Big business Blocks in New York Laid in
Ieuins--Loss 81, 100000.

New York, March ia fire started, NO
one knows how, in the suh- basement OF
the nine-story, mansard-roofed brick and
iron building of Mendel Bros, real estate
men, ON the southeast corner OF Blocker
and Greene streets, about SO o'clock this
evening, utterly ruined it and several adj
joining. buildings east. Over S2,0b0, 600
worth in value rolled skyward in smoke
and flame in less than five hours.
The first and biggest building DESTROYED
(Mendels) was occupied by Alfred Benia-
min " Co, probably the largest manufac-
turers of fine ready-made mems clothing
in the country.
AS big mob as ever massed in the same
amount OF space in New York turned ont
e see the fire, AT first it seemed as if the
liremen would have an easy victory over
the, flames, but the whole magnificent
building soon blazed like fiery furnace.
A siN-story building adjoining the giant
ON the east end, occupied by NJ. II. Rosen-
stem, ostrich feathers, was the next to sue
cnmb to the flame which then moved on
TO the double brick building owned and
occupied IN part by Hammerslough, Sake
~ company, elothiers, on the third, fourth
NTH, sixth and seventh floors, and by II.
Y. Connect N Company, matters, on the
lower floors.
:, Meantime the fire had extended on the
Greene street side to the six-story 25-foot
front brick building occupied partly by
Rosensteinand partly by Sylvester Levacher
company, manufacturers of hats, cars |
ana furs, and destroyed that structure.

BOnaparte Pretenders.

ROME, March 17.-Prince Napoleon.
death occurred at ITO o'clock this evening
After consultation with the other physi.
clans in attendance, DIR. Bacelli this after.
noon Informed King Humbert that the
end was near. The last agony soon fol-
lowed. Prince Victor, shortly before the
elfd, entered the room in which his father
was dying, but was so overcome with emo
ton that he left the apartment, sobbing
violently.
The Able Puiol said he gave the last
sacrament of the Roman Catholic Church
to Prince Napoleon at 6 o'clock this morn
ing when the latter was in full possession
OF his faculties. The dying man had said
he did not profess the atheistic sentiments
attributed to him; that he was inclined
toward Rousseau's doctrines, and that he
would die like an emperor, adhering to the
principles of the Concordat and fully i'm
htued with the religious sentiments of the
Bonapartes.
The funeral of Prince Napoleon will be
conducted with religious ceremonies The
death chamber has been converted
INTO a mortuary chapel, hung with
black cloth and black velvet. An
altar has been erected against the wall
on one side of the room. The body of
Prince Napoleon will be placed in the
crypt OF the royal mausoleum in the
Church of La Superga, on the Collina
Heights, near Turin.
Yesterday Prince Napoleon received
telegram from Pere Hyacinthe which said.
Dear friend, we all pray for You. God
alone is your support" After reading If
thu. prince remarked. when the moment
arrives shall be quite ready. NV con
science j. perfectly easy" Yesterday he
coniided his last wishes to King Hnmbert.
The dead prince was the second son Of |
Jerome bonaparte, king of Westphalia.
BY virtue Of the decree of the French
senate in 1852. Prince Napoleon became in
1879, on the death Of the prince imperial,
the head of the l'onaparte family and the |
representative of the French throne, When |
the lmperialists offered to him the leader
shlp OF the party, it was with the hope that
u accordance with his convictions in favor
Of q popular form of government, he
would be forced to decline and they could
hen support his son Victor, or a more
popular man.

RumOrs That the Pennsylvania and the

Affairs.
Special Dispatch to Gazette and Journal
| DOVER, March 18.-The committee
upon consideration of that part of the
governors message relating to the juno
ton & Breakwater railroad mortgage
held meeting last night and instructed
James L. Wolcott to prepare report;
but pledged themselves to strict secrecy
until the report shall be presented,
which it is expected will be done this
afternoon.
Meanwhile certain rumors are afloat
which cannot be authenticated. One of
these is that there will be competition
between the Pennsylvania and the Bal
timore g. Ohio roads to secure the mort
gage and thereby secure control of the
eastern railroad system of Sussex. This
story reliable committeeman discredits
entirely. Another story is that the
Pennsylvania company will purchase
the mortgage paying the State 100000
within one year and the balance within
three years.
A notice of Baltimore 6 Philadel-
phia railroad bill sent down by Levi G.
Bird, has been handed in, but the bill

new the Communication tax act of the last
Legislature.
William H. Lee brought down titles
of several Wilmington bills which have
been or are being prepared, among
them the 100000 street loan bill, a bill
to require electric wires to be put under

lation to overhead bridges at B. d P.

Al 3 o'clock Monday night in company
with Miss Florence Crowding who
lives with her mother at No. 405 East
Ninth street, Norman Bull was
practising at a target with an all
rifle in the back yard. He sud
denly left and went upstairs A
few minutes afterwards the report Of d
shotgun was heard. Miss Crowdinr ran
upstairs and was met by the horrible
spectacle OF the young man writing in
agony on the floor and the blood pour
ing from horrible cash in his forehead.
The full charge of the shot gun had
been emptied into his brains. The gun
lay alongside him. He had evidently
with the utmost deliberation stood with
his forehead resting on the mouth of the
barrel, the stock resting on the floor,
and then he freed the trigger with his
foot.
