The Old Arbutlmot Warehouse and Two Others Swept Away. LOSSES FOOT UP OVER $200,000. ftovel and Dangerous Display of WaH paper Fireworks. HANI SMALLER FIRES WERE STARTED Liberty street was visited by another great fire yesterday. Two four-story ware houses were totally destroyed and another six-story building may have to come down. There were a number of panics, but no lives were lost. The total loss will not be over 5215,000, and if the Arbuthnot building does not have to come down the damages will fall to 5200,000. Nearly the entire loss is covered by insurance, except about 515,000 on the stock of John S. Roberts, and about the same amount on the Household A SJTAP SHOT AT THE Company's stock. The heavy losers are the Household Credit Company, Charles Ar buthnot, the John Harper estate, K. J. Braden & Co., James C. Lindsay & Co., and John S. Roberts. The fire started in the elevator shaft at the Household Credit Company's building, 723 and 725 Liberty street. The man who inspected the elevator had thrown a lighted match on Borne waste at the foot of the shaft The employes tried to put it out, but the flames spread rapidly up the elevator shaft, and at 10:50 yes terday morning the alarm was sound ed from box 17. The department resnonded, but it is declared by the specta tors that it was 15 minutes before any water was thrown. The first line of hose was run down Eighth street, but the flames broke out so fiercely that the firemen were driven back. The "Whole Bulldln In Flames. By this time the whole four stories of the building were one mass ot flames. In the two upper stories were stored paints and varnishes which threw off dense masses of smoke. The flames, which swept across Eighth street, soon set fire to No. 801 Lib erty and occupied by the butter and cheese firm of K. J. Braden & Co. and the hardre firm of James C. Lindsay & Co. The fire broke through the roof of the Household Credit Company, and a moment later the six-story warehouse of John S. Roberts, wholesale and retail wall paper dealer, next door below at 721 and 722 Liberty street, was afire. These three great buildings were like a roaring furnace Great crowds had collected from all sides, and when the general alarm was tent out thousands of people flocked to the confla gration. The crowds pressed close upon the firemen and the police were un able to hold them back until the hose began bursting right and left. This caused a general rush back. To add to the con sternation the force of the flames and the high wind soon began to carry up boards and pieces ot the. tin roofs and scatter them burning among the throng and on the ad joining buildings. Ehowers or Blazing Paper. Then from Roberts' place the flames would throw out bundles of 'paper. The heat would cause them to burst "and scatter the burning brands everywhere. Some would unroll, and veritable sheets of flame were floating in the air. It was like a great display of fireworks. These brands were carried by the wind southward. Many of the roofs to the wind ward were set on fire, while people on the street were in constant danger ot being burned up. As it was many pedestrians had their wraps and umbrellas burned. The flaming brands were carried as far as the Diamond Market. On Penn avenue all was consternation and people were moving out their household goods. In Oppenheimer & Hannach's shirt lactory, in the rear of 722 Penn avenue, there was a panic among the 100 girls em ployed there, but all got out safe. On that side, as well as the other, the roofs were crowded with people; some as spectators and'some to" protect property. At 1:15 the walls ot the'Household Credit" Company fell Into the s'treet, but no one was injured. The falling of this building drew the Jirbuthnot building out of plumb, about four inches. .The .weight of water has- also so buldged out the lower wall of the Braden building that it is In danger of fall ing down. Building Inspector Hoffman said this building would have to comedown, but he did not know whether the Arbuthnot warehouse could be saved. One Iioser Makes s Complaint. There was much talk about the fire de partment being slow in responding. John S. Roberts said: "There was no use of my place burning at all. It could have been saved if the fire department had done its work. It was 15 minutes bef6re there was any water thrown on the fire. I was also told that ten sections of hose burst." The losses, though large, are divided among n very few people. The list of dam aces is as follows: Household Credit Company, 733 and 725 Liberty avenue Los. $49,000 on stock and fixture: insurance, $23,600.

