Asorr 80 O'Clock on last Satur.
day u.ght, the cry Of "FmE ~ re
eow dcl throughout on streets,
and appalled, the senses OF all our
people. The cause @, the alarm
was the burning of Ben. Jacobs
house, on Pine St., occupied as a
residence by Arthur Bond. The
writer was first to reach the scene,
when the smoke was crowdin~ in
huge, black columns from between
the house proper and the kitchen
root, and very soon thereafter
flames shot forth, and the work OF
destruction was soon completed
When the alarm was first sounded,

fully ran for the water wagon, and
hauled it to the ground, and thro'
It's contents and the heroic efforts
OF the crowd the building of II. j.
Miller, contiguous to the doomed
one, was saved. Never did men
work harder to harrass the red
tongued demon of destruction, and
much OF its prey was snatched from
Its NAV just Is its tongue was rea-
dy to lick it up. Mr.. and Mrs,
Bond were absent. hence the front
door had to be broken open, and
in less time than it takes TO tell it,
the contents Of the front apart
ment, even to the carpet. were
safely carried out, but nothing in
the kitchel was saved, and there,
sad to say, were trunks containing
all OF Mr.. and Mrs. BIS wearing
apparel save what they had on their
backs, and Arthur's wedding suit,
which had been temporarily depos-
tied in the bureau. The loss OF
owner and tenant was uninsured.
The intrinsic value of Mr.. and Mrs.
BIS loss was over $500, but the
soul-swelling, heart-string tearing
consequent upon the taking away,
and manner Of taking, OF sacred
mementos, cannot be weighed,
measured or estimated. The wed

several states and territories:

To this sum must be added S5,000,0Ot
appropriated by comprehensive bill
offered by Mr.. Hill, of Ohio, to provide
for the construction of fire proor post
Office buildings, for the exclusive use of
the postal service at all places of the
United States having postofices of the
second end third classes. Thirty
thousand dollars is fixed as the
maximum cost of buildings for
the second class and $l5, 600 for third class
Offices, and al should be built capable of
enlargement and are TO be of uniform size
and Dimensions. Contracts are to be let
to the lowest bidders, but no person is to
be interested in more than ten of these
buildings. This grand scheme of construc-
tion is to be supervised by an officer to be
known as the chief architect of the post
Office department. About the most interest
ing section of this bill is the eighth: sThat
all moneys expended and all payments
made for material or labor under the pro-
visions of this act shall be made in stand
ard silver coin of the United States, and
in no other currency whatever" This bill
appropriates $5,oo0,oOO, but his is only
starter. There are now 4l9 second class
and LIT third class postofices. It would
cost s39, ,225,0O0 to supply these Offices with
buildings according to Mr.. Hills plan.
But the government pays per cent for
money and 10 per cent for buildings, and
besides this buildings would cost
much less on general plan like this
that they will under the present system of
special appropriations, which very seldom
are less than $4,000. These second and
third class postofices in some of the west
ern states are as follows:

New YORK, Jan. 24.- The market had
fuctuated from strength and activity to
dullness and steadiness as the price of
Northern Pacific and Oregon ebbed and
flowed. Whenever the latter gave any in
dications of doing better the market was
quick to improve, and when they weaken
ed and declined it maintained dogged
resistance to any decline. At the opening
there was very good buying in st. Paul,
and the bears were inclined to cover in the
belief that the meeting to-day would have
a peaceful result. Oregon Transconti-
mental was sold down to 16$S, Northern
Pacific preferred, under covering of shorts,
sold up to 4324, but as soon as their de-
mands were met there appeared to be no
other use for it, and the price settled
down. There were more rallies and more
life to this stock during ths day than for
the past four. But it is still very groggy.
During the middle hours sharp raid was
made on Jersey, and the price was reduced
from 8711s to S3115, but it came up sailing.
Vanderbilt brokers sold 100 Pullman, seller
60, buyers scattering. West Shore bonds
were down under report that the road
would certainly go into the hands of re-
ceiyer, in which case his certificates would
of course take the precedence of the bonds.
Gould stocks were we'll taken care of, and
the bears did not manifest any special de-
sire to molest them. The Vanderbilts were
also neglected by the same element. st.
Paul earnings the third week in January
increased $23. 700; Northwestern $55, 400;
Omaha do $4,000.
During the last half hour Manhattan
advanced from 4111s to 40, which helped
strengthen the market. The market closed
strong, with Gould stocks, Union Pacific
and Western Union, very firm. 1t is re-
ported that Mitchell is heavy buyer OF
st. Paul.
sharp advance at the commencement
of bsiness in the stocks that were
so severely punished yesterday coup
led with very good buying of
st. Paul gave the market better look
for time. The improvement, unfortu-
nately for early buyers, was of short dura-
tion. Northern Pacific preferred dropped
from 4324 to 402E, the West Shore bonds
collapsed, and profits disappeared before
the noon hour was reached. A bull pool
to take 65,OoO Northern Pacific was report
ed as formed, and the stock was kept very
firm. A raid on Jersey Central ana Read
ing was inaugurated during the afternoon
which unsettled values again. The lighter
stocks were rather neglected, if we except
Denver, which at one time
advanced about points. Pullman Palace
remained quiet in the nsighborhood Of 10
Manitoba appeared to be pretty we'll over
sold, and is not considered very safe
short sale at present figures. 1t has been
an exciting day. Stocks closed generally
firm.

