BELLAIRE.

Yesterday was a very sultry and close
day, and except for the haziness it
would have been a scOrcher. As it was
there were not many parties on the
streets till after shutdown, and even
then there was not the usual crowds, so
many Of our people were out of town
and there were but very few strangers
about. The hotel blotters showed clear.
The fishing camps and parks have too
many attractions for people to remain
in the hot dusty city, when such in
viting retreats are open for their amuse-
ment Our people love a change, and
these places give such changes as are
pleasureable.
The attendance at the churches these
days are rather slim. especially at the
forenoon services. In the evening the
audiences are larger and more young
people 80. The pastors take advantage
Of this custom, and generally preach in
the morning a sermon especially adapt
ed to the older members of the church.
But in the evening they try to suit the
general public in their discourses.
Lately it has become q custom to
preach suitable sermons TO the season
of the year Just now Fourth of July
sermons are in order, and most of the
services have very pertinent patriotic
diScourses with hymns Of a patriotic
character This is well. as our boys
and girls need strong patriotic lessons
Of instruction.
Incendiaries got in their work again
yesterday morning about 1890. The
alarm of fire was given by the steam
whistles blowing first. then followed by
the alarm bell The fire was in a
small coal shed in the rear of the
Schmulbach hall building. It had first
been saturated with coal oil, then set
on fire. But little damage was done.
The rear door and windows OF the hall
was ruined and the coal shed destroyed.
Not many weeks since there was fire
in coal shed just across the the alley
from this one. There seems to be a
disposition to damage the property here
The stable and horse Of Gus Shiek had
a narrow escape from destruction.
The funeral Of Frank Whitney, yes
terday, was largely attended. 4 large
number Of the firemen assisted in con-
Quoting the rites and he was laid away
with al the pomp usually displayed in

Discovered Too Late.

Old time local stablemen do not tire of
telling the incident that befe1 the livery
man who once ran stable at the corner
of Amherst and Elmback streets something
over 20 years ago. The old stable was
many years ago removed to the south end
to give place to more modern block.
One summer day we'll dressed and ap-
parently well to do stranger entered the
stable and said he wanted to hire a team
for drive through the country for eight
or ten days. The stranger had his eye par
ticularly on O handsome black mare of
Canadian pedigree and stylish carriage
The stableman inquired which way his
prospective customer was going and the
price agreed upon was 50 day. But the
stableman hesitated.
81 don't know you,'' he said. "You
may be all right or you may not. 1 don't
know where you re from or anything about
YOU
well. III pay you in advance, if that's
what you want, said the stranger.
But the stableman was not worrying so
much about the pay as he was the sure
and safe return OF the team.
I'm tell you what I'll do said the
stranger. I'm buy the team outright.
What you take?'
"Tfree hundred dollars said the sta
bleman, for the whole rig, mare and all. -
'Done,' said the stranger 'Here's
your money" And he pulled out big
roll of bills and counted out the $500,
jumped into the team and drove off.
Ten days afterward the stranger came
back, drove into the stable, threw the reins
over the mares back and inquired for the
proprietor.
Hurry up, too,' said the stranger,
''for l must be away"
When the proprietor appeared, the stran-
said. 90 HprAfS tho faaT and I'd liE-a

I'm in a hurry, SO brace up.
''Give you what L took-s30o' - said tho

and the stranger, saying a hurried goodby,
disappeared.

a rumor that Protestant missionaries had
conspired to blow up church contain
ing the miraculous image of the virgin at
Guadalupe with dynamite bombs, or to
set fire to the structure. A section of
the city fire department is at Gaudaloupe
near the church. The authorities give
the rumor no credence, but it shows how
popular feeling has been excited by the
threatened Protestant missionary crusade
against alteration of the virgin around
which many patriotic traditions cluster.

Cubans Make a Bold Entrance
Into Santa Clara.
Small Band Goes as Far as-the
Park.
SURPRISE.
Spanish Soldiers Killed and
Ammunition Taken.
Plantations and Railroads
Burned by the Insurgents.

TAMPA, Fla Oct. Passengers ar
irving from Cuba report the landing
Thursday of an expedition in Honda,
forty miles west OF Havana, composed
of $50 we'll armed men supposed to be
commanded by Colonel Iazo or Corril
To- Martinez Campos reached Havana
Thursday morning from Santa Clara.
That night at o'clock the
insurgents under General Sanchez
entered the city of Santa Clara,
going as far as Central park,
killing many Spanish soldiers,
obtaining their arms, ammunition
and provisions, and returning to the
country. 1t was a most daring attack
and caused great excitement. Cam
pos upon hearing of the bold stroke,
left Thursday at midnight for Santa
Clara without having given audience
to anyone. His sudden departure
from Havana created CONSERVATION
there. Rail communication with
Santa Clara is impossible. The insur-
gents have destroyed the track, and
the storm on Tuesday seriously dam
aged all the bridges leading to Ha
vana. Over Is, 900 bales OF tobacco
are stored in Remedies and Santa
Clara, but the insurgents prohibit their
removal.
From El Pueblo Oyo, thirty lead
ing men joined the insurgents,
after being enlisted and equipped as
Spanish volunteers. They are going
ont Tuesday under Alfredo Mota
From Alquiz Thursday night forty five
men Joined the insurgents. This is
forty miles from Havana. In the city
of Matanzas the houses of prominent
citizens were searched for arms, IN
successfully. Captain Jose La Crete
has burned Encruida, which is near
Sagua La Grande, and destroyed the
railway station and the tracks. The
large plantation in Cienfuegos of Mar
quis Apistigui, Cuban who affiliated
with the Spanish, was entirely burned
by the insurgents Monday. He Of
fered ammunition and money to save
his property, but without avail Gen
eral Mello, with Spanish detach-
ment, left Puerto Principe on Septem-
Der 10 for Santiago province. Nothing
has been heard from him since, and
fears that the whole detachment has
been lost have been entertained. The
storm and rains ruined newly planted
tobacco. The authorities are taxing
the merchants of Havana by sub
seriptioE for large amounts to aid in
the purchase of new warships. The
Spanish soldiers rations for several
days consisted of a piece of dried beef
and pilot bread.
