private fairs. l had no reason TO expect such
publication in the Journal. L hope il will not
be considered out of the way for me to ASK
You to publish from me that there is not

teen hundred dollars month, and is the only
whole North, and is a necessary service
The service performed by the line to Ha-
vapa they receive no special compen-

service was ever let before. SO far as 1 am able
to ascertain. 1 cannot find fault with the
assaults upon my personal character. because
much better men than myself are treated In

newspapers will pay me twelve thousand dol
lars and pay my little debts, he can have Wnat

compel me to write to you any explanation
about my affairs. regret that you fall in with
men who have axes to grind, in abusing me so
cruelty. Very truly yours.

WHINING TON.
Terrible Coal OIL Accident.


The Wilmington Commercial of yesterday
says:-
AT about hall f-past O'Clock last evening two
gentlemen walking mp Sixth street noticed an
unusual light in n little two-story house on
Penn street. There was no other building
between this house and the corner SO the side
OF the house is plainly visible from sixth street
They went 10 the house, and hearing screams
and finding the door locked they burst IL open, ,
and as they did so the woman who occupied
the house came down from the story above, her
clothes all ablaze.
She ran into the street; where;the gentleman
followed her and with great difficulty succeeded
In extinguishing the flames. The woman was
however, horribly burned before the efforts to
save her were successful, and in her desperate
agony several times flung of the wrappIngs by
which the fire was being smothered. Her body
lower limbs, side, arm. and face were badly
burned her arm so terribly that the sclzening
smell OF the scorching flesh was quite evident
in the neighborhood.
Her name is Mrs Ryan, or Rlne; she is q
French woman, and has earned a scanty sub
sistance by sewing, and was reputed to keep a
house of Ill. fame.
The fire was caused by coal oil lamp ex-
plodipg, or otherwise breaking and throwi g
the burning oil on her clothing She lived
through the night In great agony, and this
morning was sent to the almshouse. There Is
scarcely possibility OF her recovering, but at
our latest adVices she was still living.

ments-The Latest Eco
nOmical Freak.
FROM WASHINGTON.

Special Despatch 10 The Evening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 8.
1t IL not believed that
Buffers Amendment
to the Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation
bill, consolidating the missions to Central aud
South America will pass the Senate, even II It
should go through the House. 1t was offered
by Butler out of desire to have revenge upon
Fitzpatrick, Minister TO Chill, and the latter has
too many friends in the Senate and House to
allow him to be legislated out of office in this
way.
The Last Measure
of retrenchment and economy is to cut Off the
small allowance of stationery heretofore set
apart for the reporters gallery in the House.
This is justly denounced by many members as
mserly, mean, etc., on the part OF the Com
mttee on Accounts, which has control of the
matter.
The Maine SenatOrship.
Private dispatches just received here from
Augusta, Me-, state that the Legislative caucas
met this morning and adjourned without
making q nomination, thus leaving the matter
to be decided in open Legislature.
Dispatches received here to-day from Albany
stste that the indications are that
A New Man
will be br5usht out for Senator, who will
