TWO FIRES IN A DAY.
]. Stevenson & Co.'s Pork Packing
House on Liberty Street
IN FLAMES TWICE IN FOUR HOURS.
Firemen Have q Hard Time Battling With
Hickory Smoke.
WORKING THE FIRE WITH RELAYS

Shortly after o'clock yesterday after
noon fire was discovered in the smoke house
attached to the pork packing establishment
of j. Stevenson & Co., 637 Liberty street.
An alarm was turned in from box II, but by
the time the firemen arrived dense volumes
of smoke were pouring from the windows
and other outlets The smoke was from
hickory wood piled in the smoke
house and is of 50 heavy character that it
is very difficult to Withstand its effects.
The fremen braved this nauseating cloud,
but the men could stay in the building no
LANCER than ten minutes at time, and then
would have to come out and vomit Chief
Steele worked the fire with relays of men,
and in this way crews were kept at work
all the time. The blaze was confne1 70 the
smoke house, and in short time SaS ex-
tinguished. '.'.
The members of the firm were present,
but none of them had any idea as to the
origin of the fire. They stated that the
smoke house was filled with meat, all of
which would be destroyed. The loss was
placed at 81, 900, which was fully covered by
insurance, placed in different companies.
Three alarms were sent in for the fire, prin-
cipally to get the use of the men.
At II 80 yesterday morning there was
fire in the same building and in the very
same spot This blaze was very small
one and was e1tinguished without difficulty.
Chief Steele at that time made thorough
search of the premises and was satisfied
that there was no more fire in the building.
1t is thoug that some embers were over
looked and this caused the second fire.

The movement of hunting and fishing
clubs to the lakes continues from day to
day, and the present hot spell of weather is
driving them out of the city like sheep
making a break for new pasture. The
Lake Erie road will handle the following
clubs:
The Champion Club, to the number of 300
will leave for Leavittsburg over the road
to-day. The advance guard of the Key
stone Club will start for Mullet Lake July
2S, and the club, with 80 members, will fol-
low July 81. B. c. Christy's party, IS peo-
pie, will leave for Ahinc Harbor, Can
ada, August 8. Judge Stowe is a
member, and a number of lawyers
will join the crowd. They expect to spend
the month of August. The Iron City Club,
130 members, will leave shortly in special
train for Lake Talon. This point is 12O
miles from the terminus of the Grand
Trunk road. Frank Kline with a party of
friends left for Mackinac last Satur-
day. Joseph Slapnick and party started
for Autrain on the same day.
The Turner's, 800 strong. started yester-

Superintendent Young, Of Helena, Says q
Good Word for Chairman Carter.
DR.. R G. Young, Superintendent of the
Helena public schools, is in the city. He
had been attending the annual meeting of
teachers at Saratoga, and stopped over here
to visit friends for a few days. He is an
ardent Republican, and is in line to be the
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
in Montana He is personally acquainted
with Chairman Tom Carter and Senators
Sanders and Powers. Speaking of Carter
Prof Young says he is great hustler; in
his opinion one Of the liveliest campaign
managers in the country. He expects to
see Carter handle the reins as well as
Senator Quay.
'T feel sure" he continued, s'that Mon
tana will go Republican this fall The
Peoples party has recently organized in the
State, and it is difficult to say what they
will do, or what coalitions they may form.
Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania, was
very popular in Montana, and if he had
been nominated it is generally conceded
that he would have carried the State"
A year ago Chauncey F. Black and Sena-
tor Faulkner organized number of Demo-
cratic clubs in Montana and throughout the
far Northwest. Black was very enthusiastic
and predicted thst as a result of his work
many of these States would be found in the
Democratic column. So far he has failed to
materialize as a prophet. Montana covers
great area The State is 800 miles long,
and DR.. Young says some of the counties
have 80, 600 square miles of territory. The
doctor emIgrated from Iowa three years ago,
and has become greatly attached to his
country.

INJURIOUS TO LABOR.
Recent Troubles as Viewed From a
Pulpit Standpoint
NOW is THE TINE TO CALL A HALT.
An Allegheny Clergyman Takes Strong
Ground Against Violence.
TOPICS CHOSEN BY CITY PASTORS

