A London despatch sr William Sandya Wright Yanx, M. the Engith archaeologist, to dead, in his sixty- even th year. About twenty minutes pest eight o'clock last evening lira was discovered in the basement of the building at the corner of Franklin and Devins hire streets, occupied by Abram Flench A and alarm 45 was given by patrolman Grz-ham of Division 2. The basement of the building was occupied for packing, and soma expensive dinner sets were kept there. On tbs Hist floor were stored the' hlgbeat-prioed goods, inch tried-brae, colored glassware, and, in fact, all descriptions of fancy china goods; on the second floor was soma 850,000 worth of medium-priced crockery, and the third flow was filled with ordinary crockery, valued at some 830,000 or $40,000.

a the fourth floor was an Immense quantity of common glassware of a cheap grade, the firm having boxed a number of largo orders for their beach trade. The lire was discovered in the base, meat, and rapidly spread in the straw need for packing, and soon reached the elevator well. Fortunately, the traps of the elevator well were dosed, or the lire would have rushed through the whole building. But these gave only temporary check, and the flames worked up into the npper part of the building, breaking oat st the thiid story. The firemen worked hard, but the smoke was so dense that it was impossible fortbemto stay in tbs building, and tbo tight was maila from the outside.

The fin was apparently nnder control, when suddenly It burst forth with increased vigor, and Chief Engineer Webber ordered second and third alarms Just before nine oclock to secure an additional force, one source of trouble was a blind attic," which could not lie reached until the beet had melted the tin roof. Again and again the fire seemed almost extinguished, and then suddenly burst forth in new quarter, the straw in which the goods are packed furnishing material for the flames. The water tower was stationed at the corner and did good service, and the other engines poured an immense quantity of water into the building. On the fourth floor of the ad joining building on Franklin street a hole was cut through the eighteen-inch wall, and the firemen attacked the Are from this point with much success. The loss to Abram French Co.

will be very heavy, for the smoko will damage the goods that wen open, while the goods packed in straw will be badly damaged by water; the streams of water also muhM the delicate china and glassware wherever they i directed. Tlic protective department spread many covers, but the weight of the covers and haste with which it was necessary to spread them injured some of the stock while protecting the rest. It Is impossible to learn the actual loss on the stock until a thorough examination has been made, but it will undoubtedly reach 5100.000. aa-l n.ay possibly amonnt to much more than 1 1. The building Is badly damaged.

The roof is and all tbs floors have been cut through to carry off the water. It is owned by the heirs of the Edward igglesworth estate. The loss will bo about which is covered by insurance. The adjoining live-story granito building, No. 57 Franklin street, was also damaged to the amount of perhaps $500.

The stock of the latter firm was slightly damaged by water; the loss ia folly covered by iaeoronco. Charles H. Smith of ladder 3 stepped into a pile of crockeryware and glass and ent his foot very badly.

A member of hose 9 was overcome In the bnildlnf while performing his duty and had a narrow escape from suffocation. He was assisted ont by firemen and was soon able to return to dntj. The third alarm attracted many persona to the scene of the fire, and force of fifty policemen was detailed to keep the crowd from tbs vicinity of the bnraing building. The cause of the lire is unknown. There had been no fire in the basement, and as the gas i lighted by electricity there were no matches about the bnilding.

PROBABLE STAND TO BE TAKEN BY THE LIBERALS Losnox, June 23. The Standard, In an editorial, says that the political deadlock has been settled by concession on both side. Reviewing the qualities of tha new minister, it admits that the front row of tha Conservative benches in the House of Commons will bo unequally bed with tho gladiators in debate who ait on tbo opposite side. The Standard comforts itself for the Conservative lack of oratorical power by observing that the present task to to administer, not to discos. Tbe Daily News, in an editorial, lays that no specific pledgee have been given, but that a gen- Mniaehaa eral promise trengT giant.

offered that the giant's strength of the opposition snail not 00 used like a The Times, in an editorial, say It thinks Lord Salisbury's failure to obtain tho desired pledges from the Liberals weakened hto position, ft adds, However, the Liberals, though perfectly able to do so at any time, having notning but trouble to gain thereby, will probably not attempt to defeat the Government." The Irish Question. Sir Charles Dilke, addressing a meeting of Liberals last night, said he was prepared to give the Conservatives reasonable assurances. He wished to study in Intend a plan for the devolution from Parliament to Welsh, ficotcb and Irian bodies ninch of tbe business that Parliament to now not competent to discharge. He would visit Ireland aa soon as possible for that purpose. He believed that many Irish officials were In favor of decentralization, and many agreed that it was necessary to abolish Dublin Castle.

He thought that Lord Salisbury's recent attitude savored of bluff and brag, and was not likely to induce the Literals to enter into a formal compact. The Times, in an editorial, says, Mr. Chamber-lain and Sir Charles Dilke may discover that there are institutions in Ireland, such as the poor-law guardians and municipal councils, administering public money largely, that are only prevented from abusing their powers by the supervision of the permanent officials whom it to proposed to sweep summarily away. The Conservatives must be prepared with an alternative policy to demolish Mr. Chamberlain's wild Naw-Senaon Tens Treaty Between Chinn and Japan.

