AN EARLY BLAZE.
a Fire In the Pennington & Williams
Building Attracts the Crowd
and the Fire Engine.

\ fire, having its origin in
the cOmposing-roOm of the
Chronicle office, was the sensa-
tion this morning, and was first
discovered about Gas o'clock.
Fire had been built ia the stove
preparatory TO the days work.
The stove was in close proximi-
ty to a type-stand, and it is be-
lieved that this started the
blaze.
Several buckets of water
promptly arrested the flames,
which were fast gaining head
way and had just caught in the
ceiling when the fire engine got
iii its work. A bountiful stream
soon flooded the entire build
ing.
The loss to the Chronicle,
while not great i'll appearance,
may amount to great deal
when the total extent of the
damage is ascertained. The
presses were uninjured, and
cur contemporary will not nee
essarily lose one single issue.
Mr.. Williams had insurance
with T. j. Cornelius in the
Phenix for S725, which will
cover all loss.
The tailoring establishment
of W. 5. Duncan & Co., on the
same floor, would have escaped
without damage if left unmo-
Tested, but by reckless hand
ling and the throwing of water
considerable loss to stock was
sustained, which is covered by
$500 insurance with L. j. Cor
nelius in the German American.
The other offices on that floor
escaped injury.
The firm of W. A. Harris &.
Co., on the ground floor, had
stock slightly damaged 10y wa

slight.

a NEGRO KILLED.
Old Man Stevenson shot b. Joe Love
az Eik-The Murderer Cap
tured by Citizens.

The meagre information which
reached here yesterday after
noon that Il negro had been
killed near Elk, proves 10 be
correct. According to the lat
est information obtainable the
murdered man is Ben Steven
son, Il negro some 10 years of
age, and the murderer Is Joe
Love, a young negro of the
same locality. Stevenson's team
and wagon standing in the little
town OF Elk with only hat in 1t.
through which was n bullet hole
and on which were some blood
stains, first attracted attention.
\ bystander quickly remarked
that Joe Love had been at
work, having borrowed a pistol
the day previous, the better to
protect some cribs of corn,
which it was thought Ben Stew
enson was wont TO visit. \
consultation was held, during
which Love came to town, he
was promptly siezed by the
citizens of the place and bound
in chains and an officer sent
for.
Deputy George Henry Bruce
being in that ncighborhood serv-
ing civil process, heard of the
affair and at once repaired TO
the scene, reaching there at 10
o'clock last night. 4 careful
investigation followed and Mr..
Bruce secured the pistol, a lit
tie -, which he vainly tried to
kill his victim with. The bul-
lets had very little effect on the
man and the murderer proceed
ed to beat h Is victim so vio-
lently with it as to break the
handle, not satisfied yet, the
fiend cut the unfortunate mans
throat from ear to ear, and then
with rails belabored the head of
the PROSTATE being into n pulp.
Love claims that two others are
guilty of the crime and that he
Is only n witness TO it.
Mr.. Bruce says the evidence
against Love in the Elk neigh
borhood is very great. He is
looked upon as a vicious aud
unscrupulous negro, is - years
of age and formerly lived at
Tishomingo. He is now in Jail
here awaiting the return of
Judge Walcott when he will he
given a hearing.

Food supply of Nations.

One of the advantages which this
country enjoys over most OF its neigh
bors lies in the fact that no power on
earth can cut off our supply of pro-
visions. If it be true that a man can
fight as long as he has something to
eat, we could continue conflict for an
indefinite period. The human stomach,
in the last analysis, is the most impor-
tant element of warfare. Stomach full,
courage up to high-water mark; stom-
ach empty, courage oozes out at the I'm
gers tips. Russia perhaps will COM
pare favorably with us in this respect,
but none of the other great powers.
The Siberian wheat belt is quite able to
meet all possible demands on it, and the
new railway which runs through 1t
like a spinal column would furnish the
necessary transportation. AS to the
rest of the world, hardly nation can
supply it's own needs. 1t looks to it's
neighbors even in ordinary times and
in time of war it would be in straits
unless measures were taken to keep the
back door open for the importation OF
what the commissariat calls for. Oddly
enough it is the mouth-which. is some
times apt to talk too much-that lnau-
purates a war, and after it has been be-
gun the mouths of the troops must be
filed or the order will soon be given
to stack arms and go on hunt for
rovender.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

MOTOR VEHICLES.
Their Extensive Use Now Confidently
Looked Forward To.

Their Extensive Use Now Confidently
Looked Forward To.
Motor vehicles (''automotives" is the
name recommended for them) have be-
gun to be made for serious reflection in
England. Maj. Flood Page, who lee
tured about them before the London
chamber of commerce, speculated as to
the results of their introduction, and
named as among the industries that
would be affected petroleum, Sec
ondary battery manufacturers, me-
chanical engineers, and allied trades;
coach, car. wagon and carriage build
ers, and allied trades; agriculture in
many branches, railway companies, and,
last but by no means least, the war de-
partment of every country in the
world" He expects them as they grow
common to interfere more or less with
trades connected with omnibuses, cabs,
and horses, but to provide work for
more men than they displace, just as
railways did when they drove out
coaches. He believes that in the country
districts of England they will do what
canals have done in Holland, and make
communication so easy that the rush
of perishable produce to market will be
greatly quickened and increased. They
will change the whole face of war, he
thinks, and be used to move guns and do
all transport work.
In Paris automotives are in use; in
London they are in sight; in New York
they are still only in prospect. An auto
motive fire truck, to be run by COM
pressed air gas engine, has been de-
vised by Brooklyn man, and has come
so near real existence as to have its
picture in the newspapers. 1t is ter
rifc-looking creation, and as an engine
of destruction seems fit to make cable
car on a curve seem like child's toy.

