this morning started at 1890 O'Clock in the
jute mills of Buchanan & Lyell, corner of
President and Hoyt streets, Brooklyn, a
tour-story brick, extending over an area
300 by 300 feet. Three alarms were sent out
aud the whole fire department of Brooklyn

till nearly 2 o'clock. The walls Of the big

up by the flames. A fat across the street
caught fire, but by the prompt work OF the
flremen it was saved. The factory en-
ployed 800 hands, as it worked night and
day.
A RUSH FOR LIFE.

mills when the fire broke out. There was
quite a panic, but according to reports

His Fathers Gray Uniform Made the
Son an Object of Suspicion.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-Col Julian
Allen of North Carolina has made applica-
ton for relief to the President in behalf of
Capt. William A. Wiuder, late of the
United States army. From the papers pre-
eented, it appears that the applicant served
eighteen years in the army, beginning with
tue war with Mexico. During the civil war
he was desirous of going to the front, but
he fell under suspicion Of disloyalty because
his father, Gen. Winder, was an officer In
the confederate army. Although President
Lincoln was satisfied upon the assurance Of
Capt then Lieut. Winder as to his loyalty,
Secretary Stanton insisted upon his being
sent to California.
HoUNDED ON THE SLOPE.
This was done and in California the
charge of disloyalty was renewed, finally
resulting in a trial by which he was honor
ably acquitted. While on this duty he re-
ceived the formal thanks of the Maryland
legislature for gallant services in connec-
tion with the rescue Of shipwrecked crews.
After the war, Capt. Winder resigned and
now as his papers recite, broken down in
health and fortune, he seeks to be rein

tired list

DUDLEY'S LIBEL SUIT.
The Counsel for the Post Moves That
1t be Dismissed.

New YORK, April 11.--Couuselor God
kin, on behalf of the EUening Post, ap-
peared before Judge Beach in the supreme
court chambers to-day and moved for tho
dismissal OF Col. w. w. Dudley's suit
against the Post to recover damages for the
publication of an alleged libel consisting of
the 'blocks of five" letters. The counsel
stated that Col. Dudley on his examina-
tion before the commission in Washington
refused to testify as to matters in regard to
his complaint.
BLISS DEFENDS DUDLEY.
Col Bliss argued that Col. Dudley had
acted properly in declining to testify. He
said Mr.. Godkin had presented to Col.
Dudley the very letter upon which the In
diana grand jury was asked to indict him,
and requested him to say whether or not it
was his signature, and Col Dudley declined
to answer in order to protect himself in any
proceedings brought.
The decision is reserved.
WHAT DUDLEY is DOING.
WASHINGTON, April 11.--Col. Dudley
has been placed in charge of the permanent
headquarters of the republican national
committee, with which he has ALWAYS re-
mained in full fellowship in spite OF his
untoward exposure. 1t was for the COM
mittee that he made his trip to Tennessee.
Col. Dudley is to manage ali Senator Quay's
southern work. President Harrison has as
little to do with him personally as possible.
Col. Dudley is not at the wnite house, and
he has given up all hope of getting an office
under this administration, but he is helping
other men to get offices, and to that end
haunts the departments daily. Even Post
master General Wanamalxer receives
him gladly. Naturally all the
boys who are disappointed at the
white house go to the national headquart-
ers TO see Col Dudley. He said to-day: 81

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE court

conduct unbecoming and officer and a
gentleman, met at the war department this
morning, and the members of the court
qualified. in response to question as to
whether he had any objection to the COM
position of the court Maj. Armes replied
in the negative, but suggested that in this
case the cart had been placed before the
horse, and that not he, but Capt. Bourke
and G l. Gibson, who had made the charges
against him, should be standing upon trial
He referred to Col. Barr as an officer
who had been Secretary Of War for Secre
tary Lincoln.
HIS COUNSEL.
The defendant announced that he had
selected Capt. Knox of the First Cavalry
as his counsel. Inasmuch as Capt. Knox
was a member of the court martial it was
necessary that he should first be relieved.
The Judge advocate therefore secured the
consent of the Secretary of War to the
arrangement, and Capt. Knox was re-
heved by special order. He
stated that he was not prepared imme-
dia5ely to proceed in the case, and the court
adjourned until tomorrow. The specifica-
tions of the charges against Maj. Armes
are pulling the nose of Gov. Beaver Of
Pennsylvania, and bringing false and
frivolous charges in police courts against

