A district school meeting wa* held in Rich mond, Monday evening, for the ourpnse of taking final action in regard to the proposed new school house. It was was voted to raise $8000 with which to purchase a lot and build the building, the amount to be raised by issu ing bonds payable in ten years, at the rate of $800 per year. The lot decided upon is locat ed on the south side of Gardiner street, be tween Center and High streets. Many were in favor of the old Baptist church lot, but the lot, though farther from the center of the vil lage, was thought to have more advantages, and was therefore selected. The matter of building was left in the hands of the coromit i tee with instructions to begin the work at i once. The contract will probably be awarded !to E. H. Wilkinson of Richmond, he having been the lowest bidder. farm Building* Burned. j Farmington, Me., May 5.

McCafferty, associate justice of the Municipal Court, died suddenly this evening at his residence on Hancock street, aged BO. He was appointed to the bench by Gov. Butler, in January, 1883, and has won many encomiums for his impartial ami fearless administration of the law. Judge McCafferty held court today and ap peared in the best of health. He sat down to Ins supper as usual, shortly after B tonight, and during the meal laughed and chatted with those about him with his usual cheerfulness and good nature. Shortly after retiring to his room in the second story, one of his old comrades of the 25th regiment, who occupied the room above, heard a noise as it made by some one in distress, and running down stairs found the judge seated in a chair, evidently in great pain and breathing with difficulty. A physician was quickie summoned, but all efforts to relieve the sufferer failed and he died in a few moments. The cause was heart disease. RAILROAD STRIKE. Men on the Rio Grande Leave Their Work —Mo Freight Allowed to Move. Denver, Col. May 5. Special* from Gunnison and Grand Junc tion state, promptly at nine o’clock yesterday morning, in obedience to instructions from head quarters, at Denver, all members of the Knights of Labor in the employ of the Den ver and Kio Grande railroad quit work At Gunnison the round house and freight house were closed and no freight trains were al owed to leave the yards. All trie shops at Grand Junction were deserted. At Salida the yards are filled with hundreds of loads of freight which are not allowed to move. Thirty en gineers are housed with their fires drawn The strength of the strikers is estimated at 7000. Everything is quiet along the line and no serious trouble is anticipated. The Denver Rio Grande employees at Pueblo and Alomosa joined the strikers to day. All the property of the road has b-en placed in the hands of the U. S. marshal, who has stationed a large number of depu ties at all important points to guard the com pany’s property. Passenger trains are run ning as usual but need train men. Only one freight train left the yard today. SAVAGE butchery. Colombian Soldiers Barbarously Murder Twenty-five Men—A Treaty Agreed Upon. Panama May 5, via Galveston, y On Sunday night last, a fraca* occurred between some Jamaicans and National sold iers at Calebra. The latter were disarmed and afterward retired. After procuring rein forcements they returned and broke into the barracks where the Jamaicans were sleeping, and in a most barbarous manner killed twenty five of them and wounded twenty oth ers. Only one Colombian was killed and none wounded. It is reported here on trustworthy authority that a treaty has been concluded between the government of Bogota and the minister of the United States in respect to security of transit across the Isthmus. This treaty is said to confer on the United States government cer tain rights of guardianship of all transit either by rail or canal across the Isthmus of Pana ma, with special duties of protection to be exercised in accord with the government of the U. S. of Colombia. “SIMPLY WONDERFUL.” Gen. Grunt Treated His Family and Household to Another Surprise. New York, May 5. Gen. Grant treated his family and house hold to another surprise today bv the marked change in his condition from the previous dav. Dr. Douglass said "It is simply won derful.” No one seems more surprised than the doctors. The General worked on his book several hours and wrote 12 pages of manuscript himself. The swelling in the jaw is less marked and the general con :ition better than on the previous day. ARE THE DAYS OF SLAVERY RE. TURNING Three Negroes Sold al I’uhlic Auction in Richmond. H).. I nder the Vagrant Laws ol the state. Richmond. Ky., May 5. An immense crowd gathered in front of the court house yesterday to witness the public sale of negroes. They were sold into slavery to the highest and best bidder. One man brought $38 for IS months service, one §14 for three months and a woman 25 cents for 12 mouths. The sales were made uDder the vagrant laws of the State, A DEATH TRAP. The Walls of a Shabby Con structed Building in Sew York Cate in. A Fire Caused by the Fall Consumes the Structure, Making Manyi Men and Women Vic tims to the Flames. The Loss of Life as Yet Unknown and the Value of Property Con sumed Estimated at Nearly $250 000 New York, May 5. At 9 30 this morning, fire was discovered in the engine room of a sort of general fac tory of five stories, which fronts on Columbia street, South of State street, Brooklyn, and occupied more than two-thirds of the block, running through to Atlantic sireet. A dozen manufacturing firms had portions