The Tribune Buildings

The Tribune BuIIdihgs
are TO come down next year, and it is believed
by the .credulous that something inimitaby
Grand is to go up in their place. Never, say,
while Horace Greeley is the presiding genius
He has not worn his shirt open at the bosom, q
white coat, trowsers six inches short, and pock-
cts bulging with the contents OF The mail
ba rs for these many years, to be brought to that
at last. Such an uncanny form as that was
never meant to do the business of life in an
INTELLECTUALLY beautiful building. You mi ght
as well give him pearl-handled penholder and
expect copper-plate penmanship of him as the
natural result Mr. Greeley regards the present
Tribune buildings as the ne Plus ultra OF archi-
tectural art, and would break his heart IL they
were superseded.

HoNDAY.-Isaac Barnum VS.. Levi s. Brown. Ac-
"u Vi trespass to recover for damages to property
anu personal injuries received by the carelessness OF
'ne deiendant, gas niter. whereby explosion OF
gas was caused in the Chadwick Mansion, on Con-
gfes street, on the 18th OF May last The parficu-
lars of this unfortunate fresh in the
public mind. The house had been undergoing
pair and parties had been employed in removing
and changing the gas fixtures The end Of one Of
the pipes In upper room was LETT open and the gas
escaped into the house On going to ascertain the
source of the escaping gas, Mr.. Barnum, the occu.
pant opened the door Of the room where 1t was con-
fined, when the gas ignited from burner in tn Q
hail and an explosion followed, bursting out the side
of the house and setting Mr. Barnum on fire. From
the effect his burns Mr Barnum was confined to
his house four months, and has permanently
lost the full use Of his hands. For more than three
days after the accident his physicians regarded his
recovery doubtful. The damages are laid at $4,000.
The defence was that the defendant had nothing to
do with removing the fixtures, being called there
merely to appraise some gas fixtures which Mr. Bar
mum was to purchase of Mr.. Chadwick. The teyti-
mony was somewhat conflicting as to who removed
the fix ure in the chamber whore the explosion sub
sequenty took place. but it appeared from the tesi-
mony that the gas at the time was shut of in the
metre, and that Mr.. Chadwick spoke to Mr.. Barnum
about being careful that the pipes were closed before
1t was turned on; and further, that Mr. Baruum
turned the gas on himself. After the testimony was
all out the case by agreement was entered neither
party"

The RECENT FIRE.-Iu our account of the
fire at the Star Match Factory we omitted to
mention that there were forty employees en-
gagged in the different departments OF this
number about fifteen were men ana boys, the
remainder women. The Eliot Insurance Co.,
of Boston, held no risk on the stock and ma
chinery. The other two companies mentioned
did. The following is correct list of the
companies and the amount insured in each:-
National of Boston, SIS 900; Fireman's of Bos-
ton, $1,000; Commonwealth of New York
$4,000. Mr.. John E. Coffin was a severe suf-
ferer. He was building a new machine for
the company and lost his tools valued at $500,
all he had saved from the great fire of 1866.
We understand that the company with COM
mendable pluck and energy have expressed
their determination to have their factory in
running order again in two months time

rich and valuable laces, feathers, ribbons, and
all the concomitants of frst-class millinery
establishment. The opening will last thrn.
DAYS, Iuesaay, wednesday, and Thursday
We took look at the stock yesterday after
noon and were SO bewildered by the many ele-
CANT forms and colors that at last we asked in
desperation if that was the end of the display,
when we were coolly informed that there were
about as many to come. Over one hundred
different styles will be exhibited, including not
only those manufactured in the establishment,
which cannot be Distinguished from the i'm
ported ones, but also a large number direct
from Paris. As noteworthy fact it is proper
to mention that the demand for millinery from
this firm is very large all over the State, and
even from Boston and New York. There will
no doubt be great rush of ladies to the store
during the three days OF the opening.

rod broke. The train kept on the main track
pulling one end of the postal car in that direc-
ton, while the engine pulled the other end
towards the side track, and the consequences
was that it was torn off the tracks and the
bottom considerably injured. The train wa,
an hour late 10 consequence of the acciden,
and the mails had to be distributed at the
Post Office here, making another hour before
the letters and papers were distributed. No
