ANOTHER FIRE AT MAITLAND.
Two Orange Packing, Houses De-
froyed BY the blaze.


Maitland. Fla, March 19-This morning
about an hour after midnight Editor
William Drysdale of the New York Sun,
who with his family Is occupying the
Drysdale cottage opposite Packwood
opera house. sounded an alarm of fire
that reused the neighborhood. He was
burning the midnight oil" when the
sound of fire outside attracted his at
tention, and ne found two orange pack
ing houses nearly opposite in flames.
From the depot southwark there is quite
a space between n and NaHderpoors
packing house. then larger space be-
tween his and the Barlow Bros pack
ing house. ~Nithin a few feet of the lat
ter stands the Adams packing house,
which is separated from the Packwood
opera house. occupied in the lower story
by Heard & Rolls as a packing house,
by an open lot.
Barlow Brothers. packing house, besides
containing an orange sizer and other
things used in packing and shipping
oranges, had stored in it a lot OF fertil-
izer belonging to Alderman Suth and Mr.
Hume. The Adams packing house was
two stories in hight. The Fruit Exchange
of Jacksonville had orange packing ma
terial in the building. consigned TO Foulks
& Wallis. who occupied 1t. They lost their
orange sizer and an the stuff used by
them in operating the packing house
Nothing was saved from either of the
burned buildings.
When discovered the flames had made
too much progress to be stopped, and the
citizens turned their attention to saving
the opera house. BY heroic work with
water buckets the building escaped with
Slight damage from the intense heat. The
depot, Vanderford's packing house and
Stith's stores were protected from flying
cinders by constant watching.
The telegraph poles were destroyed and
the wires burned apart, while the cross
ties on the siding We're badly injured for
some distance. When the fast flyer
train from New York made
it's appearance at about O'Clock
IT was at first afraid 20 attempt a pas
sage so fierce were the flames that swept
across the main track, but after consult
ing the engineer, the conductor ordered
the train back a good distance and max
ing new start the engineer shot through
the smoke and flames like a streak Of
lightning.
1t is impossible to aggregate the losses,
but nearly everything was insured to
such an extent that no one will lose very
heavily. Owing to the freeze neither of
the buildings wifi be missed for at least
two years as the two remaining packing
houses are amply able to transact all the
business that can come here for at least
three years.

Commissioner Erwin this morning dis
missed the case against Calvin E. Jen-
kins, assistant postmaster of Dooling,
Dooly county, who was charged with vio-
lating the postal laws. No evidence was
taken. The case was dismissed on a tech

structed Postmaster Byron at By
romville Dooly county. to keep a monthly
record of all letters that passed through
the Byromville Office from the Dooling
office Instead of Postmaster Byron
making the record himself, he entrusted
the work to a clerk in his store, who was

record. This clerk was not sworn as
witness in the case. In view of the fore
going, Commissioner Erwin dismissed the
case against Jenkins. The alleged dis
crepancy in the count made by the post
master at Byromvile of cancelled letters
from the Dooling office and the report rem
dered by Assistant Postmaster Jenkins
of the Dooling office amounted to about
so per month for several months.

A simple and inexpensive protection
for the manure, such as is illustrated
herewith, is not out of the reach of
anyone, however, and with its use the
manure can be kept safe from all
teaching. The manure is usually
thrown out in heaps by the side of the
barn. A shed roof can be built over
these at small expense. The cut shows
the method of framing the dotted
lines showing the boarding of the
ends. The only mistake likely to be
made is in getting the roof too narrow,
with the result that rains accompanied
by wind may beat in and wash the
outer part of the piles, which will
spread out upon the ground more or
less, even with careful management.
The outer edge of the roof need be
only high enough that cart can be
backed under it, and being thus low
will aid not little in keeping out the
rain; but even with low roof 1 should
want a width of at least twelve feet,
and good gutter upon the outer edge
Let the ground be level under such a
shed roof, or, at most, but slightly
sloping, else the manure will be con-
tinually rolling out from under the
shelter of the roof when thrown out OF
the windows
Where such an arrangement is used,
care must be taken to have the cattle
stalls well lighted from the ends of the
barn.-Webb nSnnell, in n. Y. Trib-
nnR.

would outgrow my trouble, but when they
heard me groaning during my sleep they
became thoroughly alarmed. Medical ad-
vice was sought but to no avail, l grew
rapidly worse and was soon unable to move
about and finally became confined contin-
ually to my bed. The best doctors that could

advertised patent medicines with but the
same result.

She Had Her own Idea of the Appearance
of Gen. Grant.
Gen. Frederick T. Dent, Gen. Grants
brother-in-law, has lately given in the
press some interesting "reminiscences
of the famous general He describes,
in particular, the celebrated scene in
the Mclean house at Appomattox,
where Gen. Lee surrendered.
Gen. Dent was present on this oc-
casion. Gen. Lee and his staff were in
full uniform, faultlessly attired, with
their swords at their sides The con-
federate officers were evidently of the
opinion that they would be called upon
to give up their side arms but they
were not They appeared as if on
dress parade; but Gen. Grant, who had
been up much of the night with sick
headache, wore an undress blouse, and
did not have on sword
The surrender consisted merely of an
exchange of letters. Gen. Grant sat on
one side of a table, and wrote letter
to Gen. Lee indicating the terms of the
surrender. Gen. Lee, sitting on the
other side of the table, received the
letter, answered it, accepting the
terms, and passed it over 20 Gen.
Grant.
This was all. After this the mem
bers of the two stats were introduced,
and chatted as amiably as if they had
| been old friends.
Gen. Grants somewhat careless
attire is indicated by story told by
Gen. Dent. President Lincoln, on one
occasion, had gone with Gen. Grant to
visit one of the battlefelds near the
capital. There were several very dis
tinguished men in the party. Making
a halt for moment, they noticed an
old colored woman peering about, and
Gen. Grant asked her what she
| wanted.
~ wants to see Gineral Grant,
massa," she said.
The rest of the party, somewhat
amused, turned toward the general in
chief.

the woman, smiling.