of the building and employed altogether 60 hands, chiefly young women, all of whom were at work. Before an alarm could be sounded, the in flammable tinder, like the woodwork of the ex terior, was ah abiaze, and the first firemen who arrived,found many of the panic-stricken female operatives crowding, shrieking wildly, at the windows which opened upon the inte rior area of the works. Two wings of the factory, running towards Atlantic avenue, were the only portions not fiercely blazing and the women might have been saved with out difficulty had they kept cool Ladders were run up to them promptly hut the imperiled girls had already begun the dangerous experiment of throwing themselves out of the second, third and even the fourth story windows. Firemen and volunteer life savers did their best to catch those who jumped and none were badly hurt, considering the risk they ran. In the excitement of the accident, it was found almost impossible to get a correct list of the occupants ot the factory so as to get at the loss of life. Meeting Their Doom. It is known, however, that the foreman of the factory, who was also the engineer, was burned He gave the alarm,and then returned to the burning building to aid in extinguish ing the flames, which spread so rapidly that he was overcome almost as soon as lie reached the death trap. It is also feared as many ns ten of the wo men operatives are in the ruins. The inflam mable character and peculiar construction gave little chance to save tne factory. It was so narrow and possessed so many windows with wooden casements,and so many interior shafts that it was like a blast furnace within the first half hour, and returned streams of water in the shape of steam with out in the least diminishing the brightness of the blaze Shortly after 10 o’clock, the roof collapsed and the Columbia street wall immediately af terward bulged in and fell. A few minutes afterward, the interior wall facing Atlantic Avenue, gave way with an almost explosive violence and four firemen were caught in the ruins. As soon as possible the firemen were got out from the debris. The only one whose name could be ascertained was Barney Iioake of No. 4 engine. The other men belonging to the same company were taken to Long Is land hospital. The Brooklyn Eagle extra says of the burning of the Abbott building this morning: Workmen are now engaged in searching for their Missing Comrades. The foremen of the different shops, are ener getically gathering their forces, and an effort is being made to ascertain the names of the missing. The belief prevails in police cir cles that the calamity is even greater than at first reported. Some assert that there were no less than 45 or 50 men and girls in the shaky structure when it gavejway. A large force of men, including all who were fortunate enough to escape from the building uninjured, arp now actively engaged in turning over the debris with a view of sav ing some of the less seriously injured under the ruins. The building was owned bv Na than Cushing of Boston. The lose is esti mated at 8250,000. Later—Four firemen were injured, three fatally. The loss of life at this time cannot be estimated. The latest report gives the number of missing persons at 25. The Evening Post says the cause of the Brooklyn fire today, was this About 9 o'clock this morning,while a num ber of young men were engaged in shoring up one of the walls of the old Brooklyn Flint Glass works, on a block bounded by State and Hicks street, Atlantic Avenue and Columbia Place, Brooklyn, two of the jacks gave wav, causing the wall of the structure to fall. On the second floor of the building was a soap manufactory. The furnaces were all alight and as the building fell, the Coal* Set Fire to the Ituins. The fire quickly spread to the rest of the building in which there »ere about 250 men and women at work. Soon after the firemen arrived, the wall of the building fronting on State street fell, burying a num ber of fltemen, policemen and others. The firemen quickly rescued them,only three men being seriously injured. When the wall that was jacked up fell, a number of men were at work on it They have not been seen since. Rosa Par tridge, an employee, is missing. Edwin Butler was >een by his brother to jump from the second floor into the ruins. He has not been seen since. Four of the men employed by the company are also missing. Chief Nevins said, “I believe there are at least 25 people in the ruins. There may be more. Later—Three bodies have been taken trom the ruins. They were burned beyond recog nition. Wm. Sanford was employed by G. M. Young Co., .in the first floor. H.'said “ten tons of silica, which were to be used in the manufacture of soap., was brought into the building yesterday. The Building Considered a sham. The structure was so rickety it is surpris ing it did not tumble down long ago. It was a common saying among the people who worked in it, that they risked their lives every time they entered it, and when the silica was brought in we joked each other as to whether the old place was strong enough to stand the heavy weight. In one wiug of the building there were at least 60 persons employed and I will be very much surprised if more than 40 of that number made their escape. In my opinion .at least 20 were caught beneath the falling timbers and buried beneath the ruins. Most of them were women.” Wm. Payne said: •‘Just after the fire broke out, I was afraid it would extend to my house, so I got on the roof to watch its progress. I then saw