The lire caught in a warehouse from sparks from the moisting1 engine, which was at worSc discharging a cargo from the Norwegian bark Amity. It had been burning some time before an alarm was sent In, and the names were furiously licking up tlie wharf and buildings when the lire department reached the scene. A fleet of tug lessened the danger to the shipping by hauling tha vessels out In tne bay. While an elevated track wa9 burning, a gang of men went upon it and tried to saw the timbers to stop the flames from coming down the wharf. While they were working three hunJred yards of the trestle fell, the timbers breaking a short distance from where they were at work. The Louisville & Nashville railway owned the warehouse and coaJ chutes and several smaller bulldinps which were destroyed. One-half of the dock was burned with twenty-threo cars, some loaded with ccal and others empty. The warehouse contalne-d five hundred tons of salt, which is a total loss. The Norwegian bark noise, which was lying at the dock, had mot of hr rigging burned and was only saved by leing towed out into the stream, and the Norwegian bark Amity was also considerably damaged. At 11 o'clock, while firemen were working on the warehouse, several barrels Of oil exploded, seriously. If not fatally. Injuring Chief Uaker and another fireman rvamed William Eritson.

IN NEW YOliK STATE

LIVELY CAMPAIGNING LAST WEEK BY TUB TWO GREAT PARTIES. Confidence in the Rrsnlt Expressed by Doth Sides Significant Speech bjr Colonet Strong to Germans. NEW YORK, Oct. 27. The political events of the week in this State have been stir ring. If not exciting. The keenest public. interest his bean aroused in the elections. not only because of the many issues that have been Introduced into the campaign,. but because of the prominent politicians that are in active service as the spokesmen of both parties. On both side3 the utmost confidence In the ultimate result is expressed, but far from allowing confidence to govern Judgment, the leaders at the re spective headquarters have left no stone un turned to better the interests of their party. and have been untiring in their efforts to swing all factions Into line. . The event to create the most interest and awaken the liveliest rumor was the presence In this city of President Cleveland, ills stay was brief, and he made no public ut terance as to the part he should take in the campaign. Ex-President Harrison ar rived here early In the week. He expressed himself as in the hands of his friends and consented to deliver a speech In the inter est of Levi P. Morton and the others on the Republican ticket. Senator Hill has done lively campaigning in New York city and vicinity during the week. He had previously been dodging rapidly through the State and, after a two days' visit, went back into the interior. Others closely identified with the campaign have been unre mitting in their energy. Governor McKinley, of Ohio, made a tour through the State and Governor Flower will begin his circuit Monday. During the early part of the week many Democratic conferences were held, it was said, solely in the Interests of harmony. senator 1'aulkner came here from Vvasnington with the avowed intention of uniting the contending factions, if possible, the object of the controversy between the urace and 'lammany Democrats being the congressional nominations in several dis tricts. So far as all indications point, however, the question of harmony was left to right itself, as no concessions were allowed on either side. Senator Hill left here a few nights ago, however having first expressed himself, it was said, at Democratic headquarters as perfectly satisfied with the course events were taking. Messrs. Saxton and Lockwood. the Republican and Democratic nominees for lieutenant Gov ernor, have spent the week up the State. wnere meetings have been overflowing and the deep interest in the campaign unques tioned. The situation in State politics at present Is practically unchanged from that of the opening o the right, both forces working with as grim a vigor as ever characterized a State campaign. The fact that to-day was the last ot the week probably had some influence in causing the general qui etude at the various political headquarters. rne most important of tne day s lnciients was colonel strong s reception of the dis trict leaders of the German-American Reform Union at his headquarters in the Sturtevant House, late this afternoon. Its spe cial significance lay in his speech to the German reformers. Admitting their con tention that the existing excise law is an tiquated and ihlberal. he promised to exert nis innuence in favor of more liberal legis lation lr he should be elected Mayor. Active supporters of Col. oirong regara tnese expressions as ci . S A V likely to have a powerful effect in securing to mm the votes of the Germans of all factions who are not regularly allied with Tammany Hall. It is even argued that his attitude on this question will attract the support of many liquor dealers of other races, who blame Tammany for police ex tortion under the law as it stands. On the other hand, it is admitted that Colonel Strong's outspoken utterances may cause some criticism and even opposition on the part of the people whose opposition to all liquor selling is rigid and pronounced. A report that Pres. dent Cleveland had de cided, either with legal advice or without. trat he had lo?t his residence In New lork for voting purposes was naturally regarded with interest, but not as a matter of especial importance. There was some speculation as to whether h? could claim the privileges of a voter at Uuzzard s Bay. CLEVELAND'S HESIDEXCE. Humor that the President Connnltcd lawyers About It. NEW YORK, Oct. 27. The most interest ing piece of news at the Democratic State headquarters in the Parke-avenue Hotel to day was a statement by a prominent pol itician who did not wish his name men tioned m connection with it. He quoted Francis Lynde Stetson as having said that President Cleveland recently requested the law firm of which Mr. Stetson Is a member to give him a written opinion regarding his right to vote in this State. Thli opin ion was prepared, It was said, and declared that Mr. Cleveland was no longer entitled to vote in New York. For this reason, it was said, the President decided not to at tempt the register. At the law ofiice of stetson, Tracy. Jen nings & Russell. Mr. Howard Van binderen. a member of the firm, was seen by a reporter with reference to the foregoing statement. He said: "So far as I know President Cleveland has made no request for such an opinion. Mr. Cleveland is a New York lawyer and as such would be Hilly cognizant of his rights as a voter. The President may have consulted with Indi vidual members of the firm a? friends, but, or course, or that l know nothing." I.r.fe Pence Denton. DENVER, Col., Oct. 27.-Secretary of State McClees was arraigned before Judge Burns this afternoon on a charge of con tempt of court In having failed to comply with the order requiring him to certify John T. Bottom as Democratic candidate for Congress and withdraw all conflicting certifi cates. Mr. McClees said he had obeyed the order of the court as he construed it, and would obey any further orders the court might make. Judge Rums decided that Mr. Pence had no claim whatever to the Democratic emblem, the rooster, or to the Democratic nomination, and he directed Mr. McClees to at once certify to the vari ous county clerks the nomination of Mr. .Bottom on the Democratic ticket and then withdraw the Pence certificate. Prof. WiUon'n Cnmpnlgn. BERKELEY SPRINGS, W. Va., Oct. 27. Hon. William L. Wilson arrived here last night from Washington city, and this morn ing was driven across the country half a dozen miles to a point near the center of the county, where a big Democratic meet ing and barbecue had been arranged for. The attendance was very large, peopla coming Trcm Morgan, Berkeley and Hampshire counties and from Washington county, Maryland. Mr. Wilson spoke about an hour, devoting most of h!3 time, as is usual, to a discussion of the tariff question, and then gave way to local orators. Sunday will be spent by Mr. Wdson at Kingwood. Preston county, and Monday afternoon he will speak at that place, and Monday night at Terra Alta, In the same county. RlfiT Vote Promised. NEW YORK. Oct. 27.

