New York, September 3. A JTerald
bnllentin says: "About one hundred
jives are supposed to be lost in the fire at
T(irty-fifth street an4 "Tenfli ayenujj. A
piano factory, a school house and tene
ment houses' were bupied."
' Nef York, September The hcjiyies't
estimate of the loss is a jnillion. It is re
ported tlmt many uveal were lost, but the
rumors, are conflicting. It is probable
that, some qf tips workmen in the piano
factory yelo unable to escapcT
Anpther. account says that at noou the
fire was under control, but not extinguish
ed. About thirtv buildings are supposed
to be destroyed, and the loss of life will
be very great. Them is no hope that a
single vestige of the entire block, bounded
by Thirty-fifth aqd TJijitr-$istU streets
and Tenth and Eleventh arenues will be
left. The schwl house on the thirtyzfifth
street is already entirely demolished, and
the tenement houses on tjje four sides of
the block are already entirely in ruins.
Every moment only gives new assurances
that the result of this fire will be really
appalling. For the first hour or so hopes
were entertained that the loss- pf life, if
loss there was, would be very 6uiall, but
as the fprenoqn is advancing, it becomes
more ami more clear that the loss of life
will be very great. Among those who are
familiar with the factory and the number
of hands who are generally employed
there, it is now estimated that there must
be from seventy-five to one hundred bodies
burned within the ruins, aud the number
of those who may be injured in the sur
rounding houses from flight and falling
walls and accidents, caunot now possibly
be "estimated. The tenement houses will
have a sad record, for the homes of many
hundreds of families are deserted, and
women and children are around the neigh
boring streets perfectly bewildered in
their bereavement.

Kenneth Pa;,ner and the Managing Editor
of the National Republican Fight.
Washington, Sept. 3. The following
is Judge Rayner's statement of a personal
collision to-day: Upon Mr. Grow being
arrested upon a charge of forgery, bis
counsel applied to the Secretary of the
Treasury to direct United States District
Attorney Weils to arrest further proceed
ings in the case. The Secretary referred
the question to Solicitor Rayner, asking
for his legal opinion as to what jurisdic
tion the Treasury Department had in the
matter. Solicitor Rayner gave a detailed
opinion, taking the ground that the Treas
ury Department had no jurisdiction what
ever. Whilst the matter was pending,
Sotcldo called to see the solicitor in his
office. After first trying to persuade the
solicitor to give an opinion in favor of the
release of Grow, and failing in that, he
then ..threatened the solicitor that the
press would be down on him. The solic
itor replied: "publish my opinion iu the
case, and you may come down as soon as
you please." For six consecutive days
after this, the said Soteldo kept up a di
rect attack, assailing Mrt Rayner through
the columns of the Republican, in most
offensive and annoyir.g terms, and Mon
day evening, as the solicitor was leaving
his department for hpmc, he met Soteldo
on thesteps of the? treasury department.
Mr. Rayner said: 'Get out of my way,
you damned scoundrel," at the same mo
ment dealing him a blow iu the face with
his fist. Soteldo struck back. They
clinched, and after the usual scuffling in
such cases, they separated Mr. Rayner. "
The collision referred to, occurred on

