About two O'Clock yesterday morning
an alarm of fire was turned in, calling
the engines to the corner of Poplar anG
Baymiller streets, where the large sash
door and frame factory Of Greenlees
Ransom u Co. was being destroyed by
flames. A second alarm was at once
turned in, but the efforts of the firemer
were directed not SO much to saving the
factory itselA which would have been a
hopeless task, as to rescuing the sur.
rounding property from destruction.
In this they were partially successful
although row OF cottages on the NORTH
side OF Poplar street, west of Baymiller,
with their contents, were totally dc.
stroyed. They were occupied by the
families of Joseph Griesmal, Mr.. Maine
and Mr.. Center.
The roofs of four three-story brick
houses ON Baymiller street, above Pop
lar, were badly burned, and the furni-
ture in the houses baaly damaged by
water. They were occupied by u. Cum
ningham, z. j. Cunningham, Mrs. Neal
and Mrs. Wood.
Wiegman's coal yard took fire at one
time during the fire, but the flames were
eXtinguished.
All the machinery and stock on hand
was completely destroyed. Three horses
kept in the stable are missing, and are
supposed to have been destroyed. Two
lumber wagons and a light spring wagon
are also destroyed. This factory was
struck by Lightning about seven years
ago. This time the work is supposed 10
be that of an incendiary. The loss is
about $50, 900, on which there is an insur-
ance OF 10000.
The insurance is divided as follows:
Amazon, Citizens, OF Cincinnati; North
western National, of Milwaukee, Wis
consiu; Citizens, of New Jersey;
Meriden, of Connecticut; Union, of Gin
cinnati; Buffalo German, Of Buffalo, N.
Y; Queen, of Cleyeland; Commercial,
OF Cincinnati, $1,000 each.
The Enterprise and Western, both of
Cincinnati, $500 each; National, $l,500,
and the Faneull Hall, of Boston, 81, $50.

ANCIENT TREES IN NEVADA.

The Virginia City (Ncvada)
Enterprise says: In tho bottom OF
the main shaft Of the Virginia City
Coal Company, EIdorado Canon,
Lyon County. has been encoun-
tered in the trunk Of 4 tree four
feet in diameter, 4 long relic of IN
ancient and extinct forest. When
cut through by the shaft, this old
tree is found TO be perfectly car.
bonized, turned into coal. Outside
the old log is completely crusted
over with iron pyrites, many of
which are so bright that the crys-
tails shine like diamonds. These
pyrite5 also extend into the body
Of the log, filling whut were ap-
parently once cracks or wind
shakes, and even forming clusters
about what was once the heart of
the tree. This relic OF an Old time
forest lies far below the two veins
Of coal the company are about to
open. The finding Of this old
trunk, is evidence that the coun-
try was at some time: ages and
ages ago, covered by a forest of
large trees, though the native
timber growth, when The country
was first visited by the whites,
anG as far back as the traditions
Of the Indian extend, was but i
shrubby species Of nutpinc. 4 few
miles from the shaft in which this
carboDized tree was found are to
be seen on the surface the petri,
fed remains of many large trees.
In the early days of Washoe, be-
fore the p:osr rectors had broken
them up for specimens, pieces OF
tree-trunks, two or three feet in
diameter, and twenty or thirty
feetin length, were TO be seen lying
upon the surface Of the ground.
However, these trees, and even
| the one found in the bottom oi
tho shaft Of the coal-mine, may
have come from the foot hills of
the Sierra Nevada Mountains
may have drifted out wien seas of
water, everywhere covered our
present valleys. The water-lines
visible On the hills show that the
whale country was filled with
lakes, and the petri6ed trees lying
here and there on the surface Of
the ground probably Aoated out
On the waters Of the extinct lakes,
and finally sunk to the bottom in
the places wherc they are now
found.

SsIsetsD Story.
JOHN M0RGAN'S ESCAPE,
A THRILLING EPISODE OF THE WAR
FOR SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE.

Col. Don. Piatt, oftho Washing
ton Capital, has communicated to
that paper, from Oakland, Yves:
Virginia, where he has been sum-
mcring, an account of John Nor
gan's escape from the Ohio Peni-
tcntiary, given by Confederate
officer, also sojourning at Oakland,
who was one of the party captured
with Morgan and Consigned with
him to the State prison. The
story is interesting, not only as
giving the Confederate version Of
the celebrated cscapade, not here
tofore published, but as a thrilling
narrative of one of the most dar-
ing exploits Of the war.
The first part Of the story is
taken up with the details with
which the readers Of the News
AND COURIER are already familiar.
Morgan, it is said, managed to
communicate with sympathizing
friends outside the prison, by the
uso of cenvicts, who, as their term
Of service was about expiring, and
whose conduct had inspired conf
dence, were sent into Columbus on
errands. At first it was his de-
sign to organize a general revolt
among the convicts, seize seventy
stand Of arms, which he knew to
BE- within the walls, overpowcr
the guards and blow up the prison.
From a convict with whom he
communicated through the ventila-
tor of his cell, Morgan obtained
information which induced him to
abandon this scheme and adopt one
entirely different. II was to the
effect that this convict, with a
number Of others, had been en-
ployed to open an obstructed drain
that ran the entire length Of the
prison, directly under the cells, to
the river. This drain Morgan de-
termined to reach, and through it
his freedom.
The cell appropriated to the
General was in the second tier
above, reached BY q stairway and
q gallery; so he selected tho one
occupied by his brother in which
to make the attempt. Their first
object was to obtain tools with
which to work. This they accom-
plished "y taking from the con
| y!cts' dinner table as they pssseG

Pennsylvania lady engaged berth
in a palace sleeping coach. When
she was ready TO retire she took
from her satchcl a gum bed, which
she inflated and placed in the berth
she was to occupy. 1t happened
that her berth was very close to

The HABIT OF SWEARING.-Tho
mcancst, most useless and most
contemplate vice that ever grew
rank in the hot-house Of the devil
is profano swearing. We protest
against it not as preachers and
church mem ocrS object 10 sin on
professional grounds, but as men,
bers OF society, as decent men. On
boats, in cars, in places Of business,
on the open street, ut concert
doors and everywhere else rings
the inccsSant oath Of the habitual
swcarcr. Young men just learn
ing to curse appear TO think there
is something manly aad brave
about it; while old swearers in
terlard the commoncst remarks
they make with cold-blooded bias
phcmics and d variety Of diaboIi-
cal curses. No man or woman Of
any refinement or dcccncy at ell
can be otherwise than lacerated
and shocked BY these brutal ard
and Vulgar verbal missiles every
day and 10 fellow who is shame
fully guilty Of projectingthem can
DO otherwise than sink beneath
the contempt Of such men and wo-
men with every vile epithet they
hear him utter. Public profanity
ought to be an indictable otfense
with penalty Of ten days in Jail
for every oath.
