As there was no stove or heating apparatn3 where the fire originated in the west end of the storeroom, the conclusion that it was the work of an incendiary is unavoidable. Tlie mills and machinery cost over SIOO,OOO, and there was probably that amount of material in it. There was SBO,OOO insurance on the building and machinery, and $15,000 on stock and material. The destruction of these works, which have not been running over nine months, throws 225 men out of employment.

Joliet, 111., Dec. 29. —A thrilling midnight adventure took place last night on the night Rock Island passenger-train just before reaching this city, iu which a little four-year-old girl in a state of somnambulism was the central figure. Mrs. Wesley Simmons, of Fairbury, Neb., accompanied by her two little daughters, Mabel and Grace, the former six and the latter four years old, were on the train en route to Joliet. They had retired to their berth in the sleeping-car, and were soon asleep. Shortly after midnight the mother awoke, and was horror-stricken to find that little Grace was missing. She was not in the car. Just as hope sank, in the heart of tlie grief-stricken mother the conductor entered the ear. The mother clasped the child to her bosom and then fainted with joy. In her sleep little Grace had got up and gone out of the car door, crossed into tlie next and on into the third car, when tlie conductor met her. He asked her where site was going. Receiving no reply, the fact dawned upon him that she was asleep. He caught her by tlie artu and woke her up, when she gazed about in astonishment, inquired for her mother and then began to cry. Tlie conductor conveyed her to the sleeper, and the joy which came to that mother’s heart when the daughter, whose little form she had imagined lay mangled somewhere on the icy track, may better be imagined than expressed.

A moment before stepping into a back-room, where the deed was committed, he was in a good humor, and chatting pleasantly.. Later particulars concerning the mysterious death on Wednesday of the Rev*. John Ritter, the German Methodist, minister at Decatur, are to the effect that he died of apoplexy. A note was fonnd in his pocket which read: “I have taken morphine; n<‘bo ly to blame,” led the people to believe that be had committed suicide, but the inquest failed to reveal any indication of poison, though a post mortem was not made. At Wetang, Joseph Dodson, visiting a family named Bryant, stepped outside the door, and discharged four loads from bis revolver. Supposing none remained, he handed the weapon to Miss King, laughingly remarking, “Now you can shoot me, if you wish.” She said, “Ail right,” and seizing the pistol, pointed it at tlie head of Dodson, pulled the trigger, and sent a bullet crashing through his brain, killing *him instantly.

DELIBERATE MURDER. . A Tennesseean Hills a Lady Attendant of His Sick Wife. Dover, Term., Dec. 30.—A murder was committed near here yesterday morning by Josish Cook, who Has been sick several days with pneumonia. Ou Friday night his wife gave birth to a child, and yesterday morning he seut for Mrs. Glasgow, a near neighbor, to come and dress the baby and administer to the wants of his sick wife. Mrs. Glasgow immediately prepared a basket of food suitable for sick folks, and set out for Cook’s house. Mr. Glasgow, who had business in Dover, accompanied her as far as Cook’s, telling her he would call for her as he returned. He had been in Dover about an hour when the news of his wife's murder reached'him. An eve-witness of the murder says that shortly after Mrs. Glasgow arrived at Cook’s he began to abuse her with the most opprobrious epithets, telling her she had come there to poison him and charging that the basket of dainties she had so kindly provided for him and his sick wife was poisoned. She assured him that such was not the case, which seemed to enrage him the more, and without further warning he jumped out of bed, seized his gun and discharged its contents into his would-be benefactress, killing her instantly. Immediately after the murder Cook put on his clothes and left the house. Sheriff Bufford, with a posse of determined deputies, went in hot pursuit, and returned just after dark with the murderer Cook, whom he captured near Beaver Spring furnace. Cook is now safely lodged in jail, and will likely remain there till court convenes next April. There are some who think Cook is laboring under a temporary fit, of insanity. This will probably prevent his being lynched. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. Several Printing and Lithographing Establishment, burned, Entailing a Luge us £500,000.

Although the editor dos3 not regard Titus Andronicus legitimately Shakespeare’s, he has included it in his hand-books of that author out of deference to the opiuions of some few wbo maintain that the great dramatist composed it. Mr. Rolfe gives his reasons for declaring that Shakspeare simply revised the tilay, and with the copious annotations makes a very conclusive argument in support of his position.

