GREAT FIRE IN BOSTON. • Many IJvwt t.ost—A Speare of Ucsletss HoxiBen ConsDii’d- -I.uss, $4,000,000. Ono of the most destructive ocnflagnttlons In the history of Boston broke out Friday afternoon,and before It was under control, three hours later, several of the most magnificent structures In the city were re - duced t cashes. The tire started In a toy factory in the upper stories of the Ames building. Many of the employes were unable to escape. The flames spread rapidly in spite of the most heroic efforts of the lire departments of the city and county. The militia were called out by Gov. Russell to control the crowd# and maintain order. The number of dead and injured have not been acuratel/ ascertained. The conflagration as viewed from a distance was grand. A great pall of black smoke covered that section of the city, and as darkness came on this was lighted up by the flames, while occasional tongues •:f lire and burning embcrsshotnp volcano like into the ebony mass. In the Immediate vicinity the scene was awful. While the Ames building was burning there were repeated explosions like fireworks mingled with the hoarse shouts of firemen, the puffing oC engines, the crash of falling walls, the rumble from hurrying teams and, the surging of the vast crowds which soon gathered and rushed to and fro in everybody’s way. □ It would ho impossible to narrate ail the events of this exciting night. There wore deeds of valor that arc worthy of a more extended account titan can be given here. CLEVELAND’S APPOINTMENT POLICE. A New Drill -Old Officials Will Not ile lieappointed* In an interview with Senator Mills, Tuesday, President Cleveland emphatically declared that no ox-officer of Ills former administration will bo reappointed to office, except in cases where no (it, person can be found for the place. Senator Mills Immediately conveyed the information to members of Congress, and as>a result, numberless booms were hurried into gripsacks and started for home. Mayor Zollinger. John S. Williams and Eb Henderson, of Indiana, are among the disappointed ones, and the new deal is very unsatisfactory to a large class of Democratic politicians. ___ PLEASURE AT THE CAPITAL. The terrific weather in Washington on inauguration day has resulted in an epidemic of coughs, colds, tonsilitisand quin - sy. Men and women scraped the icy sleet from the reviewing stands and occupied them for hours in the storm to gratify their inordinate curiosity. The most robust men have been stricken down, and physicians have had no rest for days. One prominent physician said to a reporter. Wednesday; “I have not had my clothes off since Sunday night, and have had -too patients since the night of inauguration day. It is astonishing to me that people will run tlie risk of death to see a lot. of soldiers pass by.” DALTON'S SENTENCE. William Dalton, last of the Daiton'gang, 111 court at Independence, Kan.. Wednes-

day,pleaded guilty of murder In thesecond degree for his part In the Coffeyvlllo battle last tali. He was at once sentenced to Thepenltenliary Tor life and in charge o( four officers was taken at once to the State prison. WASHINGTON. Senator Hill called on the President, Thursday. United States Treasurer Mibeker resigned, Monday, and was notified by the President that he would tie relieved at the earliest possible date. It is said that Grover Cleveland has virtually promised that, II nothing turns up within the next four years to alter his In ter.llons, he will take a trip around the world. Secretary Herbert is busy with the preparations for the ttaval- review and the reception of foreign vessels at Fortress Monroe. Congress- appropriated $300,000 for this purpose. The new Cabinet were sworn in at tiro State Department, Tuesday, witii the exception of Secretary Gresham, who took office on Monday, and the first official meeting of tire Secretaries was held at the White House, Tuesday afternoon. Two young ladies from Tuscaloosa college Ala., broke the monotonous proees- ! siorr of office seekers who called on President Cleveland, Tuesday. They were attired in the white silk college gowns with mortar board caps of I lie same material, and presented t he President with an embroidered white silk banner containing the programme of a concert given at the college in honor of Cleveland’s inauguration last Saturday. 1 Postmaster-General Bisseil is accredited with the announcement that no local business men need apply Ifor postoflices under ills administration. Ho objects to commissioning local business men as postmasters for the reason that the actual du - ties are performed by irresponsible and often incompetent, clerks and substitutes. Postmasters under Mr. Bisseil must promise to devote thetrentire time to the work and personally keep strict office hours. Secretary Carlisle, Friday, received offers from Chicago bankers to exchange $3,000,000 ot gold for a like amount of small treasury notes of S3 to $30. Intimations were given that the amount of small notes needed will reach $10,030,000, for which gold will bo paid. The Secretary will forward the small notes at once. The demand for the latter is caused by the opening of the-weather and by the, fact, that cattle and grain are beginning to be moved. The demand comes mostly from the West, and is likely to increase.

The girl, had been to mass and was returning home unattended. Massey, who had been waiting for her, followed her. When the girl had reached a point opposite the entrance to the old Miller estate, Massey was seen to step up near tier and drawing a revolver fire three shots in rapid succession. Tho whole affair came so suddenly upon the eye-witnesses that they w ere for a monent apparently paralyzed and paid no attention to Massey,who after doing tho shooting, did not stop to see tho result, but turned and walked leisurely away. The murderer was pursued, but before he could ho overtaken fired a bullet into his own own brain, from the effects of which he expired in ton minutes. The girl wilt undoubtedly die.

Prof. Totten, who lias achieved som« notoriety by his chronological studies while a professor ot Yale college, while la Now York, Saturday, in an Interview, said: "Many facts assure mo that wo ant at the midnight hour of the Christian dispensation, and I am sure that the seventh angel of the- Savior's revelation (o St. John is soon to sound tho seventh and final trumpet, which lifts tho veil from tho mystery of God, but which is not to be confused with the ‘final trump’, as commonly understood. In splteof misrepresentations to tho contrary, I do not anticipate the end of the world, but the beginning of a new and better dispensation. I anticipate a crisis ‘to-morrow’ and the millanium the day after.’ I expect the first resurrection very soon, but not the second until « thousand years of golden ago have sped away.” He thinks that the Septorabo equinox will usher in the. now era.
