DISASTER.
A Woman and Six children Burned to Deatl
at Dayton, Ohio.


The Dayton, Ohio, Journal of Monday gives
the following particulars of the recent terrible
disaster in that city,
Mr.. Moeller says that he returned home on Satur-
day night between 10 and IL O'Clock. His family had
The saloon was already closed, and there was one
stirring about the house. There was no sign of fire
anywhere. About ~ O'Clock he arose to get some
water for one Of the children, and he heard a noise
under the stairway, where shavings and chips were
kept; but suppOsing 1t was dog, which made that
his retreat, he thought no more of 1t.
The first intimation Moeller had OF fire, his wife
aroused him by screaming, "The house is on fre!'
The boys-fouri in number-who slept in the garrett,
had first discovered the fire. and rushing down stairs
awakened their mother. The room was already
filed with smoke, 80 that they could scarcely see
each other. Mrs. Moeller ran to the front window.
and raising it, called to her husband to throw out
bed, and jump out and catch the children
The two eldest boys, Frank and Henry, aged re-
spectively 16 and 13 years. jumped out OF the win
dow while their parents were planning how TO save
themselves and children. Then Moeer got an
other bed-tick, throwing it out Of the window and
telling his wife to throw the children down to him,
he jumped out, but the sash fell down on his wrist,
and he with difficulty got it loose. 1t was by this
accident that he was hurt. .'
The room above was already stl1lng when M0eller
got out of the window, and the sudden closing OF
the window deprived the wife and children OF what
little air they could breathe, and they must have
been suffocated almost instantly-all except the
babe which Mrs. MOeer held at her breast
The 1remen found the bodies near the door,
where, it is believed, they were smothered while
attempting to make their escape by the stairway.
The bodies were very little burned-merey scorched
in the face. The smoke and lame were taken into
their lungs, causing instant death.

General Mcclellan having been invited to par

sent, but wrote letter in the course of which
he said:-
have been honored by the receipt OF several in
vtatons similar in import to that contained in your
letter, and have been obliged in every instance to
decline them, for the reason that my business en-
gagements were OF such a nature as to render 1t i'm
possible for me to find the necessary leisure time
regret that the same necessity still exists and that
tation. / trust that you will permit me to
say that there is no lack OF sympathy on
my part with the object OF the dedica-
ton, but that, on the contrary / regard
with the deepest Interest all efforts made to perpetu
ate the memory OF the patriotism, devotion and gal
liant deeds OF those who offered up their lives for the
salvation Of our country We cannot pay the debt
we owe them but we can show that we recognize
the obligation, and we can perpetuate their me-
mory as the highest example for the imitation Of
our children. This generation can leave no better
heritage to its successor than the Names the deeds
and the example OF those brave men who cheerfully
offered their lives for their country, and who proved
that long years OF peace had not eXtinguished or
diminished the heroic spirit which animated our an

No one can foresee what trials Providence may
have in store Tor our country in the far distant fu
ture; but be they never severe, just such monu-
ments as that you now erect win then serve TO
kindle the courage and patriotism of the people, and
will remind them that there were those among their

might live. SO reminded, our children in the hour

The Additions 10 the Treaty Of Annexation

The Additions TO the Treaty of Annexation.
The New York Herdlds Washington cores
pondent gives the following as the text of the
additional article to the treaty for the annexa-
ton of San Domingo, which was sent in to the
Senate by the President yesterday
Additional article to the treaty between the Domi-
nican Republic and the United States of the 29th of
November, 1852 for the annexation OF that republic
Whereas Pursuant to the ninth article OF the treaty
between the Dominican Republic and the United
States of the goth day of November, 1869, for the
annexation OF that republic to the United States, it
was stipulated that the ratlcations of that iustru
ment should be exchanged within four months from
its date or sooner If possibe and whereas the said
time has expired but the parties being still desirOus
that the said treaty should be carried Into full effect
have determin ed to extend the time for the exchange
OF the Publications aforesaid. For this purpose the
President of the United States has conferred full
powers on Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State, and
the President of the Dominican Republic has con-
ferred like powers on Joseph Warren Fabens; and
the said plenipotentiaries having exchanged their
full powers, which were found to be in due form,
have agreed upon the following additional artice:-
The time for exchanging the ratifcations of the
treaty between the Dominican Republic and the
United States Of the 29th of November, 1869, is
hereby extended to the 1st day OF July next In
witness whereof the respective plenipotentiaries
have signed the present article in duplicate and
have affixed thereto their SEALS Done at Washing
ton the 14th day of May, 1870.

Prospects of the Treaty.
The Hsrdld'S correspondent further SAYS
''As to what will be done with the treaty,
now that it is urged upon the Senate again by
the President, it is not easy to ascertain. Care
full inquiry does not show that a change OF
opinion has been expe rienced by any of the
Senators who formerly opposed it, and yet
some of its friends claim that it has "gained
strength" and will ultimately be a success. II
seems probable that SO soon as the Sandwich
Islands treaty is got out of the way an effor
will be made to consider st. Domingo"

FINANCE AND COMMERCE..


Wednesday. June l, 1870.
There is no material change In the condition
of trade generally, and the money market con-
tinues in a condition of plethora from which
there is no immediate prospect of relief. There
is an increased demand for call loans on specu-
ative account, but it is neutralized by the falling
off in the business demand. In no department
is there any hope of reaction until the opening
of the regular fall season, and lenders are
anxious to place at least O portion of their
heavy balances at moderate rates. The bulk of
business to-day is in the shape of stock loans
some transactions being made as low as per
cent, but per cent. is the average figure OBJ
tanned, as heretofore. Discounts are nominal
and money is to be had anywhere on good paper
at per cent.
Gold opened at 1149s, advanced to 11416, and
closed at 1142s. The market is quiet, with a
slight downward tendency.
Government bonds are also dull but steady at
about yesterdays closing prices.
Stocks were less active, but prices were gene
rally stronger. In State 6s there were sales of
the first series at 105 and of the second at 10S.
