SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Oct. q.
The most disastrous confederation that
has visited this city for ten wears occurred
at 1888 O'Clock this morning, resulting ia
the destruction of the buildings, machinerg
and most of the stock of the Springfield
Wagon Manufacturing Company, two build
ings on the south belonging to Emory &
SchoIten, formerly used as q brewery, the
Pacific Hotel and a dwelling-house, both
located east of the factory. The fire origi-
mated IN the drying-room of the wagon fac
tory, and when first discovered by James
Thompson, the Waterman, could have been
easily extinguished had q few men with
buckets been present, but the grounds be-
ing filled with frame buildings, sheds and
wagon stock the flames spread with such
rapidity that by the time the alarm had
summoned the fire companies the principal
buildings were all sheets of flames. The
water-wOrks of this city have just been
completed, and hose for the fire company
We're used, but with imperfect success,
owning to the nOn-Grrival of nozZleS. The
use of the hose. however, checked the
spread of the fire both on the east and
west. and the boys worked nobIy. There
was $50, 900 worth of stock at the wagon fac
tory, a considerable portion of which, in
the way of wheels and axles, were carried
out on the street and saved. The loss of
the wagon factory is approximately eSti-
mated at $35, 600. The total assurances
amounted to only about 5000. Spring
field has lost its most valuable manufac-
tory except the Frisco shops, and the loss
throws seventy-ive men out OF employ
ment; but it is understood that the com
pany will rebuild at an early date. H. F.
Fellows is President of the company; F. A.
Wishart, Secretary; w. w. Fellows, Treas
urer, and John Massey, Superintendent.

from herself. Her whereabouts are still
unknown and she makes no statements,
whatever regarding the manner in which
she slipped away. According to her letter
she has neither eloped nor gone on the.
stage, but is making an honest living for
herself.
Yesterday morning Colonel Churchill was
down at his office. as usual, attending to-
business, and about $3.50 the maiI-carrier
entered and handed one of the clerks in the
office batch of letters. He passed them to,
Colonel Churchill. As the latter's eye
rested on one of the missives he started
suddenly, for on the envelope he recognized
the penmanship of his missing child. Quick.

pair of shears he pulled out the letter and
in state of considerable excitement read
it. It was signed by his daughter and she
addressed him as my Father" and the.

lowing card to the various newspaper
offices for publication:

over the country have accorded me every
facility within their power, and in many
cases at great expense, in my search, not
withstanding the injunction imposed by my
daughter to withhold from publication the
contents of this letter. a sense of duty which
1 owe to my many friends impels me to at
least give its purport, which herewith at
