LATEST TELEHRAMS.
Adiutant Gen. Drums Report.

Washington .-Adjutant General
Drum has submitted his annual re-
port. He states that the state militia
have steadily improved in discipline,
soldierly bearing and knowledge.
He recommends the retirement on
full pay of men who have faithfully
served thirty>ive years, and an
amendment to the statute author
izing the President to drop from the
army for desertion any officer absent
from duty three months without
leave, 80 as to include officers on the
retired list within the meaning of
the law. The last recommendation
has a hearing on the Nickerson case.
In order to reduce the number OF
dese rtions, it is proposed that the
term of service be fixed at three
years instead of five. It is sug-
gested that increased pay for re>
enlisting be made to depend upon
immediate re-enlistmenti in the same
regiment, and that the man re-
enIisting be granted a furlOugh of
one, two or three months, according
to the number Of terms he had al
ready served. A bi-nonthly settle
ment of clothing accounts is recon-
mended, and the statement made in
this connection that the government
lost $4,000 last year in clothing was
Overdrawn by deserters. The mill
tary prison at Ft. Leavenworth is
mentioned as a successful institn-
ton under excellent management,
and its governor is recommended
for promotion with increased pay.
Notwithstanding the great efforts
to fill the army to its authorized
strength, it still lacks 2,149 men of
the full quota.

Terrible Results of the Fire,

Savannah, Ca, 1. - The losses
from Wednesdays fire are estimated
to exceed S1,OOO,000. The insurance
will probably not cover more than
one--third the loss. The charred re-
mains Of five bodies, in addition to
three recovered last night and re-
moved from the debris Of the
burned warehouse to-day, were
found lying together under avail and
only few feet distant from a gate>
way. The body of a colored woman
was also found among the ruins on
Sachem street. adjacent to the ware
house. Seven bodies were negroes.
The remains of a white man were re-
cogniZed as James Cash, connected
with a large drayage firm. The
bodies were burned almost beyond
re .ognition, and It'll was principally
by articles found upon them that
they were identified. The sight was
sickening as the burned and unre-
cegnizable r'mains removed from
the debris were placed in boxes
and removed to the morgue to
await the action of the coroner and
burial by their friends. 1t is be-
lieved other bodies are still buried
among the fallen walls, and fremen
are still searching. The burned dis
trict was visited by thousands to-
day. The sufferers made homeless
and destitute by the fire are being
ca ed for by the city. A relief fund
amounting to $4,000 is already
raised. The Secretary ofWar has
thrown open the United States bar
racks for their use. The ruins are
still smouIdering, but there is nc
danger of fresh outbreak.

A ~F0rtY.Four.TOn Statue

Probably the most colossal statue
yet ordered for the States has just
been finished in the plaster form by an
American sculptor at Florence, Mr..
Larkin G. Mead. There are but two
in America that can ever be compared
with it, Greenough's Washington"
and his group Of Civilization"
which adorn the capitol in Washing
ton. Some idea of it may be obtained
by a short description. The subject is
che mississippi River" a large re-
cumbent statue. not unlike the treat
ment to the "Nile" group in Rome.
The figure is represented leaning
against a cluster of rocks whence
springs the source of the father OF
waters, while as a support to the other
arm is a broken paddlewheel caught
in a snag, a not uncommon sight on
that mighty river. At the base are
represented in bas-relief the various
OBJ ects characteristic Of the stream
during its long course, stern-Wheeler
and side-wheeler, sugar-cane and
crocodile and it's mineral wealth in the
representation of a lead mine, while
negroes are seen loading and unloading
bales of cotton aud tobacco and the
sugar cane /; crystals, too, are not for
gotten, while the giant right foot
rests on a ledge Of limestone, and in
the right hand stalks Of that great prod
uct Of the Mississippi valley, Indian
corn, are held, one mature, the other
in the shock. A wreath composed OF
tobacco and cotton crowns the head of
the colossus, while a fishing net is
carelessly thrown across the base. The
plinth or pedestal is twelve feet in
length and the weight of the marble
no less than forty-four tons. This is
to be presented to the city Of New
York by Mr.. Elliott T. Shepard, a New
York lawyer, a s~on-in-laW of w. FL.

A Trick OF New York Thieves.

