It lay almost in the same spot where the others liad been fxxud. A heavy beam lay p.cros3 the head, and the body was doubled up as if the person bad died in great agony. Although not charred as badly as the others it was burned beyond recognition. It was that f f a man and it is teheved that while endeavoring to escape he had beon overcome by the heat and smoke. The body is supposed to be that of Daniel J.-Lowery, the engineer of the button factory, who has not beon seen since the fire broke out. Lowery had been seen in that portion of tile building a few moments before the wails fell. The bodies at the station were laid upon the floor at the end of the corridor leading to the celli'.

Brooklyn, May 0.—At 9:15 o'clock yesterday morning, as 0(fleer Peter McCormtck, of the Third sub-grednct, was proceeding to his post, and when he had arrived at the corner of State street and Columbia place he noticed a cloud of dust coming from beneath the sidewalk immediately in front of the premise i known aB the Old Glass house, the main building of which, with its several wings, occupy the greater part of the block bounded by Stato street and Atlantic avenue and Columbia place and Hicks street. As if by intuition the officer knew that a catastrophe was at hand, and stopping but for an instant to ascertain that such was the case, McCormick hurried back to the station house and told Acting Capt. Kellett, who was at the desk, to send for an ambulance. This was done, and Mc- Cormick, in company with several brother officers, hurried back to State street, and when they arrived at tho Old Glass Jiouse they were confronted by flames belching from every window in the immense structure. The officers immediately sent back to the station house word that a general alarm should be sounded, and this was done at once. Wnnnpio, May 6.—A dispatch from Battleford just received says a flying column, under command of Col. OtteP, numbering about 800, comprising the mounted police under Herschmer, men from the "'Queen's Own" rifles, B Battery, the Ottawa Foot Guards and C Company, besides the mounted volunteers from Battleford, bad an engagement with Pound maker's forces on their reserve. The Indians numbered 600. The fight lasted from 5 o'clock in the morning until noon, and was most hotly contested throughout. The loss on Otter's side is 8 killed and 13 wounded, and tho Indian loss is estimated at 60. The following is a list of the killed: "Regard ng these statements I have this to say: I have been a citizen of that territory over s' -co its organisation, and was a resident thore before its organization—while it was yet a part of Dakota—ani from my experience and observation I am compelled to say, in justice to the women of Wyoming, that woman suffrage has not 'lowered the gride of public officials' in that territory. London, May 6.—The Intensity of the Tory rage over the outcome of the Afghai. nuddle is almost ludicrous. It is now evi- Int that the opposition has been as com Dletely outmanoeuvred by the government is the latter has been outgeneraled hy Russia. The voice of opposition lias been silenced by the simple device of keeping tho Tor*-~ '■ ignorance of the progress of negal-at 01 and then telling them that discussion in the absence of details is irregular. Now that the vote of credit passed, the Russian ultimatum conceded, the Lessar boundary adopted and arbitration agreed upon to clean up the odds and ends of the contention, the Tories are complacently told hy lir. Gladstone that they may debate the matter to their hearts' content to-mcArow.

The •ill providing for 10,000 riHittnaal ooetes of Smull'a Handbook passed finally by a vote of 116 to 33. In tho meantime the fire had been so far subdued that a number of the engines were sent away. Underneath the heap of (lebris the fire still smouldered, and volumes of smoke 'floated in the air overhead. The melancholy work of digging for the dead was confined entirely to the rear of the ruins, adjoining the tenement houses on Atlantic street. At one time the firemen were obliged to abandon their work in the rear of No. 55 Atlantic avenue on account of the dangerous condition of the wall; which threatened to topple over. After a portion of the wall had teen hauled down work was resumed. The men worked with tireless energy, but at 0 o'clock-no more bodies were recovered, although it is believed that there are at least 2U in the ruins. Chief Nevins said that he had been told that at tho time the fire broke out there was a bC?y in the same building where the three bodies had been found, and it was believed that this boy had perished. The boy's name could not be ascertained.

As a business man, as a city, county, and territorial officers, and now as governor of Wyoming territory, I have seen much of the workings of voman suffrage, but I have yet to hear of the first case of domestic discord growing out of it. Our women ne arly all vote, and since in Wyoming as elsewhere the majority of the woman are good, and not bad, the result is good and not ovil.

The bill to repeal the section of the feace sot of 1700, which require* fences to bo • one high, boll strong and pig "tight," also passed finally. * The wounded are: ©n top of all this comes the recall of Gen. Sir Peter Lumsden, which it is now rumored was ordered at the dictation of Russia. When the Penjdeh incident was first reported everybody in England demanded the recall by Russia of Gen. Komaroff as the only way of averting war. Less tban a month has passed, and there is not only no prospect of war, but it is Gen. "Lumsden instead of Gen. Komaroff who is recalled in something like disgrace. The Liberals, to be sure, maintain that Gen. Lumsden'B presence* in London is only required for consultation purposes and to oiffeet the technical knowledge of M. Gaspodin Lessar during the negotiation of the new frontier line, but all India and continental Europe say that the recall is equivalent to a disavowal of Gen. Lumzden's acts and another backdown for England. Everybody is asking "If Gen. Lumsden is needed at London, why is not Gen. Komaroff required at St. Petersburg?"

It has been productive of much good in oar territory.Otter's column made a magnificent march. They covered over 86 miles, fought the battle and returned to Battleford, all inside of 30 hours.

