A saoO,0OO FIRE NEAR NORwALK. Immense wharves and Freight Houses
 ofthe Housatonic Railroad Destroyed
 at Wilson Point.
 NoRwALK, May 23.-The passenger station, freight houses and immense wharves of the Housatonic railroad company at Wilson Point were burned at an early hour this morning and the loss will be not far from $20O, GOO. At about 3 o'clock, when the stevedores were loading the steamboat Le Fevre with freight for New York, lantern was overturned on 8 bale of iute, and the flames spread from bale to bale so rapidly that the men were obliged to flee for their lives.
 In less than five minutes the main freight house was on fire at every point and the flames spread rapidly to the passenger station adjoining, driving the agent and his assist ants from the office before they could gather up so much as waybill. The fierce north- erly gale which prevailed at the time drove the flames through the long freight house Sound, and twenty-eight freight cars and their contents were soon blazing merrily. An engine and flat car were sent to Nor- walk, four miles away, for assistance, and engine No. was dispatched to the scene in charge of Chief Engineer Prowitt and about twenty men. When the engine arrived every building was level with the dock and the flames were devouring the dock timbers at a rate that simply astonished all who saw it. The New England 6 Terminal company's big steamboat the Cape Charles was moored to the dock and was in great danger for while, but the cables were finally cut and she drift ed slowly out of danger. The Le Fevre had steam up and made good her escape without injury to boats or contents. The steamboat Artisan of the same line left the Point for New York about twenty minutes before the fire broke out.
 The loss to the Housatonic Railroad com pany is very serious, absolutely nothing was saved but the floating dock, which has not yet been used. The company has spent many thousands of dollars at Wilson Point and was doing an immense freight business there, from seventy five to one hundred cars being unlosded daily. As soon as the neces- sary arrangements could be perfected it was intended to run the cars on transfer boats and take them to New York for shipment to their destination, thus saving largely in time and labor. The company will rebuild at

It has been almost conclusively shown that contrary to appear auce his skull was not eleven or even frac- tured. There is absolute certainty that he was not strangled.

YALE NOTES.
Yale Senior Society Elections.

Yale Senior Society Elections.
 Yesterday afternoon forty-ive juniors were made happy, and perhaps as many more just correspondingly the opposite. The Wolf's Head elections this year for the first time took place at the same time as the oth- CTS. Surprises were more numerous even than was thought could be possible, and many a previously made list was badly scratched. Of course the men in the class that is to depart soon who have worn the sacred pins for the past year made selections to suit themselves, as is right; but when considering some of the men passed by one cannot help feeling that some of the selections made, in Bones especially, were not made as in times of old, for merit. The petty animosity of one man can often times de- prive just recognitions from many. Cheers upon cheers went up when Walker came over from the direction of High street, and with 8 slap on the shoulder sent Crosley to his room first of all.
 Ames surprised every body by refueing to respond to the love tap of Lucas to go to Wolf's Head, but upon the persuasion finally yielded and went off meekly with Merrill, and soon he will gather round the boards upon Prospect street and with Bob and Jack Ire land Reyes will have a good representa- tion next year in every one of her men. The men elected to these societies and those giv- ing the election are:

THE TRIBUNE" AND MINING.

A paper of miners, by the miners, for the
miners, is the Salt Lake Tribune assuredly.
We have no fault to find with that. We
are quite willing it should champion in any
way it sees fit the cause and interests of 1.-THE
horny handed heroes who storm the crags, -
and so forth, and are only sorry that I'VE
honest miner,i whom we all regard as an
important factor OF our western civilization,
has not more able and respectable cham
pion in that paper than he has. But when
our esteemed contemporary, in order to
tickle the ribs of its favorite
class and swell its subscription list
in the mining camps - no doubt
a very necessary step in its domestic econ

time to put in its oar" out Of sheer pity,
to prevent our poor neighbor, who is not
regarded as very bright at best, from max

Mexico has been ia the business long enough
to realize that man who produces 81 600 from

who gets it through raising ii in crop from the

only improves little on the methods OF the
Stone Age.
There is more drivel of like character in

the whole.

THE DEATH of ex-Associate Justice PHILIP
H. EMERSON, announced elsewhere in this
issue of The HERALD, comes unexpectedly.
The gentleman was in bad health for years,
but it was recently said that he was i'm
proving, and his recovery was confidently
looked for. Judge EMERSON came to Utah
in the early seventies, and has remained
here continuously since, formerly at Provo,
but late years in Ogden. For three terms,
we believe, he served as associate justice,
resigning upon the Inauguration Of Presi-
dent CLEVELAND; and it can be said truth
fully that few if any Of the many federal
judges with which the territory has been
favored and afflicted, retired in the enjoy
ment of higher degree of confidence and
respect Of the bar and the public than the
deceased. On the bench he was worker,
and in social life he was cour teous, genial
and companionable. Many people will miss
Judge EMERSON, and mourn his sad and IN
timely death.

THE CYNIC.

The cynic is one who never sees good quality
in man. and never fails TO see bad one. He is
the human owl vigilant in darkness and blind in
light, housing for Vermin, and never seeing
noble game. The cynic puts all human actions
into only two classes-openly bad and secretly
bad All virtue and generosity and disinterested
ness are merely the appearance Of good,
but selfish at the bottom He holds that
no man does a good thing except for
profit The effect Of his conversation
upon your feelings is to chill and scar them, to
send you away sour and moroSe.
II Mr.. A. is pronounced religious man, he
will reply: Yes, on Sundays
Mr. b. has Just joined the church: Certainly,
the elections are coming on
Such man is generous: OF other mems
To him religion is hypocrisy, honestly pre-
paratioa for fraud, virtue only want Of oppor-
tunity.
A man will be what his most cherished feel
ngs are. II he encourage noble generosity,
every feeling will be enriched by it; if he nurse
bitter and envenomed thoughts, his own spirit
will absorb the poison, and he will crawl among
men as a FURNISHED adder, whose life is mis-
chief and whose errand is death.
He who hunts for flowers will find flowers,
and he who loves weeds may find weeds. Re
ject, then, the morbid ambition of the cynic, or
cease TO call yourself man.
The above qnotation from the writings
of HENRY WARD BBECHER is constantly
brought to ones mind when reading the
outpourings Of venom from the down town
organ Of hate.
What should be the opinion other than
that of pity and contempt when enterprises
that are for the benefit Of our ciryI are
ridiculed and belitted because they do not
happen to be the outgrowth of suggestion
Of the diseased mind of the cynic that
presides o5er the destinies of,the Tribune,
for, ''Let it be rene nbered that no man,
who is not himself mortally diseased, will
have a relish FOR di sease in others"
We all rejoice in the erection of such
buildings as the Scott-Auerbach structure,
as they are credit to our city, and also the
advancement of any home institution,
The increasing of the capital Of the Home
Fire Insurance company from 100000 to
100000 is not worthy Of men
ton in the columns Of our very
enterprising ~ unesteemed cotem. THE
HERALD says success to every enterprise
that will save money to the country
and furnish employment to the people; and
il never will be found wanting in giving
full credit to Mormon, Jew or Gentle, who
does anything for the good of our city or
territory
