ment to be delivered to their friends. Be-
coming desperate, be forged ex-Secretary
Sews,ds name to check for $4,000, and
received the money on It from a we'll known
and esteemed citizen OF Washington.-
Thereupon be Immediately left the city in
disguise, and, after many narrow escapes
from arrest, reached Omaha. He spent oil

day q fire broke out in the hand press of R. a..
Harney, on the alley next south of Exchange
street, which threatened to be serious affair,
but was luckily promptly extingulshed By the

in which the press is located was strewn with
a lot of damaged cotton opened out to dry,
and the owner and employees were all In the
office above when the smoke began to rise up
from the room below. They ran down and
found the cotton in flames, which speedily
communicated to several large bundles Of as
sorted rags lying near By. The alarm was
given at once, and, at the RIGGING of the bells,
the engines and Hook and Ladder, No. l, were
soon on. the spot. Before they could get to

tingulshed as above mentioned, with the aid
Of several of the fremen.. No damage was

reports that he did not get clear OF the Capes
until Sunday evening, owing to the ice, which
was twelve or thirteen inches thick at some
points of the bay. The weather was worse than
is remembered for some years past. The decks,
rigging, &c., Of the Gulf Stream were covered
with ice, and walking about was attended with
the risk Of having pieces OF ice dropped on to
ones head from the rigging and spare. We
are glad to know that captain and crew all got
through in good condition and are very glad
to get into the latitude of Dixie.
