The Work of the Associated Press.

w washington Letter.
Coming to New York from Washington rode
in company with Mr. Thomas r. Taltaval, one
of the attaches of the Associated Press at New
York. He tells me that the number of
words sent out by the Associated Press numbers
many millions each year, and that on the aver
age about 35, 900 pass between New York and
Washington daily. The Associated Press sends
its news to 72O daily newspapers in this country
and it has agents in all parts of the world 1t
gets most of its foreign news in conjunction
with some of the London press associations, and
it sends news abroad as we'll as TO home papers
TYPE writer's are now used in many of the AS
ISOLATED Press offices" says Mr. Taltaval, ''for
the receiving Of press dispatches, and the news
in New York is taken altogether in this way. The
receiver sits at his typewriter beside the instru-
ment, and as the words come clicking into his
ears he prints them by tapping the keys Tele-
graphers can receive by type-writers faster than
by writing with thes pen, and a speed of sixty
words minute is possible" This is as fast as
any man can telegraph. At one of the instru-
ments in the Associated Press Office in New
York, I think at the Washington one two re-
ceivers are employed. Each takes the words as
fas as they come. and by the use of manifold
paper sixteen copies are furnished by each.

his mother and sister were the owners of the
Bloomington Gas Company, which leased it's

manner; Also that the company is insolvent,
there being $4,000 in judgments against them
aside from the rent unpaid; also, that, whereas,
the capital stock is $3.50 OOO less than 500, 900

one of the first American poets was baptized as
Thomas Paine. but he did not like to bear the
same name as the great infdal, and he changed
the first part of it. General Beauregard's real
name is Pierce G.. Toutan. and the name by
which he goes is of his own adoption. Beaure-
CARDS ancestors came from Canada. and his
grandfather. old Pierre Toutan, emigrated at an
early date to New Orleans, where he made
large fortune in very short time, and where he
acquired great political influence. He bought
large estate outside of the city and called it
sBeauregard," meaning fine sight. General
Beauregard was named after this ancestor, and
when, through him, he was admitted to West
Point it was under the name of Pierre Ct.
Toutan. After a time, being of an aristocratic
tendency, he changed his name to Pierre Toutan
de Beauregard, which he after time dropped
into p Il. Beauregard. The fact that General
Beauregard has no real right to his name will be
q surprise to many.

Correspondence Of the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, March 1.-The Democrats of this
tMadson) county held their primaries on last
Saturday for the purpose of nominating county
ticket, and as usual in strong Democratic local
tiles, scenes of violence and bloodshed character
lied the occasion. An interesting feature of the
fight was the struggle for the legislative nomina
ton between Doctor Edwins and Mr. Frank
Foster, the former an ardent supporter of Gov.
Gray for United States Senator, and the latter
an equally ardent admirer of Mcdonald.
Governor Gray was confident of carrying things
with rush. as his friends were active and uu-
scrupulous, but these Irish have long memories,
and Gray's former Know-nothing record was
worked with terrible effect against him. Any
thing to beat Gray the slogan, and Melon
AIDS friends were not slow to fan the flame.
Doc. Edwins represented this county in the last
LEGISLATURE and made really creditable record.
He is man of intelligence and large experience.
while his opponent is mere fedgling untried
and inexperienced, but the Irish voters, who are
power here, were determined to give the Gov
errors senatorial aspirations black eye, and
they have done so effectuallv.

refurnshed in elegant style. The membership
is large, numbering about three hundred and
twenty-five, and the church is entirely free from

THE FIRE RECORD.
The Fire ON the Monarch Line Dock Causes a
Loss of 100000.

The Fire the Monarch Line Dock Causes a
Loss of 100000.
NEW YORK, March 3.-When the flames on the
Monarch line dock were discovered, at o'clock
this morning all the iremen in Jersey City and
Hoboken we're summoned to the scene It soon
became evident that they could not handle the
fire, 80 assistance was asked for from this city.
The large iron steamer Egyptian Monarch was
on fire before the tugs could get her away from
the burning dock. The flames burned so fu-
riously that the fremen had no chance of subdu-
ing them. The heat too, was SO intense that the
workers could get nowhere near her, and after
her masts and spars were consumed, the flames
made their way into the cabins first, then to her
hold, where it caught what was there of her car
go, and in short time she was raging furnace
of flame that heated her sides to a white heat
and made her hull at the water lines throw off
clouds of steam caused by the heat within.
There will be a loss on the ship of about $780,,
900, and later estimates place the loss on freight,
which is total, at about $3.50, 900. The superin-
tendent of the Monarch line docks said that just
before the fire started an explosion was heard,
and it was his opinion that the shock was among
the freight that had been discharged from the
Egyptian Monarch. 1t is supposed to have been
by dynamite or an Internal machine which the
superintendent says was possibly placed among
the freight while the steamer was lying at her
dock in London, previous to sailing for this coun
try. The Lydian Monarch also took fire. but
was hauled out into the stream before much
damage was done. The milk depot of the Erie
road was also destroyed, entailing loss of about
$50, 900 upon that company. The Monarch-line
docks were entirely consumed.
The damage to the Egyptian Monarch is now
found to be not as great as was at first supposed.
The agents of the Monarch line now place the
damage to that vessel at $4,000 and to her cargo
at $4,000. This will reduce the total loss by the
fire to about $500, 900.
The agents of the Monarch line make the fol-
lowing statement "The outward cargo of the
Egyptian Monarch was not injured by the fire.
and she will sail tomorrow. Her inward cargo
that remained on the dock was totally destroyed.
The Lydian Monarch's cargo was uninjured. The
outward business of the line is being transacted
as usual
