MARKET HOUSE NO. 2.

Inc recent decision or the courts
in the matter of fees for the inspec-
ton of butcher shops takes away
considerable revenue from this
city. By the erection of a market
house this revenue would be re-
stored and a considerable addition
made to it, for the rental of market
stalls would be no inconsiderable
sum. Not only so, but the salaries
of two or three inspectors would
be saved, there being no need Of
the number now employed, when
the whole business is concentra ted
in one place and under one super
vision. Not only would there be
economy in this direction, but the
wants Of the people would be in
every way subserved by it. The
regulation of prices would be much
easier effected under such cOndi-
ton of things as would bring
all that is to be offered into one
place for the inspection of
buyers, and both the market
gardeners and the public would be
better satisfied. Hucksters would
be prevented from offering their
produce on the street until after a
certain hour in the day, thus in
surfing the first offering of fruits,
meats and vegetables in the mar
ket stalls. This would assure the
citizens of full market house
from which to make their selec-
tions, and at the same time the
rivalry between the several stall
keepers would insure the best
possible display and the most
tempting disposition of whatever
is offered for sale. Quality and
variety would thus be guaranteed
by natural conditions and out of
these would arise a better market
from season to season, as only
those who most successfully met
the requirements eff the public
taste would secure custom, or at
least the best custom. AS to the
cost of building such GEN.
trail market, it would not be
burdensome and in the end would
be large source of revenue, over
and above the interest on the cost
of construction. 1t would not be
necessary for the city to appropri-
ate more than one-half of the nee
essary funds, as the rest could be
readily raised by private subscrip-
ton. This is not matter of specu-
lation, as some of the most sub
stantial of our people have assured
the LIGHT that they would con-
tribute literally for such a pur-
pose, believing it for the advantage
of the city, every way considered,
to have such a market established
in some central location. What
ever is for the benefit of the city as
a municipality is also beneficial to
the citizens, and it is solely be-
cause this market house would be
a public benefit that the LIGHT
calls attention to the matter and
suggests that the project be taken
under advisement.

TEMPLE RETIRES.

The Pitfsburg Club Changes Hands, but
Buckenberger Remains President.
A deal Of considerable interest to base ball
patrons was completed in Pittsburg yesterday
whereby Messrs- p. l.. Auten Of Chicago. W.
W. Kerr and A. G. Buckenberger obtained con-
troll Of the Pittsburg Base Ball Club. They Sc
cured the entire stock of ". c. Temple by
purchase and that gentleman now retires from
the club. Mr.. Temple owned 400 shares Of
stock and enough others to give him a controll-
ing interest in the organization. The new pur-
chasers take this stock in about equal shares,
and this leaves Mr.. Auten the largest individual
holder
Mr.. Buckenberger will be continued as presi-
dent and the team will be conducted on BUSH
ness lines. Under Mr.. Temples control the
club enjoyed its greatest prosperity and Pitts
burg had the best ball team that ever repre-
sented the city.
President Buckenberger has notified sixteen
players to report for duty at the St Charles
Hotel, Charleston. s. c.. on March IA. when the
seasons practice will begin. The list includes
Pitchers Gastright, Terry, Ehret, Abbey and
knell. Mark Baldwin was not notified. He
has not given the club officials to understand
that he intends to play in 1898. If he plays at
all next summer it will be with Pittsburg, as he
is still on the list

THE COAL SITUATION.
Trouble Feared When Freight Shipments
Stop Before the Inauguration.

Trouble Feared When Freight Shipments
Stop Before the Inauguration.
Perhaps there is not a coal famine, but there
is a marked scarcity of that article. 1t is prob
able that very little more Of the current freeze
would make this scarcity popularity felt. During
a normal state of trade Washington receives via
rail about seventy carloads of coal per day. Dur
ing the past month she has been receiving about
twenty-five. good deal of coal intended for
Washington it is said has been stopped at Phia-
delphia. Between thirty and forty of the small
dealers have been buying their'supply from the
big coal men of the District since the early part
of January They have, it is said been pa wing
full retail prices in order to retain their trade.
Several of the large dealers along the river
front now refuse to sell to other dealers. The
stock is low in the river-front yards of George
L. Sheriff, Stephenson & Bro, John L. Givens,
johnson Brothers and the American Ice
and Coal Company. The supply of furnace
and Cumberland Goals is at a very low ebb
Trouble in the coal trade is feared in March
The encampment they say paralyzed trade for
two months. About the 25th Of Febru-
airy tine railroads will issue notice that they will
deliver no freight till about the 10th of March.
This means, the dealers say, that they
will deliver no freight till about the first Of
April. The citys winter supply of coal which,
with usual season, would have lasted till the
first Of May will. in consequence of the rigorous
winter, run short about the first of March.
Here the trouble is expected to come in As
soon as navigation is open extra exertions will
be made to get in heavy consignments
of st. Georges creek, Consolidation and Read
ing coal. The American Ice and Coal Com
pany have about one hundred carloads which
ought soon to be delivered, and Lohn 7. Given
has several hundred tons of Reading aboard
barges now lying at Chesapeake City.

SACRIFICED 1000 LIVES.

Burning Of . Chinese rhesser ana remp,>
to Enable Thieves to Rob the Altar.
The Celestial Empire, an English nev.paper
OF Shanghai. which arrived at San Francisco
yesterday by the Canadian Pacific steamers and
the Oregon railroad in advance Of the Pacific
mail advicee, contains some interesting details
Of the disastrous temple ERE near Canton,
China, which resulted in the death of over /. 600
people.
These additional facts show that the briesnds
who started the fire did not do il in the heat of
anger over an unsuccessful raid, but waited un-
til the following night On the night before
the fire the brieands attempted TO rob . thea
ter in which was being held an exhibition 10 the
Tin Hau goddess. The gold and silver orua-
ments excited their cupidity. but soldiers on
guard beat them of. woundng several and
capturing one. The next night, while the tenn
porary theater Was crowded, FIRE was seen on
the roof The house was made of mating and
bamboo and in q moment was q mass Of roaring
flames Many we're badly burned by falling
bamboos and those not seriously injured rushed
to the street.
There they encountered so solid a mass OF
excited people that they could not get through.
In their alarm they rushed into the neighbor-
ing temple. This caught fire and the scene then
was awful The door did not afford sufficient
egress for the mass Of people and large num-
bers were roasted alive.
Altogether 1000 lives were lost, including
those burned in the theater The neighbor-
hood was literally strewn with bodies. The
charitable societies of Canton and other cities
sent 600 collins to give decent burial TO the
unfortunates. The village suffered heavily, as
nearly 500 houses were burned. The robbers
evidently escaped, as no mention is made Of
them
