Michigan News Briefly Told,

Kelley Brothers ami Colby of Fair Plains, Berrien county, will rebuild their trout

•dam, which gave way a short time ago. and stock the pond again. This time they will

/ build a brick wall laid in native lime. The trout pond was a decided success, and the trout at two years old were as large as trout in ordinary ponds at three years old. This was owing to the great amount of natural food in'tho pond and to the healthy sur­roundings of the fish. It is calculated by these gentlemen that at least 5.000 fish escaped by the breakage of the dam.

The Bay City Tribune says : There was one young man more sorely disappointed at the outcome of the examination for the "West Point eadetship than al lothers. l t was the grandson of the noted Indian Chief Pe-toskey.

He is a resident of Petoskey and therefore had a right to compete, for which he had boon making s o c i a l preparations. But he did not ap­pear, and the cause is a sad one, for it prob­able ends all his hopes in that direction. Two days before the examination he was at work with a straw-cutter and had two of his fingers cut and badly mutilated, and the physician says they will probably be stiff when tho wounds heal. He. is a stout, man­ly fellow, proud of his blood, ambitious and studious. Ho heads all the students of the college in athletic sports and carried off all the prizes at the recent contest.

KOASTEI) IX THE lt l /INg,

Seven Firemen Buried Under a Mase* of Brick ami Iron.

One of the most disastrous lires, both to life and property that has occurred in Hal-timore for many years broke out at an early hour the other morning at No. 10¾ South Sharp street, and spreading with great rapidity on either side, destroyed seven fine four-story iron and brick front buildings on Sharp stTeet, ami the back buildings of nearly the whole row of houses on P r a t t street, between Sharp and Hanover. The north wall of building No. 100 Sharp street collapsed and buried nine of the firemen. Two of them—Alex and John K e l l y - got out alive, but badly injured. Seven were killed.

The origin of the tire will probably never be known, but it is supposed that sponta­neous combustion was the cause. It is known that a system of electric lighting was introduced in the building recently, and it was only tried tho night of the tire, and it may be that defective insulatiou started tho flames and the combustible na­ture of the contents of the building served as food for tho destroying elements.

Tho tire wasdiscovered by an intoxicated man who stopped to rest 011 the steps of a building opposite. There was considerable delay in gett ing the alarm, and when the engines arrived the building was iu names from cellar to roof. The fireworks stored in the upper Moors at once began to explode and with the rapidly spreading tlames pre­sented tho grandest spectacle ever seen in the city.

The explosion tha t caused the collapse of the building, by which the firemen lost their lives, was the result of the ignition of some chemicals, and was so sudden that though the men were warned they had not time to make their escape. The losses will aggregate about ¢1,000,000.

Ohio's Centennial . The Ohio centennial exposition, which is

intended to show the growth and develop­ment of the Buckeye state during tho first hundred years of its history, opened in Columbus on the 4th inst., under the most favorable auspices. On every hand there was evidence of a gala day. Not only were the streets crowded but almost every pub­lic and private building in the city was gay with Hags and streamers.

Immense arches spanned the main streets, the station house was covered with ban ners, and manufacturing establishments were similarly decorated.

Beside the preparations in the city, at the state fa i rgrounds , where the centen­nial is held, the most extensive prepara­tions have been made, and there is now collected there .one of the'finest agricultur­al and stock shows ever seen in the north­west, while the mechanical and historical departments are very complete.

The exercises of the afternoon passed off with the best possible effect. The immense amphitheatre in which the exercises were held has seats for an even 12/HK), and tho majority of these were occupied when (}ov. Foraker called for quiet. The exercises were begun by singing the doxology. The immense audience was led by a trained chorus of 1450 children and the Elgin, 111., military band. To add to the effect of the music of the children, they were dresiscd and arranged in their places in such man­ner as to give the appearance of an immense Hag.

