NOTES.

Philadelphia had q 5000 200 fire
Sunday, the chief loss being a wall
paper mandatory of the Carey Bro
theirs, prObaly the most complete fac
tory of the kind in the United States
The building was considered as nearly
fire-proof as it is possible to make
such a structure, but it was filled with
inflammable material, and in half an
hour the whole blishment was IL
ruins. Two hundred people were thus
thrown out of employment.
The census enumeratOrs are poster
ed by inquiries as to the number OF
the peOple that their enumeration has
disclosed as residing in town, but the
questiOners get very little satisfaction
as the enumerators would subject
themselves to a fine of $500 if they
divulge even the most trivial details.
The cities finished their enumeration
June IA, so that the figures are now
obtainable from Washington, but In
the country the work was not con-
Guided until July LIST.
This is a fast age, and no record is
safe from demolition. Belle Hamlln,
Buffalo horse, has just made an
eighth of mile in Lax seconds, the
swiftest speed that ever attained by
any equine Kept up for "a mile, this
would cover the distance in 1:5S, con-
siderably less the best time made by
Maud S.-2.OS&. The speed might
not be maintained for the whole dis
lance, but it seems likely that the
question, Can a horse trot in less
than two minutes? may possibly be
answered in the affirmative. The old
fashioned 2:40 trotters seem very
slow coaches in these rustling days.
