Freight-Houses Burned.

Boston, April 9.-The freight-houses of
the Boston & Lowell division of the Boston
& Maine railroad were destroyed early
this evening, only a portion of the walls re-
naming. The structures consisted of a
three and one-half story brick building,
80 feet long by so feet wide, and another
of the same length, two and one-half sto-
ries high. on Lowell street. the two being
connected by a wooden building 80 feet
long. Between the two main buildings
were five tracks, and the whole was COY

flames. Standing on the tracks within the
structure were thirty to forty freight cars,
many of them loaded, N all were de-
stroyed before they could be removed to a
place of safety. A portion of the larger
building was used as a grain elevator. and
here were stored from SO. 600 to 40, 900 bushels
of grain, besides a large quantity of flour.
The fire is still burning, though entirely
nnder control, andi it will probably be many
hours before the firemen's work is CON-
pleted. Part of the books of the company
were destroyed, but many were saved,

other papers were saved in a damaged con-
dition. 1t is impossible to correctly esti-

Burning of s~ayannah's Only Cotton-Min-
Loss Estimated Mt About s13o,0oo.
SAVANNAH, Ca, April 9.-The Savannah
cotton-min was burned this afternoon.
The fire started in the mule" room a little
after 8 o'clock. 1t is supposed that the fire
started from a heated spindle, and In an
hour nothing but the walls of the building
were left. The employees barely had time
to escape through the windows. The en-
gineer was in the engine-room, next to
where the fire started, and attempted to
unreel the hose. hut was driven out by the
intense heat and the flames. which leaped
from room to room and covered the
entire building. Between eighty and
one hundred employees were in the
building, but all escaped. The fac
tory consisted of two buildings, sepa-
rated by q narrow lane, through which the
employees got into the street. The tiremen
played on the building from all sides, but
the flames spread with such rapidity that
they were unable to get control or even to
check them. The mill was built in 1870
at a cost, with machinery, of $4,000.
It had a capacity of 10000 spindles, and
was the only mill of the kind in Savannah.
1t was owned by John Flannery, and was
operated 1nder lease by L; N. Warneid,
and stock is 100000. The insurance is $40
900. in the following companies: Norwich
Union, 5000; Lancashire Fire, 5000;
North British and Mercantile. $4,000;
Georgia Home, $1,000: Connecticut, $4,000;

and National, $500; Merchants o fNewark.
$500: London, Liverpool and Globe, 5000;

anee Company, $500.
During the progress Of the fire in the
mills, a row of tenement-houses on the OPP
posite side of the street caught fire and
eight houses were burned. The loss on the
tenements and to the occupants will ap-
proximate $1,000 upon which there was but
5000 insurance.

FROM the interviews W e quote from
the Herald il will be seen that the
* cker" movcmen. against Malone is
quite ominous. and that if there Is a
combined movement TO unite that ele-
ment the Boss has "A foregone con-
clusion Of defeat IL is taken for
granted that the managers Of the
Democratic party will care TO have The
remote country voters informed thor
oughy ON the political situation.
Then if there Is as full a vote as we
have polled it will need all the vote,
that Malone can get to elect him.
Hence the Herald catches the main
point and peiceives that detection OF
any respectable size in the Republican
party must leave the Boss with only TIE
negro vote at his back Such men as
Yost and the Lewises and Cameron
have followers consisting Of large
numbers Of people whom they can in.
iluence at any particular moment Of lhe
Republican seasons. And whether such
followers vote with the Democrats OF
vote not at all the change viii be fatal
to Malone.
We do not believe that the Democrats
will fail in organization and work.
The spirit that is manifested in all
quarters seems already to be the har-
binger Of victory.

The Richmond community is very
good naturcd and patient one. but its
temper on the subject Of street cars.
which it has held so long, has been
worn out by the attrition resulting
from accumulating neglect OF obliga-
tions on the part Of the street car man
ayers. II was week ago before we
mentioned this matter, but rs general
attention has been called 10 il. the best
thing for the managers To do Is to re-
cognize the degree Of public indi2ra-
nation that now exists. and that
calls for better service in respect OF
car accommodation. and amore prompt
service in respect Of the number Of
cars. The "bobiMl' mule car is not a
thing Of beauty. but it did used 10
come along regularly. and tie citizen
accustomed to.cse them daily put up
the nickel, and il he made Che trip in o
reasonable time be was content. The
cruelty to the animals was not worse
than it is along the streets when AT
every moment the feelings are shocked
at the sights Of oecrladen wagons and
suffering animals. The worst Of the
case against the mule cars IS that pre-
scented by the comparison. we cite.
Now, it is a certainty that when cor
porations, representing thepeopie. grant
charters to companies representing in
dividuaIs. there is an obligation to serve
the public fairly. and the company hav-
ing public franchise should be made
to recognize this if they decline to DO it.
As for the electric cars. they some
times appear to come rushing in hocks
ard disappear as rapidly. leaving the
disappointed car-hunter, who wanted to
gothic other way still standing and wait
ing in vain.
So the amiable and too patient citi-
,eus Of Richmond have been caught
between the lightning and the mule, so
far as transit is concerned
The fault is not in the mule, and as
for the lightning. we tax not you, ye
elements. with unkinduess: but it is the
bad management and the neglect Of the
obligation to the public whose repre-
sentatives granted the charter.
Hon. S. S. COX, who has just died. has
