The Worklngmen's Freo Circulating Li
brary was formally opened te the public,
en Saturday evening, with appropriate ex
ercises, held In the large and handsomely
furnished library room, en tbe third fleer
or the Stackhouse building, Ne. 28 Eaat
King King street. In spite of the threat
ening weather the attendance was large.
The audience was intelligent and apprecia
tive, paying the clesest attention te the sev
eral sneakers and warmly applauding
their dibits.
The meeting was called te order at 8
o'clock by the chairman, Jehn F. Little,
and the exercises wcroeponcd with prayer,
led by Rev. O. Elvln llaupt, pastor of
Grace Lutheran church.
Tiie chairman then introduced Gee.
Relmensnyder, esq., who dollvered an ad
dress upon tbe " Origin and History of the
Library." It was with pride and pleasure
that the speaker, in the uame of Hamilton
Assembly, K.ef L., bade the audience wel
come te the public opening of a circulating
library, the bonefltsand privileges of which
are te be absolutely froe te all ineiubers of
all labor organizations In Lancaster county.
The idea of founding such a library was
first made known te tbe Bpeaker by Mr.
Jno. J. Beyle, a leading meinber of the
assembly, and a man te whose strength of
character, natural intellectual power and
sleepless energy the onterprlso chletly
ewes its success. At Mr. Boyle'a request
tbe speaker drew up a plan, which the
assembly approved. The enterprise was
made public less than two months age. and
yet this evening Hamilton Assembly Is
able te open te the public this large, well
lighted, handsemely furnished room
lecated In the control of the city ; it is
able te open te all members of labor organ
ization, without money and without price,
and te all ethers at the merely nominal fee
of fifty cents a your, ilve large boekcisos,
containing already 1,000 velumes, mnny of
them handsomely bound and containing
the very cream of literature. Among the
members of the assembly who wero most
active in the neble work the seaker made
special mention, in addition te Mr. Beyie,
of Jehn F. Ltttle, the chairman, Geerge J.
Helm, Win. Shutt, Fred Slirem and Hugh
Costelle. Among the most liberal contrib
utors at home wero Williamson A Fester.
E. K. Martin, A. Herr Smith, Walter
M. Franklin, Jehn A. Ceylo, Jehn 1).

have money te pnrchase wero en our
shelves, together with nil tliose which liave

collected, we would possess at le.ist 1,500
voiumes."
The chairman next introduced Ld. K.
Martin, esq., who dolivered en eloquent
address upon " Tiie Press and the Laber
Movement." Neither press nor pulpit,
nor the great body of the poeplo te whom
these appeal, can lenger ignore tiie fact
that organized labor is advancing by rapid
atrides te a legitimate leadership in this
country, when by thelr own efforts the
members ei sucu organizations ieuiiu iroe
tmbllc libraries for the education of them
selves and of their fellows amemg the tell
ing masses. The (lavs et strikes. locK-euis

