fire originated at fifteen minutes past
twelve o'clock this morning, in a sec
ond story room of the building occupied
by the grocery firm of Simmons & Co.,
and despite all the efforts of the entire
population. ragged for nearly six hours,
destroying three solid squares OF build
ings in the heart Of the town, including
forty business houses. The loss is var
iously estimated at from $4,000 to
S25O.000. with total insurance Of per-
haps oue-half the smaller amount. The
fire traversed almost idendcally the
same terri DRY burned over by The great
fire of 1888, when the city received
blow from which il took years to re-
cover. Some of the losses Occas.Oned
by that fire had sc5 rely Ell fully re-
paired. and this second blow has had
most discOuraging effect upon many Of
the victims. How the fire originated no
one knows.
When discovered it was burning
fiercely. and as the town is utterly
without fre-hghting appliances of any
description, the people were almost
powerless. A number of bucket bri-
gades We're formed, but the efforts thus
made were entirely futile, and the only
apparent effect was to exhaust the
men. as the fire burned until there was
no more fuel within its reach. In all
three squares were destroyed-One on
the cross street leading from Main
street leading 70 the railroad depot,
and the other two on Main street. The
buildings were mostly of frame con-
struction, and a high wind blew con-
stantly during the progress of the fire.
BY some miracle the Court House es-
capped the fire. although buildings were
burned all around il, and the residence
of William Bartlett, on the opposite
square from the Court House, was
saved by the hard work of many cit
liens. The Court House contained, Of
course, all the records of the county,
and its destruction would have entail
ed many and serious complications.
One drug store and three small bust
ness places are all that remain to-
night OF the business portion Of the
town.
The principal firms burned out, most Of
whom lose their entire stock. books, and
furniture. are: Simmons & Co.'S grocery,
the Spencer Bank. Chapman's Hotel, Hoyt
Benefits cigar factory, Chapmans drug
store. Giles saddlery store. Rudman &
McIutosh's hardware store. Parsons drug
store. Jewellers general store. loves
general store. A. Casr~'s restaurant. G.
y Castro's restaurant. public school
building Frank COTS general store, Spen-
Ger livery stables Smiths clothing store,
Masonic Temple Archer's photograph gall
lery. A dozen residences were also con-
sumcd The residence Of Walter Pendle-
ton. late Democratic candidate for Con-
gress. was only saved with great difficulty.
The State Asylum buildings are Unharm-
ed. but there was a great uproar among
The inmates. who became terror-stricken,
and were only handled by the attendants
with great difficulty. Temporary buildings
will be erected i'm the burned district, and
am effort Will be made to rebuild the town
i'm more substantial manner.

st. Louis Republic.
A wealthy St Louisan living in the Vi
cinity of Lafayette Park provided a novel
form of entertainment for his guests one
evening last week.
The hostess was extremely anxious to
provide something original for the edif-
cation of a score of guests whom she had
intended to call together for an informal
evening Her husband promised TO pro-
vide sucL novelty, and took a boon COM
panion into his confidence to that end.
They had not exchanged ideas thirty con-
secutive seconds before they hit upon the
device of converting the elegant parlors
into gambling house pro TEN. A faro
bank. a roulette wheel. and poker and
keno "lay-outs" were easily procurable,
as the conferees well knew, and that part
of the programme was soon settled The
friend suggested as a pretty epilogue the
Introduction of a pair of bull dogs, guar
anteed to reduce each other to mince meat
in three rounds. This rather staggered
the ambitious host, but his friend is a
ward politician, and with the eloquence he
always keeps on draught soon convinced
the other that the evening would be
failure without those bull dogs
The evening arrived and with it came
the guests. The ladies were prettily
shocked at sight of the gambling para
phernalia but became accustomed to it
in an astonishingly short time and shared
in the games with becoming vim. 1t was
then the yellow bull dogs made their UNI
expected entrance that the horror of the
fair guests proved genuine. The beasts
yelled and growled and showed other
peculiarly canine symptoms of spelling
for a fight Thereupon the ladies sought
refuge on the piano and card table and
chairs. conducting their retreat as from
a mouse
Notwithstanding the excited feminine
protestauous, the friend who had been
consulted as to a novelty in entertain
ment unlashed the dogs. Ii was an exclt-
ing climax to an original evening. The
dogs Toasted for five minutes on choice
bits of each others anatomy. The ladies
screamed and the friend who was consult
ed eXulted i'm the success Of the novelty
When he was quite convinced and 1t took
a considerable time to convince him. that
the ladies' desire for gore had been fully
gratifed. he doused the dogs into a con-
venient tub of water and separated them
Refreshments were then served. of which
the ladies' did not partake

THE BOTANICAL GARDEN PLAN.

Some erroneous and otherwise rather unfortu-
nate statements have been made concerning the
typographical plan for the Botanical Garden in
Bronx Park 1t has been said for instance that
the Garden trustees and the Park Commission
ers were having a sharp controversy about tie
matter. and that the plan would probably be
dsapproved by the Board. representing the city,
with the effect of bringing the enterprise TO
standSiill These assertions proceed from an
entire misunderstanding Of the situation. The
facts are that the persons TO whom the task of
making a plan for the laying ont OF the tract
which was set apart for the purposes OF the
Garden was delegated by the trustees COM
pleted their work some time ago and submitted
their plan at recent meeting of the trustees
There was a mOmentary disposition to accept it
without delay but upon reflection the trustees
properly decided that matter of such impor
tance ought not to be passed upon without care,
full consideration and action was accordingly
postponed A conclusion may be reached this
week, possibly tomorrow. and in due time the
Park Commissioners will necessarily take ii un
der advisemcnt since they are as strictly respon
sIble as they ever were for the proper admin
istration of that part Of Bronx Park which has
been. not alenated. but set apart for the Boan-
ical Garden. There appears to be misappre-
hensiOn as to this point. Bronx Park in its en-
tlrety remains public property under municipal
control but $50 acres of it are to be bOtanicaly
treated the city having agreed to spend 5000
600 for that purpose. and individuals having al
ready contributed $25OOOO The plan referred
To- which the trustees themselves have moi yet
accented. has never been submitted to the Park
Board. and there has been no controversy.
Nor is 1t to be supposed that there will be
controversy. Certainly the pubc-spirited ciii-
zens who have generously contributed in time
and money to this undertaking are neither more
nor less anxious than those having official re-
sponsIbilty In the matter that no mistake should
IN, made Mt the outset. They fully realize how
unfortunate It would be If the plan which will
permanently fix the conditions of the Gardens
development should prove to be defective after
II was too late to change 1t. That would be a
,under which they must be resolved to avoid.
I'd, happily. the Park Board is so constituted
alto assure ii cooperation with the trustees In
thl and every other wise measure OF precau-
tion. Nobody. 80 far as we are aware has con
denny or even cast suspicion upon the plan
now uher consideration. 1t has been generally
admittetthat 1t ought not to be hastily adopted.
and somtof those especially interested IN the
matter haN urged that the judgment Of recog-
nzed exper, ought to be solicited before an
irrevocable s'p Is taken. That is sound advice
beyond doub To proceed without such con
Armation would e directly contrary to the spirit
which has characterized this excellent enterprise
thus far. and migt be seriously prejudcial to
its success.
