Big BLAZE
And Our Creamery is a
Thing Of the Past.
That Historic Old Hanny Brewery
Building Goes up in Flames-The
Whole City Illuminated.

At about l:30 o'clock last night.
Tuesday, August 1ith, our people were
aroused from their slumbers by the
ringing of the fire bells. When the
people got out on tide streets the whole
city was illuminated by the big blaze
and they had no trouble in locating
the fire. 1t was the creamery on fire.
The creamery was the old historic
Hanny brewery building located on
Merriwether street Just west and ad-
joining the public school grounds.
The building was large structure.
The walls were brick and stone but
being built for a brewery il was made
up of large amount of wood work,
and when the fire was discovered the
flames were shooting out high above
the roof. and there was no chance of
saving the building or even checking
the fire. Willing hands were there to
fight the fire but nothing could be done
but stand by and see the property re-
duced to ashes. Everything in the big
building except Mr.. Hanny shorse and
buggy was destroyed. How the fire
originated will probably never be
known. but it is supposed that it
caught from the fire in the engine. as
they had been using the engine during
the day running the creamery machin-
cry. We have been unable to learn
what Mr.. Hanny's probable loss is.
but We learn that he had the building
and machinery insured for four thous-
and dollars. We do not known that
this is true but we hope it is.
The old brewery building stood
quite distance from any other build
ing and this prevented the fire from
spreading. Had such fire occurred
down town there is no telling when and
where it would have ended.

Where Rain Is Unknown.

There is. perhaps. no more curious
place on the Pacific seaboard than
Iauiaue. 1t stands in region where
rain has never been known to fall, and
where. as was remarked by Darwin,
when We visited Iquique in 1885, the
inhabitants live like people on board
ship. These number about 14,OOO,
nearly all connected with the staple
industry of the port, due to the de-
velopment of the nitrate industry on
adjacent pampas. The rain guages at
Lima. close to the Pacific, record alb
solutely no rainfall. There are sev-
eral parts of the earth where rain
never falls. Such are the Sahara. or
great desert of Africa. and consider
able tracts of Arabia. Syria, Persia,
Thibet land Mongolia in theOld World.
while in South America the rainless
districts comprise narrow strips on
the shores of Peru. Bolivia dnd Chill.
and on the coast of Mexico and
Guatemala. with small district be-
tween Trinidad and Panama on the
coast of Venezuela.-Brooklyn Eagle.

REV. Y.FATHER PHELAN.
He Jumps on the Bishops
of His Church with
Both Feet.
The Catholic Papers of the Whole
Country Have Been Nose Bags
for the Bishops to SneeZe

Father Phelan of the Western
Watchman" has broken out again.
and this time he goes at the Bishops
of his church with his heels in position
to do some hard kicking. Hear him:
I'VE have no objection to the Coun-
Gil of Baltimore or the judgment of
Leo KILL. and mean to observe both
one or the other. But We would re-
mind our confreres that all these Bish-
ops are at all times willing to receive
unlimited tributes of praise. Flattery
can be poured out on them with a Law
ish nand. without awakening any very
serious or resentful objection.
The Catholic papers OF the whole
country have been nose rags for the
Bishops TO sneeZe into. or spit into.
Nineteen-twentieths of what has ap-
peared as ecclesiastical news in our
American Catholic press in years back
has had reference to the doings and
sayings of Bishops. We must now let
these good men severely alone, and
get something else to write about. 1t
may be that their heel is unguarded,
and they may be brought to respectful
demeanor by this unexpected thrust.
It is no harm to try it.
1--WE shall see that no Catholic pa
per in the United States hereafter crit
else Bishop, whether in praise or in
blame. For one is the corollary to the
other. II these Bishops want only
praise. let them start organs of their
own and pay for their own milk and
cruel.
1--WE wish to include in this prescrip-
ton only those Bishops who have
proven themselves enemies of the
Catholic newspaper. There are noble
Bishops in the church. who, like their
august head in Rome. take adverse
criticism without falling back on the
privilege of Office. All those who are
manly and give and take like men.
let us treat with all the generosity
becoming brave men in conflict with
the brave. Women and those who
fight behind privilege should not be
ranked longer among literary combat
ants

Low Prices for California Fruits.


NEW YORK. August 1.-THE largest
shipments of California fresh fruits
ever received in this market were those
which arrived during the thirty-six
hours between Saturday night and
yesterday morning. when forty ear
loads We're received. against only
sixty car loads during the entire week
ending on the corresponding Saturday
of last year. These forty car loads
contained 1900 packages. and aver
aged about 1000 pounds, or 4SO tons.
The fruit consisted of bartlett pears,
peaches. plums. prunes and grapes,
and its aggregate wholesale value in
round number was 100000.
Fully 400 buyers of all classes, as
sembled on the Erie Railroad piers at
daylight yesterday to compete for the
fruit, which was sold at public auction
by Brown & Seccomb, the forty car
loads being brought in the cars on
floats from the Erie terminus across
the river. The sale occupied FIVE
hours, and the duties of the auctioneers
were SO hurried and arduous that it
was necessary tOemploy several criers,
who relieved each other every hour.
The prices realized were exceeding
ly low, being little more than the cost
of transportation. Prices are expected
to be still lower on account of the i'm
nense quantities of California fruits
which will arrive during the present
week.
