THE FIRE RECORD.

AT Beaver Falls yesterday afternoon, dur
ing the absence of the family, the residence
of Jacob Coll took fire from an over pres
sure of gas and the house and contents were
destroyed. Loss, about 81, 900; partially in
Sured.
AT Philadelphia early yesterday morning
the extensive paper warehouse of A G..
Elliott Co. was glutted by fire. Estimated
loss on stock, s3O, 900, covered by Insurance.;
loss on building, S35, 900: A fireman named
Louis Bergans fell from u ladder and was
badly injured.
AT Alum Cave, Sullivan county, Ind,
yesterday, fire almost completely destroyed
the machinery of the mine of the New Pitts
burg Coal and Coke Company. There has
been a strike ut the mine for a week past,
and it is thought the mine was set on fire
after midnight this morning. The mine was
worked by machinery, which was of the
costliest kind and the most complete of any
in the State for handling coal and burning
coke. The company estimates the loss at
500 O00 with two-thirds insurance. 1t will
be impossible to resume work inside of sew
eral months.
AT Norfolk yesterday evening, during a
terrific thunder and rain storm, fire broke
out in the Norfolk Storage Company's build
ing and quickly spread to the warehouse oc-
cupied by the American Fertilizer Company.
The next building to catch was the ware
house of the Merchants and Farmer s. Pea
nut Company, then Lyman, Field & Co.'S
warehouse and the Etna Iron Works fol-
lowed Marshall & Greener's barrel factory
was also burned. The fire then caught in
George W. Taylor & Co.'S ice, coal and wood
ware house. The origin of the fire. the larg-
est Norfolk has had for years, is unknown.
The loss on peanuts is estimated at $50 OOO
and Oh buildings at Sis, 900; insurance heavy.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
SECRETARY FOSTER SAYS THE GOLD
BASIS WILL BE MAINTAINED.

A Statement From the Secretary on the
Treasurys Refunding Operations
About SIS, 500, 900 Four and Half Per
Cent Bonds Extended So Far.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - Secretary
Foster made the following statement to-day
in regard to the refunding operations and
the financial situation generally:
"About SIS, ,500,0 600 of Az per cent bonds
have been extended, and applications have
been received covering about 81, 500, 900
more. What the final outcome may be, of
course do not know. 1t is probable, how
ever, that a considerable portion of the
balance $3.50, ,OOO, ,O0O) will be extended 1t
will be no hardship to the Treasury to be
called upon to pay those not extended. In
fact, such payment will add, by the amount
paid, to the money in the hands of the
people. By the extension, we succeeded in
preventing a decrease of National bank
notes. and in fact have so far increased their
circulation nearly five millions. The out
look is that considerable more of an increase
will be effected.
"I am not finding any fault with the
action of the banks, as might be inferred
from recent publications. / saw Mr.. Sher-
man at Mansfield / always find it profit
able to discuss money matters with him. L
do not recall single disagreement between
us. The statement telegraphed from Mans
field regarding our conference is pure
romance. While there is less money in the
Treasury than for many years past, it is in
a comfortable condition. Because of less
money in the Treasury, it follows that more
money than ever before is in the hands of
the people, thus facilitating the conduct Of
the business of the country.
1--WE are on gold basis, and there is no
occasion for alarm as to the ability of the
Government to maintain this condition.
The Secretary has ample power to maintain
or increase the present reserve of gold. 1
may add that 9Ir. Sherman fully agreed
with me regarding the legal power of the
Secretary as above expressed. L do not see
any occasion for the exercise of this power,
but do not hesitate to say, should the oc-
casion arise, shall not fail to use it. %
The Treasury shipments of small notes to
the West, for use in moving the crops, ag-
gregate to date Sc, ,25O, 900, of which amount
nearly 81, 900, OO0 were shipped during the
present month. The movement began on
July 15,' and will probably continue for
some time.

SPLENDID CHANCE FOR POLITICIANS
TO REACH THE FARMER'S.

