DISASTROUS FLAMES.
A Five Story Furniture Factory
Burned in New York.
THREE.ouARTERs OF AMILuoN LOST
A Hundred Families Driven From Their
Homes by the Unendur-
able Heat.
LARGE LossEs--ANoTHER FATAL FIRE

New YORK, May 27.-The vast furniture
factory of 81. Herman Bros, at Mangin aud
Thompkins streets, was discovered to be on
FIRE this morning at $50 o'clock.
1t is FIVE story brick building and
occupies the whole block, fronting 200 feet
on Delaney and l50 feet on the other
streets. 1t was the old building occupied
by the Singer Sewing Machine factory and
and was saturated with oil. The whole
building is surrounded by miserable tene-
ment houses occupied by the poorest classes
in the city. The FIRE was intensely hot and
nearly hundred families were driven from
their homes. They rushed out in their
night clothes and were compelled to camp
on the river side, where they shivered 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 pro-
perty, and the fremen directed their efforts
to make the miserable people as comfort
able as possible. At 4:30 a. m. alarms
were sent out for extra engines, and it
looked as though the whole surrounding
neighborhood would be destroyed. At D
o'clock alarms were still being sent out for
extra engines. The reason the flames
spread so rapidly was on account Of the oil
in the floors. The factory was filled with
furniture, and it is estimated that the loss
will amount to shout S750,0O0. This is the
busy season of the year, and the loss will be
still heavier for the company by this rea'
son. Over three hundred men will be
thrown out OF work.
Streets Crowded With People.
The streets at $3.50 a. m. were crowded
with people, and the greatest excitement
prevailed in the neighborhood, as everybody
in the surrounding tenement houses was
moving furniture and seeking to escape
from the flames, which were spreading fast
in all directions. Superintendent Pinnon,
Of the factory, said it was impossible to say
where the fire originated, but it was be-
lieved it had started in the engine room.
At $50 o'clock this morning special calls
for extra engines we're being sent out, and
it was estimated the loss would amount to
$750,000.
The Fire Under Control.
Though the entire available force Of the
fire department was summoned, it was two
hours before the flames were fairly under
control. The factory-a FIVE story brick
bniiding-is q total loss. Mr.. Herman esti-
mates his loss at about S250,O00 which is
covered by insurance in large number Of
companies. The loss of the building he
estimates at 100000. This too, is covered
to large extent by insurance. Five hum
dred skilled workmen were employed in the
factory and lose all their tools, the aggre-
gate value Of which is about $4,000. Sur
rounding buildings we're damaged to the
extent of $4,000. The Singer Sewing
Machine Company owned the burned build

with them 200 stand of arms. Poundmaker
and five OF his chief men were made prison

to be the murderers of Payne and fremont.
The others were ordered to 60 back to their

do in their case.
Rumors are current here that Gabriel Du-

is thought they will break into small

Big Bear is said to be only
thirty miles from here and it is reported he
is coming in to surrender. Although the
uprising is virtually ended, the summer

Queer Names of Postofices Through
the Country.
POSTMASTER GENERALS NAMEsAkEs.
Latest Moves Among Washington Officials
and People in

APPOINTMENTS MADE YESTERDAY.
&pseial % tAe .RsdiHer.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Ths appointment
Of large numbers of postmasters in all parts
of the country at this time brings to the
surface some Of the very many queer names
that are scattered through the long list Of
Postofices of the country. There are .
good maay of them, too. There are over
fifty thousand postofiees in the country and
q good many with very queer names. There
are, as rule, twenty or thirty named after
each Postmaster General 1t has been q
custom in the Department to name post
Office in nearly every State and Territory
after each newly appointed Postmaster Gen.
ersl There was, as it will be remembered,
a great run" on the name Of Hatton. So
there were in the cases ofthe other heads Of
the Department, though it Is asserted that
the present Postmaster General will not be
in favor of this sort of fooishness with re-
gard to his own name.
There are, however, very large number
of queer names turning up constantly, in
the very large number of changes being
constantly made. Many of them, too, have
very interesting and curious history. 1t
is odd, for instance, to know that the post
Office "Hattof' was named for Postmaster
General Hatton. The people applied to
have their Office named Nation, but being
told that there was already one office of
that name in the State, they wrote back
saying well call it Hattof then" and it
was so called. 1t very often happens that
the name comes back quite different from
that which they asked. The citizens of
Stone county, Mo-, petitioned for an Office
to be called "Flstwood," but it came back
Glue Eye, Another in Louisiana called
for the name of Lima, but the department
returned the word "Halloe," and so it re-
mains Another community in Georgia,
after proposing several names, all Of which
were rejected, was christisned Enigma"
The minds of men run in different grooves,
for one man consulted for q like purpose,
replied, "csll it Corn Cob or Pig Tail, and
Corn Cob" it became. And so on ad
in6nitum.

