'partially insured. Nothing Is known about tho in

the factory and the stock It contained may approxi

Directly In the rear of the factory, with their fronts,
in Division street, stands a number or small dwelling
houses. The roofs of these belmr tin, did not Ignite,

was discovered adduce of water was poured in up n

Milling todiunaire the furniture the occupants were
dustily endeavoring to save. All the families living
m those dwellings had to leave. Save a wetting by

Abont half-past 12 o'clock this morning, a lire was
diseovured In one of the several extensive mills
ownea and occupied by John Dobson, situated at
the Kails of Schuylkill. It was some time before the
firemen reached the scene, and by that time the fire
IumI gained such progress that tt was Impossible for
them to save anything. The flames burned for
about three hours, at the expiration of which nothlnif
was left standing but the bare walls. Fortunately,
there was but a light stock of material on hand at
the time, the building having been cleared out on
Saturday, preparatory to making the regular change
from the manufacture of summer to winter mate
rials. The origin of the conflagration Is involved In
mystery, as there had been no lire in the place since
Niturday at noon. ' 8
The structure consisted of a four-story stone main
bnilding, TR feet by 40 feet, and a three-story stone
attachment, 70 feet by 45 feet. It was Insured for
$3000. The machinery was of the latest improve
ment, and was insured for 114,000. The stock had an
insurance of IThmmi, and the engine and boilers of
$1000, which was divided among the following com

will be seen, Is bnt small.
1VHITM0NDAY
Tho Fctttlval
In Day of Yore-It Modern
Celebration.
To-day, while countless thousands of people in
every country under the sun which owns the Gospel
are celebrating one of the most interesting seasons
of the year, that of Whitsuntide, it may be worth
while to glance at the early nistory or tne restival.
Jn quite ancient tib osthe peoples of Western Europe
observed this season with pomp and ceremony occa
sionally, but more frequently with wild fun and
gavety. It was that especially In which King
Arthur is represented, ai hol'uiig. hja most
splendid j.ourtt and more substantial monarchs
"uian Arthur considered the time as one of the grand
festivals of the year, looking for it as the particular
occasion of chivalrous adventure of tilt and
tournament. Popularly it is one of the most festive
nerioilB of the year. Iu merry England it was com-
, ..iKrnn ;r;: what was culled tljo "W'hit
ruonlv celebrated w m . ,. . -.i'- ,
sun Ale," and was the great time (or tile morris
dancers. Tho country pooplo would assemble In
some large barn. There they danced and regaled
and made merry. Fools and jesters were In demand,
indeed, In former times these festivals were deemed
of so much importance that the expenses were
defrayed by the parish, and charged in the church
wardens' accounts. Various games were indulged
In some of them peculiar to the season, and archery
especially was much practised. The mystery or
miracle plays, of which we read so much in ancient
lironlcleB, and which possess an interest even for
the present day, were likewise celebrated at this
time. They were usually performed iu churches,
but frequently In the open air, In cemeteries,
market-places, and squares, being got up at a cost
much exceeding the spectacles of the modern stage.
Not alone In England, however, was the season
elebrated. In France and Italy, to say
nothing of the other Christian States,
it was observed with a pleasure approaching an
uproar. Among the religious festivals of the Nea
politans even to the present day none Is more
joyously kept than this. The countryfolks and tho
citizens turn out en maxse to attend a certain church
ear the town, and there engage in their sports after
the service. In returning home vehicles of all sorts
are pressed into service, and decorated in a fantastic
manner with (lowers and ribbons and boughs of
trees. In these latter days we have grown more
cold and Indifferent, caring but little
about any extraordinary observance of tho
time. Still, so far as this country is concerned, and
especially with Its foreign element of our population,
the season is by no means forgotten. To-day, iu
tins city, the (lermans are indulging In their regular
Whitsuntide excursions and Jollltlctttiuns. At Kngel
A Wolf's farm a sasngerfest Is being given. The sing
ing societies participating In the utl'air are the Ma;n
nerchor, Young Mamncrehor, Sieiigcrbund, and
Lildertafel d. d. fr. Hem. A varied programme has
lieen prepared for the occasion, and a pleasant time
may be anticipated.

same spirit which led them lately to Morocco and San
Pomlngo, and which enihrolled them in a war with
Chill, Is now Impelling them against Cuba. They
arc resolved that the colonist shall nof, assert their
independence ; they hrfi determined to put down the
rebellion and to keep their hold upon the Island. Of
what Is to come afterwards they take little heed,
l'erhaps the Cubans will accept reasonable terms of
reconciliation; perhaps they will rebel again, with a

