Boston, Marco 10 One nf the most
destructive fires in the history of Boston
broke out soon after 4 o'clock tbis after
noon, am) belore it was placed under
control, three hours later, it bad bnrned
over more tlmD a block, reducing to
ashes several magnificent buildings rc-
ceotly completed. Tbe came territory
was burned over 3i years ago The con
sumed property was valued, a conserva
tive estimate, at $4,500,000. Tbe fire
attended bv scenes of panic and dia
tress never before equalled here, do
stroked several, perhaps many human
lives, and maDg.'ed or maimed at least
thirty persons, some of whom will die of
their injuries. The flames broxe nut in
the toy department of Horace Partridge
& Co, who occupied tbe tilth and sixtn
floors ol the seven tory building at ihe
corner ot Essex and .Lincoln streets, aod
owned by F. L. Ames. The cause is at
present unknown. The fire was described
by those nearest it as resenbling to
bursting of e huge firecracker The
flames spread with incredible rap'dity,
and in a very few moments the entire
interior of the building was burning
There -were manv employes at work at
the time, and tbe other floors of the
lui.diug weie spriukled with human be

tbat Gladstone had refused to receive
tbe delegation Salisbury eipressed sur.
unee tbat this should bave been done
Tbe refusal, Salisbury added, was doubt

wbicb tbe government' was pushing tbe
bill for the separation ol Ireland irum
the United K nudum before it was pos

and all other loyal sujecis ot her mxjestj

An Old. Murder jnyatery.
Db Land, Fla, March 10. Marion
Clinton has made a confession in which
ne tells what be claims is tbe story of
tbe hitherto mysterious murder known
as tbe Packaiood case. Clinton impli
cates William A McRae and a negro
named Irving Jenkins. All of the per
sons mentioned are in jail, and today
the grand jury ' of Volusia county re

blooded,' heinous Times in the history
of tbe state, and was shrouded in the
deepest m.sttrv. as tbe assassins lef' no
cine behind and no motive wis known
or suspected. Clinton impressed with
the belief tbat either Jenkins or McRae
was coin it to turn state's evidence, de
cided to make a full confession. In sub
stance, Clinton's confession is to tbe
effect that on tbe night of the ' murder
he, McRte and the negro, Jenkins, went
to Pack wood in a boat. Clinton savs
Jenkins and McRae went up to tbe
hous?, a short distance from tbe river,
and left him on guard in tbe boat; that
he saw Jenkins break in tbe window

Soon afterward two sbots were fired in

Committee Chairmen.
Washington, Marco 10 The
Post
pubiifbes the following:
"The work ot arranging tbe Berate
committee chairmanships baa so far pro
gressed that nearly all have been selected.
The most interesting development is the
tact the free silver men propose to ruD
the senate their own way and are recast
lug the finance committee so as to leave
no doubt of tbe stand which tbe en mm it
tee will take upon any coinage bills be.
fore it. The Democrats ou the commit
tee, up to the 4th of March.- were Voor
heee, McPberson, Harris aod Vance
VoorheeB will be chairman. Harris and
Vance are both outspoken free-silver men
aud will remain. Mcf herson will step
aside to take the chairmanship of the
committee on naval affairs. Other Deni
crals on the bounce committee will be
Coke-and Vest,' both avowedly on tbe
Iree-toinage platlorm. It will be seen
that no matter what Cleveland desires
tbe personnel of tbe finance committee is
such as to make it almost impossible for
bim to dominate the finunc al policy to
be followed by the senate. A1 the anti-
silver men. such as Vilas. McPberson
and others, have been purposely kept of!
the committee. Morgan will be chair
man of .the committee on foreign re a
tions, Cockreli of appropriations. Harri

East Oregonian: An enterprising young
man named Nannie Howard, who should
eventually have made a shining success
of the cattle business if the law bad not
unkindly tnterfe ed, was a guest Friday
night in Umatilla county's safe and ' sub
stantial metal trimmed lodging bouse.
Nannie, it appears, was in tbe Baker
county jail awaiting trial on five or six .
indictments for cattle-stealing, and five or
six weeks ago, when sent after a bucket
of water, eluded tbe vigilance ol his -guard
and concluded to stay away. Fri
day afternoon he was captured near
Meacham by Deputy Sheriff Kennison,
of Baker county, and brought to Pendle
ton for the night. This morning the
officer returned to Baker with bis pris
oner. - Howard had been in Idaho and

Hood River Glacier: Mr. C. G. Roberts,
who spent tbe tall and winter la tbe far
east, bas again returned to Oregon. W bile '
in Washington, recently, he had tbe pleas- '
are ot a naif boar's chat with tbe great
Grover and Secretary Whitney. He is more
of a Cleveland man than ever since his visit,
and smiles every time be is asked about bis
calling on tbe president. It seems be was
one of many wbo were waiting to see the
president, and as the crowd was very large,
Mr. Roberts began to consider bis ebanoes '
for an interview as very slim; finally a
bright idea struck bim, and pencilling on a
card bis name, followed by tbe legend.
"President of the Hood River Tariff Reform
Club," he. sent it in and followed it a mo
ment later. It was the "open sesame."
The president was mach interested in Ore

The Searck Fruitless.
East Oregonian: I. W. Miller, the Union
county ehild hunter, is in Penaletoa, Mr.
Miller has at last abandoned his search, and
is returning to bis home ac oummerviue.
He bas traveled 3000 milea by railroad and
long diatanoes on horseback ia Oregon,
Washington and Idaho in search of bis lost
daughter, and feels disappointed tbat tbe
lO' g chase should result so fruitlessly. Sev
eral times he thought be had traoe of the
girl, aod redoubled the vigor and eagerness
ot his hunt, only to find that be had been
pursuing a "will-o'-the-wisp." He ia now
ready to pay a ransom of $1200 to the gyp
sies, if they have her, for tbe return of the
girl to bis borne in Summerville. Mr. Mil
ler latelv visited the Yakima country to see
tbe child living with Indiana there on Sellis
creek, but found that ahe ia not his
daughter. The little girl resembles a pure
blood white child very much ia appearanoe,
but baa some Indian blood in her veins and '
evidently belongs to the tribe with whom
she is bving.
Cattle Buffering.
Cruelty to cattle has been very prevalent
this winter. Ranchers bsve left the poor
animals out in tbe open air without food or
shelter, witb three or four feet of snow on
the ground and tbe thermometer showing
many degrees below sero. - Aloog tbe Une
of the Canadian Pacific railroad, between
Dooks and Kamloops. heaps of eattla (dying
and dead) are to be seen in open fields, and
not a srisp of straw or food of any descrip
tion in sight. As for shelter, tbe ordinary
rancher would laugh at the idea of patting
np shelter tor eattla. The word bnmsne is
not ia their vocabulary. At Ashcroft,
Kamloops and many other inland grazing,
districts, numerous losses from the same
. . . . n
csuse are reported, as uraoo iraine.
where tbe weather bas been warmer, cattle
are doing well. In Revelstoke district, do
losses are tvatirita.Exckangt.
