Montrose, Aug. 31. Durlnff the noon
hour today an alarm of Arc wna
pounded, to which our three Are com
panies nnd several hundred citizens
responded. An Incipient blnzc hid
been discovered on the roof of the old
Moran blacksmith shop, on Chestnut
street, occupied by Edward l-'essenden,
blacksmith, nnd S. A. Dawley, waKon
m'aker. The good work of the firemen,
ably as'slsted by a citizens' bucket brl
Bade, extinguished the fire before any
serious damage was done. The dry
weather had made the root of the
bulldlns like tinder, and It Is believed
that some burning paper from a bon
fire nearby had floated throiiRh the air
and alighted on the roof, setting the
shingles nflre. The wonder Is that the
building did not burn to the ground,
together with "Camp's barracks,"
which It adlolns.

From Storms and Signs.
September In the msln will prove a lovely
month in America, as there will be twenty high
flood day, and tho great planets will all be In
position to favor American Industry and prosper
Hy; but the partiality shown by Nature to
America will almost cause the low-ebb' xltal
forces in the old country to declare a revolu
tion against all peace, properity and progress;
which may cause much sorrow ana great con
sternation! Our Augmt "predictions" of the
"assignation ol rulers" the "discovery of the
new comet" the "coming ot the tcrrihle heat
waxes" etc., etc., were all fulfilled! and now
we want everybody everywhere to mafce note ot
our forecasts for the months of October, No em
ber and Heceinhcr; as there are many strange
and unparalleled coming occurrences recorded in
the adiance sheets ot Planetary Influences, that
we now hold in our possession. The "good and
healthful" planet are all ncarlng a position in
the heavens where they will declare war against
disease microbes and all those afflicted vilth con
sumption or any lingering contagious disease
will b banished from their home and society!
This is a terrible thought we will admit: but
what the Planets say they will do, they always
do It; and we have reasons to believe that they
will soon commence to do Just what we have
already atoted above.
THE STORMS AND SIQXS.
The greatest danger from regular rtorm per
iods during the current month will be Wtween
the Sth and lllh, and the 17th and 23'); and thi
KTeateet danger from the reactionary stmin per
iods will be between the 1st and Ith, the 12lh
nnd lllth, and the 24th and SOth. The "Itanest
Moon" falling thia month from the 7lh to the
lllh, will have a great tendency to offset to
considerable extent the terrible natural stoim
conditions thit will exist at that ttm; as the
plsntts Vulcan, Moon, Er.rth, Vrnus and Mars
will nil take part In this battle of the elements.
Dwellers along the souih seas, islamls, uul:
coat, Atlantic and Pacific coasts mut watch
out for hurricanes, tldjl waves nnd cyclones this
month. Navigators on the great lakes mut alio
watch out for destructive storms. The southc.rn
and western states may get more than their
shore of floods, tornadoes, cyclones, etc. The
beautiful planet Venus and the Moon will be
vi ry near each other In the early morning of
the 19th Inft. This sight will be well worth
one's time and attention to see. Strange elec
trical Jtorms will he liable to appear in the
eostern and middle stall, and heat waves and
cold wavu will run to excess throughout the
Amcilcin continent. Watch out for strange
llfhts In the northern skies; and strange ap
pearing circles around the sun and the moon.
COMINO HVENTS FOU SKITEMUKlt.
The planets arc in the right position this
month to f.nor American industry, and make
the foreign countries ferl llko doing us all the
harm they can. Tho low-ebb vital forces will
rule the old world nnd aful crimes wilt be
committed over there. Americana must watcli
nut for foreign afl'ictlon. Itulers will Hill be In
gnat danger of assassination: and England max
leceive an affliction. Another comet is headed
for earth and will soon be sighted by the great
telescopes. Meteors will fall to earth In many
places and cause great consternation. Feer
epiilimlcs will incrense in virulence; and tho
plugue germs may again attack the American
oasts. Our president should be well guarded
ihls month na the cil planetary Inlhn nccs will
run mostly to the deitruction of rulers. The
sun tpots will increase in number and rami
great mogiuticnl and electrical iliattirluneea in
terfirlng with the workings of all magnetic and
eWctric appliances. The "Dlood Tappers" will
appear again this month and cause the death
of miny cattle. Watch out for some new dis
ease microbe to make its appearance this month
as the planets are in the right position to rnr
in a grtat new cttlictlon. The Florida coast
will recehe aillictlon by wind and wave. Epl
demies of scarlet fever and diphtheria will sweep
over Amitica.
VAU' AM.E INTOnMATIOS.
The best days to perform surgical operations
during the current month will be the 6th, th,
1.1th, lPth, 2Vh ard 2Tlh; and the next best
days will b- the 3d, 12th, 17th, 20th and 2sth.
Always avoid the low-ebb clays for pel forming
surgical operations as there is great danger in
operating upon low-ebb born persona at low-ebb
time, The Ust days of the whole month for
to flh will bo the th, 13th and 27th: and the
net hest days will be the Mb. fith, 10th, 12lli,
IRth, 25th and 2h. Fish caught at any other
time during the cm rent month will not be in
condition foi man to eat. Fish caught in tho
faino sign that jou were born always act as
poison to your system. The .'Hi, Sth, 13th and
27th will be very fortunate clays for mankind
in general. Everybody should avoid making
contracts on Frhhy, the 21t. For when to sow
winter grain, gath:r fruit, kill purk, pot flowers,