uldress. Drosented the library en behalf of

en AssemLly, Ne. C.48.2, of the Knights of

ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
Net Given Feed, He Fires tlie Bam.
Steer, Cevrn and Calves PerlaU-Other
Valuable Contents are Consumed.
On Sunday afternoon another large barn
was destroyed by fire. It belonged te
liavld II uber and was situated en that gen
tleman's farm Just east of the vlllage of
Willow Street, near the brick Mennonlte
meeting house. It was but three fields
from tbe barn of Aldus Mylln, which was
burned en last Monday evening. The
farm was occupied by Mr. Huber's son,
David, who was recently married.
Mr. Huber and wlfe went away visiting
yesterday and left behind, Harry Rhodes,
a twelve-year-old hired boy, and Mary
Strohman, a girl about the same age. About
4 o'clock In the afternoon a large man, with
red whiskers, who looked like a tramp,
called at the house. He asked for some
thing te eat and the boy told him he could
net have anything. The stranger started
towards the barn, which he was about en
tering when the boy called te htm net te
go in. This made the man angry and pick
ing up a stick he ran after the boy,
who lied te the house. The man went
back te the barn and went in. In a few
moments Bmeke was seen Issuing from the
building and it was consumed in a short
time. Thore is llttle doubt that the stranger
et fire te the barn. Where lie managed te
go afterwards, no ene known, as he was
net seen again by any persen In the neigh
borhood. Ameug the first persons at the bam were
Andrew Flndley and Jacob Hurnlsh, who
liveclose. Thov were quickly followed
by Christian Miley, or this city, who was
Visiting Aldus Mylln, and ethers. The
men at ence weut te work te save the
live stock which was in the stable
and included three cows, a horse,
seventeen fat steers and two calves.
They succeeded iu rescuing all but five
steers, two cows and two calves. One of
the peer steers breke from his fastenings In
the stable and ran out Inte the barn yard.
The burning ilesh was railing from him In
pieces and Ills horns wero en tire. He
dropped dead in a few minutes. A cow
ran from the stable out te the water trough
where It dropped dead,: and.x another
steer was se terribly burned that it had te
be killed. Besides the live stock a market
wagon, let of harness, hay, straw and ever
two hundred bushels of corn wero lest.
There was a shed near the barn In which
the wagons were kept, and near it was a
corn crib in which was evor four liundted
bushels of com ; both of theso buildings
were burned. When the men who wero
trvlng te save overythlng they could saw
that the cerncrlb would be burned thev bo be
gan working te nave the corn. They
threw ever two hund red bushels of It out
of reach of the flames and it was saved,
while the remainder, which It was Impos
sible te gel away, was burned.
The less by thofire is estimated at about
$3,000. Although the elder David Huber
ewned the building the contents that wero
dostreyod was thn preperly of Ids son,
David. The building wes insured in the
Penn Mutual company for a sum that will
net cover the less by any means. Thore
was no Insurance en the contents.
A LAMP EXPLODES.
It Fires n Beem In the American Heuso
nnd Causes Excttomeut.
There was quite a bit of oxcitementabeut
the American hotel en North Queen street
en Saturday oveulng, when a fire that
frightened the guests and everybody else,
and might have been very destructive, oc
curred. Shortly before 8 o'clock Onte llru llru
baker and Alfce Finefreck, who are cm cm
pleyed at the hotel, wero up stairs in their
room, which is en the second fleer in the
oxtremo roaref the hotel. They wero dress
ing preparatory te going out, when sud sud
deuly the coal oil lamp, which
was sitting en a small table, exploded with
great force, and the burning oil ran about
the room. The girls were terribly frightened
and they scarcely knew what te de. They
ran from the room and told W. S. Weaver,
the baitender, and ethors what was wrong.
The heuse in a very short time was filled
with smoke and everybody was excited.
Mr. Weaver and ene of the colored
men ran up stairs anil made their
way, as best they could, though the
smeke, which was almost stilling, te tiie
room. They found that the greater part of
the lire was in tbe northwestern corner of
the room, although it was burning pretty
lively iu dlfTereut places. With buckets
of water they get the flames under con
trol. In the moantlme an alarm had been
struck from the box in Centra Square. Tiie
whole tire department responded, and the
street iu front of the hotel was crowded
with peeple who were prevented from
going into the hotel by tbe police.
The smeke was then pouring out of the
front windows and it looked as though
there was still some danger. A stream
was put In by company Ne. 3, and all that
remained of the tire was put out. The
room was pretty badly damaged. The
weed work of both windows was almost
burned away and the panes of glass were
all broken out. The deer was almost
burned through. Most of the bed clothing
and a trunk containing wearing apparel,
wero destroyed. The carpet was burned
se as te render it worthless, and the bed
was badly charred.
The less te the girls will be quite heavy,
as all the clothing except what they were
wearing was burned. Itofero the lire Miss
Flucfrerk was the ewner or a u atch, but
It could net be found allcrwards, and is
supposed te liave been stolen. Some of
the peeple stepping at the hotel were se
frightened that they thought thn whole
building would be burned, and they bad
thelr tilings packed and were ready te
leave.

Twe Yeung Men Damiiice Heuso With
Ilrlcks mid Stones.
There was a very llvely fracas at Frolberg
and Locust streets betwoen 11 and 12 o'clock
en Saturday night. It appears that soveral
young men of the vicinity had a keg of
beer and after it was drank the splgget
was missing. Daniel Schwebel accused
Jehn Peterman of stealing it. This led te a
quarrel. Schwebel went Inte his house and
Peterman nnd Clmrles Klrohner followed
him. Scliwobel's father, CharlesSchwebel,
went tohlsnssistanceand helped te put the
men out of the heuse. They tlien picked
up stones and brickbats and threw them
against tlie deer, breaking lu the panel.
When tlie elder Schwebel went home they
weut te his heuse and breke In tlie
windows. Werd was sent te the station
heuse and Officer Hcidig went after the
young men. When they found they were
te be arrested they lied. The oflicer ran
after thorn down Lime street, and between
Middleand Locust they ran into tlie hands
of ChiofBerger, who, with his wlfe, was
en ids way home. When the chief saw
that the olllcer was after the man he knew
that they wero wanted for something and
he took them into custody. This morning
Mayer Clark heard thorn for being
drunk and disorderly. Klrcbner wus
discharged upon the payment of costs
and Peterman was sent te jail for 5 days.
It was shown that Peterman was mere te
blame than tlie ethor man.
Before Alderman Uarr Schwebcl has
onteicd suit against the men.charging thorn
with malicious mischief and assault and
battery. They will be heard en Friday.
