Immediately ad- .'': aiag tho stable was a huge resero r belonging to the Minneapolis Gas l .'ht Company, in which was stored c,v00,u00 feet of illuminating gas. To keep the flames from reaching this was the hazardous undertaking of a large detachment of the fire department. The fireman did their work well, and although tne intense heat set fire to the cupola of the building, the fire was kept from the highly inflammable material witnin. Next to the livery stable toward the Seventh street side were several small frame dwellings and a tenement row which, with the greater portion of their contents, were destroyed. While clearing up the wreck after the fire Myron C. Finley, a lineman employed by the Brush Electric Light Company, came in contact with a live wire and died while being taken to the hospital.

Sumo time after midnight the boil wore removed from tbe fish plates which hold the rails together and the plates tuken from the rails at the top of Austin bill, just vest of the city.

The train was the snuo ono that was In the awful wreck List fall Tbero wore soventy-flve passengers on the train and all we?e morn or loss shaken up, cut and bruised, but fortunately none uro bsdly injured. 1 ''Iranian Thomas Crow was thrown several feet from the engine and hi neck was broken.

Tho same kind of a plot was attempted at Vicksburg l-.ist woek. Oue of the trackmen fortunately found that -tho plate? had been removed from tho rails in the same manner as they were that night and in time to prevent an ao sidont SHOWS TRADE SOVXD. Withstands the Kffeet of Both Strikes and Turin Talk. R a Dun & Co.'s Weekly lievlow of Trade says: When circumstances are duly weighed tho strength and soundness ot business In this country are amazing. With tho socond city in the country in the hands of a lawless und murderous mub, besides many other cities and towns, with railway traffic almost entirely stopped over tho vast area between Toledo and the Pacific, with Presidential proclamations declaring tbe existence of an insurrection and tho passionate answer ordering half a million men to stop work, with a prolonged strike of coal miners not fully ended In many States, and with differences between the House and Senate on the tariff question so wide that duties afectlng mining and manufactures cannot be anticipated, industries and trade nevertheless vent on with sublime confidence that tho people and their government would soon restoro order. The shrinkage of busiuei and tho depression of values have been unexpectedly small, the failures relatively few and unimportant, and thcrb are even signs In some Industries of actual progress toward recovery from previous troubles, JOY IN WASHINGTON. Reception of News that the Strike Had Been Declared Off. The telegraph, says a Washington correspondent, has brought to Washington no more Welcome now9 for many a day than tbe dispatch from Chirago telling tbat Debs bad declared the strike off Tho Information was at once flashed to tho White House, tbe Capitol and all of the departments. The evenln; papers rushed extras on the street, and half an hour after the first reception of the news everybody in tho city knew of it In consequence there was joy and gratification throughout the town. The President received the news after calling tho Cabinet to order, and announced the news to tho Cabinet himself, 1 te news had an electrlc-'Igbt effect on the gloom which has pervaded the White House for a week. And the cloud of care which has darkened the President's face melted away before .ho warmth of the first smile his advisers had seen for a fortnight. BIG EXPRESS ROBBERY.

Robbers intercepted the express wagon, held up tbe driver, took out the safe containing tbe money, pat It Into their wagon and m?de off to tbe hills. Ever man within a radios of ten miles li out bunting for tho robbers and It seems impossible that they can escape. Looking for it Remedy. There Is some difference of opinion among Congressmen as to whether tbe commission to be appointed by tho President to investigate the causes of tbe Chicago strike will Interfere with the investigation proposed by tho House Committoe on Interstate Commerce Alembers of the committee bold that tbero will bo no Interference, since the work of tho Congressional committee will bo for the purposo of recommending legislation to prevent strikes. It was developed during the discussion in committee of the advisability of a Congressional Investigation that more than ono member of tho body wilt go luto tbe work with views which may bring ai Mil decided results. The members referred to think that the laws governing contracts with employes of companies engaged in interstate commerce should provide that corporations should not dischargo men or cut down their wages without due notice, and that, on the other han', men should not be allowed to stop wor' without notice to their employers. They woul I not Interfere with the rights of employes to stillio in a body or otherwise, but would prevent the sudden stranding of commerce, as well as sympathetic strikes entered upon without notice. Thore Is a belief that some teatares Of the maritime laws regulating contracts ml;ht be advantageously applied to interstate commerce.

AND

StomaehtfLiver Cure The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years. It Is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonio has only recently been introduced Into this count ry by tlie proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American! Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of tho most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine haa completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, f.nd diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest vuluo in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It perforins this by tho great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its gr'M curative powers upon tho digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy cpmpares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonio as a builder and strengthener of the life force s of t ae human body, and as a great rencwer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of femnles of all ajjes. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as chaiige in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over tho danger. This great strengthenor and curative is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing propertiiis wi.U give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the 11 res of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year. IT IS A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF

NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and

harmless in all its effects troon tha youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nino ':enths of all tho ailments to which the human

family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges

tion. When there is an immfiieient

general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of tho body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con

tain a sufficient) quantity of tho the wear our presett mcue ot living

For this reason it becoiuos necessary that a nerve food be supplied.

This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of vkicu nerve tissue is formed. This accounts

for its universal adaptability to rangement. CmwFORDHViu. ! Im., Aug. 20, S6.
