Loss of the Schooner Rocket.

The Milwaukee Peoples Press learns by
aprivate despatch from Mr.. JOHN HIBBARD,
at Port Huron, that the schooner Rocket
collided on the Goth inst, with the bark
Ocean Wave, off FoIestville, sixty five
miles above the St Clair River, in Lake
Huron, and sunk immediately-a total
loss.
Her hull had $4,000 insurance in the
Buffalo Mutual, and considerable amounts
in other companies. Her cargo of 10 500
bushels of wheat was risked by the Phoenix
and Commercial Insurance Companies,
$4,000 each, and $1,000 in the Home, Of
New York. The Rocket, we believe, is
owned at Detroit.
She sailed from Milwaukee on the 14th
under the command of Captain Ramsey
and was then anticipating return trip -
She now lies in deep water and there can
be no hope Of raising her.

Great Fire in Franklin Street
Chicago.

The most disastrous confagation which
has occurred in this city since the great
Lake street fire, broke out at o'clock
yesterday morning in the five story build
ing on Franklin street, between Randolph
and Lake, occupied by the wholesale drug
establishment of Q. F. Fuller & Co.
The whole interior of the building ap-
peared to be in flames when the fire was
discovered and for the first there was no
hope of saving the building. The stock
of highly infammabIe materials which con
trhuted to increase the rapidity and extent
of the flames. The engines arrived prompt
ly after the alarm was given and worked
to the best advantage possible under the
circumstance but nothing would be hoped
beyond preventing the spread Of the con-
hagration.
shortly after the arrival Of the engines
an awful explosion took place, which
brought the walls and everything to the
ground in mass Of ruins. 1t was almost
a miracle that no person was killed or hurt.
The explosion was doubtless caused by the
flames communicating with the stock of
camphire, burning fluid and alcohol
The falling of the walls crushed to atoms
the buildings on either side. That on the
North No. 50 was a frame, owned and oc-
cupiie,, as furniture store by Jacob Strait,
who loses So, SEQ with no insurance.
The livery stable No. As, owned by
Shepley & Co., was aiso damaged some
$500.
The building No. Sc, next to the South i.
was frame, owned by John b. Busch, and
occupied as a saloon by j. Seigrist. 1t
was totally destroyed.
The rear Of the building, No. 225 Ran
dolph street, was damaged some 5000 :;
owned by Mr.. Bradbury, of New York, and
occupied clothing store j. Ii. Henoch,
whose stock was somewhat wet.
The Everett House, late New York
House, owned 10y Philip w. Wadsworth,
was damaged to the amount of about ST.
900, by falling walls and water, the
kitchen and dining room in the rear being
leveled. A private family, named Alex
ander, who moved into the building last
Monday for the purpose Of opening board
ing house, suffered considerable damage
from the wettiug of their furniture.
The large building in which the fire or
iginated was utterly demolished. 1t was
owned by Mr.. T. III. Barclay, cost SIS, 900,
and was insured for $4,000.
Messrs. Fuller & Co. estimate their loss
at $4,000 upon which they had insuran-
ces for $4,000. Their stock was COM
pletely destroyed; nothing whatever be-
ing saved.
The origin Of the fire is a mystery, but
it was probably set on fire.-TSmeS d; Her.

Money Matters.

Money matters at the East continue to
improve. In New York, Saturday, stocks
again advanced, money was easier, Ex
change better, and the panic in great
measure over.
In Milwaukee, on that day, there was a
decided improvement in the prices Of
breadstuffs, though Exchange was scarce
and high. Shipments by Lake for the
season were considered over, the cold snap
of Friday night and Saturday threatening
a speedy close Of navigation.
Illinois money is now taken at par, ex-
cept bills of the following banks, which
are quoted at 25 per cent. discount;
American Exchange Bank.
Bank of Aurora.
Bank of the Commonwealth
Bank of Raleigh.
Corn Exchange Bank.

A Disastrous Week.

