Mr. J. G. Stephens, OF Stephens & Beetem,

\ friend told us that he was visiting a
lighthouse lately, and said to the keeper:
" Are younot atraidtolive here? ~ 1t isa
dreadful place to be constantly in"
"No,' replied the man, 81 am not
afraid; we never think of ourselves here, p"
Never think of yourselves How is
that"
I'VE know that we are perfectly safe,
and only think of having our lamps
brightly burning, and keeping the rehec-
tors clear, so that those in danger may
be saved"
This is what Christians ought to do.
They are safe in a house built on Rock
which cannot be moved by the widest
storm and, in a spirit of holy unselhsh-
ness, they should let their light CLEAN
across the dark waters Of sin, that they
who are imperiled may be guided into the
harbors OF eternal safety.-The Culver.

SILVER MEN WIN.
Brice Beaten in His Home County
Bimetallism In Europe.

Lima, Ohio, Aug. 12.-The free silver
men succeeded in getting the best of the
day at the home of Senator Brice at the
convention. Seven out of the ten dele
gates chosen from Allen county to the
Democratic state convention are for free
silver. The silver men seem to have
caught their opponents unawares. They
claim to have also carried the Lorain
county Democratic convention.
THE FOREIGN SITUATION.
London.-The bimets!lic question seems
again coming to the front. Hitherto
the German governments action has not
been regarded in financial circles here as
serious attempt to deal with the ques
tion, but as only intended to quiet the
de nands of the agrarian party in Ger
r1sAy. On the other hand the Associated
Pressi is informed by the officials of the
bimetallic league in London that advices
which have been received there leave no
room for doubt that there is general de.
sire among the Berlin authorities to
promote an international monetary con-
ference which would not be merely one of
doctrinal character, but which would
aim at practical results. There is no
doubt that the London gold men have
been taken aback by the large number of
members of the present British cabinet
who are bimetallists. For the same rea-
sons the bimetallic league is greatly
elated and is prosecuting a more extend
ed agitation throughout the industrial
and agricultural centers of the country.

flames In PHILADELPHIA.
Quaker City Visited by One of the
Fiercest COnfagratiOns III Its
History To-day.
Immense Paper Box Factory and Many
Dwellings Burned-Fire Depart
ment Slow>-Water Supply
Deficient-Loss Over
$5oO,OOO.

Philadelphia, Aug. IL. = One of the
fiercest fires that ever visited this city
originated at $3.50 this morning in the
rear of the paper box factory of Brown,
Bailey & Brown, 412 franklin street. The
building, five stories high and extending
through to Eighth street, is complete
loss.
The factory was surrounded by small
dwellings,. The flames leaped across
Willow street to the dwellings, on the
south side of that thoroughfare and are
rapidly eating their way through to Cal
low Hill street, block south. strong
breeze from the northwest is blowing the
flames and it seems almost impossible to
save the dwellings on the south side of
Willow street, between Franklin and
Eighth streets. The dwellings, and stores
on Eighth street, north of Willow, are
BURNING P1ERoELY.
1t is reported that three employees were
burned to death IN the box factory, but
this can not be verified. The flames are
spreading rapidly, and the block, bounded
by Franklin, Willow, Eighth and Callow
Hill streets, will probably be total loss.
In the rear of Browns factory and facing
on Eighth street was Buck & Co.'S big gas
fixture and chandelier factory. This firm
carried big stock and its loss will be
heavy.
Yeager & Davis big coal yard on the
southeast corner of Eighth and Willow
streets is burning at this hour, 1890 a.
m. Several firemen, overcome by the
intense heat, we're removed to the hos
pital. The loss at this writing is about
100000.
GREAT PHILADELPHIA FIRE IN DETAIL.
The fire started at $3.50, but it was
nearly 8 before an engine responded to
the alarm. The delay proved disastrous.
The firemen turned their attention to
saving the adjoining buildings, but the
supply of water was inadequate and it
looked for time as if the whole block,
bounded by franklin, Eighth, Willow and
Callow Hill streets, would be swept away.
The firemen worked heroically until 1l:l5,
whei. the fire was under control. The
principal losers are Brown & Bailey and
Buck & Go. The formers loss will reach
$150000, with insurance of 100000
Buck & Co.'S loss is between 100000 and
$l25,000, with insurance of between
$4,000 and $4,000. Yeager & Bro, coal
dealers, place their loss at about $4,000,
while the loss on burned dwellings, is
about $4,000. Several firemen were hurt,
but none fatally.

a few minutes ago. Deputy Marshal

with a Winchester held them IN place
until DSputy Sheriff Weeks, of Hancock,
