The st. James Journal and Manka-
to FREE PRESS editors are cOnlderably
exercised about the red glow in the sky
at morning and evening. If these
meteoric gentlemen of the quill
would rise up in the morning, about five
o'clock, as we do, they would find
much warmer and finer glow to fright
en- their week knees. They no doubt
think the world is coming to an end,
but the fear is not great enough or
strong enough to force them out of their
beds before 3 o'clock in the morning.
Get up boys and see the morning glow

If Bro. Graham would take the pre-
caution to quietly dispose of the loose
broom sticks, etc, before retiring he
would then be able to enjoy quiet and
refreshing repose until morning. Try

find audible expression.
The Mankato correspondent of the
Pioneer Press states that Prof. l.. l..
Conant has received an appointment in
the schools of Deadwood, DIT. We are
pleased to correct this statement by the
further infoi nation that Prof. Conant
has been elected superintendent OF the
schools of Deadwood City at salary of
81 500 per year. From the reputation
made by Prof. Conant while teacher in
our High School, and the estimation he
is held IN by our citizens, we know that
he will make the schools of Deadwood
rank among the highest in the Territory.
1t is an unfortunate fact that for the past
few years we have been losing some of
our most competent teachers, and just
where the fault lies We are not prepared
to state. 1t might not be amiss for our
board of education to look into the
matter little for while we now have a
very competent corps of teachers it is
quite uncertain Just how long they will
remain. There is not city of our size
in the state that has better educational
accommodations and appliance than
Mankato, but the average Of examina
tons, as we showed in former state
ment from the report of the State Boart
Is not what we have right to expect.

THE FIRE RECORD.


New YORK, Jan. 6.-About 1870 this
morning fire was discovered in the extern
sive crockery and fancy-ware establishment
of Ovington Brothers, Brooklyn, and in an
hour the store and contents were completely
destroyed. The fire originated Just back of
the office, and was occasioned by boy drop
ping lamp as he was about to kindle a fire
in the store. The lamp fell where paper
and straw were scattered about, and in a
moment the flames spread over the floors
and to the Office partition. The ooy was so
| frightened that he failed to give the alarm,
and there was much delay in notifying the
fire department; in fact, the building was
doomed before the arrival of the first en-
glne. The Clinton House, adjoining, caught
fire several times, and is much damaged by
fire and water. The guests of the house fled
to the streets Some of the late risers were
only partially dressed.
Ovington Bros. dealt in finer grades of
crockery, elegant bronzes, clocks, and all de-
scriptions Of fancy ware. The loss is fully
covered by insurance. The stock was greatly
diminished during the holiday trade, and
had not been replenished since to any great
extent, so that the loss will not fall so heav-
! lily upon the firm as under other circum-
! stances.
Ovington Bros. estimate their loss at $780,
900. In their store, beside bric-a-brac, were
a number of oil paintings, which could not
be saved.
The damage to property adjoining Owing
toms buildings, and stocks therein, is $780,
900, insured. The fire commissioners have
resolved to establish lfe-saving corps. Pro-
vision will be made for a training school in the
use of life-saving apparatus, and the distribu-
ton of trained men and light scaing-ladders
and light ropes among the hook and ladder
companies.

Resignation of the spanish Ministry.

MADRID, Jan. IA ministerial crisis, in
consequence of a difference between Cam
acho Minister of Finance, and Abareda,
Minister of Commerce and Agriculture, &C.
Cured at cabinet counsel yesterday, met to
discuss the budget with view of reducing
taxes and at the same time increase the rev.
enue. Camacho proposed the sale of state
forest lands on the mountains, valued at 49,
100000 pesetu, in order to provide funds to
pay during term of eight years the increased
interest on the public debt, commencing
in July. Abareda strongly opposed the pro-
posal, and being unable to agree, both he and
Camacho rendered their designations. To-day
the ministers met again, and after four hours
deliberation, an agreement being impossible,
they resolved to resign in body. In pre-
senting their designations to the King. Sa-
gasta, president of the Council, stated that he
