Mr.. Beecher alluded next to his

A Two Million Fire.

DEADwooD, September 20. - At two
o'clock this morning fire broke out in
bakery on Sherman street, and the
flames spreading rapidly almost the en-
tire business portion of the city was
consumed.
The fire spread with such wonderful
rapidity that any attempt at saving
anything would have been useless. All
along its course terrific explosions of
gunpowder, petroleum, liquor, &C., were
of frequent occurrence. Buildings were
blown into atoms. The hook and ladder
apparatus and hose carriage were the
first things to burn, leaving but few
feet of worthless hose with which to
battle with the devouring Clements
The new water works were tried
for the first time yesterday, and this
morning they were put to their full ca
pacity, with little success in subduing
the flames on account of the scarcity of
water The hillsides were almost
solid sheet of flames. Hundreds of peo-
pie escaped with only their night clothes
Every team within seven miles of the
city was called into service to help save
what could be got out. There are prob
ably about two thousand people who are
homeless and many destitute. About
1873 buildings and so or 60 dwelling
houses were destroyed, and while it is
utterly impossible to get any definite
figures regarding the loss, well posted
business men place it at from $1,500,000
to $2,OOO,00O The fire is still burning,
but its material is exhausted and there
is no danger of its spreading unless
there is an unfavorable change in the
wind.

Women Swindled.

Mrs. Sarah Hall, a widow, has live d
on her farm, near Greenvllle, Pa, for
many years. Her only companion was
a maiden sister. The sisters came from
Wales, and have for years been prepar-
ing to return to that country. Three
weeks ago stranger stopped at their
house and asked for drink. He engag-
ed in conversation with the widow and
her sister. Upon learning that they
were of Welsh origin he gave his name
as James Morgan, and said that he was
also Welsh. He had come to this coun-
try in search of nephew. Being
unable to find him, he was making
arrangements to go back to Wales. as
soon as possible. 1t was soon agreed
that he should accompany them, and he
volunteered to assist them in selling
their property. Within week there
after he sold the produce on the farm,
the machinery, stock, &C., for $500 cash,
and, being unable to find purchaser
for the farm, he leased it, taking the
first payment of 500. On Saturday a
week Morgan said he must go to Mercer
to attend to some legal business in
relation to the lease. He took Mrs.
Halls horse and carriage, which she
was keeping until her departure, having
purchaser ready to take it at $500
when the day arrived. Morgan has not
been heard from by the sisters since.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. C.,' Sept, "a 1879.
Every report that comes from abroad
gives a gloomy picture to the affairs of
laboring and business men. From nearly
every section of this country the reports are
exactly opposite. Sec'y Ewarts, in addition
to the general inquiries sent out from the
State Department to consuls and other
officers as to the wages of laboring men
throughout the world, and to which 80
many interesting replies were received ard
published lately, has made a successful
effort to gather information as to business
affairs abroad. The result of compa rison
of business abroad with business at homo
is very gratifying.
Genl Grants reception In San Francisco
has been simply magnificent. There are
plenty of indications that he will meet the
same welcome wherever he may go. Peo-
pie will be wrong in giving political COM
plexion to the cordiality of the people.
The General may or may not have an
official future, but certainly nothing has
occurred since his arrival which seemed to
be inspired by his political admirers.
There is activity about all the public
buildings of this, the peoples national city.
The Departments are getting their several
reports ready for the printer, the legislative
and judicial buildings are being cleaned,
repaired and altered, to make ready for
Congress and the Courts, and everything
seems to be in fair state of preparation for
the coming season, except the Index to the
Congressional Record for the extra session.
OF course this produces a crop of allegation
as to the reason and motives of the delay.
1t is said by Republicans that the index is
kept back for the purpose of preventing
the Record from being used in the current
canvass as freely as it would be If the
Index had been completed earlier. The
matter is not very important to the public,
but the swift charges against the manag-
ing men of the two parties are instructive
as showing how ready politicians are to
find fault with each other.
When Congress assemblies an effort will
be made to extend our postal and CONNER
cial facilities by Govt aid. Apartial plan
failed last year, through prejudice and
misunderstanding but the plan will be
enlarged so as to reach all interests and
extend our communications to all foreign
markets, in order to increase the demand
for our products. South America is rich
market for all our surplus, manufactured
or natural, but the trouble is that England
has such monopoly that private enter
prise cannot compete with it. The English
merchants have had the benefit of Govern
ment aid, and ours cannot be expected to
succeed against such odds unless some
legislation is granted them. We buy
largely in South America and pay $780,
100000 cash per year for coffee alone, while
we do not sell one sixth of that
amount Of all our goods. In fact, most of
our goods have to be sold through British
agents and carried by British ships, thus
giving foreigners the largest part of profit
