We Iearn from our local reports that
+be citv Administrators have called
upon General Augur for the purpose OF
thanking him for the impartial manner
In which he has acted since the 9th OF
January. This is proper.
Now that Federal Interference In our
State affairs has ceased, and the officers
md privates Of the United States army
no longer occupy toward us the I'M
natural and, to them, most distatetul
attitude OF oppressors OF their 1eiloW-
citizens, we cannot forego the express
x,,on az our grateful appreciation OF the
honorable and most commendaple man
ner in which Gen. Augur has discharged
the delicate trust committed to him by
Abe late President of the United states.
IT ia ma far from our purpose as IL ls
foreign to our nature and habit to In
dulge in that species OF fulsome nat-
fery. which honors neither its recipient
nor him from whom 1t proceeds: nor,
while the threat of Federal bayonets
remained to remind us OF our subjec-
ton. could we have been induced to say
q word that might have been construed
into an appeal to superior power Tor
fairness, justice or mercy. But none
are more willing than we to award
praise where praise Is due, and 1t is
n we'll known fact that, since the super
sedure of Gen. Hancock, no General In
command of this department has dis
charged his duties in half 80 manly.
honorable and impartial q manner as
has Gen. Augur. In times like those
through which we have passed, when
constitutions and laws furnished US no
more substantial a support than would
a broken reed afford cripple. and the
destinies of this Commonwealth hung
upon the unregulated caprices OF a
partisan ruler at Washington, the most
disastrous consequences might have
attended any inconsiderate action on
the part OF the military commander In
this city. On the 14th Of January. when
that remarkable dispatch from Gen.
Grant was received here, in which the
President declared that he could not
patiently witness the gradual absorb
ton Of all governmental power by one
of the rival claimants Of the Governor
ship, and that IL either claimant was to
be recognized cit must be Mr.. Pack
ard" which dispatch led to Packard's
proclamation calling upon Governor
Nichols and our Legislature to dis
perse," it is not TOO much to say that, II
Gen. Augur had put upon that dispatch
the Interpretation which its language
justified, and which those who procured
its sending certainly meant him to give
To II. all that we had gained by the coup
de main of January 8 might have been
lost to US. But Gen. Augur calmly
awaited the sober second thought which
be felt must soon come and prevail In
the national council, and the crisis
nassed without injury tous. At the time,
we fully appreciated this exhibition OF
moral courage and its bearing upon our
struggle, and we take this occasion to
eynress our commentator OF Gen.
Augur's whole course as commanding
general of this department,

GRAND ACQUISITION. = II is not
strange that Mr.. Fred Cluett has been
the recipient ofthe warmest congratula-
tons at the happy combination Of agen-
cies that he is now permitted to make
public-the last important link to the
chain in the grand list being the Access
sion of the Peerless Estey Organ, pop
ularly known as the leading organ OF
the world. The many sincere friends
of Mr.. Cluett will take honest pride in
his success in the new store, and 1t is
but fair to presume that with the Stein
way, Chickering and Haines Bros, the
worlds best pianos, in association with
the organs already mentioned, bust
ness of large magnitude will be main
tanned, and the result prove that the
harvest was just ripe to be gathered.
AS II will be impracticable TO await the
completion of all the details in the new
store-at which time q formal opening
will occur-the buying public will
please bear in mind that the new goods
are being opened at the new store, No.
269 River street, and will be ready for
examination to-day, and all interested
in a purchase are invited to call and be-
come acquainted with special attractions
that will be offered.-[Troy Daily Press,

Burning ofthe steamer Montreal.

The steamer Montreal, which had
been engaged by the Portland and Og-
densburg railroad company TO run be-
tween Maquam Dock and Plattsburgh,
making her first trip Monday, was de-
stroyed by fire at the former place the
same night. The fire was discovered
about eleven O'Clock, and in short
time the steamer was In flames fore and
aft. The officers and crew barely
had time to escape. Capt. Vaudeville,
with his wife and child, reached shore
with difficulty, and lost all their person
al effects. The cook, Matilda Benway,
jumped overheard and swan to the
shore. The boat was soon burned TO
the waters edge, and the dock was also
considerably damaged. A freight car
laden with coal was also burned. The
origin of the fire has not been definitely
ascertained. The Swanton fire engine
was taken to the scene, two miles from
the village, but arrived too late TO be of
much service. The "Montreal" was
owned by the N. 7. Company of White
hall; was valued at s25, 900, and insured
for about $l2 900. There was no freight
on board. The steamer was built at
Shelburn In 1855; was 224 feet long, 23
feet beam, 500 tons burthen, and cost
$4,000. She was formerly owned by
the Champlain Transportation Company
and was run for several years as line
boat, and also on the ferry between
Burlington and Plattsburgh, and for a
time To st. Adams Bay. Since change
of ownership the saloon, deck and state
rooms had been removed, and the boat
converted into transportation and ex-
cursion steamer.-fSt. Adams Messen-

Terrible Calamity in New York.

