DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Eagle Docks Totally Des-
troycd-LOSs Half a Million.

New YORK, November Ga fire in
Hoboken this afternoon, totally des-
troyed the Eagle docks, owned by the
Hoooken Dock Company, OF Hamburg,
AMI leased by the Wilson and
Eagle Steamship Companies, and two
it'll cargoes OF merchandise one, Just
uuloaded IRON the Wilson line steam
er, Rialto, plying between HoOoken and
Hull, England, and the other in
readiness for the National lire
steamer TO sail in few days for London
and Liverpool. Most OF the merChan.
Iii 2, including large quantity OF cot
ton and steel rails, WAS owned by New
York merchants. The dock was fully
insured aud WAS constructed eight years
ayO at cost OF $250,CG0, and was 10
feet long and - feet wide. Several
blrges and lighters, in close proximity
10 the fire, were also destroyed. The
steamship R"aito, but for the arrival OF
tug, would have been destroyed. Her
rigging caught ire in several places and
portions oi her deck was injured.
She was hauled into the stream and
Captain Harvey worked 50 earnestly
to save his snip, tnat when her safety
was assured, he fell prone to the deck.
The city physiciaO was summoned and
the captain recovered.
The excursion steamer, Plymouth
Rock. in winter quarters, was in immi-
uent darger, and sic WAS actually
on fire at times in sew
| eral places, but Was towed ont
and escaped with trtiing injury. OF
| the barges destroyed two were laden
| with nay and besnged TO Nivestu < Co.
One origin OF the fire is given as fol-
| lows: The Waterman had applied a
| lighting Contrivauc-small TIN Kerosene
lamp attached To Il pole-to gaze on the
dock and almost instantly tue cotton
and quantity OF loose Oakum sir wed
around were abl2Zh.
The disastrous consequences are ac-
counted for in this way The Hoboken
ire department and city author
tiles have bcen for some time at
logger heads, the latter, according to the
tircmen, refusing to furnirh proper sup
plies TO the department. Further
more, recently the authorities des-
/ igaatrd the engine houses as places of
registration ior voters, an act in which
the drImeu loudly protested against.
The result is, when the alarm
was sounded the tire apparatus
was found with tongues turned
to the wall, aud only one of the seven
engines comprising the department re-
. spOnded. The chief refused to order
the men out uatil he received
Il certain guarantee, and when

9Behold the Lamb of God which

"Behold the Lamb Of God which
taketh away the sins of the world. =
St. John, LIST chapter 29th verse.
The above is the text from which
Rev. Mr.. Braislin preached his fare
well sermon as pastor of the Mount
Holly Baptist Church on Sunday
evening, to an uncomfortably crowded
congregation. Many were the ex-
pressions of regret visible on the
countenances of those who had lis
tened to him preach during his pas
toratc. The congregation have adopt
ed the following preamble and resolu-
lions.
WHEREAS, Our Pastor, Brother Edward
Braislin, after more than seven years
Of faithful and successful service
has resigned his passionate 10 enter upon
another and larger field of labor and
WHEREAS, We would place on record an
expression of the high estimation in
which we hold our Brother and the
deep regret we feel at his departure,
therefore
Resolved, That while we deplore the
dissolution of the pastoral relation that
has existed so long and so happily. we
thankfully acknowledge the hand of God
in sending Brother Braislin to us at time
when there was SO much needed a wise
head and loving Eeart. Coming among
us as stranger he soon won the hearts OF
his people and gained the full confidence
OF the entire community. By the har-
mony of his teaching and living he has
everywhere commended the truth. His
ministry has been without reproach, all
honoring the Master, and helpful to the
Church. Under his preaching and faith
iul labors the Church has made substan-
tial progress. 1t has been helped to a
higher plane and broader outlook in
Christian activities and to quickened
intellectual, moral and spiritual life. His
removal will leave great vacancy in
this community. As he goes from US he
carries with him our affection, and we will
follow him with our best wishes for his
own personal welfare and the prayful hope
that in his new field Of labor called by
the Lord, he may be crowned with abund-
ant success.

George Highly, whose familiar face
will be remembered as bartender of
Atkinson's hotel for several years
past died few days since of heart
disease. Highly formerly kept the
hotel in which he was employed at
the time Of his death, and sold it to
the late Elmer Kelly for $4,000.
He was also at one time joint owner
of the present coffee house property
opposite Atkinson's.
During the heavy blow on Monday
q citizen had narrow escape from a
serious wound. A heavy branch Of
maple tree, but found much decayed,
fell as he was passing. Every season
our street trees should be carefully
examined. A similar case occurred
last spring.

THE RAINFALL

HE RAINFALL
The heavy rainfall of the present
week has had much-desired effect
throughout the surrounding counties,
and the springs and creeks that had
almost entirely dried up during the
long continued drought have been re-
vived. The rain came too late, how
ever, to save the crops, and conse-
quently to have any effect upon the
prices of vegetables The potato and
turnip crops were curtailed from the
effects of the drought, as well as many
other articles Of table produce, and
although the recent rain will have
good effect in many other ways, it
cannot make up for the scarcity of
provisions, now that the season is
over. Farmers say that there is little
to be hoped fov 10 the prospect of a
fall in prices, but while housekeepers
may set their minds to dear market
ing for the coming winter, they will
at least have the comforting assurance
that there is no probability of fur
Their increase. although the rain did
not come early enough to save the
crops, the farmers are thankful that
it was here in bare time to save win
ter wheat and rye, which have been
planted for weeks, and would have
suffered severely had it not been for
the long looked for November show
ers. Fall pastures will also be i'm
proved by the change Of weather.
