Vilkes-I5arrc, Aug. 27. Tho Times Bay a; Incendiaries caused the destruction o many thousand dollars' worth of prop erty In Exeter borough early this morning. The conllagratlon was the llercest and most disastrous which 1ms ever occurred In the town and before the blaze could be extinguished threo large business blocks were laid In ashes, entailing a loss that will reach fully ?ir.,ooo. The fire was discovered at 2 a. m. In the vacant store room of the block owned by the Mackln estate. Anthony rturlock, who kept a hotel In the upper side of the block. Is the man who first saw the blaze and he at once gave the alarm. The members of the Exeter Hose company reached their hose house promptly, but when they arrived there they were surprised to And the hose cart nailed fast to the floor. A strong board had been run between two spokes of the wheel nnd then nailed securely to the floor. After some difficulty the firemen succeeded In loosening the cart from Its Imprisonment, and with all haste they hurried to tho water plug nearest the lire. There they were still further surprised to discover the plug stuffed with burlap, stones and dirt. It took several minutes to clean It nnd when It was finally done they proceed ed to unwind the hose from the cart. But hero again was the nefarious work of the Incendiaries. The hose was found to be cut through In various places, so that It was altoccther un serviceable. Great excitement now reigned. The borough owned but one set of hose and since this was destroyed the fire would rage unchecked and probably destroy half the town If aid were not forthcoming. In the emer gency word was sent to West Plttston find Wyoming for assistance. HELP ARRIVES. In tho meantime the flames made furious headway and when the two companies from West Plttston and Wyoming arrived the block In which the lire originated was destroyed and the flames had made rapid Inroads on the adjoining block, owned by E. J. Maakin, of Plttston. This also was soon In ashes and the blaze extended to the block owned and occupied by Charles Moses. Although the firemen worked valiantly, Moses' building was also entirely consumed before the fire was gotten under control. I3urlock, who kept a hotel In the up per part of the block owned by the Mackln estate, lost everything. His personal loss Is JSOO and he carried no insurance. Gomer Morgan, a barber, who moved only yesterday from For est City, also lost all his stock and fix tures. The E. J. Mackln property was occupied by Joseph Chaklees ns a dwel ling and Charles Kuslck as n saloon. The building Is a total wreck and Kuslck's loss of furniture, fixtures and stock Is $1,400. He had no Insurance. The Mackln estate was insured for ?2.r00 with Hlleman & Flannery's agen cy. E. J. Mackin's block was Insured for $2,000. Mr. Moses carried $2,500 In surance on his building, but had not any on his furniture. Moses' full loss Is probably about $4,000 and that of tho Macklns will reach eight or nine thou sand. It Is not known what object the in cendiaries had In perpetrating their crime, nor is there any clue as to who the criminals are. FACTO KY VILLI'.

MARKBD INCREASE ALL AROUND The Slnrllnc of Works, Incrcnso In Ilnndi Employed nnd Advnnca In Wages nnd in Prlco of Products Arc tho UncaurnglnR Fonturci--Crop l'rospccts Aro rirleht--Strcrii;tIi Is Shown In Wool nnd Iron Markets. Now York, Aug. 27. R. G. Dun & Co., In their Weekly Review of Trade, to morrow will say: Speculative markets have their turns of reaction, but business has none this season, gaining with a steadiness which Is most gratifying. The starting of works. Increase In hands employed, advance In wages and In prices of pro ducts nnd the heavy movement ot crops are facts before which all specu lative Influences have to bow. Tho week's dispatches mention sixteen iron works which have started against one closing, fifteen woolen works starting, nnd so on In many other branches, while many more works have Increased force and many are preparing to re sume, and some have Increased wages. While these things continue with grain rising and going abroad In enormous quantities money markets have rea son for abounding confidence and speculative markets for strength. Crop prospects are contradictory, as usual at such a time, but It Is noteworthy that none of them Indicate anything less than an ample supply of the great staples. Wheat rose over six cents Saturday with exaggerated reports of Injury, fell nearly eight cents, advanced four cents and then declined sharply, closing one cent lower for the week. That some harm was done to spring wheat In three states