TOO MUCH TOBACCO SMOKE
Thousands of Cases of the World
Famed Leaf Destroyed.
Greatest Fire of Its Kind In Pennsyi-
vania History and Believed to
Have Been Incendiary.

Lancaster, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE most dis
astr9ps leaf tobacco fire in the history of
this city started at 8 O'Clock this morning
in the warehouse OF John F. Brimmer, on
Tobacco avenue, and communicated to the
warehouse owned by r. H. Brubaker, both
OF which were entirely destroyed with
their contents.
In the Brimmer warehouse were 1900
cases OF leaf tobacco, owned by John F.
Brimmer, the loss on which is estimated at
$4,000, with $4,000 loss on building.
Insurance $4,000.
In the Ijrubaker warehouse were 1,132
cases of leaf tobacco. owned by the trus-
tee of the preferred creditors OF Amos b.
Hostetter, the Philadelphia and Lancaster
dealer, who made a disastrous failure
some months ago.
This tobacco was also entirely destroyed,
eptaiiing a loss of over $50, 900; insurance
not vet ascertained, but will not cover the
loss. The loss on the warehouse will
reach $4,000.
The tobacco warehouses on either side
were occupied by ]. Bunzl & Sons. of New
York, and are filled with leaf tobacco
which was badly damaged by water and
present, no member of the firm being in
town. The fire was undoubtedly of in
cendiary origin.

Albert Gleason Brings Suit Against
Several Firms.
Albert Gleason to-day brought suit for
injunction against the National Safe De
posit, Savings and Trust Company. the
Ivy City Brick Company and three others.
Mr. Gleason stated in his bill of COM
plant that he borrowed So 600 from the
Savings and Trust Company on August
IS, 1891, and assecurity for his note hypoth-
ecated 100 shares of stock in the Ivy City
Brick Company.
On August 27, 1891, 50, 400 more was
borrowed and forty-eight shares of stock
were given as security.
After January J., 1895, the petitioner
said, he was unable to meet the interest
on the indebtedness. The trust company
then gave notification that the security
shares would be advertised for sale. 1t
was claimed that the sale took place to
fictitious PERSONS, and that virtually the
Ivy City Brick Conn., pany was the purchaser
of its own stock.
The petitioner therefore asked that the
brick company be restrained from trans
ferring the stock TO others. and that the
petitioner lie allowed tn redeem the stock
or it be restored To the trust company.

CARLISLE May REVERSE IT
Bowler's Decision on the Sugar
Bounty Is in Danger.
Should the Secretary Disagree with
the Comptroller the Whole Matter
win Be ReOpened.

Secretary Carlisle has set September 20
or later date if counsel prefer it, for q
hearing of argument on the motion made by
ex-senator MaIderson, as counsel for the
Oxnard Beet Sugar Company, of Nebraska
in regard to the sugar cases.
Senator Manderson's contention is that
the cases cannot be sent to the Court OF
Claims without the consent of the claim
ants, and he asked the Secretary TO give
him hearing on this point. Secretary Car
Isle has acceded to his request, aud thus
has practically reopened the entire case
In the hearing before Comptroller Bowler
MI Manderson conten ded that section
lO63, Revised Statutes, under which the
Comptroller assumed to act in referring the
case 10 the Court of Claims had beenrepealed
Comptroller Bowler referred to this point
10 his decision, and said, Notwithstanding
the doubt which had been suggested on this
point in a case pending before the Supreme
Court, he was strongly of the opinion that
the section was still in force
Should Secretary Carlisle, however, diff
fer with Comptroller Bowler on this cues
ton, or should he sustain the contention of
the claimants that their consent is requisite
under the law before the case can be
referred 10 the Court of Claims his action
on those points, il is said, might be followed
by another order tn return the Oxnard
sugar case to the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue with instructions to state the
accounts and return ii to the Secretary of
the Treasury, and not to the Comptroller of
the Treasury, for rcertification and pa yment
This would of course, amount to a COM
piete reversal of Comptroller Rowler's
ruling, which the Comptroller contends no
one has power to do.
