IT is well known physical fact that
events Of certain GLASS occur in
grOuns We notice this 10 sll the Of.
fairs Of life. Some years a great many
noted people die. In long bot sum
mers we hear OF fights, ebulitions Of
temper, and various acts OF violence,
10 cold or damp weather, when people
are gloomy aud morose, we read Of
suicides and lunacy. There are sea
sons of plaques Of peculiar kinds OF
sickness, Of 6res, Of steamboat and
railroad accidents, and other casual
ties. Yesterday, for instance, was q
day Of fires The Clay Block burned
at Marlboro, Mass. Loss $4,000
Williamstown, Martin county, N. c.,
business portion Of the town burned
and also the steamer Commerce Of the
Baltimore, Roanoke aud Norfolk hne,
aud 200 bales Of cotton, besides cotton
10 stores and on the wharves. The
post Office and telegraph office we're
also destroyed. There was a fire at
BRUSSELS which destroyed documents
Of great value aud interest connected
with the foundation Of Belgian indie
pendencs, including the original con-
situtional charter. The less is esti-
mated at l2,OOO,OOO francs, or $780,
OOO A number of fires have occurred
10 this vicinity Trenton, at Som
erville, and at several other places
in the last few days,
One Of these gave the local chronicler
an opportunity to say, in his descrip-
ton: by this time the whole heavens
were aglow with the bnlliancy Of
myrisds Of blazing cinders, that shot
high in the air, and falling in lurid
hail upon al houses north Of the FIRE.
Another FIRE occurred on a railroad
yesterday. A sleeping car burned on
the express train between New York
and chicago. Two persons we're in
jured, but no lives we're lost; nor we're
any reported lost, as far as we have
learned fiom the reports, in any part
Of this country or the lworld.
There was a FIRE at Cedar
Rapids yesterday involving a
loss Of 100000. AID a FIRE at
Richmond, Ohio, loss $1,000. A
barn was burned yesterday at Erie,
Pennsylvania, add with grain and
three valuable horses. Loss $4,000.
No insurance. This is a considerable
FIRE record for one day. Shakespeare
said misiortunes never come sirgly,
but By battalions, almost every indi.
Vdusl has realized this in bis own
experience, and It might apply to
communities aud nations as well as to
single persons and families.

WAsHISGroS, December 6, 1888
The excitement over the election OIL
officers OF the House Of Representa-
tives having subsidized, the great ex
citing topic nov is the appointment o.
the various committees. Mr.Uarlisle'
announcement that he would be gov
erned in his appointments not BY the
position which members took in the
election of Speaker, but BY
the fitness Of men for places,
has produced good effect.
1t probable that Mr.. Randall will
be chairman Of the Appropriation
Committee, and Mr.. Cox chairman OF
the Ways and Means. Beyond this
not much can be coRjsetured with
any degree OF certainty. polouel
Young will 20 doubt be accorded a
place satisfactory to himself and his
constituents Speaking Of Colonel
Young, reminds me that one Of the
boldest plagiarisms of the ace
hes Just been made public,
Judge Kiddtr, OF Brookings, Oak,
died recently, and the members OF the
lar held a meeting and appointed Mr.
George II. Diamond TO deliver an ad
dress on the occasion. Mr.. Diamonds
address was regarded as one OF the
mos, touching and splendid eulogies
that had ever been delivered in the
country, and he was the recipient Of
general congratulations The editor
Of the Brookings County Press, in q
ieK days found speech delivered by
Hon. Casey Young, of TennC ssee, on
the death Of Andrew johnson,
which on comparison he found to
he, word for word. the speech of Mr..
Diamond. The Press publishes the
speeches in parallel columns,and takes
Mr.. Diamond vtry severely to task.
The pressure for places under the
newly elected officers Of the House is
very great, and the persisteney Of the
applicants is so great that the officers
are compelled to keep closed doors.

3 New YoRK, December g. The
statement Wes made BY the World, on
Sunday. that Samuel j. Tilden had
provided IN bis will for leaving his
large double house on the south side
of Grammercy Park-which has cost,
with the ground, about 500, 000--and
his collection of books. ehgravings,
etc as free gift to the public, the
control Of the bequest to be 10 the
hands OF John Bigel0w. Henry Wat
terson and Mapton Marble. For q
considerable time wOrkuen have been
busy, under the direction Of Calvert
Vaux, the architect, reconstructing
Mr.. Tilden's old house and the one
adjoining. purchased BY him several
years ago, aud the double building is
nbw ready for occupancy. lr
Several intimate friends of Mr
Tildsn, when asked about the alleged
bequeSt by a TIibunersporteE yester-
day, said that they had heard nOthinr
whatever OF theffee public library and
art gallery. The large city mansion is

that engrossed much Of his attention
Finally he turned again to his old

What MI. Tilden proposes to do
With bis large estate i do not believe
any one knows, said one of bis most
intimate friends yesterday. Ger
tainly he is one Of the last men to
make such an announcement as that
given in the World, when single
eOdocil to his will, or Ere burning
il an open CRATE, would end the
scheme, if he saw cit to change his
mind at any tine.
The further announcement, that

among the West India Islands, is also
declared to beuntrue.

WHEELING, VIVA, December e.
The interiOr counties OF West Vir,
gini, have long been considered BY
land swindlers as their legitimate
field of operations. Many companies
have been formed for Systematic deal
ing in these lands, and one OF these
has Just been uDearthed, the swim
ding operations Of which have been
very extensive. A few weeks ago
Mr.. John g. Hutchinson, an attorney
of this cit,, received for colleotio6
from S. 2. Shallop, a farmer Of Mont.
gOmery county. Pa, a note for $500,
made by one NJ B. Francis, OF Web
ster county, Of this State, to JIG
Carpenter, Trustee for the Real Es-
tate Loan and Trust Company, Of
Washington, D. e., said note purport>
ing to be secured by a mort
gage O1 unincumbered real estate in
Webster county. On the back Of the
note was a certificate, signed by j. O.
Wilson. vice. President Of the Real
Estate Loan and Trust Company. and
q. B Balloch, Secretary, certifying
that the title to the property had been
examined and iound A No. !. A
slight investigation disclosed to attor-
ney Hutchinson the fact that all was
not right, and a thorough examination
into the matter revealed the follows
ing:
Francis, the maker Of the note, and
yaIyenter, the trustee, stand in with
Wilson and Balloch. Francis sold TO
The company q small piece OF ground
in Webster county, the title to which
he had forfeited through failure to pay
the taxes, and this sale the enterpris-
ing quartette made the basis Of 300
notes Of $500 each, and 80 notes Of
800 each, representing about fifty
thousand aTces Of land, all Of which.
it is believed, they have worked of on
conhdiDg public. The scheme was
immensely popular, and but for is
accidental discovery, might hsve
been carried on indefinitely. Balloch,
who is supposed to be az the head Of
the gang, is a Washington City claim

tation.
