Cold storage Warehouse Described.

storage warehouse could not have been more
perfectly constructed. The structure was
250 feet long by $50 feet wide, and was con-
structed entirely of wood, covered over with

rapidly passing away. Money is fairly abun-
dant and call loans were renewed at 8 per

the clearing house between banks were in
the proportion of 3711 per cent. cash, and

Progress Made I'm Suspending Pensions.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 17.-There have
been suspended up to date 1850 pensioners,
under Secretary Hoke Smiths recent ruling,
requiring beneticiaries of the act of July 81,

are drawing pensions of $12 per month. No
pensioner has yet been dropped under the
decision for the reason that the sixty days

of disability have not elapsed. Many of
the cases suspended will not result in the
dropping of the pensioners, but may be con-
fined to reduction of the pensions accord
ing to the degree of disability.

Merchants Demanding Gold.

NEW YoxK, July 1s.-It has been revealed
on investigation that the demand for Fay
ment in gold for many specialties in the
drug trade is by no means exceptional.

payments, or have been talking of doing 50.

tangible data for drawing conclusions, while
we must foresee dimly through the obscurs
medium. II we mist pay in gold, therefore

Did Not Paw to Open SUNDAYS.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE worlds fair is to
be closed on Sundays hereafter. The vote
of the local directory resembling its former
action was overwhelmingly in favor of clos
ing, it standing "a to 4. The action of the
directory and the reasons therefor are en-
bodied in the following:
WHEREAS, 1t appears that the number of
laboring men and women whose services
will be necessarily required to keep the ex-
position open on Sundays is disproportion-
ate to the number of visitors on said days,
therefore the interests of the public
are not promoted by keeping the exposition
open on each and every day of the week.

down. Most of the men returned home,

n Was Private Property.

CHICAGO, July 12.-The structure that
burned was by comparison one of the
smallest buildings of the fair. 1t was the
cold storage warehouse and skating rink,
and was not the property of the exposition.
IL was the concession and exhibit of the Her.
cules Iron works, ice and refrigerator ma
chinery manufacturers.
In the building were thirty or forty barrels
of linseed oil, which, no doubt, greatly has
tened the conflagration. That the fire was
not communicated to other of the worlds
fair buildings was due to favorable winds.
