struction OF S15O.OOO worth Of property in tho
very heart OF the town. The structures de-
stroyed include the Agate block. eight other
buildings in Union avenue. a grain storage ee-
vator and number of barns.

lty. and was able to escape from his own home
with only such clothing as he could hastily
put on.

There was not a sufficient pressure OF water.
The burning structure was within thirty yards
OF the City Hall. in which the fire companies
have their headquarters. and the fire.

Dinner Mt the Club.

The snbordinates Of Richard Croker in the
management Of the Tammany Hall organi2a-
ton are planning to give a dinner and recep-
ton in his honor on his return from England.
in order to show that there is no extensive dis

of managing the party machinery. The friends
Of Mr.. Croker are more concerned than they
will admit over the situation in several Assem-
bly, districts besides the Ninth. in which John
{. Sheehan is fighting Mr. Cookers friends
openly. They do not want the public to get the
idea that the dissatisfaction with Mr.. Croker Is
greater than is usual or expected in political
organization the size OF Tammany Hall. and
they think that by public demonstration they
will he able to prove that he is as strong as
ever in the affections OF the Democrats Of the
county. The reception will be held at, the
Democratic Club soon after Mr. Cookers
arrival in this country as is convenient for
him. 1t is the present intention to have
sreeches by well known Tammany men and a
