BROOKLYN, Aug. 2.-Fire destroyed the
covered pier Of Boards stores and did con-
siderable damage to shipping. The bark
Cairnie Hill, from Calcutta, took fire, as
did two canal boats, three lighters and a
pile driving vessel. The Cairnie Hill was
towed out in tho stream, where, after a
stubborn fight by the men on board and
by the two hreboats, the flames were ex-
tinguished The canal boats were also
towed away before they had sustained any
irreparable injury. One of the lighters,
however, belonging to the New York Cen
tral Railroad company, was entirely de-
stroyed A rough estimate places the
total loss at about $3.50 900.

MRS. CHASE HOMELESS

Tells OF Her Troubles.
NEW YORK, Aug Mrs. Kate Chase
has arrived in this city from Washington,
and is stopping at a hotel here. In con.
versation Mrs. Chase said
so many, somewhat contradictory,
stories have appeared Of late throughout
the country in regard to my undertakings

Chief Justice Chase, that it 10 wise. per

not yet arrived for me to give a full and

that have lead TO my financial embarrnss-

paired during the last three years. re-

cannot fail to be misleading.
Ihe cooperation of number of prom
inent men and women of large wealth to
save Edgewood, a valuable historic land
mark, as testimony of their appreciation
of the valuable ublic services Of Secretary
Chase, and to relf5vo the urgent pecuniary
needs of his daughter, has been liberal.
As to the part Ohio people have taken in
the matter, | may say that a great num-
Der have expressed approval, but l have
not heard what has been accomplished in
that state. l have noticed names of men
as participating who, to my own knowl-
edge, have not been approached.

Utility of the Shark.

Some useful products from what may be
termed a novel source are enumerated by
The Revue Scientitique as showing the
ingenuity and diversifcation of modern
industry and the value of that bandit of
the sea, the shark. Thus the liver of this
predatory creature is found to contain an
oil of a beautiful color, which never be-
comes turbid and possesses medicinal
qualities of a very valuable character. The
skin after being dried takes the polish
and hardness of mother of pearl, and on
being marbled bears u resemblance to fos-
sill coral so that it is employed by jewellers
for the manufacture of fancy objects, by
blinders for making shagreen and by cab
inetmakers for polishing wood. The fins,
independent of use by some as an article
of food, are superior for conversion into
fish glue, competing in this line with the
well known sturgeon glue prepared in
Russia, and are used for clarifying beer,
wine and other liquors, also for the prep
aration of English taffetas and as reagents
in chemistry, etc. The flesh, too, despite
its oily taste, is in some places eaten as
food, and, along with the bones, is con-

PAUL OF RUSSIA.
His Assassination Was Singularly Like the
Ending of Julius Cesar.


The 25th of March, 1901, was the day on
which the Emperor Paul of Russia was as
sassinatcd. Paul had received some whis-
pers of the plot against his life, and had
arranged to leave st. Petersburg the fol-
lowing day and go to Moscow, where he
faEc he might be safer. On the evening
of the 25th he retired to rest at an early
hour that he might thoroughly rest him
self before commencing his journey, At
II o'clock about n score of the conspirators
Officers holding high rank in the army
appeared at the gate of the palace 1t
was closed, but the officers presented an
order, signed by the emperor himself--or
rather with forged signature attached
and, informing the sentinel that they were
called to hold a council of war with the
czar, were admitted.
The emperor's aidde-camp was one of
the foremost of the conspirators and went
In advance of the others to Pauls bed
chamber, before the door of which was a
Cossack soldier on guard. 1.-THE emperor
sleeps" said the man. "I must rouse
him. There is fire in the city" replied the
treacherous aid. The Cossack, seeing
others push forward shouted out to alarm
the emperor and Immediately fell pierced
by the swords of the conspirators. Paul
attempted to bolt the door, but, being un-
able to do so, seized his sword and turned
boldly on them. "What is your design?"
he demanded of Count Plato Zouboff,
land what do these men want who are
with your" 1--WE demand your abdica-
tion," J." replied Zouboff, who then read a
| formal deed which had been previously
prepared.
"What! Do you, who have been loaded
with bounties by me- turn thus upon your
master?" said the emperor.
"You are no longer our master, replied
Zouboff. 1.-THE nation has provided you a
successor In the shape of your son Alexan-
der.
Paul at this raised his sword, and the
conspirators, who had not expected him to
show so much courage, drew back, with
the exception of u man named Beningsen,
who urged the others forward, saying:
"If you hesitate you are lost"
Then Count Valerian Zouboff struck the
first blow and the others quickly followed
his example. As Paul still struggled an
officers sash was passed around his neck,
and the life was choked out of him, his
last words being:
"And you, too, my ConstantineW-

Trade Reports show Big Increases in Il
Volume of Business.

Trade Reports Show Big Increases in the
Volume of Business.
NEW YORK, Sept. a. Bradstreets
says: The concluding week of August
surprises even the more optimistic with
a striking increase i'll the volume Of
business with jobbers in staple lines at
such centers as New York, Boston, Chi
cago, St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Paul
and Minneapolis, and to a more moder-
ate extent at distributing pointsin South
Atlantic and Gulf states, among them
Charleston, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Sa-
vannah. Jacksonville, Birmingham and
Dallas. In dry goods, millinery, shoes,
hats, clothing and groceries the autumn
demand is making itself felt with the
prospect for a further improvement in
Immediately succeeding weeks. Ex-
ports of gold continue, but are met by
syndicate deposits and are
Expected to Cease Soon.
Crop prospects, except for cotton, have
somewhat improved during the week.
Important steps toward reorganization
of great railroads give hope to investors.
Labor troubles are for the moment less
threatening, and some of Importance
have been definitely settled. The in
dustries are not only doing better than
anybody had expected, but are counting
upon a great business for the rest of the
year.
The advance in prices of iron and it's
product has added about So per ton more
in a single week to the price of Bes-
aemer iron at Pittsburg, and yet the
great steel companies are buying
wherever they can, while the air is full
of reports that this or that finished
product will further advance. Many Of
the ablest men
Deplore the Sudden Rise
but the various combinations which
now control many iron products have so
successfully lifted prices thus far that
the markets seem to lack the restraint
OF individual caution, and meanwhile
holders OF large quantities purchased
for future sale OF delivery want to get
all they can for them. Copper has so
far advanced that large quantities of
American are coming back from Europe.
The prospect for wheat has hardly
improved this week, though the price
has fallen a quarter Of a cent. Western
receipts have decidedly increased, but
are only 1905, 905 bushels against 6,42S,-
2SS last year, and Atlantic exports are
only 1,373,356 for the week, flour in
cluded, against 3,271,1 1S last year.
