The people of this city were startled by
an alarm of fire shortly before J2 o'clock
Friday nlglit. The cause of it was the burn
ing or u large brick building owned by
Charles V. Hele, and situated en Fast
Chestnut street near Duke, botweon Chest
nut and the Pennsylvania railroad. Tlie
flre was one of the large-it and most de
structive that has taken place in Lancaster
for a loner time, and the less will
be quite heavy. The main building was fcO
by 115 feef, two steries high, with a bao bae
nicnt. The lower Heer was formerly used
by the Phcenlx cork factory. At the time
oftlie flre D. II. Kulp, manufacturer of
veutllntlng funs and pattern work, occu
pied the llr&t fleer. In the second story
were Osberno V Ilartuian, who manufac
tured ornamental metal handles for canes
and nmbrcllas. C. V. Hete, w he manu
factures lien fencing and structural work,
occupied a small room iu (he eastern end
of the building as an efiic-e. Ills manufac

building, about 120 by eO feel, and extended
te the Pennsylvania railroad. A small

thou;li something was burning. Olllcer
Daniel Olass, of the pollce force, was nt the
Pennsylvania railroad station w hen he saw
sinelti issuing from the building. Ac
companied by W. .1. Mingle, foreman for
Mr. Kulp, he tan up Chestnut street and
atonce saw what was wrong. The lire,
which seemed te be In the second Meer of
the main building, made rapid headway
and In u sheit time flames were leaping
from the windows and huge volumes of
thick black smeke arose. An alarm was
struck from box 31, at Chestnut and Duke
slrects, and although the hour was into the
firemen were promptly en hand as were a
large number of citizens, most of whom
had been awakened from their sound
slumber. Thejle engines were stationed
nt the following peints: Ne. 1, Marlen and
Duke ; Ne. 2, Christian and Chestnut: Ne.
3, Chestnut and Cherry; Ne. -1, Duke and
Chestnut. In a sheit tlme all had
strong stieams of water en. It was
impossible te work en the north
side of the building owing te the deep cut
of the Pennsylvania railroad, and the
streams weic all put en from the Chestnut
street side. The flames burned very
fiercely, and although streams wcie kept
playing upon the nuia building for an hour,
alter wlilch the tire was under centi el,!t was
imposslble te de much towards saving that
pait. It was completely destroyed, neth
ing being left but the walls. The poitien
occupied by Mr. Hele, in the rear was also
destreyed. The building used by Mr.
Lcman had the woodwork oftheuoots anil
window 3 burned out and the reef was
damaged.

THE NEW HOLLAND HAILItOAD.
The New Helland "Clarien" Appealu
te Lancaster te Subscribe.
The question or building the railroad bo be
twecn New Helland and Lancaster will be
definitely determined in a row days. The
Pennsylvania Ilailread company agreed te
build the extension whenever $100,000 wero
subscribed. Or that amount, $50,000 were
raised several weeks age, but for the past
few weeks nothing has been dene towards
securing the remaining $1 1,000. The Penn
sylvania company flxed a time when the
money must be raised and that limit has
almost been toadied. The cemmittee iu
charge lias been very actlve iu raising sub
scriptions, but in their canvas in this city
they have net met with much success.
Cill Lnginecr S. C. Sl.iyiu.iker will
make auother suivey of the proposed read
next week, te ateld If pessible several deep
cuts.
The New Helland Clarien in its issue of
te-day appeils te Lancaster city te sub
scribe sulllcient se that the proposed read
will be constructed at once. It points out
the advantages It will be te Lanuister In
the way of trade Its article condudes as
fellows ;
Heading is no further Irem the large,
w ctitliv and thrifty population of the east
ern end than Lancaster, and enjoys new a
large share oftlie patrenage or this end or
the country, and with the railroad lines
that we new have te connect with Heading,
a slight change of schedule would give our
peoiile easy and speedy access with the
capital city et Berks. Is Lancaster se dull
te her own interests as te allow such a
con rse te continue? It scorns almost Im
possible, and yet the tatdlness manifested
iu taking up theso bends Is certainly dis
couraging te theso who hae embaiked m
this enterprise with all earnestness te
cany It through.

was confronted with a dlvorce granted in
Nebraska, fraudulently, she claims, when
she demanded the right te administer uieii

dlvorce decreed against her in Nebraska
was procured through somebody jcrona jcrena

