BAD BLAZE.
Half Million Dollars Go u In
Smoke at OEdensburE.

OGDENSBURG, n. Y, Aug.9.-Early
this morning fire started in the lum-
Der pile of Skinnings. Whitney & Bar
mes Lumber company. The local fire
department was inadequate to conc
with the flames and at 6 o'clock the
department from Prescott, Ont, ar
rived in response to appeals for assis-
lance. About 100000 feet of pine
lumber. valued at 100000, was de-
stroyed. If the favorable winds con-
tinue the fighters win save the elevator,
which, with contents, is valued at a
million dollars.
The wharves. freight and manufac-
turing buildings and coal pits. near
Central Vermont depot, are also be-
lieved TO be safe. This is the largest
fire that ever visited Ogdensburg.

RAN AGROUND.
Defender Meets With an Accident,
But is Uniniured.


NEWPORT. r. I. Aug. 9.-The Defender
went out for a spin today, and as she
was returning TO the harbor, ran aground
hard and fast on the split which runs out
from Goat Island. The tide was on the
ebb and after several trials it became ap-
parent that the ship could not be freed
before high tide, though she lay in an
easy position where she struck bottom.
The tide was ebbing fast and when after
futile attempts to free the sloop it be-
came apparent that the crew must wait
for the next tide, they busted themselves
in laying plans for floating their boat
These were put into effect soon after,
when the tide was well on towards its
Hood The men were sent on the boom
TO try TO cant the sloOp off Their
combined weight so far aft was what was
needed and the plan worked excellently
At $40 the Defender fioated and at once
proceeded up the harbor to her anchor
age. 1t is thought she is uniniured. All
hopes of d race between the Jubilee and
Defender tomorrow have been crushed
by the unexpected departure of the Jubi-
lee for Boston. The reason is not known

Tells of His Flight.
George w. Hill, of the American Bap-
fist missionary union, a Yachan, tells
of the flight of himself and party from
there and of an attempt to mob
them while going down the river in a
boat. He was unable to tell at the
time the letter was written, whether
the Baptist mission property at Yachan
had been destroyed, but he learned
before leaving there that all the sta
tons on the Cheng TIL and Yachan
roads, Catholic and Protestant, had
been looted and there had also been
riots at Hu Hung va, Kiating, Sui Eu,
Ii Chnang and other places where the
missions were attacked. Mr.. Hill
praises the action of the Chinese off
Gals in giving them every protection
at Yachan.

Referring to the qualifica ton Of
voters, he insisted that the idea that
the constitution should provide for the
qualification of voters and prescribe
the same and the convention by ordi-
nance should enact that officers should
be elected by only part of the voters,
who would be authorized to vote under
the constitution. was to his mind pre-
posterous.
That officers should be elected and
hold Office for from five to seven years
after the state is admitted and only
portion of the qualified electors having
chosen them, was contrary to reason
and common sense. Referring to the
declaration that no force could be
given to the constitution until after
it had been adopted, he referred to ar
ticle 9 of the constitution, which pro-
vides that there shall be an election
held for representative in Congress
in November, 1895, at the same time
that the constitution is voted on. IF

Collecting Conner Coins.

It is curious fact that most numismat-
lists are partial to collections of copper
rather than gold or even silver. One of
them told me recently that he would
scarcely turn round to look at rare gold
coin, while he would travel miles to see an
equally rare copper one. This pc
culiar phenomenon is explained in
two ways. In the first place, copper
collections are much safer from theft than
those of gold or silver as the latter, if
stolen, may be melted and disposed of in
bulk al market price that is quite an
object to the burglar or thief. The mate
rial, however. in old copper, bronze or
brass coins of low face value is not worth
stealing. and the coins themselves cannot
be disposed OF without melting, as they can
be identified and the thief thus detected.
In the second place, it Is not a rare thing
to find gold or silver coin, especially the
former, in state of perfect preservation,
while the reverse is true of the copper
coin. The latter, being cheap and COM
mon, are not boarded and preserved
with the same care as the more
precious bits of metal, but are ex-
posed to physical bruises, to the wear of
the pocket, and to the corrosive action of
the atmosphere. This makes y perfect
copper coin an object of strong desire On
the part of the numismatist, who preserves
such find with greatest care. One collec-
tor places his valuable collection of pence
and half pence in individual boxes, the
coins being wrapped in cotton, and the
whole stock is insured for considerable
sum.

better than that, and he is not doing HIM
self justice nor is he giving his department
credit for what it is able to do.
+ Years ago Boston, Charlie, the king of
bunko men, offered Chief Crowley $4,000
per week to allow him to run his games in
this city. Crowley not only refused the
offer but ran "Boston" Charlie out of the
State.
What is the matter with.the Chief doing
with the games run by the.poolssmen like
he did with the games Boston" Charlie
opened in this City. All he has to do is to
raid them. Let him send Captain Witt
man with dozen policemen IN the patrol
wagon to the corner of Ellis and Market
streets tomorrow afternoon after 2
O'Clock. Let a squad go in at 906
Market street and two others in
and II Ellis street. They will cap.
ture fifty proprietors and employees of
gambling houses, and many hundreds of
players. Not one in the whole lot but
knows he is doing something contrary to
the law.
The Chief claims that he has already
arrested dozen men in connection with
this poolroom proposition. So he has;
but the arresting officers have gone to the
very places where they should not have
gone to make arrests. if they had any
hope of making their case stick.

commission as brokers, andsthe charge 10
cents per order left with them on each bet
made ON races. On these claims the peo
nle who have been arrested in Corbett
e. Co 3 nlace and one or two others have
heen acquitted. Now, Chief Crowley
should know better than to make arrests
in cases where the constitutionallty OF the
law must be tested. Why not start IN at
the foot of the ladder and arrest the vio-
lators of the law who nave apsolulely no

practical illustration of how feeble police

But then there are >twenty.one olner
houses OF the Fleming e. Co. kind In the
City. They are out-and-out gambling

Burglars in China.

The Chinese burglar goes about his ne
farious business in very methodical
manner. He takes an ingredient of his
own, burns it and blows the smoke through
the keyhole of the bedroom where the
master of the house is asleep. The fumes
dull the senses of the victim just enough
to make him helpless, while at the same
time permitting him to see and hear
everything that goes on in the room. The
only antidote against this charm is pure
water, and most of the wealthy Chinese
folk sleep with basin of this near their
heads.
