CHESTER'S BIG BLAZE.
The Chester Manufacturing Co.'s
Plant Totally Destrored by Fire.

A Chester, S. c., special, 26th,
says: This morning at one and half
O'Clock, fire broke out in the Chester
Gingham Mills and in a little while
the whole property was a ruined
mass. The building, together with
$4,000 worth of yarn were complete
ly destroyed. The entire thing was
insured for $151 900, which is about
two thirds its value. The origin of
the fire is unknown. 1t is supposed
to have been accidental. When first
discovered in the boiler room by the
watch man it was quite small but in
stead of the watchman using the pre-
cautions provided for in the mill, IN
case of fire, he attempted to arouse
the operatives near by and before
help could come the fire was beyond
all control, owing to the combustable
nature of the material. The fire de-
partment did excellent work but to
no avail. 1t is great loss to Ches-
ter as it throws $50 operatives and
their dependent families out of EN-
ployment. The town will lose a
revenue of 81 900 week. The ma
jority of the stockholders say it will
rise Phoenix like out of the ashes.

Brigham Young's Soft Snap.

As trustee in trust Brigham
Young gave no bonds. Being in
dedted in 1852 to the church to the
amount of $2OO,0OO he ordered the
clerk to place that sum to his credit
for services rendered.
In 1867 his Indebtedness to the
same benign source rose to the mag
nificent proportions of 1867, 900.
The account was balanced in like in
geBious fashion.
Thus i'll twenty years the poor peo-
pie of Utah paid the prophet at the
rate OF 100000 per annum This
was the nest egg. Land grants, the
the salaries of Governor and IndiaL
agent, railroad contracts, etc., swell
ed the prophets income to a much
larger amount.
So positive were the proofs of Brig
hams speculation that at his death
the church obliged the heirs to dis
gorge million of dollars Thus the
Gardo House became the property of
the church and the official residence
of the president.-Kate Fields Wash

Gus Other Notes From Wash
inCton.

WASHINGToN Jan. % The anti
Pin nkerton resolution Introduced oy
Representative Watson. of Georgia.
was subject of much discussion in
the House Com 'nittea on tie Judici-
airy this morning
The Farmers Alliance Represen n
tative made strong arguments in IA
vor of this resolution and insisted
that it was the duty of Congress to
Investigate thoroughly the abuses
that had grown up under the prac-
tlses of Pinkertonism and take
prompt steps To suppress this quasi
militia organization which had been
fostered by capitalists alone and
which, as paid agent of monopoly,
was a constant menace to the libert '
of the common people.
Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, asked
some pertinent questions of Mr..
Watson, and while dlsclaimiug any
desire TO defend the practice of the
Pinkerton's, expressed some doubts
as to the ability OF Congress TO leg
islate upon this subject, which be
considered matter only to be reg
ulated or suppressed by the various
State legislatures The members of
the committee generally seemed to
share the opinion of Mr. Oates, and
it is likely the resolution of Mr..
Watson will be reported unfavora-
bly,. In that event MIR Watson and
his Farmers Alliance colleagues ex-
press their intention of carrying the
fight to the House AID insisting
upon d thorough investigation of
the methods of PInkerton.
The rules of the House IS they have
so far been adopted provides that the
Interstate and Foreign Affairs Com
mite, of which Mr.. Wise is chair
man, shall consist of seventeen iu-
stead of fifteen. If this stands, as
it is likely to be the case, Mr. Wise's
committee will have the largest
mem bershIp of any in the House
The decree of King Caucus-is to be
invoked to settle the silver question
in the Democratic party. This was
decided upon to-day.

Starving, He Stole Loaf of Bread.

The terrible straits to which peo-
pie are sometime red uced In a great
city were illustrated by case in the
New York police courts the other
day. An old, gray-haired man was
arrested for stealing a loaf of bread
from a bakers wagon He confess
ed the theft and stated that he had
no money. could not obtain any,
and had not eaten for a day. The
sight of the bread was too strong a
temptation for him, and he took one
loaf In sixty-nine years, he de-
clared, he had never been guilty of
dishonest act. He had always
worked hard at his trade, which, Gu
riously enough, was that of baker,
but of late he had been able to do
bat little. For three weeks he had
been out of work. 1t seems almost
incredible, with the various charlta
BILE organizations in New York as in
other cities, that such an incident

Residents of Vermont have had excellent
opportunities to study the trade relations
between Canada and the United States, and
it is significant that no stronger protection
lists can be found in the country than in
this State, which hos comparatively few
manufactures. 1t is natural therefore, that
Nermonters as rule should not favor Ca
madam reciprocity with this country, and it
is with satisfaction that thay have witnessed
the failure of the latest expedition Of Cana.
dian reciprocity commissioners to Washing
ton. In view of the fact that Mr.. Blaine
has given the Canadians no encouragement
whatever, it may seem strange that they
should continue to visit our seat of govern
ment on fruitless errand.
The probable exp anation is that the ext
gencies of Canadian politics compel the
government ut Ottawa to bestir itself and
assume the air and attitude of doing some
thing toward the conclusion Of treaty of
reciprocity with the United States; for the
active pen OF Erastus Wiman and q few
other Missionaries have stirred up a woIdy
discussion of the merits of reciprocal trade
relations with the United States, and both
conservatives aud liberals are zealously
committed to that impossible scheme.
To the citizen of this country the fiery
discussion of reciprocity in tho last Canadian
campaign, when each party We'd with the
other in protestations Of undying devotion
to reciprocity in trade with this nation,
resembled the proverbial tempest in tea
pot. There are comparatively few people
in this country who desire Canadian recipro-
city, without saying nything for or against
the merits of the scheme, and the sooner the
Canadians understood this fact the better il
will be for all concerned.
