We Want Clean Pork, Too.

p. d. Armour, who ostensibly left
on his vacation, has, it is claimed, bsen In
constant communication with the German
officials relative to tho raising Of The en-
barge on tho American pig. Although the
information cannot be cosstaASed o1adtal
unless coming directly from Mr. ArmosA.
still 1t comes through man who y sleos
TO him. MIR. Armour has agreed, It u
claimed, to do the following:
Provided the embargo is raised, he will,
first Of all, establish plant at Tollsston,
which for point OF cleanliness cannot b..
excelled anywhere.
Secondly, he will pay tho salary Of an
inspector to be stationed at the yards 70
be appointed by the German government.
Thirdly, In order that there can b no
chance Of contamination, he will ship the
hog products to Germany In . special line
Of steam vessels.
In order to do this 1t will be necessary
to widen the Welland canal or secure
some other such communication with the
seaboard.
MIR. Armour asserts that tho money for
such project will be forthcoming i'm.
mediately upon the raising Of the embargo
on the American hog. 1t b understood
contrary to all reports that the report Of
the stockyards inspector lately sent over
by Germany was against the possibility Of
perfect cleanliness from the standpoint OF
the German secretary,\ SO long - the
yards remain Is they are. Such . great
trade as would be built by these mesna
would require an immense plant Of it,
own, and would therefore create q ueces-
sity of some such place without absolutely
multiplying the use of the present originsl
site. In other words the other site could,
in great sense, be used for the prepare.
tion Of the product for export and the old
one still maintain great deal Of its In.
portance because OF the growing demand
for home consumption.

Powder Explodes in a Depot.

Fifty kegs OF powder in the depot
ut birmingham, Alabama, exploded the
other night, completely wrecking the
building and demolishlng n nuilfbef Of
cars on adjacent side tracks. A fire was
noticed in the building before the powder
exploded, but there was scarcely time to
give tho warning before the explosion fol.
lowed. The depot was almost entirely
destroyed with all Its contents, The latter
are valued at about $500 and tho other
losses will foot up about the same amount,
Only one man was In the building and he
was thrown out Of bed by tho explosion.
A few minutes before the explosion the
watchman had been over the building,
and found 1t all right. The glass was
shattered In all the windows around the
nelghborhood for four or i've blocks and
houses trembled for mile around. II Is
believed that two men seen loafng around
tho building early In tho night set the
building on fire.
