Special
New York. March 81. 1909-Fluc-
tuations on the stock market have
been confined to very narrow limits.
A more confident unlertone prevails
in the market, based upon the belief
that all known unfavorable condi-
tons have been discounted; yet the
inertia that has prevailed for the past
two months continues, being main
tanned by the absence of many large
operators as well as the general dull
ness of business. The future is
being watched with close interest,
particularly in regard to crops and
the tariff For winter wheat the
outlook at present is quite satisfac-
tory, much more so than a month or
two ago. Very shortly preparations
will be in order for planting all crops,
and as prices for farm products at
present are unusually profitable the
outlook is for full acreage during
the coming year.
The Tariff
AS to the tariff, little progress has
been made, though quite as much as
expected. 1t must be taken for grant
ed that the worst is known in the
mater of revision. The Payne bill,
while containing some glaring de-
fects, was upon the whole measure
which indicated an earnest effort To-
wards tariff revision 1t is conceded
that the rates as reported in that bill
were the Lowest which could possibly
be enacted Consequently the worst
is known as to changes of that char
acter, and the probabilities are that
during the discussion many changes
will be made and these will be chiefly
in the direction Of higher rates than
those named in the original draft.
This, of course, while discouraging to
tariff reformers. will be reassuring to
manufacturers and others dependent
upon tariff support The great body.
of manufacturers and merchants are
now more injured by uncertainty
than by any probable revision. Their
chief desire is TO have these prob
lens and irritating discussions ended
in order that they may go ahead with
plans and work either contemplated
or begun.

and IT, might as we'll lie conceded as
not that We are in the midst of a
period of reaction which should have
worked itself out year ago as the
natural sequence OF the panic, but

restraint imposed by the Steel trust
and other similar combinations. 1t

The question as to how long you are
going to continue a sufferer from Indi-

a matter Of how soon you begin taking

If your Stomach is lacking in diges-

agents, such as are naturally at work
in the stomach.
People with weak Stomachs should
eat Diapepsin after meals, and there

five minutes after eating one Triangule
Of Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get 50-cent
case Of Pape's Diapepsin now, and you
will always go to the table with a
hearty appetite, and what you eat Will
taste good. because your stomach and
intestines will be clean and fresh, and
you will know there are not going to be

the bottom Of the ruins now. Mrs.
Beethafn was aroused either by the
noise of the flames or by shouting, she
cannot, tell which, but upon opening
the door a sheet of flames filed the
doorway and she at once gave the
alarm to DR.. Harris and his wife.
Their son was not at home, being at
his grandmother's in Preston. Mrs.
Harris got out first in her night clothes
and barefooted, and in walking around
in back of the building cut and bruised
her feet badly before getting to the
Wauregan house. The doctor had lit
tie clothing and was loaned an over
coat when he struck the ground. Mrs.
Beetham and Mrs. Coggshall came
down the fire escape at that time. DR..
Harris states that he carried but about
$1,000 insurance, which will not cover
his loss by a half. He was able to
save nothing. DIR. and Mrs. Harris
are now stopping with Mr.. and Mrs,
John Rogers.
Miss Fannie Gibson, whose room was
on the second floor, was aroused by
the fire, and upon opening the door
realized the situation, and securing a
dressing gown and bathrobe. besides
her shoes, she hurried into the hall
and being directed by c. C. Eldredge's
~oice as he was escaping from his
DOM, she reached the stairway and
hurried to the rooms Of her father,

The Shannon building Is a mass of
ruins, nothing being left but the walls
after the fire had been gotten under
control, and as they were dangerous
the walls were pulled down during the
afternoon. The One-story building OF
the PIaut- gladden. company was wreck
ed by falling walls, while the two up
per stories Of the Chelsea bank build
ing are a mass Of ruins, the addition
at the rear Of the Chelsea bank build
ing being also Quilted.
There was little opportunity for the
inremen to do anything to check the
fire in the Shannon building, but in
holding in chiefly in that building was
the effort Of the department, and their
success won much commentator. At
6.42 the recall was sounded, but the
fire was by no means out at that time,
although checked and with no likeli-
hood OF its spreading.
The cause Of the fire IS still as much
of a mystery as ever. DR.. Harris Is OF
the opinion that # was caused by rats
chewing off the insulation Of electric
wires near the elevator and air shafts
there having been several small fires
of an unexplalnable nature there.
There was considerable excitement
after the upper floors had fallen in
and some of those acquainted with the
building began to recall that thev had
not seen Mrs. Ann w. Copgshall and
the report was current that she was
in the fire. This was soon disproved,
rs she had been seer to come down the
rear fire escape and had gone to the
home Of William Fl. Cardwell on Main
street. She was aroused by the fire
and managed to save some Of her
clothing.

checked as It was was pleasing TO him.
II water could have been used at the
rear he considered the Chelsea bank

Mr.. Shannon states that he will re-
build at once. He was in consultation
with his architect during Tuesday af-
ternoon and will erect a reinforced con-
crete building thoroughly freproof He
plans to start upon 1t at once and the
structure he hopes can be erected In
three months time. He cannot tell
whether the layout Of the stores will
be the same as in the old building as
yet, that not having been determined
upon. It will be planned for the pur-
poses of the old building. The old
brick will be trimmed up and can be
used in the new building, while the
iron supports on the ground floor are
uninjured and can be used in the new
building. II IS probable there will be
the same tenants as previous to the
fire. The new building win be fireproof
and a credit TO the corner.

