The' order reads: To the heads of departments: GBNTLEMEX--By an order of the City Coimott passed Monday niirht the City Hall la ordered clos«ri to-morrow, for the transact ion of pub­ lic business in order to properly commemorate the birth of his august majesty Emperor Will­ iam of GeriViany. Pursuant to this order of the honorable the City Council you are hereby instructed to carefully observe the order lQ question by closinp your department to the transaction of all business excepting the rou­ tine business pertaining to your department. This will require the retention during that day in your department oi such employes as corne in contact with the public at large visiting your department for the transaction of nec­ essary business, and it will also include all those city employes who transact city business outside the City Hall. I de­ sire to here commend the spirit which dictated the settinjt apart of this day and the 8ettinft apart of March 17 by the city council as American holidays, and 1 trust that the council in its wisdom, havinsr recognized the cosmopolitan character of our population by granting holidays to the different national­ ities whose blood here commingles in the pro­ duction of the American citizen, will not de- plivc- the city c-inplo\esin uiiiei uaLiiiualiiies of opportunity to properly commemorate the birth of all dead saints and heroes, as well as the birth of all reigning monarchs. If the cat­ alogue of dead and living saints and monarchs be not sufficient to exhaust the secular days of the year, I would suggest that the council as a change appropriate the few remaining days by closing the Crty Hall in order that we may commemorate the birth of some American hero.

The de­ partment of transportation is thoroughly equipped and ready to handle ten times the daily bulk that has yet been re­ ceived on the grounds. Preliminary estimates give 80,C00 oar loads as the probable amount of ex­ hibits that must be received, unpacked, and installed beforo May 1. Up to date only *2,400 car loads have been received.

When he came back ha said: "It will take 5,000 men a month to olearaway this rubbish. We have the biggest job or house cleaning on hand that has ever been undertaken." Comparatively little oleaning up was done last fall for the dedication exer­ cises.

DUN 4 Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Uis rlbntlon of goods contt'»ues» larjre for the season in spite of c\truordinary weath­ er, some failures, and a tight money mar­ ket. Storms and severe cold have retarded trading and collections throughout a large part of the country, and doubtless cause Eauch of the monetary pressure, though a larger part Is duo to the great excess of Imports over exports. Europe Is not ship­ ping products from the country as usual lending money as much as u$ual to May 1. It is highly important that the transportation department should not be overcrowded at the last moment, and that is why exhibitors have been asked to come early and avoid the rush. Chief Holcomb's department has already handled some unique exhibits. It has taken the trunk of one of Cali­ fornia's mammoth trees into the grounds on ordinary flat cars, removed it with skids and i oilers inside the United States government building, where it is now erected in the 1all dome. The de­ partment has landed a United States postal car on the 'track inside the government building and swung it to its allotted place with special cranes and jacks. In the mines and mining build­ ing an exhibit of the Pottstown Iron company, consisting of a steel plate 15^ feet long. 20 inches wide, and half an inch thick, has been put in place. In the same building the department has landed two pieces of red sandstone from Wisconsin each about twenty-two feet long and about three and one-half feet square, also six more cubes of the same material, measuring- five feet on each side. Kethoda Of Installation. ' The methods of installation are sim­ ple and yet so flexible as to be able to cope with any emergency. All exhibits arriving by train come in over the Bal­ timore and Ohio or Illinois Central tracks. From the railroad entrance to, the grounds the installation department has laid tracks to all the important buildings. On account of the peculiari­ ties of landscape gardening and the location of the buildings it is not possi­ ble to run these tracks directly into the buildings. Special push cars and transfer tracks are provided. There are no full-sized tracks in any of the buildings except machin­ ery hall, where the exhibits more than 150 of which are under roof. After the buildings have been thorough­ ly cleaned exhibitors will scatter rub­ bish from one end to the other in un­ packing their exhibits and putting them, in place in the pavilions. Then the: army of scavengers will have the work* to do over again. "They will be sweeping rubbish ont of every building on the grounds an hour beforo President Cleveland starts the machinery," said Colonel Massey. "The exhibitor^ will take all the time possible to arrange their dify?lgyj3, ftftd* TOMirniiV. i, UNLOADING EXHIBITS IN THE TRANSPORTA­ TION BUILDING we must prepare for a general cleaning up of the buildings the night and morn­ ing before the fair opens to the public." Several of the big buildings, notably mines, machinery and electricity, have been the cause of considerable com­ plaint lately on the part of exhibitors. The floors were too weak to stand the enormous strains of heavy machinery and masses of ore and stone heaped upon them. Exhibitors had to go to the carry products here until fbey are needed, and accumulated .stocks at commercial centers, with slow collections in the coun­ try, make the demand for money unusually large. The natural results of the frreat Beading collapsc are seen in some failures at Philadelphia and a more cautious spirit among lenders. Money is not. as usual, tight only on call or for speculation, but there has been greater difficulty here than for many years past In effecting com­ mercial loans. In spite of all these things confidence is unabated and business is re­ markably large, with some signs of im­ provement. UNLOADING IN THE MINES BUILDING.

