Destructive Fire.

About 1 o'clock Thursday morn
ing the merchant tailoring store of
A. Loewenstein, on Alder Street.
was discovered to be on fire. A large
crowd was soon collected, but the
fire had gained such Roadway that
nothing could be done to arrest the
flames, neither could any Of the con-
tents be saved. The loss, near two
thousand dollars, is fully covered by
insurance. The fire was undoubtedly
the work of an incendiary.

Washington Letter.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 10, 1880

Washington, D. c., Jan. 10, 1880.
/ The advice of ali good republicans
is to keep cool about the great steal in
Maine. It is not so much of a steal rs
the Democrats hoped it might be. They
have nothing but bogus legislature.
They cannot pass a law or electa State
officer with the fraudulent concern
they have set up. Bye and bye it will
appear how ridiculous their claim is,
and they will come to the Republicans
to help them out of disagreeable d.
lemma. The rights of the majority
will prevail against wrong in the end.
Speaker Randalls pet rules have
crumbled to pieces apparently. The
fall elections showed that the people
were not fond of Democratic methods.
and so Randall fastened to stripe out
the more objectionable of his rules.
But since they have come up in the
House some Democrats have severely
criticised some that remain, and Ran
dall's effort to establish a code that
might Cypress the minority seems
likely to go to naught, like all Demo-
cratic conspiracies.
The Greenbackers had lively time
at their National Conference here.
Their gathering was an incoherent
mob, the odds and ends OF all political
| parties, bound together by soreheaded-
ness and desire to shine in public
somehow. They manifested the inn
portance Of uniting on any respectable
platform, and we shall look forward
with great curiosity to their Conven-
ton called at Chicago one week later
than the Republican Convention.
It is understood that Hon. John 3.
Hawlev, of Illinois, Assistant Secre.
tary of the Treasury, will be a candi-
date before the next Republican State
Convention of Illinois for nomination
for Governor. He served six years in
Congress beginning in 1860, from the
Rock Island district, and WAS one of
the most active and Jealous members
of the 4lst, 42d and Add Congresses. at
the expiration of his third term in Con-
yress be returned to his home and re-
sumed the practice of law. In Dec.
1877 he was nominated for the Office Of
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury by
President Hayes. The appointment
was rendered to him unsought, and
when the nomination was sent to the
Senate it was confirmed unanimously
without reference to Committee.
Such a nomination and confirmation
was most honorable to him and was a
high endorsement his Congressional
career. He has been true and faith
full Republican ever since the organi-
cation of the party, and has in Congress
and on the stump at all times vigorous
ly advocated the principles of that par
ty. His friends in advocating his no.
mination and election to the office of
Governor of Illinois, refer to his re.
cord rs most honorable, and claim that
he has filled with credit to himself and
party every position he has occupied.
The Democrats in Congress so far
are behaving very we'll, They are 60
ing very slowly and will continue to
do so if possible for fear of arepeti-
ton of the scenes of last session.

Of the Post Office Department was
called to a circular purporting to. be
issued by Lawrence Geo, Bankers
and Brokers' It was filled with
seductive words and accounts of poor
men who had become suddenly rich
through stock speculations. One in
stance IN particular was given of
clerk in the Postoffice Department.
here, who had intrusted 500 to the
firm named, and, by allowing it to
be continuously invested, had rea.
lized no less than $26, 900. The cir
cular was headed with a wood.cut
ola large building, with several
smaller houses by it's side, and the
New York custom.house in the dis.
lance. On the wall of the large
building the words Lawrence and
Co. Bankers and Brokers' were
conspicuously displayed. Convinced
that the firm, if it really existed, was
engaged in deceiving the public, the
Department authorized its special
agent in New York to investigate
the matter and report. The result
has been to unearth one Of the lar
gest; if not the most extensive,
swindling concerns in the country.
The list of swindling concerns
published by the Post Office Depart.
ment is already large, and many ad.
ditions will be made before the
wedding. OUT is completed. Mean.
while many, who have so far escaped
the vigilence of Judge Key. are flee.
ing, Of their own accord, from the
wrath to come. A too trustful pub.
lie has been put on its guard, and
poor men and women, who have
given their earnings in the feverish
hope of speedy fortune, have been
taught another lesson in the educa-
ton that the only way for them lies
through industry and economy.
Honest advertisers, doing legitimate
business, have been greatly benefit
ted and no reform that has been at.
tempted will be farther reaching in
it's benificent influence.

Historical "reminiscences.
PETER FRANCISCO,
THE SAMSON OF THE WESTERN HEMIs.
Pierre.

AS late as the year 1886 there lived
in Western Virginia, a man whose
strength was so remarkable as to
win him the title of the "Virginia
Samson. He knew nothing Of his
birth or parentage, but supposed he
was born in Portugal, from whence
he was stolen when child and car
ried to Ireland. His earliest recol.
lections were those of boyhood in
latter county. While yet a lad, he
apprcnticed himself to sea captain
for seven years. in pay for a passage
to his country. On his arrival, his
time and services were sold to Mr..
Winston Of Virginia, in whose ser.
vice he remained until the breaking
out of the Revolution. Being Of an
adventurous turn Of mind, he sought
and obtained permission Of his mas.
ter to join the army, and was en-
gagged in active service during the
whole contest. Such was his
strength and personal bravery, that
no enemy could resist him. He
welded a sword, the blade Of which
was FIVE feet in lenght, as though. it
had been a feather, and every one
who came in contact with him paid
the forfeit Of his life. At Stoney
point he was one Of the ''forlorn
hope which was advanced to#cut
away the abatis, and, nextto Major
Gibbon was the first man to enter
the works. At Brandywine and
Monmouth he exhibited the most
fearless bravery, and nothing but
his inability to write prevented his
promotion to a commission. Trans
ferred to the South, he took part in
most Of the engagements in that

rich fund rendered him a welcome
guest in the first families Of the
state. His Industrious and temper.
ate habits, together with his kind
disposition, made him many friends,
and through their influence he was
appointed Sergeant.at.arms Of the
Virginia House Of Delegates, in
which service he died, in 1886, and
was buried with military honors in
the public burying ground at Rich.
