ROSJS HILL lUJHM I).

Mario" Steele's Fine Residence aid Most of

Its Contents Went Up In F1 imos Loss $7,000 With !#4,000 Insurance. Thursday night at eight o'cloek Rose Hill the elegant residence of Marion Steele two miles south ot Greenfield burned together with most of its coutents. The family were in the front part of the house and young Mr. Cleary who works there going to the rear of the house for a drink discovered that it was on fire. A summer kitchen which was used for a wash and ironing room was almost burned down wheu discovered and the fire soon communicated to the main building although every effort was made to check the flames. By this time the flumes had burst through into the upstairs rooms and it was impossible to get out all of the furniture,bedding or clothing aud there was where most of it was kept from the upper rooms. The most of the furniture, books, carpets, etc were removed from the two lower front rooms but the piano was badly broken. Nothing except the sideboard was removed from the dining room kitchen or cellar. The fire was almost over before any of the neighbors were hware of it and able to render any assistance. The fire origninated probably from an over heated stove in the kitchen which during the afternoon had been in use in ironing.

The loss probably amount to between $6,000 and $7,000 and there is $4,000 in surance in the Home of New York. $3 000 being on the house and out buildings and $1,000 on the furniture, fixtures, clothing, provisions, etc.

Every thing in the yard was destroyed except the greenhouse which was too far away. The barns and everything on the south side of the road were not burned nor badly endangefed.

Mr. Steele and his family have the sympathy of a host oi friends in their loss. Their home was probably the handsomest in the county and was very dear to all of them. Last night they remained with neighbors. They will rebuild in the spring and in the meantime will live in Greenfield as soon as they can rent a house.

The Batcher's Chase.

A Dundee butcher exhibited at his Bhop door various articles, such as sheep's heads, bullocks' tongues, etc.

Two thieves in search of their diuuer noticed the conspicuous and tempting tongues at the butcher's shop, aud they resolved to victimize him.

Accordingly one of the thieves made a rush into the shop, and hastily addressing the butcher said: "Did you not see a big black dog running away with a large tongue in its mouth?" "Impossible 1" said the unsuspecting butcher, who fancied one of his tongues •was off, and seizing a chopper he rushed out of the shop after the supposed dog thief. Getting a glimpse of one of the canine race somewhat answering the description given, he made full chase, but lost sight of the animal at a corner where a crowd of hangers on are always to be found loitering.

The butcher, somewhat discomfited, appealed to the crowd by asking if any of them had "seen a big black dog with a tongue in its mouth." "With a tongue in its mouth?" said one of the crowd. "You stupid man! Did you ever see a black dog without a tongue In its mouth?" "I am sold, "said the worthy butcher, and so he was, for when he returned to the shop he found that the whole of his tongues were gone as well as the two thieves who had taken them.—London Tit-Bits.

Hero of the Ballet Girls.

Mr. William L. Winans' distribution, of $5,500 among the ballet girls at the Alharubra has made him the hero of Loudon's music hall world. Mr. Winans has been kuown for some weeks« among the frequeuters of the Alharubra as "the mad American." Every nighthe has occupied alone a $15 box during the 40 minutes of the "Titania" ballet on the stage. He has never sought to go behind the stage or make the acquaint-: ance of any of the performers. His name was unknown until a week ago, when he sent a check to the managers, with directions to distribute the money among the girls, giving the first dancers $200, the general daucers $50 and the children $20 each. His solitary figure is still» seen in the box every evening, and the members of the ballet now salute him as "the American Monte Cristo. New York Sun.
