Packer, President of the Lehigh Valley

greatly increased.

AN Octhaw Kll/bED.—A letter
dated, Wilmington, N, 0., Dec 27,
says—Andrew Strong, one of the no
torious Lowery outlaws of Scuffletown,
was shot dead by a young man named
Wilson, whom Strong had warned to
leave the place. His body was deliv
ered 'by Wilson to the sheriff, who
immediately paid him a $l,OOO for it,
which is the standing reward by the
county for any of the Lowery gang,
dead or alive. Wilson is also entitled
to $5,000 reward from the State. The
only villain of the gang now alive is
Steve Lowery.
"LET IT BE UNDERSTOOD.”
: “ Lot it bo understood that you are
recognized by the President as the law
ful Executive, of Louisiana, and the
body assembled at Mechanic’s Institute
as’ the lawful Legislature,” were the
words used by Grant’s obsequious At
torney General in writing to the negro
usurper, Pinchbeck, of Louisiana, who
by force of arms, had turned the regu
lar Governor out of office and seized the
office himself. What right, we ask,
has the President to recognize, or ignore
a State government? It is none of his
business. This is a matter that belongs
exclusively to the people of the respec
tive States. He has no constitutional
or other authority to determine which
is not the legal %overnment of a State.
And any assumption of such power is a
direct and dangerous act of usurpation.
If this power is conceded to the Presi
dent, he at once becomes a ’despot.
His authorized minions could as easy
overthrow the government of Pennsyl
vania as Louisiana, which he could
afterward make legal by his official
recognition. The President is’becom
ing a tyrant and a despot with radip
strides.
Grant’s interference in the affairs of
Louisiana is the most unadulterated
treason that was ever attempted.—
With Federal bayonets he ousts the
Governor and the Legislature elected
by the people, and then recognizes the
usurpers who had been defeated by the
people. Indeed, four or five men who
had not even been candidates, were
sworn in as members of the Senate and
House of Representatives ! Several of
these scoundrels and usurpers are Cus
tom House officers, and brother-in-law
Casey is the Collector of Customs. Be
it known 'that there was ho difficulty
at a single voting place in Louisiana
on the day of the election. It was as
quiet and orderly an election as was
ever held in the State. Even the
Radicals admit this, but they say at
the same time in justification of their
present treason, that many of their
friends did not vote “because they
feared violence.” This is the old plea,
and is as base a lie as was ever con
concocted. The only men in danger of
violence in the Southern States on
election day are the white men who
are 1 the opponents of the administra
tion. Of course there is no danger to
be apprehended from the miserable
carpet-baggers, for they are thieves
and thieves are generally cowards, but
these carpet baggers furnish whiskey
and weapons to the brutal and ignorant
negroes, and instruct them not to per
mit themselves to be defeated even if
murder has to be resorted to. The
election in Louisiana, then, we repeat,
was as fair an expression of the people
as can be had in a Southern State. It
resulted ,in a glorious victory for the
Democrats and Liberal Republicans,
who elected their Governor and a ma
jority of the members of Assembly by
triumphant majorities. No sooner,
however, were the returns in and the
result ascertained than the Grantites,
with brother-in-law Casey at their
head, declared that “this must not be ;
we must treat this election as if it had
not been held; at ail hazards we must
stize the State Government.” And
they did seize it, and by the aid of
Federal bayonets they now hold it,
and Grant, instead of rebuking these
audacious couspirators and traitors,
aides with them and. gives them official
recognition ! The New York Herald,
a paper strongly in the interest of
Grant during the late campaign, is
alarmed at the President’s action, and
it appeals to him to retaace his steps at
once. It reminds him that his extra
ordinary action In recognizing the
usurpers at New Orleans is a piece of
despotism that will not be tolerated
much longer. But Grant is either too
stupid, or vindictive, or treasonable, to
heed the words of his most judicious
ffiends, and continues to persist in
“recognizihg”the usurping villains who
have, by brute force, wrested the State
Government from the hands of its duly
elected agents. Words fail us to speak
of this unblushing treassn as it deserves
to be spoken of.
