Eks5" REMITTENT FEvERs- THE WAY TO
ESCAPE THEM.-A dose OF PLANTATION BITTEEs,
taken night and morning. will enable the sys-
tenn to repel the deleterous influence Of these
fruitful sources of epidemic disease. 1t is in
evidence that in many instances where the
greater portion of the population Of an entire
mittent fevers, the few who have had sufficient
forecaste to take the BtteIs as a preuen.ipe
have escaped the scourge. As a remedy after
an attack has actually commenced, this cele-
brated tonic and anti-bilious elixir is in
variably etficacious. In such cases, if taken
when the fever is off. it will soon control the
paroxysms, and when the patient is GONZALES
cent, will restore the appetite and recruit
the strength more rapidly than any other
stomachic and invigorant in use.

Luckily, however the power OF the steam was
expended amcng the piles of brick and stone
that had fallen around the boilers when the
roof and walls came 10 the ground. At TINS
juncture the sparks we're blown In such large
bodies across the streets that the tenements and
places of business In the vicinity were placed
in jeopardy, and the prOprietors. apprecieting
that fact, moved all they possessed out into
the streets with astonishing celebrity. That
the prccaution taken was not unnecessary
soon became painfully evident when 1t was dis
covered that the fiery tongues had shot over the
entire width of Raymond street and set large
tobacco factory and waterproof establishment
on fire; similar werk had also been going on on
the Navy street side among a row of combusti
bic shantiee, the roofs aud back OF which we're
cleaned off in q remarkable small space of time.
On the tobacco factory getting ignited, no little
excitement was created among the rowdy ele-
ment OF the spectators, who, seeing that there
was then fifty feet between the fire and the City
Jail, delighted themselves with the prospect of
seeing that place shortly reduced to ashes. All
their hopes, however, were blighted, for the
flames, having thoroughly cleaned out the fac
tory in which they started, were totally extin'
guished.
MIR. Prentiss, the owner of the factory, was
visited by Fire Marshal Ready Immediately
after the confagration and in answer TO the
usual questions stated that his loss on building
and stock would not be less than 1850 600, On
which there is an insurance of $150,000 in about
thirty different companies, the names of which
he could not give. How the fire originated he
could not tell, but believed it was the result OF
friction in place known as the clutch-room,
near to the eDgine-room.
The factory was built entirely of brick, and
was looked upon as one of the best equipped in
the couhtry. There we're about 500 persons
employed in it, most of whom are poor people
depending upon the work obtained here for q
living. These are, of course, all thrown out ol
employment.
The damage to the cloth factory owned BY
Rollins d Co. is estimated at $50, 600, part o.
which is covered by insurance. The loss to the
poor people in the tenements around canno
fall short of $50 000 that it is safe to estimate
the destruction wrought by the con1agration a
half million dolars.-N. Y. Times, to-day.

VESSEL OWNERS.

Demurrage Charges-HarbOr Masters and
Port Warden's Fees.
The Vessel Owners and Captains Association
held meeting yesterday afternoon at the room,
No. 1913 Walnut street. -
The committee appointed at previous meet
ing to confer with the shippers of coal reported
substantially that the latter desired the associa-
tion to modify its bills of lading that in cases
where vessel was discharged in less period
than the time allowed, drawback OF an amount
equal to the demurrage charged be allowed.
The report was received, and the committee
was instructed to obtain the best proposition of
the coal shippers to the quantity of coal to be
unloaded each day.
The following gentlemen were appointed to
confer with the Collector of the Port in relation
to the collection of Harbor Master'sla Port
Wardens fees, at the Custom House, in confor-
nifty with the opinion of the Treasury Depart
ment, viz.:-Captain D. s. Stetson, Captain
Jonathan May, Francis Edwards, Joel Cook, Jr.,
and Samuel Nelson, Esq. The association next
considered the case of Captain Thomas Naylor,
of the schooner Emily II. Naylor, spoken while
coming into the Delaware capes, and for which
half pilotage was demanded, in conflict, as was
alleged, with an act of Assembly of the State of
New Jersey, approved March 81, 1871, providing
that from the passage of said act mo citizen OF
New Jersey being master OF any vessel, naVl-
gated under q coasting license and employed In
the coasting trade, and whose vessel shall be
bound either in or out of any of the navigable
waters of the State of New Jersey, or over
which the said State has concurrent jurisdic-
tion with other States, constituting waters
wherein pilotage is usually charged, demanded,
or received, whether the same be in or out of
the capes of the Delaware, or in the Delaware
Bay or river etc, shall be required to employ q
licensed pilot .Ho3 !'DH = ~
Captain Naylor being citizen of the State OF
New Jersey, claimed exemption under the fore
going law, and in the event of payment OF the
half pilotage being insisted upon, 1t was resolved
by the association to defend this and other siml-
lar cases until a test shall be decided upon.
After some further business the association adj

MYSTERIES OF ITALIAN CRIME.

