The Central warehouse, at the corner
Chicago, H., took fire on Tuesday
morning, aud with its valuable store of
teas and coffee, was burned to the
ground. entailing an estimated loss of
between 81, $50, 900 and 81, 500, 000 As
the water from dozens of engines soaked
down on the contents of the building, the
basement was soon filled with water and
10000 cases of tea began to brew.
Streams of tea gushed from the windows
and doors. The dock for the distance of

the naval officers over the details of the
programme for the celebration of Wash
ingtons Inaugural Centennial in New
York April 30th. According to the pro-

its comparison of the old and new navy,
has been placed in charge of retired
army officer.
Secretary Window states that he has
not got the heart to ask for the resigna-
ton of Gen. Rosecrans, the present Reg
istrar of the Treasury. He gives as his
reasons that it would be an act of in
gratitude to ask for the resignation of
such picturesque figure in American
history, to retire from an office simply
because the opposition party was tri-
umphant at the last election. He says
that Rosecrans' Services during the War
entitled him to the highest recognition,
and that his place in American history
should not be looked upon from politl-
cal standpoint. but from patriotic one. !"

mated ON Wednesday in scene in the
rotunda of the Riggs house. Armes

words pulled the nose of Governor Bea-
yer, of Pennsylvania. The governor was
not hurt, but he was angry, and, steady
ing himself against the hotel counter,
he seized his crutch which served him in
place of one leg left behind during the
War, and aimed an ugly blow at his enc
my. Armes lodged the blow and it
struck one of the pillars of the hotel ro-
tunda. A second blow also missed its
mark, and the hotel policeman rushed