It will be recollected that during the
late political campaign we intimated
that it made little difference whether
Greeley carried a majority of the Elec
tors or not, that Grant would still re
main President, or, more properly
speaking, Dictator. We felt sure, from
certain movements of. the army and
other indications, that Grant was deter
mined to retain his position whether
the people wanted him or not. Ho
would at once have declared himself
Dictator and brought the power of the
array and navy to bear against his
enemies. His recent Qourae is an evi
dence that this was his intention, for
he now takes possession of Louisiana
ond holds It by the power of the bayo
net. He is a tyrant and a traitor, and
God speed the day when he , may re
ceive a traitor’s doom.
The following vigorous and clear re
view of the political situation in Louis
iana from the New Orleans Times, will
be read with interest by all who have
not grown thoroughly callous and in
different to a high handed invasion of
the rights of their fellow citizens in a
distant State, or who have hot become
enamored of lawless negro rule:
CARTHAGO EST DELENDA
It is impossible that the American
people can be kept long Ignorant of the
facts or indifferent to the wretched
condition to which this State and peo
ple are reduced by the recent outrages
perpetrated on them by a corrupt ring
of political adventurers, aided by a
judicial confederate and thearmsof the
United States.
Wo repel, as an undeserved reproach,
thd suspicion and imputation of utter
cold hearted insensibility on the part
of the great mass of our fellow citizens
at the north. What has appeared to ns
in that light is ascribable to a supreme
ignorance of the facts. Justice to them
as well as to our cause, requires that
these facts should be kept before thorn,
distinct and separate from the false and
foreign matter and Issues by which they
have been loaded and confounded.
Let, therefore, the admitted, undis-.
puted and indisputable facts of this
controversy he put and kept before the
people in such form and manner as
will leave them no longer an excuse
for misconception, indifference, or
lukewarmness toward a cause which
involves the most serious results to
republican liberty that has ever arisen
in the history of the republic.
These are the facts:
1. That an election was held for State
officers in this State, on the 4th of No
vember last under the laws of the State
and with the universal admission by
all parties of its fairness and peaceful
ness ; that at such election there were
21,860 more votes received than were
ever polled before.
2. That not a word was uttered in
reference to the fairness of this election
until the result was proclaimed as in
favor of the conservative party in the
State ; that then, a plot was hatched in
the custom house of this city to have
this election set aside and the returns
. so suppressed as to foist into the offices
of the Slate ail the radical candidates*,
and especially an overwhelming negro'
majority in the legislature.
3. To effect this object the Util tad
States district attorney copcocts in a
caucus of federal office holders a bill
in chancery in the name of Kellogg,
alleging that he has been deprived of
ten.thousand votes, which, if they had
been cast, would have been in his fa
vor, and would have given him the,
majority. In support of his allegations
ho files some 3,600 affidavits, printed,
and with the cross marks attached, of
negroes in remote country parishes, ,
4. Before any sifting or inquiry Into
these mere allegations and affidavits
could pg made—before any trial could be
had, the United States Judge Issues an
interlocutory order, directing the
United States marshal to seize the
state bouse, to expel the regular officers
of the State, and to proceed to recog
nize and Install as the real government
the beaten radical negro candidates,
who are proclaimed by a bogus or
fraudulent board, . 1
5. The returns of this board, created
by Dureil’s interlocutory order, were
flagrantly false and fictitious, based on
no other facts or figures than, the mere
calculations of a partisan committee,
and the exclusion of all returns of
votes actually received by the conserv
ative candidates.
There is no man of their own party
with a spark of decency who does not
laugh to scorn this miserable botch and
fiction. Even Kellog, by his own in
timations, has admitted the gross out
rage and falsehood of these returns, and
declared that conservative candidates
were elected who are returned by this
board as defeated by thousands of
votes 1
6. That thus, and by means of this
same interlocutory order of Duroll, one
of the most corrupt and audacious ne
groes that ever hung upon the out
skirts of our community, whose term
of office had expired and with it all
power to act as lieutenant governor,
was foisted by United States bayonets
into the chief executive chair of the
State and is recognized as such by the
federal government! ! !
