Salem Fire. Was .subdued.

SALEM, Mass, December 81. = This
evening the entire frame block on the
corner of Mill and Canal streets, owned
by Devlin Brothers, burned. The build
ing was three stories high, and occupied d
on the first floor by Devlin Brothers as a
paste shop, and the Naumkeag Plating
Company. The second floor was occu-
pied by FL. d. Lefavour, shoe manufac-
turer: Fill & Daley, shoe manufacturers

ment in Lefavour's blew the front of th
building out, but it rested against the
wires and was saved from falling into
the street. The losses are insured.

Travellers on the Pullman from Bos

Salem fire. The train was held there
about three hours, the track being cover

Portland at ii, the train did not get
through until ten minutes before 2
o'clock this morning.

CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS.
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Friday, May l3-p. m.
While Northern Pacific preferred again the
most active stock. Union Pacific was the real
centre of speculative interest to-day. That IT
should fall per cent was not surprising but the
reason for its sudden increase in activity was not
readily eXplanable The same decline conld have
been accomplished with the expenditure Of n much
smaller force. The new president Of the company
was not able to attend the meeting Of the Advisory
Board. but after the adjournment he promptly ap-
peared. In these circumstances il may be doubted
whether the activity and weakness OF the stock
were entirely natural 1t has been stated officially
that the European holdings were the largest in
the history of the company. 1t can hardly he pos
sible that the administration is trying to dis
lodge innocent investments when il is remembered
that the recent election of the company was carried
by proxy on stock held abroad. Ingratitudc is
one of the prerogatives Of royalty.
The continued weakness Of Northern Pacific pre-
ferred was not remarkable. The extreme fuctua-
tions in it were little over per cent, and
it's final loss was fractional. The passing
of the dividend might not cause further
decline in the price unless the short interest has
been unduly magnified. In the cases Of both the
Union Pacific and Northern Pacific stocks the
course of prices was not controlled by the ex-
aggerated reports of damage to the growing crops.
The agricultural season is late brA il is hardly
probable that the whole West is vered by ice
and in q month present prophecies about crops
may be confounded 1t is "A reason for congratula-
ton that the crop news emanates from the same
point in the West where Federal Grand Jury
yesterday concluded that it had nothing 10 do
with the Reading deal, and Immediately proceeded
TO the equally idle task Of investigating the re-
cent cutting Of freight rates by Eastern railway
lines. II recent reports from Chicago have been
correct, it would seem 10 he eminently proper
that its Federal Grand Jury should adjourn with
out date.
To prove that the decline in stocks was caused
by selling for European account n small lot Of
gold taken for export. 1t would he interest
ing to know if the loss on the shipment
covered by short s1ies of stocks. There could
have been no other, advantage. Partly In con-
sequence Of this engagement and still more Of
the vigorous attacks which made in behalf
of the short interest, the closing was apparently
weak at about the lowest points few stocks

THE SHAKING MiNARETS.
Ispahan Boasts One of the Greatest
Architectural CuriOsities.

Ispahan Boasts One of the Greatest OF
Architectural Curiosities.
Among the most singular architec-
tural curiosities in the world must be
counted the Shaking Minarets, about
five miles from sacred Ispahan." After
passing through perfect sea of gar
dens and irrigating canals, the traveller
reaches an old, and by no means i'm
posing looking, mosque. From the
front corners of this rise two columns
OF masonry about seventy feet in height
from the ground; the first half of the
height, or little less, being one with
the walls of the mosque. After reach
ing the roof of the mosque the two min
arets raise their tapering heads some
thirty-five or more feet as isolated
spires, and distant from each other
about twenty five feet. A narrow,
spiral staircase winds up inside of each
column to the top. So far there has
been nothing remarka BILE, but, arrived
at the top of either one of the columns,
by dancing or jumping upon the floor.
the minarets can be made to shake as
though trembling from earthquake
shocks What is still more surprising
is thus told by Mr.. Ballantine in his
book-'sMidnight Marches through Per-
sia"
''We got couple of Persians to as
cend one of the minarets, while we
were on the top of the other. Here we
sat down, perfectly still. and notified
the Persians opposite to shake the col
umn they were on, They did so, throw
ing it nearly couple of feet, should
say, out of the true vertical on each
side as they moved. This shaking, by
some mysterious connection through
the solid masonry of the mosque, COM
municated itself to the column we were
on, and it in turn began shaking vio-
lently as to oblige us to descend to seek
relief Whether this 'sympathetic
motion" of two solid and separated col
umns of masonry be due to accident or
design is not now known neither is the
manner in which the motion is commu-
nicated. The superstitious Persians
attribute the phenomenon to the spirit
of the mosques patron saint, whose
body was inferred below.-American

LIEUT.. ScHwATKA DEAD.

