EXTENSIVE FIRE.
One Hundred Poor Families Turned Out
in the Night.

NEW YORK, May %.
The vast furniture factory of II. Herman
Bros, on Margin and Tompkins streets, was
discovered on fire at $50 o'clock this morn
ing. 1t was five story brick building sur
rounded by tenement houses of the poorest
classes in the city. The fire was intensely
hot and nearly one hundred families were
driven from their homes. They rushed out
in their night clothes and were compelled to
camp on the river. Ar 4 o'clock the whole
building was in flames and there was no hope
of saving any of the property and the firemen
directed their efforts to make the miserable
people as comfortable as possible. 1t is esti-
mated that the loss amounts to 1850, 900.
The fire was so hot that several times water
had to be turned on to prevent them from
being scOrched by the flames.
1t was not until 5.45 that the fire was de.
clared under control, and then there was lit.
tie lett to burn in the building, except what
remained of the brick walls and the debris OF
material that was contained therein. The en-.
gines kept at work nearly all day, however
playing on the ruins. Mr.. Herman estimates
the loss at about $3.50, 900, which is covered
by insurance in large number of companies
The loss on the building, which is owned by
the tSiDger Sewing Machine Company, will
be $50. 900; insured. Skilled workmen were
employed and lose all their tools. the aggre.
gate value of which is about $40, 900. and or
these are only small sums of insurance The
damage to adjoining property will aggregate
$25, 900.

MIDDLETON'S MOVEMENTS.
He Has Number OF important Prison.

OTTAWA, Nav 27.
In the House of Commons this afternoon,
the minister of militia read the following
telegram from Gen. Middleton, dated at Bat
tleford: 81 have made prisoners Of Pound
maker, Leanman, Yellow Mud and Blanket
Breaking Through -The-Ice, being the most
influential and dangerous men about him.
have also White Bear, who Indian Instructor
Payne. and Wahwainita, who killed Free
mont. rancher. My next task may be Big
Bear. Poundmaker brought in the teams
taken and gave up 2l0 stand arms and five
revolvers. l have ordered them to give up
the horses and cattle: and am sending part of
the police to see that they are all given up.
The goth has just arrived by steamer, and is
IN camp. The rest are coming by land. If
obliged to move on the Indians, propose to
organize force of mounted infantry, made
up of mounted police, Belton's scouts and
mounted artillery men, in all about 800 men,
and with light carts and as little baggage and
supplies as possible. so as to scour the whole
country and strike rapidly. I expect Big
Bear will soon give up. If he does shall
treat him as have Poundmaker. If he does
not, shall attack him Immediately"
(Signed) FRED MIDDLETON.
BATrLEFoRD. May 27.
Gen. Middleton held big powpow with
Poundmaker after the surrender, which last
ed three hours. Poundmaker blamed Riel
for melting the Indians to rise, and says he
came to the General to kill him so as to save
his people. Several chiefs followed, all
blaming Riel for misleading them.
A scene occurred during the powpow.
When Gen. Middleton asked who killed
Barney fremont and Payne, one brave rose
from the circle, kneeled at Gen. Middleton's
feet, and said that the great chief could cut
him to pieces as he had killed Payne. He
further said that he did not want all punished
for his offense. He said he killed Payne in
self defense. His grandson, Wawonice, con-
fessed to numbering in cold blood, Barney
fremont, who was greasing wagon. The
murderers were then taken into custody.
The remainder of Poundmaker's
party are expected in tomorrow. They
evidently brought the least valuable of their
arms today, and the young braves are believ-
ed to have all the best rifles. 1t is thought
they will break up into small parties and es.
cape to the United States. Big Bear is said
to be only 80 miles from here; it is reported
he is coming to surrender.

Tweaty.Eight Persons Go Down in the
Ruins-A Few Deaths and Many Mirac.
uious Escapes.


JERSEY CIrY, May %.
Shortly before o'clock this morning. the
story frame tenement house No rs, Colgate
street, fell with crash. Five families were
IN the building and more than one half of
them had not risen from their beds. The
nrst floor was occupied by the owner of the
building, James Anderson, his wife and FIVE
children. On the second floor were Mary
webb and her two children; her husband was
absent at the time. A portion of this floor
was also occupied by John Coyne. his wife
and seven children. On the top floor resid-
ed John Collins, his wife and five children,
and Hugh McGurty and his wife; in all as
persons. The scene that followed the COL
lapse was distressing. Shouts for help from
men, and the shrieks of women and children,
some of whom were only partially buried in
the ruins, alarmed the neighborhood. The
fire department was called out and the work
OF rescue commenced. The residents on the
top story were of the most fortunate, as they
tumoled out partly on top of the broken tim
bers. Some were pinned down by the arms
or legs until released BY the Hremen Those
on the middle floor Jared badly, one being
killed outright, while the heaviest disaster
befell the Anderson family on the lower
1oor. Anderson is baker and is EMPLOYED
At the County Aims House, at Shake Hill,
where he is employed at night. He was on
his way home when the terrible news was
conveyed to him, that of his children were
killed. Before he could reach the place their
bodies had been taken away to the Jersey
Avenue Morgue. The meeting between him
and his wife caused even strong men to shed
tears.
The killed are Michael Webb. aged IL /;
Bernard Anderson, aged 10; Ellie Anderson
z. nd
better type of man trap could not be
found in any locality. The fremen were
astounded as they began to pull the half de-
cayed, slender supports of the ioor from the
debris, and the only wonder was how the
building could have so long sustained the
weight OF so many persons. 1t certainly
would have succumbed to one of the winter
storms had it not been sheltered on every
side by buildings.

