Lancaster had another firs en Sunday
Bight, when iha lock manufactory ewasd
and operated by K. T Fralm, and situated
en Park avenue, Immediately oppeella the
Ijeneatter cemetery, wu almost entirely
deatreyed. The lira wh discovered about
twenty minutes before 11 o'clock, and
among the flrat en the ground wr Harry
Keadtg, Oearlea Weaver, Special Offleer
Ebrman and Offleer Glass. When thcas
people arrived tbe Ore wee In the south
eastern corner et the building, en tbe
second fleer. A I arse portion of the
eeutbern wall bad already fallen in. Offleer
Glaw atruek an alarm from box 46, at
Frederlek and Lime streets, and tbe are)
engine belonging In tbe dlstrlet qalekly
responded. They - went te work at
once and kept streams en the
building until an early hour thla
morning. Tbe building was almeat a
oemplete wreck before the Are waa extin
guished. The reef waa burned from nearly
the whole building, and the floera in the
eastern part were burned en and fell te the
cellar. Tte walla are about all that are tort
In anything like geed condition, and Miey
may have te be partially rebuilt. All
the stock, either flnlahed or being made,
the miehlnery, fixture, Ac , were entirely
deatreyed or badly damaged. The ma
chinery consisted of lathe, euttlng and
punuhleg machine and apeelal machinery
ter making lock. In the basement of the
balldlug Mr. Fralm bad recently plaeed a
new aleigb, aet of harneai, robes, & i , all of
wbleb were burned.
The building waa of brick with two aterlea
and a bateinentand In Bin waa 30x70 feet.
It baa suffered greatly from fire, aa thla 1
tbe third one that hasiaken place In It, The
laat occurred about air yeara age. Mr.
Fralm employed thirty man and menu
factored ioeka et many kind. The capa
city of tbe shop waa 1,200 dozen locks per
week or 200 dozen per day. Tbe former
number was turned out laat week and
there were many orders ahead. Mr. Fralm
bad tbe ahep cleaned np en Saturday, for
the purpose of taking account or atoek to
day and reaumlng work en Wednesday.
Tee origin of the fire la a mystery? Fer
five yeaia peat there baa been no fire In the
fJulldleg for beating purposes, Bteam baa
been naed during that time, and that waa
Eroeured from the boiler In tbe engine
euse wblch la an entirely separate build
ing and la altuated In tbe rear. In the
corner where tbe fire broke out there waa a
bake even whleh waa used In japanning
locks. There has been no fire in It since
Wednesday a week, and the eren was cov
ered with tin se as te prevent any fire from
escaping from It. Before the fire was die
covered a man named MoOuteheon,
who Uvea near the lock works, beard
a loud explosion, whleh seemed te
take place In tbe corner of tbe building
where the fire waa alerted. Tbla explosion
Is supposed te have blown out part of tbe
front wall. What caused It no one aeems
te knew, unless some one forced an entrance
Inte tbe building and exploded some
material which may bave atarted the fire.
Spontaneous combustion was entirely out
et tbe question, aa tbe building had been
well cleaned en Saturday.
Although the building was se badly used
up, tbe aafe and all tbe book, papers, dta,
in the office were saved. Mr. Fralm was
nnable te estimate bis less this morning,
but thinks bis atcck was worth about
112,000. The building and content a were
Insured with Eokenredeit My era in tbe
following companies : St. Paul, of St. Panl,
Minn., $2,100; German, of Pittsburg, f2 100;
TiOnden k Lancashire, 12,100; New Yerk

He nad Just had hla salary raised, they were

Lester Tayler, a wealthy farmer, residing
near Mllllogten. Ontario, baa been swlu

young man pretended te be tbe only son
of wealthy and dlstlngulalied parenta, and
aald that his guardian waa attempting te
cheat him out of bis inheritance.. He
wanted te learn farming, as bis wealth
waa mainly in lands. Ills confederate in