Peffer and Simpson to Make Speeches
Alongside of Pattison, Hastings and

Show Ever Given-A Big Attendance.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH,1
MT. GRETNA, Aug. 15.-The farmers
encampment, which will open here to-
morrow, promises to largely eclipse that of
last year in the quantity and quality of the
agricultural machinery exhibited and the
number of people who will be attracted
to this popular place. Great
interest is shown in the speeches
of Governor Pattison, Senator PETER, Con-
gressman-elect Simpson, of Kansas, General
Hastings and Chauncey F. Black, all of
whom have indicated their purpose to talk
to the farmers. These celebrities, with
other attractions, are expected by the man
ayers of the encampment to bring together
900 people
The platform area for the accommoda-
tion of machinery has been increased from
$4,000 to 100000 square feet and all of it
will be occupied by exhibitors representing
firms in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware, Vir-
ginla, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Massachusetts,, Missouri. Kentucky,
Tennessee, West Virginia and other
states Everything in the agricultural
implement line from a wagon back to
traction engine will be represented at the
encampment. Over a hundred cars of ma
chlnery have already been unloaded and
much more is on the way The display
will nearly double that of last year.
Lieutenant Governor Jones, of New
York, writes that his firm had not intended
to make an exhibition at any of the fairs
but that Mt. Gretna promised so large an
exhibition that it could not afford to stay
away. The platforms are built in blocks
l5o feet front by 30 deep. The ground will
be illuminated with electric lights.
Tomorrow the encampment will be opened
with religious exercises, and Rev. Charles

BERNHARDT A YANKEE.
MORE EVIDENCE THAT THE DIVINE
SARAH Is A NATIVE.

Mrs. Bell, Her Alleged Sister, Writes Let
ter Full of "Reminiscences of the Actress
Childhood-she Once Lived in Iowa
Her First Marriage.
TULARE, CAL, Aug. 15.-Considerable
interest has been manifested here In the
publication some time since of the fact that
sister of the great actress, Sarah Bernhardt,
resided in this county. Sarahs sister was
said to be Mrs. L. E. Bell, of White River.
Further evidence of this fact and of the ad-
ditional statement that the divine Sarah is
an American by birth is contained in the
following letter, received here from Mrs.
Bell:
You ask me if Sarah Bernhardt is my
sister. Yes, she is my own dear sister Sarah.
When last saw her she was pretty, dear
little girl. 1t was in 1852. l lett her living
Cedar county, Ia. came to California when
but a little girl, with my brother and his
wife. and after time my older sister wrote
me that my sister Sarah had gone away; that
she had quarreled with my sister Mary ana
had told her that as she was always
quarreling she would go away, and II any OF
them ever came where she was she woulo go
where they would never hear OF her again.
She went to Davenport, Ia, to work in
dressmaking establishment. After she hao
been there some time, John Fmef1eld, my
sister MARY nus visited DdY6npOTb Ou
business, and called at the dressmakers' to
get Sarah to go home with him. When
Sarah saw him she went out by another
door, and when he had gone, came back, col
lected her wages and left for Terew, Ill,
where she again secured employment at
dressmaking. She became acquainted there
with gentleman from New York City and
married him, after which she went to New
York to live.
We heard no more of her I was almost
crazy about her, for she was our baby sister
and always thought so much of her. 1
wrote many letters, directing them to New
York and Terew, but with no result, SO l
ceased writing and mourned her as lost. l
never ceased inquiring for her, however, of
every person l met from New York, but
heard nothing until got letter this spring
from my brother John King, saying that my
sister, Sarah Bernhardt had written to my
niece, Mary E. Mum, stating that she had
m arried man by the name of Bernhardt
and was an actress and would be in the
United States in the spring. She said she
would be in San Francisco April "a and re-
sister. She told my niece she would travel
all over the world and that she had her son
and his wife with her.
l could tell you many little anecdotes re-
garding Sarah but 1 will relate only one.
When we were little girls going to school we
had an exhibition and all of us were to
speak. Sarah was wee bit of thing, but was
down for a recitation. She would not tell us
what she had, and when she came out we all
wondered what her piece would be. She
looked like little fairy, and she said:

Which grow from here to Uncle Biliy's,
