other proportion whatever of silver as
a reserve against the circulation of the

should not be imperilled and the whole
financial system of the country excited
by such vagaries."

DISASTROUS
FIRE IN OHIO.
An Entire Block al Bainhridge Re-
duced to Ashes,
Including Many Business Houses and Hand
some Residences.
An Explosion Occurs in a Drug
store During the Confagration,
Resulting in the Loss of Two
Lives and the Serious Injury Of
Several People.

CHILLICOTHE (O), Sept. 23.-The
village of cambridge was the scene
of one of the most disastrous conf1agra-
tions this afternoon that ever occurred
in this county. An entire square, con-
tanning most of the prominent business
houses, several handsome residences
and the Methodist Church, We're entire
ly destroyed, and two prominent busi-
ness men lost their lives in an explo-
sion which occurred in the drug store
of w. P. Beardsley.
The fire was started in a barn in the
rear Of PerriII Browns general store
by two little boys who were playing
with lighted matches. Beardsley's- drug
store adjoining was next ablaze. and
with the limited means at hand for
fighting fire it passed all bounds and
became uncomfortable.
In the midst of the excitement a ter
rfble explosion occurred in the drug
store. and Mr.. BeardsIey, who was in
side endeavoring to save some of his
property, lost his life in the ruins. His
brother-in-law, Thomas Higgins, who
went to his rescue, was unable to get
out, and was burned to death, while
several others were more or less in
Jured, but none fatally.
Getting a fresh start from the burn
ing oils and chemicals in the wrecked
drug store, the fire leaped from house
to house, until it was evident that the
entire town was doomed. The best
that could be done was to prevent the
fire from being communicated to the
other squares.
The estimated loss is $50, 1000.
The list of injured includes Homer
Huling, broken hip, and Albert Frey,
internal injuries, received by falling
from building.