7- That the immediate effects of these
several acts and c.or,sequences of this
interlocutory order of a petty United
States judge are the installation, over
the State of Louisiana, of a, govern
ment consisting of the following offi
cials :
For Governor:
A United States Senator,
For Lieutenant Governor:
A Negro United States Collector of the
Port of Shreveport.
For President of the Senate:
The Mulatto Surveyor of the Port of
New Orleans.
For Speaker, of the House of Bepresen
. tatives :
The United States. Postmaster at'New
Orleans.
, For Auditor of the Stale:
The Assistant Treasurer of the United
States.
For Senators and Members of the House
af Representatives:
Sixty-eight Ignorant and 1 Corrupt Ne
groes, a Majority of whom hold Sub
ordinate Offices in the Collectors and
Assessor’s Departments of the United
States Government.
This is the governbaent which has
been forced upon the people of the
State of Louisiana, through an order
in chancery of a petty judge, enforced
by the arms of the federal government;
and these are the facts, under which
this outrage has been consummated,
upera which the American people must
now declare their convictions and
judgement.
If such transactions can obtain their
approval ond support; if the precipi
tate and evidently ignjbrant sanction
given by the authorities at Washing
ton be sustained by them, than is' the
empire inaugurated in the place of the
once proud republic, and Louisiana
converted from a rich and prosperous
State into a negro province, ruled by
the satraps of the central authorities.
A $9,000,000 Settlement,
The magnitude of figures Is sometimes
appalling. The mind contemplates with
a sort of aWe the man who coolly mahesa
proposition to.settle his alleged iudebtet
ness, created by peculation, by the pay
ment of nine million dollars. Such a
proposition was made, last week, by Jay
Gould to the Erie Railway Company, and
it seems that it was accepted. Gonld
and Risk, it will be remembered, operat
ed together in the Erie management up
to the time of Risk’s death. After that
event, the company was re-organized and
Gould forced to take a-back seat. An in
vestigation into the affairs of the compa
ny, satisfied the Directors that Gould bad
been running the machine to put money
into his own pocket at the expence of the
other stockholders. They, therefore,
ordered an action tp be brought for the
recovery of $9,000,000, the sum -which
they alleged, he had diverted from the
treasury of the company into his own
coffers. They have been holding him in
great terror, also, by a threat to arraign
him before the bar of a Criminal Court.
He has succumbed,and now agrees to pay
the amount demanded provided be shall
have immunity from all civil suits apd
criminal prosecutions on account of his
offences. This has been accorded him,
the money goes into the Erie treasury,
Erie stock advances five dollars a share
inn single day and Gould pocirets a mil
lion dollars hy this advance of stock.
Cool and refreshing, indeed. A poor
devil in the country stenisa coat to warm
bis back in Winter, and the Court sends
him a year to the penitentiary. Jay
Gould steals nine millions or more, set
tles the case by restoring a portion of the
money and fares sumptuously every day
upon bis ill-gotten gains.

Fourteen Persons Killed and Fifty Wounded
—-Heartrending Scenes and Incidents,
[From the Fhlladn. Inquirer, Deo. 27.]
Williamsport, Deo. 20.—Last eveh
log the Sabbath school of the Baptist
church at Newberry, in the Seventh
Ward of tijls city, assembled to partici
pate in the ceremonies of Christmas
night. Some three hundred men, wo
men and children were there congrega
ted. The ceremonies of the occasion
were inaugurated, and Mr. Kinsloe, of
hthiucity, proceeded to address the chil
'dreu. Gifts had been brought in, and
the building was brilliantly illuminated.
The address being concluded, then came
tbe distribution of the presents. At this
moment there was a peculiar shake or
quivering of the timbers that denoted a
sudden downfall, and no sooner had the
impression taken a firm hold upon those
there congregated than the terrible ca
tastrophe came with all its horrors and
heartrending scenes.