She started up the ladder to the roof behind the rest, but l'ell back in a dead faint. In the excitement she was not missed till the others had safely reached the ground. Suddenly ono cried out: Ottawa, May 6.—In the house of commons Sir John Maodonald read a letter from Mr. Street, one of the half breed commissioners, denying that the half breeds were exchanging scrip for arms and ammunition. Mr. Caron, minister of militia, read a telegram from Col. Tumbull, dated Touchwood, May 3, to the effect that the Indians were all quiet in that neighborhood, that every one was satisfied with the arrangements made tor the comfort of the troops, and that those who grumbled were not fit to be soldiers. "Where is Rosie?" "If the women of Massachusetts are as Intelligent and public spirited as those of Wyoming, and I have no reason to doubt they are, their political influence will be for good government and public order. Certainly this is the case in Wyoming. Nobody knew, but somebody remembered that she hadn't come down. Arthur Phillips, one of the young men employed in the building, immediately scaled the fire escape, went down into the room and found her unconscious on the floor. He lifted her across hia shoulder and brought her to the ground without injury. A BRIDEGROOM'S ESCAPE.

Thrown from Bis Horse and Badly Wounded J oat Before Hli Marriage. Lowdon, May 6.—Miss Mary Anderson was entertained at luncheon by Lord and Lady Granville at their town house in Carlton House terrace. Among the company were Lord and Lady Spencer and Lord Hartigan, secretary for war. The goesipe are suggesting that the latter and Miss Anderson are splendidly matched. His lordship is not yet 52, and will some day inherit the vast estates of his father, the Duke of Devonshire, but, though gallant, he is a confirmed old bachelor, and there is doubtless as little basis for the present gossip as for the many previous rumors of Miss Anderson's matrimonial intentions. Baltimore, Hay 6.—The postponement of the marriage of N. W. Bosefelt, of New York, to Hiss Shoemaker, daughter of the late president of Adams Express, was almost necessitated yesterday morning by an accident to the prospective groom. Mr. Rosefelt together with 'Rev. Dr. Eccleston and a few friends went out to Druid Hill park to enjoy a horseback ride. When returning Rosefelt lost control of his spirited horse, who dashed out of the park gate down Madison avenue at a furioq; rate. When Prestoc street was reached he was thrown from the horse and fell upon bis head. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and remained so for some tjime Notwithstanding his injuries the marriage ceremony was performed at 11 o'clock, Mr. Rcsefelt going through the ceremony with his head done up in bandages.  A similar case was that of Lizzie Owers, who worked in the kolsomine shop on the fourth floor. Only seven hands were employed there, and all got out except Lizzie. Benjamin Mooro, the foreman, missed her, and, going back, found her in a swoon. He brought her down the stairs and had her taken home. If acceptable, I propose to send ambulance appliances and a few men.  SPORTING SALMAGUNDI. Mr. Caron replied The Baseball Record—Kaclng In Teanessee—Shooting Tournament. At Philadelphia: Altogether there were between 700 and 800 occupants in these buildings, and the first intimation they had that anything was wrong was the blowing of the danger whistle. This signal was known to all of the employes, and they all at once prepared to leave their several rooms. Many of the employes were K'irlat many of them mere children, and the scene that ensued can better be imagined than reported. As a general thing, so far as is known and as is general in such cases, the Females acted more heroically than the males. The girls on the upper floors were led to the windows by the action of the men, who at once rushed for those means of exit. U hile many fainted the cooler-headed ones ;almed the fears of those who might have male the calamity greater than it was and led them quietly down the stairs. What those suffered—those who had been in- Formed that the danger was greater than it was—will probably never be known.

Th D basis oT the claim is an alleged grant to Miguel Per alto by Carlos IIL of Spain, issued through the viceroy of Mexico in 17o8.

During Phelan's examination he was asked if be were armed. He replied that he was, and produced three revolvers which he laid upon the judge's desk. He said he was granted permission by the police department on Feb. 10 to carry a pistol. Phelan admitted that he had stabbed a bunco man on a former visit to New York. He was then required to show the jury where he was stabbed. He exposed his bare body and revealed scars in 12different places.

Ohio's Latent Mining Strike. The coroner ordered the arrest of the house mover who was raising the building to allow the contractor to put new foundations in with new columns and girders. He was charged with improperly performing the work, causing the walls to fall, and afterward setting the building on fire. By noon the fire had about exhausted its work of destruction and the tottering walls foil in one by one. The mass of brick, iron girders, heavy machinery and beams was piled in one great lieap, dogging up the ■quare between the four stree s. The smoke poured up in thick volumes and an occasional flame darted out from between apertures. The fire was f«nouldering. It was under control, and it was only a question of a short time when it would be quenched, lhe firemen had completely surrounded the square and a dozen or more streams of water were played upon the ruins. Some of the many partition walls remained in an upright but they threatened every moment to topple over. With these walls remaining it was extremely dangerous for the firemen to get within the ruins. The most dangerous wall on the State street side of the structure was ordered torn down by Chief Nevins. A long rope was passed through one of the windows and over the top of the wall.

Cluverius, charged with the murder of Fannie Lillian Madison on the night of March 18 last, was brought from the city jail and taken to the Hustings court, where the case was called at 11 o'clock. Council on both sides announced their readiness to proceed with the case and the panel was sworn and exhausted, securing but one juror. The court ordered a list of 100 men to be issued, returnable at 5 o'clock p. M., to which time the court recessed. Cluverius pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder, and by a great effort seemed to manifest composure. At times his brown eyes would twinkle with an attempted, smile as he returned a bow from some acquaintance. A large crowd was in attendance, brought out by curiosity to see Cluverius.