Barnuru, based on the purchase of Jumbo. The great beast having lost the power of attracting the people, the American showman is represented as cabling for some greater attraction. In response to this the notables of England are trotted out as so many monstrosities or curiosities in the shape of specimens for menageries, aquariums. etc. All is done in verse, and is doubtless a very funny piece of business in England. Macmillan’s for December contains a “True statement of the Mathusian principle,” “Genius and versatility,” “Vox populi, the cynic’s version,” "Two books on Egypt,” etc. Swinton’s Story-teller contains seven short new stories, very acceptable as affording means to pass an idle hour agreeably. . The Magazine of American History, for January, appears with anew cover in red and black, and presenting a very good appearance. The matter furnished in. this periodical is valuable for all time, as presenting historical facts not accessible in books of history. The illustrations and paper are of the finest, and the hooks will make handsome bound volumes. J. 8 Ogilvie & Cos., New York. (31 Rose street, > have begun the publication of a monthly, entitled “Ogilvie’s Fopular Reading.” Price, 30 cents; $3.50 per year. It is made up of several complete stories, besides a quantity of miscellaneous matter representing every kind of polite literature. It contains 202 pages. The last'Littell contains an interesting sketch of Robert Browning, by Roden Noel, from the Contemporary Review. The illustrations in the current Continent are a feature creditable to the publishers of that magazine. The Private Detective. Now York World. The detective population needs thinning out. About three private detectives to every married man and woman in the community would be a safe proportion, and it should not be allowed to run over that, for the simple reason that when three-fourths of the population undertake to detect each other confusion ensues. It is a pretty safe thing to say that the average private detective when put upon a job is followed by two other private detectives, who are instructed tb work him up. How many are on the heels of the last two official statistics do not permit us to know. The sad prospect of an entire community “working up a job” on itself should be delayed as iong as possible, and yet if the production of private detectives goes on this is what we must come to. Reasons for a New State Constitution. Philadelphia Press. Indiana is talking about revising its constitution. The present instrument is over thirty years old, and is far behind the times in many respects. A reform in the judiciary branch ot the government is noted as especially necessary. This fact was made evident to the whole country in 1880, when a Democratic judge, who had voted against the constitutionality of a law, hurried from tlie court-room to tell the politicians to telegraph the decision to the “boys,” then in convention at Cincinnati nominating a Democratic presidential candidate.