!!P1G-TAIL, AFFJDAVITES,
&H D
STARTLING DISCLQouKESI '
Mr Editor : f I
Ifnotice in your paper of Ang. some
affidavits made by J. D. -Curry B. F.
Jones and others, which purport to le the
truth with regard to the seizure by James
H. Hodges, ex U. S. deputy marshal, "of
my stills and fixture?, and his subsequent
action with regard to them. In justice to
myself, and the public generally, I hope
that you will re-publish the same, togeth
er with my reply.
Though shamefully-abusec, personally,
by these parties, especially by B. F. Jones
& Hodges, and my prpperty unlawfully
taken, and surreptitiously disposed qf,
yet I preferred the court-house to public
print in vindication of my rights, aud the
exposure of their thefts : but these afiida
vites are in part, so untruthful, and in
effect intended to gloss oyer s,uch villians
as Jno. A, Murrill iu his palmist days
rnighf have envied, that I feel compelled
tq make my reply public, and let the peo
pie everywhere know, what character of
men we. have amongst us.
I have been a licensed brandy distiller,
for the past sx or eight years, and as my
stills were always registered, I never re
move them from the furnaces. About the
middle of last Dec. Hodges with two
other men came to my still-house in
riotous, drunken, and insulting manner,
tore my stills from the furnaces, and car
ried them to B. F. Jones', about three
miles distant, where they had a repository
for captured property, and from whence
they preyed upon the neighborhood, al
ways excepting Jonei' friends. Here they
made head-quarters for about four months.
I frequently went to see Hodges, propos
ing to give bond for my stills, but was
not allowed to do so, although it had been
permitted in-other cases. While I was in
Greensboro, at th Federal Court, last
April, I concluded that I would call upon
Col. Winstead (the Coll.) and inquire of him
concerning my stills. Hodges, whom it
seems, was"spotting me, hailed me, and
asked where I was going. I replied to
Col. Win steads office he said "I will go
with you. After we entered the office, I
began to talk to the Col. about my stills."
He did not seem to understand what 1
meant, when Hodges spoke up, and com
menced making, a verbal report. Win
stead remarked that he did not know who
he was, nor did he recognize him as an
officer in his, the 5th district nothing was
said by Hodges about blanks, nor was J.
D. Curry present. Winstead then re
marked to me tl.at he was busy, and for
me to call iu again before I left : or, if 1
did not have the opportunity, to call upon
his deputy Collector, Col. Martin at Win- J
ston, and that he would have "authority to
make arrangements about it. After leav- I
ing Winstcads office, I was approached by
B. F. Jones, who said that my stills would
be sent to Greensboro to be sold, and de
sired that I should let him (Jones) keep
them, and replace them with four old
ones, that my stills were too valuable to
be sold. This I declined to do. I did not
see Col. Winstead again, and at Forsyth
May court, I went to see hisdeputy. Col.
Martin. He informed me that there had
been no return of my stills at the office,
and that there were no papers against me;
and to inform Jones of the fact, aud direct
him to turn over to me my property. I
sent the message to Jones, by Jno. II.
Stoltz and Jones' reply was, that my
stills had been stolen from him some time
before that, and the reason that he made
no "fuss about it was, because he thought
that I had got them." I then commenced
to inquire around aud found that he hud
one of them, in Tesh &. Bruebaker's blockade-distillery,
making whisky for him, he
furnishing the grain, and they paying him
a gallon of whisky for a bushel of corn.
Bruebaker, I understand, says that the
way he got the still was, that he hatl one
of his own, of a different size, which Jones
wanted to set up in Jones & Jordan's
gov't, distillery, and that Jones traded him
my still for that one. Two more of them
were in a tobacco-barn, on Jones' premis
es, and the fourth one in Jones' & Jordans'
government distillery. After hearing these
facts, I took out a Search Warrant, and
found the property as above described, and
identified it as mine, by several good wit
nesses. The still in the distillery, I did not
swear to, because of its leing on the fur
nace and running. This was on Monday
and left with the undcrstanding-that I
would be back on the following Saturday,
at which time Jordan promised me that
everything should be cold, so that I could
tear out and examine. Before Saturday
came, the still had been torn out, by some
one or other than myself, and secreted.
So I never got to examine it at all, though
satisfied it was my still, I did not care to
swear to it, while it was on the furnace.
I identified one of my still-caps at Jor
dan's house, and he said, that he goj, it at
the same time that he did the still. The
next day (Tuesday) Hodges & Jones, had
the officer who executed the Warrant, the
posse, and myself all arrested under a
U. S. Warrant for taking government prop
erty ! (Queer places for government prop
erty !) And Jones' nephew, Charlie Jones,
the U. S. Commissioner, bound us all to
the federal court at Statesville. This he
did within a few hours of our arrest, w ith
out giving us an opportunity to have a
single witness, and in defiance of our
'move for a continuance on those grounds.'
Thus, with indecent haste, was f'mock
trial" completed.-
Now for a word or two about the affida
vites, and the character of the men who
swore to them. TW first man, J. D.
Curry, came from Davidson to Yadkin
co., as a teamster for B. F. Jones, and
has been a pliable character in his hands
ever since. It jvas sworn in open court
at Winston, by two as respectable men as
this county can boast, that B. F. Jones'
character Jbr truth was bad. P. C. Jones
Js a brother of B. F. Jones, and. good peo
ple here believe that he will swear to, or
do any other bad act, that B, F, Jones
prompts him to d67 -Harrison, I know
nothing about, but.cart prove. . by aa re
spectable men as five, in i Yadkinville
Marler, Douglas and others -that I persis-
tautly refused to give Hodges any such
certificate. It is a well known and accept
ed-fact, by all good men in this neighbor
hood, that every one of those men, who
signed these affidavits, with, 7 perhaps,
the exception of Harrisou, are confreres
in gqilt with James H. Hodges, and
Sharer in his iniquities.
Hodges, naturally, is a bad man, and
under the ipfjuence of B. F. Jones, as he
was and is, it is only a question of capaci
ty to what depth4n crime they will sink.
If Hodges reported my stills to Col. Win
stead, why didn't he get Col. IVinste-afs
certificate ? That would have settled the
matter, an iT that is what a man, honestly
anxious for the truth to be known, would
have done; but, instead, ho gets the sig
natures of his partners in crime. Now,
about that "blank. Does a carpenter,
when he goes to work, forget his tools!
HodgesJcame to this section of country
for the express purpose of capturing stills,
and mine. were of the first taken. Out of
blanks that early ? And besides, in the
interim of four months, from the time he
seized my stills, iintil hewsis in Greens
boro, to my certain knowledge he was in
Salisbury more than once, and all of this
time was in tri weekly communication
with both Statesville and Greensboro'
Xo, there hablank place in his duty, nnd if
I were not afraid (?) I would ask, what per
centage of the profits Jones gave him 1
And again, at the very moment that he
makes a "blank, an excuse, ke is in the
collector's office, where he can get any
number of them." Why di(Tnt he fill a
blank then ? Deputy Col. Martin says he
never did report ; Winstead, himself, by
taking action, says he didn't, and thus it
is.
This is the case hurriedly, and briefly
told. Were 1 to write you all the rascality
of these men in this case alone, you would
have but little room in your paper for
aught else : and were I to attempt to in
form the public of all of their rascality,
immorality and debauchery connected
with their operations in the Rev. while
Hodges was disgracing the service iu this
commuuity, one volume of your paper
would scarcely record it.
1 hope that these few lines will satisfy
these men, that, at least, a part of their
infamy is known, and 1 can assure them
that there is much more in process of.de

