NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The Star will
print tomorrow from its Washington cor
respondent the following important infor-
nation: There are intimations coming
from what is considered an authoritative
source late tonight which indicate that inn
portant changes in the cabinet are contem-
plated. 1t is expected that MI. Manning
will resign because of his health, which
has beeu and is not now so good as the
public have been led to believe. In the
preparation of his report it became neees-
sary for him to rely greatly on the assist
ance of Mr.. Manton Marble, MIR. Sidney
Webster, and of course upon Assistant Sec
rotary Fairchild. AS disagreeable as the
intelligence must prove to the public,
it is likely they will soon lose the able and
valuable services of the present secretary
of the treasury. 1t is believed. too. that
Mr.. Garland is tired, after so long and so
continual public service. and that he will
retire to seek much-needed rest. and be-
come candidate for the senate from Ar
kansas two years hence. There is also one
more possible retirement, though the infOr-
nation | get in regard to it is not suffi-
GENTLY definite to justify publication. All
this comes to me from a source which does
not impose the obligation of secrecy, and
cannot be said to be authoritative, but there
Is much reason to believe in its truth.

pany's extensive establishment, occupying
the stores numbering from Ala to 422 North
Main street, fell with a great crash. This
floor was covered with heavy agricultural
machinery. and in it's fall carried down the
third floor. stocked with shelf goods and the
second floor, filled with sample goods. In a
moment or two the debris caught fire, pre-
Sumably from the overturned stoves, or
possibly from the furnace in the basement.
and with startling rapidity the flames shot
up through the broken timbers to the roof.
There were fire walls between the different
store rooms, but all had openings i'll them.
through which the fire madly rushed, and
in very short time the entire building was
a mass Of tiercely burning flames, and every
window and door was belching forth great
CLOUDS OF HEAVY BLACK SMOKE.
Shortly after this the roof over No. 422,
and the north wall on Vine street fell
Then a part of the front of the Main street
wall t0ppled down. the interior floors of
the whole building following in rapid sue
ceSsion, and by p. III. nothing was left
but broken walls and great mass of burnt
and ruined goods and twisted and destroyed
machinery. The fire was confined to the
Shapleigh building, and the surrounding
property, which was, before the walls and
roof fell, in imminent danger. was but
slightly damaged. At the time Of the
crash some fifty employs were scattered
through the building, but so far as can now
be learned all but two of them are ac-
counted for, and it is thought these two
will turn up later. Several of the men
received slight injuries in the way of
bruises and cuts, but of those
who have reported none are seriously hurt.
The firm dealt largely in sporting guns.
pistols and small ammunition, and during
the fire there was very active fusilade by
exploding cartridges. which created some
alarm in the crowd present, but nobody is
known to have been hurt by stray bullets.
The report that dynamite cartridges had
been exploded seems to be unfounded. The
house carried heavy stock, valued at about
$500, 900. What part of this, if any, can
be saved is not known but the probabilities
are that it is all ruined. The insurance
amounts to $780, 600 and is divided among
100 companies, chiefly Eastern and foreign,
in sums ranging from So. 500 to $1,000.