THE CHURCH
was built with an upper uudleuce room,
and it was in this room that tbe people
had assembled." Tbe interior dimensions
are 20 by 40 feet. There was a centre
girth, with posts thickly placed on each
side. Through the centre, from above,
were two bolts connecting with the main
girth. Evidently the weight of those
assembled sprung the truss-pearers, and,
;the.S(E*,BupportB slipping ohtcf their pla
ces, precipitated the nudienct to the floor
below. This is evident frota the fact,
that the timbers are not-broken, only
an 'occasional splinter or spilt marking
the giving away of the bearer. The gas
pipe* two inches in diametfr, beneath
the centre'girth, was bent by the Im
mense weight until it curved nearly dou
ble. When '
TUB CRASH CAMH,
there went up a wall of mangled hu
manity,that caused the blood of all to
fairly curdle—children wildly shrieking
for their parents, and the grams of .the
wounded Ailing the airwitb lamentation
and distress—many beneath the timbers
crying in the name of God for deliver
ance, while the oil lamps of the edifice,
had kindled a Are that bid fair to destroy
all in a general oohAagration. Those out
side worked with a will, aud used every
possible bffort to rescue the living from
the mangled mass. Several times the
church was on Are, but fortunately the
flames could be reached, and were speed
ily extinguished. Many of those who
were able to reach a window burst out
the lights and leaped to the ground, a
•distance of fourteen or flfteen feet.’ Be
fore ll o’clock, p. m., the bodies were re
moved and IdentlAed. In the panic sev
eral were wounded by being run over.
One man, fastened by a falling timber,
bad his boots off 1 , and his stockings were
on fire when he was rescued. A. lady,
partially burned, to a gentlemen,
for God’s sake save me from this terrible
fate, whereupon bp tore away the timr

■TEKEIBLE CATASTROPHE!
Falling of Olmrcli Floors During a Christ
mas Sabbath School Festival— Twelve
Persons Killed and Fifty ’Wounded —,
Many Seriously.
Williamsport, Pa., Dec. 27.
John B. Bratton, Esq.
Our city was thrown into a terrible ex
citement about 8 o'clock on Christmas
eve, on account of a frightful accident at
Newberry, a suburban village in the 7th
Ward, distant 2J miles from the centre
of the city. Christmas had been joy
ously spent at home, and now the pupils
of the Baptist Sabbath school, with their
teachers and parents and others—some
three hundred in number—assembled to
close this festive day by presenting each
pupil a present. A large Christmas tree
was beautifully adorned with these an
nual gifts. The opening exercises were
ended, and the presentations closed. Tbe
merry hearts of the young were going
out in gladsome laugh and childish mer
riment. Now, quick as an eiectic shook
tbe floor shook and a crash, and tbe ter
rible catastrophe came with ail Us hor
rors and heartrending consequences. The
.floor gave way in tbe centre, and imag
ine this vast crowd mostly thrown head
long in one mass, suffocating to death
some. At the same time, tbe ceiling
and flooring above gave way, and this
unconscious assemblage of human be
ings were suditenly caught between tbe
falling flooisv The destruction of life
was greatest in the centre, where most
were assembled, as the flooring rested
on the timber against the sides and ends
of tbe building. And, what a fall 1 Chil
dren wildly shrieking for help from
their parents, the deep groans of tbe
wounded, and from beneath the tim
bers, many were crying bitterly for help
—for deliverance from their painful sit
uation. Nqw the oil lamps, torn from,
their fastenings, ignited, and for a time
it seemed all would be consumed to add
to the intensity of suffering. Airs. Wilk
inson’s clothing taking fire, and after a
few hours, death closed the scene. By
miraculous efforts the fire was extin
guished, ere it, too, bad done Us fell
work. Many within who were enabled
to reach tbe windows burst out the glass
and escaped to give the alarm and aid in
extricating the wounded,,. The hews
spread. An excited throng quickly
gathered. Parents bad children there
and they came in baste to learn their
fat®. As the dead aud wounded were
dragged, from the debris, the unearthly
groans pierced the hearts of relatives and
friends, and sent a thrill of horror to
tbe souls of those who bad collected in
this ill-fated building. Children saved
without harm or slightly Injured, em
braced their parents, and many a prayer
qf-thankfulness went up .for children
rescued unharmed. 'Twgs a night of
gloom and intensely cold. Tbe scene
amongst tbe. afflicted families is beyond ■
description of tongue or pen. Tbe grief
of loving parents and cherished friends
and relatives, and the apalllng sight
of dead and mingled bodies, that but two
hours before entered this house of death,
full of life and joy, fill tbe mind with
thoughts time never can efface. This the
terrible work of a minute in duration.
