FIRES DEADLY WORK

BARN AND LIVE STOCK OF
THOMAS FAGAN DESTROYED
LAST NIGHT.
Fire last night destroyed the large
barn of Thomas Pagan, beyond Silver
brook, and seven horses, four cows and
several mules were burned. When the
alarm Of fire sounded the district en-
gines responded, but could not go into
service owing to the inadequate water
supply.
The sparks from the burning barn
set fire to the dwelling-house. The
chemical engines of the Water Witch
Company and Weccacoe Company went
into service and did effective work. The
loss will be about $4,000. The buildings
are insured for about one-half the
amount.

CARRIERS LATEST MELoDRAMA

Lincoln J. Carter, who is known as
the author of several successful melo-
dramas, including THE Fast Mail.
'rhe Tornado and "The Heart of
Chicago has scored the biggest kind
Of hit with his new play, Under the
Dome which comes to the Opera
House on Friday evening, February IS.
The action of the play takes the char
acters over broad territory. and gives
opportunity for some startling scenic
effects and some very beautiful sets.
The two big sensations OF the play are
the ferry'boat trip from Jersey City to
New York, and the reproduction of the
awful hurricane at Apia, which proved
so destructive TO the German and
American navies. In addition to these
are three beautiful sets showing famil-
lar Washington scenes, and one Of the
capitol Illuminated The play is said
to be very strong dramatically.

VICTIM OF sTAGE REALISM.

There is a young man in town who
will never take his best girl to the the
atre again. She is too emotional.
Not long since he took her to Phila-
delphia 10 see "The Two Orphans"
played. In one Of the acts the blind
girl goes cropping around the room en-
deayoring to find bunch of keys which
has been hidden The actress who
played the role must have done it in a
wonderfully effective manner. for at
the most critical juncture this young
girl, who resides on Harrison street,
jumped up and exclaimed:
1.-The keys are underneath the bed. "
When too late she realized what a
spectacle she had made of herself. and
how humlliating she had made the po-
sitiOn of her escort.

MIR. CAMPBELLs RESOLUTIONS.

MIX. CAMPBELL > hEoOi4o iOINo.
Most persons date their good resolu-
tiOns from New Years Day, but Il is
not so with Fireman John +. Campbell,
Of the County Court House. His pa
tron saint is Che ground hOg,and when
ever he makes a good resolution it
goes into effect or expires on Ground
Hog Day, regardless Of lights and
shadows.
Last Ground Hog Day he resolved to
deprive himself of three things during
the ensuing year. The first was TO
keep a meek and lowiy spirit under
any and all provOcation. The second
was not to read the Sun under any
consideration, and the third was not TO
cut any more hay on the Court House
terrace unless Janitor Scott pulled the
moving machine for him.
Mr.. Campbell is man of determined
spirit and to his mind an obligation
assumed on Ground Hog Day is most
binding in It's character.

A RAILROAD RACE.

Next Monday evening an interest ing railroad race will take place, the starting point to be Chicago and the end Omaha. The government mail contract will be let to the company making tho fastest time between the two points. The Burlington and the Northwestern railroads will compete for the prize. The Burlington has held the contract for fourteen years, and as 1t will be particularly valuable during the next year and thereafter, it docs net propose to relinquish the prize without struggle. For seven days the flyers of both roads will whisk over their tracks between Chicago and Omaha, attempting to cover the dis tance of 492 miles in ten hours and fif- teen minutes. With tracks kept open and no stops the record is nine hours and thirty minutes. Hence the.time in view is very fast even for a fast mail train. The general opinion is that the Burlington will get the contract It holds the worlds record for fast long distance time, and railroad Tnen think it will have no particular dunculty in vanquishing it's opponent But think of the government, that creature of red tape, winking at an exhibition of this kindY

ANOTHER OLD SUPERSTITION.
Many Stories Prove Rats Will Leave al
 UnseawCrthy Vessel.

The cid superstition which has grown into an adage, that rats desert ship which is no longer seaworthy is still an article of faith with the fresh wafer sailors of the great lakes. Sundry well-authenicated instances seem to justify this belief. The Vernon was three-master which did 3, tramp busi- ness. Built in Buffalo in 1850 she was for many years regarded as enc Of the best craft on the lakes. Late in the fall, about fifteen years age. she un- loaded a cargo Of grain in Buffalo and reloaded with packet freight fer Chi cago. She was about to sail one rough November night.
 Just before the lines were let off one cf the seamen saw a rat run ever tce hawsers to the wharf. In moment another was seen. The seamen called others of the crew to see the unusual sight. Between fifty and seventy-fve rats poured out of the ship and took refuge along the wharf. The crew re- fused to sail, but the captain was obsti- nate, shipped a fresh crew and sailed forthwith The ship w9s lost with all hands.

The placing of an order. fer twonty freight locomtives with twp we'll known American firms by the great Midland railway, of England, one of the biggest railway corporations in the world, comes as a capstone to the achievements Of American manufactur- CTS during 1898.
