames which. aided by
the wind. were now raging with reckless
unconfne. An alarm was turned IN
at the Central Glass Works, and the tre
department quickly responded, but the fre
had gained too great a Roadway before the
arrival of the engines to render their ala OF
any avail.
The fire quickly consumed the frame
building in which it started, and spread 10
the large frame buildings also used as dry
houses. all of which were quickly reduced
TO ashes The sheds were all one story
high but were of considerable size. the
largest one being POO by 50 feet and the
other two being 100 by 40 feet and $50 by 50
feet. An engine room 30 by 40 feet was also
DESTROYED Owing to the light structure
of the buildings the fire was one OF the
quickest seen in this locality for long time.
1t seemed but few moments from the dis
covery of the blaze TO the complete demoh-
ton of the property. 1t was burned nat
with the ground The frame buildings de-
stroyed were used as storage or dry houses,
and at the time of the fire there were some
10000 green brick in the three
buildings, all of which will be
total loss. In the confusion ana
turmoil of the fire, the bricks tumbled
down into promiscuOus heap. The whole
brick plant covers nearly two acres, one
half of which is included in the burnt dis
trict. The large grinder, which alone rep
resents cost of nearly $1,000 was prac-
tically wrecked, all of the wood work being
consumed The total loss it is thought will
be in the neighboOrhOOd of $1,000. II IS re-
ported there is u light insurance on the
property.
The firm of Mckinley * Co. is composed
of James Mckinley, John Butts and Burt
Watson The foreman Of the plant IS Andy
Armstrong. who was quickly on the scene.
Mr.. Armstrong was at a loss 10 understood
how the fire originated, and none OF the
persons on the ground could account for the
fire The building in which the fire started
had only been completed short time.