STARTLING DISCLOSURE. Over $20,000 Lost—An Old Pioneer’s Statement. How a Fortune Was Spent in t ain -An Eventful Career—ltencued at Lust. San Francisco, Cal.—The Daily Chronicle publishes the following editorial communication from Captain W. F. Swasey, the oldest pioneer in San Francisco, a gentleman well known throughout the coast, which wiil be self-explanatory; Editor of the Chronicle—Sir: Anything concerning the history of an old Californian, especially if be is extensively and favorably known throughout the Pacific coast, never fails to attract attention, but when the circumstances attending his career are of such a peculiar character that a knowledge of them will benefit the public at large, the imparting of such knowledge becomes not only a pleasure, but a duty as well. Therefore, the writer deems the following brief sketch not only eminently proper, but also feels confident that it will prove deeply interesting and beneficial to the thousands wbo will read it. Colonel D. J. Williamson, the subject of this letter, entered the Union army in 1861 as regimental quartermaster of the Fourth California Infantry, and in -1803 he was appointed by President Lincoln, captain quartermaster of the United States Army. He served with distinction to himself and honor to the government until 1867, at which time he left the military service and became a prominent operator in stocks it- an Francisco. . In this business he continued until 1870, when he received from President Grant the appointment of United States consul at Callao, Peru. In 1874 he was appointed by President Grant consul at Valpniraiso, Chili, and also charge d’affaires of that republic, which latter positions lie was compelled by ill-health to resign in 1878. In the winter of 1861-2, a winter that was unusually inclement, while on military duty at Sacramento, Colonel Williamson was obliged to sleep in tents, and then first contracted the terrible scourge of rheumatism, from which he at times suffered excruciating pain, although he was not incapacitated from duty. After he bad Ipft the service and entered upon business pursuits, the disease pertinaciously clung to his system, although he resorted to the most eminent medical advice and to every known remedy for relief. When he arrived in Peru, whore rheumatism is very prevalent, the disease assumed a still more virulent type and his suffering became so utterly intolerable that he was obliged to submit to the application of hypodermic injections of morphia, frequently administered as often as twenty-five times in twenty-four hours. He visited tlie famous baths of that country without avail, and when lie reached Chili, resorted to tlie baths Coquenes and afterward to the baths on the summit of tiie Andes, whirli latter are celebrated throughoutthe world for their efficacy iu the cure of rheumatism. He still found no relief,, however, and in 1878 liis knees and lower extremities became so powerless from the disease, that he was obliged to r sign his position and return to’California. He at once repaired to the Paso Robies springs, in Sail Luis Obispo county, where he received but slight temporary relief, tiie malignant complaint continuing to torture and rack his frame, almost without cessation. From 1878 until within about two months, h® lias been totally deprived of the use of liis lower limbs, being absolutely unable to perform tlie most simple physical act, without assistance. Some six months ago he was induced by hisfriend, Ferdinand Vassault, Esq., secretary of the California Pioneers, to try St. Jacobs Oil. It is fortunate lie did so. for today, after long years of hit use agony’ and utter prostration, tie is able To walk about with comfort and without the aid of either cane or crutches. He lias discontinued all medical treatment and the use of ail narcotics, and he gratefully and most emphatically attributes this happy result solely to tlie use of Sr. Jacobs Oil. Tiie writer of this letler, having himself been a sufferer from rheumatism, and having been thoroughly cured by the same remedy, feels impelled by a sense of duty to afflicted humanity to impart this information to the public. Yours respectfully, W. F. Swasey. San Francisco, Cal. To Captain W. F. Swasey, Pioneer Hall. City—Dear Captain: Having carefully read the foregoing, I cheerfully add my unqualified attestation to the truthfulness of tiie statements contained Iherin. Os course, no language is adequate to convey a realistic sense of the fearful suffering and agony I have passed through in the last eight years, during which time I have expended at least $20,000 for remedies, medical attendance and an enforced residence at different bathing resorts. I cheerfully add this testimony because I feel perfectly certain that a knowledge of my cure by St. Jacobs Oil will prove the means of relieving hundreds of sufferers front the pangs of tlie dreadful disease alluded to. Confident of being soon a-ain able to resume my former active life, I remain always, Your friend, D. J. Williamson. 520 Taylor street, San Francisco, Cal. A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE. The St. Louis, Mo., Post-Dispatch says: “A most remarkable case iias just come to the notice of a reporter of this paper, who, having been informed of the wonderful cure of Mrs. I’hrebe Rice, 1,208 Madison street, a sister of Hon. H. Clay Sexion, chief of the St. Louis fire department, visited tlie lady at her residence. Mrs. Rice made her statement without tlie least reluctance, and said that for the jaast seven years she had been a sufferer from acute inflammatory rheumatism, which had affected the muscles of the hands, contracting them so badly she could not comb her hair, hold a needle or pick up a pin, and rendered the lower limbs so helpless she required crutches to move about. During ten months she was obliged to carry the right hand in a sling. Physicians were called in, but save her only temporary relief. Some time ago one of her children was afflicted with a contraction of the musclesof the lower jaw, which turned her mouth to one side; a few applications of St. Jacobs Oil restored the features to their natural condition, and Mrs. Rice began to look hopefully toward it for her own cure. A single application, she said, made her a firm believer in its virtues, as tiie effect was instantaneous, ami she was greatly benefited. Tlie continued use of it brought her to the happy state in which the reporter saw her, with tlie free use of her limbs, and in perfect health, cured. She was very enthusiastic in her commendations of tlie painrelieving and curative powers of St. Jacobs Oil. which she said had accomplished more for her in a few weeks than all the other remedies the physicians had recommended lti the past seven years. She can now run up and down stairs, she said, and her bands were as useful, in every respect, as they had been before she began to suffer, seven years ago. “God bless St. Jacobs Oil,” tlie good lady exclaimed, as the reporter was about'to leave. Mrs. Rice has lived in this city thirty years, and her statement, worthy of all credence, is fully corroborated by her friends and neighbors, and by her own children, who were fully cognizant of her helpless condition before she began to use the wonderful remedy. /"I |T IJ ,4 I > TJCtril, Advertising In the Y.I 1 11/ V l IjO 1 country is among tlie Wants.
