CONFEDERATION IN cov1NGroN.
Tho Los: Estimated at $4,000.

About half-past II O'clock last night sew
eral alarms Of fire were turned in by the
Covington fire-bells, calling the department
to the neighborhood Of the Kentucky Cen
trail Railroad depot. The lurld light in
the heavens showed that big confagra-
ton was going on.
The fire began in the carriage factory of
Joseph Hartke, Nos SO and 65 Pike street,
and as the wind was blowing almost gale,
the place was soon enveloped in flames.
Myriads of showers Of sparks were sent
through space in all directions and threat
ened to set fire to houses several blocks
away.
The new frame depot Of the Kentucky
Central was on one side OF the fire and
Henry s. Percival's big tobacco house on
the other. The engines had all they could
do to quench the flames that were contin-
uously bursting forth from roofs, sashes
and shutters. The Holly system proved
failure as the water from the plugs could
pot be made to throw higher than q dis
tance Of ten feet, and the work of putting
down the confagrations was left to the en-.
gines As brook and Bob Howe. The
house adjoining the factory and occupied
by M. Bleyer dealer i'm hides, etc., was
the next to go up in blaze.
1t now looked as II the CITY was doomed
and Cincinnati had to be called upon by
telephone tor aid. Engine No. l., OF Race
street soon went laundering over the
b. idge ana by its work on getting to the
scene Of devastation, did nearly everything
in subduing the flames.
During the fire Mr.. John Maurer, MEM
Der of the police force, was struck on the
head and severely injured by the breaking
and falling of a ladder and had to be taken
home in carriage. ...... ,,.
The brick houses destroyed were owned
by two sisters named Helman, and both
widows. Besides these frame belonging
to the estate of Joseph Freer was c. pnsumed.
The latter was occupied by H. Margolin, a
rag dealer, and one of the bricks by Mr..
Hartke. One Of the Mrs. Helman was liv-
ing in the upper stories over Mr.. Bleyer's.
There was no insurance on the builting,
but MIR. Bleyer carried $1,000 insurance,
which will fully cover his los. Mr.. Hartke
loses probably $1,000 in stock. The total
loss 10 estimated ut $40 or more.

The Cincinnati Workingmen's Club.

The Cincinnati Workingmen's Club" Is
ne name of an association recently inaug-
urated In this. city chiefly through the per-
ssvering efforts Of Rev. l. N. Stanger, Rec

urday evening, the 21st of February, and
stnrted with some six or eight members
The rooms of the club are conveniently
and pleasantly located, at No. 46 East

About eighteen months ago, some time
n the fall Of 1873, Mr.. Stanger first began
practically to shape out his plans for the
bounding of club of this description, the
need Of which In Cincinnati was apparent

classes of an Eastern city.
In aid of his purpose he had already Sc

several hundred dollars, " hen intervening
sircumstances compelled its postponement

In prOmiscuous contributi ms great and

accumulated to an extent that sWelled the
amount In money In few weeks to 81, 100.
This sum was deemed sufficient for the
pecuniary maintenance OF the Club for the
hrst year Of its existence, after which time
h would be self supporting. Thus it was
started on Its career Of usefulness.
Among the subscribers to this fu, are
some Of our leading professional and bust
ness men, and a number of ladies of we'll

etanger's most liberal and ardent friends
and supporters in this laudable under.
taking. The names OF all these will be
published when the officers of the Club
mako their first annual report.

DANGER OF A MOB
In NEW YORK.
Eorewarned is Forearmed |!

Under certain contingency there is a
possibility of mob in New York that
would exceed in numbers and violence any
that has has ever assembled in the country.
1t is acknowledged that any event that
draws together an immense crowd of all
classes of people, containing all the ele.
ments of dangerous mob, is source of
grave apprehension to the police authori-
ties. Imagine then the result if the half
million of people in that city who use

ASit Used to re.

