RAZED ID THE EARTH
A Grist Mill on the Southside
 Goes Up in Flames.
CORN AND TIMBER AS FUEL
And the Fiery-Tongued Element Leaped Heaven ward in Its Glee-The Loss Is
 Placed at Si5,oo0.

The old tack factory, at Sixteenth street and Avenue E, occupied by c. F. Wheelock's corn mill, was burned at 10 o'clock last night, with a loss of about $15,OOO.
 An alarm of fire was turned in from box 12S and both North and Southside departments responded The fire was discovered in pile of corn husks in the southwest corner of the building and was bursting through the windows by time the alarm was turned in. When the department arrived the southwest corner of the building was covered with flames and burning fierce ly and making an immense fire.
 The building was wooden structure, with the exception of one end, which was brick, and it was filled mostly with grain, which made fuel for an intense fire. The firemen poured several streams of water on the blazes. but it did not seem to be very effective, either from the strength of the stream or from the intense fire. The fire continued to consume the structure and it's contents, and spread from the southwest corner until it consumed everythi in reach.
 Many remarks were heard about the weak pressure of water, but the firemen certainly fought manfully to extinguish the fire.
 The building was an old one and was built originally for a tack factory but about four months ago MT. c. F. Vince lock rented it and opened up corn mill. It belonged to the Elyton Land company and was insured.
 In the building was a considerab ble amount of new and costly machinery and several thousand bushels of corn and meal The loss on the building is about $6000, and on the machinery and con- tents about $9000 with full insurance.
 How the fire originated could not be ascertained, but it is said that fire was discovered and later extinguished yes terday morning near the place where 1t was first seen last night.
 Three cars of corn standing on the mill house track were badly burned The fire was over an hour and half in con sumng the building.

Romance and Reality.

A young student of sociology who be- longs to one of the oldest and most exclu-. sive families of New York and has spent most of his lifc in the circles of the Four Hundred, is making queer collection of data which, he says, he intends to publish. It is study of the blasted lives of the old, wrinkled beggar women who are go often met with in tho streets He never secs ono but he accosts her and asks her, "Were you cvcr happy when you were young?" If he finds that his query devel ops an interesting story, he tips n good silver piece into the trembling hand. That sets tho old woman's tongue loose, and tales of youthful romance and ruin arc unfolded that might make matter for nov els far moro intense and powerful than the average.-New York Recorder.
