I. schil ling 8 Homo Burned
Night

The large residence Of Ludwig
schilling, located on Eighth street
q o1lrltheast, was totally destroyed 81
tire last Friday evening, with about
all the household good of Mr.. Schill,
ing and Of Rev. Reuter-, who occupied
the upper story. The fire started a
little before s o'clock. Its thought
to have originated from the kitchen
range, which was near a board
partition. The flames first appeared
IN. the PARTITION. The chemical COM
panies alone turned out, as the build
ing was so far from the water mains
that the hose carts would have been
useless. Unfortunately the chemical
engine of Chemical Co. No. 2 was
'frozen, which delayed matters until
the city hall machine arrived.
Through the work Of the firemen and
citizens the fire was keptfrom spread
ing southwark, although it was
quite windy. =..5=.y t.s..-
The burned structure was built by
I. E. Staples four years ago to take
the place of his residence on the same
site, which was also destroyed by fire.
Mr.. Schilling had $4,000 insurance on
the building: $500 in the Scottish
National Co.. and $500 in the Ger
man Insurance Co. OF New 7 ork-both
of the First National bank agency.
Mr.. Shil]ing's household goods were
insured for $500 in the American
Fire Insurance Co., also in the First
National agency. His loss atove in
surance will be- considerable. Rev.
Renter had just bought n fine new
piano which was burned with the
other goods. His insurance is. $500
on household goods, with one of W.
W. Hartmon's companies.

many has only one cavalry division
of the guards in peace time The Ger
mans, however, appear TO be giving
up the employment of large masses
of cavalry. Except the two cavalry di-
visions of the guards, which still have
Cuirassiers, Uhlans and Hussars, the
Russian cavalry consists almost entire
~ of Cossacks and dragons, who re-
ceive an excellent training as infantry
as we'll. Some of them have even been
supplied with bayonets as an expert
ment. The Russian frontier guard of
10000 men include 10000 horse soldiers
Both men and horses are excellent and
admirably trained. On the other hand
it is noted that the Cossacks and
some of the other cavalry regiments
can only ride at a quick trot, which
would entail heavy losses in long dis
lance attacks on modern artillery and
infantry.

NEVIS FOR THE SPANIARDS.

The Spaniards are getting some
great news concerning the state of af-
fairs in this country. 1t will encourage
them until they find out that it is ''yel-
low" Here are some of the items
dealt out to them in Madrid news
papers:
its waiting policy is due to timidity.
It's fleet hovers around the shores Of
Cuba and moves UP and down the
American coast, doing no greater dam
age than here and there the capture of
a defenceless merchantmen. The rea-
son for this is that the American gov
eminent is not prepared to fight. 1t
was not thought that Spain would Of
fer any real resistance. The press of
this republic has misled the populace
as to the power, resources and military
virtues of the Spanish people.
The only powder mill on the Ameri-
can continent capable Of producing
smokeless powder has been destroyed
Thus the Americans have no way of
reloading their heavy ordnance, as
black or brown powder cannot be used
effectively.
Then the States which were counted
on to furnish the men for the war
find themselves handicapped by threat
ened Indian uprisings. The regular ar
my has been Withdrawn and the saw
ages have already taken the warpath.
In the States of Ohio, Illinois and Iowa,
the citizens have been called out to
protect their western frontiers from
the raids of the wild men.
In the District of Columbia the mill
tia guard has refused to serve. The
guard was ordered out by the presi-
dent, and when it discovered that it
was to go into camp and drill for war
purposes it disobeyed the officers and
returned to the capitol.

DOUBLE STACK LOCOMOTIVES.

Double stacks for locomotives have
latterly again become prominent. Both
in Great Britain and in the United
States experiments have been made
with them for the past year or twO--on
the London and Northwestern Railway,
| under the supervision of Mr.. f. w.
| Webb, the well known chief mechani-
cal superintendent of that line, and on
the Toledo, Peoria and Western, and
| the st. Louis, Chicago and St. Paul
Railways--and the results, generally
| appear to have been favorable to their
| use. On the London and Northwest
ern Road the stack, In outward APP
pearance, looks like an ordinary one,
fattened at the sides, the larger axis
running in the direction Of the length
| Of the boiler; but there are two OPEN
| ings for the exhaust, one for each
| opening in the stack The smoke-box
| is divided into two separate chambers
by a horizontal plate, and one of the
| stacks passes down through this par
| tition into the bottom chamber, SO as
| to bring its influence to bear on the
| lower tubes, while the exhaust through
! the other stack in intended to produce
a pull through the upper tubes. In the
| American engines there is no partition
in the smoke-box, and the stack is
placed with its larger axis running
crosswise of the boiler, the special OBJ
| ject aimed at in this case being an
equal distribution Of draught between
the center and the outer flues instead
of between the top and bottom ones.
| Judged off hand alone, both devices
commend themselves favorably, the
| British one, perhaps, more SO than the
American one because Of it's partition
feature, which would seem to insure
greater certainty of the equalization
desired, and the test figures thus far
available show very acceptable per-
centage of coal-saving over the usual
| single-stack arrangement 1T is not
unlikely therefore, that more will be
seen and heard Of the new practice
