CITY POST OFFICE FURNITURE.
No Appropriation Has Been Made.
Electric Lighting.


Electric Lighting.
Acting Secretary Spaulding of the Treas
TRY Department is in correspondence with
the Postmaster General with regard to the
furniture required for the new post office
building in this city. Over a year ago an
estimate was submitted to Congress for
furniture for this building amounting to
$4,000 but SO far Lao attention has been
paid to the matter, and there is now no
provision for that important portion OF
the equipment Of the building. Since then
Congress having ordered the transfer of
the Post Office Department to the building
1t has become necessary to revise the
original estimate for furniture. Although
not settled, it is believed that it will cost
nearly 100000 to furnish it. Inasmuch as
the building will hardly be completed be-
fore next July at the earliest, it is not
likely that Congress will be called upon to
act in this matter until It's next regular
session, beginning in December next
Mr.. Hills, assistant superintendent of the
Treasury Department, is making arrange
ments for the installation of an electric
light plant in the new city post office build
Ing. He is preparing The necessary plans
and specifications for the work, and will
advertise for proposals within the next
thirty days. The sunlry civil appropria-
ton bill, passed at the present session of
Congress. appropriated SS5,Vo0 for the cleo
trio lighting of the building.

Hiram Lodge, No. q, A. F. and A. NJ.
Winchester, Va, where President Mckinley
was made Mason, toward the close of
the war, has had some beautiful views
taken and sent to the President These
views show the exterior Of the old building
In which the lodge was located, and the
interior of the lodge rooms, including a
photograph Of the old wooden stairway
which the President trod to reach the
lodge room. The building is two stories
high. The first floor is now used for a.
barber shop and restaurant. The lodge
now has more pretentious quarters, but
the photographs are more interesting to
the President than would be pictures of the
new building. The photographs are bound
In the finest morocco, and are in one book
Some time ago a delegation from the
lodge came here to invite the President
to renew his acquaintance with winches-
ter by attending the fair there this fall
The President may attend. A beautifully
bound copy Of the photographs was also
sent to Secretary Porter Two of the
members of the delegation assisted in the
initiation Of the President.

London. Nov. 81. 49,. One of the most
since the great fire of 1866. broke out
In large block of buildings living
eastward of Aldersgatc street. The
flames were famed by strong wind
and were fed by highly infiammable
stocks of Christmas fancy goods and
flimsy dress materials of all deScrip-
lions that filled every floor of the six
story buildings in the old street Con
sequently the conflagration gained
Roadway with surprising rapidity and
was soon far beyond the possibility Of
being checked 10y the few engines
which We're early on the spot For
four hours and half the flames had
their own way, and it was only after
more than Il hundred engines had
worked an hour that the chief of the
fire brigade sent out the signal that
the fire was under control. The fire
Is still the scene of great excitement.
Fifty engines are playing upon the
ruins. wagons are hurrying up coal and
tons of water are pouring into the fiery
debris. Thousands of people are try

by thousand policemen, reinforce

an increase in the outbreak led Com
mander Wells To Iaaae n requisition
for more engines upon the outlying
stations.
The scene must occupy the fire brig
ade for several days. especially in view
of the grave danger Of the collapse of
shells of buildings which fall now and
again with = loud report The latest
accounts indicate that nearly 100
warehouses have been destroyed.
while the loss will probably exceed f5,-
100000 pounds. Several firemen were
almost buried in burning ruins, as
front after front of the flaming ware
houses fell in. hurting tons of bricks
and masonry into the streets, bursting
and cutting the fire hose in all direc-
tions. while tons of fiery matter were
falling in every direction. making it
impossible to foresce where the con
fagration would stop, as roof after
roof caught fire and window frames
all about the scene began to smoke
The fire had its origin i'm a ware
