One of Chicago’* Finest Business Block* Burned to the Ground.—Two ot the Largest Law Librarie* in the City Burned. Chicago, Feb. 10. Fire is now’ racing with great fury in Grannis block, on the east side ot Dearborn street, just south of Washington street. The fire started at 5.45 this evening, and half an hour later it was found necessary to give a general alarm. The total destruction of one of the finest office blocks in the city seems certain. It is impossible now to estimate the los*. At the time the fire was discovered the employees in the various offices were preparing to leave for the night, and as far as learned all escaped safely. The fire is said to have originated at the bottom of the elevator shaft, w here, during the past week, a new boiler has been put in and other improve ments made. The latest reports say that the Haines are not yet out and the loss by fire and water is already very large. In Grannis block there are two banks, the Continental National, and National Bank of Illinois. Before nine o’clock everybody hav ing offices in the building had no doubt^if the total loss of the building with its contents. except the valuahlss in the fire-proof safes, i The building is for the most part occupied by lawyers, architects and insurance agents. many of w hom will loose everything in their offices. It is now known that two of the most valuable law libraries in the city are totally destroyed, besides some valuable pa pers which the occupants of the office did not have time to put into the safes. Grannis block was erected by Amos mi ni*, at a cost of $175,000. The building was insured for $120,000 Its tenants for the most part were* prominent in their profes sions. having offices expensively fitted up. which fact makes the estimate of furniture etc, amount well up to $55,000. The tire was practically under control at 0 o’clock. The building was bought about three months ago by Sheperd Brooks of Bos ton, for $185,000. There were 50 offices in it, in addition to hanks. A M ASS OF FLA Vies. Three Large Warehouses Burned—Two Men Killed—Loss $100,000, Philadelphia, Feb. 10. A destructive tire broke out today, on i Chestnut street, between Second and Front streets. The fire broke out in some manner, as yet unknown, in a five story brick building. No. 125 Chestnut street, occupied by Stephenson Co.,Getzand Straller. Richard A. Blythe and Garsede Co all dealers in cotton and wool. Soon after the fire was discovered the flames hurst from the windows. The front of the three upper stories fell out and crushed down into the street, killing John McKay, a laborer, and a horse attached to a hose cart. The flames spread rapidly and No’s 128 and 121 Chestnut street, were soon enveloped in flames The former t uilding was occupied by Irving C. Beatty Co., dealers in worsted i yarns, and the latter by Geo. II. McFadden Co., cotton dealers. Later—So far as is now known, two men have been killed at the scene of the fire. John McKay, driver of the hose cart, and J. G. Blyer, aged IS years. At 11.85, the firemen were confident that the fire w as fully under control and that it could not spread further. The losses will ag gregate $100,000. All the buildings on the north side of. Chestnut street between 2nd and Letitia, ex- i cept the Corn Exchange National Bank and U. Homer Son's building 47 South Second street, was totally destroyed and that of Pitkin Thomas. 45 South Second, was damaged. John McKay, fireman, has since died from injuries. A body was taken from the ruins j which was supposed to he that of Joseph Blyler has been identified as that of Thomas j Marshall, drayman, who was in the building where the fire originated at the time the 1 wall fell. WASHINGTON NEWS. Washington, Keb. 19. The Warner Committee this morning con tinued the investigation of the pension office. Geo. W. Evans, disbursing clerk of the In terion Department, appeared, hearing cer tain record* of his office He showed that ite paid special agent Rathbnrn, of the pension office, in full for September and October and for 14 days in November and 30 days in De i ceniber. 1884. during a portion of which time he was absent from duty, with leave. Mr. Comstoek. chief of the western di vision ot the pension office, was recalled This official is the man who was reported to have ordered the suspension of action on the case recommended bv Congressman Holman. i on the ground that the latter was a democrat and action would increase his popularity. The witness denied the story and pronounced the statement ot witness Broadus in that regard to be false No instructions have ever been given in his division which could he inter preted as a warrant for discrimination. The House appropriations committee will consider sundry civil bills tomorrow. It is understood that an effort will be made to in corporate in it a provision to stop the coinage of silver from July 1st for one year. The members of the House who are strong silver men assert that thev will filibuster in any legislation providing for stoppage of sil ver coinage, even at the risk of forcing an extra session. Illinois Legislature. Springfield. Feb. 19. At noon today a ballot was taken for a L'. S. senator in joint session. The vote was as follows: John A. I.ogan 100, Wm. R Mor rison, dem., 94. E. M. Haines, dem., 4: scat tering. 6. The House then proceeded to take another ballot. The second and third ballots ware without change and the joint session ended. FORTY-EIGHTH COYGRESS. Second Session. SEX %TE. Washington, Feb. 1!