KEM ATiKABLE BUSINESS ENERGY BIS PLATED BT ONE OP THE FIBMS BURNED OUr TESTEBDAT. The Household Credit Company Secures a New Store TVhlle Their Former Stand Was Tet In Flain?s. The flames had not been quenched in the burning buildings or the Household Credit Co., 723 and 725 Liberty street, bofoie the gen tlemen composing that firm had matured a plan for the prompt continuance of their verv largo rurniture business. By noon yes terday they had rented the store. No. 414 Wood8tieet, and placed a capablo man in charge of preparations forits occupancy. Last evening Mr. I.inpman, the senior member of the firm, started for New York, his partner, Mr. Wildberg. departed for Grand' Rapids, and two of thoir buyers, Messrs. Barnes and Frauml, were sent to Cincinnati nnd Southern Indiana furniture factories. These gentlemen will buy a com plete stock ot ifiirniture, have it shipped to Pittsburg by express, and will have their new stole fully equipped for business by May 7. To a Veporter Mr. Lippman last evening remarked: "You are right, this Is quick work. But we do not leel like losing any bnsiness so long as we can retain It by ener getic measures. 'Our trade nas grpwn too fast forusjocaro to disappoint our patrons by delaying our reopening. We shall rise from the fire, and in a few days resume our trade as well stocked as before. But on Monday ont salesmen will be ready to wait on the tradeKt thenew quarters."- v The Bridge Over the Oar Tracks. THE MUSIC WORLD. What Is Expected From tfie Sub stitute for a May Festival. - LEADING LIGHTS OF THE EVENT. Artistic Merit of tbe Piano Eecital Ij William H. 'Sherwood. 1 BUDGET OP GENERAL NEWS ITEMS The Mozart Chab's festival concerts, with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, come to pass next week and will put the artistic finishing touches to a not overly brilliant season. They form, as a matter of course, much the most important event ot that same season. "Whether the programmes be altered as suggested last week or not, everybody wants to hear Mr. Nikisch's superb orchestra, Mr. D'Albert, Mr. and Mrs. Henschel and the rest of the- solo singers, to say nothing of our own much-prized chorus. So this is the time when the associate member (upon whose regular subscription the. club's finances mainly depend) realizes his own importance as he goes down to the box office and gets his seats before the common herd is permitted tp buy. Two ot the three coming concerts are within the regular series, and the associate, member, getting the.ru tor a half price paid at the beginning of tile seascfh, ought to feel happy. The proceeds of the additional tickets caused by having three big orches tral concerts thisyear are relied on to bring some profit, perhaps, whereas usually the two big orchestral concerts owing to the smallnes3 of hall and annual fee have re sulted in a deficit. As Mr. and Mrs. Henschel are to be heard not only in these imposing concerts, butalso in the cozy surroundings of an Art Society reception (Mondav, May 16), the reader will be interested in the following tribute, penned by no less an authority than Mr. H. E. Krehbiel in the Tribune, after their second sons recital in New York: The Henschel matinee was so thoroughly delight.ul that it gives the keenest pleasure to announce that the publio in terest manifested has been sufficient to per suade the management to give a supplemen tary recital uext Saturday. The entertain ment provided by the lemarkably gifted ar tist couple is of so lofty and refined a char acter that to see it so thoroughly appreciated as was the case vesterday is to keep one's faith In the ultimate triumnh of good art alive. There is nothing factitious about these re citals, which are conducted with perfect disnity, and in their way provide pleasure of the highest kind. Each recital is a highly suggestive lesson in musical history, as well as an entertainment, and we could wish that the number was extended to a dozen, if that were practicable. Yesterday's concert aroused enthusiasm at the very outset, not withstanding that the earliest music was decidedly archaic in flavor. The Boston Symphony Orchestra has been on its spring tour now lor one week, closing its several series of concerts in the seaboard cities with an amount of enthusiastic ap plause from public and critics that is truly extraordinary. Nothing but superlatives will answer for even the more conservative critics in summing up the season's work and present status