HALF TIIK rillCST'S SOUL. How lie Lo3t It nnl Hott He Wni SntUHed. Fortnightly Review. Crowds of people assembled as we arrivedat the inn. just before sunset, and among others 1 spotted the fine head of an old Buddhist priest. After a lon confabulation and a few strings of cash, which passed from my pocket.'i Into his hands. I was able to induce him to sit for his picture, arid I dashed off a sketch In oils before he had time to change his mind. Unfortunately the larjje crowd that had gathered round, especially the women folks, seemed to scold him and talk angrily at him for his silliness in sitting, owing to tne strange notion that prevails In China, and, in fact, nearly all over the East, that if an image Is reproduced a soul has to be given to it, and that the person portrayed has to be the supplier of it at his own expense. The venerable Iiuddhist priest, who was nursing his "cash" on his lap while being Immortalized on. a wooden panel, and had a curious twinkle In hl3 eye, as If he knew better, resisted bravely for some time and sat like a statue, but finally had to give In. "You will die." cried an old woman at him; "I saw your soul coming out of you and ko Into the picture. I did really, I saw it with my own eyes." "So did I," cried a hundred other voices In a chorus Uy the time the priest had Rot up they had half convinced him that at least half his soul had really gone out of him; but had the soul gone or not. he would g-o and take the carh for safe keeping to his home first, and complain and ask for the restitution of his lost property afterward. He was a sensible man. So was I, and, know Ins what was coming, the moment he had gone I went Into the room and packed the sketch safelv, then tool: another clean panel and smeared It with the scrnppings of my palette to show h'.m instead, in case he would come back and wish the picture destioyed. Twenty minutes had not elapsed when he was back again, of course, without the "cash," holding his stomach and complaining of Internal agonies. "I am rdr.g to die," he cried, the moment he saw me; "you have taken away half my soul!" "Certainly I have," said I sternly. "You did not expect me to give you all that 'cash' for less than half your soul, did you?" "Oh. no! but I wish it back, as I feel so bad now without it." "All right," said I. "I shall go in the room and destroy the image I did of you; will you then be satisfied?" "Yes." Here the other panel smeared with palette scrapings was produced, after making pretense of destroying It with a knife, and never In my life have I seen an expression of relief to equal that of the priest. He had not felt half his foul so much going out of him. but he certainly had felt It coming back again. He could swear by it. He was now perfectly well again! Till: SAHARA DCSEHT.

The Sahara, as known to tiie geographer, corresponds tadly with this conception; for, in fact, there is no risk of the "ship of the desert" ever being supplanted by the ships of the sea, Few parts are below sea level, and they are small and scattered. In the interior the desert is a plain high above sea level, covered with vast dunes of red sand in many parts; In others it Is an elevated plateau with lofty mountain ranges of bare rocks Intersected by stony valleys. It is arid, save wiiere a spring bubbles up and gives rise to a smal oasis of grass and palm trees. The Sahara proper Is unknown, except for a few trade routes regularly traversed by Arabs, and occasionally by adventurous Europeans. These utilize the oasis and restin? places, stepping-stone3, as it were, and keep up communication between the wealthy Mohammedan states round Lake Chad In the south, and Tripoli. Tunis. Algiers, or Morocco on the Mediterranean. Uetween the trade routes all is a bank of sand or barren rock. Exploration Is only possible when water as well as food can be carried, and this condition has practically stopped all attempts at discovery for the present, on account of the great expense and the purely scientific nature of the possible return. A railway running irom ine irencn possessions on the Mediterranean across the desert to Timbuktu, the scarcely-known trade center near the Niger, Is talked of.
