ALL THE HAY BURNED UP.

Thi1tsen Thousand Dollar Fire at ths East
End Stock Yards.
The hay barn connected with the East'End
stock yards was totally destroyed by fire
yesterd entailing lo.s of about ST., 900,
fully covered by insurance. The fire broke
out at 11:50. The bui lding was situated
near the East End Hotel, on Pesn avenue;
was 5Ox200 feet in dimensions and had a
capacity for $500 tons of hay. It had been
filled this summer but perhaps 1000 tons
had already been used
The building itself was not worth more
than 81 900, and the hay was worth from So
to 50 ton. The fire was an ugly one to
handle, as the wind blew directly in the
direction of the sheds An italian board
ing house and the house of Joseph Nesblt,
nearby, had the ends of them damaged to
the extent of about $500
During the course of the fire the members
of HoseC ompany No. 16 were working on
the upper end of the building When the
side of it fell in, George Wright and Will
liam Carmichel were thrown to the ground.
Wright had his wrist broken and was hurt
internally. Csrmichel had his ankle
sprained. Within an hour from the time
the FIRE broke out 1t was under control, but
the mass of burning hay will make 1t neces-
sary for the fremen to remain until to-day.

MAPLE SUGAR MAKERS.

They Must Declare Their Intentions Before
June-The Number of Sugar Trees
Tapped and the Amount Of sugar Made
Last Year.
Every maple sugar manufacturer who
desires to participate in the bounty offered
by the Government on the production OF
maple is compelled to file an application
and bond with the Internal Revenue Col
leator of the district in which he operates
before June 30 to obtain a license for the
following sugar season. He must
state in his application the loca-
ton of his premises, number of trees he
proposes to tap during the season, the pro-
posed quality of the sugar he will manu-
facture, trees tapped last year, sugar pro-
duced, syrup not made into sugar and the
kind of evapora ting apparatus used.
The Government, to encourage this in
dustry, offers bounty to all manufacturers
who produce not less than 500 pounds. 1t
DAYS 2 cents per pound on maple sugar
testing from 900 to 1000 saccharine matter
and ~ cents on that testing 800 to 900
There is no bounty on sugar testing less
than this The sugar is tested bv polari-
scope and saccharometer at the Government
office.
The maple sugar production of the Twen-
ty-third district, which includes the "a
counties in the western part of the State,
only three of which, however, have any
production, during the year ending June
30, 1892, was 225, ,S72 pounds and syrup
2454 gallons. This was manufactured by
172 licensed producers and required the
tapping of 92,535 trees. The estimated
quantity of sugar manufactured by pro-
ducers who did not applv for license was
112, 1856 pounds and syrup 12,57O gallons
To illustrate how the Governments efforts
in fostering this industry are succeeding,
there were 275 producers who made
application for license for the season now
approaching, being an increase of 103 over
the season just ended. The claims for
bounty on sugar produced amount to
S4,094 or, and range from SO 80 to S110.
Ninety-two claims have thus far been paid,
amounting to S2,3S1 16. OF the 172 pro-
ducers who were licensed last season 159
have their plants located in Somerset
county, nine operate in Fayette county and
four produce in Crawford county.

Councilman Piatt returned yesterday from
the Michigan lakes He had been with the
Keystone club at their encampment. The

One of the fish weighed 1876 pounds.
During his stay in camp Mr.. Piatt grew a
full beard. When he left his train at Roches-
ter at noon yesterday the report spread rap
idly that a dangerous Anarchist was in
town, and before he had concluded:his lunch
two officers were guarding him. He had
but little difficulty in proving his identity,
and he was allowed his liberty. Immediate
ly after being released he went to a barber
shop where he left his bright-red beard and

Passenger and Freight Trains Moving

Passenger and Freight Trains Moving
Through Buffalo.
The switchmen of Pittsburg were very
quiet yesterday. They say they have no
intention of striking to aid their fellows at
Buffalo. The truth is that the freight
shipments out of this city are very light at
present and a strike could not help the
switchmen very much. The men said they
we're not responsible for the numerous wild
rumors adoat.
Trains are running through Buffalo all
right. General Passenger Agent Clark, Of
the Lake Erie, was notified yesterday by
the Lake Shore, Erie and New York Cen
tral people that passenger trains were
moving without delay. Superintendent
Beach remarked that he wasn't worrying
about the freight business. After his road
delivered the traffic to the other lines it
was their funeral to see that it reached its
destination.

Snyder. Proprietor.
John Snyder has recently bought out the
whole of j. K. Durr's interest in Durr's
European Hotel, at the corner of Market
street and Fourth avenue, and is now sole
proprietor. Every room has been repapered,
refurnished and thoroughly cleaned. Two
important features have been introduced
which are found to meet with public ap-
proYaL One is dining room set apart tor
the special use of lady guests, and
the other is lunch room on
the ground floor, approachable from the
street through the cigar store, which seems
to have jumped into popularity right way,
for already over 100 meals are served here
every day, and those who have partaken of
the good things provided state that for the
money these meals cannot be surpassed, if
indeed equaled, anywhere else in
the city, with regard to preparation,
service, quality or quantity. This
hotel is situated nearer the heart of the
city than any of its most respectable cotem-
porarieA 1t is within one square of the
principal market, not two squares sway
from the general postoffice, and stands in
Pittsburg's chief commercial street. where
are the Offices of most OF our bankers and
brokers The new proprietor, Johh Sny-
der, is full of that spirit Of enterprise which
secures success for all good bust
ness men, and he richly deserves large
share Of public patronage.