eughly digested will go a goodly distance
suwarea asaxiBg a aovtee sa expert. Mere
are some points ea hew te carve a boiled
tnrkey which Ja aa geed aa Illustration as
eaa be gives:
The legs et a boiled fowl always bead In
ward and tuek Inte tbe belly, but before It
Is put upon the table tbe skewer by whleh
they at secured ought te be removed.
The fowl should be laid en the carver's
plats, and the Joints, aa they are out off,
8 laced ea the dish. la taking eff the wing
le Joint must only be divided with tbe
knife, for by lifting up the pinion of tbe
wing with lb fork and then drawing It to
wards the legs the muscle will separate la
a much batter form than you ean effect by
euttlng with - a knife. Next place the
knife between the leg and body and out
te the bone; turn the leg back with ths
fork and the Joint will give way It the fowl
la- your ard well done. The merry
thought aiken out when the legs and
wings are all removed ; the neck bones are
taken off br nnttmar in tbe knife and me.
sing It under the long, bread part of tbe
bone then lift the neck bone upend break
It eff from that part that atleka te tbe bressr.
The breast Itself has new te be divided from
tbe earcata by euttlng through tbe tender
ribs close te the breast, quite down te tbe
tali ; then lay tbe back upward, put your
kuuv iuw me uone nan way rrem inn neck
te tbe wing, and en raising tbe lower end
It will readily separate. The laat thing te
be dena la te turn the rump from you and
neatly tke off tbe sidesmen. Kseh part
should be neatly arranged en the dish.
Tes turkey should net be divided till tbe
breast la disposed of, but It It bethought
proper te divide, the same process mutt be
followed aa directed lu a fowl. The fellow,
ing la tbe best mode of serving this delloleus
bird: Begin by cutting oless te tbe breast
bone, scooping around se aa te leave the
mere pinions. Eaeb silos should carry
with It a portion of the pudding or force
meat with whleh tbe eraw is stutlsd.
In carving a roasted fowl, expert carvers
always flrat disjoint tbe thigh bone from
tbe body. Tben "tbe pert that gees ever
the fence last," familiarly called by various
ether nsmes, is out from the body. The
breast next needs attention. Finally the
nnny interior bones are disjointed.

te be tbe widow et A. Penn I.nik, wbe
died In Uanlsburg In Auguat, 18.87. Lusk
was 05 years old and was supposed te be a
confirmed bachelor. He made bis home at
the resldenee of bis brother lu law, Jehn
J. Dull, one of Uarrlsburg's millionaire
cltlztRe. In bis will Lusk made a small
firovlalen for a child named Stener, living
n Phlladel phla. His estate amounted te (00,
000. Of thla nearly bait bad been distributed
te the heirs, and the balance was te have
been dlittlbuted and the estate settled up
this weak. Tbe administrators and belts bad
assembled for that purpose, wheu a elalm
was put In by Sparbawk & Petter, a Ann et
Philadelphia lawyers, en bebalf of a eltent
claiming te ba Mr a. Jane Stener Luak, of
Philadelphia, widow of I'enn Lusk, do de
mending ene-third of tbe estate as such
widow. This elalmant is the mother et the
ehlld te whom Lusk made a bequest In
his will, of which child the claimant says
be was tbe father.
The calm created net only a great
sensation among the helrs, but was a social
bombshell. The alleged widow was
formerly a handsome young woman of
reapectable family et Harrlaburg, wbe
went te Philadelphia some yeais age,
where, abe el leges, sbe was supported by
Lusk, who subsequently married her. She
elatms te have uoeumonlary evldcnee of
tbe marriage. Her appearanoe In tte case
hes thrown the settlement of the estate Inte
the courts. Commissioners have been
appointed te hear the ovldmea,

