The vast furniture factory of Herman
Bros, at Magin and Thompkins streets, New
York, was discovered on fire on the 2Ith. 1t
was five story brick building, occupied by
the Singer sewing machine factory, and was
saturated with oil. I he whole building was
surrounded with miserable tenement houses
occupied by the poorest classes in the city.
The fire is intensely hot and nearly one hun
dred families were driven from their homes
in the chilly winds of the morning. AT
O'Clock the whole building was in flames and
there was no hope Of saving any of the p OPP
erty. AT 80 the alarm for extra engines was
turned in, and it looked if the whole sur
rounding neighbOrhOOd would be destroyed.
At o'clock the alarms for extra engines
were still being sent in. The factory was filled
with furniture, and the loss is estimated to be
$1,0O0,0J0, Over three hundred men will be
thrown out OF work At $3.50 O'Clock the
streets were crowded with people, and the
greatest excitement prevailed as all in the
tenements were moving furniture and seeking
to save it from the flames, which were spread
ing in all directions. 1t was two hours before
the fiam's were fairly under control. l he
factory Is a total loss. Herman estimates his
loss at $2500U, which WAS covered by insu-
rance. The loss on the building he estimates
at S360, 900, covered to large extent by insu-
rance. Five hundred skilled workmen were
employed in the factory, and the loss of all
their tools aggregate In value about $50 900.
The surrounding buildings were damaged to
the extent of $4,000. The Singer Sewing Ma
chine company owned the burned building.

Appointed Indian Agent

Rev. Jos. Emery, of this place has lately
been appointed to the agency of the klamath
Indian Reservation. The appointment was
made at the instigation of Mr.. Nickerson,
the present agent, who has rendered his
resignation on account of falling health.
Mr.. Nickerson will continue to act as agent
until October, when MIR. Emery will take
charge and continue in the good work
which his predecessor leaves for better
climate. The appointment of Mr.. Emery
meets with universal satisfaction, but is a
sad blow to his many admirers in the State
Agricultural College. his connection with
the college for the past eighteen years as
one of the principal educators has endeared
him to host of friends who will regret to
see him sever his connection with the same,
but are confident he will fill his new posi-
tion efficiently.