of Mr. Nikisch's splendid band. Sir, Sherwood's Piano Recital. Mr. "William H. Sherwood was warmly greeted by a choice, if not alarmingly nu merous audience, at Curry Conservatory last Tuesday evening, who held in their hands the following programme: Bzethovex Sonate, Op. 111. Bach "Echp," (in the manner of a French overture.) f Impromptu in F. sharp, Op. 86. Chopin ( Scherzo in B flat minor. Op. JL Faganisi Liszt "La Campanolla." Alksis IlOELAEfnEB March in D flat. Op. 39. Schubert Moment Musicale, Op. $4, No. 3. GoTTScnAtK "Tremolo." , Rrv Cavatina and March, from Suite, Op 9L Lcdvio Norman "Tillegnan," Op. 14, So. 9. Gustav scnuMANN Tarentelle, Op. 1L Wagker Liszt "lsolden's Liebes-Tod." Louis Maas "Volkstanz," Op. 13, No. 6. Liszt Slephisto Waltz. (Daucein the village tavern, f rom Lienau's "Fjnst") Mr. Sherwood was just out of the doctor's hands, almost too ill to appear at all. And that would be a heavy programme for even a well man to play on a weak-toned "baby" grand. Small wonder that Mr. Sherwood quickly granted a request to play Schu mann's "Bird as Prophet," by substituting it for the trying Isolde music. Small won der, too, that he fonnd it too great a task, at the very beginning, to interpret in all its breadth and depth the last and greatest of Beethoven's pianoforte sonatas. Presently, however, Mr. Sherwood began to warm up to his work, and for the moment forgot his own condition. So the Chopin Scherzo was brilliantly given, and the fa miliar "Campanella" found our foremost native virtuoso himself again. From this point to the closing clash of Liszt's wanton, riotous tone picture. Mr. Sherwood's play ing was full of technical achievement, of musicianly conception and rich emotional content Mr. Sherwood's hold upon the esteem of the local music-lovers was strengthened last week, despite all the unfavorable cir cumstances. He will always find awelcome here. A Success in the East End. The newly organized East End Musical Club made its first bow to the public last Friday evening at Masonic Hall, Collins avenue, with such a degree of success, both musical and monetary, as to augur well for the future. Andreas Romberg's interesting cantata, "The Lay of the Bell," was the important work of the evening. Its performance en listed, besides the chorus of about 50 voices under Mr. J. C. Breil's baton, these solo ists: Mr. Max Mansmann, Miss M. Kelly, Mrs. O. J. Sturgis, Miss L. Wagner, Mr. R. T. Knox, Mr. J. C Sweitzer, Mr. K. TT. Liddell. Mr. C B. Lamr and Mr. E. M. "Wagner, with Miss Agnes M. 1 Liddell at the pianoforte. On the intro ductory miscellaneous programme appealed several of these names, and also Miss Paul ine Lemmer; Mr. Lfluis Doeblin and Mr. George "Wasner. About the only fault to be found with the programme was its undue length and variety. Two or three numbers could well have been spared; especially the mandolin and guitar piece, which was wholly out of place. For next season the new club's plans are these: In October, a "Columbus Concert," presenting a new ode to our discoverer by Mr. Pontius, of Mansfield, O. ; in December, "The Blind Girl of Cast! Cuille," a new dramatic cantata by Director Joseph C Brpil, with orchestra; inFebruary, a ballad concert; in May, a light opera, fully mounted, with orchestra. This looks like a most enterprising plan, such as should invite publio support and assure tbe permanence of the East End Musical Club. . The Dnqneane Contervatory Programme. The pleasant series of recitals at the Du quesne Conservatory of Musio came to a close last Thursday evening, when the fol lowing interesting programme was pre sented: Wilm..

Mr. Beveridge Webster held yesterday the tenth of the valuable weekly discus sions and recitals at his rooms. The inter est has increased steadily, and now 60 mem 'bers are on the roll. The lecture subjects thus far taken up 'have been: "L, "Tone Perception as a Modification of Time Perception;" IT., "Opera Not a 'Form' in Music;" IIL, "Eolution of the Minor Mode;" IV., "Form as a Multiple of Time Units;" V., "The Performer as Interpreter;" VL. "The Friad as' the Smallest Possible Harmonic Unit." Yesterday's recital programme included the following numbers: Etudein Gflat, Chopin Miss Lewis; Andante spianato and Polonaise, Chopin, Miss AVebster; Andante from the Suite, op. 34. Franz Eics, Miss Newcomb; "Im Herbst," Eobert Franz, Miss Kaderly; Gondoliers from the Suite, op. 34, Ries, Miss Newcomb: Etude in D flat; Liszt, Mrs. J. H.