In Machinery Hall the immense traveling cranes span the center of the tracks, and are capable of handling twenty tons each. In the other buildings heavy exhibits are han­ dled by lifting them from the ordinary cars to the push cars, when they are run inside the building to the allotted space. In th's work the department uses two eelf-propelllnc locomotive trains with a capacity of twelve tons each. These trains can be moved around the grounds by means of turn­ tables or massed in any one department if required. Special methods are employed for in­ stalling exhibits in the Transportation Building.

The British steamer Covontry. Capt. Wilson, Trom Fernandina, Feb. 10, has arrived at Bremen. She report* that at 2 o'clock in the morning of March 4, when in latitude 42 north, longi­ tude 46 west, she passed a lifeboat painted white bearing the name "Nar­ onlc." The boat was floating kosl up­ ward. At two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day another • lifeboat from the Naronic was passed. This boat gave evidence of having encountered heavy seas. The mast and oars of the lifeboat had been lashed together and attached to the painter and then thrown over­ board as a sea anchor to keep the boat's head up to the wind and sea. Judging from appearances, neither of the boats had been long adrift. The position of the drifting boats was al out south by west of Sable Island, on the banks of Newfoundland. There is a chance that the occupants of the boats were picked up by a passing steamer. All doubt as to the fate of tbe Naronic has been dispelled by the sighting or her life-boats. That she is now at the bottom of the ocean cannot be disputed, but the cause of the disaster is, of course, still a matter of conjecture. It may be, judging from Ihe latitude and longitude in which the boats were seen, that the steamer struck either an ice­ berg, though It is still rather early in the season for ice to be adrift so far south as the banks. It is hoped that the mystery of the loss of the steamer will soon be cleared up by the landing at some port of members of her crcw. A vessel which passed Deal signaled ..-RNN, NR.. .

