A Disastrous Confiaeration-Pennsy
Railroad Trains Delayed.


Special to the Jersey City Ne,os.
ELIZABETH, April 49, ls9l.-A disastrous
fire is raging in the Genre of the city, near
the Pennsylvania Railroad depot. The
fire department here is unable to cope
with it and has sent TO Newark
for assistance. AT one O'Clock four
philadelphia trains, two east-bound and
two west-bound were blocked, and all
travel was stopped until the tfiremen
could lay the hose through troughs be-
meath the tracks which the company pro-
vides for emergencies just like this. The
hose over the tracks was not removed for
ee-fourths OF an hour. After that the
trains ran through the city without fur
ther interruption.
The Arcade, the finest building in the
city, and which alone cost Sl50,000 is now
enveloped in flames.
In the Arcade are located the First
National Bank, Post Office, Third Regi-
ment headquarters, Conservatory of Music
District Court Tubbs aud Harris stores.
Irwin's coal office, the National Fire and
Marine Insurance Company, New York
aud New Jersey Telephone Company and
a score of other Offices. 1t is impossible
to state how much damage will be done
by the fire.

Tho Extreme Old Ago of Some Southor,
California Indians.

Thc Extreme Old Ago of Some Southern
California Indians.
The early inhabitants of Southern
California, according to the statement
of & Il. Bancroft and other reports,
were found to be living in Spartan con-
ditions as to temperance and training,
and In highly moral condition, In con-
sequence of which they had uncommon
physical endurance and contempt for
luxury. This training in abstinence
and hardship, with temperance in dot,
combined with the climate to produce
tho astonishing longevity to be found
here, says Charles Dudley Warner In
Harper's Magazine. Contrary to the
customs of most other tribes Of Indians,
their aged were the care of the com
munity. DR.. w. A. Winder Of San
Diego. is quoted as saying that in o
visit to Ell Cajon valley some thirty
yenrs ago he was taken to q house in
which the aged persons were cared for.
There were half dozen who had
reached an extreme age. Some were
unable to move, their bony frames be-
ing seemingly anchylosed They were
old, wrinkled and blenr-cyed; their
skin was hanging In lcathcry folds
about their withered limbs; some hnd
hair ns white as snow, and had seen
some seven-score of years; others, still
able to crawl. but so aged as
to be unable to stand, went slow
ly about on their hands and
knees, their limbs being atten-
uated and withercd. Tho organs Of
special sense had in many nearly lost
oil activity some generations back.
Some had lost the use of their limbs for
more than decade or q generation; but
the organs of life and the great sym
pathetic" still kept up their automatic
functions, not recognizing the fact, and
surprisingly Indifferent to it, that the
rest of the body had ceased to be of any
use generation or moro in the past.

Wythe county is noted Tor it's blue

Little Kanawha and Virginia railway
has also decided to build the proposed
connecting link between the Black Dia-
mond system and tho Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley via Wytheville, making
Wythevillc competing railway centre.
These lines will bring the Gossan ores
OF Carroll, the mountain ores of Bland
and the limonite ores of Cripple Creek
and New River and tho coal fields of
Wythe, Bland and tho Flat Ton to-
gether at Wythcville, making it the
great iron and trade centre of Southwest

are two hotels costing 100000 each,
