Bayonnh, N. J., Dec. 31. The great burrel works of the Standard Oil com pany at Constable Hook have burned down, and the loss is estimated nt from one million upward. The fire started at 9:30 last night in the leading room of the barrel works. The entire Bayonue fire department piickly responded, and there were four steamers and three hook-anri ladder companies on hand in a short time, but when they arrived it looked as if the whole barrel factory was enveloped in flames. The barrel factory was filled with bar rels both completed and unfinished, there being hundreds of thousands of them. There were also great stocks of cut lum ber rendy to be converted into barrels. There were between one and two million barrel heads in the building and from ten to fifteen million barrel staves. Over 5(10 men including the police and remen, fought the flames, but soon found they could not control them. The stocks of lumber piled all about the building caught fire und burned fiercely nd there were five acres of flames licht- ing up the'surrounding country. next to the barrel factory were the hemical works and all efforts were direc ted toward savin? them. After a lonu and hard fight, during which the firemen worked in constant peril of their lives as single spark tailing among the cliemi- als would have been enough to cause nn explosion which would have blown them II into eternity, their efforts were suc- ccsslul and the chemical works were saved. It is difficult to get anv of the officers of the compnny to place an estimate pon loss, l hcv say it will amount to from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000, The company carries its own insurance. A CONFESSION, It Comes From the London Times War Firebrand. London, Dec. 31. The Santiago dc Chili correspondent of the Times today affirms on what he declares to be "the highest authority," that Chili would not feel humiliated in helping to the utmost of her power to terminate peacefully and in a manner Honorable to both herself und the United States, the conflict which but for the long and secret form of crim inal proceedure followed in Chili, which has allowed of constant false reports hostile to good understanding to be prorogated abroad, could never have attained such exaggerated proportions. i ne correspondent sa-g it is evident that there are firebrands who are anx ious for war, which would be disastrous to the best interests of both countries concerned. THE EXFOLIATION. Ness Cane Exciting Much Com- ueut iii Tennessee. The case of bone exfoliation which Thk Citizen wrote up some time ago, is stirring up a a good deal of talk in Ten nessee, where Miss Neas, the lady who sheds her bones, lives.

Wednesday's Knoxville Journal contains a number of nmduvits, made by persons who live near and know Miss Neas, and who testily positively that the story is true. One affidavit is made bv Miss Neas, and a long letter is written by Dr. T. K Males, Miss Neas' physician, and the gen- tlemnn from whom The Citizi:n ob tained its information. 2.000 CASES OF GRIP, And All of Them In One Town of 7,000 People. Skvuoi'r, lnd., Dec. 31.

ANOTHER NIHILIST PLOT TIMF.I.Y DIHCOVF.RY THF. PAHIS POLICE. Planning; To Blow t'p the French Chamber of Deputleti and the KuNHlan EiubaaHy Building: Many ArrewtH Made. Paris, Dec. 31. The people of Paris were startled today by a rumor that an extensive plot had been discovered in the Russian colony having for its object the destruction of the building in which the chamber of deputies meets and also the building occupied by the Russian em bassy. The conspirators, it is said, had ar ranged to blow up these buildings with dynamite. Knowledge of theplots came to the police in some unknown manner, and an investigation was immediately set on foot. Many of the refugee Rus sians residing in Paris and its suburbs huve been taken into custody. A num ber of bouses occupied by the suspects have been searched by the police, and it is reported that a quantity of incrimi nating documents were found. It is easily understood why the Rus sian nihilists should desire to wreck the Russian embassy and annihilate its oc- upants, but it is not so clear whv they should wish to destroy the French houses of parliament, unless as a kind of vica rious vengeance on the czar and his gov ernment. HAVE A CIGARETTE? The Tobacco Works' 140,000 a- Day Machine Has Arrived lire long Asheville will have added to her industries a cigarette factory. Several months ago an order was given by the Asheville Tobacco works for a igarette machine, the compnnv intending to begin the manufacture ol cigarettes on an extensive scale in n short while. The machine has been delayed from time to time, on account of litigation, so that the consumers of the cigarette in Asheville have almost despaired. Hut their hopes will revive, tor the long ex acted machine has arrived nnd is now in the factory at the intersection of South Main and Atkin streets. The machine is the 'Universal lung filler cigarette muchinc," and will when run up to its full capacity, turn out 140.0U0 cigarettes a day. Further, this is the only cigarette machine of the kind now in use outside of the trust, and is nn improvement on he Honsack machine. Thecourts decided that this is not an infringement upon any other patent. Although the machine is not very arge, yet it is very complicated, and will require the services of an expert to set it up and make it ready fur operating. A machinist will arrive here on t he se cond of January, whose business it will be to put the machine in running order. As soon as this has heen clone, the company will begin the manufacture of 10,000 cignrcttes a clav. One brand will be called "Asheville Air" Manager Fred. A. Hull s selection. The Asheville Tobacco works has se cured the use ot this machine lur ten years, with the privilege of extending to twenty, and also ot getting another ma chine if it desires. FINE BREAD.

Gen. uarcla Killed by His Soldiers Who Were Mainly Couvlets Oarzla Now Has Several Hun dred, If Not Several Thousand, Men Under Hi 1,1 Monterey, Mex., Dec. 31. News was received here last night that Gen. Lorenzo Garcia, in command of the regular Mexi can troops in the field in the northern part of Mexico, had been murdered by his command nnd that the entire lorec, numbering several hundred men, hud gone over to the side of the revolution ists, headed by Garzia. The private soldiers in the Mexican army are nearly all convicted criminals, who instead of 'leing given a term in jail are sentenced to serve with the mil itary. San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 31. Brigadier-General Stanley feels certain that un action took place yesterday between Garzia men and the regular troops. There are only about 300 United States troops in the field, while, if re ports be true, Garzia's band will not tall short ot 900 men. NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC. Court of Appeals Hill. Is with Uov, Aliianv, X. Y., Dec. 29. All doubt as to the complexion of the senate is dis tilled by the decisions ol the court ot ap peals, followed by the state board of canvassers tonight. The next legislature is democratic. In the senate, with one district still in doubt, the democrats have a majority of one, even allowing that Edwards, the iiidqicudent, will vote with the republicans, lu the as sembly the democrats have a clean ma jority of six, making both houses deiuo- ratic bv seven niaionly on a joint bul- lot. Today's decisions settle the senatorial disputes with a single exception, the ncnty-seventh district. 1 he cases are loscd so far ns the fifteenth, sixteenth and twenty-tilth districts are concerned, and the addition of Osborne Idem. I, Derby (rep.) and Nichols (dem. I to the roll makes the senate stand : Democrats, 1G; rcpublicons, 14; independent repub lican, 1, with the twenty-!eveuthdisulc to be settled in the house. New York World. The importance of this result to the democratic party in the stale of New York caniiut easily be overestimated. The democrats will now assume control of the state government, not by any doubtful title, but with the sanction ol the highest court and a court which hus shown itself able to rise above partisan considerations for the decisions render ed yesterday are in part favorable to the republicans. .New lork bun.
