Twenty-Five Buildings Burned-A Heav


The town of Peshtigo was visited, on
the LIST inst, by terribly destructive
fire, which started in the rear of the
post-office, and eighteen or twenty
buildings in the center of the town
we're burned, the total loss being be-
tween $4,000 and 100000, and the
insurance between $35, 900 and $780,
600. Among the buildings destroyed
were: Odd Fellows Hall, valued at
$4,000; insurance, $500. Four
stores of w. A. Ellis, valued at Sc. 800;
insurance, $4,000. The Duket House,
loss $4,000; insurance, $4,000. R.O.

in the Odd Fellows block, $15,-

$500; DR.. Reeve, 1880; Masonic
lodge, $500; Newton Mong, 81, 800;
Gervaid & Archambault, meat mar
ket, 1000. Most of these were par
TALLY insured. The fire gained such
immediate Roadway that the poor fire
facilities were entirely inadequate to
stay the progress of the flames and ef-
forts were largely directed to saving
the contents of the buildings. Thefre
is a severe blow to the thriving town.

An Immense Ship.
From the New York Tribune. !

FROM the New I Ork tribune.
In the town Of Camden, Me-, the
largest ship, except one, ever built in
the United States is nearly completed.
She is 263 feet keel, 2S5 feet over all,
and As feet beam, with 2815 feet total
depth of hold, 81 feet of this being be-
tween decks. She has two full decks
and a set OF heavy orlop or spar
beams twelve feet from the floor
These dimensions Indicate that she
will measure over $500 tons net
register, the Great Republic coming
first, in point of size, being down in
the register for 1856 tons. Thelatter
ship was 800 feet tonnage length, 49
feet 4 inches beam, 20 feet 2 inches
hold, had three decks, and was
built by Donald Mckay in East
Boston, 1858. The Rockport craft
has a frame of Virginia white oak, with
planking and ceiling of Southern pine,
and is strongly fastened with iron and
copper, all the tree nails being of North
Carolina locust. This big ship will
carry for lower masts four sticks Of
Oregon pine which will trim up as fol-
lows: Main and fore masts 80 feet
long, 36 inches diameter, and jigger 88
feet long, % inches diameter. These
big sticks were towed down from Bos-
ton by tugboat and were hauled out
OF the water by a long string of oxen.
The mlzzen, main and foremasts will
be square rugged, thelower and topsail
yards being also of Oregon pine, while
the jigger-mast will be fore and aft
rugged. The maintop will be sixteen
feet across, and there will be room
enough up there for pretty nearly the
whole ships company. A good idea
of thevessel's size and of the spread of
sail she will carry may be adfrom the
fact that it is 185 feet deep from the
deck to the main truck, while her low
er yards are about 80 feet long. She
will carry one of Knowlton's patent
windlasses, and the capstans of the
same make-two on the forecastle deck
and one amidships. Her anchors will
be from Camden village, where one OF
over six thousand pounds has been
hammered out

She Sat Down on Him.
From the Whitehall Review

There is a pushing young painter
who likes to wear long hair, and who
is not an enthusiastic supporter of
Pears soap; and this young painter
has very profound belief in himself
and his own charms and his own gen.
JUS, and above all in his power Of
captivatingthe hearts of the fair. The
other evening our young painter found
himself at a friends house, next to a
very attractive young lady, whom he
promptly endeavored to impress as
much as possible. After telling her all
about himself and his pictures and his
talents, hefnally informed her that he
should never marry. "Why not?" in
quired his fair companion. eff 1 did
marry" the young painter replied, 81
should make SO many women unhap-
py." ST should have thought you
would only make one woman unhap-
Ply" was the young lady's prompt
comment, which reduced the long
haired egotist to silence. He does not
like that girl nc Y, and avoids her
when they meet.

AMIGO SCORCHED.
A Most Destructive Conf1agration Among
the Stocks of Lumber-A Close Call
for the AIills-The Loss Placed at
$500, 600.

An extensive lumber fire occurred at
Amigo, on the line Of the Milwaukee,
Lake Shore & Western road, on the
night OF the goth. The fire consumed
between 18,OOO,OOO and 2O,OOO,OOO
feet OF lumber, and was undoubtedly
the most destructive of it's kind that
ever occurred in this state. The work
OF destruction began shortly after 9
O'Clock, when a spark from a smoke
stack set fire to lumber piles, and In a
comparatively short time the whole
yard was in a blaze. AS the lumber
covered an area of thirty acres, the
volume Of flame was so great that the
country was illuminated by the glare
for miles around AS the lumber was
on both sides of the track of the Lake
Shore & Western road, about one
quarter of a mile of the track was
destroyed, together with the telegraph
poles and wires. The operator main
tanned connection with the general
offices, however, by cutting into
the wires south OF the burning
territory, and improvised q tele-
graph Office in a side-tracked freight
car. The burning of the track caused
q Vi UWC 11OuIS w UIIC SOOOh-
bound train, but large force Of men
was put to work as soon as the heat
would permit, and the trackw relaid
IN time for the other passenger trains.
Three freight cars were destroyed. The
loss will be about 100000, and is
distributed among the following lum-
ber-owners: j. III. Weed, 100000; S.
Bryant & Co., 100000; Sands & Co.,
$4,000: Paine Lumber Company,
$4,000; A. Weed, $4,000; Methudy
& Meyers, $4,000; H. Hewitt, ST.
900; H. Week, $4,000; II. Reid, OF
Dubuque, $4,000; McElwee, Billings &
Carney, $4,000, while the losses OF
other firms will aggregate about $780,
900. The saw and planning mills were
saved by great exertions. The pumps
in the mill did not work we'll, and as
there is no fire engine the work was
done by bucket brigades.

