sumed by Flames.


PIrTsBURG, Dec. 6.-The Mononga-
hela house burned to the ground yester;
day. causing loss of about $780, 900,
amply insured. The building covered
an entire block and was seven stories in
height. Most of the guests lost all
their personal property. The fire
started near the bottom of the freight
elevator, just about noon, and the
flames and smoke Immediately shot up
the shaft, the smoke filling up the en-
tire upper portion of the building.
There were about 200 guests in the
hotel, more than half of whom were in
their rooms, many dressing for dinner.
They rushed for the,passenger elevator,
but finding the shaft also filled with
smoke, resorted to the stairways and
every one got out safely. Several in.
valid ladies and others who had been
overcome by fright were carried out by
the firemen. The chambermaids and
some other employees had to take to the
! fire escape. Several narrow escapes are
recorded. The only accident reported
was the injuring of two firemen who
were badly bruised by falling debris
The damage to the structure will
amount to 100000 and the guests lose
considerable in the damage to personal

TALKS TO The JURY.
Attorney Hynes Attracts Great Crowd

His Utterances.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The fac. thai
Hynes was to address the jury IN the
Cronin case yesterday drew q great
crowd and the court room was packed te
the doors. The eloquent Irish advocate
began his speech by congratulating the
ury on the approach of the close of the
trial. "All possible safeguards" said
Mr.. Hynes, chad been thrown by the
law around the rights OF the men ac
cused of crime. Hearsay testimony
had been excluded and the strictcst
rules had been laid down defining the
limits of the evidence which might be
adduced against man. All this had
been done in order that it might not be
possible that a man might be accused
behind his back, tried behind his back
and killed behind his back. Killed
first and accused afterwards" AS the
attorney uttered this sentence in impas.
stoned tones he extended his hand to-
ward the men on trial. The inference
he apparently wished to draw was that
this method of procedure, forbidden by
law, was precisely the course followed
by the men who first killed DR.. Cronin
and accused and tried him afterwards.

state of Mississippi during his childhood.
He graduated from the West Point mill

of 20 years, and served with distinction
against the Indians until lS35, when he
signed his commission, returned to Missis-
sippi, and married the daughter of General
Taylor, afterwards president of the United
States.
He then became cotton planter, contin-
uing in the business for nearly eight years,
when he interested himself in politics as Il
democrat, and took a prominent part in
the election of Polk. He was sent TO the
house in lS45, and took II prominent part i'll
the debates on the turitf, the Oregon ques-
tion, the preparation for the Mexican war,
etc. Upon the breaking out Of the Mexican
war he was elected colonel of the Missis
sippi regiment of volunteers, and resigning
his seasi congress, he joined the army of
General Taylor on the Rio Grande, and
was engaged in the storinng of Monterey
and the battle of Bucna Vista, At the
close of the war he was offered by PreSi-
dent Polk the rank of Grigadier- general Of
volunteers, but it was declined.
Two years later he was elected senator
for Mississippi; in $50 he became chair
man of the committee on military affairs.
and was distinguished by the energy with
which he defeatled slavery. and by his zeal
GUS advocacy of state riSh,s.

A story of a strange combat CO me
from Fishkill, Dutchcss county, N. Y.
A gray eagle which had it's nest in the
Fishkill mountains has been seen tc
alight several times in the asylum
grounds, presumably in search of prey.
A great flock of crows had chosen that
locality as feeding ground and resting
place, and they evidently looked upon
the advent of the eagle as an intrusion.
The crows apparently decided to give
the majestic bird to understand that it
was poaching. AT any rate it is a fact
that dozen or more of the crows at
tackled the eagle while it was soaring
over Rogers field and put it to flight
The battle lasted half an hour or more
The crows which did not participate
kept circling around and around the
combatants and cawing incessantly
The fight was witnessed by several per.
sons, who picked up many blood-stained
feathers from the ground.

Meets With General Approval.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 6.-General
McCutcheon, of Michigan, said today
that he believed that his bill for provid-
ing for special census of all persons
that served in the war of the rebellion
would go through both houses prac.
tically without opposition, nearly every
representative and senator who has been
approached on the matter having prom
iscd his support and cooperation. Even
Mr.. Porter, the superintendent of the
census, to whose duties, the proposition,
if adopted, would add heavy load, is
like Barkus, willing to do his share
The idea was originally conceived by
General Alger, and in its present shape
rontemplates not only a census of the
veterans, but concise statement Of
every mans services and his present
financial condition.
