4 Terrible Disaster.

New York, August 10.-A few
minutes after : o'clock this morning
4 fire broke out among the shipping
at Hunters Point, East River. which
spread TO the immense lumber wards
on the river front to the north Of
NewtoWn Greek, and before Il

the materials for explosions and
large conilagrations are at hand.
I The fire was caused by the large
bark Nictaux. which was loaded
with naphtha, and had been on fire
since Yesterday morning, floating
/ across Ncwtown Creek from the
Grccnpoint side TO the Hunters ;
Point side, where the naphtha ex-

and along the Hunters Point bank
of the creek. The flames spread
with great rapidity through Charles

300 feet by 400 feet ON the north
corner bounded by the river and
the creek. From the ward the fire
spread to the vessels, and nothwith-

Democrats went into the adjoining
bar-room. They returned in a short
time, and DIR. McGee, one of the
Democratic inspectors, said:
Buckley and JEFF. Simmons are
running ike -; this thing must
be changed.
Then he knocked the candle ovcr,
cxtineuishing 1t. Al the same mo-
ment the ballot-box was removed
amid much noise and confusion.
Soon after the box was returned to
the table, striking the hand Of Oliver
n it was brought back. \ light was
then procured. and Oliver discovered
that the ballot-box had received a
considerable accession to Its contents
and that the floor from the place
where the ballot-box had heen to the
door of the west room was Uttered
with tickets which were not there
when the light was extinguished.
When Oliver discovered this state OF
things. he arose and said
Gentlemen, this Is an unfair deal
and | will not stand it.
DR.. McGee said we are in the
majority, and will rule. We have
let YOU have it your way all day,

Gentlemen, Oliver responded,
Il won't stand it. You will have to
give me credit for being honest.
Don't You make any insinuation-
that YOU are the only honest man in

then began to curse him, and DIR.
McCiee advanced toward Oliver in 4
threatening manner. The negro then
fed from the room.

/ friends outside. Oliver concluded Ia

claration of the other inspectors that

the count. About a half an hour af-
ter sundown a Deputy Sheriff with
Ia posse of about twenty-five citizens
and twcnty-three militiamcn, armed
with muskets, appearedin the yicin,

there had been no trouble at The
polls between Democrats and Re
publicans or between colored mel
and white men; nor had any
threats of trouble been made in hi,

the conversation took another turn.
The bull-dozers Withdrew for ten

again protested. and found some by
ISLANDERS who took his part, advising
the bull-dozcrs to let him alone.
The bull-dozcrs again withdrew. and
soon atterward Randall went to the
depot and bought his ticket. While
in the depot, the bull-dozers again
surrounded him, saying that if he
ever came TO the place again they
would tix him. They demanded
the note of warming, and Randall
gave it up to avoid trouble. Mr..
Randall SAYS: Every man, EXCEPT

Thomas Lovelock, the pioneerof Love-
lock Station, Nevada, was describing
some of the natural curiosities OF his
section while in town last Saturday
evening. He says that fifteen miles
north of his place there is petrihed
tree 600 feet in length and two feet
thick. Its roots and most of its branches
are still perfect. The tree is lying on
the surface of the ground, and is petri-
fed through and through from bark to
core. Clarence King was taken to see
the tree by Mr.. Lovelock. The geolo-
gist pronounced it one of the greatest
natural curiosities he had ever seen. Mr..
Lovelock says he recently stumbled
upon a petrifed rattlesnake in the vi.
cinity Of his ranch. The serpent's head
was gone, but his body and rattles were
whole. The rattles give out metallic
sound, when shaken, like the ringing oi
bell. The body Of the snake is as hard
as a rock.
