A FIERCE FIRE IN BOSTON.
Buildings Covering two Acres Burn
ed-Loss, SIS, 100000.

Boston. Nov 25.-The first general alarm
sent out in Boston since the big fire OF 1872
was rung this morning for tire which
started in the building occupied by Brown.
Durreil & Co.. on Bedford street. and which
proved to be in atwinkling more than the
first, second and third deiaehments could
readily handle.
The loss by 1Amas and by damage from
water is estimated tonight at $5.0O0,000.
The first alarm was sounded at 3:l5, and
the building in which the fire started, al
ways thought to be fireproof burned like
tinder box, and the flames rose hundreds OF
feet into the air Second and third alarms
were rung in, aud at $3.50 there was issued
general alarm, which brought apparatus
from Cambridge, s,meryile aud Chelsea.
TWO ACRES BURNED OUT.
The FIRE ragged for six hours and the burn
ed district extended over two acres ofground
which was covered with structures of the
best class. The FIRE was first seen bursting
from the top of the Brown building, at Bed
ford and Kingston streets. 1t was over the
elevator shaft and probably originated in the
shaft. The blaze was discovered by letter
carrier, who notified policeman. The
officer turned in the alarm at the same box
from which the great fire of 1872 was sound
ed. The latter fire started at Kingston and
Sumner streets.
Fourteen iiremen were knocked down in
Kingston street by fragments Of a falling
wall but all escaped serious injury. About
dozen firemen aud policemen are at the
hospitals suffering from lacerations. bruises
and broken limbs. The insurance compln-
les will lose as much by to days fire as they
have received 10 premiums on Boston prop
erty for the entire year. Their losses in 1889
had been unusually heavy before this final
misfortune came.

SOLDIERS RIGHTS.
An Appeal Issued by the Service
Pension Association.

INpIANAPOLIs, IND., December As Presi-
dent ofthe Service Pension Association of
the United States, Governor Alvin P. Hovey
has issued an address entitled: Soldiers
Rights-An appeal to the Loyal People Of
the United States and Their Representatives
in Congress"
The first portion OF the address explains
that the Service Pension Association does
not mean to interfere with the system of
disability pensions now in operation. but
asks, independent of il, a pension for every
man who served 90 days or more in the
Union army. This is not meant to be only
for the support of the survivors, but for
mark of honor. something as the Victoria
cross and the French Gordon of Honor.
The address says; The soldiers OF the
revolution, ofthe war Of isl2l5, with Mexi-
co, with ali our Indian wars, were generous
ly given lands by millions of acres, and pen
sions have been refused. with billions Of
acres Of public domain aud surplus in our
treasury that theingenuity Of our statesmen
has been unable to exhaust" Again it says
We art AtipAutit Aolu that Jul pcusiOh
laws are ample and the. most benefcent in
the world, and that no ex soldier has the
right to find the least fault with the gener-
osity and the paternal care of our Govern
mentn
The final paragraph Of The address is as
follows: Send no representatives to Con-
gress who will not honestly and earnestly
support your just claims and demands.
Send no one who is so stupid, blind or pref
udiced that he cannot see and understand
them, and be sure you send no one who will
not contend for your honor aud your rights
with as much loyalty and zeal as you fought
/ for the preservation Ofthe Union and you
should send neither laegards nor towards
for your representatives, for they do not be-
| long to your rank. The disoyal will howl
for every dollar the Government may pay
you, and large part of subsidized press
will TEEN with articles Of abuse against your
advocates and your rights. Stand firm,
close your ranks and meet the charge OF
your enemies again, and though you may
only have few short hours ofyour furlough
of life, you viii once more be victorious and
conquer

Butler, of South Carolina. Sit Down.
From the Boston Traveller.
Butler. of South Carolina, now in the
United States Senate, is an example of what
has come to be known as Southern impu.
dence. This phase of Southern character is
displayed in the sentiment that the South
erner is above criticism. Butler has lately
lectured the country for what be is pleased
TO state as aspersion OF the Confederate sol
der in calling him traitor to the flag and
a rebel against the United States Govern
ment. In just what terms Butler would
have us speak of those who fred on the iag
and sought for four years TO break up the
government we are not informed. Itwould
be well for Butler to remember that lectur-
ing the loyal people is not the forte of a man
whose indece mt violation of constitutional
obligations since the war outdid his unholy
treason in the war. The less we have of
Butler the better for the South.

As an illustration Of the magnitude OF
the work Of taking the eleventh census
IL is only necessary TO mention the fact
that it is estimated there will beemploy-

agents, l75 supervisors and p experts.
The number Of Published volumes will

The acquittal Of Neif is likely 10 prolong
this now celebrated case year or two more.
Neif was convicted in Greene county, but
secured new trial, and then, upon the al
legation that public sentiment was such that
a fair trial was impartial in Greene, the case
was removed TO Washington
William McCausland, an Allegheny City
stock dealer, was murdered for the purpose
of robbery along the river in Greene county
two years ago last September. Zach Taylor
and George Clark are now under sentence of
death for the crime and will shortly be
hanged. Several others have been tried for
completely in the murder. The authorities
of Greene county have had Jacob Penning-
ton employed as an agent TO secure testi
mony bearing upon the case for almost two
years past and nearly every term Of court
during that period has been marked by the
trial of one the accused or argument Of
the law points involved The defendants
belong TO what is known as the Clark and
Taylor crowd, clannish set Of backwoods
people, who have fought the prosecution
with a determination rarely witnessed.
