Lincoln as u Dung Lawyer.
L had been sent to Springfield and
intervening towns to make some col

I was told that the party l was to
see at Springfield, was a tough case,
and to put the demand at once in
the hands of some reliable attorney
and if he got the money to pay that
attorney $40. 1 arrived at SPRING

and asked the first man met where
I could find Old Abe. That now
famous little one-story Office was
pointed out and went in. There,
with an open law book on table be
fore him, with his hands clasped
just below one knee, sat man who
turned that genial but rugged face
and looked at me. I then and there
fell in love with him. / was an orig

Abraham Lincoln meyer impressed
me as ahomely OF ungainly man, but
always as loyable man.
I said: The landlord up there,

Before dark he came to the hotel
and becloned me into room across
the hall, sat down at a table, took
out q specie-bag and shook it merrily
saying, in a confidential undertone ::

He counted the money, put it
back into the bag and handed it to
me, saying:

Masonic Mutual Benefits.

The Secretary's Report-Amendmen to
 the By-layvs-No Action Taken.
 The annual meeting of the Masonic Mutual Benefit association was held last evening, Eli s. Quintard, the president, in the chair.
 The annual report of the secretary, Fred. H. Waldron, was read and same will be print, ed and mailed to the members. From this report we learn that the amount in the con- tingent fund is SIS, ,764.61, $17, ,O00 of which is securely invested in bonds and $1, 764. 61 in cash.
 There has been collected since the organi- zation $312, 176. 30, all of which has been paid over to the treasurer and by him paid out as ordered by the board of directors, except the balance which is in his hands. Every cent paid in has been properly accounted for, certificates to that effect are on file in the office. Over quarter of million of dollars ($272, TOY .0O) have been paid the families of deceased members, and it is safe to say that 70 per cent of the money has gone into families who otherwise would have been left penniless. The amount of good done, the suffering alleviated and the joy carried to desolate homes cannot be com puted in dollars and cents. It is enough for us to know that each of us in our individual capacity have been privileged to do our share of the good work, and we may enjoy the happy reflection of having been instrumental in drying the tears of the afflicted, providing for those in want and feeling assured that when our time comes to leave those behind whom we love that others will as cheerfully give for them as we have given for the as- sistance of the families of those who have gone before.
 Several amendments to the bylaws were not acted upon, there not being quorum present.

 Mrs. Clarissa B., wife of MT. Ebenezer Roberts, of Hartford, died yesterday. About a fortnight ago Mrs. Roberts was troubled with an affection of the ear, which is sup posed to have been due to the effects of 8 cold. An abscess was formed and Drs. Jarvis and Bacon were summoned to attend her. Complications set in, of which she died. Her husband and daughter, Mrs. Wm. c. Skin ner, survive her. She was universally es- teemed in Hartford.

Big Blaze at Des Moines-A Loss o1
 $500, ,OOO-Other Fire Losses.
 DEs MONIES, IA, Jan. 12.-Fire broke out in Clapp's block about o'clock this morn ing, and at one time threatened the total de- struction of the block in which was located the Citizens National bank and many fine stores and numerous offices, including the Western Union telegraph office The fire men succeeded in getting the flames under control at o'clock. Three stories and the main part of the block were destroyed, ex- cept the corner ground room, occupied by the Citizens National bank, which was saved. The fire burned two stories above it and down to the railing of the bank. The two story part of the block occupied by Whites store, Matthews & Liddlee's hard ware store and French's grocery was not de- stroyed, nor are the stocks of these stores much injured. The principal losses are: Conigsky, Humphries $ Morris W. L. White, Matthews & Leslie. and J. Price. The block is owned by E. R. Clapp, and val ued at $1OO,000. Very little was saved in the offices above, and nothing WAS saved from the Masonic Hall, which occupied most of the third floor The Masons' loss is $12,- GOO. The total loss will be beyond $2OO,- GOO. There was no loss of life or serious ac- c1dent.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 12.-The loss by fire of one of the fine cotton mills of Manayunk this afternoon will reach $35, ,OOO It was insured for $11, 1,5OO.

to have been saved and 42 are unaccounted
 for. The bodies of the latter are supposed
 to be in the ruins. The idea that the fire
 was of incendiary origin is gaining ground.
 There is substantial rumor that the New
 hall House had been fired five times in the
 past two years. On four occasions piles of
 infiammsble stuff were placed near the ele-
 vator on the lower floor and ignited Each incendiary attempt was made at night, but fortunately the incipient blaze was extin- guished. The regular boarders believed that some one had spite against the building. The latest estimates place the loss of life at 127 lives. The work of removing the debris is progressing, and two bodies were taken out this morning. One is thought to be that of Miss Chellis. W. E. Wiley, of Detroit, who came to Milwaukee on Monday as local agent of the Michigan Central, is the last victim reported w. o. Hall of Laporto, Ind, had both legs broken and was otherwise injured by jumping from the burning building and died this This makes the list of known dead 62. Five victims of the holocaust were buried from St. Johns cathedral to day with imposing ceremonies. John Gilbert of the Minnie Palmer company, who had his skull passed very painful night and serious doubts are now expressed as to his recovery. The workmen are finding hun dreds of miscellaneous articles among the debris. The scene is most sickening around the ruins and the charred remains found are taken to the morgue immediately.

WilSOnia Magnetic
 MUTUAL Insurance.

We make no specialties among the multi form diseases in treating with the Wilsonia Magnetic Appliances
 Testimonials of cures of all diseases by Wilsonia are too abundant to admit of a doubt as to it's curative powers, but Catarrh being very prevalent in this climate, we are calling special attention to this disease.
 Catarrh is essentially blood poison, and will, if unchecked, involve all parts of the body. Personal experience, as well as many indisputable cures by Wilsonia in this city and neighborhood, prove beyond the shadow of doubt that this mode of treatment is the most successful ever adopted for the cure of Catarrh. It so changes the quality of the blood that the system throws of the germ of the disease, and is purified. We have not known one case of Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Con- stipation or Rheumatism to fail of cure where the Appliances were worn as directed. We therefore give guarantees for the cure of these three diseases, or refund half the mon- ey, simply to get the doubting to try, for we know that none of them will ever claim the return of the money.
 Those who cannot pay all cash can pay one-half, and the balance in easy install ments.
 We ask all chronic sufferers who are able to call and get particulars from our agent, JULIUS IVES, No. Elm street, Todd's Block, New Haven, or by sending card he will visit them.
 It greatly strengthens confidence to exam inc the goods.
