Big Fire Near Concord

Ths mammo'h creameries Of the Sharp.
less Creamery Works near Concord Stat
ion were destroyed by fire early yesterday
morning. The loss Is placed at t35. 900.
The origin Of the fire Is believed to be
incendairy.
One of tho empolyas Of the works. o
colored man, was returning to his quart.
ers. which arO in an adjacent building, at
IL ID o'clock, whom he noticed flames ris-
ing from the windows Of the third story Of
the main structure. He gave the alarm
and efforts were made TO save the con
tents Of the building, but by the time
the desks, chairs. and othOr Offices
furniture had been removed tho flames
had gained such Roadway that " was
necessary to vacate tina place.
The fire continued burning fiercely for
hours aud until nearly noon yesterday
parts OF the building continued to snoul-
der and occasionally burst into flames.
The fire was such large one as to attract
people for miles around. In consequence
several hundred persons Yesterday visited
the scene and viewed the ruins OF the
largest rnd most complete industries Of
the kind In this part Of the country.
The creamery WAS iooatsd on the Com
cord Road. 5stwson Concord station and
Chelsea, about ono half mile from the
former place. Here were employed up
ward Of fifty people. The place had a
capacity Vt from fourteen to fifteen thous-
and pounds OF butter weekly This works
was under the name OF the Sharpless
Creamery Company the two members OF
the firm being p ". Shorpless and Il. B.
Quinn. both well known throughout tho
country The value OF the entire plant
was estimated to amount to nearly one
hundred thousand dollars.
Besides the large three-story building
being destroyed. there was also the con.
tents, which loss amounted to several
thousand dollars. Also four thousand
pounds of butter. Amongst the contents
OF the building were several hundred fir
kins and butter tubs threo cburns. of two
hundred and fifty pounds capacity, one
stoam and two gas engines to operate the
churns, many hundred feet of pipe and
betting and many other implements
of butter making.
The loss is estimated at from thirty to
thirty five thousand dollars.
That the fire was the work OF an incen-
diary Is the belief of those In charge, q.
there was no fire whatever in the build
ing, tho fires in tho engine room having
been extinguisbed at three o'clock on Sat
urday afternoon.
Daily from sixty to seventy milkmen go
to tho creamery with their milk amount
ing to many thousands Of gallons The
company has branch works at Fairville
and the milk will be sent there for some
time. 1t has been asserted on good
authority that the works will be rebuilt,
at once, but will be n two-stUry building
covering about twice the area that the
former building did.

it is asserted that they would show an

OF these figures and what this trade
means to Germany this paper says:
1t accordingly appears that in two years
our export to the United States has nearly
doubled and Is now very important. The
SIS lE.01 are 770W.ODO marks in three
months or Bon. 900, 900 marks ti3,3Oi 00OI in d
year. This is only for northern Germany
and the figures from the consuates general
at Dresden and Frankfort are still to be
added, These will bring the total up to
500 GG).00O marks (sli2s 000). How many
thousands Of Germans now dependent upon
this trade for their support would be with
out broad II 1t were to suddenly stop! In
this trade Germany has surpassed all ma
tons except England. whose lnsular posi-
tion, richness in coal and iron, and free
trade policy give it an advantage which
cannot easily be overcome.
In referring to he possible effect up
on the German sugar industry should
the United States attempt rcpriaaIs in
that direction this paper says that Ger
many has supplied to America in one
S24, 100000, and that this vast trade can
be continued If peace and friendship is
maintained between the tWo countries.
But" it continues, 'if we force the
Americans into retaliation. as our agrari-
mus wish TO do with the meat-inspection
law, and thus render impossible the expor-
tation Of our sugar to the United States,
we VIII have no other purchaser for this
enormous mass Of sugar The prices will
then sink to the cost Of production. and
perhaps even lower. As a consequence,
many sugar factories and the farmers de-
pendent thereon win become bankrupt, and
prosperous German agricultural industry
Will be destroyed"
The object of the agrarians in for
cling the passage of this law is de-
scribed at some length, On this sub
sect this paper says:
EVERY form Of foreign competition Is an
abomination TO our farmers, and Ameri.
can competition Is the greatest. They
would like to entirely forbid the importa

from America is entirely forbidden for the
alleged purpose Of preventing the introduc.
ton of cattle Diseases American cattle are
however. being constantly imported into
England without bringing disease with
them. For awhile even the importation OF
meat was forbidden. as It was said to con.
tain trichinae and other dangers. Now the
agrarians are working in an indirect way;
they demand two veterinary examinations
of every animal, one before and one after
1t is killed. Our veterinary surgeons can
not, however, examine the American cat
tie before they are slaughtered. and. as a
foreign country must not be better treated
than home producers, American meat can
be forbidden entry into Germany-a sly
plan, upon which strange light is thrown
by the fact that the farming gentlemen
wish to have the law applied, not TO them
selves but to the wicked towns. When
they butcher animals for use In their own
households. the law provides that these
veterinary inspections may be omitted"
Germany has bought but small part
of American meat exports for several
years. Previous legislation has made

laws that much of the effort that might

THE debate upon and passage Of
the meat bill by Germany has
been watched with interest by
opposing parties in almost every coun-
try of Europe. h, England in France,
in Austria and in practically all of the
European countries that are buying Of
American agricultural products there
is an element that is hoping for the
day to come when they can successful
ly shut off American competition by
the passage of just such bill as Ger
many has adopted. That there is but
little fear of such thing happeningis
true. The interests that would sup
port such measure are much larger
in Germany than in any other Euro
pean state, and in Germany they would
not have been large enough to have ac-
complished its purpose, even in an
amended form, had it not been for the
exchange of votes which were needed
by the government for the passage of
the naval bill.
There was strong opposition to the
passage of the meat bill in Germany