>. The committee on appropriations reported the postoffiee appropriation bill; placed on the calendar. The same committee reported w ith only a verbal amendment, the joint resolution appro priating $2500 to defray the expenditures of the inaugural ceremonies. The joint resolution as amended was passed. Mr Pike offered a resolution which was agreed to. calling on the secretary of war for information relative to the improvement of the Oocbeco river at Dover. N. H. The Des Moines river land bill was then placed before the Senate, and Mr. Lapham resumed his remarks on it. Mr. McPherson moved an indefinate post ponement of the bill: rejected. At 1 o’clock the bill went over, and Mr. Van Wyck called up the Texas Pacific for feiture bill The consideration of the Texas Pacific forleiture bill was then entered upon and the committee amendments agreed to. Mr. Morgan offered an amendment similar to that offered by him in the ease of the At lantic Pacific bill, providing for the refer ence to the United States courts of all con troversies concerning the rights and equities claimed by the United States or bv private parties in the lands forfeited Mr. Morgan addressed the Senate in sup port ot the amendment Mr. Blair was in favor of the grant being forfeited subject to the action of the courts, lie. therefore, supported Mr. Morgan’s amendment. Mr. Edmunds, taking the floor, said that about the lime when Judge Thurman was chairman of the judiciary committee, the matter of these forfeitures was referred to that committee, and the committee reported to the Senate the bill which provided at one stroke for the forfeiture ot every unearned grant everywhere, and which provided that it should be the ilutv of the attorney general to institute suits to declare the forfeitures, so as to protect from future litigation the title of all settlers who might come in under the United States It did not at the time comport with the pleasure and convenience of the Senate in the pressure of business to consider the bill. Ti e circumstance Mr. Edmunds regretted, as had that bill been passed, all questions now under discussion would have been disposed of without the poor settlers, as in the case of the Des Moines people, being ground to deaili in contests with great cor porations Mr. Morgan's amendment was rejected— 24 to 31. I hi* bill having been perfected in the com mittee of tl»e whole, it was reported to the Senate, whereupon Mr. Morgan re-offered the amendment, which was again voted down The hill was then read the third time and passed—56 to 2—Messrs. Blair and Bowen. The bill now goes hack to the House for concurrence or non-concurrence in the Senate amendments The Senate at 6.85 1*. M. adjourned. HOUSE. The House met at 10 o’clock in continua tion of yesterday’s session. Mr. Holman of Indiana, introduced a joint resolution requesting the President to open negotiations with the government of the French Republic, with a view of negotiating a new convention with that government for the establishment of another French and American claims commission, which shall have ample jurisdiction to re-open, examine and finally determine all claims which were filed before tin* late commission under the convention of Jan. 15, 1880, between the government of the United States and the French Republic; referred The House then went into committee of the whole on the river and harbor bill. On motion of Mr. Crosby of Missouri, the appropriation for the improvement of the Mississippi river between the Illinois and Ohio rivers, was increased from $400,000 to $600,000, and it was directed that $80,000 of this sum should he expended at Cap? Guar dian. At 11.55 the committee rose and the House adjourned, and at 12 the session of Thursday began. The committee on elections submitted a report on the Iowa contested election case of Frederick vs. Wilson, accompanied by a res olution declaring the contestant Frederick entitled to the seat; laid over for future ac tion. At 1 45 P. M. the consideration of the river and harbor bill was resumed in the committee of the whole. A large number of amendments were of fered to the paragraph relative to the Missis-; sippi river appropriation*, but they were sev erally voted down. Upon one of them, how ever. a point was raised that no quorum had voted, and in accordance with the arrange ment with the appropriation committee, Mr. Willis moved that the committee rise, which was carried. Speaker arh«le took the chair, and the welcome extended to hint on his return to his official duties was a hearty one. At 3.30 the House went into committee on the naval appropriation bill. Mr. Curtin of Pennsylvania ottered an amendment appropriating 323.000 for testing American armor made of American material: adopted Mr. Candon of Illinois made a point of order against the paragraph appropriating S+OO.OOo for the completion of the New York, and the point being overruled he moved to strike out the paragraph. To complete this old ship which had been lying in the stocks for 19 years, was to advance backward and authorize a waste of money. Mr. Dinglev of Maine supported the para graph of the bill. The timber of the New York was todav thoroughly seasoned and worth double as much as it was la years ago. It would be the height of unwisdom to throw awav this partly constructed vessel and not complete it. to be