Knocks Out Grain Gamblers.

The supreme court of Minnesota has
handed down a decision of Importance
to grain gamblers, which knocks out
dealers in futures in one sweeping
blow. The court holds that contracts
for the sale and delivery of grain or
other commodities to be delivered at
future day are not per Sc unlawful
when the parties in good faith intend
to perform them according to their
terms. But contracts in form for fu-
ture delivery not intended to represent
actual transaction, but merely to pay
and receive the difference between the
agreed price and the market price at a
future day, are in the nature of wagers
on the future price, and void.

BIG FIRE AT PITTSBURG.
Arbuckle Block and IA Number of ADDS
cent Buildings Go.

PTTrsBuRG, Pa, May Ga fire that
broke out in this city just before mid
night proved one of the most danger
Gus the city department ever encount-
cred. The first blaze was discovered
in the lower floor of the great
Arbuckle building on Seventh
Street, ner Duquesne. 1t is occu-
pied by the Grocers Supply and
Storage Company, and the seyen-story
structure, 100 feet wide and several
hundred feet deep, was soon a mass of
flame from roof to cellar The heat was
so intense the tiremen found it impossl-
bic to reach the building with water,
and in short while the adjoining
buildings were ablaze and the entire
square was menaced. The high wind
swept the fire acress TO the Plttsbur9
Female College building, where
a lively scene was presented
as the several scores of lady students
scurried about amid a shower of sparks,
attempting to save their belongings.
They were finally taken to hotel and
the fire completely burned the hand
some interior of the large building
Then the high walls Of the Arbucklc
building began falling, and the mass
of flames, driven by the winds
caught the steeple of the Christ
NJ. +. Church on Pennsylva-
mia Avenue, which blazed like IA bea-
con, towering far above the weak
streams directed toward it. The church
soon shared the fate of the other build
ings. \ perfect maize of wires ran
along both Seventh and Pennsylvania
streets, and the church steeple, a per
feet blaze of light, crashed down, the
electric sparks adding new terror to
walls crashing on every side.
At A. NJ the firemen were still work
ing hard, and it is believed the flames
are under control, though nearby busl-
ness blocks We're thought lost at one
time The losses are SO widely dlstrb-
uted it is impossible to secure them pre-
cisely, but they will certainly reach
$4,000.
At | 80 \. NJ. the fire caught up row
Of tenement houses on Seventh Street
At this hour it is thought the tenements
and surrounding buildings will be saved.