a man. blinded with the smoke, climbing to the roof of the button factory. He was followed by five or six oth ers. The flames were shooting up after them and all of a sudden the floors gave away. I heard a scream no five men could have made and then all those I saw had fallen into the ruins. Every one of these men must have been lost and there must have been many more with them. 1 knew at least 20 men who work lor Charles DeWit'er, watch mak er, and I only saw two or three of them about the fire. They are all afraid that their fel low-workmen are lost.” A Foreman’* Story. Henry Roeasles, foreman, recited the fol lowing experience: ••I had ten men at work and the first thing we knew of anything wrong was that the walls caved in on us. The only way I could see to eacape was to tear up the flooring, which I did. and dropped through to the floor below, w here 1 got out. The others got down by the stairway, then out ot the windows. As soon aa we got together we watched for each other, and could only mus ter five men, and we were the first out. 1 saw all who were in the room. They were near the wall that caved in and 1 don't see how they could eacape, as that part of the floor where they were fell in shortly after 1 got through the floor. They must have gone down in the ruins It is stated the building was without fire escapes and was constructed of flimsy ma terials. Many firemen were injured by the tailing wall. Many employes were injured and many are missing. Two or three firemen were in jured by the explosion of gas under the side walk in a vault. The occupants and their losses, as far as can be learned, are as follows C. W. Butler, yin manufacturer. 84,000: Benj. Moore, kalsomine finisher, 83.000; II C. F. B. Thurber, soap manufacturers, 810,000; Win. Durst, metal finisher, 85.000; George A. Young, machine shop, 83.000; Miles O. Hawes, button manufactory, 80,000; Howard Mole, gold refiner, n t f .usana, to be law clerk of tu xl. p-run o ot justice, Vice A. K. Dutton ha';■w.igncd. Uooinson was formerly priv.1,0 secretary to Senator .lone*. Dutton resigned some time ag to take effect May 4tti. and it was a singular coincidence that he died on the day in** resignation took effect. Joseph Nimmo, .fa chief ot the bur *«u of statistics, has resign*.I. at the request ot Sec retary Manning, to take effect on the qualifi cation of hi* successor, and it i* said that Win. F. Switxler ot Mi**otin, recentl\ ap pointed chief clerk ot tin* bureau, will he appointed to succeed him. It is turtner said that .I N. Whitney, who wa* removed from the office of chief clerk and w a* succeeded by Swit/ler, will be restored to that office. Secretary .Manning refuses to at!l:'in or deny these reports. Hon. John Goode, recently app*anted solicitor general, took the modified oath of office ami assumed the duties of the office this morning. The secretary of the treasury ha* notified Messrs. Pillsbury of Massachusetts and Chase of Maine of their appointment a* collectors of internal revenue, and has requested t hem to make arrangements for the transfer of offices. The bond of Pillsbury Im* been re ceived at the treasury department and nas been submitted to a solicitor for examina tion. H is expected that both these officers will assume their new duties the first prox. Secretary Whitney and Jno. Poach were in consultation today relative to the accept ance of the Dolphin by the government. No final decision was reached It is probable that another trial trip of the vessel will be ordered. The secret service authorities are investi gating yesterday's sensational incident of the shooting at the President's train. The only witness is Mr. McCabe of Baltimore, who savs he turned to look out ot tfie car w indow when he saw a man deliberately raise a revolver and three shots were heard. Mc Cabe drew his own revolver, hut before he could use it the train had sped past. He says he heard one of the bullets whistle past and saw the mail when he raised his arm to fire. Hasp Hull.

FADING AWAY. “Almost Certain that Charles II. Morton will not be made Postmaster.“ The Washington special of yesterday's Boston Post (detn.) has the following in re gard to Charles B. Morton's chances for se curing being the next postmaster of Augusta It seems almost certain that Charles B. Mor ton will not be made postmaster at Augusta, Me. Manley’s term expires on May 20, ami both the President and Mr. Viias desire to appoint Morton. He is vouched for by the best democrats of the State, who do not yet consent to withdraw his name. If he shall not be appointed eventually, it will be be cause he has been ton effective an opponent ol Mr. Blaine and his party friends. Senators Hale and Krye have told the postmaster gen eral that they will see to it that Mr Morton is not confirmed if lie shall be appointed, and it is believed that they will be able to accom plish their purpose. They base their opposi tion tin the ground that Morton printed the gravestone story in the New Age, but he also discovered Blame’s authorship of the Madi gan circular. And he did and wrote a good many other things that were offensive to the Maine republicans. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Morton can assure the President of his power to influence enough republican votes m hi* favor to overcome the opposition of Hale and Krye. As the matter stands now the President is not inclined to take the chance of rejection. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Mow York .ttonrv flatkel. tvf.ntnrj Report. Nkw York, May 6.