A succession of wild shrieks, sug-
costing a person in mortal pain or ter
ror, fell upon the ear of a New York
World reporter the other evening as
he was passing along Worth street to-
ward Chatham square. On the side
walk, not far away, was a young man,
apparently in a fit, and a crowd was
gathering about him. Several rough
looking lads who had emerged from
the neighboring slums pressed through
the throng to MAKE their way to its
center.
As the reporter, hnsuspectingly, was
about to join it with other people who
were passing, he saw a policeman hur-
rying up from Mulberry street with
stealthy tread, and, of course, with a
club in hand. He had almost reached
the spot when there was a sharp, short
whistle and an instant scattering of a
dozen ragged shadows out from the
crowd. The shrieks ceased az suddenly
as they had begun, and slim young
man, whom the reporter recognized
with amazement as the late epileptic,
ran out and up the street as fast as
his legs could carry him. The officer
shook his club after him and shouted,
in tones that visibly increased his
speed:
"Say, Kid I want none Of yer
foolishness here no more dye. under
stand? II 4 catch yer here again, III
break yer jaw
To the reporter he explained that
the "Kidp wasa notable young thief,
whose particular trick was to simulate
a ct in the street, and 50 attract a
crowd, which his. c~onfederates, the
pickpockets, could work" at their
leisure.
The "Kid" is not alone in this BUSH
ness. The trick is commonly played
in crowded thoroughfares, and he
prefers downtown streets during BUSH
ness hours, when the profits from the
haul are the heaviest 1t is one of a
thousand tricks andswindles by which
thieves carry on their trade. Some
are ingenious, some bold. some only
less stupid than those whom they de-
ceiye, according to- the quality of the
thief practicing IT. Some branches OF
thievery, To yield even the most
moderate success require the exercise
Of d talent which, turned to good pur-
pose in any ordinary business pursuit,
might make its owners fortune.

Where a Tragedy Took Place.

81 wouldn't tear that front wall down
o r$2O,OO0 cash, said Thoma5H Green,
Of Philadelphia. "Hundreds of peo-
pie have a ked me- why 1 didn't erect a
nicer front when was overhauling the
building continued Mr.. Green, "but
L much prefer allowing the old brick
front torema n, because of the historic
associations of the building. Here it
is that Benedict Arnold once made his
home. In the early palt of the pres
emit century the building came into the
possession of the ancestors of the well
known Burd and Shipper families,
whose histories are prominently inter-
woven with that of the city itself. One
CT the female members of the Burd
family on dying b%equeathed the prop
erty to a relative, with the Injunction
that the home should eve be con-
verified into stores. To disobey this
command would nocess.t tate demolish-
ing the front, and SO you see why 1t is
L wish to allow the wall to remain, be-
cause by SO doing Iconsider 1 am COM
plying with the dying injunction Of its
former owner.
"Do you know there is a romantic
story connected with the house?" said
Mr.. Green. "About fifty years ago
one of the daughters Of the Burd fam
lily was engaged to be married to a
prominent Southern gentleman. On
the night before the day fixed for
the wedding a large company was
gathered in the parlor of the nan
sion, and the conversation turned upon
ghosts. When the hour for retiring
had arrived, the ladies were pretty we'll
worked up with the stories they had
herd. The betrothed couple fingered
a few moments in the parlor, and when
the lady expressed a fear of meeting
with a ghost her brother sp Ike up and
said :'Look out for the ghost of Bene-
dict Arnold tonight The Southerner,
handing the lady a pistol, sud: place
this under your pillow, and if any
ghost appears don't be afraid to shoot
"The brother, who was a sort Of
reckless fellow, resolved to have some
fun. He contrived to steal away from
his sister, and when everybody was
asleep he dressed himself in the uni
f rm of an officer of the Continental
army. Entering the chamber of his
sister he made a noise which aWoke
her, and when the terrified girl saw
what she believed to be the ghost of
Arnold she set up such a screaming
that she awakened the household. In
a few minutes the room was filled with
the other members of the family. ~
"When the matter was explained by
the erring brother, the future husband
of the sister became SO angry that he
then and there challenged the brother
to fight a duel. In u few hours the
preliminaries were all arranged. A
little piece Of woods in the southwest.
ern part of the city was selected, which
they reached about daylight. Pistols
were produced, and the two plucky
men faced each other at twenty yards
distance. At the first fire both fell,
and when the seconds and physicians
drove up to the mansion in the early
hours Of the morning they tenderly
conveyed two corpses to a resting-place
within it's portals, aud the heartbroken
sister was compelled to mourn the I'M
timely death OF a brother and alover."
