FIRE AT TARPoN SPRINGS.
Eight Business Houses Burned at a
Loss of $4,000.

Tarpon Springs, Fla, April 1O.-This
morning about $3.50 o'clock the town was
startled by the cry of fire. The business
portion of the town was all in flames and
sparks, and charred shingles as big as a
mans hand were falling everywhere.
The Trinity Methodist Episcopal church
was already in great danger from the
falling embers.
Tarpon avenue was a sight to be remem-
bered. From the railing west to the
Beekman brick block it was a sea of fire.
w. 5. Dickinson's taxidermist and Gu
riosity store soon fell in, and the stores
occupied by Gregory & Knowles and Will
lam Gilmore, the barber, were consumed.
0. Cadwallader's grocery and bakery
was also destroyed, and the brick block
was in imminent danger, while across the
street Capt. G. d. Webster's drug store
was smoking, and it looked for some time
as II 1t too must succumb to the flames,
but heroic work by men with buckets and
hand-pumps soon put 1t out of danger
In the meantime the brick block had
caught within, and F'ernald's stores and
cottage were frequently ignited by falling
burning debris.
AS 1uSr6 Was no pTOIeCLlOD from IRE IN
the way Of public water works or engines
and no fire company. at this stage it was
a hard matter to get the help
that was needed. Shouts went up
TO form a line and bucket brigade,
and men, women and children fell
in and worked nobly, but it was of no
avail, the front of the brick block soon
caved in and a tornado of fire few across
the street, and the gable of the main
Fernald cottage ignited. Then there was
no hope Of saving. J. NJ Vinsen & Bros,

For some time previous to this, atten-
tion had been turned to the jewelry
store and residence of R. G. Fowler.
Carpets, blankets and rugs were strewn
over the roof of the jewelry
store and water was forced
upon them with small hand pumps. The
gable end of the residence was also kept
wet by the use of the hand pump, and
after nearly an hours hard fight the
building was saved, and the conhagration
was at an end.
But what sight. 1t was awful to be-
hold. Eight Of the best buildings in town
had gone up in smoke, and only one firm
of the lot had any insurance on their

RIGHT or ApPo1NrMENr.
Richmond's Postmaster Fighting the
Civil Service Law.

Washington, April l0.--The represen-
tative of the civil service commission,
who was sent TO Richmond, Va, to iuves-
tigate numerous alleged violations Of the
law in regard to appointments to ac-
cepted places in the postotfioe there,
has returned to Washington and made a
report of his investigation, which will
shortly be considered by the members Of
the commission and acted upon. There
is a question involved in the con-
struction of the law, which, If decided
in favor of Postmaster Cullingsworth,
will act as precedent in the method Of
the appointment of persons, and also the
right of all postmasters to designate
clerks to places of trust, or as the eusto-
dians Of public moneys, which places are
held to be confidential to the postmaster,
and exempt from the operation of the
civil service law.
Postmaster Cullingsworth recently re-
quested that several places in the Rich
mOnd postoffice, which were covered into
the classified service during the incum-
bency Of his predecessor, be exempted
from the civil service law on the ground
that they were positions of trust. Mr.
Cullingsworth holds that he has the right
TO appoint persons, without examine
tion, whose duty incidentally 1t may be
TO sell stamps, as well as open letters or
do other clerical work.
DENIED BY THE COMMISSION.
This is denied by the civil service COM
mission, and is held 70 be an evasion of
the letter and spirit of the civil service
law, which would effectually nullify Its
execution. Whether or not the commits
sion will approve the recommendation of
its representative is not known, nor will
the report be made public until it has
been submitted TO the commission, but
q report will be made to the Postmaster
General, who is the sole Judge
as to the right of Mr. Cullingsworth or
other postmasters TO appoint persons.
tions, and then designate them Incl
dentally to sell stamps or perform other
duties which are regarded as confidential
TO the postmaster, aud for which,
under his bond, he is personally
held responsible. The commission
holds that the postmaster is
entitled under the rules, TO
| the appointment of a limited number
Of accepted places or positions of trust,
and that II the Postmaster General de-
cides that he (the posbmaster) is the
Judge, and shall designate appointees,
without examination. to perform duties
of trust. such as selling stamps, he can
I'LL the Office with employees without re-
gard TO the civil service by designating
them with their other duties as custo-
dians OF public money, and thus defeat

WHEAT AND THE FREEZE.
The Monthly Report of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

The Monthly Report of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
Washington, April 10,-The condition
Of winter wheat on April ] as reported
by the statistician of the department of
agriculture, averages s67 per cent. for
the entire country. Last year the aver
age was IA, in 1899 it was sI.2, and 96. 9 for
the year 1891 The corresponding average
for rye is 944 per cent. The averages of
wheat for tho principal states are as
follows: Kentucky, s3; Ohio, 90 Michi-
gan, SO; Indiana, 80; Illinois, ST. Mis-
souri,, SO; Kansas, 70; Nebraska, So: Cali
fornia, 81.
The average date Of seeding In the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys was late. owing TO
dry weather. In general, however, the
conditions of soil were not unfavorable to
planting and termination.
Very little damage is reported from the
Hessian fly and that only In sections of
Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri and
Kansas.
THE COLD WAVE.
The weather from the seeding time un-
til the recent cold wave swept over the
country, except in cases hereafter noted,
has been very favorable TO the growth of
the plant. In the eastern, northern and
northwestern states, snow covering has
afforded protection in addition to that of
a mild temperature.
Reports as to the effects on wheat
resulting from the recent cold spell, are
not so satisfactory nor conclusive as is
desirable. The injury to the crop is un-
doubtedly considerable, If not great. but
the comments of the correspondents ac-
companying the reports would seem to
indicate that the full extent Of the
damage was not fully determinable at the
date of transmission. In the eastern and
northern states the damage was COM
paratively slight.
IN THE SOUTH.
In the South Atlantic and southern
states the injury is marked and decided
With, perhaps, the exception Of Texas.
The returns indicate that freezing to
the ground was quite prevalent, especially
on low and rich moist lands; but with
the roots left untouched, or, at least,
alive with good prospects of recuperation
on the recurrence Of favorable weather
In the states of Kansas. Nebraska and
California the impaired condition Of the
crops have not resulted so much from the
frost as from cold, dry weather Hish
winds are also noted by our Kansas cor
respondents as one Of the causes Of I'm
favorable conditions. Rain is much
needed in these as well as other import
ant wheat-producing states.
