NEW ALBANY, December 4.-At
about half past 4 o'clock this evening
q IRE broke out in the large brick
Touring mill of Peter Mann. on
State Street, and in a very short time
the entire building was 10 flames. The
fire extended to the wholesale dry
goods house of s. G. Day & Sons, on
the south side, and the hardware es
tablishment of j. Loughmiller. on
the north, which were also soon com
pletely on FIRE. All three of these
buildings were burned. The contents
Of Day's dry goods store were mostly
removed. The mill contained large
amount of wheat and -four; a part of
the -four was removed, but the wheat
was all burned. The stock of Tough
miller was not removed, consisting
mostly OF merchant iron, and will be
saved in a damaged condition. The
entire loss on the buildings and stock
will amount to $4,000; insurance
$S6 600. mostly in Eastern eompa-
MES. During the progress of the fire
the wall on the northern side of
Loughmiller's building fell with a
tremendous crash upon a two. story
frame building, upon which some ten
or fifteen persons; five of these were
more or less injured, none of them,
however, very seriously. The roof of
the frame was crushed and the build,
ing nearly destroyed; the fire is still
progressing, but the fremen have it
under control. and it is not probable
that 1t will extend any further. "a

John Hanlou-The Argument on n Motion for
New Trial.


Court of Oyer and Terminer-Judges Allison, Lud-
toto Peirce, and PdGSOn
All the Judges sat, constituting q full 1bench, to
hear the Arguments OF counsel upon the motion for
a new trial In the Of John Hanlon convicted
OF the murder of Mary MOhrman. Hanlons ap-
pearance was precisely that he presented while on
trial, his Dress expression of face, and manner
being unchanged. He was attended by his wife and
sisters and conVersed long and earnestly with the
latter, exchanging but few words with the former.
The attendance OF spectators was small, there being
a squad OF policemen present TO prevent the court
from being oYercrowded.
The Court said to counsel that they proposed to
hear the argument as upon q motion for a rule to
show cause why new trial should not be granted.
Mr. Carroll, junior counsel for the prisoner,
opened the argument, and dwelt at considerable
length upon the first two reasons filed, that the Ver
dict was against the evidence and against the
weight Of the evidence lie went over the CON
fession testified to by Dunn, pointing out those
items which he argued Dunn was uncorroborated
and contradIcted by the other witnesses on both
sides OF the case, making in substance the same

Mr.. Brewster followed, discussing principally the
point that MIR. Hagert In opening the case for the

THE OUAKERS AND THE WAR.
Relief for the Suffering Non-COmbatauts I'm
Ernnco and lsermnnYa

frunco and Germany
The Society of Friends in England faithful to
the sentiments of humanity and charity which
have become traditional among them, have
undertaken to collect and administer
subscription for the benefit of the non,
German war, as distinguished from SOL
diers relieved by the funds for the sick and
wounded. The liberal efforts already made in
England in this direction have not sulliced for
more than partial and temporary relief, for the
distress is vast and far-reachiDg, immense dis
tricts on the coast of France being almost de-
vastated, and thousands of people left penness
and homeless, with winter close upon them, and
no prospect of help but from foreign benevo-
lence.
In Germany, also many extreme cases of
suffering occur, and as the season advances the
suffering of the destitute must increase in bitter
ness. The action taken by the Society of
Friends in England to obtain relief is character
istically wise and practical. central COM
mittee of twenty of their members, chosen from
the metropolis and provinces, sits permanently
in London, and local committees have been
formed in connection with them all over the
kingdom. This organization is similar to that
formed by the English Friends during the Irish
famine of 1S47. The amounts already promised
or subscribed reach about e20, 900.
Several Friends have already gone to the suf'
fering districts to investigate and relieve spe-
cially urgent cases, and others will follow.
Those going out bear documents from the
French and Prussian Ambassadors in London.
One of the committee is stationed at Brussels to
superintend the purchasing and forwarding OF
supplies. A Hebrew gentleman in London has
placed at the disposal of the Friends ware
house in that city (worth $4,000 year ren0

MIR. WESTON ADDRESSED THEM THUS:
"AIy Friends-I thank you for the encourage
ment you have given me, and feel that some
explanation is due at this juncture. l am very
sleepy. i have walked 140 miles with only one
hours sleep. For the last 40 miles ! have been
asleep while / walked. l wish you to under
stand that this is my first attempt to walk 112
miles in twenty-four conaecutive hours; but it
won't be my last during this walk. You who
have bets on this race mead not fear that you
have lost, as | intend attempting the task again
tomorrow. L shall walk on for 25 miles fur
ther tonight, on the 400-mile match, and then
shall take good sleep, and after being thus
refreshed shall start again on the liz miles to-
morrow.
81 feel quite certain that shall manage the 400
miles, and will try hard for the liz, and have
no fears hut l shall do it."
SPEECH OF PROFESSOR DoREMUs.
Ladies' and Gentlemen:-I am requested by
Mr.. Weston to state that in consequence of not
being able to sleep more than an hour and a
fraction prior to undertaking the ABNORMAL task
of walking 112 miles in "a hours, he abandoned
IL InlS aIJernOOn having Since Slept sOunuly
for one hour, he commenced walking at z this
evening, and will continue until o'clock to-
morrow morning. He will then sleep for six
hours and at 10 o'clock Oo-morrow morning)
will resume his effort to accomplish the astound-
ing feat of 112 miles within "a hours.
According to his calculations he is ahead of
his time for completing his 400 miles within
five days.
II cannot avoid reference to an important
coroarium, in addition to the interesting scien-
tifc investigations: that this marvellous feat of
physical endurance is being performed without
the use of alcoholic stimuli"
SUCH A TEMPERANCE SERMON
has never been preached in this or any other
great city"
The place was now splenddy filled, and there
were at least three thousand present, of whom
many were ladies of our best circles. They
joined heartily in the applause that followed
the Professors speech, especially the temper
ance part. In ten minutes the indomtable
Weston was out again walking, his pluck as
good as ever. "Drs. Tying and Potter and Mr..
Aspinwall were in the private box arrangement,
and shouted encouragement to the brave fellow.
He now walked like a trooper till he completed
the 220th mile, the last 100 being done in "a
hours and 80 minutes.