used *s a school ship or transport. Mr. Hewitt of New York regretted that as the country was about to build a new navv, a proposition should come from the dem ocratic committee to complete an old ship, which, if she was struck bv one of the guns of one ot the discarded ships of other coun tries. would go to the bottom. Mr. Cox of New York contended that wooden ships were necessary. Because we had artillery should we discard the infantrv? Because we had ironclads should we give up wooden ships? ?s, answered Mr. Hewitt emphatically Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania said that the committee on appropriations realized that a powerful navy was required, and also that these vessels which were now unfinished and could be made useful should be completed. The completion of the New York was recom mended by the secretary of the navy. “When did you become authority to this side of this House?" inquired Mr. Hewitt. “I’d about as soon trust him as trust you.” retorted Mr. Randall. The motion to strike out was lost. The committee then rose and the Mouse took a recess until 10 tomorrow. FOREIGN (NEWS THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT. A Discussion ol England's Affairs in Egypt by Gladstone and Other Prominent English States* men. London, Feb. 19. Parliament opened at 4 o’clock this even ing. There was no crowd in attendance. The police allowed no one to pass the gate unless able to show that he had a right to enter. Gladstone, upon entering, was loudly cheered. Gladstone, replying to certain in terrogations about the government's conduct in Egypt, replied in much the same tone as that used by Earl Granville in the House of Lords. He added, however, that the present j situation did not allow the government to make overtures to El Mahdi. because such overtures might defeat their own object. Sir j Stafford Northcote gave notice that he would move on the earliest date possible, which he hoped would not be further off' than next Monday, and that a humble address would be presented to Her Majesty the Queen, repre senting that the course pursued by her present liberal government, in regard to Egypt and the Soudan, had involved great sacrifice of valuable lives aiid heavy expenses, without any beneficial results, rendering it impera tively necessary to the interests of the British Empire and Egyptian people that the govern ment should distinctly recognize and take de cided measures to fulfil the responsibility now incumbent on them to insure a good’, staple government in Egypt, and in those portions of the Soudan necessary for Kgvpt's security. Gladstone stated that the policy of the government to evacuate Egypt even tually, remained unchanged. He had done what he could for Gen. Gordon, and was not to be held responsible for his death. Mr. Gladstone said: Our policy in the Soudan is still for evacuation. The recent events there prevented the immediate appli cation of this policy. The fall of lvhartouin altered in the military sense, the whole situa tion in the Soudan Lord tV olseley is au thorized to take what measures he sees tit to overthrow the Mahdi at Khartoum. No fur ther coiMuunication will he made to the Mahdi, ^1 any received from Mini will be considered. Mr. Gladstone, replying to a request from Sir Station! Southcate. said he would tomor row name a day for the discussion ot the pro posed vote of censure. Sir Herbert Max well gave notice that he would move tomor row for the introduction of a measure em powering judges to order offenders under tin explosives act of 1888, to he Hogged. I'lie discussion of the redistribution of seats bill has been fixed for next Monday. Gladstone gave notice that lie would move that this hill take precedence of the motion of censure. In the House of Lords the government was at once assailed by the conservatives with a bombardment of questions concerning their intentions in the Soudan. Lari Granville replied that the government had left it entirely to Lord Wolseley to de cide whether the British should proceed to attack Khartoum at once or delay the attack until a later day Lari Granviile continuing, said: “The finances of Egypt and the relief of G mion, that heroic soldier whose loss has excited the greatest sympathy, are the prominent ques tions before the country. The government had hoped to he able to soon present papers to Parliament, to show that a complete settle ment of Egypt’s financial affairs had been arrived at: hut just when the government were expecting to hear of a meeting between j the British troops in advance under the lead ership of Col. Sir Chas. Wilson and Geo. Gordon, tlie dreadful news arrived that what military strength and famine had failed to j succeed in doing had been accomplished by treachery, ami that one of the most gallant j of soldiers was no more. Lord Salisbury responded, and used the following language: It the country is not j satisfied with the government's explanation it will visit hitter censure upon those anawera- hie for so fruitless a policy. We do not pro- pose to anticipate a discussion which must inevitably come later on, but we must hope j that England will not retire from Egypt j leaving no record of our presence there ex- J cept mischief done, and the hones of our sol- j diers. Mr. (rant will introduce a bill in the i House of Lords to enable the British colo- nie* in Australia to organize a confederation. Adjourned until tomorrow.