The tirst chorus was the centennial song, which, to the tune of the." Year of Jubilee,"' gave account of the prosperity of the state and nation, All through the song the audi­ence showed hearty appreciation of it, and at the conclusion of it Adj.-(Jen. Sam Dol­phin of Massachusetts arose and called for three cheers for the children-:' The visiting delegations, who sa t^ in the front sen's, cheered with a wjH-^"

Director-Ceworal "S. II. Hurs t then pre­sented tjjjo-work of the centennial commis­sion ,.£0 the governor, who in turn in a jitrong speech presented it to the public. His was an eloquent review of the progress and prosperity of Ohio, attention bo nig paid to its prominence in mining and manu­facturing, its advancement in educational institutions, its influence in national af­fairs and patriotism to the national govern­ment when it was in danger.

The children sang the "Star Spangled Banner." When they came to the lines, "Still, still doth it wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave," they brought out (lags, and as they sang wave ! them in the air. At the sight of the nat ion-al Hag the audience went wild for a mo ment, waving hats and handkerchiefs ami cheering. Hon. Coates Kinney, author of. the well known song, "Rain on the Roof," read tho centennial ode, which considered the past hundred years of labor, knowledge, freedom and peace, and was full of good points.

Mrs. Foraker then touched the electric button and s tar ted the machinery, and the Ohio centennial was under wav.

Appeals lor -Vid. The following explains itself; To or it FKIKNDS AND Fxi.i.ow OIYI/F.NS

OP TiTJ-: U M I K D STATT.S—We, the author­ized representat ives of the citizens of Jacksonville, recognizing the fact that the epidemic has now reached such a stage that our own funds are insufficient either to cope with the many eases of absolute ne­cessity, for the engagement of nurses or for the numerous other demands upon us ; a n d -

Whercas, owing to the absence of all business, many of our most liberal citizens are unable to furnish further funds, we now think wo are justified in accepting.the many willing offers of aid that have been received from you. We therefore wish our fellow citizens of the United States to know that we will gratefully receive the aid they have, offered and that all contri­butions will be used for the benefit of those in need and where they "will effect the greatest good. We request that any such contributions may be forwarded to James M. Schumacher, president of the F i r s t National bank and the chairman of our finance committee; Neal Mitchell, presi­dent of the Duval county board of heal th; D. T. (Jcrow, acting mayor, and P . Me-Quade, acting president of the citizens' auxiliary association, Jacksonville, F la ."

The citizens have expended many thous­ands of dollars of their own means, but now recognize the fact that owing to busi­ness being practically dead they will be no longer able to relieve the sick and needy.

Army of the Tennessee. The 23d annual reunion of the Army of

the Tennessee was held in Toledo on the 0th inst. The following officers were elect­ed for the coming yoar: President, (Jen. W. T. Sherman; vice-presidents, (Jen. (J. A. Pierce of Dakota; Maj. O. H. Smith of Cleveland; Maj. L. H. Kvarts of Philadel­phia; ('apt. John O. Pullen of Bloomington, 111.; Maj. A. H. Fat.rigue of Wichita, Ks. ; Capt. C, A. Steismoior, St. l /ouis; Capt, W. Leggett, (Jen. R. V. Ankeny, Lieut. A. N. Pierce, Lieut. J. C. W. Hardy, Lieut. H. L. Cray ; recording secretary, (Jed. Andrew Hickenloopcr of Cincinnati; t reasurer , (Jen. M. F. Forco of Cincinnati.

Gen. Strong, of the committee, to select a time and place for the next meeling, re­ported that Cincinnati had been chosen as the place and September, IHS0, as the time.

The president is to a r roag t t h * d i t e with the local executive commit***.

Uen. Green B. Raum submitted the re­port of the committee appointed in Detroit last year to arrange for tho erection of a mon­ument in honor of Gen. Logan. The report was adopted after a clause, that the society dispose of a $1,000 bond and apply the pro­ceeds to the monument, had been stricken out. Gen. Kaurn then introduced a resolu­tion to the same effect as the passage Btrick-en from the report. A great many thought it was establishing a bad precedent and the resolution was withdrawn. A motion that each member be asked to contribute $.1 to the fund to be applied to the monument prevailed. Amendments to the constitu­tion were offered, but according to the rules have to lie on the table one year before ac­tion on them is taken.

FATAL HOTEL F1HE.

