A BIG BLAZE.
DESTRUCTION OF CAR STABLES.
The Barns of the Eighth Avenue (N.
W Horse Car Railroad De-
stroyed-Loss OF Life
and Property.

New York, Nov. 25.-One of the
largest fires for some time past in this
city took place this morning. Fire was
discovered in the stables of the Eighth
avenue horse car railroad, and not
withstanding that within Eve minutes
after the discovery fully forty streams
of water were turned cpon the blazing
burning, it was only when there was
nothing further for the flames to feed
upon that the fremen obtained the
mastery.
The stables we're in four story brick
building fronting on Eighth avenue and
Forty-ninth and Fiftieth streets. AL
most before movement could be made
to save tile stock in the stables the
flames burst simultaneously from the
windows on the Fiftieth and Forty
ninth street sides. Horses stalled on
the upper floors were united and run
down an inclined plane to the ground.
There were nearly 800, and the work of
getting them out was one of great diff
Guilty and danger. Blinded by thu
smoke and frightened by the flames,
they kicked and reared, and over one
hundred had. to be abandoned to de-
struction. Their piteous whinnying
could be heard above the roar of the
flames. The three upper floors wert
one vast sheet Of fire. Two brick build
ings, one liquor store and the other a
restaurant, cut into the stable building
on the corner, were saved. At this
point in the stables an immense guam
tity Of hay in bales was stored. When
these caught fire the sudden bursting OF
the bands that bound the bales caused
an explosion that shattered the side OF
the building and threw the brick wall
into the street. 1t fell with crushing
force upon ladder on which wert
Chief Campbell, Foreman John Welsh,
and firemen Henry Z. Mount and John
Regan. Each and all were buried
under the smoking mass, and a shout
of horror went up from the spectators.
Their comrades instantly fell to the
work OF rescue, and soon all were re-
covered. bruised, bleeding and insen-
sible. Mount had his skull and leg
fractured, and was also injured inter
nally. He died an hour afterwards in
the hospital. Regan had a leg broken
and was badly cut. Chief Campbell and
Foreman Welsh were painfully but not
seriously hurt, and remained on duty.

PRESIDENTS nEssAGE.
That Important Annual Document
Near.y Ready

Washington, Nov. 25.-At cabinet
meeting this afternoon the president
read to his constitutional advisers the
principal portions of his completed an
nual message. 1t has been prepared
after thorough consideration of its top
les at a previous session of the cabinet,
and there is understood to be an entire
unanimity among the presidents coun-
sellors concerning its contents. The
subject of the District of Columbia
commissionership, which will become
vacant by the resignation of Captain
Phelps on the 1st prox., was mentioned
to-day, but no action taken. The fact
was developed that ex-Mayor Emery is
strongly supported for the appointment,
and that his name is among those
which the president is seriously consid
ering. Gen. Halbert E. Paine, whom
the president intended to appoint to
this position, has expressed decided
unwillingness to accept it.

Rooms polIttcal prererenees.

Terre Haute, Ind, Nov. 25.-Sena-
tor Newton Booth, of California, stated
to-day that that state was practically
a unit on the Chinese question, and
that the times were improving there,
and the state was very prosperous; that
the republicans were sure to carry the
state at the next presidential election,
and also that they are decidedly friend
ly to Blaine for the presidency; that he
(Booth) preferred him, and that the
reason was not that he loved Grant
less, but Blaine more. The senator

TERRITORY OF WYOMING.
Thanksgiving Proclamation.


The return of the season set apart by
sime-honored custom, for special
offering of thanks to Almighty God for
His manifold mercies, brings with it
new grounds of gratitude, in that the
last year has witnessed the vindication
of the national honor, by a complete
re-establishment of the national credit,
and the entrance of our country upon
new period of great material prosper
ity. Health, peace and plenty, with a
renewal of industries long dormant,
have been granted us in remarkab BILE
degree.
Wherefore, it is most fitting that we
heartily unite in Inscriptions OF praise to
the Author of all Good, and that we also
humbly, reverepny and earnestly en-
treat of Him mot only continuation
of these great blessings, but also that
more precious gift of wisdom, to so
profit by them as to rise thereby to
a nobler individual and national life.
To this end, acting in accord with
the president of the United States.
do hereby designate and appoint Thurs
day, November 21th, 1879, as Il day on
which the people of Wyoming are i'll
vited to turn aside from their secular
pursuits, and prove themselves indeed
grateful by such acts of worship, of
christian charity, and of conservation
TO highest aims as will be acceptable
unto God, and fruitful of future good
to our country and commonwealth.
Given under my hand, and the great
seal of the territory, at the city of
Cheyenne, on this, the 18th day of No
vember, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy
nine, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and

IRISH AGITATION.
Progress of the Home Rule Boom.


Dublin, Nov. 25.-The excitement
through the west of Ireland shows no
signs of abatement. Large meetings
are being held in all the populous places
in the counties of Sligo and Mayo.
Parnell, in addressing a large meet
ing last night in Sligo, asked the peo-
pie to persevere in the agitation, and
remember his ADVICE, TO keep firm
grip on the land. Great crowds assem-
bled in the streets of Sligo to-day. The
examination of Davitt is proceeding.
Municipal elections are being held
and the mayor is very unpopular. One
hundred and twenty soldiers are un-
der arms in the barracks, and one hun
dred additional police are in readiness.
All of the western districts are be-
ing strongly garrisoned.
London, Nov. pa dispatch from
Dublin to, the Times says: "While the
Irish agitations tell the public that
they are engaged in legal and constitu-
tional agitation, and ostensibly advise
the people to keep within the law, the
country abounds with evidence that a
different Interpretation has been put
upon their language. Threatening
notes and acts of violence are practical
comments upon their words. These
are evil omens for the winter which
is.beginning to be felt.
"A correspondent of The Times calls
attention to the brisk trade doing at
the Irish fairs, in old government rifles.
One hundred and twenty-five rifles
were sold in the district of Dungannon
in one week at about seven shillings
each.

The Advance i'm Freight Rates.

A Chicago exchange says: There is good
deal of grumbling over the notification that a
further advance of Sc per loo lbs. will be made
in rail freights to the seaboard on the 18th inst.
One of our millers had just made a contract to
deliver $1,000 casks of corn meal on the sea
board, for export to France. when he was noti-
fed OF the change, which will Involve nearly
&c per 100 lbs loss to him on more than half
the quantity, as he will be unable to fill halt
the order before the rise occurs. 1t is certainly
an improvement over the former practice, to
give 10 days notice of an advance, as 1t pre-
vents loss to many people, but such a notice
does not cover a case Ike the above. We be-
lieve 1t was generally expected that no further
change in rates would be made after the one of
II days ago, and not few parties have made
contracts which threaten to involve them In
serious loss If the programme now announced
be carried out.
