New YORK, April 16.-Billy Madden, the
former confidential friend of John L.
Sullivan, of Boston, and now business
manager of Charles Mitchell, the English
champion, said to-day: Il have observed
in some of the newspapers that Mike Dono-
van claims he is anxious to fight Mitchell,
and proposes mill at 145 pounds for
$1,000 a side. Mitchell is the heavy
weight champion of England, aud did not
come to America to fight such pugilists as

Mitchell to meet any one at present other
than the American champion, Sullivan.

shown what he could do with Cleary. All

Especial Telegram to the GLOBE
New York, April 1S.-The problem how
to get rid of the telegraph and other cleo
trio wire poles that deface our streets, or
IN other words, how to put the wires under
ground, is just now under serious consid-
GRAFTON by the various electric companies.
AT present there are twenty -one companies
IN this city engaged in the business of
transmitting electric currents on wires run
ming IN almost every case above ground.
Under this system the loss by breaking of
wires and decay of poles is so great that it
is estimated that the entire plant has to be
renewed every ten years, at loss of from
oo TO 70 per cent. of the old material. A
committee on underground communica-
ton, composed of representatives of eight
electric light and electrical companies,ha
been IN existence for some time. and il is
now proposed to enlarge this committeeby
inviting the cooperation of the telegraph,
telephone, district messenger, and all other
companies engaged in transmitting cleo
trlclty for any puspose. A meeting of
representatives OF all these companies for
P"1 PUoo VI AoAlning general COM
mittee will be held Friday next. This
meeting will take into consideration the
appointment of a committee on scientific
work, which will have power to invite the
cooperation of eminent scientific men
and inventors in regard to overcoming
the difficulties of induction and retarda-
tlon:Mr. W. G. Behrens, the chief inspector
OF the pension Office at Washington, has
been engaged to come to New York to take
charge of the scientific work of this COM
mittee. Other questions to be considered
are those of mechanical appliances, neces-
sary legislation and business organization,
whether the accomplishment of under
ground communication can be reached
better by the several companies uniting
together or by separate company to be
formed for the purpose.

fifteen or twenty families and leaving but
four buildings standing in block of 42C

stable of L. L. Kennett & Son, on Third
avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets
The stable was soon ablaze and so quickly
did it spread that the horses could only be
cut loose and driven into the street. All
were saved but two. From this point
the fire spread to adjoining frame build

brought into service nearly every house
was In flames. Tne citizens did good
service in removing the stocks from the
stores and household furniture TO the river
bank, but they were all afterwards
destroyed by the fre or damaged by the
water. At one time 1t seemed as though
the business portion of the town vas
doomed, but the wind which was blowing
strongly at the beginning of the ire and
directly up the avenue, changed toward
the river. This gave the fremsn a
chance which they improved and the Con-
tinental hotel, the least exposed house,
was saved. In one hour the fire was under
control and workers from Ensign and the
Chesapeake i Oaio railway. who had been
telephoned, were not able to render any

took place tive miles below Chic0t on Sunday
Oct. I'd OH small plantation known as the
Dryden-Glaze place, owned by Captain Sam
Haas, but Was rented by Maj. 3. C. Harris
The house which was avery nice one was to-
tally destroyed and burned TO the ground. TO-
gether with almosteyerything Maj. Harris and
family possessed. The origin of the fire at this
Writing is unknown, and at the time it occurred
Mr. H. and family being all mt from home, he
is at Il loss to know how it occurred Proba-
bly, the house would have burned down entire
ly without being discovered, but fortunately
Capt. Sam Haas, DR.. Hawkins and Il. T. Mar
shall, Esq, were on their way home from be-
low when Mr.. Marshall discovered the house
was on fire. Immediately gave the alarm, and
with the parties named, proceeded TO the
building ana at the risk of their lives, did ali
in their power to try and save what they could;
but tile fire was so hot, and. although they
worked like Trejans, they only succeeded in
saving a few articles. Columbus Godfry, {;
colored man of this place, also deserves praise
for the brave manner i'll which he acted at the
fire, as your correspondent was informed that
he worked almost in the burning flames; that
when he did come out he fell fainting TO the
gro und from heat and oyer-W0rk, but was soon
prom pity restored by our efficient physician.
Dr.. j. E. Hawkins. The building was valued
at $1,000 and Mr. Harrls's loss was estimated ut
$1,000. Our whole community deeply sympa-
thizc with the Dereayed and unfortunate fam
~, and are doing all they can i'll the way OF
subscriptions of money, etc. for their relief.
No insurance was either on the building or any
of Mr.. Harris effects. We have had no rain for
six weeks, and everything is dry and dusty.
Politics is very quiet, bnt we are all in TO sup
port our gallant old hero, Francis T. Nichols
for Governor, and we only trust that when the
time comes. his name will go before the con-
Yention, and that the State will unanimously
nominate him on thefirst ballot.

THE SITUATION.

Long summer days have gone.
Cool breezes prove % warning
That one must take his thorn"
And work soon in the morning.
Since the darkies now have parted
With the cotton for the cane,
All the fires by us are started
Til they get back again.
The "ranche" must then be swept.
The type from floor picked clean,
With not the least filth left
That by the boss is seen.
"By HooIlies," he's squawier,
When anything goes wrong
Can grow a whole yard taller
And ''sing out" loud and long.
