A MESSAGE OF DEATH AND MOURNING
The steamer ISABEL, which arrived yesterday
from the interior, neared our city with her Dag at
halfmast. indicating that she was the bearer OF
unwelcome news; and. while there were various
conjectures as to Its import, none had Tor mo-
rnent pictured the colossal magnitude OF the
awful calamity which had taken place.
THE FATAL REVELATION.
The Information which has reached us on the
subject is contained in letter dated in salazar,

Chicago, April 2s.-A Washington
ton special says that Special Agent
Elliott, from Alaska, is here, super
vising the printing of his last report.
This report will confirm the important
positions which excited so much. curl
osity in the scientific world, and
which were so violently assailed.
Elliott maintains that, for physiologi-
cal reasons, the seals will never leave
Alaska, and will, consequently, al
ways be source of revenue to the
government.
Another dispatch says the principal
subject of discussion at the cabinet
meeting, to-day, was the situation on
the Mexican border. The official re-
ports as to the raiding parties were
formally presented and considered.
They consisted of the report received

Oshkosh, Wis, April 2S.-A terrible
fire has been raging all the afternoon.
All the newspaper offices, banks, tele-
graph offices, Harding's Opera House,
Post Office, Universalist Church, all
the hotels but one, and nearly all the
business portion of the city are burned.
1t is utterly impossible to estimate the
loss. Two men have been killed by
falling walls. The city is in the wild
est state of frenzy. The fire is now
under control. The burned district is
nearly mile square. More particu-
lars soon.
10 p. m.-The fire broke out this
afternoon in Morgan & Bros. saw
mill, burning that and dozen other
saw and shingle mills on Saw Dust
Avenue, and millions of lumber, hun
dreds of houses, all the printing offices,
Harding's Opera House, and the Beck
with and Adams hotels. The burnt
district is a mile and Il half long and
half mile wide. Three lives are
reported to be lost. Hundreds of
families are homeless. Nearly all the
business houses are burned, including
all the banks. There is not a dry
goods store standing on the north side.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss
tonight. The city is in the hands of
mob, and extra police are on duty.

postmasters who have been molested,
and of the reports of the army officers.
These documents substantiated most
of the dispatches from the Mexican
border. The Postmaster General
showed that several of his officers
had been killed. The Secretary of
State manifested some restiveness at
these raids. 1t is understood that the
Mexican Government has disclaimed
all responsibility for these incursions.
1t is evident that, if these raids are to
continue, the border mail service will,
of n necessity, be discontinued. No
formal conclusion was reached, but it
was generally understood that note

Chicago, April 2S.-There is great
satisfaction at army headquarters here
as well as among the many civilian
friends of Major Robt. Macfeeley, over
his appointment as Commissary Gen
eral in place of Gen. Shiras, deceased.
The unusual honor conferred upon
Major Macfeeley is the more notable
in that it is was entirely unsought by
him. The army officers recognize the
appointment as one made solely upon
the merits of the appointee.

A moonlioht weddinp Was recentlY

A moonlight wedding was recently
celebrated on the banks of the
Mantle River, in Connecticut, under
peculiar circumstances. The bride
and groom, with their friends, called
on the dominic of Mantle village
in the evening, and desired him to
unite them. When he looked at
their certificate of punishment he
discovered that it had been made
out in the neighboring town of
Waterford, and was valueless in
Mantle. There was a futter of con-
sternation for a moment, and then
the bride pluckily suggested that
they should walk ever to Waterford,
a mile distant by the railroad tract,
as it was too late for the train. In
that town no suitable place could be
found for wedding ceremony ex-
cept the hotel, which was vetoed at
once, as the party were Good Tenn
plars. Again the bride came to the
rescue and declared that an open
air wedding would be decidedly
romantic. And by the edge of the
quiet stream, with the bridal compa-
ny standing around in the moonlight,
the couple were made one. $3.50

AFTER DEATH. IA usually placid
and very devout deacon on going to
his sheep yard one morning caught a
large dog in the act of worrying the
sheep. The deacon dispatched the
dog on thespot, and leaving the car
eass where the dog fell, started for
the house. He had gone but little
way when his Indignation became so
aroused by the thought of the mis-
chief the dog had done, that, seizing
sled-stake, he ran back and began
to pound the lifeless carcass of the
dog in most energetic manner.
Just then neighbor came up, and
surprised at the conduct of the dea-
con, exclaimed; .T
"Why, deacon, what are you
pounding that dog so forS He's
dead!o SOB ~ ei h5if's
