Riotous Bser Drtnkers.


The brewers are wont to extol their
beer as a, temperance drink. and as .
quiet, harmless beverage. But facts
from many sources tell heavily against
them. Several returning cattlemen,
who took passage from London by the
steamer Chicago not long ago, stole
some beer from the hold of tho vessel,
and soon after began to terrify the sail
ors, and to paint the steamer red"
On arriving at this port they were ar
rested. and United States Commissioners
Shields has decided that three of them
must be held for extradition. So they
will have another voyage across the
Atlantic and with ! fair chance of be-
coming acquainted with the inside of .
British prison. But If beer is really
the innocent beverage the brewers
claim that it is, how did all this happen3
Those unhappy, and, whom drinking
beer, rather dangerous cattlemen might
have indulged in water or milk to any
extent without becoming violent

ROAST PORK.

Ono of Chicago's Big Packing Houses.
That of Fowler Bros. Destroyed by Fire
The Loss Estimated ut $7OO,OOO.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20. - Fowler Bros.
packing-houses, one of the largest es.
adjustments at the stock yards, took
fire about $3.50 a. m. Sunday, and at mid
night the ruins were still blazing.
The firemen worked against obstacles
from the start. Water had little effect
on tho grease-soaked floors, and the fire
soon reached the tank-room, where
thirty-two tanks of lard were located.
These exploded one after another with
loud reports and the boiling lard burned
fiercely. The heat was so intense the
firemen were compelled to work at q
distance. The flames spread to the
cooling-room and eomti1enced burning
the carcasses of the hogs hanging there.
In the room were $3.50 hogs. and they
burned like oil. The roof fell in about
an hour after the fire started and the
conflagration became more furions. The
west wall of the packing-house fell soon
after the roof went down At 4
o'clock a. m. the fire was under control:

guish the burning pork and water was
thrown on it to keep the fire down as
much as possible. It was that which
kept the iremen at,work all of Sunday
and tits still burning.
The buildings destroyed were begun
in 1872, and have been added to from
time to time since. The entire plant, IN.
Guiding buildings, mathincry, fixtures,
etc., have cost about 81, 500, 900. 1t is
carried on the books of the company,
now, however, at about half that figure
About 1900 men and girls were en-.
ployed by the company. The girls
were employed in sewing hams, trim
ming meat and other light work.
Mr.. Fowler estimates his loss as fol
lows: On the building and machinery,
$l25, 000;' 1000 dressed hogs hanging in
the Westinghouse, $75,Ooo; on the
twenty tanks; OF lard, the meat and
hams and other products. $500, 600, max.
ing total of 100000 The loss is fully
covered bv insurance.

was forbidden to see HIM The warning
only served to strengthen her affections
for Baxter, and she finally consented to
marty him When news of the ap-

ears he was furious and told her he
would kill her if she married young
Baxter. Saturday night the girl took
the house, donned her wedding gar

q m utual friend two blocks distant from
her home. She did not go home
Saturday night, but Sunday morning
about 9 o'clock she went over
to her fathers house to ask his forgive

friends house. When she entered the
house she found her father Sitting en- i

charged one barrel at her head, blow

and pulled the trigger. The remaining
load entered his head, blowing it off his
shoulders. His headless body fell back

was too much for his overweight
