sEyERAL MEN INJURED
at n Disastrous Fire I'm Albany, n. Y ,
Yesterday Morning.

ALBANY, n. Y, March Sat 2 O'Clock
this morning the Waterman at the Dunlap
Elevator discovered fresh FIRE in the six,
story. By the time it was e1tinguished the
flames bad broken out iercely on the fourth
floor, and several men we're caught on the
sixth floor. Gary Benson, Waterman, and
Louis J. Miller, clerk OF The Fire Dtplrt.
ment, rushed down stairs through the a .mes
and were badly burned. Firemen Samuel
Atkins, John Myers and James Gilligan
were literally forced to come down the iron
hosting oh air outside of the building, DIS
tanc. of 100 feet. About forty feet from the
ground the chair was covered with ice and
the men slid 10 the ground with great
velocity, and were more or less severely ill.,
jured. strong north wind was blowing
and the whole Fire Department was called
out. The fire spread rapidly through the
mill and elevator, enveloping the whole
structure. About o'clock the upper walls
Bridge Darts provision store, adjoining
on Broadway, burying several persons under
the ruins. Firemen VIM. Carlin and
Michael Sheehan and Michael McEwen,
employees OF Bridge & Dart, were
killed; James Cameron, book-keeper of the
same firm, injured internally, probably
fatally; james Kelly had both legs crushed,
and Fireman Goldth W ate ad his back in.
lpred. The entire mill and elevator were
destroyed The prnpar.y belonged to the
estate of Robt.s Dunlap. The loss on the
buildings is $4,000; insured for $32, 800.
The mill and elevator was occupied by
Frank Chamberlain. The loss is about
100000; insured for S51 900. About
LOT, 900 bushels of grain was in the elevator
The loss of parties who had grain stored is
about $40, 900; insurance not ascertained.

The Situation nj Helena.

Special to the Appeal
HELENA, March 3-The struggle with the
besieging waters has fairly begun in this
vicinity. The slow, steady rise of the past
week has shown a smart increase in the past
twenty -four hours, four inches being regis
tered. The gauge exhibited foriy-four feet
FIVE inches at l o'clock pm. today, thus
bringing the stage of water 10 within thirty
one inches of the maximum of last year.
Mr.. J. B. Miles was seen by your CORE
spondent this afternoon and asked for some
points on the all-absorbIpg topic. He thinks
there will be more rapid rise in the next
few days; that the river will come 10 a stand
the last OF next week, and that il is possible
the highest mark of last year may not he
reached here. The examination of the
levee from where it leaves the
hill-, one mile above town, to
Long Lake, four miles south, reveals the
fact that il is substantial, and may be relied
upon. Between the Apperson place, nine
miles south OF this place, 10 Oldtown, there
are several newly repaired breaks that are
regarded as doubtful, but ss there is large
force at work on the weak points it is
thought they will be made secure. No APP
psshension Of overflow in this city, as our
levees are perfectly good. The Midland
railroad trains stop st Duncan Station,
several miles this side of Clarendon, the
track being submerged. There is no inter-
ruption of traffic over the Iron Mountain,
and trains are running on time. Coahoma
county, Miss., opposite Helena, is one vast
sea of water, and crops will necessarily be
greatly retarded in that section. No serious
losses OF stock are reported, as measures for
their security were taken in time. Should
the present dry. balmy weather continue un-
til the maximum has been reached ard
passed, and no heavy east Winds prevail, it
is safe 10 predict nothing worse for this ina.
mediate section than an uncomfortable scare.

a PRAYER FOR HORSES,
And Conapari4oa OF Men with the
Brute Creation, by Henry ward
Reecher.

NEW YORK., March lat The annual
commencement of the American Veterinary
College at Chickeriug Hall, proceedings
were opened by the Rev. G. E. Strawbridge,
who prayed IS follows: "Grant that the
sbomination Of the check rein may speedily
be abolished, that the fragment OF fashions
ole embroidery may be changed TO generous
blanket, and that the wind may be truly
tempered to the clipped steed"
After degrees had been conferred, Henry
Ward Beecher spoke. La the course of his
address he SAY The rank OF s-profsssfoh
depends upon the Importance of the material
acted upon, but more upon those who treat
the msterisl. Humsn life may be of more
importance than the life of an animal.
Nevertheless the skill of the veterinary sur
geon may equal the skill of the surgeon who
deals with human being. The student of
the human body and the student of the oiy
OF the horse must Use the same practice.
The structure Is the same aud the functions
are the same 10 both cases. The study of
the lower animal kingdom throughout all
the scientific world ranks as high as that of
the study of the human body, and some Of
the greatest men in science, such as Darwin,
Lubbock, Huxley, etc, have earned their
fame by the study of the lower animals.
The sneer at the veterinary surgeon, there
lore, winch ls sometimes uttered, IS Very
much out OF place. Gentlemen will stand
upon level with their fellows in accordance
with their skilI and learning, for it is
not the subject but the man that determines
rank. [Applause.] Man is at the head of
creation, but some other animals come very
near to him. Little ss we like to recognize
our relations, We are likely to be obliged to
do so before long. Science teaches us that
We SLEPT together in the loins of strong ami
mails OF ages ago. Now that the different
species have developed and grown up we are
often Inclined TO think that mistake has
been made. Laughter 1t has been mourn-
fully asked when discussing the Darwinian
theory, But where is the tail OF man? If
We do not find it, it is not because we look in
the wrong place. Laughter. The dog is
the most disinterested lover in the world. He
knows more by instinot than many men
through reason and Common sense, yet
grieve to say in all Scripture there ia no
prs'e of dogs. [Lsughter.l Ii they perish,
alas! what becomes OF their owners?
daughter. A majority of mankind live
nearly as the animals man only degrades
himself. There are no drunkards and glut-
tons except among men. Animals keep well
within the laws of health. Man violates
them by Wholesale. There is much TO draw
US toward the inferior animal with sym
pathy."

The San and the Upper Atmosphere.
To the Editors of the ADpeaI.

see 1t stated in your journal that why
the sunbeams do not warm the cold air above the
esrth Is problem that mas never been solved. 1t
is problem too simple to require anything more
tnhn little reflection to solyeit. Suppose man
suspended above the earth's atmOs phere The
sun would shine upon the side of the body turned
toward him, but should Its rays be hot enough 10
blister where they touch, he part in the shade
would be deadly cold, because there would be
nothing to reflect heaI upon that part When the
suns rays strike the earth their heat partly
hectedi partly absorbed by every object they fall
upon. The reflected rays reach as from all sides
not from one Only; the heat absorbed by houses is
radisted and thus the heat is accumulated, every
substance receiving and giving out its share. The
atmosphere also conserves heat SO that it does not
pass from the earth by instantaneous radiation
when the sun sets. A man above the atmosphere
would receive only the heat that fell upon him,
there being nothing about him to reflect or con-
serve ii. The air above is where there is no re-
hected heat. II it is asked why the air does Lot
receive sensible heat on one side each mOlecuie
as human body would receive heat above the
earth where shone upon, those interested must be
referred TO heat as mode of motion and its effect
upon molecules, matter too abstract for news
