BRIEF TEL.EGRAMs.

The great Hotel Brighton, at COney Isl
and, o structure 460x2O0 feet and weigh
ing 5000 tons, was moved back from the
beach yesterday 100 feet, and will be
taken 200 feet further. The building rests
on 100 fat cars, running on "a tracks, and
is drawn by six heavy locomotives. The
great building moved without q crack or
jar. The removal was necessitated by the
encroaehment of the sea, and is considered
rather remarkable feat Of engineering.
F. A Macy & Co., manufacturers of um-
brellas, New York city, have failed.
Their failure is attributed to oyerstocking
and delays consequent on removal. They
were unable to get rid of the stock and
meet maturing bills. The liabilities are
from Sl25, 900 to $l5O, 900, and assets sl10,
900.
In the city elections of Chicago the Re
publicans make a gain.
Mongredien, celebrated English writer
on free trade, Is dead.
Speaker Carlisle has purchased dwell
ing house in Washington, formerly owned
by the Swedish Minister, for SIS. 900.
The President has vetoed the bill for the
relief Of Nathaniel McKsy and the heirs of
Donald Mckay.
The Supreme Court Of the United States
has denied the application for q rehesring
Of the driven well' cases. This is the eco
ond application that has been made for &
rehearing in these cases.

The Correct Time.

There are very few men who do not
pride themselves on always having the
correct time; and wonderful and delicate
mechanisms are devised to enable them to
do so. But the more delicate q chrome
meter is made, the more subject it be-
comes to arrangement, and unless il be
kept always perfectly clean, it soon loses
its usefulness. What wonder, then, that
the human machine-so much more deli
cate and Intricate thsn any work of Man
should require to be kept thoroughly
cleansed. The liver is the handspring Of
this complex structure, and on the impuri-
ties left in the blood by disordered liver,
depend most of the ills that flesh is heir
TO. Even consumption (which is lung
scrofula), is trseeable to the imperfect ac-
ton OF this organ. Kidney diseases, skin
diseases, sick headache, heart disease,
dropsy, and q long catalogue Of grave
maladies have their origin in 3 torpid, or
sluggish liver. Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery, by establishing Q healthy,
normal action of the liver, acssas d 61ie
and preventive Of these diseases.

cans all over the State:
DEAR SIR: In communication bearing

nent Republicans throughout the State,
the Hon. Thos. T. Cooper, II not by exact
words, by implication, charges that the
present movement for q change in the
Craftsmanship Of the Republican State Gen.
tral Committee originated and is pressed
by the liquor interest provoked by The &C
ton Of the Republican party looking to the
submission Of the Prohibitary Amendment
Of the adoption Of the high license Law and
the action and 'addrsss'' Of Chairman
Cooper In the recent campaign. Also
that this management Is not
favored by the party leaders and county
chairmen throughout the State. As the
Republican, who perhaps more than any
other, is responsible for the candidacy Of
VIM. II. Andrews, of Crawford county, IL
seems necessary for me to state thai Sens-

ment for q change of chairman. 1t is
simply the outgrowth Of widespread and
very pronounced public sentiment among
prominent and representative Republicans
all over the State, men who, like myself, in
every way sympathize with and uphold the
Republican organization in its recent decla-
rations, and acts upon the prohibition
amendments, mission, licenses and other
questions. II Is hardly necessary to
enumerate or discuss the reasons which
have produced this sentiment. That il
exists is sufficient, and that il has 90 far
crystalized as TO select and present oand
idste, indicates that the coming State Con-
vention will have an opportunity to dem
onstrate whether this sentiment is strongly
backed or not. lam content to await that
time, venturing the prediction, however,
that II would be found necessary to have
many Of thelmost prominent Republicans
among its sdherents and will control the

CITY OF MEXICO, April 4.-Dispatche'
from Celaya give details Of frightful ca
lamity in that city. Sunday afternoon
shortly before O'Clock. the bull ring wa
crowded with spectators Of the great ma
tional sport. The company of bull fighter
from Leon were still playing with the frs
bull when fire suddenly broke out on thu
sunny side of the plaza.
A panic seized upon the vast assemblage
and q frigbtful spectacle was the result
The plaza was constructed of wooded
masts, reeds, &C., and it was due to thil
fact that the msjority of the people escaped
without injury, being able to force ar
opening permitting an exit at different
points, but many women and children
Jumped from the top, distance of twenty
to thirty feet, and over one hundred Of
them were seriously wounded. Eighteen
lives were lost.
THE TERRIBLE SCENE.
The sides of the plaza, being lined with
mating as dry as tinder and there being O
slight wind blowing, the ampitheatre was
in blaze in a few seconds Nine bodies,
in some cases charred to be unrecog nizsble
have so far been taken from the smoking
ruins. Nine persons were 80 badly burned
that they died yesterday. This makes
eighteen deaths; but sixty-eight persons
were very badly burned, and at least
ten of them will die.
Fifty:persons in escaping, were knocked
down and trampled on by the panic striC k.
en- audience and very seriously injured,
The bulls, msddened by the roaring of the
flames, broke loose from their stalls and
rushed wildly through the surging mass Of
humanity, tossing aloft and knocking over
all who stood in their way. Among the
eighteen dead were two women who were
first gored to death by the hulis and theiI
bodies afterward burned.

In regard to his candidacy for the

that he was not like an ordinary candi-

petty departmental questions, but as the

fore his presence In the department was

principle he represented, he said, was The

only remedy for the evil.
Being asked to explain the basis Of his
