Ilergrlrmh's Rink Destroyed and Other Prop erly nsdly Damaged by th names en Sunday. Mount Jer, April 4. Sunday morning, at I) o'clock, smoke was seen issuing from the roer of Uergelreth's Orand Central aksting rink, en West Denegal street The building was used by the Salvation Army aa a bar racks for the past three months snd is s large building 40 feet wide and 100 reet in length. It Is one story high, built or rough timber, and en the outside the sesms were covered with strips, and en the Inside heavy reefing paper was used te keep out the air. There were no beards en the celling and the rafters and shingles were exposed te view until sbeut a year age when that part was also covered with paper. The supposition Is that the paper took fire from the red het stovepipe. There were two stoves In the building st the time. The fire msde such rapid hesdwsy thst s man who ran across the street for s bucket et water could net get in before the reef was a mass el tlame. It was seen that te try and save the building at this time was useless, as the Uatnes bad already cemmuulcated with the stable or Henry Pller en the west side, snd the resldenca of Jacob L. Hrunner en the east side of the ricii. The stable or Mr. Prller was destroyed with Its contents consisting et a let of lumber and cord weed, Ac, Twe fine pigs were in the pen; these were removed. The residence of J. L. Hrunner, which stands but a few steps east or the rink, was considerably damaged. The west Bide or the building was burned te a crisp ; the reef Is full of boles where the sparks struck it The building is also considerably damaged by water. The house Is insured ter f 1,000 in the Northern Mutual Insurance company of Lancaster county, at Ephrats. Mr. Pefter's stable Is also Insured tn the same company for f 100. A. K. Martin Is the agent for the cempauy. Thcre was no Insurance en tbe rink. The persens who sutler by the fire were unfortunate, and yet we must say tbey were fortunate in one respect Fer had the build ing caught fire during the night, there is no telling but what there might have been lives lest. Lsrge crowds of people vltted the ruins all day yesterday. OTUER 110KOUUI1 NOTES. Ou Saturday afternoon of last week Aud Aud tieueerCbas.

Ths andlence present In Folten opera heese was s large one snd wss msde'up almost en tirely et men. Ths first contest was thst be tween Beb Tnrnbull and Jimmy Carrell, both of whom showed themselves very clever In the handling of tbelr fists. Then came a mill between Jee Lannen, of Seuth Bosten, snd the world's champion, Jehn L. Hnlllvan. In Introducing the latter, Mr. Hheedy begged the Indulgence of the audience for Sullivan's lame left arm, which he said the latter was trying te get In geed condition te pound some one en the ether side et the water. (Ap plsuse). Sulltvsn wss In msgntfieent form, stripped te the waist, snd though he used his left srni sparingly, he would every new and then let go his ponderous right in a manner that would set the audience wild with delight.

He says he Is 28 yesrs et sge, snd he and Hheedy will make a trip te Australia this season, where tbey expect te make much money. Sullivan gives it ss his opinion that Jem Smith ."'ld newe face him.

He will net ssk Kllraln te put up a dollar as stake money, but depend entirely upon gste receipts, se thst In the event of bis being whipped he would lese no money. Kllraln said that be would net fight with Sullivan except upon the terms that he had given ethers 35 percent te the loser. The President Meets the slugger.

I knew he would cure you or any unhealthluess arising Irem want eftxereise." 11 I'm glad te meet Mr. Sullivan," said the president with a smile, as he glanced admir ingly at him, " he's net as large a mau as I expected te see, but I think I'll try and care myself." While standing en the portico of the White Heuse waiting ler a carriage te drive up, Sullivan, brawny, rugged and clear skinned said te a representative el the United Press : "There's one thing the president ought te have, and that Is a course et Turkish baths ; give him a llneel them for a couple of months aud a rubbing down two or three times a week, and he'd be a new man, I knew it."
