NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The ashes of Eu-
gene Lievre's body were yesterday morning
removed from the retort of the Long Island
crematory. The intense heat had faxed
the chilled Norway iron cradle and bits of
metal were brushed out with Lievre's
ashes. A magnet quickly removed these,
and a fan was used to blow other eXtrane-
Gus substances away. The ashes were then
put in japanese tin can. They weighed
five and one-quarter pounds, or about 8 per
cent. of the weight of the body-a pretty
large remnant compared with results of other
cremations. The can and contents were
sent by special messenger to Adolph Liz
vere's residence. This afternoon slight alter
ations in the CRATE and draught pipes were
made. The building committee hope soon
to turn out ashes as fine as emery sand. 1t
is understood that the cremation of the
bodies now lying in Jersey Cily cemetery
under the control of Undertaken Spear will
be the next to take place. The bodies are
those of two brothers. Application was
made to-day by the father Of the young girl
who died last week to have day set apart
when her body will be privately cremated.

Chicaso,s Weather Report.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-At 8 o'clock this
evening the temperature in the central part
of the city stood at zero. The night is
clear and stiff breeze blows from the
north, promising considerable more than
zero weather before morning. Reports
from outside the city indicate steadily in
creasing cold. The blizzard came to an end
yesterday morning and train men report
that the snow that fell between here and
Pierre, Oak, was insufficient to impede
travel, though all that did fall was blown
into drifts. The damage done by the storm
Friday night is much greater than was at
first supposed. The lake has seldom been
rougher along the shore skirting Lincoln
park. The temporary breakwaters were
totally demolished and the waves made
deep inroads completing destruction of the
lake shore drive, which was begun last
spring. For more than mile the entire
width of the drive, with the pave
ment and coping, is washed out, and in it's
place is tangled mess of wreckage, tan
bark and other rubbish. The damage
amounts to many thousands of dollars.

Perhaps the first trouble is bereavement.

sisters. Each one lost the first born, and
suppose that in
HUNDREDS OF CASES
in this house it was the first born that was
taken. Some people give what is to me a
very absurd reason for that. They say it is
because the child is loved too much. T do
not think that is possible l do not believe
any father or mother loved child too much.
You cannot love your child too
much. God did not take your
child because you loved 1t,

God so often takes the first born: 1t is to
| transfer your affections to heaven and make
that place the more grand and blessed; at
the beginning of your life making heaven
blessed, so that you keep thinking OF that
place and so be elevated and lifted on to-
ward it. 1 think that is the reason. Per-
haps am wrong. am sure the other rea-
son is wrong, that so many people give
when they say it is because you love your

Now, suppose the first trial comes and
you have no Cod What then? Have you
ever tried to see one go through bereave-
ment without any God? l have witnessed
that sad spectacle. But we want grace, we
want divine grace, when bereavement
comes into the house which erst was full of
sunny locks and greetings at the door, and
kisses flung by little hands from the window
as you went down the front steps, and the
doves in the nest cry because the hawk
swoops, and the cheek pales and the eyes
close and the heart stops. Oh, to put away
garments that never will be worn again, to
gather up from the floor toys that never
again will strew the carpet, and to 90 with
sense of suffocation through the desolated
household that once rang with childish
merriment! Oh, my God! who can stand
that without Thy grace to help, without Thy
grace to smoothe, without Thy grace to
comfort? Oh, you will want Christ in your
first trouble, and so 1 beg of you this morn
! ing to take Him as yours.

Destructive Flames i'm Chicago.

DeStructlVe ElameS I'm CA1caSOs
CHICAGO, Dec. Gas the temperature
approached zero this afternoon two alarms
of fire, sounded III quick succession, sum-
moned half dozen engines and shivering
firemen to blazing building near the
corners of Van Buren, and Franklin streets.
The flames had gained such headway that
the volumes Of water soon brought to bear
had apparently no effect whatever. Other
engines and men came to the aid of those
first on hand, and, while the fire continued
to burn furiously, half hundred fremen
became coated with ice from head
to foot. The street and sidewalk looked
like a skating rink and the adjoining
buildings like architectural icebergs. By
the time the men were chilled and ex-
hausted the fire had burned itself out aud
the building and its contents were total
loss. The burnt block is known as the
Seip building, Nos. 257 to 273 Franklin
street. The property destroyed is roughly
estimated at $300.000. The occupants of
the gutted stores are Morrison & Buchart,
G. M. Henderson and Rollins, Shaw & Co.
The frst-named firm carried line of jute,
burlaps and paper bags valued at $50, 900.
G. NJ. Henderson's loss is SIS, 900 worth OF
boots and shoes and raw material. Rollins,
Shaw & Co. are dealers in worsted goods,
and handle dry goods on commission. They
carried stock owned mostly by Eastern
houses, valued at 100000. A late survey
of the premises shows that nothing worth
speaking of was saved from the building or
contents. The building was owned by
Conrad Seip and was valued
| at $50, 900, the loss being fully covered by
insurance. Henderson & Co.'S loss is S75,-
900. The firm of Rollins, Shaw & Co. is
the heaviest losers. Its insurance amounts
to total of $131, 900 and is distributed in
amounts of So, 500 between forty-four East
ern and Southern companies, $4,000 each
with the Allemania of Pittsburg and the
Greenwich of New York, and $1,000 on
fixtures in the Girard of Philadelphia. The
buildings were insured for about S25, 900 in
the Connecticut and the Commercial Union
companies. Mr.. Henderson stated tonight
that his stock was insured for $25. 600, but
would not name the companies. Morrison,
6 Buckart carried only $45,00O in
surance, which was placed chiefly in Ducat
& Lyons agency. The danger to Parm-
lees stables, which adjoined the burning
buildings, created considerable ex-
citement. Huge waves of smoke
and flame would occasionally shoot
over the stable building, and finally it was
deemed necessary to take the horses out.
They were turned into the street and nearly
created stampede in their fright. Several
of the fremen had narrow escapes owing
to the thick coat of ice which covered every
thing and one was quite seriously injured
by falling from ladder. Not in several
years has fire occasioned such complete
destruction in so short time.