Rev. S. W. Davis, pastor of the Walton
Methodist Episcopal Church, Southside,
preached on Confession" yesterday morn
ing He said: 'Tbe eyes of the world are
on Christ Some confess, others deny Him,
and with what result the words of Christ
solemnly declare. Men cannot serve God
secretly. Some imagine they can confess
Christ by church membership aud the ordi-
nance of baptism. These are not sufficient
Some also confess in the life, but the tongue
is silent
''our words are a very important part of
our lite, as is aptly illustrated in the business
and political world. The Scriptures COM
mand, Confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus So important is this that with the
heart man believes unto repentance, but
with the mouth confession is made.
'Some deny Christ through fear of being
put out of the synagogue. Men have often
denied Christ on account of persecution.
We NAV do it in silence when Christ is de-
famed. One would not hear another speak
evil of loved friend and be silent
Would any one speak reproach-
fully of a good and devoted mother,
without resentment? Christ may also be
denied by shirking duty. Be faithful by
being decided, stand firm, Danish fear,
Withstand tests and seek the help of God.
In referring to the labor troubles he said:
81 have heretofore refrained from speaking,
feeling sure nv congregation did not it,
and besides one is likely to be misquoted
and misunderstood. But the events of the
past few days are things which all right
minded people deplore. Lawlessness and
violence and all expressions as well as acts,
in this direction are to be refrained from
and condemned. The condition OF affairs
which made it necessary for Governor Pat
tison to call out the military is sad COM
ment on our Christian civilization. The mob
rule that overturns the lawful and peaceable
methods of a well-planned organization for
the protection of the workingmen, is most
reprehensible; proves injurious to those it Is
designed to benefit, and would be subver-
siye of all civil government. From such an
evil members of all labor organizations, and
all good citizens, may well implore deliver
snce.
''Back of all this, there is something we
would do well, as those who fear God, lay
deeply to heart. 1t is the prevalence of
nngodliness."

A YOUTHFUL BURGLAR.

She Didn't Take Anything Away, but Broke
Into the House to Have . Good Time
Solution of . Mystery That Puzzled the
Police.
The owner of q residence on Highland
avenue left for Europe some time ago, and
closed up his house after removing all arti-
cles of value to safe resting place. An
officer passing the house last Sunday de-
tected signs which pointed plainly to
the fact that the house had
been broken into. He repaired to
the house of a relative of the owner nearby
to inform him of the fact When the officer
was announced to the head of the family he
was entertaining two or three friends in his
room with liquid refreshments, and his first
thought was that his speak-easv was being
raided. After being informed of the pur-
pose of the officers visit, this fear was dis
PEELED, and he and his friends accompanied
the officer to the scene of the supposed
burglary. Upon examination they found
the house turned upside down. Nearly all
the shutters were thrown open and
every drawer and cupboard in the
strewn about the floor. The most surpris-
ing ACdbuSy hV"CfCis HoS shos q oAA1tA
bank which was filled with money, the only
thing of real value about the place, was
standing undistu-bed on one of the MANTLE
pieces in full view. There was an air of
mystery about the place they could not
penetrate. However, they closed the house,
and everything was peaceful again.
A couple of days ago neighbor called
upon the same gentleman early in the
morning to inform him that the house had
again been entered. He obtained the same
officer and again went TO the house finding
it in exactly the same condition as before
with the bank still untouched. They were
very much perplexed and as the two sat
considering the matter, ghostly visions
began to arise before them. They were
interrupted in their reveries by a neighbor
who came in upon them and explained the
matter A little girl five years old, who
lived next door, had been using the house
for playroom. She and her companions
had twice succeeded in prying window
open and once inside, their inquisitive
natures got the best of them; hence all this
disorder. Thus ended what might have
been wonderful ghost story.

AVOIDED THE SUBJECT,

DR.. Reid Says the Peoples Thoughts Should
BE Turned From Labor Troubles.
When DR.. j. W. Reid, of the First q. P.
Church, was asked yesterday afternoon if
he had referred to the attempted assassina-
tlon of Mr.. Frick in his sermon, he replied:
'tNo, and 1 don't intend to. The people
think too much about these labor troubles
during the week. The time has come to
divert their thoughts to better things on the
Sabbath at least"
On the Sunday before the Fourth the
doctor preached a timely sermon in which
he stated that employer and employe
should meet on level honestly and settle
their disputes with reason, not the shot
gun. He advocated rigid restriction of
immigration, and said the country now had
as much of the foreign dangerous element
ss it could handle.

The fight lasted about 20 minutes and
created quite an excitement in the neigh
borhood. The faces of both men were

THE LOVE OF GOD.
Rev. b. C. Applegarth Tells of the Powers of
This Great Being.

Inns Oreat befng.
Rev. b. c. Applegarth, JE, of the Fourth
Avenue Baptist Church, last night directed
his remarks to the Almightiness of God.
f'Over billion and half of people are
scattered over this globe" said he, 'tand God
reigns overaR. The human family as general
thing believe He rules and is provident to
all. The multitudes of all nations delight
to honor Him. No matter how small the
detail is, God is cognizant of our every
action.
when the storms, miseries and bereave-
ments of life overtake us, we look for some
one to quiet and give US rest
That refuge is always found
in God. The powers of this great Sovereign
are unlimited. With that same gentle
touch that He gives rest to the weary, He
turns torrent in its course, God gives
His whole heart to US. He is like mother,
though she has % children she loves them
all with the same love. 1t is to our honor
to be subjects of so great being. The
statesmen, ministers to foreign lands and
men OF note are accorded the privilege of
writing Honorable before their names. To
all of us is accorded the same privilege
through the honor OF loving God"
