River Pirates ON the NIis.isslnpl.

ST.. LOUIS, Aug. lS.--jh0 Post-D Dispatch has
private dispatches from Ashport, small town
on the lower Mississippi, near the point where
tho steamer Yicksburg recently sank, that q
party ofrlvor pirates was discovered last night
by the crew of u wreoking steamer who were
ut work on tho Vicksburg, carrying on skin
load of the cargo of the Yicksburg. The crew
of the wrecking boat fred on the thieves, and
one of them ssuppoSsd to have been wounded
and fell overheard and was drowned. Tho
watchman Of either the wrecking boat or the
Vicks burg was found TO have been in collision
with the pirates and was takon before a justice
of the peace and held in 81 900 bonds. Later
a band of masked men appeared and rescued
the watchman, captured the wrecking boat,
placed Mr.. Bedard, who was in charge of the
wrGckmg party under gvard on tho boat aAd
took the rest of the crew to the shore, where
they were placed under guard. Great excite.
ment existed among tho friends oftho thieves,
a considerable crowd of whom had como in
from tho country, and dire vengeance was
threatened 10 the wrecking crew. Az last 40.
counts the sheriff Of tho county had arrived
and it was hoped quiot would soon be restored.
THE mon MASTERS OF THE SITUATION.
Tclegrums received tonight from Captain
Il. w. Bedard of the wrocking boat r. II.
EclSort are to the effect that the excitement
| is still high among the friends of tho thieves
who attempted to plunder tho Yicksburg, and
that the sheriff did not seem able to maintain
peace. Ii. A. BurIis and William Howard,
divers OF the Eokert, aud James Jones, an
other of the crew, were still under guard on
shore and Captain Bedard remained under sur.
| veillauce on the boat,
Tho mob would not allow the wreckeT to bo
moved nor would they permit the wreckiug
OF the Yicksburg to proceed, Captain Dugan,
superintendent Of the Underwriters Wreck
ing company Captain Barnard, secretary OF
the board OF marine underwriters, aud Captain
Seudder president Of tho 81. Louis 6 Vick5.
burg Packet company, owners of the sunken
Viclsburg, tolcgraphed tonight to Governor
Marks OF Tennessee asking for military aud
other aid TO protect their men and property.
Fears wore entertained that tho mob would

| Bunis, who, they assert, shot the m0u who
| fell overheard from their skiff.

Tho Pension and lrrenragos.

To he Editor of The National RspuJiican:
SIN: In tho last issue Of the Free Press a
paper pub lishod in this city, and claiming TO
DO devoted TO tho interests Of the soldier, 1
notice an article explanatory of the bill for
regulating the payment Of pensions ana arrcar.
ages. The author of tho article is either ig-
norani of the records or is Intentionally per-
vertipg tho facts. lie gives the credit for tho
passage OF the bill 20 General A. V, Rice, dem
ocratic chairman of the committee on invalid
pensions during the forty-6Ith congress, third
session. This is all wrong, both in principle
and implication, for the records show that bill
1894, II. of r., introduced by the Hon, Mr.
Cummings of Iowa, a stalwart republican, on
the cd Of April 1875 and put upon its final
passage by the Hon. Mr.. Haskell Of Kansas,
republican, on the 10Th Of June, 1873, receiy-
ing q republican majority Of seven yeas over
tho combined yeas and nays Of the democrats
was tho same bill put upon its passage in tho
senate by Senator Ingalls, on the nth Of jan
uary, 1879, and received there n republican
majority of four yeas over the combined vote
OF the democrats; was approved and became
law January %, 1879.
The bill 3255, II. of H., introduced by Gon-
era A. V. Rice on the 18th Of February 1873,
contained the germs Of its own death, and was
never called up after its Introduction. The
following is the substance of the bill "a bill
to regulate the graSting of pensions and the
payment of arrearages; also to authorize tho
secretary Of the interior to restore TO the rolls
of invalid pensions tho names stricken thero-
from on account Of dlsloyalty'
Mr.. Hale Of Maine Immediately gave notice
that he reserved all objections to the BILL and
that terminated its life. So that If any credit
Is due 10 the Hon. Mr. Rice, II must be for tho
last sentence in his bill, as above quoted.

