Some of it was, however, removed to
place of safety. Nothing was saved
from any of the Offices in connection
with the depot, all being swallowed up
in a common, destruction. The tracks
were filled with cars, and most were
saved, but the men were unable to re-
move a number of fine passenger
coaches. The loss is estimated to be
between three and four hundred thou
sand dollars. Insurance not known.
The depot was frame building, put up
after the great fire for temporary use.
i 1t has transpired that at, secret
meeting Of the Workingmen's Associa-
ton of Chicago, held Monday night, it
was resolved to sever all connection
with the 1nternationalists. and that
hereafter the two, organizations shall
have nothing In common. An amend
ment to the platform previously adopted.
declaring in favor of the substitution of
weekly for monthly. payments, was
adopted, and it was decided to hold
grand mass meeting of the workingmcn

Chang and Eng are dead, and the
puzzle what would become of one when
the other died has been solved. The ST.
amese Twins were living at their
North Carolina home, surrounded by
| their brace of wives and numerous pro-
| geny. Unfortunately he--whether
Chang, or Eng, or both, is not
clearly stated in the account-had of
late taken to bad habits. He-the sim
gle or double Siamese-began to drink
and kept it up until he became much de-
bilitated. Chang took to his bed and
Eng, not feeling verv well himself, and
in fact having no choice in the matter,
Invent to bed also. The bed was wide
one, because it had to accommodate the
duplicate husband and the pair of wives,
but tie account does not say that the
wives took to their bed at the same time
with their husband-or husbands. Fri
day night last. Chang grew very sick
and at four o'oclock Saturday morning
suddenly died. Eng discovered the sad
fact at once. Here again we are left in
the dark as to whether he knew it from
it by turning over in bed and feeling the
GOODNESS of Chang. Eng was greatly
shocked and raved wildly. Stupor fol-
lowed, and in about four hours he was a
dead twin. If that account is true. one
great point is established; that the
twins had SO much of separate organiza-
ton that one could live four hours after
il the other was dead.

having control of Thompkins Square
withdrew their permit previously
granted to the Workingmen and re-
quested the Police Commissioners to
prevent the projected meeting being
held there. The Tribune furnishes the

densely packed, there being at leas,
