DAMAGING FLAMES.
Large Packing in Chicago De-
stroyed bY Fire.

stroyed by Fire.
CHICAGO, September 26h.-The Anglo
American Packing Company's establish
ment at the stock yards was damaged By
FIRE early this morning to the extent of
$3.50 900. The fire was one of the worst
the department ever had to deal with. The
alarm was turned in just before . o'clock,
when flames were seen in the packing
room. When the first engines arrived the
room was a mass Of flames. Water had
little effect on the erease-soaked floors and
the fire soon reached room where thirty
two tanks of lard were located These ex-
ploded one after another, and the melted
lard added fresh fuel to the flames. The
heat was so intense that the fremen were
forced back and compelled to work from a
distance.
The flames then spread to the cooling
room, where the carcasses OF nearly 1000
hogs were stored. They burned like oil.
Water seemed useless, and the twenty en-
CINE companies at work made little head
way. More engines were summoned, but
two hours after the fire started the roof fell
in and the flames seemed to spread more
rapidly than ever. The hundred streams
of water being poured on the fire appeared
to have no effect.
About this time the flames reached a lot
of saltpetre, and the flames from this
stihed the fremen, overcoming several of
them. The fire marshals directed all the
efforts CT their men TO preventing spread
of the flames from the Apglo-American
plant. Within short distance of the es-
tablishmeut are several other large packing
houses, and for time it was feared the
flames would communicate to them. The
firemen succeeded, however, il controlling
it.
At O'Clock this morning it was seen to
be impossible to extinguish the burning
pork, and water was thrown on it TO keep
the fire down as much as possible. 1t will
have to bum out, and probably it will be a
day or two before entirely extinguished.
The fire department succeeded in saving
the other portion Of the Anglo-American
plant from other serious damage. The loss
is entirely covered by insurance.
The company that had been conducting
the business was composed of Englishmen.
Recently, however, a new company was
formed. known as the Fowler Bros. Cim-
ited). 1t was incorporated in England
with a capitalization of f750,000, with a
proposal to acquire the business of several
firms here and elsewhere.

CONDITION OF IRELAND.
The Cabinet Pays Little Heed to tn,
Cries of Distress.

LoHpov, September 2Sth-The Cabinet
was 10 have met early in October Tor the
express purpose of taking into considera-
ton the condition of Ireland. the influence
of public opinion in condemnation of the
carelessneEs of the Government in the face
of the reports of widespread distress being
felt to be too strong TO be ignored.
The least excuse, however, serves to give
the Ministry warrant to go On doing moth
ing but maliciously depressing the Irish
people and their leaders, and the report of
the Financial Secretary of the Treasury
has been received by Lord Salisbury as
sufficient reason for continued inaction,
and has caused him to postpone conven-
ing the Ministers. They will probably
not meet now until just before the reas-
sembling of Parliament in the latter part
of November.
The report limits the area of the potato
blight to the western district of Ulster and
Connaught and the southwestern part of
Munster, while. according to his state
ment, fair crops and general prosperity
prevail elsewhere throughout Ireland.
1t is scarcely necessary to tell you that
such report as this is not generally cred
tied, although it is received in Government
circles as Just the sort that is useful at this
iuncture. Ii is the policy of the Conser7a-
tives 10 minimize the reports of the distress
in Ireland as much as possible, and thus
the estimates of the Tory newspapers are
so put as to show that the potato blight
does not affect more than onetwentieth
part of the population of the distressed dis
lricts, the relief of whom, it is asserted, is
already within the scope of the local
boards.
The Parnellites are busily preparing an
of raliaf xrh hirh &c
pected to DE in full working order before
the terrible results of the threatened famine
reach their elimination.
They are waiting, however, for some
clear indication of what projects the Gov
eminent has in hand, and look for Cabi-
net meeting and some humane action by
the Ministers

TO coURTLAND BY WHEEL.
A Group of Bicyclists Make the Roun,
Trip in Pretty Good Shape.

n
Trip in Pretty Good shape.
Eight members Of the Capital City
Wheelmen made "club run" to Court
land yesterday. Usually at this time of the
year the county roads are 10 anything but
a good wheeling condition, and at the out
set visions of rough and dusty ones made
some of the riders feel a little serious, as
the round trip is about A miles. How
ever, thoughts of Houston's Sunday din
ner, which they knew awaited them on
their arrival at Courtland, served TO keen
up the spirits of the party at first, and
later the pleasant surprise CT good roads
with some minor exceptions-put everyone
in the best of humor.
A great many falls were the result of one
strip Of very bad road, none Of which re-
suited seriously. The Star" rider anxious
to show the superiority of his wheel in re-
gard to safety, undertook to give an exhi-
bition of riding the foot-path on top of the
lsvee. He neglected to take notice Of
hole thereon, and the result was that wheel
and rider suddenly disappeared from the
view of the balance of the crowd. The
ambitious wheelmen was fshed from the
top of picket fence at the bottom of the
ditch, so ratified that he was an object of
fear all the way home, as he kept falling
at most importune moments and seemed
to have an insane desire 10 take someone
else down with him each time.
Another of the party made too frequent
stops at the numerous vineyards along the
way. The grspss did not agree with him.
and his spasmodc efforts TO maintain his
equilibrium furnished considerable amuse-
ment for the rest.
Everyone who started made the trip in
good shape, and they declare that those of
the club who did not go missed great
party was composed of Messrs. Upson,
Brown, Rivett, Gilbert, Hubert, Psbst,
Trumpler and Leadbetter.