One hundred years ago not pound OF coal or
a cubic foot Of illuminating gas had been burned
In the country. No iron stoves were used, and
plOyed until DR.. Franklin invented the IRON
framed fireplace. which still bears his name.
All the cooking and warming in town as well as
In the country were done by the aid of fire
kindled on the brick hearth or in the brick
ovens. Pine knots or tallow candles furnished
the light for the long winter nights, and
sanded floors supplied the place OF rugs and
carpets. The water used for household pur-
poses was drawn from deep wells by the creak
Ing sweep. No form OF pump was used in this
country, SO far as we can learn, until after the
commencement OF the present century. There
were no friction matches in those early days,
by the aid OF which fire could be easily
kindled, and If the fire went out upon the hearth
over night, and the finder was damp, so that
the spark could not catch, the alternative re-
manned OF wading through the snow mile or
so TO borrow brand OF neighbor. Only one
room in any house was warm, unless some
member OF the family was Ill; In all the rest
the temperature was at zero during many
nights in winter The men and women of
hundred years ago undreSsed and went to their
beds in a temperature colder than that of our
barns and woodsheds and they never COM

Turning to look from whom tue sound arose,
He saw slow marching meath The drifting SHOWS

Upon his maiden daughter there son,

Altho' his hand scarce hides the scaidine tears.

That pierces to her heart like poisoned lance,

Hath flung herself down blinoly in the snow,
And hers, oh Car, was that heart rentnS scream

Catching CetyWayo.

We mounted, and having skirted the hill for
ABOUT 100 yards found smaller hill, on which
purpose Of lookout but luckily there was no
sentinel to give the alarm. Then again came
IN sight the kraal, dn which we ultimately
found CetyWayo), about 400 yards distant.
Capt. Gibbings to the right, Capt. Godson to
the left, away we galloped to surround the Kraal;
MAJOR Marter taking the lead In the middle,
through grass, over boulders, large and small
tingent, stripped of their red coats, closing up
the X. D. Gs, and every man ready to cut down
any zulu who should attempt to break through
one shot was fired by the Zulus, and then they
were warned to surrender. How many there
were we had no means OF knowing. We then
began to search the huts; each was carefully
last but one Of the 10 was entered,
and there we found the Zulu King. A
magnificent fellow he was-eyery inch King.
short glance at him was sufficient to satisfy
one that the dread and respect with which he
was regarded by the Zulus was genuine But
It were idle to describe him, his portrait is pho
wiIdow3 besides portraiture is not the forte OF
the X. d. Gs. One of ours compared him to the
late KING of Hanover, SO much was he struci,
with his kingly bearing. He was dressed in a
large red and green cotton tabie-cover over his
shoulders and spOrran of tigers tails, with a
sort OF tablier OF leopard-skin behind. With
the King there were several women OF various
ages, variously costumed in African fashion:
there was also the captain Of his body guard,
(amost Misunderstanding savage,) his Cham
berlain, and some 80 attendants. In
searching the kraal we found many rifles, soae
of the latest pattern. The search was soon over
for, Cetywayo captured there was no time to be
lost in taktng him away, lest an attempt SHOULD
be made to rescue him.; the day was drawing to
a close, and 1t was essential that we should rest
in the open plain before night. The Zulu King.
however, though prisoner, did not seen dis
posed to move when required. We wanted to
return the way we came he wanted to go by
the valley, as he SAID he could not climb. At
last we began to move, our Major walking
close to Cetywayo, with his revolver in his hand
and dismounted dragon on either side: and
thus we proceeded for about four miles along
the valley, when, darkness coming on as we
reached kraal, our prisoner was placed inside
one hut with the ladies OF his choice. and the
rest Of the party in other huts all closely guard
ed. AnNiously we waited for daylight; for we
felt that the prize In our hands might be taken
from us had we been attacked in force. No at
tempt at rescue was made, and at daylight we
proceeded on our march, when, about midday,
after we had left the valley, we came most un,
eSpectedly upon Lord clifford in command of a
body OF irregulars, who had been out on the

met with the same success. Thus was Getty
