HAzLEToN'S FIRE.
Flames Did Vast Amount of Damage
Early Friday Morning.

One of the most disastrous fires in the
history of Hazleton occurred at an early
hour on Friday morning, when flames
were discovered issuing from the rear of
A. j. Haire's dry goods establishment
1t is supposed that spark from the arc
lamp dropped on case of flannel and
the fire smoudered for an hour. Finally
It developed into strong blaze, and
despite the prompt response of the fire
department it was plain that they could
do nothing. The building, which is a
four-story brick, is known as Brill's
block, and is one of the finest in the city.
The First National bank occupied the
floor next to Haire's store, and to save
this the efforts of the liremcn were CON
centrated.
The fire spread with startling rapidity,
and for time threatened the entire
square. Anton Wagner's double block
in the rear caught fire and was partially
destroyed before the flames were gotten
under control.
The loss to the Brill building is esti-
mated at $4,000, fully covered by insur-
ance. A. j. Haire's loss will foot up
S75, 900, with an insurance of $55, 900.
The bank was damaged to the extent of
81 900, but beyond a severe drenching
all documents were undisturbed. The
other losses are: Julius Hyman, clothier,
stock damaged to the extent of 81 400;
Attorney Sharpless, $400; p. o. S. of A.,
$1,000.
The families occupying the Wagner
building lost most of the : household
effects. The damage to the Wagner
building was about $1,000.

reedine sheaf wheat.

1t is learned from bulletin issued
by the Oregon station: 1. That steers
will not gain as rapidly on sheaf wheat
as when fed on ground grain. @ That
the animals do not relish the sheaf
wheat. g. It costs more to make 100
pounds Of gain in live weight on sheaf
wheat than on ground grain. 4. The
difference under all ordinary circum-
stances is sufficient to pay for thrashing
and grinding. 3. The animals cannot
be as well matured on wheat in the
sheaf as when fed ground grain; hence
Il less price Will be received for the fin
ished product. s. The same objections
to storing grain in this way, mentioned
under pig feeding experiments, will
hold true when feeding steers. 2. Bet
ter results can be obtained by feeding
sheaf wheat to steers than to pigs. S.
Much Of the grain consumed is not di-
gested. It has a tendency to scour the
animals.

storm, such as frequently comes in the
early fall. Various ways Of securing the
tops have been tried, such as thatching
with straw and roofing with board. The
latter is considered best by a Massachu
setts farmer, who tells Rural New York
er Of his device for fastening the boards
together in way that they can be readi-
ly removed and stored for use again. He
fastens them with hooks and eyes.
These, made Of wire and attached to
shanks that screw directly into the
wood, may now be purchased very cheap
by the dozen at any hardware store.
Use good pine boards, 16 feet in
length. A cleat Of the same thickness
should be securely nailed, with long
wire nails, directly against each end Of
the boards to secure them against check
ing and warping. The ridge is made by
securely mailing together two boards.
On the lower edge of each Of them fas-
ten two Of the hooks. When they are
placed in position on top OF the stack,
thrust the next boards under the edges
Of these so that they shall lap one inch
and insert the eye, which IS a small
1ing with a screw shank, at the right
distance from the hook When all the
boards are thus fastened in place by
being hooked together, they form a
stormproof stack roof. but one which is
flexible on its fastenings, so that it will
lie close to the hay or grain and wind
cannot get under it to lift it off. Its
great superiority consists III the ease
with which it may be unlocked and
takel down, one board at time, and
stored fer use year after year In the
cut here reproduced from Rural New
Yorker is represented a barn stack roof
ed in this way. Where large amounts
are stored, two and sometimes several
lengths Of roofing are used. In this case
only one length is taken off at time
as the stack is removed Or thrashed. 1t
can be cut down in sections with hay
knife, and thus only small portion at
a time is exposed to the chances of bad
weather.

Boanty on Hawks.

The chief Of division Of ornithology,
United States department Of agricul-
ture, reports that the bounty already
tried in certain states on hawks and
owls has resulted disasrously. He says:
As a result. thousands Of dollars were
spent and thousands OF birds killed,
most Of which were really beneficial to
agriculture A careful examination Of
more than 8, 900 stomachs Of hawks and
owls has demonstrated that only s Of
the 10 species and subspecies found in
the United States are actually injurious,
and 3 Of these species are 50 rare that
they hardly need to be considered. y