Mr. Nutting of Perhaui moved that when the House adjourned, it be to meet at half past two o’clock P. M. this afternoon. Mr Heath of Augusta suggested that, a* there were a great many committee meetings this afternoon, the gentleman lrorn Perhani [Mr. Nutting] amend his motion so that when the House adjourn it he to meet at half past nine on Friday. Mr. Nutting accepted the proposition, and it was voted that when the House adjourn it be to meet at half past nine Friday morning. House doedment No. 74, an aet to facilitate the prompt administra:ion of justice by the establishment of a Superior Court in the county of Aroostook, came up by special as signment, pending its passage to be engross ed. Mr. Heath of Angusta, oflered the follow ing amendment: Strike oat the word “Cari bou” in line 2, sec. (I, page and insert in stead thereof, the words. “Presque Isle." Mr. Cyr of Crand Isle said that he thought Caribou was the better place, and j,e hoped that this House would du justice to tut people in the northern part of Aroostook county. Mr. Heath said that this matter had bees very fully heard before the Jinutciary Com mittee. He thought it was agreed as to tin necessity of a court in Aroostook count* there was no remonstrance against it, and ne thought that any one who investigated the matter would agree that it would be an act of injustice it this legislature should adjourn without giving that county greater court ta cilities. The county is the largest ot any county in the State, and has within it less railroad facilities than any county in the State exc pi Washington county, and liti gants are obliged to travel long distance*. Every member of the committee had been very decided that it was hut a simple act of justice to give that county greater court f«. cililies, aud that it ought to be done at once, ami that the only proposition belore the commit tee was the establishment of a Superior Court There is now practical y but one question, and that is upon the location. IV majority of the committee favored Caribou; me minority were m tavor of Presque isle It was understood tile minority would not ot ter a report,but would reserve’tlieir rights bj way ot ail amendment, and the duty of pre senting that amendment liad fallen to luui. tie tiruily believed that Presque isle was the proper place tor tbe court, and believing so lie bad olierred tins amendment. It is evi dent that the people of Aroostohk county can not agree upon this matter; they are hope lessly divided.and ttie responsibility ol choos ing the location will tali upon this House The Judiciary Committee come here divided in sentiment, and he otferred this amendment in behait of that Committee. Mr. Powers of Houlton said tiiat as a citi zen of Aroostook county.having passed some IT years of his life there, he thought it pos sible that be might know something of the wants and wishes of tbe people of (hat coun ty, and know something of their interests He thought the majority report of ttie com mittee made out a prima facie case. It is now asked that tile report of the committee be set aside, upon a reason w hich he believ>4 to be insutticieiii. Mr. Pnair of Pre-que Isle said that die. petitions for this court were troni die nortl. ern portion of the county. No petition h*i been presented here from any pirnon of die southern part. If ibis court is to be estab lished for tile people in nordiern Aroostook, should they not shv where it should be loca ted? It is claimed that Caribou is nearer the centre of northern Aroostook than Presque Isle. It is admitted It is claimed that it is nearer the centre of population It is admitted, hut it is not admitted that Cari bou is nearer the centre of the business por tion of northern Aroostook. Mr. Pnair presented statistics to show die comparative growth in wealth and population of the towns of Caribou and Presque Isle, and said that it was not ask.d that this court be located in the ceutre of the county nor in the centre of the population.but where it wilt best accom modate the people, and he hoped the amend ment would prevail Mr. Nutting ot Perham responded briefly. The amendment was lost. Mr. Dickey of Kt. Kent ottered the follow ing amendment: Insert after the word Haul ton. in line tour of sec li, the word*: ’‘And on the second l'uesdav of July at Kt. Kent Mr. Dickey in a brief speech urged the need of a court in that section, and claimed that the location was a most desirable one. The amendment was lost. The bill was then passed to be engrossed. House document No. 40, to furnish certain books to the town ot Oakland to replace others destroyed by fire, came up by special assignment. Mr. Couainsof Kennehunkport opposed ill* resolve, and moved that it lie indefinitely postponed. Mr Spear ot Haltowell favored the resolve and hoped it would not be indefinitely post poned. The motion to indefinitely postpone was lost, a d the resolv- wa* then passed to bt engrossed Senate document No 111. resolve authoru* ing tile countv of Piscataquis to males a loan, -came up bv special assignment, the pending question being the acceptance of the report of the committee It was voted to accept the report, and. on motion of Mr. Dver ot Koxcrott, the resolve loot its two several readings and was passed to be engrossed under a suspension of the rules.

