THE Loss OF THE MAAsDAm.

Destroyed By Fire At Sea-The Crew
 and Passengers All Safe Nm Port
 Nothing Saved From The Wreck.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-At 3 o'clock this af- ternoon General Steamship Agent Vanden Torn received the following despatch from quarantine:
 Steamer Rhein reports that October 24, p. m., latitude 49 3s, longitude 27 41 she fell in with the all ablaze. Took from her boats all the passengers and crew, in all 1s6 persons. The Rhein proceeded board. Nothing whatever was saved of the cargo
 Another dispatch from the captain of the Rhein states that at about 9 p. m. on October 24 he saw 8 steamer ablaze in the distance. He put on steam and approached as near as possible to the burning vessel, and then gent out his boats. These picked up in the boats of the Maasdam all her passengers and crew, one hundred and two, of whom twenty four were children and ten babies, and the crew eighty-two.
 ==,The Maasdam had miscellaneous cargo, the most of which was consigned to busi- ness houses in this city. The steamship was valued at $200, 1000. Captain Wander Zee of the steamship Maasdam makes the following statement: We left Rotterdam October IS, with eight cabin, one hundred and thirty-three steerage passengers and crew of forty-fve men. All went well until the 23d, when we encountered vio- lent gale from the northwest, during which the petroleum tank began leaking slightly. The next day at p. m. one of the crew in trying to discover the leak placed a lighted lamp near the tank, which exploded with a loud report, the contents taking fire, and setting fire to the ship. We made every eff fort to get control of the fire, but it was useless At 4 p. m. ordered all hands to the boats, which were safely launched, and remained in them in the neighborhood of the burning vessel until 9 p. m., when all hands were rescued by the steamer Rhein, from Bremen for New York Not one of the passengers or crew was lost or injured in the slightest manner When we were picked up we were in latitude 49' 45', longitude 27' Al. Nothing whatever was saved either by passengers or crew.

Friendly Burglars.

Yesterday afternoon during the absence of the family the residence of MT. Joseph E. Fairchild, No. 330 York street, was foreibly entered by parties unknown to the family. When Mir. and Mrs. Fairchild returned in the evening they were surprised to find their house illuminated and conjectured all kinds of mischief. No mischief had been done, however; instead of being plundered they found an elegant easy chair, hanging lamp and embroidered table spread had been added to their stock of furniture with brief note reminding them that five years of thei1 married life had passed and that congratula- tions were in order. The guilty parties Jeff no token of their identity, but they are sus- pected and will. be deemed guilty until proven innocent

A Monster TOrchIight Parade-SIxty
 Thousand Men Nm Line-The Great
 est Political Demonstration Ever
 Seen In This Country.
 NFw YORK, Oct. 31.-The great parade in honor of Blaine and Logan, for which such extensive preparations have been in progress fer several weeks past, took place tonight and was without doubt one of the grandest political demonstrations ever witnessed in this country. It was estimated that between fifty and sixty thousand persons were in line, fully one-half of whom were in uniform or carried either torches or Ian terms. The costumes worn by many of the companies were of the most elaborate de scription, nothing like them having ever been seen before in any political pageant in this city. The marching of the different bodies was unusually fine and evoked great applause. MT. Blaine, accompanied by General Graham, General Aspinwall, Colonel James c. Reed and several members of the National com mittee, arrived at the grand stand at 9:30. He was received with great cheering which lasted for several minutes. At least an hour before the head of the procession reached the reviewing point the open space in front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel and all the streets in the vicinity were filled with 8 mass of humanity. The line of march was from Fifty-third street down Fifth avenue to Fifty-eighth street.
 to Madison avenue, to Thirty third street, to Fifth avenue and past the reviewing stand near the Worth monument. The head of the procession, with Grand Marshal General Joseph B. Carr and his aides numbering over two hundred horsemen, arrived at Mad ison Square shortly before 10 o'clock. They were received with great cheering from the immense multitude These were fol lowed bv the Capital City club of AL bany and the Edison electric light contingent. The latter presented a very brilliant and novel spectacle. The officers of the different companies rode in front, each wearing in his bronze helmet under white plume an cleo | tric light of two hundred candle power. The | first division was under the charge of Gen l eral Anson G. McCook and staff | and among the forty companies and clubs \ that made up the division were the Ellenger l PIumed Knights of Flushing, L. l., the \ Blaine and Logan club of Tarrytown, the Richmond County Boys in Blue,
 the New Rochelle zouaves, the Hoyt guards of Stamford, Ct.,- the Blaine
 and Logan club of Amsterdam, N. Y., and | the Republican Invincibles. All these organ 1 izations marched in splendid form and were loudly cheered as they wheeled past the review ing stand. The second division was under General H. A. Barnum and staff | ] consisted almost entirely of uniformed com panies from the various assembly districts The Invincibles of the Young Mems Republi
 can club of Philadelphia presented fine ap
 pearance and their splendid marching created
 great applause.M MT. Blaine was much pleased
 with the gorgeous spectacle and was kep
 bugy for hours raising his hat to the differen
 companies as they marched by saluting. A
 midnight only about half the procession hae reached the reviewing stand.

Beecher re- ferred to the banquet given on Wednesday to Blaine and said that in his opinion Mr. Blaine by being present at this time had acted imprudently. MT. Beecher also con- demned in strong terms the remarks made by Rev Dr. Prichard at the convention of ministers at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on We'd nesday. At the upper stand Henry Hentz, ex-president of the Cotton Exchange, presided and speeches were made by Carl Schurz and David A. Boody.