Special 10 hs Register.
PAREERsBURG, May 27.-It is fact not
generally known that the trade arising from
the new oil field at Macksburg, Ohio, is an
extensive one, and what is of more import
ance, that trade with all the advantages
Herewith will be transferred to West Vir-
ginis, and our city is in a fair way to reap
the benefits to be derived theretrom.
The National Transit Company composed
of wealthy Pennsylvania oil operators, have
decided to put down a pipe hne, and will
transport the products of the Macksburg
field to Parkersburg, from which point it
will seek the markets of the world. This
will give an impetus to the oil business here,
the results of which will be manifest in all
branches of trade in our city EThe proper
storage and handling Of the oil here, will
afford employment to about 200 hands.
Work will begin on the pipe line as soon as
the necessary preliminsries can be arranged
The oil market is quiet here now in the way
of refining oils, but there is healthy de-
msnd for lubricating oils-so says prom
inent oil speculator.

had left all of her clothes save an old calico

belonging to her cousin.
The mother and q son at once went to the

had cut off her heavy blonde hair, and cut,

The Unknown Man Found Dead Upon the
Pan Handle Railroad Perhaps Killed
In n Drunken Revel.
Special 10 ae Re9ister.
STEUBESvILLE, May 27.-All efforts to
discover the identity of the man found dead
upon the Pan Handle railroad track have
been futile and the remains have been
buried by the township trustees.
Two witnesses were examined BY the Cor
oner as to the affair, and the testimony of
Richard Humble makes it probable that
the dead man was, as first supposed,
q tramp, and the cause Of his death
may have been the result of an accident
or foul play. Humble in his testi-,
mony said that on the night of the accident
he was on his way home about 10 o clock,
and when he reached the place where the
dead body was found met five tramps, who
were sitting short distance from the rail
road track drinking beer from keg which
they had there. At the time Humble pass.
ed the men we're getting pretty drunk and
making great deal of noise, and whether
the unfortunate young man became more
intoxicated than his companions and laid
down on the railroad track to sleep, or his
death was the result of a murder and his
body thrown on the track to cover up the
crime, is unknown.
The dead body was discovered about an
hour after Humble passed the men, but at
the time the discovery was made there was
no one near but Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart. An
east-bound freight had passed about thirty
minutes before the discovery was made, and
it is supposed the dead mans companions
jumped this train and went on through;
fthe victim had become so drunk as to
be helpless, it is not likely his companions
would have allowed him to lay down on the
track, and it looks very much as if he met
his death by foul play.

through the corridors. Mrs. De Witt rushed
TO third-story room, and there found Miss
Garfield lying on the floor, with smoking
pistol By her side. Medical aid was at once
summoned, and an examination revealed
the fact that Miss Garfield had shot herself
in the left breast, near the heart. The bulle;
lodged in such close proximity to the heart
that it was considered highly dangerous to
probe for it. She lay unconscious for sew
eral hours, and then she opened her eyes
The wound is believed to be fatal. AT a

Newcomb-Buchanan Failure.
CHICAGO, May 27.-A case Of little i'm.
portancs in itself, but which, if successful,
will probably be followed by cases involving
upwards of $3.50 O0O,was filed in the county
court yesterday. The suit is by Solomon
Geisman, liquor dealer, against VIM. Mida,
q whisky broker, TO recover the value Of
fifteen barrels of whisky, bought by Geisman
in 1882, and for which Mida gave him a
warehouse receipt. The receipt was for
goods stored by the Newcomb & Buchanan
Distilling Company in Louisville ware
house. The company failed before the re-
ceipt was presented. The owners and
Government store.keeper implicated with
them, fed to Canada to avoid prosecution.
1t afterward developed that they had issued
duplicate receipts for their goods, and 1t is
claimed that Geisman's receipt was one Of
these. The defense is that Mids acted in
good faith, and being merely an agent was
not responsible, and that the suit should be
against Newcomb 4 Buchanan. The case
viii doubtless 90 to the Supreme Courh as
1t is simply brought as test.
LArER-The jury has just returned YER
dict in favor OF Geisman for the amount
claimed by him.

New YORK, May Il Gen. b. S. San
ford, of Florida, who, with Minister KsS-
son, represented the United States at the
Congo Conference, has arrived from Europe.
He expresses himself as much gratiGsd with
the work of the Conference, and the part the
Government had in the creation of the Free
State Of the Congo. He predicted that the
result of the Conference would ultimately be
acknowledged as one of the greatest works
OF this century. He attributes the agreement
reached to the fact of the United States
having recognized the flag Of the Interus.
tional Congo Association. Previous to that
the association had but private character.
Mr.. Sanford describes the new State as
neutral territory. an African Belgium, in
fact, where American capital and enterprise
may secure a full share of commerce aud
manufacture. 1t is capable of relieving the
effects Of our over-production, having q
negro population of 50,000,00O or 60,000,-
