DISASTROUS FIRE.
The HfAding Factory, owned by Llde.
Russell 4 Dickinson, Burned
10 The Ground.

Fire broke out III one of the dry
kilns of the heading factory of Lide,
Russell y Dickinson about 3 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, and in short time
the entire plant was destroyed. The
loss will probably reach $500, and
an insurance of 81, roo, only, was cover
ed by the company.
The scene of the fire was so far out
and the fire company had such long
run, that it was only able to save a
small portion of the stock. 81 900 of
the insurance was on the plant and
800 on the stock.
1t is not yet decided whether the
company will rebuild or not.
1t was one of the best industies of the
town, and it's destruction will throw a
number of men out Of employment.
Great excitement prevailed, and two
rather serious accidents occurred.
While running to the fire, Sam Mum
power, who was helping to pull the
rose real, fell, and it ran over him, in
ficting dangerous wounds. The acct
dent occurred at Jobe and Division
streets. The young man fell face down
ward, and before he could rise the wheel
of the cart struck him, mounting the
right hip, it passed diagonally across
his body and came off at his left
shoulder.
It happened that DR.. Z. S. Miller
was near the accident at the time it oc-
Cured and rendered medical aid He
was soon removed to his fathers home
and it is thought that he will recover.
Garner Range fell from exhaustion
and would have burned up on one of
the roofs if he had not been removed.
He had over done his heart in the race
to the fire and while helping to extin-
guish the flames, some one accidently
struck him in the forehead with asmall
piece OF heading. he fell instantly as
one dead and was revived with difficult
ty. The like does not amount to any
thing, but this race with weak heart
and lungs put him in bed for awhile.
The water main at the fire, furnished
free by the water company to accom-
modate the factories, was only A inches,
and could not furnish sufficient water
to accomplish much, but considerable
was saved, considering the rapidity
with which the plant burned. 1t went
like so much finder
The dryer contained several car loads
just ready to take out, and it is sup
posed that the fire was of spontaneous
! origin.

 For the first time for years, the local office is importing coin to pay money orders. It has before been that large amount of the city's shopping was done by mail back east. This seems to have almost entirely stopped and if such money is sent abroad it is by bank check or draft. For the last two months the local office has drawn $6,000 on the New York office to pay the evcess of incoming money orders.

 A terse and clever characterization was that by which Beranger, the poet, summed up Victor Hugo's relation to the great republican spirit of France Hugo, although it is said that he was not a arepublican at the very beginning of his career. became most enthusiastic and outspollen one. He represented the pie torial. dramatic side of popular feeling and became so picturesque a figure in French politics that he could not have failed to serve as popular idol.
 Beranger, who was e republican of the simplest type, notwithstanding his share in establishing Louis Philippe on the throne, denied the poets attitude in one line.
 One day, says the Contemporary Re view, shortly after the revolution which overtoppled that throne. an acquaint- ance of Beranger met him coming out of the Palais-Rotn q shall feel obliged said the poet, If you will see me home, for l do not feel at all well.

 But when the lee, dropping close to the water, gave notice by the change of its tune that it was about to sip, the; chief, with a snort, spirited the water from his mouth over the little ...buzzer.e Before it had time to recover from the unexpected douche. he seized it dex- teriously by the wings.
 Then he prepared it for the chase by fastening to it bunch of wild cotton with some gum. The bee was let go; it made for it's hive. slowly at first on ac- count of it's novel burden, which im- peded it's progress and showed sign in the air for the chief to follow. Over hramble and brake went the chief, ac- conpanied by the men of his tribe, and in half an hour halted at the foot of an immense gum tree, into whose top the bee had gone.
 The chief mounted quickly, by cutting notches into the bark with his stone tomahawll. In a short time he brought down quantity of honeycomb, small piece only of which contained honey. The Australian bees are st;ngless.

YUMA PRISON ON FIRE The Penitentiary Placed
 in Danger. Heroic Work of Officers and
 ConviCtS.
No Fire Apparatus Was at Hand The Money Damage Is
 Small.

YUMA, Ariz., June 16.-(Special Dis patch to The Republican.)-Quite a disastrous fire broke out at o'clock this afternoon at the territorial prison, caused by defective flue.
 The fire commenced in the rear building, constructed by Thomas Gates, the late superintendent, for the engine and dynamos of the new electric light plant and also for the wash room, bath rooms, shoe shop and tailor shop.
 When the fire was first noticed it was under full headway, having start ed between the ceiling and roof, and nothing could then have saved the building. This building was in the east side of the prison yard, next to the stone cells.
 One end of the building adjoined an other large building, built of wood, and to save this building Superintend- ent Nugent directed all his attention and by most heroic work and intelli- gent work the rest of the buildings were saved. Great credit is due to the coolness of MT. Nugent and to his good judgment in directing the work of tihe r0nvictS and guards The guards and also the convicts deserve great praise also for their work No regular firemen could have done better with the appliances at hand than they.
 For all the great amount of prop erty at the prison, costing over $250,- GOO, there is absolutely no protection from fire
 The actual money loss to the terri tory by the fire is about s2,5O0.

FAiTHFULNESS OF A DOG.
Saved the Life of Seriously Wounded
 Officer.

Saved the Life of 8 Seriously Wounded
 Officer.
 Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, in her story of ''The Guard" a body of young men who followed "The Pathfinder" into the civil war and made brilliant record for their courage and gallantry, tells pathetic story of dumb beast who also was loyal and courageous:
 While the guard-a body of cavalry was drilling one day near St. Louis, a little fox-terrier followed one of the men, Herr Visa, Hungarian officer, going with him to camp. He could not be driven away.
 The men all made pet of him, and named him "the corporal;" but though he was affable to them all, he made the Hungarian soldier his companion and friend, sleeping at his feet at night, and following him by day.
 When the guard made their memor- able charge at Springfield, Mo-, the Corporal charged with them, keeping beside his masters horse throughout the battle. Herr Visa was wounded, and fell, apparently dead, in thicket. The corps swept past, his horse fled, wild with terror, but the little Corporal nestled close beside him, licking his face and trying to rouse him.
 There the dog remained through the bitter cold night. When morning came he ran to the distant road, and by his frantic barks and cries induced pass er-by to enter the thicket.
 The man, seeing only a cold, stiff body, supposed the soldier to be dead, and would have hurried on; but the Corporal furiously drove him back, and would not be silenced until he saw his master move and speak, when he crouched, dumb and contented, at his | feet.

TREES AND MORALITY.
The Park System as Related to the Higher
 City Life.

City Life.
 The city of the future will not be treeless and shadeless. When a city has practically all outdoors to lay it's new streets on, these should be wide enough to allow row or more of trees in the middle, with green grass and com fortable seats, with open spaces where roots can find air and receive water, says Dr. Rothrock, the forestry com missioner. When we come to city trees as related to city morals, we open q wide subject. We have denounced the saloon none too hard, but just here let us halt moment. Are all those who frequent the saloon so inherently bad and besotted that they go there be- cause they prefer it to anything else 1t is possible to offer them? do not be- lieve it. If man has no other resting heated, untidy home on the one hand, or an open, more comfortable saloon on the other hand, is it strange he takes the latter? I do not justify the ten dency. But do suggest that more open air parks in your cities would save many a man and woman who is not al ready depraved. Those who bring about betterment of tenement-houses and those who secure small parks within desert of brick walls deserve and will receive the gratitude of their fellow men. Don't put a premium on vice ant intemperance by any lack of public comfort. A distinguished philoso | pher once said that "a nature whicl had lost it's fondness for the woods ha. l lost it's manhcod."
