VISITS SIERS' PROPERTY


Since its erection it has been occupied
by D. n. Feltner, who did general
blacksmith business and manufactured
ana repaired wagons and carriages. He
had one of the best equipped factories
in the state, and has just installed quite
nm amount of new and modern maciiin-
cry. Besides, he had number of wagons
there for repair and wagon or so in
course of construction, one of which was
fine one almost finished for the Hor-
nor-Gaylord company. All the contents
were destroyed.
Mr. Siers carried no insurance and his
loss will amount to about $500. the
walls not having been greatly damaged,
or else it would have been total loss.
Mr.. Feltner's loss runs from 81 200 to
81 500. He carried no insurance either.
Mr.. Siers has not yet decided whether
he will rebuild or not.
At the first last year at that point
Mrs. Siers lost two-story frame build
ing and all his blacksmith outfit, amount
ing in the aggregate value to about
5000.

The New York journal contains the
following very encouraging news to those
who are interested in the prospective
brewery here, although it does not bear
directly ON the proposed local enterprise:
"Gottfried Kruger, of Newark, Peter
Hanck, of Harrison, n. j., and Adolph
Hupfel, of this city, who sold their brew
cries to an English syndicate. in 1889,
have bought them back for $4,000, 600,
paying, it is said, s7s on preferred and
$35 on common stock.
"Brewers in New York, Chicago, st.
Louis and California some time ago did
the same thing.
Samuel Untermyer, of the firm of
Guggenheimer, Untermyer 4 Marshall,
represented the present purchasers. Mr..
Untermyer said that the purchase price
was close to 100000.
There were no 500 shares" said Mr..
Untermyer. During the time the English
people have held the breweries they have
received more than thir money back in
addition to what they are getting now.'

years, that agreement expiring in 1890.
Since that time they have been purchase

at the same time making them an offer

ONLY ONE NEGRO IN HEAVEN.

Leader

Only one negro has ever entered
heaven, and the gates of heaven are
closed against members of the black
race. This is the latest doctrine pro-
mulgated by the Mormon Church.
The announcement was made last
Sunday at the funeral services OF Eu.
gene Burns, one of the most prominent
col0red men in Utah. The Rev. ID. A.
Brown, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, had just finished his sermon
eulogiZing the dead negro. when Pat

quorums of the Seventies of the Nor.
mon Church. walked up to the pulpit
and, TO the CONSERVATION of the mourn.
ers, began highly sensational dis.
course
He declared that the dead man
could not enter heaven. He said that
an Ethiopian could not reach the state
OF eXaltation necessary to entrance
into heaven. His soul was doomed be-
fore his birth.

that tue negro may step up into that
preliminary state of exaltation. and
when he gets there "A chance is given

Mr. Brown immediately arose and
declared that no such teachings exist
