An Ottawa, @. W., photographer
has just been unearthed, who, for the
last three or four years, has been en-
gagged in a system of anonymous letter
writing of most infamous character.
Clergymen and their families, mer-
chants and men of business, have been
made the objects of his ISLANDERS, and
his letters have been sent hither and
thither in a way that was calculated to
blast regulations and destroy mutual
confidence. It took sharp detective
three years to unravel the mystery.

A physician who was not very familiar with
the symptoms or the remedies for the chOl-

who believed himself suffering from the cpl

and called again next day, when he was in

The Great Fire in Yokohama, Japan.


Additional particulars of the great
fire at Yokohama, Japan, have been
received. The fire commenced in a
cook shop in street leading from Be-
utchdori to Yoshiwarra. The latter
place is on the peninsula, and contain
ed a great number of habitations of
japanese women. The fire spread
rapidly, and, there being only one
bridge leading to it, a great destruc-
ton of life took place, as all but two
isolated buildings were destroyed.
The Japanese report finding thirty
five bodies, but further examination
of the burnt district adds largely to the
number. The greatest confusion pre-
vailed during the fire, storekeepers in
some instances literally barricading the
streets in front of their premises with
goods, thereby pntting stop to travel,
and causing many deaths from crushing
among the crowds striving to escape
from the fire. The wind blew very
strongly, and the fire swept rapidly
through the native settled portion of
Yokohama, and thence communicated
to the foreign quarters.
Every effort was made to arrest the
progress of the fsmes, by the use of
water and by blowing up buildings,
but IN vain, until nearly One-third of
the stores and dwellings of the business
firms was destroyed. / he 'tgo-downs"
or store houses of many of the princi-
pal business firms we've destroyed, as
well as many public dwellings.
Early in the day large detachments
of sailors and marines were landed from
the vessels of the British feet lying in
the harbor, who at first worked well I'M
der the control of their officers, but
getting access to liquor they became
perfectly manageable. From striving
to save property they turned their at
tention to plundering, and robberies of
the boldest nature were made while the
owners of property were standing help
less to prevent them.
Among the losses by the fire and de-
struction were the archives of the Uni
ted States Consulate. These were res
cued by Consul Fisher from his Office
and placed in q bonded warehouse,
which soon after was also destroyed.
A large portion of the archives of other
consulates, as well as the French office,
were DESTROYED

There were no idle hands. Danger re-

"After we had fatigued ourselves at
this hard labor without any useful re-
suit, the berg came again to our re-
lief. A loud report first startled us;
another and another followed in quick
succession, until the noise grew deaf
euing and the whole air seemed res
ervoir of frightful sound. The opposite
side of the berg had split off, piece af-
ter piece, tumbling vast volume of
ice into the sea, and sending the berg
revolving back upon us. This time the
movement was quicker; fragments be-
gan again to fall, and, already sufi-
GENTLY startled by the alarming disso-
luton which had taken place, we were
in momentary expectation OF seeing
the whole side nearest to us break loose
and crash bodily upon the schooner, IN
which event we would inevitably be
carried down beneath it, as hopelessly
doomed as shepherds hut beneath an
Alpine avalanche.
"By this time Dodge, who had charge
of the boat, had succeeded in planting

grazing hard against the quarter. But
we were safe. Twenty yards away and
the disruption occurred, which we had
all so much dreaded. The side nearest
to us now split off, and came plungine
wildly down into the sea, sending over
us shower of spray, raising swell
which set Us rocking to and fro as if IL
gale of wind, and left us grinding il
the debris of the crumbling ruin.
"At last we succeeded in extricatiDs
ourselves, and were far enough away Il
look back calmly upon the object O

rolling like a thing of life. At eacl

DEATH OF AN ILLINOIS PIONEER. The
Chicago Republican records the death
of Colonel A. G. Harndon, at his home
in Springfield, Illinois. at the age of
seventy. It says that he bore promi-
nent part in the public affairs in the
early history of Illinois, having repre-
sented Sangamon county in the state
Senate when that county, in addition
TO Its present territory, embraced the
greater part of what now constitutes
the counties of Mason. Menard, Logan
and Christian. He was the cotempo-
rary in the legislature of Abraham Lin
coin, the late Colonel Z. ID. Baker,
United States Senator from Oregon,
who fell at 'sBall's Bluff" and other
distinguished men. William Il. Harm
don, the friend and biographer of Lin
coin, is the oldest surviving son of Col
onel Harndon.

Gas LIGHTS.--We can see good reason why
the council do no not order lamps on Eagle street.
A lamp post should be set Highland street,
and another at near Pleasant These lamps
would light both Buffalo and Eagle streets Win
not the Aldermen of the Second Ward attend TO
this matter p Union.
We are told, by one of the Aldermen, that
the City Council passed an order to that eff
feet, some time ago, and is only waiting for
Mr.. Harper to lay the service pipe, before
putting up the lamp posts. One of the posts
can be put up when only 10 feet of pipe
shall be laid, but we presume that the
Union knows that the City does not own or
lay down the service pipe-that is the bust
ness of the Gas Company, the pipe being
owned and controlled by the Gas Company.
The City owns all the lamp posts and is
ready to have posts set and lighted whenever
the public interests require, as soon as the
Gas Company will lay service pipe to the
points where street lights are needed.
The editor of the Union, who wishes peo-
pie to blame the City Council for not putting
up lamp posts where there is no service pipe,
was the defeated radical candidate for AL
derman in the Second Ward, last spring,
and resides on Eagle street. Of course he
wants the City to light his walk to and from
his office-this il very natural
We suppose it is also known that he Sc
cured several democratic votes in his neigh
borhood, by promising to have street lights
placed in front of their houses if he should
be elected. But, had he been elected, there
would be no more lamps on Eagle street, to-
day, than when be ran for Alderman, unless
he could have induced the Gas Company to
lay the pipe, or raised money among his
neighbors to lay it. Let him, therefore, di-
rect his batteries towards the Gas Works,
down behind his Office There is where the
responsibility rests for no lamp posts near
and get the service pipe laid, and the lamp
posts will be set, at once.
The same trouble exists at the upper end
OF Illinois street and Rock River street,
and at the foot of Adams street. Lamps
are very much needed there, and the City
Council wish to place them there, and at
other points about town, where they are
needed; but it is useless to do so, unless the
Gas Company will lay down the service
pipe. If the Gas Company refuse to do this,
and the citizens, where lamps are needed,
will not raise subscriptions enough to induce
the Gas Company to lay down the pipe, we
see no way to get the lights at the points
where they are wanted, for the reason that
the service pipes are never laid by the City
or owned or controlled by the City, but al
WAYS by the Gas Company.

for democrats in every township to make a
thorough effort to extend the circulation OF
the AssGus. There is scarcely voter in
the county too poor to pay six cents week for
large newspaper-if there is one our demo.
cratic friends should make up a, little purse
to furnish all such with the paper. A little
effort on the part of the democrats would
double our list in the county. Who knows
out that effort may be the means of redeem