Yon pan vriih Ihpse chemicals make your

money paid for high priced commercial Guam B.
Ttieosi is but one-loiirth the eoct of coiuiucr
ciid ferliiizers. We will show by the follow
in" certificate, from parlies who have used
chemicals for the past three years, that the re
sidl is much greater and therefore more satis
factory. -
Four hundred pounds of this Compost sown
broadcast over one acre will produce you a
double yield of wheatand iwo hundred pounds
peracre, undtr corn planted exactly three f et
apart, each way, wilt give fifty bushels of shell
ed corn to the acre on the poorest land.
One horse in one vear will produce enough
manure, which with the aid of our Chemicals,
making it a concentrated manure,' to go ovr
twenty acres of land.
These Chemicals should be bonght in August
and September for wheat crop; and from De
cember to March for cotton and corn, as it re
quires from thirty to sixty days to make the
CornKst perfect.
CifRead the following certificates from the
best la tiners in this and the adjoining coun
ties: Elm Grove, July 23, 1877.
To lh? Farmer of Scotch Irixh 'Townxhip and
the Farmers generally : Having made and aj
plied one ton of t lie Harris Compost, on the
present growing crop of corn and tobacco, and
considering the appearance id' the corn and
tobacco, at the present state of growth, 1 would
recommend not only the farmersof . 1. Town
ship, but the farmsr generally to use the said
Compost. I have used some of the commercial
fertilizers and consider the Harris Compost
superior to any I have tried.

old licld that yielded nothing before nnd with
llie Home Made Fertilizer the yield was as
good as that of 1113 best land.

We. the undersigned, have used Hani' Em

in saying that it is by far the best and cheapest
Fertilizer that we know of. We intend to use
more largely this season.

This is to certify that I have .used live tons
of the Harrislvnpire Compost this year, and
find it equally as good if not better than any
commercial fertilizer I have used or noticed
used, even at the cost of sixty dollors per ton,
making an increase of 100 per cent, on stubble
lands. I expect to buy more larelv next
year. F. A. ARCItTBALD.

This is to certify that I have used Harris'
Empire Compost and am well pleased with it,
as it not only prevents rust, but is as pood as
any of t lie high priced Guanos the cost per ton
making it the cheapest Fertilizer sol-1
W. D. HYATT.
Green-ville County, S. C, 187G.
This is to certify that I used Harris' Empire
Compost last year on my land for Wheal, ami
though I did not give it a fair trial a I lelt out
one of the ingredient, but must suylhal where
it ras used my wheat was never better, and
where I did not ne it I find that it was very
indifferent. I shall ue six tons this Spring. I
consider the forma'a invaluable to farmers.
Yours respect fill I v,

Gaston i a, N. C, 1S7G.
Messrs. Wilson & Black Gentlemen: It gives
me much pleasure to state that 1 used the com
post bought of you last winter, and must say
that I am highly pleased with it. I used it on
an old broom sedge field that would produce
nothinz, and must say the result is astonishing.
I consider it an invaluable compost, and just
the thing to bring out our old worn out lands.
Yours, verv respect full v,
Dr. J. F. SMA'ER.
Mecklenbui g, Co., N. C, 1876.
I take pleasure in stating to my brother far
mers all over the country that I used, last year,
Harris' Empire Compost, under loth corn and
cotton nnd the result was astonishing to all my
neighbors.
The cost was only one-fourth of what I had
been paying for commercial fertilizers.
LENS.IIOOK.
Mecklenburg, Co.. N. C. 187C.
This is to cestify that I used Harris' Empire
Compost last year side by side with several
commercial fertilizers' and I find that the yield
from Harris' Compost was one fourth greater
and the quality better than any. It makes the
cotton mature better, and in my judgment, it is
preferable in every respect. The -cost was one
fourth the cost of the high priced guanos, and
one ton will go over ten-acres of land.
Yours truly, I. C. KOBI'NSOX.