Rarely, if ever, has there been so much excitement around the dark, grim building of the Court of General Ses­ sions in New York as there was Monday morning. Carlyle W. Harris, after having exhausted every pos­ sible means to escape the penalty for the murder of his wife, was to be finally re­ sentenced by Recoi • der Smyth. No one was allowed to enter except newspaper men who were authenticated and persons hearing tickets of admis­ sion signed by the District Attor­ ney. The court-room was crowded by 10 o'clock. A dense throng of men, boys and women, too, surrounded the building. Harris was b r o u g h t i n t o c o u r t handcuffed to an offi­ cer. His skin was sal­ low. his eyes large an 1 sunken and under them deep-blue rings. And no wonder. The fero­ cious strain of anxiety the young man has b e e n u n d e r g o i n g would reduce the vital forces of the strong­ e s t . W h e n H a r r i s was asked if he had anything to say why P. BARHIS. sentence should not be passed upon him he leaned both hands on the rail, bent forward and be­ gan to speak in tones EO low that the deputies who stooi close beside him on each side could not hear what he taid* and leaned their heads to cat?h the words. There was a buzz of whispering among tho spectators, which was stopped by the Court. At tho end of Harris' speech Recorder Smyth sentenced Harris to to electro­ cuted the week beginning May 8. Tho case of Harris is almost without parallel in the history of poisoners, not so much fcr his method of ridding him­ self of the girl he secretly married, but because of his remarkable fight, aided by his mother, to escape the law's pen­ alty. There was a sort of smart clum­ siness about his administering the poison to his wife, just as a conceited JUDGE JEIRFTLWI:* to be minister to Denniark, is a brother- in-law to Senator Voorhees, and a law­ yer of high standing in New York. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, who is to become railroad commissioner, served in the United States Senate twelve years. The nomination of Er­ nest P. Baldwin, of Maryland, for first auditor of the treasury is one of the ex­ ceptions which President Cleveland has made to his rule not to reappoint ex- officeholders. James G. Jenkins, of M lwaukee, who steps into Judge Gresham's shoes as Judge of the Seventh Circuit Court, has been Judge of the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The ap­ pointment, which was decided on by Presi­ dent Cleveland and . a n n o u n c e d s e v e r a l weeks ago, was rec­ ommended not only by the Wisconsin bar but by the Democrats In both houses of the Legislature. Judge Jenkins is a cousin of Gen. Worth of Mexican war fame, and was born at Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Jan. 18, 1834. Ex-Senator James B. Eustis, of Louisiana, is a native of New Orleans, and was born in 1834. At the outbreak of the war he joined the staff of Gen. Magruder in the Con fed* erate army, and served until the close of the war. He was elected a mem Der of the Sta<e Legislature before the re­ construction a'jts, and was one of the committee sent to confer with Presi­ dent Johnson upon Louisiana affairs. He was called to serve in the United States Senate from 1877 to 1879. COST OF THE GREAT BALL. IaOM of Pension Office Employes* Services Amounts to 964,000. General Baum, the late Commissioner of Pern ions, has addressed a letter to the Secretary of the Interior inviting attention to the loss sustained by the government by the use of the pension office building as an inauguration ball­ room, the loss alluded to accruing prin­ cipally through the absence from duty duty of employes, made necessary by the work of pi eparing the building for the usual reception and ceremonies on the even'ng or inauguration day. This General Kaum places at about $8,000 per dav. or, on the last occasion, $64,000, eight days being consumed in preparing the building. The suggestion is made by the late Commissioner that in future a separate building should be provided for ceremonials of this character. , - < Ifow the World Wags.

