Burning Autocar Works.

PARIS, July PA fire occurred to-day
in the autocar and ordinary carriage works
in this county and before the flames were
eXtinguished twenty autocars and fifty or
binary carriages were destroyed besides all
the cooperative workmens tools, causing
a loss of 100000 francs. Two men, one of
them an employee of the works, have been
arrested on suspicion of having set fire to
the works. They declare, however, that the
fire was due to an accident and their state
ment is probably true, as they gave the
alarm as soon as the flames were discoV-
cred. There is no reason to believe that
the Paris cabmen are responsible for, or in
any way connected with the fire.

for if the rose of Jericho is twisted and
contracts it's branches, if the turtle dove
COOS softly, if the bats fly about in great
numbers, if the ravens or crows croak in
the morning if the gnats swarm together
toward sunset and form swirling columns
if gossamer threads stretch across the
fields. Rain may be expected if the mari
gold shuts it's petals during the night. if
earth worms come forth in great numbers,
if the fowls of the poultry yard the par
trdges and sparrows sport in the dust, If
ducks and geese fly here and there and
plunge into the water. if sheep and goats
leap about and fight, if the bees stick close
to the hive, and if the swallows fly rapidly
grazing the earth. These observations are
more useful, it is pointed out, to tourists
than to city riders.
