Three Fires in Four Days in a
Tenement House.

ing.

About Q o'clock this morning the ten

which poured up. from the cellar and
thick that 1t was impossible to get into
the cellar. and the housekeepcr sent
out AN alarm from the box at the cor
ner Of Stanton and Chrystie streets,

READINGS LOAN EXTENDED.
Speyer Syndicate Grant Renewal
on $500, 900 Additional Collateral.

At a meeting OF the Speyer syndicate
to-day II was decided to extend the loan
to the Reading three months. with the
privilege Of renewing 1t for three months
more. The receivers put up $500, 900 add
tional collateral trust bonds as security,
and II the loan is renewed another three
months will put up more collateral.
Talk Is revived that Reading receivers
are anxious to issue a reorganization
plan. under which the general mortgage
fours fund coupons for a term of years,
perhaps four years. This is vigorously
objected to by the general mortgage
bondho,ders, who claim that stockhold-
ers and income holders should be the
ones to suffer.
Income bondholders claim that fund
ing general mortgage coupons Is a vio-
latiol ~ the terms OF their mortgage,
which provides that no lien shall he
placed ahead OF theirs. Funding the
coupons for four years wou.A give money
enough to pay of the floating debt, but
such a plan will be vigorously opposed.

Bail Game.

II was lao o'clock yesterday afternoon
when umpire haEcack called play at

bat. opening the series of games between
the colored nine from Fort Custer and
the local teams.
The Clusters have changed consider
ably in personnel since they appeared ID
this section last season and played
much better ball. having a first class
battery. Murray pitches d very swift
bali. and has heavy curves. while WI
lians works all over the ground behind
the bat. and gets many balls which are
very hard to reach. His general sup
port was also good. although T. errors
were made during the game. 3 each
beng credited to short stop and first
base. while the center field dropped two
flies.
The weak spot Of the Clusters was
with the stick. they being unable to do
anything with Young, no less than Is
strike.out being credited up to Young.
| What hitting the colored boys did do.
however. was phenomenal or scratch
work. 3 of the ) base hits made being
home runs. which as the score shows
we're strung out through the game at
long intervals.
Murray did not give a man his base
on balls. and Williams only had three
passed balls.
Keogh played a brilliant game. only
three errors being made during the en-,
tire game. one each by Mack. Cunning
ham and Sanders. The batting was
about as usual. and II base hits being
made off Murray. Young pitched the
best game for a long time and Is OF the
Clusters fell victims to his strong arm
while but two men were given bases on
balls. Dawson held down the plate il
excellent style. only having two passed
balls. The general support to the bat
terry was first class throughout.

There are p~ecu!iarities about ali
branches of trade. but n of the
most striking peculiarities is connect
ed with the jewelry business. Those
who are connected with the latteI
branch of commerce hail Monday
morning with JOY and gladness. for
the business of that day is almost
sure to be large and profitable, no
matter what the season of the year.
For a great many years retail jew
elers were at a loss to assign a reason
for this. Finally the question was
sprung at a convention of jewelers.,
and as a result a queer fact was made
known. It seems that a large per
centage of the marriage engagements
are made Sunday night, and the hap
py young man ran hardly wait until
the jewelry stores open Monday
morning. SO anxious is he to pur
chase the golden circlet of love.
And then again. married persons
generally talk owe domestic affairs
on Sunday evening. and papa is usu
ally beguiled into handing over Z
check ample enough to buy the sci
Of silver spoons or the silver sugar
bowl and cream pitcher that mamms
has set her heart upon.
And then again. persons who 60 Il

that strikes their fancy, and OF Mon
day they 60 and buy it.-Philadel
