About half past ak O'clock last oven.
Ing flames were discovered coming out
Of a frame stable on tho premises OF tho
old Holiday planning mill, at tho cor.
nor Of Market and Twentieth streets.
Mr.. b. Bach and his son, William, first
saw the flames, and tho latter ran to tho
hook and laddor house, whore m alarm
was turned in. BY this timo tho flames
nearly envcloped the. whole building,
and there was imminent dagger Of tho
whole planning mill property as we'll as
OF the wagon shops Of Lewis & Sons, on
the west Of it, being destroyed, but by
the hardest work the fro department
managed to keep the blaze in the orig.
nal building.
Two valuable horses belonging to
Robert Luke were in the stable, but
they were gotten out unhur,. In the
shod adjoining were anumber of fno
carriages and other vehicles. belonging
to Mr.. Luke, butthoy were not damaged.
All that Mr.. Luke lost was about u ton
Of hay.
Tho stable was entirely destroyed. 1t
is apart OF tho property purchased
from j.. A. Holiday < Son by tho Balti-
more 4 Ohio railroad company, and the
loss was estimated 4. about $1,000, with
no insurance on il.
The origin OF the fire seemed wrapped
in mystery. There was no way in
which the fire could originate in tho
stable without the deliberateac net OF some
body. Mr.. Luke said he know as well
rs no ever know anything that tho
flames were OF incondlary origin, and
he intimated that he suspected the
guilty parties, and thought he knew the
motive. 1t was a coincidence that the
shop Of LOWS & Co. should SO narrowly
escdpe. They were members OF tho
firm OF Donaldson, Lewis K Co. when
that firms factory in tho same ward was
burned by 4 fire believed to be OF in.
cendiary origin, a fow Sundays ago.
A great many people beloved that the
fire was caused simply by mischievous
boys. Nobody saw anybody about tho
place, SO far as could DO learned. But
for the accidental timely discoyerythore
would have been one of the most de-
structive fires Wheeling has seen in
many years.

body has fallen of the bluff back OF the
City Hospital. That used to, be favor.

would wander away up the hill, get too
tired to walk down, and going to the
edge, fall of. Tho city then built a
high board fence across the ends Of the
streets at the bluff, to prevent such ac-
cidents. Since that an occasional man
would resent the interference with his
promenade by tho fence, and would
climb over and fall off anyhow.
This is what u drunken Italian did
last evening. He fell from Jacob street
down the p%recipice to Twentieth. The
police were notified and the patrol
wagon sent over, and the man was re-

PACKING BUTTER FOR WINTER.

Butter to keep we'll must be well
made, that is the buttermilk we'll worked
out and a full ounce of pure salt worked
into each pound of butter. If packed
in tubs see that they are clean, first
scalded with hot water and then washed
with cold. Pack the butter as made and
keep each layer covered with a cloth and
salt until the next one is added. Fill
the tub within one inch of the top, then
sprinkle on a little salt, cover with a
cloth, and tuck in the edges all around
next to the tub. then cover with a half
inch of salt, put on the cover and set
away in a cool, dry cellar. No vege-
tables or fruits should be stored in a
cellar where butter is to be kept, because
they are very likely to exhale odors shat
will be absorbed by the butter, even if
the butter is kept in a close vessel

while warm, nor feed them grain. Both
Of noon and at night the horses should
be watered previous to feeding grain.

dition for the assimilation OF solid food.
If obliged to give a short hour at noon
give a larger ration Of grain, or what is
still better cut the hay into half inch
lengths and add the usual quantity of
ground feed, sprinkled with water, and
thoroughly mix. This can be eaten rap
idly, and will digest more readily than
when fed separately in the dry, dusty