Extraordinary Scene In n Florence Thea
tre-An Actor Shot Dead ON the Stage by
a Bullet Placed In Gun by Some
Enemy.
Florence Correspondence London Daily Standard
An awful occurrence took place few even
ings ago at the Principe Umberto Theatre, in
Florence, during the performance of an eques-
trian spectacle entitled The Capture Of Otprl-
dno la Gala. At the eliminating point of the
piece there is a grand engagement between a
band of brigands and party of sharp
shooters, the former stationed upon a group
of rocks and the latter on the level ground,
Just when the combat was at its height one of
the sharpshooters fell, and in so natural man
ner that the act was greeted with an enthusias-
tic round of applause. moment afterward,
however il was plain that something had gone
wrong. A couple of men rushed upon the stage
and lifted the body of the PROSTATE actor, when
it was at once seen that he was lying in pool
of gore. Cries and shrieks arose from every
part of the house; women tainted, and men
jumped upon the stage. Meanwhile the orches-
ira continued to play and many of the per-
formers continued their parts, Others, men
and horses, rushed about in wild confusion. At
last the manager, pale as death, came forward,
and his aspect at once hushed the house into
silence. An untoward accident Che said) had
Just occurred and the representation must at
once be brought to an end. The house was i'm
mediately cleared, but crowds fingered for some
time about the neighborhood of the theatre, aud
1t was soon known that the man who had ma
turally" dropped on the boards had been shot
through the head, and was a corpse before the
first echoes of the public applause could have
reached his ear. Ia the Italian theatres certain
gentlemen, who exercise their Office by turns,
are ansWerable for everything connected with the
good orderof the representation the taking of pro-
per precautions against accidents, and 80 forth.
On the evening in question the official on duty had
superintended the loading of the firearms and is
ready to take oath that they were charged with
powder only. The bullet, therefore, that shat
tered the skull of the poor sharpshooter in the
mimic fight was presumably slipped into one of
the barrels after the guns had been distributed
among the company-out by whom, and Tor
justice is endeaVoring to fad the clue. It
should be added that the King was, according
to his custom, present at the entertainment,
having a great passion for all horse spectacles,
and occupied mis- usual place in box close to
the stage, In the company of the Bella kosna and
her daughter, the Marehieness Spinola. The
sh0t, however, supposing 1t intentsnal, could
not have been directed at his Majesty, for IL was
| fred in the opposite direction.

Arrest of a Merchant i'm New York for
Implication.
James Q. Jones, q commission merchant doing
business at No. 2e6 Duane street. was arrested
Yesterday by Detectives Tilly and Tully, on q
requisition issued by Governor Walker of Vir-
ginia, charged with forgery, and was this morn
ing taken to Richmond, Va, by Major Poe,
Jr., chief of the Richmond detective police
force.
Some time ago Mayor Chahoen, of Richmond,
was tried for forgery, and was sentenced to four
years imprisonment The forgery consisted in
the production of certain documents to prove
his right to large sum of money which would
otherwise lapse to the city. These documents
proved to be forgeries.
In his defense Mr.. Chahoon urged that the
documents had been given to him by James
G. Jones, formerly one of the most prominent
merchants In Richmond, but at that time az
alleged by the Mayor, dead. After the trial
and conviction of Chahoon suspicious were
aroused that Mr.. Jones was not dead although
so reported and for the past two months ac-
tive search has been made for him. About ten
days ago the detectives discovered clue, and
at once sent information to Major Poe. The
latter came to this city, and for week has
been working in concert with the detectives of
this city. Yesterday afternoon Jones was
arrested by Officers Tilly and Tully, when he
vehemently denied all connection with the
forgeries, and asserted that he would be able to
prove his entire innocence.-N. Y. Pos. Of last
