BIG FIRE IN BROOKLYN.
Watson's Stores and Great Quantities
of Wheat DestrOYed-LOss $3.50, 900.


of Wheat Destroyed-LOss $55O,OOO.
New YORK, Nov. 13.-There was a destructive
five this morning at Watson's stores, extending
from $50 to 156 Furman street, which are about
midway between the Fulton and Wall street
ferries, Brooklyn. People passing along
Furman street at O'Clock say that there was
no fire to be seen, yet seven minutes later the
whole interior of No. $50, in which the ma
chinery of the grain elevator is located appeared
to be in blaze. Two alarms were sounded,
and in a few minutes brought all the fire engines
in the district to the spot. The fire boat Seth
Low also repaired to the scene. The property
is owned by Col. Watson and leased to the Full
ton Grain Milling Co., who had $4,000
bushels of oats, wheat, and corn in
the stores. The company has an
elevator at the end Of the pier, which
is about 800 feet from the stores, and the grain
is run through the shute into the third story OF
the building No. $50. After this building
had been Quilted the flames communicated to
Nos 1872, 154 and 156. and before they were
checked, the interior of the stores were pretty
well burned out. Thousands Of bushels OF
wheat, corn, and oats flowed down from the diff
ferent stores and covered up half the streets.
The loss on grain is about 1900
600, and on machinery about $4,000.
The loss on the building is about
800 900, making total of $550,000.

The Eastern Branch Bridge.

MAJOR HAMS REPORTS SLOW WORK IN OCTOBER.
Major Hams has reported to the chief of
engineers on the work done on the Eastern
Branch and Aqueduct bridges. The formation
of the earthen embankment at the Eastern
Branch, says the report for the eastern ap-
proach to the bridge, was resumed on the 9th
of October. and was continued during the
month, fair progress being made. The con-
struction of the coffer-dam around the founda-
ton Of pier progressed slowly, because of q
delay in the arrival Of necessary machinery.
After nearly a months delay, due to the fail
ure of the contractors to procure material, the
construction Of the concrete foundation of the
west abutment was begun on October 81. 1t
should have been completed before that date.
Face stone for the west abutment is on the
ground, and will be placed in position as soon
as the foundation is completed. The erection
of iron-work was commenced on the 18th, after
considerable delay. The trusses were swung
on the 29th. ION the WHOLE" concludes the
report, progress has been remarkably slow,
and shows lack Of business management on
the part of the contractors" The construc-
ton OF the coffer-dam for pier A, and of the
foundation for the west abutment, will be con-
tinued drRing November. The erection of the
iron-work and the formation of the eastern
approach win also be in progress.

TWO SWINDLED VIRGINIANS.
They Fall into the Traps of f'Green-
Goods'' Men in New York.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Nov. 13.-Two country
men entered the Pennsylvania railroad depot
this morning. One of them carried a
small satchel like those used by the
green goods swindlers. Policeman Reen,
who had suspicion that the men had
been feeced, accosted them. They were indig-
nant, but finally agreed to go to police head
quarters with him, where it was soon ascer-
tanned that they had been swindled and that
the satchel contained nothing but brown paper
cut to the dimensions of treasury
note. The men gave their names
as James ]. Wakeman, of Water
neighbor. Inspector Byrnes was notified and
he sent an officer to escort the men to New
York, where efforts will be made to find the
swindlers. Wakeman paid S175 for the con-
tents of the bag

THE CITY POST.OFFICE.
A Committee of Citizens Who Want to

WHY Gen. Warren Resigned.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-In the house of commons
this afternoon Mr.. Matthews, the home secre-
tary, stated that the resignation of Gen. Sir
Chas Warren as chief of the metropolitan po-
lice was solely due to his refusal to submit to
the rule which forbids officials to publicly
criticise government services. Gen. Warren,
in announcing his resignation, said Mr.. Mat
thews wrote that had he known that such a
rule existed he would never have accepted the
post. Mr.. Goschen, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, denied that the government proposed
to withdraw the Vans bill.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

THEY WANT THE NUMBER OF SALOONS REDUCED.
The Commissioners to-day received long
petition, signed by $50 taxpayers and residents
of Anacostia, praying that the number OF sa-
looms on Bridge street and at the junction OF
Monroe and Harrison streets be reduced, as
they are at the entrance to the village and
greatly hinder desirable persons from locating
among them, Also that the new license about
to be petitioned for by George Frederic be re-
fused. The Commissioners will take the matter
under advisement.
THE DIssECTING-RooM MATTER TO BE FURTHER
INQUIRED INTO.
The STAR has heretofore referred to the citi-
Zens' complaint against the stencil alleged to
come from the dissecting-room Of the medical
college OF Georgetown university, on II street.
The matter was laid before the Commissioners
and in time submitted to Health Officer Town
shend for report. DIR. Townshend, in passing
upon the case, says he visited the place in
question, but was unable to discover any nuis-
ance. Father Walter this morning called on
the Commissioners to explain the report. He
said that between the time the health officer
was notified and the time he arrived the college
people cleaned up the place and distributed a
good supply of carbolic acid. He said, further,
that DR.. Palmer thought the place dangerous
to health. He begged the Commissioners to
look further into the matter and, il possible,
abate this great nuisance before an epidemic is
started. The Commissioners will look further
into the matter.
THE CARE OF THE INSANE.
The STAR has heretofore referred to Inten-
dant Stoutenburgh's letter to the Commission
ers relative to the want Of proper accommoda-
tions for insane persons, whom he is often
called upon to receive. He suggests that they
be sent to the United States jail. Warden
Croker, however, objects to this arrangement
on the ground of want Of accommodation, and
also that a person SO afflicted should have
proper care, and this, he says cannot be given
at the Jail. DIR. McWilliams, the physician at
the Jail, in letter accompanying Warden
Crocker's, says the Jail is the most unsuitable
place in the world for insane patients. He also
thinks the Commissioners have not the power
to commit any person to Jail, and such power
would require special act OF Congress.

WEST VIRGINIA VERY CLOSE.
Only the Official Returns Can Settle
How the state Has Gone.

PIrTsBURs. Nov. ia Chronicle Telegraph
Wheeling, W. Va, special says: The all-im-
portant official count in the mountain state has
not yet been completed, and until it is no one
will know definitely whether Golf or Fleming
is elected governor, or whether the electoral
ticket is republican or democratic. The ma
iority cannot be more than 200 or 800 either
way. The republican state committee has
raised its estimate from lbs and 200 to the
above figures as its claim, while the democratic
committee has reduced its estimate 100. The
democratic claim to-day is of 400 to 500.
1t will probably be the latter part of the
week before the official count is completed.
Judge Fleming, the democratic candidate for
governor, has demanded a recount of the
Kanawha returns, which county reported a
majority for Golf of $500. In the recOunts so
far no important errors have been discovered
What trifing gains are made by one party are
offset by similar gains for the opposite side.
The returns now in justify the belief that
there will be no material difference in the
totals between the republican state and national
tickets as Golf did not run so much ahead of
his ticket as was at first supposed.

said he would make no change in lake rates,
the season being practically ended. The re-
ducing of all-rail rates he thought very un-
wise, especially at the present time. He
continued: I'VE have had all the
business we could handle conveniently and
saw no reason for coming down Just at the time
when we had reason to suppose we could make
some money. Everything seemed to bid fair
for good winters business, but now it looks
as if we would not get a new dollar for an old
one. / don't know how long it will continue.