Six Lives Lost a t West Superior, Wisconsin.

At au early hour ou the morning of Sep­tember 2, flames were discovered in the American house, corner of Third and Tow­er avenues, in West Superior, Wis, When the depar tment arrived the ent i re building was a mass of Hames, and the inadequate supply of water rendered the efforts of the firemen almost useless. The air was rilled with the screams of frantic men and women trying to escape from the burning building, many of them being clad only in their night clothes.

The building was a frame s t ructure , and more in the nature of a boarding house than hotel. The inflammable, r icketry did shell was soon entirely destroyed, the men in the meantime directing their efforts to saving the adjoining houses.

When the ruins began to smoulder water was played upon them as rapidly as possi­ble, and tho search for the missing began. In three different places bodies were lound, charred beyond recognition. Six men were lost altogether, as all who were in the building have been accounted for except these. Their names will probably never be known. The landlord never had a regis­ter, and simply noted down the rooms which were occupied each day. Besides, the guests were strangers, the hotel patron­age being a class of lumbermen and miners who were bound north and generally stopped only one night.

The cause of the tire was at t r ibuted to a lamp explosion in a room on the second Hoor, occupied by two men who had been out late and had returned under the iu-fiuence of liquor. They said they tirst know of tho tire when they saw tho flames through the transom of their room. Their escape was miraculous, and all were badly burned.

The servants were so horrified at the sit­uation that it was with difficulty they were forced to leave the house. One man who had re turned drunk, barely escaped death by being carried out by his room-mate. Others were saved by jumping into' blankets held by men on the street below.

Engulfed in Burn ing Oil. A terrible accident occurred the other

morning at the tank farm near Oil Center, twelve miles north of Findlay, Ohio, in which three men lost their lives. One of the immense iron tanks of the Buckeye Lime company, containing at the time 20,000 barrels of oil,sprung a leak early in the morning and a number of men were set to work calking the seams. Some of them were working on a scaffold, Suddenly the tank burs t from the pressure of oil and gas inside. The oil was thrown in every direction with great violence, carrying tho men with it. In a moment the whole mass of oil was in a flame, catching tire from a blacksmith's forge which stood near. No assistance could reach the helpless men, as tho fire raged with enormous violence, and great waves of Haines swept for hundreds of feet in every direction.

The fire raged lor several hours, making an awe-inspiring sight, and rolling up vol­umes of smoke which spread over the city, obscuring the sky. At it late hour in the afternoon the bodies of the three iiVon were recovered, They were charred beyond recognition and no one appears to know their names. Nothing was left, on thei r 'c lo th ing to indicate who they were. Kvon the buttons crumbled at the touch. Tho skeletons of a cow. hog and dog were also found when 1 the tire had engulfed them.

Six Killed and Others Injured. The boiler of the Per ry stove works at

South Pi t t sburg , Teun,, exploded on tho 4th inst., instantly killing Charles Taylor, the superintendent of the works ; J. B. Mills, a machinist; M. Donovan, foreman of the mounting department ; Geo. N. Carter, a leading jeweler of the town; A. M. P lumb of Winchester, Teun., and Win, Watson, a molder. Wm. Gross, a machin­ist, and Rock Scruggs, a molder, were both fatally injured and will die. A largo piece of boiler was thrown end overend adistanee of 10(1 yards, and tearing a hole through the side of Dieten's store landed against 1 he opposite wall. Many smaller pieces were thrown a distance of several hundred yards. The boiler and engine were in the corner of the molding-room and the whole side of the building was torn away for- a distance of forty-feet. Had the ex­plosion occurred half an hour later the loss of life would have been appalling. The cause of the explosion is a mystery. Per­ry 's stove works moved to South Pi i tsburg from Albany, N. Y., a year ago and only a few months ago were entirely destroyed "by tire. They were just getting iu running order again.

Catholic Benevolent I 'nion. The Catholic benevolent union at. Colum­

bus. O., postponed action on tho chango of name for one year ; indorsed the c jec t^n of Swinton's history from the Boston schools and elected the following officers: Presi­d e n t M.
