HEAVY LOSS IN A CHICAGO 4 ) STORAGE WAREHOUSE. ousebold Effects Valued at $50,000 Totally Destroyed and Almost Without Insurance Pilgrims Meet Death in a Wreck-Ice in Several States. Only Walls Left. Fire destroyed $120,000 worth of prop erty in the Parry storage warehouse, Xos. 15S and 1G0 West Monroe troet, Chicago, the other night.

Only charred walls are left standing in front and roar, the larger part of the west wall bavins fallen during the progress of the fire. The origin of the lire is unknown. The only explanation is found in the fact that a large open barrel of kerosene oil stood in the middle of the ground floor. From this barrel the men filled their lamps. The flames seemed to originate there, and carelessness on the part of the employes is alleged as the cause of the fire. Sentences Made Concurrent. Judge Woods Tuesday :norning ordered that the sentence of Debs and the other officers of the American Bail way Union be made concurrent, as directed in the original sentence. Judge Woods directed that commitments be made out fn the case of Debs for six months and of the others for three mouths each, to expire at the same time as the sentence in the government contempt case. In commenting upon his action the Judge said that lie did not desire any opinion to be formed to the end that he was seeking to punish the men for acts committed in the strike, but that the punishment was simply for contempt of court; that lie had originally fixed concurrent sentences nud saw no reason why they should not be reinst it ed, inasmuch as they had been separated in order to permit a vital issue to go befor the Supreme Court.

The table yet to be prepared relates to occupations, and it has been necessary to delay it until the present time. The reirt will contain twenty-five volumes, and Mr. Wright expresses the opinion that it will be the most complete of its kind ever published by the Government. The total cost will be about $11,500,000, or about double the cost of the census of 1SSO. A family of six persons, consisting of Frederick Hellman, his wife and four children, were asphyxiated by gas In their home at 001 Cornelia street, Chicago, Thursday night. The gas which brought death to the family escaped from a jet near the head of the bed occupied by Hellman and three of the children. This was found partly open when the neighbors crowded into the little sleeping apartment. The whole family slept in one small room only (5 by S feet in dimensions. The window was closed and the gas soon filled the lungs of the sleeping family and ended their lives. The discovery of the tragedy was not made till rather late Friday morning. About 9:30 o'clock Mrs. Hellman, mother of Frederick, called at her son's house, but to her great surprise found the doors closed and the windowshades still drawn. She went to the rear of the house and the kitchen door yielded to her push. She entered the house, met a strong odor of gas and suspected at once that something wa

wrong. She went immediately to the I

family 6leeping-room, where she found her son and his family dead in their beds, while the fatal fluid still poured into the room from the half-opened gas jet. Except the father, the family seemed to have died easily and without suffering. All but Hellman lay in natural positions, just as though their slumbers were one from which they could be awakened. In the bed with the father were the two boys, Fritz and Willie, and the girl. ! The baby of the family, little 4-year-old Hedwig, was with its mother in the other bed.

The act under which these boats are to be built permits them to be constructed ou the Atlantic coast only in the event that the navy department is unable to secure reasonable offers from responsible bidders on the Pacific coast, the Mississippi River and th& Gulf of Mexico. Inquiries are beiug received from iron-workers and shipbuilders along the Gulf and on the Mississippi which encourage the department officials to hope that bids will be forthcoming from these sections, and to stimulate the inauguration of new naval shipwrights the department has been at some pains to furnish the inquirers with all information that might properly be given them in the way of detailed plans of the boat3 and matters of internal construction that will assist them in submitting estimates. One purpose is to correct a very prevalent impression among embryo naval constructor that a torpedo-boat is easy to build, being nothing more than a powerful engine encased in the smallest hull that will float it, for in reality it is one of the most uncertain products of the naval architect, and only the highest degree of designing and structural skill and the use of the best material will stand the severe strains and develop the very high speed absolutely required by the contracts under which the torpedo-boats are built. Success in building vessels of ordinary type and merchant craft is no guarantee of good results in the first attempt at building a torpedoboat. FOREIGN.

tion of, the estate of Antonio Maximo Mora, an American citizen residing on the island of Cuba. The value cf the property taken from Mora was al'eced to be about $2,500,000.

An immense amount of poor seed is sold to American farmers and gardeners, according to a report recently Lsued by the Agricultural .department. AVhile other countries have been looking into the subject with a view to protecting their agriculturists from abuses, no investigations have been made in the United States except at a few experimental stations. Great apathy prevails, however, among purchasers, who, as a rule, buy the cheapest seed in the market aud trust to luck for it to produce the crop. Such seed, says the report, is dear at any price and the principal source of the hosts of bad weeds, whose eradication cois vastly more than the few cents a pound extra which good seed would have cost. The report makes the charge that American seed has acquired a poor reputation in foreign countries, in some of which it is difficult for it to gain a foothcld through prejudice.

B. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The midsummer reports from all c-ommercial centers indicate distinctly better crop prospects than other official or commercial accounts, a marked increase in retail distribution of products, an active demand for goods, and a general enlargement of the workiug force, with some advance in the wages of more than half a million hands. At the same time they show that the rapid advance in prices has somewhat checked the buying of a few classes of products. In some parts of the country the outlook for fall trade is considered bright. There were G,G37 commercial failures in the first half of 1S95, against 7,039 in the first half of 1S94.

Duncan; Mis Mattie Duncan, daughter of the Rev. G. W. Duncan: John Xorri?. George Nevins, Mrs. Nevins. m-tther of George Xevins; Miss Xorma Xovins. sister of George Xevins; May Wright. The residents of the village were caught totally unawares by the cloudburst. The evening had been calm, with no sign of an approaching storm with tin exception of fitful Hashes of lightning far off on the horizon, which, if given a thought, were attributed to the heat, instead of being set down as the precursor of a storm that was soon to wreck the town and engulf human life in its terrible sweep. About 9:30 o'cloc k rain began to fall, but it was so slight that the few who had not retired for the night did so, thankful for the needed showers. The rain rapidly increased in valunie, swelling Pike creek to. a flod. Then came the cloudburst, and within an hour the village was mined and eleven of its citizens were inanimate objects, being dashed an 1 buffeted by the debris as it was hurried down the valley by the seething waters. Pike creek runs through the corner of the town from west to east. A few miles west several smaller mks and vaileys empty into it and the torrents of water all joined the main stream and barst upon the town at 10 o'clock. There was no time for escape. Within a half hour the village for a space of a quarter of a mile square was covered with water to a depth of four feet. Frame houses went crashing down into the torrent as the foundations were washed away. High above the roaring of the storm and the whistling winds arose the screams of the terror stricken people, awakened from their slumbers to battle with death. Vivid Hashes of lightning illumined the scene and a. bled a ghastly pallor to the white laces of the victims as they struggled for a footing in the mad flood. Cliildren could be heard calling for their parents until their cries were forever stiüed by the relentless waters. As the smaller structures were washed down families were separated and jeop!c could be seen on drifts. Hosting down to what for many of them was certain death. Hardly a building in the entire town with the exception of those in the suburbs on high ground escaped the Mood. A fewyears ago the village was almost destroyed by fire, only a few h.;ics remaining at that time to mark the site. Reports from surrounding villages indicate that great damage has been done elsewhere, although there are no reports of loss cf life. Pleasure Party Drowned.
