WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. "a. = The
National Republican will print tomorrow
come extracts from the dairy OF Lieutenant
Lockwood of the 'Greely Arctic
Colony, describing the manner in
which the starving party spent the
last Christmas at Cape Sabine
in the Arctic region. Lieut. Lockwood
kept the diary in short hand. which has
been transcribed by n member OF his FAM
lily and he appears to have made full re-
cord OF everything OF importance which
happened in the daily life Of tho party.
The extracts which the, Republican will
print relate as to how Christmas drew
near, and the officers and men joined in
tho talk Of home, and plan
ned grand feast for the time
when they should reach the civilized
world, and how they made preparations
for the feast on the approaching Christ
mas by setting apart small portions Of
their daily rations.
On December 2lst Lockwood writes:
"By great effort | was able to save one
ounce OF my bread and about two ounces
Of butter for Christmas. shall make a
vigorous effort to abstain from eating be-
fore them" =
He adds that he put in a charge OF
"binderbeck" as an additional safeguard.
On December %, he writes: "We look
forward to tomorrow and Christmas,
and I offered to give any one a roast tur-
key on reaching home for single dog
biscuit now, but found no takers"
He says on the next day: II saved
nearly all my hard bread for Christmas,
though l need it sorcly," and
that to make Christmas dinner
grander ho made tremendous
effort and went without his
rum in order to have it for Christmas to
add to the punch. On Christmas eve he
added to his scanty savings for next days
feast half his bread and his piece Of
lemon"

Tho Destruction OF tho Masonic Temples
tNUe Valuable Things iurncd.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 24.--A fire started thit
morning in the cellar Of ]. Il. Mills &
Co., stationery and mercantile printing
establishment, situated on Walnut street,
above Third, in tho northeast corner ol
tho Masonic Temple. The fire extended
rapidly into other portions Of tho Temple,
which is large building, fronting on
Third street, and extending to IN alley
midway between Walnut and Main. Tho
first portion Of the Temple TO burn in.
cluded tho most valuable scenery, organ
and other property belonging to tho Scot.
tish Rite fraternity; and known to be tho
most complete In the West. 1t was
largely the result OF the lifelong labor OF
Mr.. Enoch +. Carson, who has devoted
much time and study, rs well as money,
10 making this cathedral the most com.
Rote Of It's kind. The loss to the Masonic
fraternity will be heavy. Mills & Co.'s
establishment Is necessarily total loss, rs
water destroys what may bo left by the
fire. The total loss must reach about
hundred thousand dollars. Two fircmen
wero severely injured by falling wall.
by IL o'clock the fire was fully under
control and was confined to tho Masonic
Temple and mainly to the north half, the
building being divided by wide hall
running from east to west. The Masonic
Temple is the property Of Nova C,esarca
Lodge OF Alasons, and was builtat at a cost
OF two hundred thousand dollars. 1t is
insured for Sl20,000, much more than
enough to cover the loss on tho building.
The principal item ofloss is that OF the
Scottish rite, whose property was OH the
third and fourth floors portion Of the
building first damaged by fire. Their loss
is estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
Enoch Y. Carson's Masonic library was
worth ten thousand dollars and contained
many works impossible 10 be replaced,
was wholly lost and was uninsured. II
will be sinccrly regretted by Mr.. Carson
rs well as all Masons who knew its char
acter and value. '-r rms
The losses to other lodges are not so
heavy, as much property was carried
away. Lawyers Offices mainly in the Third |
street front OF the building are chiefly i'll
jured by water and smoke. j. Il. ills &
Co., in whose establishment the fire start. |
ed, cannot estimate their loss, but as the |
printing house, separate from the other, is |
not burned, it is thought thirty thousand
will cover the loss, OH which they have
m insurance of ten thousand. The total
loss to the Masonic Temple building is es.
timatcd ut $4,000, and to the Scottish
Rite $4,000; ]. Il. Mills & Co., $50 900;
Others, $4,000. Tie Scottish Rite insur.
ance is $4,000. The insurance Offices
and banks OH Third street removed their
fearing destruction, but escaped
with wetting.
The revised loss and insurance OF the
Temple fire is rs follows: Ma.
sonic Temple building $50, 900, insured for
SIZE, 600; Scottish Rite loss $4,000, insnr
ed for $1,000; ]. r. Mills & Co., loss S25,-
600, insured for Sl2, 800; all other losses
5000. Total loss Sl50,0O0; aggregate in
