Stanton Trade CROWNS e.

That Staunton is to become frst-class in
terror center of wholesale trade is a fact about
which we have never doubted. Ten years ago
when enterprising firms established wholesale
grocery houses-that branch in trade which
is the fore-runner of the notion and dry goods
business ON the same lines-we were satisfied
that brief time would develop the necessity
and the disposition to follow in the same di-
rection in other important features of whole
sale trade.
In substantiation of the views stated above,
Messrs. Hoge & Hutchinson among the first
to embark in the wholesale grocery trade,
have always been leading in their desires and
efforts to rapidly advance the trade of Stau u
ton in other lines. And now for the facts.
They have associated with themselves, Mr..
James A. Fulton of our section of the
Valley, who has acquired much practical ex-
perience in Baltimore in the notion and dry
goods wholesale trade and the firm of Fulton,
Hoge Hutchinson will open a wholesale
Notion house at 116 Augusta street on the first
of January next.
The fact that the old standard firm of Hoge
& Hutchinson have engaged in this business,
should be appreciated by Staunton business
men, as it will be by all the interior country
in trade relation with this city. Itmeans that
new and leading interest is to be established
on firm ground and that success will crown
the efforts.
All hail to the growing trade of Staunton,
the Queen City of the Valley that is building
up great commerce that will daily add to
her power and Importance.

Pestilence from the Philippines.

A new disease, contagious and fatal,
causes much alarm among the health
authorities at quarantine. The disease
is known in Japan as beriberi. The
bark H. P. Cam arrived off quarantine
on Saturday 40 days out from Hoilo,
Philippine Islands, and reported that
two deaths from the disease had occur
red en- route. When the ship arrived
at Norfolk, Virginia, the first mate
and seven men, who were stricken
with beri beri, were put ashore and
sent to a hospital.
The disease is unknown here. The
authorities are at loss how to handle
it should other ships follow. The bark
is laden with sugar and teas and makes
the third vessel which has reached this
port in the past four weeks on which
death from this disease has been re-
ported. The disease is said to resem-
BILE yellow fever, but is more fatal.
The vessel will be detained at quar-
antine and thoroughly disinfected,
while stringent measures will be adopt
ed to cope with the disease from other
vessels arriving from the fever stricken
port.-N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

A Strike That Was Soon Ended.

Sunday morning one of the walters in the
dining-room was rude to guest, who re-
ported his conduct to Mr. ]. w. Carroll in
charge at the office of the hotel Mr. Carroll
promptly dismissed the offending man,
whereupon several others handed in their
designations unless the order of dismissal was
countermanded. That MI Carroll refused,
and informed the strikers that they could call
Monday and receive their pay.
Wilson Himonds. the head, and other
walters, Stephen Twitty and Simon Ellis of
the force, discountenanced the movement of
the strikes and remained at their posts In
the meantime Mr.. Scheffer, the proprietor
and Mr.. Teabo superintendent, placed other
attendants, and were soon in position and
everything moved ON at the Virginia in the
regular good style of that establishment. The
management was cool and decisive, leaving
the refractory employers to ponder over their
ridiculous attitude.

WilWauke'S Great Fire.

The tremendous fire commencing
October %, which swept over a large
portion of the city of milwaukee, Wis
consin, ranks with the big fires of our
history In the ten hours during
which it prevailed forty-six acres of
business and residence blocks were
swept over, four persons were killed,
over 5000 persons were made homeless
and some $4,000, 100000 worth of prop
erty was destroyed. A high wind,
helped by the dry condition Of every
thing in consequence of the protracted
drought, spread the fire rapidly and
made all effort to stay it in its earlier
stages ineffective. Conservative esti-
mates put the total loss to insurance
companies at from $1,5OO,0OO to $2,OO0,-
600, about 100 companies being affect
ed.
In this connection, other great fires
of similar character have occurred as
follows at Chicago October s, 1871,
when 2, 124 acres were burned over, H.
$50 buildings were destroyed. 98,500
people were made homeless, $50 people
were killed, $196, 100000 worth of prop
erty was destroyed and 56 insurance
companies were forced to suspend pay
ment. In 1872, on November 10 and II,
Boston had a 65-acre fire, which des-
troyed ZIG buildings, killed IA persons
and caused a loss estimated at $73 ,591, :
900. Baltimore had a very considera-
BILE fire in the summer of 1873. which
DESTROYED numerous buildings south OF
Saratoga street and west of Liberty.
Boston had second big fire on Novem-
Der %, 1888, which covered 24acres and
caused losses aggregating $6,OOO,O 600.
Portland, Me-, had a $10,000,00O fire
July 4, 1866.
Another point in relation to the fire
at Chicago may be mentioned, for it is
well enough to note such facts as we
recount the events. Richmond, before
she had recovered from the desolation
of the confiagration that swept over
the fairest portion of that city as its
business interests were viewed in Aprils
1865, contributed ten thousand dollars
in and Of the suffer ing in her sister
city upon the Lakes. Noble magnan-
imous Richmond, if it was the mite in
the treasury box, more the praise OF
that city, because it was contributed
! by those who experienced the horrors
OF desolation, before they had recover
ed from it.

job. The Governors annual report
accordingly certifies that polygamy is
not quite extinct in Utah. He goes be-
yond his duty to recommend tn at Utah
be not admitted as State, because
sympathy of feeling" does not exist
between the Mormon majority and the
Gentle minority. He thinks there
should be harmony of purpose" among
the people under statehood" When
Wyoming, with much smaller popula-
ton and less given to harmony" was
admitted nothing was heard of this
to statehood. Nor was it
heard of when South Carolina was put
under carpet-bag Governors. The real
reason why Utah is kept out of the
Union, along with Arizona and New
Mexico, is that Utah is likely to be
democratic State. Governor Thomas
gives political twist, perhaps, to his
horror of polygamy. More democrats
in the Senate would be inconvenient.