Particulars of lbs Terrible Dtsaater.
The elegant passenger steamer Kate
Adams, running as a semi-weekly packet
between Memphis and Arkansaa City, waa
burned Sunday morning near Commerce,
Mlssltilppl. 40 miles south of Memphis.
She was en mute te Memphis, and bad
about two bundled people aboard, includ
ing her deck aud cabin crew of 80, and 2.1
eablti and 00 dcek passengers, and 1
oelnted cabin psseugeta.
Tbe fire, wblch etugbt In sorae cotton
near tbe ferwaid end of tbe best, was dis
covered about 8 o'clock, The'paasengers
were at breakfast, and when the alarm was
given they all made a ruh for the forward
deck. At tbe time tbe ateamer waa about
000 yards from the Mississippi side of the
river, and her bow was at onee headed for
tbe sbore. Pilet J. A. Barten waa en watch
and be remained heroically at his pest until
she was safely lauded. Harry Best, tbe
acesnd clerk, who was seated at tbe table
when the alarm wis given, bad brought all
the ladle and children forward and as
sisted them ashore.
Captain Mark Cheek, wbe wu en the
hurricaue deck, rematned there giving bis
commands uutll the stage plank waa
safely lowered. Tbe fire by this lime bed
spread all through the cabin, and be was
compelled te retieit te the rear and climbed
ever the rails and descended te the cabin.
Here he found the ehlef clerk, W. C
Blanker, who bad made an effort te aave
the money and papers etthe steamer, wblch
were In the Bale. Tt.esafoeouUlnod about
fC.OOO ; about t'2,000 of this belonged te
pa-aeoger. He managed te grab the
money, but waa cnt off from tbe bow and
forced baek Inte the cabin, Aa he waa
groping his wsy ait, be stumbled and fell
ever souie chairs and lest all the valuables
he had secured, sud It wa with great
dlfllenlty that he eucescded In reaehlng tbe
rear through tbe blinding smoke snd ilsmts
which filled tbe cabin. Captain Cheek
seized a life preserver, and, piaelng it en
Chlet Clerk Blanker.helped htm overboard
Inte tbe water. He ileated down about three
miles before he was reacued by parlies who
had walitcd asbere and followed him down
the river. Csptultt Cheek assisted seversl
ethers lu securing life preservers, and when
It was no longer possible ter him te remsln
without being burned be, tee, Jumped Inte
the river and awam ashore.
Thern were about US oelored cabin pas
sengers wbe were aaved along with the
wblte passengers. On tbe lower deck, how
ever, a learlut panic seized tbe crew and
deck passengers. These who were out oil
from escape from the bow were compelled
te Jump overboard te save tbelr Uvea. Tbe
stern of the burning ateamer bad swung out
into the river, and an tltert waa made te
IoudeIi the yawl. It waa capsized by tbe
crowd whleti filled It, and mauy of Its oecu
pauta drowned. Tbey were meatly onlerod
men, but there were three or four women
In the crowd.
The leit, re far aa can ba learned, are as
follews: Geerge Corbet, third clerk, aged
30 years, wbe hid launehed tbe yawl and
was trying te save the colored women en
tbe lower deck. He leaves a wife, who
resides In St. Leuis. Jee Perter, Andrew
Rees, Menree Jacksen, Jim Nelsen, Senater
Celeman and Milliard Uorten, et the oelored
cabin crew. Lee Plnley, Frank Wells, col
ored roustabouts, in addition about fifteen
deck passengers, four of whom were white
men, were also drowned. In this list of
unknown were three oelored women and
two children. Tbey were coming te Mem
phis te spend the holidays, Tbe whites
bad been working en tbe levees and tbelr
namea and destination are unknown.
The burning ateamer drilled away, after
lying at the bank for 20 minutes, aud lieated
down the river, her hull sinking at the head
of Peter'a Island, lour miles below Com
merce. The Kate Adams wss owned by the Mem
phis it Vicksburg Packet oempanv, of
which Majer Jehn D. Adams, of Little
Reck, la presldeut; Captain Mark R, Ohoek,
superintendent, and Jehn M. Peter, secre
tary and treasurer. She was built by James
Krn fc Senc, of PitUburg, In 1881, and oest
$102,000. She was the Unest aud laateat
steamer of her type, and ber owners this
summer spent 120,000 In repairing her at
Paducah. She wsa insured for 133,700 in
Si Leuis, Cincinnati aud ether foreign
c Hi ces.
Her enrge consisted of 1,101 bsles of cot
ton, 1,000 sacks of cotton seed, 87 baga seed
aud a geed list of sundries. Tbe cotton was
consigned te Mem phis merchants and fully
Insured in tbelr cpen policies.
All the paiseugera aud crew arrived at
Memphis In the afternoeu having taken
tbe Louisville, New Orleans A Texas rail
road train at Reblnsvlllle, which station Is
eight mllei distant In the interior from
wnern the disaster occurred. Tbe altlssns
of Commerce rendered the psenger snd
crew every aaslstauee In reaching Robin Rebin Robin
nenvllle, euuveylcg them there lu wagons
aud every conceivable veblcln that could
be precured. There were 170 from tbe
Ill-fated ateamer tbat came te Mempbls,
Captain Cheek defraying tbe expense of
all these who did net have fundr.
The passengers and crew lest all their
clothing and effects, and aeme made their
escape te tbe shorn from the burning
steamer en dcthabiUe, but were provided
with clothing by the kind clllzjus et Com
merce. Turtle el the colored cabin crew
who were rescued from the water died
alter wards. 'Jim water was very cold,
which benumbed tbe limbs et tboje who
Jumped overboard, and te this Is attributed
Ibe greatest less of life.
AH aeak lu the highest terms of tb cool
ness aud bravery displayed by the cllleers,
Captains, eleikf, pilots aud engineers all