Yesterday witnessed c:ultc a number
of changes In position In The Tribune's
Educational Contest. The principal
placo of contention recently has been
tne fifth position, and the leader oc
cupying It has been changed almost
dully. Yesterday Harry Reeso dis
placed Fnnnle 13. Williams, of Poek
vlllc, and now leads her by four points.
Mlsa Williams Is still two points ahead
ot Kugcne Boland. Sidney W. Hayes,
who was In tenth placo yesterday,
advanced one niche, passing Miss
Grace Simrell, of Carbondale, whom
he lends by three points. Richard
Roberts Jumped from thirteenth to
eleventh place, and leads his nearest
follower, Edward Murray, by three
points.
There Is yet a first-class opportu
nity for the ambitious young man or
woman who Is contemplating entering
this contest. There are many persons
who would be willing to help a deserv
ing youth to advnnr.e himself if tho
motive Is explained to them and the
means to thfit end set forth carefully.
There Is no time HVo tho present to
begin to help yourself. For fuller de
tails of this Educational Contest, read
the descriptive article on the fourth
page of this morning's Tribune.
A WONDERFUL CURE OF

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York. Aug. SI. Except for some rather
uctlvo helling of sugar and People's lias, there
was not a particle of animation in todaj's stock
market. Tho sympathetic effect of the weak
ness of these two specialties wiped out the alight
uK-nliig gains in some of the international rail
vnjid Mtnek-H. Attain at the close there was suf
ficient demand for the short interest which nxs
averce to Icawng contracts unooered over tne
three davs' holiday, to stiffen the prices of some
of the railroad, but the general tone was easy
owing to a ljte drive against People's Gas.
Among those to show notable flrmnrsa were
Southurn Pacific, New York Central and Haiti
more and Ohio. Tobacco and DrooklJU ltapid
Transit were eak during the morning, but
parti yrecovcred later in the day. Chicago Ter

quarterly dividend of 2 per cent Pennsylvania
suffered somewhat from the effect of its state
ment of earnings for July, the Increase la net
earnings on tho Hnj cad ot Pittsburg and Erie
directly operated being: practically offset by tho
decrease on the lines' west of those points di
rectly operated. The St. i'aul and Omaha also
returned a largo decrease In gross earirinjs far
July. The Chesipeake and Ohio showed a hand
some net increase in earnings for July as all of
tho coal roads hava done. As the activci demand
for coal is a factor in keeping up operating ex