In the Drug Store.
Major Steiner was called to his
pharmacy early Tuesday morning and
had just reached his home when the
fire alarm sounded. He went back al
once and going into his store secured
his prescription books to the number
of four. He took a prominent part, to-
gether with First Lieutenant Adams
Of Fort jay, in rescuing people from
the building. He was unable to get
into his safe and that went into the
cellar and so did his stock, that corner
being the last to burn. He was in
sured and is having his business tend
ed to at Lee e. Osgood's.
Lewis newsstand was the last store
to catch and that burned fiercely as
the papers and books caught. Nothing
was saved from there. The valuable
books of the st. Joseph sodality were
saved by the vice president, but the
fire was checked before It reached
their rooms.
Apollo Hall Fire.
The fire was almost on the fortieth
anniversary Of the burning Of Apollo
hall. which was where the Boston
store building now Is. That burned
Feb. IA, 1859, and was the first fire at
which Chief Stanton did duty. He
was but a lad then, but was one of
the active firemen.

Just as was expected" seemed to
be the general verdict of the people
after viewing the destroyed Shannon
building on Tuesday, showing that
many had figured out in their minds
about what would happen If the build
ing ever burned. 1t was considered by
Chief Stanton to be one Of the worst
places to fight a fire in the cityNa
for that reason much study had been
given 1t in anticipation of just what
happened. 'The fire was fought" said
Chief Stanton, just as 1t had been
planned, and I am satisfied that the
department did all that possibly could
be expected Of It. Each company knew
what to do for fire in that building
and they did 1t. and the results are
no more than were anticipated, as It
was always marked as a doomed build
ing should fire ever get a headway"
After being on the ground nineteen
hours, Chief Stanton left the ruins
with six men to guard them for the
night at o'clock and two streams of
water were then being played on the
burning debris. The escaping com
pressed air from a broken pipe IN the
ruins gave forth a sound like ESCAPING
steam throughout the afternoon and
evening, it being impossible to get to
the valve to shut It off.
1t is estimated that the loss will be
between 100000 and 100000. it being

had the men assembled and the steam

it did effective service, being station
ed in Franklin square, taking water
from the cistern, as did Engine No.
Of the city Engine No. of Greene
VILE took water from the hydrant in
front of the Metropolitan hotel. All
three gave effective streams. The
Yantic steamer was sent home about
7.30 and the front wheels were a mass
of ice.
Chief Stanton stated that in the
plans for fighting the IRE in that
building the order was for the en-
gines TO take water from the square.
They ooeyed the orders and the meas
urement of the reservoir the middle
of the forenoon showed that the
draught on that body of water did not
lower it over a quarter Of an inch.
The firemen were furnished hot cof-
fee and sandwiches by the Parker Da-
venport Co. and George Driscoll and
the Del-Hoff hotel and others fur
nished hot coffee.
Reid g. Hughes Loss.
G. F. Hughes and Mr.. and Mrs
John r. Hughes of Waterbury arrived
here on Tuesday. having been inform
ed of the fire by telephone. Mr.. Hughes
stated in the evening that it was i'm
possible to give any idea of the loss
they had sustained. The stock in the
annex Is, of course, totally DESTROYED
The fire crept through a hole where
the cash system ran from the annex
into the main building, and then fol-
q distance of 25 feet in the silk de-
partment burned considerably but 9TH
erwise there was but little fire in the
main building. The portion leased
from the Plaut- gladden. Co. went down
with the Shannon building wall and
all is gone there. In the main build
ing the stock was badly wet down, but
there was little fire there. The heater
was kept going all the time and the
broken windows had all been boarded
up by night. 1t will be a case of wait
for the insurance adjUsters now, said
Mr.. Hughes. and until we can get at
the vault and get the inventory papers
it will be impossible to tell what the
loss will be. The millinery department
had been made into the annex. It is
estimated that the companys loss will
be about s150.000. which is mostly COW

painful wound which laid him up
Tuesday night.
There is general Thanksgiving that
there was no loss Of life in the fire,
and considering the big Roadway the
~- ~ 80 escapes were all'the more
remarkable.
Lost His Bankroll.
Prof. Loweth was aroused soon after
the alarm was given, the police and
hremen going about and opening all
the doors possible and breaking in
those which were locked. Prof. Loweth
was STAGGERED by the smoke for min
ute and going out into the hall to
learn the trouble became confused and
was unable thereafter to locate his
vest In one of the pockets he states
that he had a roll of bills containing
$3.50 which went up in smoke He was
for saving some OF the paintings in
his studio at the start, but quickly
abandoned that and considers that he
got out none too soon himself, as he
would have been overcome in a few
minutes more.
