Some festive individuals "April
fooled the firemen and the people
generally by ringing two false alarms
of fire, about half an hour apart, early
Sunday morning. To heighten the
delusion, several barrels were set aire
in front of store on Railroad Avenue,
near the depot. The companies were
out promptly, moving their apparatus
towards the blaze, but had not pro-
ceeded far when the hoax was made
known. The sell was received with
general good nature, but it was agreed
that there are many more appropriate
ways of perpetrating practical jokes
than by giving false fire alarms.

Burning Of the Union Stock Yards
The Loss Probably $780,.
O0O-The Insurance.

CHICAGO. October 1.-The extensive
packiue-house Of Armour & Co. at the
Union steckyards, took FIRE yesterday.
The two upper floors, with their entire
contents, were badly damaged, the stock
on the second floor suferd considerably,
while the lower floor escaped with com
paratively small loss. The building was
insured for $4,000, divided as follows:
Traders, $500; Merchants, Of New
York, $25OO; Brewers and Masters, Of
New York, $500; Exchange, Of New
York, S25O0. The loss on the building
may reach $4,000, but it a scarcely
exceed that figure. The stock Of pork
and other products was unusually light;
this may have been damaged to the ex.
tent OF fifty per cent though it is mol
probable. The insurance on the stock
foots up $4,000, divided as follows.
Northwestern National, Of Milwaukee
$780, St. Nicholas, Of New York, $500.
Phoenix, Of Hartford, S25OO; Westches
ter, Of New York, $500; Rhode ISLAND
Insurance Association, $1,000; Shawmut
Of Boston, $4,000; St. Louis, Of St. Louis

Toledo Fire and Marine, $500. TIL,
stock in the smokehouse was insured 70.
$4,000, psrceled out among a larg
number Of companies. The FIRE did bur
slight damage on these houses or apart
ments where the meats we're in smoke
but it wrought considerable damage il
the rooms which we're being filled, th
doors of which we're open. The actua
loss can only be guessed at. II ma.
reach $500 70, but cannot amount t
over $4,000.

DOES THIS MEAN WARE

Exciting News from the Rio Grande
San Antonio Herald, Sept. 27th.l
A telegram has been received this
morning at the military headquarters,
dated at Brownsville, which states that
Gems. Cansles and Trevino has resigned
their commands, unable to sustain the
outside pressure which is brought to bear
against them in consequence OF their
obedience Of the orders Of the Diaz gov.
eminent.
General Ord says this rumor lacks off
cial naturalization, but if it is true we
think there can be no doubt that war
with our turbulent neighbors cannot be
avoided.
The feeling Of the people of Mexico
along the border Of the Rio Graude is
known to be violently hostile against the
United States, aud they will stop at nc
obstacles which will lead to an open
rupture between the two countries.
These desperadoes have nothing "a
lose in a war, and everything to gain in
the way OF thievery and plumber, and
they will never be satisfied with any.
thing less than a long and bloody war.

ed in our local columns. 1t originated
upon an occasion which otherwise would
yield only the most pleasurable of en-
d~earing memories. The event has cast
a gloom over the entire community. The
n prevailing sentiment is that Of re-
greet. The unprovoked assault upon
Mr.. Woodbridge, as it appears to have
been, and subsequently insulting and
offensive remarks about him and his
family, seem to have been the result Of
stimulants and not of any previous feel
ing. These we're not fully retracted
yesterday morning, though a conditional
apology was offered. Mr.. Woodbridge,
smarting under his wrongs, which
seemed to increase rather than dimin.
ish, resorted to extreme measures, with
the result elsewhere described. We hope
on account Of both parties and in the in.
terest of the entire public that the worst
may be over. 1t was an exceedingly
unfortunate and most inopportune oe-
currence.

ROCHESTER, CONVENTION.
Republicans DenOuncing the COhVen.

NEW YORK, October 1.-The Herald,
Introducing an interview with a promi-
nens Republican, says: THE action of
the convention at Rochester in placing
the Republican party of this State in
a%ntagonism to the Southern policy and
the civil service order of the administra-
ton seems to have resulted in vitalizing
the slumbering energies Of the Presi.

tial party. If the views of gentlemen
who make the Union League Club their
headquarters may be taken as a critic.
rioR of the sentiments and sympathies
of the Republican party in this State,
Senator Conkling's triumph will be OF
short duration. They are almost unani.
nous in their condemnation of the
Rochester convention generally and the
policy of the obstructionist policy adop.
ted by Senator Conkling particularly.
The ~pacihcation Of the South and civil
service reform will now, they say, become
the ~shibboleths Of the Republican party"
The present tone of the interview is thus
closed: ut is plain to be seen that Mr..
Conkling will find arrayed against his
course at the approaching mass meeting
a majority of the strongest Republicans
in this city"
