FOUR BUILDINGS COLLAPSE.
Old Land Marks at Detroit Took a
Sudden Tumble.


Detroit, Mich, Jan 20.-Four old
time buildings on Jefferson avenue,
occupying frontage of So feet and
cornering On Shelby street, collapsed
Sunday night at o'clock, carrying
with them $175,000 worth of groceries,
gidves, caps and other Wholesale
stock. A sharp report as of exploding
gas, followed instantly by cloud of
debris and fine dust, which shot across
Jefferson avenue to the opposite side
of the street, was succeeded by the
dull hollow roar Of falling brick ana
the cracking sound of breaking tim
bers.
The collapse is supposed to have
been caused by an. explosion of gas
in the corner building, at 116 Jeffer.
son avenue, occupied by the Maddox
Glove Co. and the Imperial Hat Co.
The losses in stock and buildings
will total nearly 100000.

sewing machine ssws the pattern cards
together and American methods of weaV-
ing are employed. All kinds OF silks.
velvets plain and figured goods are mace
here under the superintendent or the
most skilled workmen, the boys doing the
work themselves with the professional
silk men as overseers.
| visited the Lyons municipal silk
school, on the Croix Rouse, after going
through the silk factories of that neigh
borhood. This scnool is sustained by the
city and is open only to Lyonnese youths.
ANY Lyons boy who has reached the age
of Is can enter upon the payment OF
Sl73 and learn all about silk weaving,
designing and pattern making. The
course of day study is ten months. and
there is in addition night school, IN
which a course of three years is required.
There are about 800 pupils in this school.
They belong to the rich and the poor,
many of them being the sons of common
laborers Everyb ody has to keep diary
OF his work. with the patterns of the
silks he has made. and also copies of
his designs The school teaches all mat
tiers about the breeding of silk worms as
we'll as all kinds of weaving and de-
signing. The professor in charge, kind
looking old Frenchman, wearing skull
cap and rough clothes took me through
one department after another. lac IA
troduced me to some of the students, aud
had them work at the looms before my
eyes. The boys were as intelligent as
those of the average college of the United
States.
How Lyons Built Up it's Silk Trade.
These technical schools of Lyons show
that the people are trying to regain their
oil in nf
the world Similar schools should be es-
tdblished at Paterson, and otherwheres
in our country. and the silk worm indus
try of the South, now in it's infancy,
should be encouraged.
The wonderful silk manufactures OF
France originated through the encourage
ment of the silk trade by the French mon
archs of the past 1t was not until the
fifteenth century that much silk weaving
was done. Before that time the best OF
the silks came from Italy, the finest of
silks, satins, veivets and other cloths
being woven near Venice. Lyons, how
ever, was a great fair city. and many
Italian silks were brought here for sale
Then Louis XXI. imported Italian weavers
and along about forty years after the dis
covery of America Francis l. induced
many of the Italian weavers to settle at
Lyons by guaranteeing them exemption
from taxation, free lodings and the right
to carry swords as we'll as immunity
from Imprisonment for debt. In one way
or another he brought silk weavers from
Genoa. Florence, Lu@ca and Venice. AMI
thus founded this business, which has
done much to make France rich The in
dustry thrived until the persecution of th1
| Huguenots drove more than 100000 of the
most skilled of the French artisans on:
of the country and IN a few years reduced
the number of looms from 10000 to less
than 10000. The Protestant weavers es.

to Fort Pickens was distinctly heard at
our battery. Torches were applied to the
tents and arbors of seaweed, to the COM
missary and other buildings near the
camp. This so lighted up the island that
we could plainly see the movements of
our troops from the main land. The
Yankees were gone. Daylight soon came
and at the same time there advanced
from the rear portals of Fort PlckenS a
long column of Federals. Our men, eX
hausted by the exertions of the night,
slowly began their retreat to the steamer
Times and barges The enemy pressed
them and they were several times COM
PEELED to halt form line and push back
their assailants. At this juDcJure Gem
eral Bragg sent over the steamer Ewing
with reinforcemcnt5, who took the place
of our tired soldiers and drove the enemy
down the island in confusion. The troops
then re-embarked and landed at Pensa-
cola. In the afternoon General Bragg,
under flag of truce, brought away his
killed and wounded from the island, the
total loss being about thirty. Among the
former were Captain Bradford of the
Florida regiment and Lieutenant Nelms
of a Georgia regiment. Out of honor to
these officers. by order of General Bragg
| the steamer Times was called the Brad
| ford and the Ewing he helms.
Owing to this unpleasantness the regi-
| ment had to move its camp about half
mile in rear and out of sight of the
enemy. We then began the erection of
wooden barracks for Winter quarters
along the depression in the immediate
rear of the PeIote battery.
On the morning of November % 1861,
as the Bradford was steaming down to-
wards the navy yard, Fort Pickens open
ed fire upon it. This was the signal for
a general attack on our lines, and in a
few minutes cannon were belching forth
flame and iron from every portfolio of
Fort Pickens and every battery along
the island. The former had more guns
than all the Confederate forts and bat
teries combined, but 1t had to divide its
attack along range of four miles, while
the whole Confederate lines concentrated
on it alone. Fort McRae was the weakest
| of all our defenses and yet the most ex-
| posed, both to the fleet and Fort Pick
ems. Its gallant commander Villipigue,
with his Georgia battalion had, however
strengthened it all he could with sand
| bags.