Possible Trouble in Utah.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-The war de-
partment has recently received such reports
from its officials in . Utah regarding the very
unsettled condition of affairs in that terri
tory growing out of the enforcement of the
laws against polygamy, as to cause some
uneasneSS but no alarm. The recent shoot
ing of a Mormon by United States mar
shal created a great deal of excitement
among the Mormons, and some appre-
tensions were felt at Salt Lake that there
would be an uprising among them. A bat
terry of artillery was recently ordered from
Omaha to Fort Douglass. which is situated
a few miles from Salt Lake City. This
movement, however, was not particularly
on account of any fear of q Mormon re-
bellion. but had been in contemplation
some time. The force now at Fort Doug
lass consists Of full regiment of infantry
and battery of artillery, and is under the
command of Gen. McCook. In the event
of trouble in Utah, all the troops i'll the de-
partment of the Platte could be concen-
trated at Fort Douglass in avery few hours.
No serious trouble, however, is appre-
hended by army officers.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec 6.-There has been
no new departure of troops from Omaha
since yesterday, when Battery d was dis
patched West on a special train. Gen.
Howard refused to state the destination of
the soldiers, but it is generally conceded
they are bound for Salt Lake. The entire
garrison is held in readiness for orders to
march. The Ninth cavalry (colored), sta
toned at Fort Robinson, is also ready to
leave at moments notice.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 6.-All is quiet
here and there is no probability of trouble.
The precautions for the preservation Of life
and property are ample. The action of
Gov. Murray and Gen. McCook in reporting
the threatening situation here and getting
authority to station troops in the city, and
the ordering of the regiments, have removed
all apprehens;ons for the present. Nc
Murray, who was supposed to be fatally
shot by Deputy Marshal Collins, is re-
covering.
CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Dec. 6.-Batteries B
and c, Fifth United States artillery, passed
through here this evening Ell route to Salt
Lake City. The troops at Glussel, Fred
Steel and Washable are under marching or
ders to be ready to move at moments no
tice. Many rumors are atloat regarding the
uprising of the Mormons, but at $50 p. IN.
your correspondent has information that
everything is quiet in and around Salt Lake.

Cattle Growers EIated.

DEMING, N. NJ, Dec. 6.-Large cattle
growers in this and other parts Of New
Mexico are greatly elated by the action of
the St. Louis national cattle growers con-
vention in recommending the fence-rail
government to maintain quarantine against
Texas cattle. On the other hand geodly
number of Texas cattle kings who own
ranches in New Mexico, which they an
nually stock from their Texas ranches, see
nothing but ruin staring them in the face
if the quarantine is maintained against
them. The st. Louis resolution settles all
talk about raising the territorial quarantine
against Texas. Even Gov. Ross of Texas,
who owns ranches in both places, comedies
that it would be madness for New Mexico
to raise the quarantine at this time, and the
New Mexican cattlemen are so stiffened
now that they talk of nothing but perpet-
ual quarantine against Texas.

No Provision for the Vice Presidency

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ga telegraphlc
error was made yesterday in the transmits
sion of a dispatch briefly explaining the pro-
visions of the presidential-succession bill
which the Republican senatorial caucus de-
cded to reintroduce and press to a passage.
The measure makes no provision for sue
cession to the vice presidency, as the dis
patch was made to indicate, but confers the
succession to the presidency, in the case of
vacancy in the offices of both president and
vice president, upon the secretary of state,
or if that Office is vacant the secretary of
the treasury, the succession passing to other
members of the cabinet in turn in case Of
VACANCY.

The Senntc,s Program.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The presidents
message will not be sent to congress till
Tuesday. The senate is expected to ad-
iourn tomorrow, out of respect to the mem-
Ory of its late president, immediately after
the swearing in of the members and the
election of the president pro tempore. The
committees of the senate were all organized
at its special session last March, and under
the rules OF the body they continue through
out the congress unless changed by order of
the senate. 1t is probable that the reading
of the message will consume the greater
part of Tuesdays session, though 1t is pos
sibe an opportunity may be forwarded for
the introduction of bills. The presidential
succession and electoral count bills may be
reported from the committee. which will be
referred III time for action before the end
of the week, and a resolution embodying
the code OF joint rules, which the senate
adopted two years ago, may possibly be
also brought to the point of action, but
little or no other executive work is eX-
pected during the week or in fact be-
fore the holiday recess. The presi-
dental appointments made during the
summer recess are required by law to be
sent to the senate for confirmation within
thirty days of the aSSemblage OF congress
and the consideration of the senate nomi-
nations will probably consume the largest
part of the time of the senate during the
early weeks of its session. immediately
after the assemblage of the house of repre-
sentatives tomorrow the clerk of the last
house will call the roll and upon a quorum
of members answering to their names. the
work of organization will be proceeded with.
1t is probable that Immediately upon the
completion of its organization the house
will adjourn as a mark of respect to the
memory of Vice President Hendricks.

Too Much of a Good Thing.

Life: Eyes, sir; that was drought.
Flesh, fish and fowl were dying of thirst,
and there wasn't water enough in the whole
town to float a toothpick. Well, one day
we agreed to pray for rain. We scarcely
expected to get it, but thought there was no
harm in asking anyhow. About six hours
after service waterspout came along and
washed the town out of existence. You see,
we must have prayed too hard.
