a Terrible Scene.

The greatest FIRE Newark, n. j.,
ever experienced swept through the re-
tail dry goods district Wednesday night,
destroying score or more buildings.
The fire broke out about $50, p. M.
after the several hundred employees had
left the building which was then taken
charge of By number Of sweepers. 1t
it thought that some of the engine
room force and similar employees may
have been in the building. The flames
spread with terrible rapidity, the entire
building being enveloped before the ar
rival of the 6remcn. Only one man was
seen, and he was at a window on the
second floor IN frenzy of fear. The
fremen raised ladder, but before they
could scale it the man swung himself
through the broken window and on to
the ladder. As he reached the ladder s
rush Of fame came through the window
engul6ng him. 1t recededin moment,
and the man was seen on the ladder
wrapped in fire as his clothing burned.
\ fireman ran up the ladder on the un-
der side and grabbed him to prevent
him falling. Then others went up on
the upper side and began tearing the
burning clothing from the man. They
did this with their naked hands and
were themselves burned. Thousands of
people witnessed the thrilling scene
The burning clothing was torn from
the man and with it came portions of
the flesh. The man was taken to a

The War Still On.

a dispatch from Manila says: A
hundred insurgents seven miles from
San Fernando deela Union amoushed
ten men of the Third cavalry who were
escor,ing a provision train. The Amer
leans scattered, and while returning to
camp, one man was killed. The insur-
gents captured four horses and a
quantity of provisions. A subsequent
reconnaissance of the locality devel-
oped the fact that there were ent1ench-
ments there and a force of Filipinos,
estimated to number 800 men. The
Third cavalry is preparing TO drive the
insurgents out. The recently purchased
naval transport Alavs sent to Regay in
the Gulf Of Liberate, for Spanish pri-
soners, has returned here, bringing 500
persons, including priests, officers, SOL
diers and civilians and 10 Americans.
The navy officers being informed that
the prisoners were carelessly guarded,
hurried the Alava to Rsgay, manned
By 20 bluejackets. Six officers from
the Brooklyn and FIVE marines accom-
panied the transport.

ested witnesses, one to be chosen by
the purchaser and one by the seller,

taken from such fertilizers or manures,
which certificate, with the sample,
shall be sealed By third disinterestsd
party in the presence OF said witnesses,
and directed to Clemson Agricultural
and Mechanical college.
Sec 2. The said college shall have
the said sample analy zed free of cost,
and within three mouths after receiV-
ing the sample supply the purchasers

lege, which certificate shall be admis-
sible as evidence in all suits relative to
such fertilizers or manures, whether

Sec g. That any vendor Of CONNER
cial fertilizers or manures whose goods
or wares fall short to the extent of 10
per cent in any fertilizing ingredient
guaranteed hy the analysis on the sack
or vessel holding same, when delivered
10 the purchaser, shall forfeit one. half
the sale price thereof, to be recovered
by suit or set up as counter claim to
an action for the purchase price of
such fertilizers or manure5.
Sec 4. Be it further enacted: That

commercial manures shall refuse, de
cline or neglect to choose witness, as
provided in section /, after having
been notified or requested BY the pur-
chaser SO to do, then he or they shall
have forfeited their right so to do, and
the purchaser shall lselect two witnesses,
who shall select the third witness, who
shall proceed to take samples as herein
before provided. All samples Of fertil.
izers drawn under the provisions of this
act shall be subject to such other rules
as may be prescribed by the board Of
trustees of Clemson college, not incon-
sistent with this act.
Sec. 5 All acis aud parts of acts in-
consistent with this act be, and the
same are hereby, repealed.