The following news came from Lotadon by cable to The Dispatch last night: The management of the Wagner Festival, to Jbc held in Bayreuth next July, gives notice that every seat for the entire scries of representations has been sold, which means that the committee has already received 28,000 in hard cash, of which 4,000 was sent from England and about 3,000 from America. A large number of tickets'are in the hands of speculators, who paid 20 marks each for them, and hope to resell at GO or more.

The Itepublican Convention of tha Sixteenth district of Ohio, to be held jn Salem next Tuesday, promises-to be inter estingly If notaggicssively contested. There, are five candidates for nomination for Con gressional election and the thres counties are somewhat unevenly divided. Mr. N. B. Billingsly, of New Lisbon, one of the delegates, was a guest at tha Du quesne Hotel last night, and spoke to some length upon the coming convention. "The Sixteenth district is Major McKin ley's old district;" said he, "and of coursa the nomination means election to the nomi nee. The contestants are-T. K. Morgan, ot Alliance. Judge King and Judse Johnston, of Youncstown, Patrick Monihan, of Ma honing county, and myself, who am from Columbiana countjr. Stark county sends 95. delegates. Mahoning countyv5G, and Col umbiana county 71. Morgan claiffls' the entire vote of Sfark county, and declares he has them solid.

There' has been consid erable jrorfc done by the candidates and tha district has been thoroughly canvassed." JOKES ON A FIGTTBE OF JUSTICE. Exeter Academy Students Carrying Their Pranks to a Giddy Height. Exeter, April 30. ISpeeiat. J Some time last night the residence of the principal of Phillips Exeter Academy, the Town Hall and the sidewalks about town were painted In variegated colors by students. Surmount ing tbe cupola of the Town Hall is afigure of Justice, TJpon its base, in large letters, were painted remarks referring in an in sulting manner to the principal of tha academy and several other members of tha faculty, and also to the Chief of Police, ia the most indecent language. On the prin cipal's, residence, painted in very large red letters, and executed in a very artistic man ner, are the words: "Saloon C. E. Pish, proprietor." The action is probably from the fact that Mr. Fish has been vigorously enforcing tha liquor laws. The other members ot the faculty whose names are painted n tHa Town Hall nre also members of Law and Order League. The result of last spring's riotous demonstration's is a smaller attend ancn at the academy this year. Exeter students love a good joke, and have in yeara past'attempted exceedingly hazardous feats, this being the third time they have painted the cupola. The class of- '83 sealed the giddy heights of the Town Hall and shrouded the goddess in a glarins red petti coat. The class of '84 covered the goddess with a coat of red paint. WINE WILL 3E IS ABUKDAHCE, The California Craps Crop Expected to 15 Larger TI1411 Ever Before. One of the greatest grape crops in Cali fornia's history is expected to be yielded thiiycar. and as a result more wine of Cali fornia vintage will be placed npon tha American market than ever before. So said S. T. Bl.iir, a Golden. Gate Stata wine grower, who passed through Pittsburg last night en route, to Gntham, on the Penn sylvania fast line. Continuing, Mr. Blair, who is an enthusiastic Californian, said tha wine growers of his Stata felt sangnine of the ultimate recognition of their product as wine of superior qnality. "Our vines yield more prolifically each year and the grapo grown, in our estimation, as it is in the esti mation of many wine experts, is nearly, if not quite as good as the grape of the Euro pean countries. There nre improvements made each season by experimental grafting with the vines and the blending of different classes of the grape family, and it i3 4Jut natural lor us to an ticipate the growing of a'grape that will be superior by lar to the kihdj.jiow grown. The vineland is rapidly being cultivated and planted, and the vineyards are'yearly bearing better than the previous one. Tho. winegrowers are obtaining valuable experi ence, and it is safe to predict that in tha course of a few years the wine yield will be npon an equal "footing with the yields of Southern France."