The Milwaukee Sentinel, of Monday,
contains the following concerning the dis
asters on the Lakes for the previous week:
Last week was by all odds the most dis,
astrous of the season to our lake marine.
Already we have had intelligence Of the
sinking and total loss Of two large grain
vessels and cargoes, and two propellers,
and when the extent Of the losses is fully
known we fear they will foot up hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
The losses of our home companies alone
for the week, amount to upwards oftwenty
thousand dollars, and there must be about
one hundred grain laden vessels between
the Straits and Buffalo at the present time,
in manyof which they are interested
The telegraph informs US of prevalence of
a terrible gale on Lake Erie and Ontario
Saturday night, but does not report any
serious disasters.

Letter from Judge Douglas.

On the first page of this number OF the
Pilot will be found an aole and interesting
letter from the leader of the Democracy at
the recent election, to the bushes men of
New Orleans, on the subject of the pres
ent troubles in the Southern States, which
threaten to affect the safety and perpetulty
Of our glorious Union. The Watertown
Democrat well and truly says, in referring
to this letter." though defeated, STEPHEN
A. DOUGLAS is not disheartened Regard
less of shouts Of victory from the North
needless Of frantic cries OF disunion in the
South-he calmly raises his voice above
the exuItation and clamor, and counsels
union, moderation, obedience TO law, and
submission to the will Of the majority, as
expressed through the forms Of the Consti
tuition. Here is statesman rising super
ior to party aad planting himself on the
elevated heights of patriotism, where he
can survey the interests Of the whole coun-
try, and if possible save It from division,
distraction and all the manifold evils that,
sooner or later, must follow dissenslon and
dismemberment. His advice to the peo>
pie of the South is, not to be induced 10
take any fatal steps by the rash, reckless
leaders Of the secession, but to give the
new administration a fair trial and wait
until an attempt is made to deprive them
Of their constitutional rights. lie says
that no man can point to an act on the
National Statue book of which the south
can justly complain, and until Congress
shall unite with the Executive III an effort
to wrong one section of the Uuion, there
is no valid excuse for violent measures,
based on mere apprehension, which may
be imaginary, that something wrong may
be done. This is the course we all knew
the eminent Senator from Illinois would
pursue, let come what would, and he is
now only fulfilling the expectations and
predictions of his friends"

Material Advancement of the United
States

The following figures will show the in
crease IN population, wealth, commerce,
&c, &C., of the United States since the
year 1920:
In 1920 the Union contained "a States:
at present. 1860 the number of States in
the confederacy is thirty three. liz 1920
the number Of square miles comprising ;he
entire territory were 1,787,15O, which has
since increased tot the number of 2 936 l67
square miles. The population in 1920
was 9,63s,lS1, which, according to the
census just taken, will amount to about
100000. In 1920 the shipping con-
tanned 1880 65 tons, whereas it now
comprises GAS. 1877 tons. The annual
imports in 1920 did not exceed sf4 $780,
600; at present they reach the sum of
s366,76S, $50. The annual exports in
1920 were s79,601,766, and at present
they amount to $500, 6S9, 4O2. The reve
nue. of the government in 1920 was $751;
1881, which at present yields about
$70,000,000. The value of real estate
and personal property, owned by the in
habitants of the United States about forty
years ago, vas estimated not to exceed
s1,O00,000,000, and at present it reaches
at least the sum of $40, 900 100000.
In the event of the same rate of pros
porous advancement, the Union will in the
year 1900, contain about l00,0O0,000 in,
habitants, whose property, real and per
sonal, will be worth not less than $780,

Col. Roberts, of Verona passed OcoIo yes
terday, as messenger to the Governor
for aid.
1t was rumored on the streets o.day
but since denied that Balls Mills, has beer
burned by Montgomery. Montgomery de
cIares that he intends to carry on wal
until he frees every negro in the South
west.
Large quantities of guns, revolvers, cut
lasses and other war implements, have beer
shipped to Kansas as goods for the suffer
ing. They were sent from the East.
Unless the President sends out troop
to take and hang Montgomery and hi
men, we may expect for many months
reign Of terror on the border.

SCARLET FEvER-We learn from the
Chiffon Times that the Scarlet Fever is
quite prevalent in several portions of Cal

mostl y children, in the vicinity of that vii

children of Job Moore, of Stockbridge,
died Of that malady during the past two
weeks.
