FIRE AT PARDEE HALL.
Embers from the Last COnfagration
Start Another Blaze.

Easton, Pa, Jan. 16.-Pardee hall,
which was nearly destroyed by fire a
month ago. was the scene of another
fire tonight, and was in that part of
the burned west wing in which had
been the books of the Ward library.
The flames were discovered about $50
o'clock and had nearly reached the Sec
ond story of the ruins. An alarm was
turned in and the glare attracted thou
sands of persons to the hill. The flames
were soon extinguished and the loss is
not large.
1t is believed that the fire was due
TO embers that We're smoulderng in the
basement from the last fire.

likely to be taken by this govern
ment in regard to to the recent de-
cree of Germany in excluding all
American fruits from her markets.
This wholesale and unjust ex
clusion is made on the flimsy pre-
text that American fruit introduces
into Germany certain vermin and
pests injurious to the fruit interests
OF that country. That Germany
has perfect right to establish such
regulations as will protect her
