LUMBER YARD FIRE.

Damaging Conflaeration in Boston,
Albany Street District.
Boston, Dec. 10.-The Albany street dis
trict, section much dreaded by Boston
firemen was the scene of disastrous fire
today that originated in the lumber yard
of Andrew f. Leatherbee, and before 1t
was gotten under control had caused
damage of nearly $4,000. 1t is generally
believed the fire originated in the dry
house The lower part of the yard was
perfect sea of flames and the heat there
from was so intense that the fire boat,
playing from its position off the wharf,
was badly scorched.
The fire spread to the adjoining lumber
yard of Blacker & Shepard, where 1t
caused a loss estimated at $4,000 to $4,000.
-Four dwelling houses in close proximity
to the Leatherbee yard also caught fire
and were partially destroyed.

The very latest thing which has been

played a game of billiards whilst

the stakes were $500 a side. and the

to rest his machine against anything
whilst making his stroke.
The largest bicycle ever built was the

View Of General H. G. Otis of the situa-
tion in the Philippines.
: CHICAGO, July 3.-General Harrison
Gray Otis of Los Angeles, Cal, who
was with the Eighth army corps at
Manila, and who saw nearly a years
fighting around that city, has arrived in
Chicago en- route for Washington.
He stopped at the Palmer House and
will remain in the city until evening,
before proceeding eastward. His visit
to Washington will mark his muster
out of the volunteer service.
General Otis discussed the situation
in the Philippines at considerable length
and took the hopeful view that with
the additional troops to be furnished
the war would be- terminated before the
next rainy season sets in. ~,
with $4,000 troops all told-say go
900 for the fighting columns and 20, 900
for garrison duty" he said, ''Major
General Otis can suppress the revolt
before the next rainy season, restore
peace, establish order, protect all we'll
meaning natives of Luzon in their rights
of person and property, and establish
and maintain simple, economical, just
and effective government over the isl

A GREAT WRESTLER.
His Encounter With the Czs and
His Ignoble Reward.

His Encounter With the Czss and
His Ignob1e Reward.
One Of the stories of Peter the Great
which are current at the court Of ST..
Petersburg is Of the great cars wres-
thing match with a young dragoon.
Once In the imperial palace-so the
story goes-Peter was at table with
great many princes and noblemen,
and soldiers were posted within the
hall. The car was ina joyous mood,
and, rising, called out to the company:
Listen, princes and boyars! Is there
among you one who will wrestle with
the CARP There was no reply, and the
car repeated the challenge.
No prince or nobleman dared to
wrestle with his sovereign. But all at
once a young dragon stepped out
from the ranks of the soldiers on
guard. Listen, Orthodox czar," he
said. II will wrestle with theew
"Well, young dragoon," said Peter, II
will wrestle with thee, but on these
conditions: If thou throwest me, I will
pardon thee; but, II thou art thrown,
: thou shalt be 'beheaded. Wilt thou
wrestle on those conditions?"
II will, great czar," said the soldier.
They closed, and presently the soldier
with his left arm threw the car and
with his right he prevented him from
falling to the ground. The sovereign
was clearly beaten. The car offered
the soldier whatever reward he should
claim, and he ignobly claimed the
privilege Of drinking free, as long as
he lived, in all the inns belonging to
the crown. What became of him his
tory does not say.
