Destruction of a Store House and
Goods by Fire and Explosion.

The cit. ems of New Texas, Ian
caster county, were startled by the
report of a heavy explosion about
IL 30 o'clock last Saturday night.
Hurrying out they found the scene of
the explosion was the store of Joseph
Frank, near the centre of the village
The walls of the brick building had
been blown asnnder aud remnants of
the goods were lying all around
whilst fire was completing the work
of destruction. The citizens directed
their efforts to preventing the spread
of the flames to the surrounding pro
perty and rescuing few goods from
the burning pile. The cause of the
Ere and explosion is a mystery. The
explosion evidently resulted from a
keg of powder he had on sale when
the fire reached it. The loss also
includes the destruction of Lyle
postofiice, which was kept in the
store, and the book accounts of Mr..
Frank.
He is unable to account for it only
on the theory that the building had
caught fire from the stovepipe or
been entered and robbed and then
set on fire His store has been brok
en- into and robbed twice within q
year or two.-Oxford Press.

How Much Cash is Required by the
Railroads,


In the numerous discussions that
are going on through the papers and
among the financial experts" we
hear no mention of the immense
sums of money which rerequired to
run the railroads, over and above
what was necessary for that purpose
a dozen years ago. The cash that is
in use daily for the purposes of pay
ing passenger fare and freight on all
the railroads of the country, must
aggregate millions. This money is
kept absolutely out of all other bus
mess. 1t never can enter into the
general business of the coutry. It is
received and held by the agents and
day after day the same amount must
be taken from the general money
supply and devoted to the railroad
business exclusively Checks and
drafts will not answer for this pur
pose, it must be cash and only cash.
While our financial doctors are cud-
ceiling thir brains and declaring there
ought to be, and is enough money in
the country to conduct the business,
they seem never to give the subject
thought that here is business,
which has grown up in compare.
lively short period and which is daily
increasing, that demands larger
amount of cash than any other line
of business. In fact it is all cash
and cannot be conducted by any
other plan All other branches of
business are largely credit, but not so
with railroads. It is cash and moth.
ing but cash. The immense sums
required by the railroads are as com
pletely taken out of all other lines OF
business as if locked up in the treas
ury or the bank vaults. This source
whichis ofrecent growth has created
demand for cash that was in former
periods of stringent money markets
unknown, and is one of the prime
factors which continually adds to
the financial troubles of the country.
More ready money is wanted and no
PLAZA will relieve the present strin-
gency that does not include an adj
ditioD, and very considerable one,
to the volume of currency.