RED TAPE ILLUsTRATED.-Miss Blanche Willis Howard, who is now in Germany, proposes to translate her books into that language, and in order to arrange for her copyright it was necessary to prove the place of her nativity. This seems to be a very easy matter, but it is not nearly as simple as it appears on the surface. Miss Howard wrote to her father, D. M. How ard, Esq, of Bangor. Victor Brett, Esq, city clerk of Bangor, first certified to the, fact that Miss Howard was born in that city. His signature was certified to by United States Commissioner Hamlin, whose official signature was certified to by Judge Webb of the United States district court. The clerk of that court, MT. Davis, then certified to the signature of the judge, and the document was ready to be forwarded to Washington. Then it was taken to Att torney General Miller, who certified to the signatures of the court officials then it re- ceived the indorsement of Secretary Blaine of the state department, and finally the signature of the head of the German lega- tion.

WRITTEN FOR DECORATION DAY-1ss9

WRITTEN FOR DECORATION DAY-1889. To-day the nation pays distribute to her fallen
 brave; To-day flowers are strewnupon each tomb and
 grave Of those brave patriots who fought and died i; Fighting freedom's battle, side by side; Fighting with all their might to free The captive from captivity. Millions they have freed, and millions yet to be Shall honor and revere their memory. To-day we do not hear the poor slave sigh, Nor see him quail beneath @ tyrant's eye. We do not hear his groans, caused by the
 cruel rack, Nor see the tyrant's lash descend upon his
 back. His freedom has been sealed by the blood of
 the brave, Who to-day lie sleeping in an honored grave Honored they are, though in their graves they Their names are not foxgotten-the deeds
 will never die. Good deeds do not die. Man may pass thro'
 deaths portal; . His deeds live, and living, makes his name
 immortal. Tie deeds of soldier, if they be good, are
 treasured by nation, And with pride are handed down to each suc-
 ceeding generation. They are also inscribed upon history's pages, To be read and admired by all succeeding ages. Thus it is with America's sons, they have
 fought, their fame and glory May be read upon the pages of their coun-
 try's story. Brave soldier, sleep! thy warfare is o'er The sound of the bugie shall wake thee no t The booming of cannon is now to thee as
 nought, Thy fighting is finished, thy last battle has
 been fought .... And bravely hast thou won true soldiers fame,
 Which through the coming ages shall immor- talNe thy name! Brave warrior rest, forgotten thou shalt not be, While thy country shall remain free As the proud eagle which hovers OCT it's coast The emblem of her proudest boast, An emblem of the brave and free, Who hate and scorn-captiyity. America, thou art to-day the the land of the free,
 And thy motto may henceforth be freedom rights and equality! Thy loyal sons have not fought in vain, To sever the bonds and break the chain, Which held so many of the human race In abject misery and disgrace. So now let let us march to the soldiers grave And scatter bright flowers upon the sod, Which hides the form of the noble brave From every eye but the eye of God. Upon each tomb and monument
 Let us hang fowery wreath, Remembering the happy hours we've spent
 With some who are laid beneath. These fragrant flowers which to-day we spread Upon the graves and monuments of our hon
 cred dead @ Are tokens of gratit nation given To those brave souls whom we trust are nov in Heaven.
 Flowers are typical of Gods purity and love They represent the beauty of that brigh

 Where everything is beautiful, and pure, ant free,

N. Y. Mail and Express The lower house of the Illinois legislature has recent ly passed stringent bill to prohibit the manufacture and sale of adulterated dairy products in that state.
 The dairy interests of Illinois are already very large, and they are increasing with great rapidity. It was their representa- tives who demanded the passage of this bill, which makes it unlawful to expose for sale, or to offer on the table at any place where food is sold, any oleomargarine or s'filled cheese" unless the same is duly and plainly labeled with it's real name.
 The Illinois measure is one that is cal culated to protect not only the interests of the dairymen and farmers throughout the state, but also the health and physi- cal well-being of the urban residents of Illinois. Adulterated food is one of the great abominations of the latter half of the nineteenth century, and it should be done away with as much as possible.
 "Tve known the time," said Superin- tendent Powell of the Geological Survey, sswhen aluminium was more precious than gold. Then it fell to $8 per pound; now it is $2 yer pound. When it reaches 8 cost of twenty five cents per pound it will be generally used. It is about as light as oak wood, four times as light as iron, and has more resistance than the very best steel. It will be used in the construction of houses, superseding wood and stone or brick. It will take the place of iron and wood in shipbuilding. Just think of a ship constructed of metal that will but just sink in water. The ocean steamer of to-day built of iron and wood win be as a canal boat compared toa vessel construct of aluminium. Such 8 one will fly as a bird over the waves