Quick as a thunderbolt tbe destroying
angel went forth, and bis devastating
mission was accomplished. The list of
killed and wounded is given in fall in
one of our city papers. It Is a frightful
list of bruises and contusions, of broken
limbs and arms, of crushed bodies, of
burns and soars. One of the unfortunate
was Miss Sarah Maffltt.aged twenty-four
years, a Sabbath school teacher, and one
of our public school teachers, a lady of
fine education, and one who was endear
ed to usfor her many virtues. On Saturday
last she was with us at our District In
stitute; to-morrow she will be consigned
to the grave. As I viewed her lifeless
corpse, alas, thought I, how uncertain
is life I Here was a scene of sorrow and
weeping on part of her father, sisters and
relatives, I shall never forget. Her moth
er was abed from Injuries, but she was
comforted with the reflection her daugh
ter was fully prepared for her sudden ex
it. Leaving this house of mourning, I
visited the residence of Mr. Linsay Me
haffy, a highly esteemed citizen of New
berry. His son, Boyd, aged 19 years, was
here cold ih death. Boyd and Mr. Richie,
unable to gain entrance owing to the ex
cessive crowd, entered the basement and
were seated together, when the falling
timbers crushed both, the former almost
beyond recognition. Mr- M. Reeder, a
school teacher, lost a promising daughter
of 17 ; oneof his sons had fats Jaw broken,
another daughter injured. Mrs, Duncan
Campbell and son of 4 years were killed,
her husband being absent in the woods.
W. Lookman, aged 13, Annie McMlnls,
aged 20; Elizabeth Baskin,aged 24; Grace
G. Semen, aged 22; and Mary Fisher,
aged 16, complete the list of killed. I can.
not close without a brief reference lo the
building, which still stands, a mereshell
with the roof on] a monument of human
recklessness and want of forecast, and
wondered the destruction of life had not
been greater. A two-story frame struct
ure, 43 by 20 feet, was erected simply for
private school purposes. The flooring
had no support—none. It was wholly
unsuited for an ocoasioh like this.
Strange, indeed, that no one in - time
gave warning of this frail structure—
none to depict the danger—none even
to suspect the weight of such an assem
blage might cause tbe floor to fall, and
thus endanger the loss of precious lives.
There was one present, however, who,
seemed to be impressed with a premo
nition that tbe building was unsafe.
But it, was too late. He stood at tbe
door, and, not to cause a panic, cent word 1
to tbe speaker, who was on the floor,
Mr. J. G. Klhsloe, formerly of Sbippens- 1
burg, to make bis speech short and give
out the presents, and, as each received
his, to leave tbe room. I have nothing <
further to add. Tbe heart sickens at tbe
thought of such a record amongst the I
number of afflictive ones that has strl- 1
kingly characterized tbe year 1872.
Yours truly, . I

Monday night was a busy one for the
firemen of New York. Ail night the
alarm bells were ringing. Hardly bad
the Aremen of the up-town districts been
relieved from duty at Che Are in Nine
teenth street, when the bells rang out
clear again on the frosty air of the early
morning hours. This time the high wind,
the intensity of the cold weather, and
the lurid glare which arose from the
neighborhood of the Academy of Musio,
gave early indication to the Aremen that
the last .duties of the night'they were
summoned to perform were likely to be
the most arduous of all, and the destruc
tion of property the greatest.