The Famous Arctic Explorer Found On.
conscious ON the Street In Portland with
Bottle of Laudanum Beside Him. an
Overdose OF Which He Had Swallowed
Death Soon Claimed Him.
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. s.-About 8
o'clock yesterday morning Lieut.. Fred
erick Schwatka, the famous Arctic ex-
plorer. was picked up on First street in
an unconscious condition. Beside him
lay a bottle of laudanum. A patrol
wagon was called and he was removed
to the police station where he soon
died 1t was undoubtedly a case of sui
eide.
Schwatka was born at Galena, ILL.,,
September %, 1s49, and graduated from
West Point military academy when %
years of age. He served against the
Indians in Arizona for awhile: studied
law and was admitted to practice in
Nebraska in 1873 and graduated from a
medical college in New York a year
later.
Lieut.. Schwatka had been suffering
from a complication of troubles and
had shown symptoms of apoplexy on
numerous occasions. His stomach had
given him much trouble. and for the
pcSC VI IcllcI llc Itu uStt
quantities of laudanum. usually from
ten to twenty drops. Tuesday evening
his stomach trouble came on with
such severity that he complained
bitterly. He went into drug
store and asked for two ounces of
laudnaum. The clerk did not recog-
nize the lieutenant, and asked him if
he had prescription. He replied he
had not. but as he was graduate at
Bellevue college he could soon write
one. The clerk replied that that was
not necessary. but gave Lieut.. Schwatka
the drug and registered the transac-
ton. He talked about his ailment but
otherwise appeared in excellent spirits.
The city physician says:
81 will hold post mortem examina-
tion to discover the exact cause of
death. 1t is possible that Schwatka
took an overdose of the drug by mis-
take, but I am inclined to believe that
he had an apoplectic stroke. When
was sent for / found the lieutenant un.
conscious. The pupils OF his eyes indi-
Gated that he had taken a narcotic.

been called as soon as Lieut.. SchwatlSa
was discovered his life might have been

THE MISSING BOAT GILcHER.
The Opinion Growing That She Went
Down OFF the Manitou Islands with Al
Board.

The Opinion Growing That She Went
Down OF the Manitou Islands with All
on Board.
CHICAGO. Nov. 2.-Telegrams are fly.
ing thick around the lake making in
quiries in regard to the missing boat
Gilcher, but nothing can be learned OF
her. Capt w. NJ. Egan telegraphed his
Milwaukee agent to learn if she had
arrived there this morning. The reply
was that she had not. and that nothing
had been seen of her. The general
opinion among the underwriters who
have risks on the Gilcher was that she
had been lost. Capt. c. w Elphicke
was the only one who did not share in
this opinion. He bases his belief on the
idea that it would have been impossi-
BILE for the GiIcher 20 have foundered.
A clew to the time when the Gilcher
foundered is contained in piece of a
hand rail of the pilot house and piece
of partition of the cabin, which Capt.
jerks of the steamer White and Friant
picked up in the vicinity Of the wreck.
On the piece from the ca abin is written:
flames Riley Tor Riderl 0 p. m" 1t is
impossible to make out whether the
name is Riley or Rider. Nine O'Clock
Friday night was about the time the
Gilcher would have been off the Mani.
tous, and the inscription on the wreck.
age was probably made by some mem.
Der of the crew before she went down.

ANOTHER WRECK.

Three Passengers Killed and Fifty In
yured by the Wreck OF Train on the
Mersey RaiIrOad-Bad Luck Seemed to
Follow the Passengers.
LONDON, Nov. 3.-Another railway
accident is reported, this time from
Liverpool. Tuesday night a train on
the Mersey railway, loaded with pas
sengers, many of whom had been on
the Birkenhead ferry-boat, when it
collided with the ship Euridice, was
leaving the ferry station, when it ran
into an engine and was badly damaged.
Three passengers were killed and
about fifty injured and some of the
injured will probably die. When pas
sage on another train was offered to
the passengers who were unhurt, many
of them, having been in the ferry boat
collision and the railway collision on
the same night, thought it would be
unluclky to continue their journey just
then, and refused to do so.
