A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The Furniture Factory % Hermann Bros,
New York, Destroyed by Fire-Loss
Estimated at n Billion and
Half.

Erw York, May 27,-The vast furniture
factory OF n. Herman Brothers. ct Margin
and Toupkins streets, was discovered to be
on Ere at $50 O'Clock this morning. It Is q
fve-story brick building and occupies the
whole block, fronting 200 feet on Delaney
and $50 feet on the other streets. It was the
old building occupied by the Singer Sewing
Machine Factory and was saturated with oil.
The whole building is surrounded By misera-
BILE tenement houses occupied by the poorest
classes ia the city. The fire was intensely
hot and nearly o 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 property and the fiFemen directed
their efforts 10 make the miserable people as
comfortable IS possible. At 4:30 alarms
were sent out for extra engines and it
looked 90 though the whole surrounding
neiehborhood would be destroyed. At 5
O'Clock alarms were still being sent out for
extra engines. The reason the flames spread
SO rapidly was on account of the oil on the
floors.
The factory was filed with furniture and
lit Is estimated that the 11Ss will amount 20
more tran 81 coo, 600. This Is the busy sea-
son Of the year and the loss will be still
heavier for the company by this reason.
Over three hundred men will DC thrown out
Of work.
The streets at $50 were crowded with pso-
pie and the greatest excitement prevailed in
the reigh borhocd as every body IN the Rar-
rounding tenement houses was moving fur
niture and seeking 10 escape from tne
flames, which were spreading last IN all d.
Iections.
Superintendent Pinron, of the factory,
ssid IT was impossible to say where the fire
originated, but it was believed that 1t had
started in the engine room.
At $50 this morning special calls for extra
engines were being sent out. and it was then
estimated that the loss would amount to

hours before the flames were fairly under
control. The factory, i've story brick
building, Is total loss. Mr.. Herr mann esti-
mates his loss at about $3.50 900, which Is
covered by insurance in a large number OF
companies. The loss on the blilding he
estimates st 100000. This, too is covered
to large extent by insurance. Five hua-
dred skilled workmen were employed in tas

gate value Of which is ab.ut $4,000. Slr.
rounding buildings were damaged to the
extent OF $50, 900. The Singer Saving

Later advices place the damage by the
furniture fire at the following figures: ock

$22 900; workmen's tools. $4,000; total

GENERAL LOGAN.

There Is general surprise in the Eastern
States that the Legislature OF Illinois mas hot
vet returned General Logan to the senate
Formerly he was far better known at the west
than at the East, and many in this section were
prone to attribute his popularity to his military
services and record exclusively. But his
able addresses during the last campaign
commended him strongly to people OF the
Eastern States, who thus came 10 Kno" hi"'
better, and to appreciate him more hlGhiy thah
they had done before. Remembering his course
during the war, his personal popularity WIN
veteran soldiers, his experience ana service Ill
the Senate, and for the first time fairly appre-
ciatng his political ability and his clearness ana
soundness of convictions, Eastern people nave
presumed that there would be no doubt OF his
success in a Legislature where parties are
eouallv divided, and where the qualifications
and merits of General Logan are well known.
Nevertheless, the State of Illinois still remains
in mart unrepresented in the Senate, and the
contest continues in the Legislature at great
cost to the people, and with no benefit TO any
body. 1t must be realized that it is most I'M
pOrtant to the State to have the contest ter
minated without further delay, nor are good
reasons seen in this part of the country Tor
seeking the election of any other man In prefer
ence to General Logan. 1t happens that the
Democrats have been unable to present as a
candidate any one less Objectionable to the
working people than Mr.. Morrison the acthor
and champion of the anti-protectIve .tariii Dill
over which the last House fought SO long.
Some of the Democratic members have refused
to support him because of his uncomprOmislng
hostility to protection, and there are others VINO
realize that the election of such candidate
would cost the party the support OF many
thousand voters. Considered with reference
to the public interest, it would place IN the
Senate a jealous and dangerous opponent I"
the protective system, while the election OF
General Logan would give to the industries OF
the country another faithful defender In that
body.