appears, but no accounts en titled to respect Indicates damage re ducing tho yield below (540,000,000 bush els, which would be 25,000,000 larger than any other crop except that of 1891. In spite of great lack of cars wheat receipts were 4,349,594 bushels for tho week, nnd for four weeks 15,589,681 bushels against 14,896,947 last year: and Atlantic exports, flour Included, though somewhat checked by higher prices, were 3,568,369 for the week against 2, 207,516 last year, and for four weeks 13,387,637 bushels against 7,310,177 last year. Receipts of corn bear strong tes timony to the seriousness of foreign needs, being 6,840,144 bushels for the week against 2,813,919 last year, and Atlantic exports In four weeks have been 10,466,478 bushels against 5,617,110 last year. The price rose lc. for the week. HEAVY SUPPLIES WILL. BE NEED ED. Sympathy with other markets, rather than reports of injury which capable authorities deem not Important, ac counts for the advance of three-sixteenths in cotton. But the mills aro resuming work with a rush and will require heavy supplies of material to meet the large demand for goods which has advanced the prices of many. A general replenishment of stocks by dealers will call for heavy additional supplies. The wool market also reflects in greater strength' and further ad vance In some grades, the heavy buy ing of woolens which has set many mills a work night and day and caused makers of many grades to withdraw thetii entirely from the order market. But while the mills have been buying somewhat more, most of them hold large stocks and the trading has been mainly speculative between dealers. At last demand has so far overtaken capacity of Iron works that prices are growing stronger, Bessemer and grey forge 23 cents higher at Pittsburg and pig In eastern markets as much strong er because rebates and concessions are stopped. Billets ave $1 per ton higher, structural angles, bars and plates about ns much, rods $1.50 at $20.50 and wire nails five cents per keg 'her. The demand Is also heavy for merchant pipe nnd steel and sheets are very active. Tho ndvance In iron and steel prices average 2.7 per cent, for the week. Buy ing of ore continues heavy, 400,000 tons in two weeks at Cleveland and among the Iron works starting are four more furnaces. While tin Is weaker at 13.73 cents with large arrivals, copper Is held at 11 cents for lake by large orders and deliveries and lead Is scarcely ob tainable below 4 cents, sales having been heavy. Connellsville coke works increased output to 123,334 tons for the week. Hides aro again stronger at Chicago, though packers no longer lead, but country hides are called scarce al though cattle receipts at the four chief markets, 151,400 head, are the largest for the corresponding week since 1892. Failures for the week have been 223 in the United States against 1SS last year and 34 In Canada against 33 last year. BROTHERS REUNITED. Separated in Childhood nnd Moot Thirty Years Later. Cleveland, O., Aug. 27. Wllllaim Beebe, a butcher, 39 years old, lived with his parents and his younger brother James, In Elmlra, N, Y 38 years ago. James ran away and drift ed to Buffalo.

POWDER Absolutely puro ROTAL SAKINO POWDER CO., N(W YORK. THE MARKETS. Wnll Street Review Now York, Aug. 27. Today's market was strong throughout and tho upward tendency ot prices was practically unin terrupted by reactions. Anything like a recession in the bids for stocks elicited no offerings and led to n lull In the activity which soon gave place to renewed buying and a lusher level of prices. Many In active stocks were sought out and moved In tho market, all at notablo gains. The movement even touched some of the ex tremely low priced almost discarded Is sues. Tho strength of tho market was apparently based on a renewal of full conlldcnco In tho Improving tendency of general business. Some of the railroads are making good returns, but all are showing Increased earnings. Fuller re ports of tomo western grain carrying :oadd show that tho total Improvement In their buslne?a Is due In large part to tho movement of general merchandise west ward than to tho movement of grain east ward and this 1b taken as an Important Index of the Improvement In general bus lnesa. The continued ease In .the money markat In view of theso evidences of awakening industrial acti lty causes sur prise, but cheap money Is an Incentlvo to speculation. The break In grain was regarded in tho stock market as proving tho safety and abundance of tho grain crops and Incited special activity In tho Granger shares. Tho total sales were 373, 113 shares.