A fire broke out Monday morning in
j. P. Halc's piano factory, West Thirty
fifth street. The factory was entirely
destroyed with, it is supposed, large
number of the employees. The flames
extended to the south side of the street,
destroying Connolly's barrel factory,
Graham & Co.'S silk factory, and several
houses adjoining on the south, and also
Walkers charcoal factory north of Thir-
ty-fifth street. The fire originated
through the carelessness of Nicholas
Monk, varnish rubber, who was heat
ing some varnish over stove, and
while his back was turned it got ablaze
and the flames spread like flash. He
fed Immediately for his life, giving the
alarm, but the windows being open the
flames swept through the building find
ing fresh fuel at every step. Ii is sup
posed that about two hundred men
were employed in the building. 1t is
not yet ascertained how many were
burned in the building. The hatchways
in one corner were open, and the flames
rushed to the upper story as if through
fiue. Some fell to the pavement, and
others, after wildly waving their arms,
fell back into the burning mass behind
them.
The great eight story wall on Thirty
sixth street fell almost without notice,
and who are buried under il will not be
known until the debris is moved away.
The widest excitement prevailed as the
flames leaped to the adjoining buildings,
mainly tenement houses, and men, wo-
men and children fed for their lives.
They saved nothing, and were lucky to
even escape with their lives.
II is impossible to estimate correctly
the losses, but they are put at about
$500, 900, and insurance, as far as ascer-
tanned, about 100000.

Mr.. Alvin Adams, the founder of
Adams's express, who was born in An
dover, VT, June 10, 1904, died at his
palatial residence in Watertown, Mass,
last Saturday. He was in every sense
of the word self-made man. He start
ed with very small beginnings, being
for three years his own messenger,
clerk and porter, and having only desk
room in al Office in Boston. He after
ward took partner. First the service
was extended to Washington, then
between Hartford and Springfield, and
afterward throughout Connecticut.
Later, agencies were established in all
large stations in South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Tennessee and Louis
lana; then the West, Southwest and
North were included In the system, and
by 1850 the business had become SO i'm
portant that Adams & Company arrang-
ed to send their money and packages
over the New York and New Haven
railroad, paying 81, 200 month for a
small space in the car of fast train.
Soon afterward the style of the firm
was changed to the "Adams Express
Company" the capital was increased,
and at one time the stock rose to the
price of $500 share-the par value
being 500. The house of MIR. Adams
in Watertown, Mass, was one of the
finest private residences in New Eng
land.

~ Brighman Young's death and bur-
ial, of necessity, has been matter of
public interest and discussion during
the past week. He has been noted
character and welded a tremendous in
fiuence since he succeeded to the lead
of the Mormon clan, retaining his pow
er to the last. We referred to his death
last week. The following description
of his funeral will now be of interest:
The coffin was of California red
wood, without ornaments, and the lin
ing of white satin. The corpse rested
on o wool mattress. The arrangements
of the funeral were all in accordance
with written instructions given by
Brigham Young in 1873. He desired
that his body be made clean and kept
from one 10 four days; that the coffin
be of redwood, two inches longer than
the body and three inches wider, with
a canopy top, giving the appearance OF
his being able to turn over ifhe desired
that he rest on a cotton bed, and be
dressed in temple robes; that the fe-
males of the family buy no black To
wear at the funeral, but they could
wear such if they had it; that the males
wear no Grape; that the services consist
of singing and prayer, and if friends de.
sired to speak few words they be al
liberty to do so; that the body be
carried on bier to the southeast corner
OF the private burying ground on the
east of the Lion House, and deposited
in a cut-stone vault, covered with slabs
and earth, then rooted over, and there
he desired to rest until the resurrection
lie desired no one TO cry nor exhibit
signs of grief. III he lived until the
saints went to Jackson, Mo-, he wished
to go with them and be buried there
otherwise as above. These instruction,
were signed and ordered to be read al
the funeral, and were so.
