In Denver, Field was brilliant, and as
is usually the case. cratic. His genius
lighted the Tribune with a brilliant glow
and moi was DULY colored, a condition
generally true when such work must be
ground out, SO many yards per day. The
primer articles of the Tribune introduced
him to photographic circles. An occasional
stanza full of tender pathos and purest
sentiment discovered the fires which have
since burst into poetic flame; but Field
was much of a Bohemian after all. His
account while in Denver wa, for the most
part in the red, literarily and literally;
and his nature was full of strange incon-
sistencies. Reverence was not bestowed
in wasteful quantities in his make up and
no subject was sacred when his wit was on
the 90. Against some stanzas full of re
ligious feeling and spiritual fire, | recall
some r~ecitals of his IN his sub-cellar but
musical voice that would cause the fore
lock of a Baptist deacon to rise in horror
ut the musical sacrelige. When Field
took his place on the Chicago NetcS
he took his first marked step forward IN
the literary world and has since been doing
excellent work both in prose and verse.
A little time ago | noticed that the Sun
of New York in its Sunday issue paid
him the high compliment OF d~evoting a
column to the republication of some of
his shorter poems. A young lady of some
literary reputation, who has recently paid
the Tribune graduate a visit, is reported as
having said that she found Eugene Field

Property. to the Value of a Million Do l.
iais Goes Up In Smoke.
CHICAGO, March 26.-About A o'clock
a, M. fire broke out in the basement OF
the Central Storage warehouse, corner
Rush street and the river. A general
alarm was turned in within ten minutes
after the first alarm. but in q short time
the entire building was in flames, and
by 8 o'clock was entirely destroyed. The
building was a %six-story brick and filed
with the finest kind of groceries, spices,
tea, coffee and general merchandise. THE
loss will reach 81, 00e. 900. The principal
owners are eastern firms. The fire was
n of the iercest that the fire depart
ment has had to deal with for many
months. The basement was filled with
all kinds of i~nfiammable material cor.
sisting of wines, spirits, WHISTLES aud
alcohol, and as soon as this became ig.
nited the edifice was doomed and the
fire department. could do nothing but
endeavor to prevent the conflagration
from spreading. Twice before within q
short, time the building has been on fire,
Alderman Manicra said he had noaoubt
that the three fires were all of incen.
diary origin.

ingly now in us good heaiti, as sine has
been of late years. 1t is true that the
mental condition of Mrs. Stowe, al
shough well known here in Hartford, is
seldom alluded to. 1t is. a fact, how
ever, that Mrs. Stoves mind is shat
tered, and she is, at best. in intellecrl-
atty now but a mere child. Her friends
will not say that she is insane, nor that
she is an imbecile, but her mind is al
o completely gone. Her memory il
that of q baby. When former dear
friends visit her, people whom she has
known for years, she greets them with a
vacant stare so indicative a symptom III
cases of that kind. OF course, Mrs.
Stoves relatives view all this with q
feeling OF dismay, but they have now
become reconciled to the change, and
her whims are treated with the utmost
tenderness. For some time it was given
out that Mrs. Stowe did not recognize
her friends because of failing eyesight,
but this case is never alluded to, and the
fact that she is no longer capable is
recognized by every one. 1t was also fol-
a long time thought to be an attribute
of genius when Mrs. Stowe showed
those idiosyncrasies, but the genius that
made Uncle Toms Cabin has departed.
The father of Mrs. Stowe, Rev. Ly
man Beecher, passed the closing years
| of his life with a cloud resting over his
mind. His symptoms were greatly SINH
lar to those which now afflict Mrs.
Stowe.

An Alligator Knocks outa steamer.

AN AlIfShLuF HnOchs Outh StehEner.
Palatka, Fla, Herald: The steamer
Comet came down from Crescent City
this morning with her bowstem broken
and several planks sprung. 1t seems
that while coming around a sharp bend
in Dunn's creek. known as Danger Point,
she struck huge alligator which is
claimed by the captain to have been
about Is feet long. This creek connects
Lake Crescent with the 81. Johns river,
and is famous for Its floating islands,
which are composed Of b%onnets, water
lilies and such other vegetation
as grows in Florida. The Comet is in
the habit OF running into these
Il )a'ing islands without checking her
speed. The captain noticed that this
particular island was rather large, but
paid nc attention to il, for an opposi-
ton steamer was crowding him and he
could not afford TO check up. The boat
struck the floating leland with terrible
force. breaking her bow stem, as above
stated, and shattered the boat consider
ably. The passengers were terribly
frightened, and the ladies ran about
asking in pitiful tones for help, and il
took several minutes for the crew to
quiet those frantic An in.
vestigation was made. The creek was
red with blood, aud the snorsing in the
water terrific. 1t turned cut that the
supposed island was nothing more than
q huge alligator, whose back was
covered yer with boDnets and watel
lilies, resembling an island obstructing
the hide of the saurian sfrom view. In,
stsnces of this kind happen quite FREE
quently on the river, but it is the first
time to our knowledge that q steamer
was ever 20 badly damaged as was the
Comet. The Comet will be repaired to.
day and resume her ronte tomorrow.

right royal greeting, and such a well
come as Irishmen alone know how to
give. upon their arrival on the Lans-
downe grounds, where the last exhibit

that the more famous members of the

social festivities which marked their
arrival were brought to a a tempo
rary cessation to permit them to
enter the field and give an exhibition of

The Lydecker Court Martial.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-In the Ly-

who assisted Maj. Lydecker, was the
only witness examined yesterday. He
described at length the system of in
spection. when the work was closed
he said, Maj. Lydecker and myself
spent two days going through the tun-
mel inspecting it, and on that inspection
the money was paid. There was no
special test applied, for everything ap-
peared to be correct. There were a
number of pieces of bad work discov-
cred. We discovered a very serious
piece of bad work about July /, 1888.
We found dry packing and cavities, and
tile foreman was discharged. The char
acter of the work seemed to be uni
formiy good, and at that time it was
not possible to apply tests that have
since been made. They are a new dis
coveFy. Mai. i~Lydtecker examined the
report very carefully, and he made a
number of visits to the tunnel.' Lieut..
Townsend did not finish his testimony
at 3 o'clock, when the courtaad iourned.