The HurDfns oT Eurekn.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug 1S.-Owipg to tho de-
struction of the telegraph office and lines news
regarding the conhagration at Eureka, New,
has been delayed, during which time great in.
terest has been manifested in this city to
lea IN details Of tho disaster. This evening
d ispatches came through giving further par.
ticulars and partial list of losses from which
the following is ascertained About 10 o'clock
Monday morning an alarm of fire was sounded
and dense quantity of smoke was seen to
issue from the rear OF Mrs. Poplin's fruit and
vegetable store on Main street just south of
Odd-Fellows' hall. In two minutes several
wooden buildings in the immediate vicinity
were cnvcloped in flames The fire seemed
to make unprecedented headway from tho
very start. The wind was blowing
gale from the southwark, and continued
to blow as 1t can only blow in
these mountain canons until tho flames
had run their course. The fire backed up
against tho wind on tho southwark to Gold
street, crossing Buel, and in turn reaching to
Spring and Paul streets, its course and scope
being almost identical with the great confla-
grafton of April, 1879. Invent little further
south and stopped little short of the old mark
on the north, differing in these particulars
only from the great hro above mentioned.
Possibly 800 houses, many of them business
establishments, were destroyed, also some of
the finest private residences in the town. A
space equal TO fifty acres in tho heart of the
town was swept away. In this area only
halfdozon buildings remain. Tho Leader
Offices Odd-Fellows' hall, theatre, Interna-
tiomal hotel, A. NJ. Hilhouso's elegant resi-
dence and the methodist church were among
the buildings destroyed. Tho Jackson house
was gutted, though 1t is still standing, and
the International is melted almost level with
the ground Tho entire line Of buildings on
the west side of Main street is charred and
many of them badly damaged. The exact
origin of the fire is not known. The first any
one knew tho flames were on the premises
already noted. When the fire had got beyond
control a scene ensued which beggars all at
tempts at description. Hundreds of men,
women and children were fleeing in all direc-
tions for safety, some bearing with them arti-
ccs of personal or household goods, Those on
the lines Of Spring and Paul streets scaled the
rugged mountain 10 tho eastward, while per-
cons further down the fiat sought refuge in
the direction of Mob hill. LII the meantime
drays and wagons were dashing around in
the utmost confusion TO bear valuabes from
tho doomed district. Finally tho sun went
down on the stricken aud exhausted people.
The Sentinel roughly estimates the lossos at
$3.50, 900, covered by about '$l50,000 insurance.
The Sentinel thinks there must be suffering
among the poor families and calls for meet.
ing for to-day to organize relief committee.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S,-Tho preparations for
receiving the Dessoug on the marine railroad

The work Of cutting the ryots and removing
the plates from the side ofthe Des5oug will then

FIRE RECORD.
Two Serious fires in st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1s.-The Yaeger Touring
mill, OIL Twenty.flrst street, between Market
street and Clarke avenue, tho largest and
costliest establishment Of the kind in the city,
having twenty run of burs, took ERE at 10
o'clock last night and Is now q mass Of ruins.
The mill was In operation, and tho fro Is said
TO have originated from overheated ma
ohinery. About an hour lator tho old skating
rink, very large wooden building on Nine
toenth street, extending from Chestnut 10
Pine, took dre and was entirely consumed.
The mill was built about threo years ago, at
cost of 5000 900, since when some $4,000 Of
improvements were added. 1t was insured
for $685. 200 IN from eighty TO ninety COM
panies, mostly eastern and foreign. The rink
was owned by Colonel Charles s. Hunt, and
was used as a riding school and for artillery
drill. The building and contents were Of lit.
tie value.
John Crangle secretary of the milling conf
pany, places his loss OH the mill, machinery
and contents at 100000. There were about
40 900 bushels of wheat in the mill. Twenty
eight box. cars on the tracks in the rear OF the
mill were burned. Some Of them were loaded
with grain William Wonbcrmor, one of tho
millers, was in the upper part of the mill
whom it took fire, and being unable 10 escape
by the stairway loaped from tho fourth-story
window and was fatally hurt.
ST. LOUIS Aug. 1S.--The loss by the burn
ing of the Yaeger mill last night is now Gsti-
mated at over 100000. A largo lot Of new
and valuable machinery was received at the
mill yesterday and had been hoisted to the
third floor, all of which was destroyed. The
mill was running thirty burs instead of
twenty, as stated last night, the tracks in the
rear OF the mill belonging 10 tho Union depot
company instead of the Missouri Pacific, and
tho cars burned there were owned by different
railroad companies. The destruction OF sur
rounding property and individual losses will
make IN aggregate loss by fire and water OF
| fully half a million, the loss on the rink and
contents perhaps 100000. The artillery COM
pany that used it for exercise lost two cannon,
harness, etc. The Line Guard cavalry, which
| also used the building. lost somc forty saddles