A Uny and Festive Knalish Youth tiprniln Threr
Thonxnnd I'ohikIh n Year on nn Income ol'
Knar Hundred.
The London 7'ini. gives (he following curlons and
Interesting history or a case of bniik ruptey lust decided
by the courts of Kngland, the bankrupt being a son
Of the lnte Huke of Newcastle:
"1-ord Albert Sidney I'elham Clinton owed at, the
lime of his appearance in Husinghull street upwards
ol A'iin.iKKi. in the year immediately preceding his
bankruptcy his expenditure had been a"AHD, against
an Income of a'400. The details of this expenditure,
as furnished by himself, showed gambling losses of
!0 at llomburg, jtlhO at Wiesbaden, and jC'M at
Spa, with betting losses or Xi'iO on the Derbv, and
Xlsnotthellrightonraces. In I'uris and elsewhere,
this gentleman,' according to the recapitulation
or the ( oiiiinisHiouer, 'spent for his expenses In
three weeks jC00; for apartments, .t'so; tr.ivelling
expenses, cubs, hotel bills, carriage hire, and theatre
and opera boxes, a'4'.'o more; keep or homes and ser
vants, a"200; for pocket. monv, 100.' This was the
style of living which the bankrupt s advocates li.t.
to be not extravagant within the meaning of the art
on which argument the Commissioner did not bel
stow much consideration, lie ruled, ns anvbodv
might expect him to rule, that, un expenditure of
about j:kkio on such pursuits as these, with an in
come of only 400 to support it, did undiviDtedly
expose the bankrupt to the sen tonne of the court
the only question was whether uu uncertain or prel
cnr.nns annuity could be made the subject of a judi
cial order.
"It was not to be supposed at anv rate, It was not.
necessary to assumethat, Lord Albeit Clinton, a
young man of good education, suitleient abilities and
advantageous connections, should be altogether
without the power of doing something for his living
It would be unjust, observed the Commissioner, to
presume that such a person 'meant to condemn him
self to a life of useless mid unworthy Idleness.' Lord
Albert could cam an Income of some kind or other,
even If Ills annuity were withheld an income which
ought, In fact, to yield the very modest, con
tribution of ,ioo a year for the benellt of
his creditors, so, In the order of the Court,
the annuity was left out, f the 'icstion,
and the fiankrupt was simply enjoined to pay
over a snm or 100 a year towards the satisfaction or
his debts. As his discharge is made conditional on
this payment, and as iu default of such payment
Lord Albeit will 'remain an undischarged bankrupt,
subject to all the consequences which attend that
state,' the trustees of the annuity can do as they
please. If they withhold the ullowance from their
ward, and he falls to earn a surplus of xioo a year by
Ills own exertions, he w ill be liable to Imprisonment
if they pay it, one-rourth of it will be available for
the bonertt of the creditors, and Iird Albert "inu-t
content himself with S0O a year for the future."

AYIintix Said of the Admiral.
The New York Herald editorially says:
The assumed friends of the Cuban cause In Wash
ington are taking particular pains to throw dis
credit on the official reports of Admiral f loci' from
Havana, on the state of affairs in Cuba, and are
particularly excited because he has told some truths
unpalatable to them. We have carefully wavhed
these reports for some time past, and have been par
ticularly gratified to notice their constant agree
ment with the facts or the movement in Cuba,
as made known to us from our voluminous
correspondence, our exchanges, and the
multitudinous supplies of Information
which pour in upon us from all sources. It is but
Just to the gallant Admiral to sav that our conclu
sion, from the perusal of his reports and a constant
study of developments in Cuba, Is that ho is emi
nently a fair-minded man and just to all parties. If
the Cuban sympathizers are not satisfied because he
truthfully reports the dissensions existing among
them, and the consequent weakness or their opera
tions, they can cure the evil by healing their dis
agreements and presenting a unity of organisation
which shall entitle them to respect. They cannot,
help their cause by abusing the true friends who tell
them of tlieir errors.
OBITUAKV.
Kuril a L. Lord.
The decease of this well-known banker and owner
or real estate took place on Saturday morning at his
residence in l.aigut, street, Mew York. Mr. Lord
had reached the advanced age of Sil years, and had
long retired from business life other than the super
vision of his vast real and personal property, which
in the aggregate amounts to nearly $0,000 000. He
derived a rental equal to about 7 per cent, ou the
well-known block of otllces bounded by Exchange
place and Willuim street. Thipropcrry alone is
worth f!i,fl00,noo. His personal estate consists for the
most part of United States bonds. Ho made it a
duty to his country to respond to every appeal for
material aid, and it is said that he subscrilted to or
bid for every public loan of the I 'nited States. The
particulars of the famous Uirtl liond robbery are yet
fresh In the minds of the public. His loss at that
tune was about fl.ioooou f bonds and certill-
nteR of stock. But he ultimately, although at a
heavy expense, recovered nearly the whole amount.
Mr. Lord was a bachelor, and his Immense tistaie
win ne divided among 111s nrotner ami si&tcrs, ami
their children and grand-children.

Nr.w York, May 17. There Is much erctto
nicnt in Wall street in consequence of the falluro
of the German banking house of Schcphnlor fe
Co. This firm is largely short of gold. Tho
general estimate of their short contracts on gold
Is 18,000,000. It Is understood also that they
were short of Government bonds, and had a
considerable amount of bills of exchange out.
Tlie greatest excitement and confusion pre
vail, and this failure has caused un unsettled
feeling In all departments. Tho gold market
was the first to feel tlie effects of tlie failure.
At the opening there was a perfect rush to
buy, which carried tho premium to U2, but
it soon declined to 141. It is estimated that
the Bank of England directors, at nn extraordi

to 5 per cent. Money easy. Exchnnge firm at