A PAIR OP DRAWERS.
Supreme Cenrt Jade.es and a Lively Patent
Caee The Lawy era Have Bems Pan,
If the Untied Htatea supreme court hsd
barn transferred te the stage or a theatre
and Wednesday's proceedings advertised,
the sign ' standing room only " would
bave been vlslbls before the curtain went
up, and when the last act of the drama had
been concluded it la lair te assume that
the entlre company would have had
te respond te tbe enthusiastic calls
or tne audience. Hilarity reigned
supreme In the court room. The usually
BJata and solemn Justices gave way be
fore tbe wit and humor of counsel and wire
convulsed with laughter, aud the walls of
the court room rang mnrrtly, The fun be
gan when the oleik announced eissNn.
135 Rebert H. Andersen, appellant vs,
Henry T. Miller t Ce. nd Jenn D. Wise,
the ex oengresaniau from Virginia, arose te
state the ease In behalf of tbe appellant
It tnvelvea the validity of a patent for a
pateh Intended te reinforce drawers In tbe
crotch. Mr. Wise la a bright, witty young
lawyer, bubbling ever with geed spirits,
and with mobility et oeuntenanoe rivaling
tbat el the beat of comedians. He seised
at once upon tbe opportunity ter a display
of hla talents aa a fun maker, and with
anecdote, sareasm and raillery kept the
oeurt juitlesa, lawyers, spectsters and all In
a rear. Mr. Wise opened by reading from
bis brief tbe opinion or Judge Hughes, el
the United Steles nlreult oeurt for Ibe
Eastern district of Virginia, In the ease.
This opinion Is remarkable for Its levity.
Judge Uugbes said thst It was a patent
for a pateb upon drawers, extending from
the back et the waistband down under the
oretoh and up in a split form te the walet
baud In front, or course it Is a patch u pen
new drawera before worn. Cue of Its merits
is that tt strengthens nr,te ue the euphem
ism of the patent cilice, "relnforeea" tbe
drawers at the oretob, where a catastrophe
lamest likely te occur. Tnen, as a state
men t of bla reasons wby he did net believe
a patent sbeuld be granted ter tbla improve-
uimii, j uuge uugnea ssiu :
"Itstrlkis me that a patent for a pateh
upon drawers,deslgned te remedy tbe evils
et ilp snd tear te whleh tbey are liable In
tbe crotch, ought never te have been
granted, Interfering aa II must neeesssrllv
de with the prerogative of the boueewlveaef
tbe civilized world te pateh the drawera of
their husbands, fathers and sons freely In
their own wsy, with no patentee te molest
or make them afraid.
'It Is Impossible tbat tbe pateh ean be
novel aa te tbe simple matter et strengthen
ing the seams and the material et drawera
In the Immedlate region of the crelch ; ter
It drawera de continually give way tbere It
would be a reflection upon tbe hcuaewlvcs
of clv"!sjd society net te admit that for
hundreds of years they have been In the
habit of patehing the gaiment and the
forks thereof by Ispplug the seams and
rotuferclng ' the route in tbat region. As
te the disorders of mob's drawers In and
near tbe crotch, which bave troubled house
wives for centuiles, 1 de net think any
person In our day and generation can em
ploy a patch for the purpete of preventing
or curing them tbat can have any real
novelty."
Mr. wise dilated upon this opinion at
length, and with inlmttablegestureand ex
pression warned tbe Justices of the Import
ance et the case te the leinlnlne portion of
the oemmunity, and of tbe wrath that waa
Impending ever them. Concluding, he
aald tbe ease resembled the game of fare.
There is this d til erence, however," said
tbespeaker. "In fare the dealer gets all
the spllta and In this the splits are all
against the dealer." At this sally tbe oeurt
leatall likeness te Us usually serious aud
dlgnined self. Tbe laughter became
boisterous and every one gave way
freely te his feelings. Chief Justice Fuller
could net restrsin himself and almeat
fell out of bis ebalr. Justice Harlan's huge
form and big rosy, round face became een.
vulsed with laughter until it became al
most awipiectle, Jtistlee a ray made a
strong eftert te preserve tbe dignity of the
court, but he, tee, was compelled tosuo tesuo tosue
oumb and Jein In the general merriment.