THE ALARM
was.sent at ten minutes before 4 o’clock,
and the location of the signal showed the
Are to be at Barnum’s Circus, in Four
teenth street. Ten miputes later the in
terior of the newly-constructed Hippo
theatron was a mass of solid flame, and
the strong west wind which prevailed
oarried the tongues of flame against the
great ivory warehouse of F. Grote & Co.,
on the west, and the brick walls of Grace
Chapel on the east. It required
NO MORE THAN A GLANCE
to show that the circus building, with all
its valuable animals and other contents,
was doomed. Tbe watchman, at great
personal risk, rushed to tbe rear and suc
ceeded in bringing.out two of tbe three
elephants in safety. When an effort
.was made tr save more of the animals,
the flames back the gallant fire
men and a handful of spectators and po
licemen who bad assembled, and the ef
fort bad to be abandoned. The roar of
tbe tigers and Hons was. fearful, while
above, the crackle and din of the
flames, arose the unearthly yell of tbe
sea lions. Tbe chatter of the monkeys
could also be plainly heard. As tbe fire
encircled the fire proof corrugated frame,
and advanced towards the western side,
where the more valuable animals were
caged,
THE LIONS AND TIGERS
became frantic, and beat the iron bars of
their prisons, with ferocious rage. There
was no occasion for fright, however, for
in a very few minutes the sufferings of
the poor beasts were at an end* and soon
after.tbe "fire-proof'! iron structure fell,
a orumbled-up mass of debris. Before
this the flames bad made their way Into
the warehoused Qrote & Co., which,
with its valuable stock of ivory, was a
mass of flame, belching forth
GREAT TONGUES OF FIRE
from its open windows and doors, which,
caught on the wind, were carried in a
solid sheet to the south-east. It seemed
for a long time that the entire block was
doomed to destruction.
THE SCENE
at this time was almost indescribable.
The'night was bitterly cold, tho mer
cury hovering in , the neighborhood of
zero, and scarcely a halfhundred people,
beside the firemen, Were on the ground.
Tbe great lumbering engines, emitting
from tbelr bottoms sparks of fire, dashed
upon the ground, and were quickly, con
nected with the hydrants, while rivulets
of water, which'soon rapidly congealed,
marked in a very few moments the net
work of hose which radiated in alt direc
tions. Soon the firemen were diaoried
upon the housetops in tbe rear aha on i
the east, and, with hose and nozzle inr
tbelr hands, they fought in the vejry
teeth, as it were, the quickly advancing
BANK OF FLAME.
At a. very few. minutes after four
o’clock, Barnum’a was gone. The fine
structure, which bad been recently re
built and re-fitted by Hr« Barn urn, after
his purchase of the property of Mr. Lent,
was totally consumed, scarcely an up
right stick remaining to remind the
spectator of its former proportions. But
tbe fire-fiend, aided by its ally, the wind,
had made sure of its prey, and wbemthe
circus building, lay a mass of burning
debris, tbe flames had attacked with lull
force the stately outlines of Grate Cha
pel, which seemed to be rivalling tbe
warehouse on the west as to which could
furnish the fittest food to aid tbe work of
destruction.. Tbe flames leaped through
the open space ol the church, attacking
first the nave, and then tbe roof. Soon'
the latter fell, leaving the Gothic front
walls standing, revealing a crater of fire
within, and .threatening the destruction
of the large factories of M. Curley and
Miner & Stevens, on Thirteenth street.
Tbe intensely inflammable contents of
Grote’s establishment’burned
LIKE GUNPOWDER,
and threatened destruction, not only to
the buildings ih the rear, but to the
Academy of Music, opposite. In fact,
the latter was considerably scorched, and
it was found necessary to keep a stream
of water from one of the engines con
stantly playing upon It. When the
roof of the church feel, , the flames com
municated to tbe quaint old
KNICKERBOCKER LANDMARK
adjoining, which any one who has ever
passed through Fourteenth street will
remember, as standing on an elevation
above the street, and adjoining tbe cha
pel on the east. This was occupied by
tbe Lawrence family, and in it Tamma
ny’s latest candidate for Mayor, Abram
R. Lawrence, was born. The firemen
fought desperately to savo
THE OL'D RELIC OP THE PAST,
and they fought not In vain. Several
times tbe flames crept along tbe eaves,
and darted through the roof, and each
time they were driven b&ob. Hose, was
carried up the stairs, was stretched over
the roof, and brave firemen, hose in
band, fought tbe flames from tbe side
and rear, It was a desperate battle, but
was Anally won, the flames being sub
dued after destroying the upper story. It
is impossible to overestimate tbe value
of this service, as the 1 destruction of this
house Involved the destruction of the
ENTIRE BLOCK
toward Third avenue, as the high wind
carried tbe flames in bugh banks in that
direction, and the row of houses adjoin
ing the Lawrence mansion have tbe rep
utation of'beiog little better than tinder
boxes. At six o’clock tbe wind lessened
in force, and
THU SHOWER OP SPARKS
that for two hours bad been carried un
ceasingly sonth-eastward grew. less dan
gerous to adjoining properly, and It be
came evident that tbe fire was at last
under control. The firemen continued
in service till eleven o’clock, when mast
of them were seat home to “ thaw out,”
and for a needed rest.
