Fire in the Newark Celldloid Works
and neighboring buildings at West Scott
and Darcy streets. Newark. n. j.. did
fully 100000 damage. Owing to the in
nammable nature of the contents of the
factory the fire was intensely hot. The
fire started in the converting department
of the big building and spread with great
er rapidity than had the building been oil
soaked. Ten minutes after the flames
started they had the larger portion os the
works in their grasp and in a few minutes
began to leap TO other buildings, some of
them filled with families, who were
watching the fire. Most of the surround
ing buildings were three stories high and
were occupied by people working in the
factory. They were rescued with diff
Guilty, but most of them lost all their
household goods. The flames wore con-
fined to the block bounded by West Scott,
Darcy, Magazine and West Foery streets.
The contents of the cellulod works, to-
gether with the building, are believed 10
be totally ruined. Fourteen persons were
injured and taken to hospitals. Twenty
five buildings were more or less burned.
Nearly all were of frame, from two to
four stories in height. The loss on the
buildings is placed at 100000 and the
loss to the occupants of the houses is Civ
en- at $4,000.

SCHOONER WlNSLOW LOST.

Wrecked Near the Wn,ts Shoas. or MacSi-
nav Crty-H.r Crew Safo
The schooner Winslow, in tow of the
steamer Inter Ocean, was lost near the
White Shoals. The crew of the schooner
arrived at Mackinaw City, Mich, on
board the Inter Ocean, having been taken
off the lost boat with the greatest diff
Guilty, as the wind was blowing a gale
from the southwest and heavy sea was
rnnning.. The steamer and consort We're
coming down the straits when the gale
proved too much for the Winslow. Water
began to pour into her hold and the ves-
sci soon became nnmanageable. The
steamer then engaged taking off the crew
in the big sea running. All were gotten
off in safety, and for two hours the
steamer lay within sight of the abandoned
boat. At the end of that time the hull
WAS nearly out of sight and its sinking
was only question of a short time. The
lost vessel was owned by Peter Wex and
was worth $4,000.

pursuers and made one of the fiercest
charges of the war. The Confederates
were driven back. In the midst Of the
Federals the boy resumed his drum,
and every time the beats rose above the
din of battle the cheers went up from
thousands of throats in blue. He was
the hero of the day.
After the war President Grant made
him his special ward. in recognition of
his bravery. He had him appointed
postmaster of the House of Representa-
tives, and undertook to teach him math-
ematics and otherwise prepare him for
West Point. When he thought the boy

jected him to very fine examination
and he was rejected. The following
day Grant commissioned the drummer
boy to the regular army with the rank
of lieutenant. After being commission
ed he resumed his studies under Gen.
Doubleday, who, it will be remembered
was in Fort Sumter serving under
Major Anderson when that officer sur
rendered to the Confederacy.
Major Glen is as brave as hon,''
said Major O'Leary, as he concluded
this story, land although he is best
known because of his conduct at Shi-
loh, he performed one act after he be-
came an officer which of itself is suffi-
cient to command admiration. He was
on board United States frigate when
the soldiers mutinied. The situation
of the others on board was critical in
the extreme. The days of pirates We're
not yet gone, and it was feared that the
mutineers would kill those on the ship
and turn the man-of-war into marau-
der While the bravest on board were
discussing the situation, Glenn drew his
sword and walked into the midst of the
mutineers.
"T'n give you five minutes to lay
down your arms he said, as he BRAN
dished his sword, and if there Is man
of you at the end of that time who has
not complied I'll kill him. Overawed
by his threatening words, the men laid
down their arms. Then Clem had them
placed in irons and brought to the near
est port for trial"

providing that hereafter the nominations

ing D,,d ia s Wealth
Benjamin Hardin of Amity, Mo-, a sec
tion hand, found fortune in hut where
had lived and died a hermit. This is al
legged in a warrant which caused his ar
rest. The hermit was Louis Bermond,
and. SO far as known. he had no relatives
or heirs, and it is alleged that shortly
after his death Hardin began search
about the hovel for money and was re-
warded. He said nothing about his find,
but considered the money as his. 1t is
claimed by the prosecuting attorney that
Hardin is not entitled TO the money; that
he has no legal right to it, and that it be-
longs to the State. Hardin denies that
he has Bermond's money and says the
money he has been spending and investing
was left him by Viiginis relative.

been granted divorce from his girl wife,
Dora Richardson Clay, by Judge Scott
of the Madison Circuit Court.
The decree restores the defendant to
her maiden name, Dora Richardson.
The suit for divorce was filed several
weeks ago, and as it was not contested by
the defendant every effort was made to
hurry it through the courts.
No reference was made to alilony, as
it was understood by the attorneys and
the Court that Gen. Clay had already
made ample provision for his wife by the
purchase OF large and productive farm
near her old home. The marriage con

CUBANS READY TO WORK.
They Are Laying Down Arms to Get
Something to Eat.

The first voluntary surrender Of arms
on the part of the Cubans since the Amer
leans occupied Santiago occurred last
week, when 200 men belonging to Gen.
Cebreco's division turned their arms over
to Gen. Lawton. The men said they were
hungry and desired to go to work. The
band was composed of whites and ne
groes. Gen. Lawton put the men to work
on the water front, paying them in ra
tions. He told them he could not pay
them in money. Hunger, as well as in
action, was having its effect on the Gu
bans. They have no commissariat. forage
is scarce, and living off the country which
another army has picked clean IS no easy
task. Gen. Lawton has sent word to the
Cubans that he will issue rations to all
who surrender their arms, but he will not
consider applications from men with arms
in their hands.