Felt Fifty Mite. | The Planet mill, at Litchfield, III, bnrned to the ground at an early hour Tuesday morning. It was tho largest winter-wheat mill in the world. The explosion accompanying the fire sho»k the surrounding country for .miles and threw nearly every chimney in the city. There is hardly a plate glass left in­ tact. In the Immediate vicinity of the mill houses were torn completely down and smashed like egg shells. The mill­ wright, John Carr, was burned to death while attempting to escape. The loss on the mill alone is $503,OuO. Many in­ dividuals in tha vicinity of the mill sus­ tained heavy damages to their property. The insuranoe on the mill was $250,- 000. The entire loss will not fall short of $1,000,000. At 3:20 o'clock in the morning fire was dicoverel in the. Planet mill. While the fire department and the sud­ denly aroused citizens were hurrying to the scene of the lire the entire city was startled by an explosion, the like of which has rarely been equaled. Houses trembled upon their foundations, chim­ neys toppl< d and fell, sides and fronts of buildings were crushed. Women were almost crazed fright and men were panic-stricken. Few could conjecture the cause, the majority appearing to think that it was the cracic of doom. Those who were in the streets at the time of the explosion say there was a rumbling sound, then simultaneously with the terrific/report a vast (olumn of dust and smoke arose from the burn­ ing buildings, and from its midst a cen­ tral volume of flames, by some de­ scribed as a ball of lire, ascended high in the air, which instantly was filled with flying debris. The report of this explosion was heard at Taylorsville, Hillsboro, Staunton, Highland, Van- dalia, Mendota and all other points within fifty miles. The fire depart­ ment's efforts were useless so far as saving the mill property was concerned. Fortunately the night wa3 calm and the buildings adjacent were not injured. At daylight the Planet Mills, with a ca­ pacity of 2,500 barrels of flour per day, together with the immense elevator and its contents, as well as a number of cars loaded with grain, were a mass t»f smoldering ruins. Strange to 6ay but one life was lost-r- that of John Carr, the bead millwright, of Waterloo, who leaves a wife and three children. Carr had entered tho burning mills intending to save some tools. In the explosion he lost hie life, and his charred remains were recovered. Many persons were injured either by the force of the explosion or by falling de­ bris. Houses Torn to Pieces. In the vicinity of the mill the damage sustained was very great. Houses were twisted and torn to pieces in a manner which can only be equaled by a cyclone. Immense timbers were thrown to a great height, and falling end down­ ward, were stuck in the ground to a depth of from two to threa feet. Tin rooting and material composing the mill was strewn everywhere. Many escapes from death were truly miraculous. A house occupied by Andrew Duncan and family had its entire side caved in the family escaping with but slight injuries. Next to the loss sustained by the mill­ ing company, Mr. Neuber suffers the greatest loss. His stock of groceries was ruined and his residence badly twisted and crushed. Some of the losses sustained on dwellings, public buildings and busi­ ness houses are as follows: The Litch­ field Mill Company, on plant and ma­ chinery, $500.OuO, exclusive of 200,000 bushels of wheat; John Krauss, store and dwelling, $3,100; A. Neuber, store and dwelling. $1,000; E. Eichelroth, residence, $600; V. Hoffman estate, $2,000; Mrs. Michael O'Neal, $4»0; Beindorf Bros., $100; F. Windles, $100; Litchfield Hotel, on glass, $1,000. The loss of 'glass in the city will amount to $20,0J0. Hundreds of houses in the city suffered damages which cannot be estimated at the present time. The capacity of the mills at the time of their destruction was 2,500 barrels a day, their market being chiefly a foreign one. They were owned by Kehlor Bros, of St. Louis, incorporated under the name of the Litchfield Mill Company. Albert Smith was manager and Bobert Adams superintendent. Temporary of­ fice quarters have been secured in which to transact all business pertaining to tho company. Mr. J. B. Kehlor ar­ rived in the citjT in the morning. In an interview to-day he said: "It is beyond my comprehension how an explosion of such terrific violence could have oc­ curred in that, mill, as it was one of the cleanest and most orderly mills in th$ country." It is not known whether the mills will be rebuilt or not. "'4 : /. J * • r .V i • • 'w \ -k ",r «7*j SJKSd COAL WAR A HOT ONE, Tiie Courts and the Legislature Clu|;i|: Minnesota. " The Minnesota coal combine fight grows more exc ting hourly, and the Legislature and Ju-'ge Egan, of the Bamsey County District Court, have been arrayed against each other. The Court ordered the detention of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House, and had Kepresentative Walsh called before him and demanded possession of the letter books of the coal combine. Mr. Walsh refused to acknowledge the authority of the court so far as giving up the book was con­ cerned, nor would • he tell where the book could be found. At the time Mr. Walsh was before the court the Senate was considering the House joint resolution instructing the Investigating commitee to retain the letter book. Sen­ ator Ignatius Donnelly made another pf his scorching speeches, when Senator Sanborn wanted to have the Legisla­ ture withdraw and leave the whole mat­ ter to the decision of the court. He de­ nounced not only the coal combine but in the strongest terms attacked Judge Egan, whese personal character as well as official acts were alike condemned. The Hou se resolution was finally adopt­ ed by a vote of 34 to 3. In the House an even warmer debate was indulged in and threats of impeach­ ment of Judgo Egan for detaining an officer and a member of the legislature were freely expressed. Various1 Meth­ ods of procedure were proposed, and finally a call of the House was ordered and Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Wells was instrusted to bring into the House the body of Bepresentative Walsh, de­ tained illegally by the District Court. The greatest amount of feeling was ex­ pressed during the debate, and several speakers advocated the passage of res­ olutions instructing the Governor to call out the militia to enforce the orders of the Lej s a ure. . .
