New York Town Almost Wiped Out
 The Flames Causing Losses Of a
 Million Dollars.
 WATERTowN, N. Y., Oct. 20.-Ruin stares in the faces of the people of Carthage, town Tn Jefferson county, tonight. During the entire day until long after sundown con- migration swept through the most valuable districts and the inhabitants are utterly tired out with their exertions to save their proper ty. A high wind drove the wind from house to house and the local fire department was powerless. Nearly two hundred buildings are burned and the loss can only be estimated at nearly $1 ,000, 900. The fire started on the west side of the river in Meyer, Ross & Co.'s furniture factory and RenelPs tannery and dwelling and several other buildings adjoin- ing were soon ignited and the sparks carried by the gale ScIoss the river set fire in rapid succession to a woollen mill, three saw mills, 8 blast furnace, grist mill, foundry and ma chine shop. By this time the atmosphere was so filled with suffocating smoke, and the heat was so intense, that in despair help was telegraphed for from this city, Utica and Lowville, and it was promised speedily Three churches, Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian, were the next to suffer and in a few hours at least eighty dwellings north of Main street were swept away. The town hall, the Peck house, the school building and the engine house are also in ashes. The ar rival of several engines from Watertown alone saved the Lewis house and a large part of Main street from destruction. The insur- ance of losses is unknown and it is feared much destitution will result among the poor CT people, many of whom have lost every thing.

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-05-26

The senate committee on public lands has
decided to report bills forfeiting the land
grants opposite the uucompleted portions of
the Northern Pacific main and branch lines,
and the Atlantic and Pacific railroads
Senator Plumb, chairman of the committee,
says it is impossible to calculate the number
of acres involved, as in both cases some OF
the land was taken up before the charters
were granted, and in the case of the Atlantic
and Pacific the road was not constructed in
the direct line contemplated. Nominally
the senator thinks the, forfeiture OF the
Northern Pacific will amount to about
100000 acres, and of. the Atlantic and
Pacific to about 100000 acres.
Senator Slater, who is the author of the bill
providing for the forfeiture of the land grant
to the Northern Pacific railroad, says the
actual number of acres forfeited along that
line will he about 100000, which is about
10000 900 acres less than is proposed by the
house committee on public lands. Senator
Slater's bill further provides that lien lands
hereafter selected, If occupied by bona fde
settlers, shall be sold at SIPS per acre for 160
acrus.

The Suicidal Impulse.

1t is not only the poor and friendless who
has showered her richest gifts are quite as
likely to take their own lives as those who
are obliged to maintain perpetual struggle
with poverty. The peculiar mental aliena-
ton in which the suicidal impulse has its
origin may spring from conditions and cir
cumstances that have no connection whatever
Thomas p. Grinnell had control of fortune
of $2,O000Oo. but with all his abundant
means he found life an ntolerablo burden.
1t does not appear that no was engaged in
any kind of business that put his mind to an
unusual strain. Ten years ago he was a Wall
street operator, but in 1873 he retired from
with his family, whore he resided for a
number of years. He was contemplating
another trip to Europe, and one of his last
business transactions was the purchasing Of
tickets for tho passage and tho procuring Of
a certified check for $4,000, which he no
doubt intended to use in the purchase of
foreign exchange. Everything shows that a
few hours before his death he had no thought
of killing himself. Tho impulse camo sud-
denly, and the tragedy quickly followed. 1t
is possible that Mr., Grinnelps convivial
habits may have tended to produce the
mental disease which ran its course so
swiftly, but his friends maintain that he was
not an habitual drinker and that he had not
been drinking at all for some days, Cases
like this lead to tho conclusion that tho
suicidal mania is disease which may develop
in an instant aud without any apparent
cause. II something bad interfered to pro-
vent the carrying out of the morbid impulse
it might have passed OFF without producing I
fatal result II Is said that Mr.. Grinnel
took an overdose Of lAudanum in 1876 tina
nearly ended his life Assuming that thi
was an attempt al suicide, 1t goes to establish
tho theory that the W. is involuntary, for il