On the ether hand the attorney for the
administrator ciams that Mrs. Fyock hav

The estate In dispute is valued at less

LANOASTE1., PA., SATURDAY,
A MINlSTElt'S HASH TALK.
Why the Hev. Menree Drew, orLeelalrei
low-M, Hen Left That State.
Lcclalr Is a river town, 12 miles north of
D.i enpeii, Iowa, noted for the number or
steamboat and raft men, w he live and con
gregate there. It Is agitated new, as it has
nqver been stirred before, by a sweeping
charge tnndc bv the PreRbvterlan minis
ter from the pulpit last Sunday
night te the etlect that a virtuous
woman between the ages of III
and 25 years could net be found in the
place. Tite iater is known as Hev. Mon Men Mon
reo Drew, and lie is quite a young man.
He rame from Chicago four months age,
and has been preaching te growing congre
gations. He was sensational lu his ways
of putting gospel truths, and many were
drawn te ills services out or curiosity.
Last Sunday Mr. Drew was tmrtlcularly
severe, saying that Immorality had ca
t u red the tewu. He stated lu all serious
ness that he had been told a woman of
honor did net live lu Leclalre.
At the end or the sorvlce the young
preacher was surrounded by his hearers,
w he inade violent pretosts at such unbe
coming language. The next day he was
waited upon bv thirty young ladles, and a
public retraction was demanded. Mr.
Drew wanted te take back his words pri
vately, and te apologize te his callers, but
they w euld have nene erit. The next step
w as the calling of a mass meeting, w hichwas
held last night lu the largest hall in the town
Mere than 400 Indignant women aiuLineii
met. They Invited the minister te attend,
but it rejiert from Pert Byren says that he
kit the state and went ever Inte Illinois,
fearing personal Injury, The meeting was
organized by calling a justice of the jicace,
11. A. Edwards, ene or the eldest citizens te
the chair, and the selection ela young lady,
Miss Bclle Horten, as secretary. Some
very plain words e! denunciation were in
dulged lu, and later a cemmittee composed
of two men and three women, all mairlcd,
was appointed le prepare it reeri.
After deliberation the report wits sub
mitted. It oxpresses indignation at the
statement made rrem the pulpit nud asserts
confidence In the character or the young
ladles el' the place. It demands or the
trustees orthe church the immediate dis
charge or Hev. Mr. Draw and avows pub
lic contempt for the outrageous insult te
the community. All Presbyterian churches
are warned net te have anything le de
w ith Hev. Mr. Drew. Lawyers have been
consulted with the view or instituting
suits for slander. Muttcrlngs of tar and
feathers are often heard, and seme of the
young ladles declare that they will net let
the matter diep until a public retraction Is
made, coupled with an apology and a
promlse net le enter the pulpit again.

and who felt a great degrce of uncertainty
in the ability orthe new commander. There
was widespread discontent lu the ranks
In consequence of this change. Added le
this the Invincible strategists wero still
clamoring for n Torwerd movement, re
gardless or time or favorable opportunity-.
Iu vlew or these fltcts, It was deemed ab
solutely necesiary that a battle should lie
fought under the new leader at the earliest
possible moment. The first Vattle or Fred
ericksburg was the result. On the dav or
that I attle our brigade climbed lhe heights
en the southeastern Imnk orthe Happahiiu Happahiiu

should happen.
Among the number came Mike, it large,
powerful and courageous Irishman, it great
favorite In the regimeiit, and a until who
had always laucbelnt danger and had re re re
Jolced at thu oiipeitunlty of having "a
scrimmage" with the enemy.
On this occasion he annoeiod te be an en-
tltely dl lie rent man. He approached the
chaplain with tears In his eves; he gave
him it picture of his sister living In Port Pert
laud, his Catholic catechism, and ether
relics, and lu a chuked voice gain the ad ad

Catholic and 1 leve her dearly."
Soen the word "forward' rang along

succeeding nlglit and the early morning
abandonment and retreat across the rlver

most marked and startling case of pre
sentiment of coming dentil or disaster that
came under inj observation iu the army.
Army life and Its dangers made many or
us believe In fate that the decree of the
Oreat Auther had fixed the span of life for

te believe that it very thin curtain was

likely that, If the peer or 1 8811 take holidays
which they cannot all'erd te take, theso or

The ene Important question te be an
swered with icgard te the subject is: "De

doubtful that it single oue could be found
throughout the length and breadth or the
land who will net say that the proportion
has grown enormously within thu lust fifty,
and especially within the last thirty years.
Fitly years age "the se-called poertr
classes" did net, us classes, tiike stuiimer

folks did it. It was, indeed, only thu
very rich w he, us a class, did it. The " so se
called pouter classes" could net ullerd
te de it. New they can alterd le tle It,
and they de It. The summer holiday Is
no longer enjoyed solely bv the very rich,
or by ii few of theso of moderate fortune;
It Is most happily the common enjoy

kecqiers of summer resorts all pver the
