A terrible fire broke out in

work of an insendiary. High wind
prevailed at the time, and all efforts
to stop the flames were unavailing.
The Western Union offices, both in
the station of New Brunswick and
the Canada railroad and the regular
Office are destroyed, and it is i'm
possible to get full particulars. AT

the general Office said: The

gone and part of the lower. The
flames are ali around me. It is get
ting too hot to stay any longer. DR..
Smiths residence is gone free.
The Baptist Church has been burned
and the registery Office is in flames,
and efforts are being made to save
the new hotel, but it is now in grea!
danger. If the hotel goes it will be

CONFEDERATE FUNDS.
What BlantOn Duncan Knows ON This
Interesting Subject.


San Antonio, Tex, Special to St Souls Re-
publican
In an interview with Col Blanton
Duncan on the Confederate bond
question, he says: When Lee sur
rendered there was large amount Of
money in Europe in the hands of dis
bursting agents, such as Captain Bull
lock for the Navy Department, and
Others for the Comnissary, Quarter
master, Ordinance, State Depart
ments, etc. This money was the
product Of cotton bought in
the South and the sale of
bonds. The money was placed
in English hands, who agreed to hold
it for certain period, and to be
disposed of for the best interest of
the Confederacy. How much there
was Colonel Duncan was not in
formed. At that time he was in
England and given a general outline
plan, and told that that warm Con-
federate sympathizer, Sir Henry
Houghton, was elected to head the
, trustees. In their hands the United
States could not possibly reach the
fund, but might do so if in the pos
session OF a disbursing agent. From
the source Of information Colonel
Duncan has no doubt that
the transaction was effected as
stated, and that some bank
iAg- g-house was disposed to loan out
tho funds accumulated by interest
JEFF. Davis is now in England. 1t
may be that upon his suggestion the
trustees intend to divide the remain
ing assets of the Confederacy among
creditors, SO that even though de-
feated in the contest it's financial OBJ,
legations will be paid by the consent
of all holders to the fullest extent
possible under the circumstances.
As to the issues OF all kinds of bonds,
about SS00,00O,000 was the total,
and Of these it is scarcely probable
that one third are in existence.

a WASHINGTON special to the Gin
cinnati Commercial says:
One of the most curious specula-
tons in which some OF the Demo
Gratis indulge may be outlined as
follows: Malone is now the central
figure in Southern politics, the recog-
nized leader in the revolt against
Democracy. He is in high favor
with the Administration and the Re
publican party Of the North. Ii the
antl-bourbons have majority in the
legislature just elected, why may
noG President Arthur offer seat IN
the Cabinet to Malone as repre-
sentative Southern supporter Of
the Administration, and what is tc
hiuder Malone from being the Re
publican candidate for Vice-Pres-
1dent in 1884. The transfer of
Malone from the Senate to the Cab
met would not change the political
complexion of the former body, be
Gauss ne would be succeeded by a
man who would loyalty support the
Administration. As a member of the
Administration, Malone would be
able to exert in number of the
other Southern States the same in
huences which he has used to de-
moralize and defeat the Democratic
party in Virginia. The gentlemen
who indulge in these and similar
speculations, frankly admit that
there are, in several Southern States,
thousands of men nominally Dem
ocrats who are only kept in the
party traces because they lack fear
less aggressive leadership.