Wednesday.
New YoRk. Nav 27.

NEW YoRK, May 27.
Gen. Grant did not sleep more than three
or four hours, last night, but the sleepless-
ness was owing to his having had so much
sleep Sunday and Monday nights. He was
not kept awake bv pain.
After seeing Gen. Grant this afternoon
Drs. Douglas and Shardy attributed his
sleeplessness, Tuesday night, to the fact that
the General had that day applied himself
longer and more zealously than usual to his
literary work. There was, however, no ap-
parent evil of the result today ard his con-
jitions were practicly the same as on Sunday
last. Both physicians united in saying the
General was passing an almost painless day.
At4P. NJ. the General went for a drive and
later he walked from his house to Madison
Avenue and back.

DAMARIscoTTA, Me. May 27.
Dani. keene, for the past seven years
Chairman Of selectmen and agent for the
town OF Bremen. postmaster and trader. has
disappeared, and 10 said to be defaulter to
the town for the amount of from $4,000 to
5000, besides owing various parties in the
vicinity nearly as much more. He always
stood high in the community as his repeated
reelection to the board Of selectmen attests.
Some or years ago, however, q few citi-
zens began to suspect crookedness from the
fact that twithstanding the increased taxa
ton, with no increase in the expenses, the
town debt steadily grew. This finally cul.
minated March last, at the annual
meeting, when the committed consisting of
Z. s. Herkins and Samuel Lermond were
chosen to investigate the town accounts of
1875, to date, but at the same time so great
was the confidence in Keene that he was re-
elected selectman, though second. This po-
sition, as well as postmaster, he has since
resigned. At the May term of court he filed
petition of insolvency. His methods of
raising money were unique. One was to is
sue two town orders bearing the same date
and amount, when but one should have been,
recording only one, collecting or selling the
other and pocketing the proceeds. Another
method was taking up the interest bearing
orders with new orders for larger amounts,
representing to the holder that the town
was in need of more funds. The differ.
ence, however, he took and recorded the
order, if at all, the same amount as originally.
third was to draw money from the treasury
on his receipt as town agent, take up orders
and at the close of the year in settlement
with the town take credit for the amount, but
retain the orders. During the following year
he would present these orders to the treas
urer and secure the cash. He also issued
orders bearing simply his name and one of
$500 has turned up with the name of the
second selectman forged. About two weeks
ago, before the magnitude of the defalcation
appeared, he was arrested by the town auth
critics, BROUGHT before a justice and put un-
der $1,000 bonds for his appearance at the
October court. He procured bail but since
then he has disappeared. His family remain
in Bremen.

A Party of Filibssters OPERATING Extea.

Sugar Producing Region-TAeir Prob

HAVANA, via.
Kew West, Nav 25,

=
The unexpected landing of filibustering
expedition on the Island of Cuba on the 10th
inst has excited the entire population, al
though the facts were either unknown or sup
pressed until today. The expedition was
commanded by Limbana Sanchez. q colored
man, Who, during the former insurrection,
wen reputation rs an able and brave leader
The expedition is supposed to have been or
ganized at San Domingo, from whence the
filibusters sailed, landing at Punta Caletas,
on the south side of the province Santiago de
Cuba. in the very heart Of the sugar produc.
ing district of Guaysntsusmos. Limbana
Sanchez, following the methods Of his pre-.
decessors. has commenced an indiscriminate
use of the torch as his most powerful weapon,
and destruction follows in the wake of his
marches. Several battalions of government
troops Immediately started in pursuit and
overlook the fiibusters. In the first engage
ment they routed and dispersed the invaders,
killing one man. Among the articles cap
tured we're several packages of printed PROF.
lamations, signed by Sanchez and Varona,
urging the inhabitants to join the invaders in
expelling the Spaniards from Cuba. The
expedition is said to number only IA, although
at first the tlibusters were supposed TO be
more numerous, as it was asserted in the
fret excitement, and generally believed, that
| several hundred men had landed from two
large three-masted American schooners which
had been seen lowering in the vicinity. The
governor generals first measure was to issue
proclamation declaring the entire province
of Santiago de Cuba in state of siege. 1t is
said that Limbana Sanchez and his follow
ers, instead Of advocating Cubs's independ-
ence, proclaimed annexation to the United
States.
All the papers at Havana this morning de-
vote considerable space to the details of the
expedition. They all have editorials on it,
and say it is sorrowful to see handful of
courageous men risk their lives in rash en-
terprise of this character in which they must
meet the fate of Auguero, Bonacha and so
many Others. One paper says that Limbsna
Sanchez viii receive no more assistance in
the field than his predecessor, and must nee,
essariiy succumb. The country is completely
ruined and tired of adventurers. As peace is
the chief desire of those threatened by hun
ger, they will treat as enemies all who dis
turb the public Tranquility
Telegrams have been sent by the conserv-
ative leaders at Havana to the minister and
his deputies at Madrid, asking an immediate
settlement of the Cuban debt and a reduction
of the budget to $l3, 100000.
