UNITED STATES MARSnAL,s SALE.
The Stcn mshfps MORO Castle and Colrm.
bia Put to the Hammer.

To Judge from the sparse attendance OF builders
present on pier No. at yesterdays sale OF the
steamships Moro Castle and Columbia, OF the
Havana Mail Steamship Company, advertised for
weeks past in the newspapers to come or on Tues
day. March H. for the benefit OF libelants against
the company the proceedings were not rife with
any material Importance to the shipping commu-
nifty. Whether 1t is that an Investment In floating
property has ceased to be remunerative or that
the pouring rain OF the forenoon jampened the
ardor OF SPECTATORS, the attendance was large.
At twelve O'Clock noon the hour announced for
the sale, the auctioneers, A. J. Blocker q Son,
offered the steamship Columbia for sale. The first
Did given was $4,000 and at s21, 500 the gave fell,
and Messrs. w. ii. Starbrick +. c. Schmidt, steam
shin brokers' No. South william street, were de-
clared the purchasers.
The steamship MORO Castle was next offered for
SALE the first bid being $4,000. Until 1t reached
$35 900 the competition threatened to be pretty
brisk, but upon reaching that ngure 1t began 10
lag when at s41 900 the auctoneer closed his book,
declaring the same gentlemen as in sale No. the
HERALD reporter called on Messrs. starbrick
Schmidt after the sale and asked OF them In
what trade they intended TO run the boats. They
answered him that they had not as yet decided.
II having been rumorcd around the sale that
Messrs. Starbrck & Schmidt were the agents OF
q Mr. Butterneld, a quondam director OF the Allan
tic Mail steamship Company, and that they had
made the purchase for him. the reporter, to be sure
the case, to which he answered negatively. lie
also told the reporter that he had made
the purchase solely on his own and partners &C
count and on their own responsibility. Such a
lack OF competition at 30 important o sale Mr..
Starbrck declared never to have witnessed the
result OF which was, as he asserted, that he had
obtained the steamers at'one-sixth OF their In
trlnsic value.

Of Insurances-Two Persons Injured
Narrow Escape OF Third.
At ten minutes to twelve O'Clock yesterday
Illig's extensive lager beer brewery, situated at
the corner Of Leonard and Scholes streets, Will
liamsburg, took fire and was entirely destroyed,
involving losses estimated at 100000.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
workman, named william E. jenkins, was
employed In finishing patent rubber flooring In
the icehouse, and 1t seems that the lamp he was
using in his operations was accidentally over
turned and produced flame that communicated
to some infammable material that he was using,
and soon the fire spread to the wood work
OF the icehouse and thence to the main building,
raging furiously that by the time the fire engines
arrived the interior OF the building was burning in
all parts The situation was bad at this time
that chief Engineer Smith found it necessary to
strike . second fire alarm.
THE PIREMEN AT WORK.
When the 1remen got fairly at work the names were
bursting from all the windows OF the four stories,
and for several hours the dense volumes Of water
poured into the building seemed to have but very
little effect; but late in the afternoon there
visible decrease in the fiery element, and soon
water became triumphant over nre-at least the
flames were confined to the brewery, and adjacent
property owners were relieved OF their terrors.
THE STOCK IN THE BREWERY
was quite heavy, consisting OF 5000 bushels or
malt, 1900 barrels OF beer In fermentation and
large quantity OF beer in the cellar.

Senior FIGUERAs, the President OF the Republic,

Mr.. MiNisTER-A grave responsibility accom-

OF the Assembly, and which has been recognized
by the adhesion OF the nation, responsibility suf-
fcient of itself to overwhelm If there were not
moments OF consolation and support like these
when your most eloquent words bear to my ears
the mighty voice OF the American people haing
with their benediction the advent OF the Republic
in our own Spain, attained by her moderation and
energy. and which she will preserve and maintain
by consummate prudence. As the faithful and
sensitive interpreter OF the sentiments that ami
mate your race you have reminded us Of the graft
tude your people feel towards our people, because
the daring OF our explorers discovered, the valor
OF our heroes conquered and the faith OF our mis-
sonaries evangelical great portion OF the vast
domain lit by the shining stars Of your glorious
Commonwealth. But even had the memory Of
those deeds not required to you and to us who are
OF the stock that achieved those copquests and
even did they not possess such glorious character
they would acquire 1t to-day because they form
bond OF union between Spain which carried TO your
shores the genius Ol CiVluZatlOn, ana America
which now gives US by her example the fruits Of
liberty and democracy.
You are grateful to our people for these immortal
and historic Deeds but how much more gratitude
do we not owe-we, whose lives have been devoted
to the hard problem OF uniting democracy and lib
erty-to the noble Pilgrims, the founders OF your
institutions who, inspired by their own serene be-
lief, sought beyond the seas temple for their I'M
ettered consciences, and founded in the new world
new order OF society which, organized and per;
fected by the republican spirit of the eighteenth
century, has united in perfect equilibrium the au-
thority OF society with the inherent rights OF man,
the restless vigor OF democracy with the firm sta
bility OF power the free outgrowth OF all the aspi
rations OF the human soul with respect Tor the in
terests OF others and for the laws-a worthy ex.

Mr.. Minister, the Spanish Republic win ever

strengthen the ties OF friendship between Spain
and the United States. We possess In the New

Of II, sercnaded newly married couple, after
which they visited the neighboring saloons, and
drank freely, becoming boisterous and moro
mischicyous than ever, On Dorland's starting

opposed him aud procured horse, On which
they tied him with ropes aud thongs, dis
regarding his cries and the plunging Of tho
1ow furious besst, This accomplished, they
rode him through tho stroats, which was kept
up for some time, after sFhieh with much
trocblc, they put him on terra .frnl1, but find
ing him unconscious, he WIS conveyed to the

The gemes.er ia driven into reckless prodigacy
by the necessity Of throwing whole penny into
the pool at ore time. Tho game causes the ut
most excitement and the mott intent ardor
amoag the players. On the table is & kind OF
dnis with ho1os all around it. Into this each
player puts a. many tseen or pennies as he
wishes, the number being restricted within a
certain limit, and then spring makes all the
pennies put in tumble into heap. Each player
then guesses the number OF pennies in Tho pool,
and the one who guesses the nearest obtains the
simple, and one would imagine that each player
would put in the anal1est number OF pennies
possible. But this is not so; for each one tries
to clrcnmyent tho others by his cunning. 4
player will put in sometimes a great many more
pennies himself then the other, and then guess
in proportion. The main amusement OF the
game to An outsider is the manner OF playing it
tho many ways which the players employ to
make bolieve that they are putting in many pen
MES by enla1ging their fists, or that they are
putting in little By making them smaller, when
they may bo doing tho vary opposite. It is OK