Hr rex, Juna J3, MB. Hon. Edtnzr J. Sherman, Attorney General: Dear Sir By an examination made by this department of the affair of the People's Benettc Association of Button, a niutaai corporation, organized nnder the provision of chapter 115 of the Public Statute, and transacting the busineae of life and health insurance upon the assess oieti: plan, ti ese facte appear: Ibc i-orporatioo vomuiauced business March 5, 1K3. By its annual statements filed with the Insurance Department, conformably to law.

it S-pears that the namber or its certificates In formt Dee 31, lift, was Mil; that during the year 144 it issued 2142 certificates, and 397 of its certificate, ceased to le in force; that no deaths oocured in its membership in lss3; that twenty-four member died in 1M, of whom nineteen joined In the: year; that of claims lor benefit on account of them deaths the corporation admitted five, of the amuunt of as valid, and paid the same, and denied its liability and refused ayment of nineteen, of the amount ot (I9M It otherwise aj-peaxs that another chum for INW, on account the death ot a member in IM, not reported in iu annual ftatemenr, is pending; that two of the disputed claims have since been settled by the p.y-ut of compromise sums, end another by in favor of the corporation and that since Jan. i last three claims for death benefits have been made, one of which, for the turn of 2000, tbs two, of the amount of 4 yet dne and pay- death corporation disputes, and $3u00, it admits as valid, but not able. The admitted claims for i amount to f-iuoe. and the disputed claims (ii, severs! of which are aiieadv in litigation, amount 4 OW. The proceeds of the last death asseMuieut rere 44114.

Altbiiueh 1 cannot positiyely anticipate the results ot the adjudication. I am aatished from inquiries made in the course of the examination, that a large proportion of these disputed claim, ate just and valid that the corporation seen to evade or nniearonabl postpone the performance of its obligations by ret u.af to pay benefits upon insufficient grounds and without proper investigation of the facia, and by availing of the perfidy of irs own agents to set np an inequitable defence; end that the excessive mortality of the corporation is dne to the admoedoa ot unfit meiu-lers, with the connivance and through the deceptive practices of its agents and medical ex--miners. several of the claims are refused payment for the allege i reason that the deaths occurred within sixty days alter the issue of the certificates, and no right to the beneficiary accrued within that limit. No provision to that effect ia fouud in the certificate of membership or in the published by-laws aad rales of the corporation. The explanation offered by the counsel of the corporation is that an amendment of the by-laws to that effect had been adopted by the directors nnder the assumed authority of a rale of the corporation, which provides that its "by-laws, rales anil regulations aad plan and system of membership may be annulled, amended or changed by majority vote of the directors." But no record of inch action is borne on the books of the corporation, ana if sneb action was ever had the fact hu not been made known to the members by publication or otherwise.

The validity of such an amendment applicable to already admitted members may well be questioned. The hooks of the corporation are aot kept propel ly to exhibit ite business end condition, nor in a manner to permit a verification of ite transactions. Its disbursements, other than lor death benefita and aick indemnities, are not properly vouched, the cash-book entries furnishing the only evidence of each disbursements or of authority therefor. The cash-book entries do nut agree with the sworn annual statements of the officers, in the accounts for 183 the cash boon bows a balance of $43942 to the credit fide, while the statement reports balance of I2KXI; for 1W4 the total receipts, including balance from 1883, as per cash book, wore 554.S69.tfrt, and total disbursements, 547.242.30, a credit balance or 7327.30, whereas the annual statement balance is 55920 80. From ite organisation to Jane 1, 1885, the total Income of the corporation from all sources, and its total disbursements for an purposes, as shown by its cash book, wen: Disbnrse-Keeelpts.

Of the total disbursements the anm of 23AI8J0 was paid fur death benefita and tick Indemnities. The by-law provide tor board of fire directors.

who shall-cbooee president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, who shall receive such compensation for their services as the board shall direct, and that the treasurer shall nave the custody of all moneys of the association, and shall give a bond in sock son and with such suret'ei as the board of directors may from Ume to time require lor the faithful parformanoe of his duties." The salary or compensation of the officers has not been fixed at any time bv any recorded action of the directors, and the entries in the cash book of different snms of money paid the officers at sundry times are the only evidence of such payments or the authority therefor. The secretary and treasurer are one person, and ho baa never given bonds as the by-laws require. The annual masting of the corporation was held in November last, at which S5I voces were cast, mostly noon proxies held by the secretary and treasurer. The moneys of the corporation when in bank are deposited in the same of the treasurer and confused with bis personal funds, and in no manner identified as the property of the corporation. From the admission and statement of the treasurer it appear that recently, and with the ar date directors, hi thousand dollars 4 his l-ersonal custody to avoid their attachment lu bank by rredi.urs of the corporation.

There facta sa iafy me that the management of the eorporatiou ia grossly incompetent and careless of ire lrnr, if not wilfully dishonest; and that, if its affairs are not already beyond reformation, the interest of its members and tha public demand a change in ite bovine control by judicial intervention.

Tha members of tha troupe, however, were not affected, apparently, by tbe chilliness of the air, and gave a very enjoyable performance of this favorite opera. Mias Evans as Martha gave an effective and praiseworthy interpretation of tho part, the Last Rom of Summer being especially well done, and being one of tho few songs encored. Miss Wentworth entered fully into tbo spirit of tho part of Nancy, and both In her singing and acting gave great satisfaction. Mr.

Christy Lionel sang well, hot his movements were stiff and hto acting and posturing stagey. Mr. Hubbard and Mr. Longhrin Plnnkett and the sheriff, respectively, and Mr. Feakes as Tristan, were satisfactory, as wu also tho chorus.
