MYSTERIOUS NEW YORK FIRE.

New York had a mysterious fire the
other day, which attracted the attention
OF a multitude of people, and for short
time blocked travel and traffic on Broad
way An old linden tree near the Rec
tor street side OF Trinity church yard.
began TO emit volumes of smoke. and in
a minute more a tongue of flame shot
up out of the hollow trunk and ignited
the scant foliage and old twigs. What
started the tree to blaze up is a matter
OF guesswOrk, but no doubt 1t was
caused by spontaneous combustion. The
old tree, or what is left of the original
trunk, is only twelve feet high, and
long ago all else but the trunk and
what remains of the old roots under the
ground have disappeared

THREE PRECEDENTS FOR
GENERAL WOODS RISE

In point of fact the rapidity OF Maj
Gen. Leonard Woods rise in the serv-
fee is not unprecedented in army annals.
There can be no time more fitting than
the present to correct so false an in-
preston.
The interval between 1860 and 1855 az
fOrds no less than three striking prece-
dents-precedents. indeed. that leave a
margin OF conservatism and restraint TO
the credit of the Wood incident. Ulysses
Simpson Grant rose IN three years from
the rank of colonel to the supreme COM
mand. next to President Lincoln. OF the
entire Union army. Philip Henry Sheri-
dan was captain in 1851 and a major
general before 1855. Promotions came so
fast to William Tecumseh Sherman that
a major generals rank was his in less
time than IL took. some forty years later.
