so many basehts on the one hand and errors

errors. For the visitors Joe Quest, an old favor

THE FIRE LAST NIGHT.
Destruction of Pearson s. Dickson's Butter
Dish Factory-Loss, $4,000.

The butter dish factory on East Michigan
street, near Pogue's run, burned about midnight.
The alarm was turned in from box No. 9, and the
building was in a blaze at the time. The depart
ment was placed at considerable disadvantage
in getting to work, as the water mains were not
within reach and the water had to be pumped
from Pogue's run and cietern over quarter OF
mile distant. The building was beyond saving
before they could do anything. and it was COM
pletely destroyed. The fire was of incendiary
origin and was started in the drying depart
meut. Last Wednesday night an attempt was
made TO burn the establishment by setting fire to
some highly lntiammable timber, saturated with
oil, In the office, but it discovered by the
night watchman and extinguished before doing
any great damage. The factory is owned by Jonn
r. Pearson, the Dickson brothers, of the Grand
Opera-house, and by Mrs Dickson The
loss Is estimated at about S15 1000, which is par
TALLY covered by insurance. New machinery
was being placed in position this week, and the
onpacity of the factory being enlarged.
Inc machinery is damaged Beyond further use.
Inc factory employed about twenty girls aud as
many men and boys. The outgoing passenger
train over the Wabash road was delayed over an
honr on account of the hose, which lay across
the track on Michigan street.

a Lost Opportunity.
from the New York Times !

Until yesterday it was supposed that
young Mr.. Moses, who married, with the
help OF drunken minister, the Bowcry fat
girl, was an acute and enterprising business
man. The fat girl earned salary Of $50 a
week, which was, of course, collected by
her husband, and he was thus able to live
If not exactly on the fat of the land-literal-
ly on the fat of his wife.
The uniiniely death Of the large and prof
liable Mrs. Moses was an unfortunate event
for her husband, but had he been as able a
business man as he was generally supposed
to be, he could still have made her source
OF profit. AS it is, he has sold her body to a
doctor for the petty sum of S25. This act
entirely puts an end to all hope of further
profit on the part of the bercaved Mr.. Moses.
1t is complete sacrifice of his capital, and it
proves him TO be a short sighted and in
capable man of business. What was there
to prevent him from embalming his
wife and exhibiting her for years to come d?
lie could himself have acted US manager
and lecturer, first collecting the money at the
door Of his museum" and then lecturing
upon the anatomical pecuiarities of his
deceased wife. In this way he could have
easily made from $25 to $50 week even
in the dullest season. Now that he has
thrown away this splendid opportunity, the
only thing for him to do Is to put himself on
exhibition as the only man now living who
sold his wifcs dead body for $25. In some
communities he might possibly be found to
draw.
Certainly. In Massachusetts, for instance,
with Ben, Butler asmanager, the Moses show
would form very taking piece, following
the tanned-pauper-skin exhibition

In general order, rclinquishing his COM
mand of the Division of the Missouri, in or
der to assume his new position, as general in
chief of the United States army, Gen. Shcr.
dan says;
In parting with the officers AMI soldiers
whom have had the honor to command for
the past fourteen years, desire TO express
my thanks for tho confidence and support
given by them to my administration of this
division. When tassumed command Of 1t,
hostile Indians covered the country west Of
the Missouri river from the boundary line on
our possessions on the north to the Ccncho
river in Texas. But few settlements existed
and the construction of railroads across the
country had only just begun Since then the
Indians have teen so lar subdued that in
territory formerly occupied by them alone,
cities and towns and cattle interests have
grown up, and railroads have been built. In
these great changes the troops Of the division
have been active and importr ut agents. Dur
these many years it has been my especial
qualification that | have had no disagree
meats with my subordinatcs, and that from
the department commander to the private
soldier, faithful service has been rendered to
tho Government.
With the assurance that shall always re-
member the hardships suffered, battles
fought, results achieved, aud the gallant
comrades who have lost their lives in savage
warfare, ! resign a command that has been
to me pleasure as well as duty.

Sheridan to 1t. The rank of General was
created for General Grant. 1t has been
worthily hcld'by him sud by General Shcr-
man, as the successive generals in-chief
of the army. But one other general in the
army Of the Union approached these two
chicllains, in military genius and cminencc.
lie has now succeeded them in the command
of the army, and VIC should be glad to sec
him succeed them in the special rank of gen.
cral aud then 10 have the rank lapse for at
least one generation. General Grants opin-
ion that General Sheridan was lone of the
very abest living generals" and equal to
the highest commands has often been quot
ed. That Is the estimate OF General Sheri-
dan which prevails among the soldiers OF
Vermont. Since Cedar Creek, Sheridan has
had no rival in their highest admiration and
affection and our citizens generally share
in large degree this feeling of those who
fought Under him. All, we are confident,
would be glad to have him honored by the
title which would place him in form us in
fact, by the side of the other two great lead
ers of our armies. And, when the proper
time comes, We trust it may fall to the lot Of
a representative of Vermont to propose such
recognition of his services in Congress.

his left arm broken and temple cut. He will
die William Burke laborer was badly
cut. Edward Kinsela, a bricklayer, was cut
about the head and back. Patrick Carey OF
Madison was badly crushed.
The cause of the terrible accident is some
what uncertain, but the most plausible theory
is that the heavy iron pillars supporting the
roof of the second story balcony sank into
the plank on which they rested, thus pulling
the sound wall outward, which in turn caused
the roof of the entire wing TO cave in. These
columns were made OF large pieces OF boiler
iron rolled into circular form, and set stove
pipe fashion, the jointings not being bolted
together.
