Fire at Los AIamos.

Last night many citizens observed
a bright glare in the heavens in the
direction OF Los Alamos and wondered
what mischief the fire fiend might be
doing. This morning The Optic re,
ceived information that the blaze vas
caused BY a fire in the pastures OF

neglected to put out the fire at which
they cooked their supper. The long
grass was dry as finder, and the
flames, once started, spread rapidly.
A number Of large haystacks and sew
eral buildings were in imminent dan
ger. But every available nan turned
ont, and by the strenuous use Of such
weapons of warfare as slickers, over
coats. boards ct al, managed to save
the valuable property. The old meth
Cd of fighting fire with fire was also

New York Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.--The market
was bound to have been very excited
and strong this morning after the
higher cables, which, considering the
recent advances, were most sensation,
ally strong. Adyices from the south
were also bullish, and right from the
start the market was exceedingly
strong and excited, prices before the
advance was checked ruling 10 to 2S
points net higher. Then heavy real
izing eased the market off from the
top, but continued very active and
excited. 1t would certainly not be
wise to sell this market short. W.
don't think 1t would be wise to fol
low the advance, either. and should
await developments.

THE MT OY BENEFIT.

City Hall Should Be Crowded Tonight With Friends of John McEvoy.
 John McEvoy is blind and may never be able to see again, and that is one reason why everybody who possesses good sight or who can see even the smallest bit should give his or her sympathies to this former popular me- chanic. He never was found wanting when it came to do an act of charity, and that is another reason why the returns tonight should be doubly large. If you cannot attend you can send around a subscription, and it will help to swell the fund for his benefit. There is not a Forester in the city who should not contribute something. and no doubt the majority of them have. There will be a corking good entertain ment, too, and you will be more than satisfied if you attend this evening" All having tickets can return them or the money tonight at the box office.