The Anti-Socialist Law VIII Expire on
Wednesday.
New YORK, September 2sih.-A Sun
Berlin special says: The anti-Sccialist Law
viii expire on Wednesday next, and there
is great increase in activity in the Social
Isl camp. Several new journals are to be
started to spread the red light Of the Social
ist doctrines among the laboring classes.
In many esses these newspapers will take
the titles of journals suppressed years sgo,
il the first fury of Bismarckian oppres-
sion.
The split in the SociGlis: party is far
from healed. Proof OF this is supplied by
the attitude of the more rabid leaders on
the question OF female workers in factories.
The advanced parties, who are called
Freshmen" in contrast to older and more
conservative members, ike Beoel, Liebt-
necht and Won Volmar, have decided not 70
support by resolution, at the Congress in
the fall, any changes of the present con-
dition of female labor.
During his visit at R0hnstock, the En-
peror found time TO issue decree abolish
ing night work by women az The Govern
ment establishments. This called forth a
proclamation from the younger branch of
Socialists declaring the abolition OF
female labor in any shape or
form. The women once vanished
from the factories, would again be
domesticated drudges. There must, there
fore, be an end to the agitation for the ex-
clusion OF women from any work, and for
their remuneration at the same rate as
men.
Christianson, Wesenack, Grothe, Kessler
and Reiessns, who have been sentenced to
banishment, are shortly expected to return
TO Berlin from America.
II is now definitely settled that Gen.
eral Won Verdy will retire from Of
fee as Minister of War in Octo-
Der, in consequence of his blunder
in Berlin statistics during the last mill
tary debate in the Roichstag. and his with
drawal from the Office will probably in
volve the still more important resignation,
Count Won Waldersee, as Chief of Staff.

THE ISLAND OF CUBA.
An Insurrection of the Worst Kind
Looked For.

An insurrection OF the worst ANU
Looked For.
LONDON, September 2Sth.-The Madrid
newspapers assert that an insurrection of
the worst description may be looked for
ere long in Cuba, unless prompt steps be
taken TO remedy the evils existing there.
The res espeetable population is growing
more and more impatient under the pres
ent condition of affairs, and it would not
be surprising to see the lone-star fsg again
raised by an organized band of insurgents.
One newspaper goes so far as to say that
preparations for the insurrection are well
under way, and that arms and ammunition
are being procured under cover in America
and Europe. A noted Cuban exile, who
was active ia the last insurrection, recently
departed suddenly from his home in Paris
to New York, and the Spanish Minister is
much exercised over this and other om-
inous incidents.
Spain is in no financial condition for
costly war in Cuba or any other part of the
world, and affairs on the island are viewed
with great anxiety. An insurrection as
formidable as that of twenty years ago
would stand a much greater chance of sue
cess to-day than at that time.

been brought in the Superior Court of this
city by Edward Hstton against A. G.
Holmes Notary Public of this city, snd
against Henry Hamilton aud George Han
son, his boldsmen, for 81 ,000 damages for
making fraudulent acknowledgment.
This case is very similar 10 the Dick swim
die, recently perpetrated in San Francisco.

8, 1889 the defendant took acknowledge
ment OF person who falsely represented
herself to be Mrs. Maria j. Keifer to a
mortgage purporting TO be executed to
plaintiff By herself and husband, ]. w.
Keifer uponlcertein real estate, to secure a
debt of 81 900 and interest set forth as due
plaintiff from them.
The complaint alleges that the mortgage
was false and forged instrument, of
which Mrs. Keifer and her husband had no
knowledge, and that the person who signed
and acknowledged the same was not Mrs.
Keifer at all, but some other person.
The defendant is alleged TO have negl-
gently and falsely certified that the person
personating Mrs. Keifer was known to
him to be the genuine Mrs. Keifer.

"As an evidence OF the ability OF joys

This offer so startlingly asserted the eff
cheney of the remedy that many accepted,

WASHINGTON, September 2Sh.-How
much time the Senate will consume in the
discussion of the conference report on the
tariff cannot be stated accurately, but the
leaders on both sides think vote can be

the general deficiency bill is the only other
measure likely to secure the attention of
the Senate. That is now pending in the

With the exception of the conference re-
port on the general deficiency bill the
House has completed its labors, and waits
upon the Senate. While waiting, some
