ST. LOUIS, June 29.-The wholesale and retail
grocery establishment of David Nicholson was
completely burned this morning. The fire was
discovered on the fourth floor and spread SO
rapidly that all the fremen could do was to save
the adjoining property. The north wall OF the
Nicholson building toppled over on to the one
story building adjoining, demolishing 1t. Sew

firm were damaged by the fire. The fire oc-
Cured at o'clock and the guests at the Ivy
house adjoining, rushed from their rooms and
climbed down the fire escape in their night
clothes, many of them having narrow escapes
from being trampled to death. The heaviest

most destroyed. The insurance is Sis, COO.
Other losses amount to about $4,000, which is
partially CO vered by insurance. The cause Of
the FIRE is unknown.

The Avenues of the Courts Opened to

CHICAGO, June 30.-An injunction re-
straining certain creditors from proceeding
TO collect from the original directors of
the Pacific Railway Company will,
it is expected, be rescinded tomorrow.
Argument was made before the master in
chancery, George Miles Rogers, today.
The finding is of much importance, as it
not only opens the avenues of courts to the
creditors concerned in this particular case,
which involves shout sls5,oo0 worth
of notes and bonds, but it affects
directly other cases involving much larger
amounts. The master in chancery said
tonight that he had found in favor of the
creditors, but refused to talk concerning

SITUATION AT NEWCASTLE.
T. b. Corey Says Everything Is Quiet
and the Negroes Are Working Well.

T. B. Corey, the superintendent of the Oregon
Improvement Company mines, was in the city
yesterday, having returned from Newcastle, to
which the party of negroes had been taken
from Franklin. He said to a PosT-INTELLIGES-
GER reporter: 81 wish to correct one statement
in some of the published accounts of the affair
We took between 1S5 and $50 negroes from
Franklin to Newcastle, instead of from sixty to
seventy. We anticipated some trouble at New
castle on our arrival, and so we took none but
volunteers. They are all settled there now and
working away steadily.
"All is quiet at Franklin, and the men are
doing good work. There has been a good deal Of
talk that the negroes cannot work as well a. the
whites, but can say that l am satisfied with
what they have done. The whites used to hoist
from 10 to $50 tons dav. asked the negroes
on Saturday to see what they could do, and
they dug out POS tons"

BLACK DIAMOND SYMPATHY.
The Camp Stands by FrankIin-Dr.
Smart Condemned.

BLACK DIAMOND, June 3O.-[special THE
following resolutions were passed at q meeting
of citizens Of Black Diamond today:
Resolved, That we condemn the action of the
Sullivan thugs passing through Black Diamond
Sunday evening, June 2S, 1891, the result of kill
ing and wounding women and citizens, and they
had hardly reached the outskirts of the town
when they began shooting Unfortunately;
and we hold that the reckless discharge of such
firearms as were shot, caused the shooting of
two innocent women, one of whom is not ex-
pected to live.
Reso!ued, further, That we condemn the
cowardiy act of Park Robinson in numbering
our fellow workmen, Morris and Williams, and
as law~abiding citizcns we extend our sympathy
to our fellow citizens in Franklin.
RESOLVED, further, That We condemn the action
OF Dsputy Coroner Smart. In the first place he
failed to panel a jury; secondly, he was SO in
toxicated that he could not sign his name. And
we maintain that the so-called inquest was only
farce and we think the coroner should hold
the inquest In person or send a At deputy to con-
duct the same. ID. K. MoNAHAN,

valiant battle for the farmers against

The first articles published in

Literary Note.

The American magazines have come 10
be recognized the world over as the best
Illustrated and most ably conducted; in
fact, it is said that larger editions are sold
in England of at least two of our leading
magazines than of any of the English
monthlies. This condition has resulted
from the fact that the American magazines
hesitate at no expense, either for the pur-
chase of manuscript or illustration. $50,-
coo has been paid by one magazine for
single series. Millions are invested in the
business, and they can well afford 10 pay
any price for on article Of unusual interest.
Pr badly no single cause is having such an
effect in the education OF both old and
young America as these magazines. They
are penetrating into every household.
Their beautiful engravings serve as inslruc-
tors even TO those unable or too busy to read i.
The most popular authors recognize that
they can obtain more money from the
magazines than by publishing in book form.
In proportion to bound volumes, the maya
zine gives as four 10 one. Take for instance
the Cosmopolitan, which contains annually
1886 pages by the leading writers Of the
world, and more than 1900 illustrations by
clever artists. That would make four vol
nmes of nearly 400 pages each, yet it is
furnished to the subscriber at only $40 a
year. The four bound volumes which it
would make would be worth on the book
stands not less than $1,000. 1t seems inn
possible that so much should be furnished
for little, and it is only when the number
reaches 100000 or upwards that such work
can be turned oul at a profit to the publish
er. Formerly it was considered impossible
to place snch a magazine before the public
for less than $500 per annum, and the Ire-
dictions were numerous, when the price OF
the Cosmopolitan was fixed at $780, that il
wonld be impossible for il TO survive at such
figure. The publisher believed that a
firsl-class magazine at the low price of 50. 40
wonld be quickly appreciated by the public
His expectations have been more than full
filled, and the December issue of the Cos
mopolitan reached the 100 600 mark.
Will il moi pay you to send subscription
to this Office for The MIDLAND JOURNAL
and the Cosmopolitan immediately Re.
lmember, only $3.50 for the two.
