The negro, after committing the deed, fled to

when he expired.
The facts, as obtained by a DEMOCRAT reporter,
are as follows:

There has been prepared By the . oited States d
Patent Office an official account OF the late fire.
which destroyed two OF the most Important
wings Of the model room. IL will be issued as a.
supplement to the OBfcial Gazetle The history
of the destruction OF the models shows That 100
were burned and 1910 saved. In the fire OF 1886,
when the destruction Of the Office Was omplete,
not single illustrative rec I'd being preserved,
IL was not necessary to restore more than one
third of the destroyed models to make the office
satisfactory for practical working. sinety-fye
Thousand copies OF patents are now in the offce'
ready for distrbu ion. Thirty three original
drawings were destroyed, aud will have TO be re-
produced by the office at much cost and labor.
Thirty tons Of photo-l Telegraph copies were the
principal loss, but they can be replaced at cost
Of 100000. The losses by the fire are said TO
have been In the aggregate about 81, 500 GOO, in~
Guiding an ample ount to put the building in
q ire-proof condition and restore everything that
is actually necessary. II Is ascertsined that
surplus Of nearly 100000 is In the treasury to,
the credit of the patent fund, which amount 10
deemed amply sufficient, with proper expenditure,
to repair the damage done by the fire.

wears a standard establishment in the Western
produce and commission line Staunch and
strong, it has weathered many. q financial
storm and stands now as erect and firm as any
in this or any other section of country. We are
glad to see, by an announcement in another
column that two most worthy and expeT fenced
gentlemen have just become connected with this
house. viz: Mr.. F. O: Trepagnier and Mr..
Henry Delery. We would like to say something
in Complimentary way about our friend Mr..
Trepagnfer, but we know that his modesty
would rebel against it; therefore, we merely
mention the fast that, with great dignity OF
mien and character, he possesses most genial
and generous disposition and has had many
years experience in business. especially in the
Western produce line. No more able or popu-
lar man can be found engaged in the trade in
this city. The other partner, Mr.. Henry Delery
a nephew of Gen. Beauregard, has been for
many years connected with the house of Vose
Brothers, is young man thoroughly posted in
all the details and intricacies of the business,
and is noted for his intelligence. integrity and
energy. The new house, or rather, combina-
ton, has our best wishes.
