which that about fifty gentlemen, including four
college presidents, about dozen college professors
and members Of various professions, among whom
were several distinguished lawyers. clergymen AMI

this important movement The result OF this meeting
that the Legislature chartered this university,
giving it all the powers such Institutions usually
possess.
The stately building erected for the accommodation
OF this school on Washington Square has long been
of the most familiar landmarks of New-lOrk.
Forty thousand dollars paid for the lot. which IS
worth probably 100000, and $15O0O0 for the
building. Here the university found its permanent
home in 1897, with a Chancellor and eight or ten
professors Among those in this early list were some

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Nfu.t Elect Two senator..

JACKSON, January 15.-The Legisla-
ture, which convenes In this city Tues
day after the first Monday in January,
1892, will choose a successor for both
Senators George and Walthall. The
State press Is we'll advised Of the George
vacancy, but nobody, even here at the
capital, had thought the next Legisla-
ture would have to name Walthalps
successor. The necessity arises in this
way: Senator Walthall's term expires
March 3, 1895. Under the old Constitu-
tion the Legislature assembled bienni-
ally. The new Constitution provides
for the election Of Legislature next
November, which shall convene in Jan
uary, 1896. This Legislature will hold
two sessions before its successor Is
chosen, one beginning Tuesday after
the first Monday In January, 1892. The
other two years thereafter. Section IA,
Acts of Congress, 1878, provide that the
Legislature OF each State chosen next
preceding the expiration OF the time OF
which any Senator was elected to repre-
sent such State in the Federal Congress,
shall, on the second Tuesday after the
meeting and organization, proceed to
elect Senator to Congress. Mississippi,
therefore, in voting for members of the
Legislature and State Senators this fall,
virtually cast her votes for two United
States Senators.

GREAT FIRE.
A Large Carpet Mill Near Philadelphis
Destroyed.

Large Carpet Mill Near Phfladelphla
Destroyed.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17.-Fire broke
out at 1890 o'clock in the carpet mill of
John and James Dobson at Falls of
Schuylkill, a suburb of this city. The
carpet mill was located in the center of
a group of six mill buildings, each from
five to seven stories high, and compris-
ing one of the largest establishments of
its kind in America.
At a. m. reports received by tele-
phone were that the large mill had
burned to the ground and that two
other mills were on fire. People living
near the scene were moving their furni-
ture and Dobson's employees were car
rying goods from their other mills.
At 1:30 a. m. the six story carpet and
plush mill was completely destroyed,
as were also the wool storage ware
house and Brussels carpet mill. The
fire was still burning fiercely, but was
thought to be under control
The loss will probably be $500, 900 to
s7O0, 900. The buildings destroyed were
those known as the main building, a
six-story structure of stone, containing
the spinning, combing, ingram and
printing departments. A secondary
building, four stories high, containing
the motive machinery for the mills, the
burling and weaving departments, the
offices of the firm and several outlying
small buildings.
