The New York Fire.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Part Of a
human body was discovered today in
the ruins Of the Windsor Hotel. 1t was
Il charred and 7hrivelled left knee joint.
There was a strong odor OF charred
flesh perceptible to the twelve hundred
workmen as they toile1 among the hot
ruins. The heat was so great that
progress was very slow. Only in the
southeastern portion Of the building
has any progress been made. 1t is ex-
pected that the bodies will be found
there. Some valuable papers have
been found, some bits of brio a-brac,
some coins and jewelry. A squad of
men uncovered the iron safe Of the
cafe. 1t is now being watched by two
policemen, and will be taken out early
today. So far the known dead num-
Der ten. The number Of missing it is
said is still uncertain; it is estimated
at from forty to fifty. Portions of what
are believed to have been three bodies
were discovered buried under the
debris later in the morning. A human
trunk was found near Forty-sixth
street; near by was a leg and several
pieces of bones. Other bones were found
on the Foriy-seventh street side.
The police this morning gave out q
revised list OF the dead, which showed
that ten persons had died of burns or
injuries received through jumping from
the windows. On Saturday and sun
day the list showed sixteen dead,
he confusion being caused by the
fact that some of the bodies identified
were also on the list as unknown and
were thus counted twice. The police
at noon announce that the charred
limbs and trunks found in the ruins
this morning composed the parts of two
bodies. 1t will be almost impossible to
identify the remains. An unidentified
body was found under the ruins at $50
o'clock this morning, and another body
was found at II o'clock.

TERRIBLE WIND STORMS.

& series ofterrihc wind storms swept
| through portions Of Alabama, Mississip-
pi and Arkansas on Saturday, doing an
immense amount Of property damage
and killing number of people. The
storms covered radius of several hun
dred miles, destroying telegraph wires
and cutting off Communication with q
large part of the affected country. Gle
burne county, Alabama, seems to have
suffered most severely, the storm there
assuming the proportions of tornado.
The reports of fatalities in the county
vary from six to twenty and many more
are said to have been injured.
At Sellers and Luverne, Ala, much
damage is reported and at Rob Roy,
Ark, one man was killed and several
were badly injured.
Dumas, Ark, was practically wiped
out Of existence aud several other towns
in the vicinity suffered severely. One
person is reported killed at Hickory Flat,
Miss, and as the farm houses in the
vicinity suffered heavily, it is not I'M
likely that many fatalities occurred
which have not yet been reported.
a special from Birmingham says
tornado passed over Cleburne county
Saturday night, killing seven and
possibly more people.
A special from Tallsposa, Ga, says:
a cyclone passed over the country be-
tween Hefin and Edwardsville late
Saturday afternoon. 1t is reported that
FIVE we're killed in one family. A pas
senger- on the Southern train which
left Atlanta at p. N. confirms the
news of the cyclone. 1t is said house
near Edwardsville, in which twelve
persons lived was wrecked and nine
out of the twelve killed. Another pas
seneer said he had heard that seven
more we're killed near Helm.
The tornado struck Hickory Flats,
Miss, doing considerable damage to
buildings and other property. The
school building aud two churches were
demolished and twenty-five dwellings
blown down or unroofed. Several
persons received painful injuries. A
family living west of there lost their
dwelling, and young lady was killed.

the storm was from the southwest to
northwest and its track was nearly half
q mile wide.
At Dumas, Arkansas, nearly all the
houses in the town were either blown
down or damaged and several persons
were wounded, but so far as can be
learned no lives were lost.
At Sellers, q small station on the
Plant system, south of Montgomery,
Ala, the whole town except three
houses was destroyed

dictate that in the tornado which swept
over these states yesterday, eighteen
persons were killed outright and forty
three injured, as follows: Alabama,
sixteen killed, thirty injured; Arkansas
one killed, seven injured; Mississippi,
Que killed, ten injured. The property
loss will run into the hundreds of

TOLD TO KILL Two.-Near Good

young planter, went to call on his
neighbor and bosom friend VIM. Harris,
who had been i'll for several months.
While the men were chatting, as
Harris sat propped up in chair in mis-
room, Harris suddenly drew dirk and
plunged it into Gums breast up to

Harris's brother ran iuto the room and !,
after examining the dying man, excited

had killed Gum.
"Yes," replied Harris, ~ know l

THE sanguinary result of q negro
ball in Havana last Saturday night, that
was attended by d large number Of
Cuban officers who assaulted the police,
who were endeavoring to preserve or
der, affords patent illustration OF the
effect of benevolent assimilation"
upon mobile patriots" for whose sake
the white people of this country were
fooled into sacrificing thousands Of the
lives and hundred of millions of the
money Of their own people. If the
poor simpletons who supported the
war were the only sufferers, few would
care, but the wise have to bear their
full share of the needless burden, and
all, too, for almost the sole benefit OF 8
small number of Northern republican

THE OYSTER TROUBLES. - Peter
Rowe, the leader of the negro oyster
men of King and Queen, whom the
county officers of New Kent have been
making fruitless efforts to arrest for al
legged depredations on the leased lands
OF Mr.. Richardson, went to Richmond
on Saturday and had talk with the
governor. Rowe is very intelligent
negro, stands well in that county, and
made a very good impression on the
governor. He says there is 40 doubt
that the place from which ne and his
associates have been taking oysters is
natural rock, and that Judge Dew and
Commemorative Attorney Claggert
Jones both advised them 10 pursue their
work and make up test case. The

setion with Mr.. Jones, who said the ne
groes had no objection to being arrest
ed, provided they are tried in King and
Queen, snd not in New Kent. The
men have offered to surrender them
selves to King and Queen magistrate.
There will be 40 trouble.

STATE MILITIA.

Some very important questions are
likely to arise out of the reorganization
of the State militia. When the various
companies enlisted in the United
States service most of them left con-
siderable property. Perhaps, o MAORI
tv of the men will not re-enlist and
they claim that the new companies VIII
not be entitled to the property left.
Here is question in point: The Dan
Vile Grays left fund in bank which
the soldiers had raised by various meth.
DDS. 1t is claimed that this belongs to
the men who composed the company
before the war. Governor Tyler has
been written to but he is unable to de-
eide whose property it is. He thinks
the courts will have to decide.
Two of the companies ofthe old First
regiment, and perhaps others, will meet
this week for reorganization, and the
results of their meetings will be watch
ed with interest by the volunteers of
the State. Both of these companies
served in the recent war. There is q
good deal of opposition to reorganiza-
ton under the present State law,
which is regarded as Anticipated and
unsuited to present conditions. Both
officers and men feel that the interests
of the service will be advanced by
waiting until the legislature passes a
law calculated to improve and en-
courage the volunteers. There will be
some Dice legal points involved in the
proposed reorganization OF the State
militia.