E. ST. JOHN.
Wen-Deserved Promotion of Railroad
Man.

Man.
GChicago telegram
President r. Il. Gable, of the Rock
Island Road, has issued the following
important notice:
"Mr. E. st. John is hereby appoint
ed assistant to the General Manager,
appointment to take effect July l. The
general ticket and passenger depart
ments will remain under the iurisdic-
ton of Mr.. st. John as formerly, and
all communications in connection with
those departments should be addressed
to him as General Ticket and Passen-
ger Agent"
The above announcement of Mr.. st.
Johns promotion will be read with
interest and pleasure by the many who
have become intimate with him during
a very long career. He has been asso-
ciated with the road so long that he is
always considered part of the system,
good, reliable, and ever on time. Mr..
st. John entered the railway service in
1862; was clerk in the general ticket
Office and depot ticket agent Of the
Quincy and Toledo Railroad at Quincy,
ILL.,, until its consolidation with the
Great Western Railroad, when he
assumed clerkship with that COM
pany in its general ticket department
at Springfield. ILL.,, remaining in its SER
vice until July 3, 1868; on July 4,
1868, and until November, 1864, he was
employed as clerk in the general ticket
Office of the Chicago and Rock Island
Railway. Nov. l, 1864, to Sept. /,
1869, he was Chief Clerk in charge of
the general ticket department; Sept. 1,
1869, he was appointed General Ticket
Agent, and Jan. l, 1879, he was ap-
pointed General Ticket and Passenger
Agent, which position he continues to
fill. On Saturday, July 4, Mr.. st.
John will celebrate the twenty-second
anniversary of his connection with the
Rock Island Road. Mr.. st. Johns
promotion is another illustration of the
well-known fact that the Rock Island
Road appreciates the merits of it's of,
fclals, and gives tangible evidence of
it's appreciation.

TEXAS LYNCHINGS.
Confirm alton of Wholesale Hangings by
VigiIanteS.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, June 29.-Yes-
terday the lynching of five horse
thieves was reported in addition to a
recent report that fifteen men had been
hanged in two weeks. Efforts to sub
stantiate the last mentioned report
resulted in positive proof of the hang
ing, a week ago, near Healdtown, OF
Frank Morgan, Bill Williams and
boy named Moor. Bill Williams,
farmer living near Mud Creek, was sus-
pected, and persons were detailed to
watch him. When it was learned that
Williams had unlawfully taken posses
sion OF another mans horse, thirty
two determined men visited his
house and arrested him. Williams babe
his family an affectionate farewell,
and told them that if he did not re-
turn in two days, they might know he
was dead. Williams was then led sew
eral miles into some thick bushes,
where the vigilantes were met by an
other party having in charge Frank
Morgan and the boy Moor. By a
unanimous vote the men decided to
hang Williams and Morgan. Some
eontended that by reason of Moor's
-outh, it would be best to turn him
Dose with a moderate punishment,
ut it was finally decided that as there
ere great probabilities of his becom-
~ a troublesome criminal, it was
etter that heshould die. Accordingly
/ three were. strung up on one limb.
ome Of the posse climbed upon the
NIB and pressed down with their feet
ION the shoulders of the criminals,
order that they Nigh die the quicker.
ter the men were dead, they were all
down and buried together. The

striking her husband to the ground
with it. She is a young, active, and
muscular woman, and the blow she
dealt Moore inflicted a deep cash in
the temple, from which he died in an
hour. As soon as the wife realized
what she had done, she hurried to the
side of her bleeding husband and
begged him piteously to forgive her;
that she had slain him in moment
of great excitement, and would give
all the world to recall the hasty act.

All the Factories in the Pittsburg Dis

PITTsBURG, Pa, July AL the win
dow glass factories in the district have
closed down for the summer vacation,
that is, until September /. The sea-
son has been an extremely unprofta-
BILE one for the manufacturers, the pro-
duction having been largely in excess
of the demand, thus causing a depres-
sion of prices and a further addition
to the large stocks already on hand.
Unless business should show an unex-
pected Improvement during the sum-
mer, it is probable that many of the
factories will not resume work even on
the date fixed for their doing so.

Because the night is cool it does not
opvlate the necessity Of cooling the
