A BIG FIRE IN BROOKLYN.
Jute Mills and a Tobacco Factory To-
tally Destroyed.

New YORK. April l2-Fire started at o'clock
this morning in the jute mills on Presi-
dent street. near Hoyt, Brooklyn. 1t is large
brick building. owned by Buchanan & Lyall
and several hundred men are employed in it.
Three alarms were sent out. and if seemed as if
the entire factory would be DESTROYED The
whole of South Brooklyn was Lit up by the
flames, making spectacle of imposing magni-
tude and brllliancy. When the operatives were
escaping from the building the scene was most
exciting. There We're 200 men and girls en-
ployed there at night and about 300 in the day-
time. The hair on the heads of three of the
girls was entirely burned off, SO narrow was
their escape.
Opposite the jute factory is the tobacco fac
tory of the same firm, buchanan 4 Lyall. and
close to that is fiat house. four stories high
fed in great alarm. There were eight families
of them. The boilers of the jute mill exploded
soon afterward, driving the immense crowd
BACK IN A PANIC,
and setting fire to the roofs of six adjoining
houses. About the same time the roof of the
mill fell in, sending up mass of flames and
cinders. The neighboring roofs were quickly
deuged with water, so that the fire scorched
them but slightly. Twelve engines were at
work endeavoring to check the confiagration.
The jute factory is totally destroyed, and also
a small wooden building adjoining it, which
was used as a stable. The building was 800 feet
in length on President street. extending
through to Carroll street, on which there was
also a frontage of 800 feet. The loss is esti-
mated at S400, ,000

NEW YORK, April 12.-The board of govern

election for club officers a large number of
forged ballots were cast. The affair has caused
quite a scandal in club circles. Last night the
board met and gave a certain member, who has
been suspected of being the forger, an oppor-
tunity to be heard. 1t is understood that his
statement was not satisfactory, but was practi-
cally confession of guilt Final action in the
matter was postponed for the present The
club officials decline to divulge the name of
the guilty, but the Herald this morning init
mates that he is "a middle-aged politician,
relic of Tweed ring days, who has lived on his
club associates for wears

GAINESVILLE, TENN, December H.
The strong market, which we have reported
/ for the last several weeks, has developed an
increased volume Of business, resulting in
sales Of GlS h0gsheads for the week ending
to-day. Transactions consist largely in
sales Of Tugs at an advance of &c. to &C..
upon prices ruling month ago. Sellers
are ayailing themselves Of the present
strong demand, and are meeting the market
freely with view 10 reducing their large
holdings. Some large sales have beenmade
privately Of course, rough Tugs, more or less
green, dusty, moulded and funked, at prices
decidedly above what they would have
brought a few weeks ago. We would re-
mark about our quotations Of low grades,
that while occasional hogsheads sell near
our inside figures, the general range Of
prices is towards the outside figures.
