she walked over to attend to some of the less
important guests, for she knew what
was coming. At that juncture Garfield
invited Conkling and Grant to step up
stairs into his sanctum ostensibly to take
a smoke. DR.. Robinson and Mrs. Garfield were
preoccupied and anxious from the moment the
celebrated trio ascended the stairs. No one
attempted to follow them Perhaps no one will
ever know what traDspired, but it is known that
peace at least during the campaign was declared,
and that Grant was largely responsible for it. 1t
is believed that he won from Conkling promise
to support Garfield. The meeting brief.
Their cigars we're not half burned when they
descended the stairs.
The anxious look had flown from Garfeld's
face and his wife's preoccupied manner gave
way when she read the story in her husbands
features. Grant remarked that he would go out
on the piazza to finish his cigar, but Garfield
pleasantly exclaimed. "Smoke in the house.
General Smoke anywhere"
a terrific storm came up suddenly as the guests
were about to leave Lawntied and all, except
General Grant and score of rural sightseerS
hurried indoors. The General remained on the
piazza watching the storm. AS he stood, with
his cigar between his teeth the mild men that
he had worn III society departed under the fierce
Inspiration of the battling elements and hel looked
a typical warrior.
That the treaty of peace between Garfield and
Conkllng was sincere, was proved on the follow
ing evening when Senator CoEKlng smoke in the

Garfield so eloQuently that the immense crowd
of hearers fairly shook the roof tnbers with

PITTsBURG, Aug. 3-The annual convention
of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel-workers will meet in Wheeling, W. Va,
tomorrow, and probably continue in session till
Saturday. President Weihe and the
Pittsburg delegates left for Wheeling
this evening. Before leaving Mr.. Weihe
stated he would positively refuse to be candi

mentioned for the position are ex-President
John Jarrett aud Joseph Bishop, James Fl. Mutt
of Youngstown. O, ldrew Lee. of Phiadel-
phia; Samuel Carpenter, of Springfield, H., and
John Morgan, of this city. A number Of important
questions will come UP for consideration, one of
special interest beng the action of the nail
feeders in asking that they be admitted to mem
bership in the association. When the question
of the mills signing the scale governing the
wages Of all amalgamated members re-
suited in shut down of the mills
last June, and rumors of discomfort were heard
at the time, it was stated that there was lack
of harmonious feeling III the ranks of the
Amaleamated Association. 1t was claimed
that wages were not distributed justly
on the scale for different grades Of
employment. It is further rumored that
members Of the association had decided that
they would stand together for the scale as pre-
sented last June, but that some OF them would
demand more equal rights with their fellows
when the annual convention called, which
meets at Wheeling tomorrow The outcome
will be watched with interest

THE FIRE RECORD.
A Million Dollars Worth of Property De-

A Million Dollars Worth of Property De-
stroyed by the Toronto Fire.
TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 3.-The fire last night
was the most destructive that ever occurred in
this city. An hour after it broke out in the
eight story glucose factory the flames extended
for half a mile along the south side of the
planade. Scores of vessels of all kinds were
moored at the docks, and all were destroyed
Henry Wort, private watchnan, is known to
have perished in the flames The most exciting
scenes were on the crafts at the docks. The
crews were cut off by the fire from the docks,
and as the vessels caught FIRE they were forced
to jump into the water and swim for their lives.
SarvsSily did the fire spread that small boats
were consumed before they could be launched,
and the sailors III the water had to depend upon
their own strength until tugs from the outside
could pick them up. AS it was, many of them
we've badly scorched, and it is feared some
fatally. The exact loss or insurance cannot yet
be given, but the loss is estimated at over
100000 The glucose works were valued at
over $25O,O00. The schooner Annie Murray,
valued at $4,000 was burned to the waters
edge Among other buildings burned were
number of boat houses Abbotson's lumber yard,

Cutting Forty Acres of Timber Presented

Washington Letter.
Nathaniel Paige, formerly of Chicago, now
one of the most successful practitioners on inter-
national cases in Washington, was for time the
partner of Judge Louis Dent, the deceased
brother in law Of General Grant Mr.. Paige
once told the following story of the early life of
General Grant. Judge Dent at that time owned
what was known as the Stanislaus ranch, and
Grant, not then a General had come to him in
straitened circumstances for help in gaining
livelihood General Grant had then three chill
ren--the boys Ulysses, Fred ard Jesse. This is
Mr.. Page's story:
II remember Dent telling me-" said Paige,
about the return of Grant to old Mr.. Dents
homestead near st. Louis. Mr.. Dent had given
each Of his children some money, and they had all
been married and had gone to different parts of
the United States TO establish themselves. After
a certain number Of years they all came back to
the homestead with their wives and children. and
among the last to come was Grant, with his
good big family There did not seem 10 be any
opening for Grant, and Mr.. Dent said to him:
Ulysses, | will give you forty acres of ground
out yonder on the slope if you will cut the wood
off OF it, Grant was a tremendously steady
worker and ne took his AK and erected himse1 a
cabin on that piece of ground, IN which MS VIE

whole timber off Judge Dent told me that he
used to sit on the fence and see Grant notching
the big trees and bringing them down one after
another He said to Grant one day, as Grant
was stopping to chatter with his children: In
do with these childrenP We'll, said Grant with
perfect soberness Ulysses am going to send TO
Harvard; Fred will Put in the army. and
dent know yet what shall do with jesse Dent
repressed a smile. There was the poor man out
of military life and out of money, clearing
piece of ground TO be able to own it, and dietat-
ing professions for his children"
Now remarked Mr.. Page. every one of
these children has taken the position Grant indi-
Gated for him"
The relations between Judge Dent and Gen.
Grant were very friendly, and the latter was
always ready to help him after he became Presi-
dent when he could in any proper way. Hunt
lngton, the old cashier of the National Bank
here who had great deal Of curious experience,
used to tell this story:
Judge Dent once went to General Grant and
said:

place Portions of her upper works were whirled
fully four hundred feet into the air.
A tremendous roar preceded it. The moving
fury resembled dense mass of rolling black
smoke, and it travelled within ten feet of the
surface of the water in the river. singular
phenomenon was witnessed, not only
by myself but by others. This was
huge bali of fire, fully ten feet
in diameter, which swiftly accompanied the
storm cloud. After playing sad havoc with my
establishment saw this ball Of fire explode,
about $50 yards north of me, with report so
terrific as to shake the very foundations of
the buildings in my yards. Following
this came number Of explosions,
but of less force. All the sky
to the eastward was unusually bright, and had a
sort of rainbow appearance. In fact, this was
one Of the most remarkable sights of the kind
that I had ever seen. The ball of fire which was
exploded, I am satisfied, played the mischief at
the American Dredging Company's place.

city, was completely wrecked and scattered in

others were hurled to the ground with the fall

seeing the awful sight fed in terror, by the
hundreds, to their cellars. The cyclone lasted
between four and five minutes, and was
marked by terrific puffs and roars l.
is a singular fact that fiat rooted
houses suffered the most, the
wind with tue utmost ease catching them under
the oornice and lifting them as though they were
sheets Of paper. There was hardly an instance
where mansard rooted building was
wrecked So great was the violence of
the wind, that the front and sides
of houses, were smashed as though they were
egg shells. Roofs were carried hundreds of
yards away shade-trees moved down like
platoons of soldiery on battle-feds.
Great monster trees that had stood

or broken off like pipe stems. Buildings, which
it would seem that any ordinary storm would de-
molish, and which were in the direct path of
the storm, were spared, while their neigh
bors, modern structures of brick, would be gut
ted or wrecked outright
