quarter, compared with the first quarter of

Dixon Qll.) April Sth.-A disastrous fire
occurred here last night, breaking out in
Thompson & Co. s mill about o'clock A. NJ,
and before it was arrested, burned Becker &
Underwood's mill, S. C. Eells & Co.'S -four
mill, and some minor buildings Loss, $780,
600; one-third insured. The saddest part of
the story is the loss of life. Ezra Becker
son OF III. P. Becker, and William Schum
clerk In drug store were killed. William
Rink had both arms broken, and c. p Lent
Patrick Duffy, Orville Anderson, W. w.
| Vaun and Frank Yeizenberger were all badly
injured.

this mornings fire was occasioned by a terrific
| explosion which occurred at 2 o'clock, and
threw down the east wall, scattering the fire
in every direction and hurting several fire.
men, who were upon the roof of Becker's
mill, into the mill-race. OF these, all but
Ezra Becker and William Schum escaped as
bya miracle. The others, who were assisting
| the fremen, were burned. bruised and ter
| ribly mutilated by the falling walls at the
same time. The loss will reach fully $780,
600.
California Legislators Lectured.
New York, April Sth.-The Tribune TO-
day commenting on the bill of the California
Legislature authorizing municipalities to re-
move the Chinese beyond their limits, de-
| clares that the Legislature is more dangerous
| to California than the incendiary orators of
the sand lot. There is not the least doubt
the rules laid down in the recent decision OF
the Circuit Court apply exactly to the bill.
The California Legislature has trifed with
peace and justice quite long enough, and it is
high time for them to recognize their re-
sponsibility to something beside mob clamor.

Divorce suit.

swer to Agnes Robertson's divorce bill de-
claTes that no marriage ceremony was ever
performed that he several times offered to

ciates have been so bad that even the police
classed his residence in London as {, suspi-
cious resort; that his daughter was prema-
turely married at the demand of her fancee,
Mr.. Clayton, that she leave her mother and
wed him Immediately; finally, that Agnes
Robertson is about to make theatrical tour,
and uses this suit for advertising purposes.
The New York Walking Match-McIn-
tyres Failure.
NEW YORK, April 7th.-The Telegram
says: The champion runner of California,
Mcintyre, is out of the race. He rested
great deal to-day, but the rest did not seem
to take the stiffness out of his joints or to
relieve his lame leg. The pace was too hot
for him in the beginning, and, like Faber, he
was foolish enough to waste his strength
on the first day. Again, he seems to be
trained down, like some others, to degree of
fneness that materially affects his staying
powers. He has a good record, and under
more favorable circumstances, and with bet
ter judgment, he may on some future occa-
sion succeed in gaining laurels on the tan
bark.

this hour stands Hart 405, Allen 365. Han

New YORK, April Sth-The Supreme
Court has affirmed the order of Justice Demo
hue refusing to grant the application of Cor
nelius J. Vanderbilt to have a person APP
pointed in place of William II. Vanderbilt as
trustee of the fund of about $500, coo which
was created by William III. Vanderbilt soon
after the withdrawal of the contest of Com
modore Vanderbilts will. The Judge adds {:
at seems almost incredible that counsel
could be found capable of advising such an
application, having neither law nor facts to
justify it. The application deserves nothing
but severe rebuke."