Tbe fire originated from the boiler in
tbe basement of the circus building, and
spread, with such surprising rapidity that
the watchman bad only time to save two
elephants.
THE LOSS .OP MR. BABNDM,
who at present is In New Orleans, is es
timated to-day by Mr. S. B. Hurd, bis
treasurer, at $300,000. His insurance it
is impossible to ascertain at this hour, as
tbe safes, with tbe policies, are in the
ruins. Of this proportion, abont $OO,OOO
was expended recently, in reconstruct
ing the building.
THE NATURAL HISTORY COLLECTION,
it Is claimed, was the most valuable in
this country. Tbe giraffes burned cost
$BO,OOO, and were tbe only ones in this
country. The sea-lions were also tbe
only ones at present in the United States.
Mr. Baroum gave employment to one
hundred and fifty persons, one hundred
of whom were employed In the arenio
department. None of the 'horses were
burned, as they are stabled in Thirteenth
street, An elephant, belonging to Geo.
F. Bailey’s Circus, which was Imported
but last week, was also burned. The
wardrobes of tho members of tho Com-
pony wore also burned. The '<
wqre the greatest losers: James '
Dazelle & *Millson, a
mo, Augustus Lee. Madnmo Di
Milo. Leßlanob, Phlllo Nat it?

‘ ‘ N O SUCH WORD AS FAIL.”
, A RESISTLESS REMEDY,
Holloways Ointment.
CIRCULAR TO THE SICK
The first hospital surgeons and medical pub
licists of Europe, admit the unparalleled anti
inflammatory and healing properties of this
Ointment; governments sanction its use In
,their naval and military services; and the
masses in this country and throughout the
country and throughout the world repose the
utmost confidence in Its curative properties. It
penetrates the sources of Inflammation and cor
ruption which underlie the external evidences
of disease, and neutralize the- fiery elements
which feed and exasperate the malady.
Rlieiimatism, Scrofula, Erysipelas.
These are among the most terrible and agon
izing diseases of tbe muscles, tbe fleshy fibre
and the skin: yet In their worst forms, and
when seemingly incurable, thev invariably dis
appear under a persevering application of this
soothing, healing, antidote to pain and inflam
mation,
SALT RHEUM, FEVER SORES,
STIFF JOINTS.
In Cases of Salt Rheum; where medical wa
ters, lotions, and every recipe of the yharmaco
po6a have'proved useless, the Ointment will ac
complish a. thorough cure, Fever Sores heal
quickly under its influence, and its relaxing ef
fect upon contracted sinews is.truly wonderful.
DISCHARGING ULCERS.
A most remarkable and happy change Is pro
duced In the appearance of malignant ulcers
after a few applications of this Ointment. Tuo
surrounding rddness vanishes, and granulas of
'{healthy flesh begin to take the place of the dis
charged matter. Tills process goes on more or
less rapidly, until the orifice Is filled up with
sound material, and tho ulcer radically cured.
A WORD TO MOTHERS.
, The pouug are the most frequent sufferers
from external injuries, and therelore every
■ mother should have this healing preparation
constantly at hand. It is au absolute speoifllo
for sore breasts, aud quickly removes the en
crusted sores .which sometimes disfigure the.
heads and faces of children.
SIGNIFICANT FACTS.
This Ointment la universally used,on,board o
tho Atlantic add Pacific whaling fleet as a cure
for scorbutic afleottons,' and as tho best possible
remedy for wounds and bruises. Largo supplies
of it have recently been ordered by the Sultan
of Turkey for hospital purposes,
Both the Ointment and Pills should be
used in the following cases
Bunions, Mercurial Eruptions,
Swelled Glands, Sprains,