JAPAN'S INDUSTRIES.
Wonderful Development. In the
Production of Textiles.
The High Prices of English Goods Set
the Japanese to Thinking. Which Was
Productive of Remarkable
Results.

In no line of industry has the revolu-
ton been more remarkable than in
textiles. The opening of japan to the
world corresponded in time to the high
est development in the west of me-
chanical principles and motive power.
The thousands of bright young men
from the once hermit country who
visited our factories dscerned at once
their opportunity. A cotton-spinning
machine seemed to them almost
human. Realizing their own tremen-
dous resources in the form of cheap la
Dor, they saw that if union were eff
fected between that and the new won
ders of the west they could, because of
their very nearness to the largest cot
ton plaptations of the world, begin at
once to drive out British imports. They
were somewhat tired of paying for
high-priced cotton goods made in Man
chester. The costly British freight and
packing would be saved, and the abom-
Unable adulteration by means of ''siz-
ing" would be avoided.
So about 1880 the experiment of SUBJ
stituting steam for human muscle was
tried. In 1882 they had only 1,50O spin
dies running, including those controlled
by the government, and the total pro-
duction of the cotton yarn for the year
was but 10000 pounds. Within one
decade the product increased to over
S0,O00,000 pounds. English goods were
driven from the market of Japan.
Then the Japanese began to look
abroad and dream of capturing the mar
kets of Asia. In 1894 they had 40 mills,
operating % hours out of the "a daily
during 292 days of the year and turn
ing out 122,oo0,Oo0 pounds of yarn.
With their hereditary taste and skill
the cotton yarn has been made up into
fabrics as delicate, beautiful and en-
during as one could wish for the won
derfully low prices at which they are
sold. They are in general free from
the sizing for which English goods have
a bad reputation. They have won their
way in Corea, in China, in Siam aid
even in India and Australia. AS for the
silk fabrics, they are already being Of
fered in America and Europe at prices
that surprise and alarm manufacturers
and merchants.
This wonderful development in the
textile industry has actually made the
United States, once the largest buyer
and the smallest seller in Japan, the
chief trader with this new Industrial
power in the orient. Whereas the
United States used formerly to import
only little kerosene, -four and ma
chinery, our people sold to Japan dur
ing the first six months of 1895 over
1co.0O0,O0O pounds of raw cotton. The
sale of American iron is also steadily
increasing.-William Elliot Griff1s, D.
D., in Chautauquan.

A TRUE BEAR STORY.
ARA Dx1ia Disciplines Her Young Cul

ASA Ds1ia Disciplinss HeR Young Cubs
for Disobsdienes.
Speaking of law and the enforcement
of discipline in Yellowstone Park,
heard the story of a bear there, which
consider exceedingly important not only
Is a comment on the discipline of the
park. but as a moral lesson toparents in
domestic obedience. The story is lit
erelly true, and If it were not 1 should
not repeat it, for it would have no value.
Mr.. Kipling says 1.-THE law of the jun
gle is-Obey." This also seems to be the
law of Yellowstone Park. There is a
lunch station at the Upper basin, near
Old Faithful, kept by very intelligent
and ingenious man. He got acquainted
last year with abe bear, who used to
come to his house every day and walk
into the kitchen for food for herself
and her two cubs. The cubs never came.
The keeper got on very intimate terms
with the bear, who was always civil and
well-behaved, and would take food from
his hand without taking the hand).
One day towards sunset the bear came
to the kitchen, and having received her
portion, she went out Of the back door
to carry it to her cubs. To her surprise
and anger. the cubs were there waiting
for her. She laid down the food, and
rushed at her infants and gave them
rousing spanking. "She did not cuff
them; she spanked them," and then
she drove them back into the woods,
cutting them and knocking them at
every step. When she reached the spot
where she had told them to wait, she
left them there and returned to the
house. And there she staid in the
kitchen for two whole hours, making the
disobedient children wait for their
food, simply to discipline them and
teach them obedience. The explanation
is very natural. When the bear leaves
her young in particular place and goes
in search OF food for them. it they stray
away in her absence she has great diff

An Aged Goldfish.

The goldfish is not as tender an AMI
NAL as is imagined, for in handling and
moving them from one pond to anouher
they are dipped up in nets and carried
about in baskets, much like corn or po-
tatoes. Sometimes they are out OF the
water go minutes, and seldom is it thai
they are injured. How long they will
live depends altogether on their treat
ment. In the government aquarium ut
Washington is goldfish that is known
to be so years of age, ard it is not per-
ceptibly larger than when first placed
there, There is said to be in the. Royal