One year ago the ice fields were planed from one to three times to remove the accumulated saw mill debris, at a cost of iu an acre, and there was a total l°r removing this of over fioO, ow. Which would have been obviated had there been a law preventing the throwing of sawdust into the river. Mr. Havnes made a very clear statement as to the importance of the ice industry to the State. He stated that while the forests, from which the logs which feed the mills are derived, exlmu-t she soil and are a loss to the Stale when removed, ice costs nothing but the labor expended in harvesting it. Furth ermore, the latter product is marketed almost entirely out of the State, the proceeds of the sales all being baought into the State. Mr Haynes held that the refuse dumped into the river, injured the stream for naviga tion and had prevented Congress Irom nuk ing appropriations for dredging its bed The witness was before the committee two hours. Mr. Chrpin ot Portland, who Is interested in a Richmond ice company, testified Capt. Win Blanchard of Gardiner stated to the committee that the refuse from the mills injured the river for navigation Mr. Brown of Bowdoinhant stated that the sawdust drift ing in the river injured the fisheries. Capt. Arthur Berry of Gardiner, Hon. Geo. K. Weeks and other well known ice men testi fied. At six o’clock the ice men rested their case and in the evening the hearing was contin ued, the lumbermen opening. It was urged bv them that the sawdust did not materially injure the quality ot the ice; that the river was not damaged for navigating purposes; that the expenses of disposing of the refuse otherwise than dumping into the river, would b very heavy, and the erection of furnaces for consuming it would add to the insurance rates.

Quirk, Ful ton, Kans., writes: "Ayer’s Cherry Pec toral saved my life twenty years ago. It is a favorite medicine in my family.” Catarrh prevails in this country to an alarming extent. It is a troublesome and disgusting disease, usually induced by neg lecteu colds, and, if allowed to become chronic, produces Bronchitis, and often terminates in Consumption. Ernest II. Darrab, Tollesboro. Ivy., writes: “A year ago I was afflicted with Catarrh. One bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured me.” Miss Eva A. Hall, Ipswich.

It Cured Me of this troublesome complaint, when other remedies afforded no relief.” I>r. F. Schley,Frederickstowu, Md., writes: In pulmonary cases, of an acute character, or. of catarrhal origin, 1 find Ayer's Cherry Pectoral invaluable.” Dr. F. E. Pape, Sandusky, Ohio, writes: I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in my practice, and, in connection wi.h Ayer’s Tills, find it an invaluable remedy for colds, coughs, and the inflammations that follow them upon the throat and lungs. We have no other remedy which I consider so sure in its effects.” C. H. Pierce, Moline, ill., writes: “Catarrh had nearly destroyed my sense of taste and smell. Ayer's Cher ry Pectoral effected a complete cure.” Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral lias effected many wonderful cures. Mrs. Mary K. Whitcomb. Hartford.

She was very much reduced in strength, and believed herself about lo become a victim of Consumption. While in this condition, she was strongly recommended by Rev. Dr. Ttlancbard, of l.owell, Mass., to make a trial of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. She did so. and by its use was restored to perfect health.