lii case free coinage of silver should
be established in this country | presume
insurance companies and all other insti-
tutions would continue to make their
payments by checks and drafts on banks,
as heretofore, but in my opinion the
whole volume Of our currency would
sink at once to the silver basis, and
these checks and drafts would be paid
ii silver dollars or their equivalent, as
is now the case. | presume no one sup
poses for a moment that it would be
the duty Of the government to keep the
standard silver dollar, coined free for
private individuals and corporations,
equal in value to a gold dollar, or, in
other words, that it would be the duty
Of the government to attempt under a
system Of free coinage to maintain the
parity Of the two metals The dollars
would be coined on private account and
delivered to private individuals and cor
porations as their own property, the
government having no interest whatev-
er in them and being therefore under
no obligation to sustain them by guar
anteeing their value.
Under our existing system all silver
dollars are coined on account of the gov
ernment and are issued by the govern
ment in payment Of its obligations, ana
it will be an act Of bad faith, therefore,
to permit them to depreciate Yours

other Issues subordirated to That ss
Honest Money.
A good many sound money Dem
ocrats are insinuating that the Repub-
Iicans are giving too much attention to
the tariff, and that this is preventing
these Democrats from supporting the
Republican ticket. This charge is ex-
travagant and absurd Every Republic
an, except a Bourbon here and there,
like Robert P. Porter, is going very
light on the tariff. In all of Mckinley S
talks in the past two or three weeks the
money question holds the first place.
This will be the case throughout the
canvass. 1t is very safe to say that III
his letter of acceptance he will give six
times as much space to the finance is
sue as he will to the tariff question.
Democrats who want to come over to
the Republican side for this campaign
will not be compelled to listen to much
tariff talk.
The Republican leaders, writer's and
stump speakers understand the sitEa-
ton thoroughly and are not going to
waste any time on minor issues They
are going to discuss the finance cues
tion to the virtual exclusion Of every
thing else. They will talk for the gold
standard and tight everything and ev
erybody who is against it. 1t is very
clear that the masses ef the voters are
not botkering Themselves much about
the tariff at present. They aro thinking
and talking about tke silver question,
and Republican writer's and speakers
are going to educate them thoroughly
on this issue batwe7a the present time

ity again some time. vi aher that time
is near or far depends upon the extent
of the drubbing which the repEdiators
and anarchists get this year. II the
bogus money conspiracy is completely
extirpated, as it probably will be, by
the beating which the Bryan ticket will
get, then the tariff issue will come to
the front again in two or three years,
and the old partisan divisions on that
question will be renewed. For the pres
ent, however, the tariff is dwarfed by
the finance question as completely as it
was by the slavery issue from Texas
annexation to the civil war. Ordinarily
parties can deal with several questions
at a time, but when any Of them comes
up in the portentous shape which the
money issue now has taken every other
question has to drop into the background
until tlis is settled. This is the law of
politics, aud it will not be violated III
this case. The people will hear very
much about the necessity of preserving
an honest currency, of maintaining law
and order and Of defending the repub-
Ican government against the attacks Of

Where it is necessary TO build stacks
Of either hay or grain 1t is sometimes
desirable to make them larger than Is
practicable in the ordinary round form.
TO Go this they are Often built in an
elongated shape, with straight Sides
the tops carried up to a ridge instead OF
to a peak, and hence, from their form,
called "barnstacks. Frequently from
20 TO 80 tons are thus stored in one
mass. The advantage Of this method is
that in proportion to Nthe number OF
tons stored there is less surface exposed
to the elements than would be the case
were the same amount built into sever

There is, however, always difficulty
in making the straight sides of such a

A CUBAN EXILE.
Rev. Diaz Describes Outrages Committed
by Spanish Soldiers


CINCINNATI. June S.-Rev. A. j.
Diaz, Cuban, born within eight
miles of Havana, and for II years pas
tor of the Gethsemane Baptist church
in Cuba, now an exile by order of
General Weyler. preached yesterday
in Covington, also in Mont Auburn,
and last night at the Ninth-street
Baptist church,
He was noncombataut in Cuba un-
til his exile. Now he proposes to
travel and lecture all over the United
States in the interest of the Cuban
patriots, as he calls them. He was
recently released from Moro castle in
obedience to orders from the officials
at Madrid. to whom President Cleve-
land has sent overtures in his behalf.
He said he had been noncom batant
and neutral. He maintained hospi-
tai in Havana for Spaniards, and one
on the outside of the city for the insur-
gents. He said Spanish soldiers came
and butchered 200 unarmed insurgents
in his country hospital in cold blood
and then bulletined it as an engage
ment in which they won great vic
tory. He said the Spanish soldiers
repeatedly went to plantations where
the rebels had been, and, after they
had gone, in every instance butchered
all the unarmed citizens, women and
children included, and then Weyler
would bulletin these massacres ds en-
gagements with insurgents and
Spanish victory. 1t was for telling
the truth of these events that. General
Weyler imprisoned him in Moro
castle.
