Chapline street, burnt out lp a. few
minutes, and u hundred and fifty dollars
worth Of fireworks were shot OF in a
jify. At twelve o'clock Roth promptly
opened his store and began
selling fireworks, which were
in great demand. It was
great sport to buy FIRE crackers, light q
piece OF paper in the store and then run
out and sci fire to the crackers. Roth
was across the street talking TO some
one, when he saw a rocket go oil in the
store. and in an instant the whole thing
was ablnze. Roth ran across the street,
plunged through the store and up
stairs, He brought down two, OF his
children the first trip and took them out
tho back way; then he got two more
and his wife the fifth. In the mean
time rockets aud roman candles were
bursting through the store windows,
and the sound OF the exploding giant
crackers was terrific.
The alarm was turned in from boy
SO, and the Niagara engine responded
frat. Before the water was turned On
the chemical engine appeared, and did
good work. The street was crowded
with people, women in wrappers pre-

Roth estimated his stock as worth
about $500, insured for $500 in the Fire
and Marine Insurance Company. The
fire did not communicate to the upper
story, and tho family was able to stay
there during the rest OF the night. The
danger OF scarrying fire around among
explosives should seem apparent to
everybody, but it will probably take a
few more fires to teach people 4 lesson.
Three such have already occurred in
the last thirty days.

WASHINGTON, D. O., July S.-Mr.
BANDS return to Washington to take
charge of the fight for the silver bill
in the house may not bring results as
gratifying to himself as he anticipates.
The free silver Democrats arc not at all
impressed with Mr.. BANDS ability as
leader and movement was on foot to-
day to take the generaiship Of the BGht
out Of his hands and place it in charge
of Representative Pierce, of Tennessee,
Mr. Bland has none Of the qualities OF
a leader on tho floor of the house. He
is intolerant of all opposition and has
come to regard himself SO completely
as the only and original author of free
silver legislation among the Democrats
that he regards with impatience the
suggestions OF other and younger men
who have come into the house since his
time. :,
His conduct during the last free silver
fight, together with his very passionate
and indiscreet utterances regarding
Speaker Crisp after the Bland bill was
defeated, have made him Objectionable
to the speaker and his friends, aud the
free silver men, therefore, believe that
since it is not now the Bland bill that
ia to come up before the house it will
be the wiser policy to keep Mr., Bland
himself as much in the background as
possible.
The new leader Of the silver move
ment will be Mr.. Pierce, OF Tennessee, a
congressman comparatively young in
experience, but true, quick and ener-
retic, we'll skilled in parliamentary TAG
tics and OF sufficient popularity among
nil his colleagues to become their recog-
nized leader. His resolution Of Satur-
day to amend the house rules so that
the rules Gun be suspended and a bill
passed by majority instead OF Q two
thirds vote shows that he proposes to
play bold game and stake the whole
issue on one throw. Hispromiso to the
river and harbor men, and to every
other class OF congressman who have
some pet measure which is now hanging
fire, that if they will assist him in the
passage. their bill, or conference re-
ports, as the case may be, shall be whip
ped through on the same day as the sill
YER bill, shows that Mr., Pierce is an
adept in the parliamentary science OF
log rolling"
Il was reported to-day that the Re;
publican members Of the house would
offer no opposition to the bill, a9 they
we're desirous OF having their Dem ocrat.
ic associates put themselves fairly and
squarely on record as favoring free sill
yer, but the report is denied by Gener-
al Tracy and other leading anti-stlver
leaders.
It is true that q few Of the RepublI-
cans wish to see the Democrats placed
in an embarrassing position before the
country, but ex-Speaker Reed insists
that the principle Of opposition.to free
silver is very much moro important
than temporary advantage which may
be secured by placing the opposition in
the hole. Mr.. Reeds influences are
likely to prevail, as they are in line
with the well-known desires OF Presi-
dent Harrison; so that the silver men
will not be able to count upon the as
sistance OF the Republican minority

wherein each delegate must write on

A NOVEL APPLICATION


or Familiar Text-The Pooplo the
At the Fourth Street Methodist
Church yesterday morning, Rev. DIR.
Riker preached a sermon from the
text: "Render unto Caesar the things
that are Caesar's"- Matthew %, 81. He
took the ground that this Christian
nation ought to soc to 1t, that its ruler
was possessed OF the training required
for the discharge of his functions, in
presiding over this Christian nation.
But he recognized that in this coun-
try it is not the President who is Cesar,
but the voter. The voter really occu-
pies tho throne, while the President Is
his spokesman. The whole community,
in the home, in the school and every
where, ought to secure to the voter
those conditions, which go to make
him an intelligent sovereign. In the
interest OF such service, Dr.. Riker sug.
gested, the Fourth Of July might be
used. He thought that the young
men were not duly impressed with the
responsibilities they incur when reach
ing their majority-that moment when
they emerge from babyhood to man
hood, iron subalternship to kingship;
from having no voice in the manage
ment to having, by their vote, as much
to say Ms the man Of age and experience.
The doctor referred to the heimportance
which tho ancient Greeks and Romans
attributed to tho dawning OF tho toga
virilis, when youths emerged into man.
hood. 1t was day OF feasting and
congratulation for the family and
friends. Something OF this sort, only
on larger scale, should accompany tho
net of becoming voter in this country.
He proposed that on the Fourth OF July
all those who have or will become SOW
ereign American voters during that
year, be assembled at appropriate
places, that there speeches be made
by men Of mark, calling to mind the
past and predicting the future glories OF
this country; impressing on the mind
Of the young men the Importance to
them OF the day on which they reach
mans estate, and inculcating In them
the proper patriotic spirit which, re-
gardiess OF party politics, should actuate
them in their political actions.