Trade was rather quiet, with steady
range of prices on all sorts. On some Of
the roads the trains were late on account
Of the snoW storm last night.
There is fair demand for
EXPORT cattle, and some lots
not at all fully finished sold at Sc 80.
There seems to be no let up to the demand
for butchers stock, as ell sorts are selling
equally as well as last week. Dealers in
st0ckers and feeders report trade as rather
quiet, yet prices continue to rule high for
good stock. There is an almost unIimited
demand for young stock-yearlings and
2alves-heifers of the latter description
selling nearly as we'll as steers. CLoice
young stock is just rev in demand from
all parts of the country where cattle rails
ing is carried On as an in
dustry. What is unusual
there is an urgent demand for yearling
heifer calves that for some time have com
manded nearly as high prices as stesrs.
Among lot recently marketed here the
heifers made nearly $26 per head, bus they
were prime we'll bred with good short
horn foundation.
About 5000 less hogs were received than
week ago to-day end nearly 10000 less
than for the corresponding period of last
week. The maket opened with good
deal of vim, especially in the northwest
division, where prices ruled higher than in
Burlington or Rock Island during the first
hours of the morning. The general market
is strong and sc higher, and extremes
show an advance of string 10c. Common
medium and mixed sorts sold better than
heavy and heavy assorted.

sidered the time for reporting the bill. The
general opinion is, that all the appro-
priations oughtto be embodied in enc

THE NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
At the session of the national board CT
trade, Dodd, of Portland, Oregon, read a
paper on the desirability of removing ne
bar at the mouth of the Columbia and VII
lamette rivers in Oregon. After discussion
the resolution was adopted requesting con
gress TO make an appropriation for that
purpose. The feasibility of enlarging the
Michigan and Illinois canal, and the con-
structlon of the Hennepin canal was also
discussed. 1t was tbs genera sense of the
convention that congress should further
these works. At the afternoon session of
the convention, they considered the expo
diency of recommending legislation, look
ing to the enactment of national bank
rupt law. A resolution was passed, urg-
ing congress to frame such
Law, based on, or embracing the general
principles of the Lowell bill. Several
measures were proposed amendstory to the
American shipping laws were referred to a
committee composed of WetherelI, of
Philadelphia, Low, of San Francisco,

sideration of their report, and to discns-
sion of the Oregon interstate commerce

D. w. Sellers, of the Philadelphia, vii
rnington & Baltimore company, tock me
broad ground that no power of congress
could regulate railroad Interstate COM
merce in the senses proposed by the bills
before the committee. He asserted that
there was no such thing as commerce be-
tween states by rail, in the constitutional
sense of the word. He argued that roads
that are charted by states are under state
control, and have their rates regulated by
these states, and it is only through agree
ments between railroad companies termi-
mating at state lines that interstate com
merce is now carried on.

THE FINANCE COMMITTEES.

The senate finance committee had sew
eral meetings to-day to consider the bank
ing bills. This morning Senator Sher-
mans bill was taken up and a substitute
offered by Senator Aldrich authorizing the
issue of currency equal in amount to the
par value of all bonds except four per
cents. deposited for security on cIroula-
ton. Upon the four per cents, the banks
are to receive at the rate OF $40 currency
for 500 bonds. The arrangement will
continue until January L, 1890, and there
after the amount is to decrease 81 each
year until it reached the par value of the
bonds. Some questions have arisen in re.
gard to the effect of the two meas.
ures it wes determined to ask
the opinion of Comptroller Knox
Mr.. Knox went before the committee this
afternoon and expressed the opinion that
there was little choice between the meas
ures as to the ultimate effect. He expressed
qualified preference for the substitute,
as being more easily understood than the
original bill. Upon the conclusion OF
Knox's remarks, the question of substitu-
tion was decided afirmatively by five tc
three. Senator McPherson's bill was then
offered as substitute to AidFich's propo
sition. II provides for the issue of circu
Iating notes equal in amount to the pal
value of the bonds of all kinds deposited
as security for circulation. The vote upon
this question resulted in tie -four tc