Cardiff Giant Fraud.

Brooklyn Eagle.
One of the most amusing and ingenious
fakes" is recalled by the death of George
Hull of Binghamton. Probably no reader
of this will recognize Hulls name, but
everybody of middle age has either heard
of or seen the Cardiff giant" which
was toured over the country in the early
seventies as a petriiied prehistoric man,
found at Cardiff, In this State. Scientists,
like those now assembled in Manhattan
to study the antiquities of this continent,
discussed it learnedly and it received an
amount of serious consideration in maya
zines and newspapers which the wonders
~ the Snowman cannot now secure, with
al the ingenious arts of the press agent.
The modern press agent achieves head
line stories, which every reader under
stands to be Il part of the boom" and
dismisses with n tolerant smile. But the
Cardiff giant was taken with a serious
ness which seems remarkable, in view of
the fact that this supposed ''petrifaction"
reproduced the softly rounded flesh of the
body which must have disappeared be-
fore petrifactlon began. 1t even had 4
good imitation of the pores of the skin
wrought In the soft gypsum of which the
massive figure was carved.
This figure was the invention of Hull,
an ingenious Yankee, who earlier invent
cd the modern harness buckle, nut sofa
out too soon to make his fortune. Huh
got into a dispute with a minister over
Goliath and conceived the idea of foolng
the world with the figure OF giant sup
posed to have come down from the early
ages. He shipped thurslock of stone from
a gypsum, bed near Fort Dodge, Ia, 10
Chicago. where, with the aid OF an Ital-
ian named Sala, he fashioned the figure
of a man. There was none of the sculp-
tors art about the figure. Realism was
aimed at. and to secure it, the designers
initiated the pores OF the skin with needle
holes and gave an appearance Of age with
an acid bath. The giant Weighing two
tona was shipped East as machinery
buried near Cardiff and afterward dug up
and exhibited until Hun had made S20@l
from it, He afterward lost that money and
died as obscurely as if he had not per
petrated the massive fraud or invented
the useful harness buckle.

interment These were our firss Lessons
In war. How deeply we mourned the loss
of companion then. These scenes Of
sorrow so impressive n. arst eventually
lost all their force amid continuous con-
fiict, carnage and death.
p Confederate troops had been constantly
arriving at Barrancas until by the LIST
of June we had eight or ten thousand.
Federals had also been busy recruiting;
Colonel Brown with requirements had
superseded Lieutenant Slemmer in com
mand of Fort Pickens: Billy Wilson's
regiment of New York Touaves had gone
into tents half a mile above Fort Pickens
on the island; batteries In front of us
were being constructed. till, fellow
feeling apparently prevailed between
friend and foe as each, under the guns
of the other, were allowed to bask IN
the NOR ring and evening breeze without
molestation. The Yankees first broke the
peace. Selecting DARK night they cap
tured and burned our little patrol boat,
the Judith, lying out in the harbor. Not
content, they shortly afterwards surprised
the guard at the navy yard, burned the
dry dock and made good their escape.
This ugly behavior called for correc-
ton. Accordingly, General Bragg fitted
out a detachment of about fifteen hun
dred men made UP by details from the
and Colonel Chalmers in command and
left the rest to them. The Talladega
Rifles and Wilcox Blues represented the
First Alabama. Marching to Pensacola
the expedition embarked on the steamer

end larded the troops On the north side
of the island about a. m. on the morn

billy Wilson'S ZorIvns camp, about five
miles above which the troops were landed.
The plan was to advance stealthily down
the island, capture the pickets and sur
price the camp. This was successfully
done. and the Confederates were opening
by platoons upon the camp before the
Zouaves were aware OF their presence.
This was about a. nj. The rebel yell
was raised which was instantly responded
to by the Confedecates from the navy
yard to Fort McRae. who, with eager
expectancy, had remained awake all night
to witness the battle. There was the
widest CONSERVATION in the Yankee
camp. Many of the enemy were killed
and wounded, few were captured, more
escaped through ting darkness of the
night. The sound of horses hoofs run
ming with full speed down the plank road
