Two Destructive Fires.

WATERBURY, Conn, Feb. 13.-The three
and-a-half story brick building, 16O by 40 feet,
known as the button shop of the Scoville Manu-
featuring Company, was totally destroyed by fire
at three o'clock Sunday morning. The loss on the
building and machinery is estimated at from S175-
coo to 100000 with insurance of s125Q00. This
misfortune throws out of employment over 200
hands, but causes no suspension of business in the
brass mills. While the flames were still raging at
the button shop, second alarm was sounded, and
the large factory of MeiggS & Trott was discovered
to be on fire. the result Of which was the partial
destruction of the factory and loss of about
$4,000, which is fully covered by insurance. At
his juncture a third alarm was received from an
other district, but the fire extinguished with
out loss Great excitement prevailed. The origin
of the fires is unknown.

To-day in The SENATE.

There is likely to be quadfangular
contest in the Senate to-day upon tl.c QUESTION of
consideration. The Post Office Appropriation bill,
with its 81 100000 ocean mail rider, is the unfiu
ished business but ii is 10 be antag0nized by Scna
tor Bayard on The one hand, with the funding
bill; by Senator Williams. with the Mexican War
pension bill, and by Senator Voorhees,, with the
bill to provide for the dissertation of Judiciary
Square by the erection thereon of Government
building for the accommatiOn Of the Library of
Congress. The probability is that the real contest
will be between the Pos-O Office bill and the fund
ing bill.

The River and EEarber Bill.

The Iate OF the liver and harbOr Dill
was the subject of much conversation among
statesmen yesterday, and many interested in the
improvement of their particular localities pro-
vided for by the bill gave signs of painful appre
tensions of its final defeat. The feeling created
by Sam Cox's assault upon the Commerce Com
mittee has widened and deepened to an extent
that alarms the members of that committee and
other bencficiarics under the bill, and they not
now nearly so confident nor half as arrogant es
they woe on the first day of the fight.

ii is almost foresone conclusion that no final action
will be taken i'll either case. The Democrats on
the committee have, it is reported about reached
the conclusion that there should be a reinforce

until after the Inauguration of another administra
ton that the new President may be moved to ap-
point Senator Thurman, OF some other good Dem
