ALBANY, n. Y, December 26.-The
house which Governor Cleveland has rented
in Albany, to be occupied by him during
the interval between his resigning the Gov.
ernoTs nip and his Inauguration as President
is remote from the hotels and capitol, and
away from The streets most frequent"d in
winter. More accessible and quite as com.
Portable houses could have been had, and
for this reason il is assumed that the choice
ofa temporary residence was determined by
a desire to he as much out Of reach as pos.
sible in town Of this size. A near adviser
of Cleveland is authority for saying that
there have been 40 positive proffers nor &C
ceptances Of Cabinet positions, nor Is there
likely TO be any until after the
Governor lays down his present trust. The
same authority says that the statesmen like
Bayard who have CONS here to see Cieve'
land have done so on an indirect invitation
from the latter, whose sole object IN causing
the invitations to be extended has been TO
enable him 10 become personally acquainted
with these gentlemen, and to learn more
than he otherwise could about the duties he
is abous to assume. Il know, SAID this
gentlemen that Governor Cleveland would

are made of these visits have been for the

must be expected where there are SO many

CrueI Deceptions of Chicago nascals.
CHICAGO, December 26.-Mayor Harrison
Yesterday received letter from Mayor
GuillUtte, of New Orleans, saying that
certain employment agency Of this city, was
advertising that 900 men were wanted to
work on the levees of the Mississippi river
in Louisiana. Mayor Guillotte says that
there is no such work to be had and that
thousands of idle men in New Orleans are
unable to obtain employment. The men
sent south by this agency become vagrants,
and he asks that the working class OF this
city be warned against the folse statements
of the agency. A lieutenant of police ex,
amined the books Of the agency and found
them all right on their face, though he says
in his report that the deceived persons are
sent so far away by the agency that they
are not able TO lodge complaints against It.

houses to the fields on the outskirts of tho
town. Some were wounded while

by falling bricks and cornices, but mono

number Of buildings were badly damaged
and it will acquire considerable outlay to
repair them before they can be occupied
with safety.
At Molagathe the shook was most disas-
trously felt, many houses being wrecked and
a number of fthe.inmates buried in the ruins.
MANY persons were killed and large num-
bers wounded. Those who escaped without
injury deserted their houses and camped In
the open squares and fields outside o. the
town. The refugees were
