Forty MIocka lu the City of Bay City, Mich., Humeri Over The Firemen Had to Kuu to Save Their Liven. Detroit, July 26. A special from Hay City to the Journal says: The terrible hre which started yestcr ly afternoon continued to rage all night and the sun arose this morning on field of ashes extending over 10 blocks. It was impossible to check the flames irried before the gale until everything in their truck had been consumed and it is estimated at least 500 buildings are in ruins, representing a loss of probably $1,500,000. Soon after the flames started in Miller & Turner's mill it was seen that this end of the city was doomed. There was a tcrrilic wind blowing from the south west and great bunches of burning oards were lifted and scattered 'about the lumber yards. The first alarm was quickly followed by a general one, calling out every lire apparatus in the city. Almost before the firemen knew it the cloud of flames and embers had swept across Harrison street and in fifteen minutes the east row of frame buildings from .IM to 30th streets, four blocks, was ablaze. The firemen would no sooner lay their mes of hose than the lire would be uoon them and they would be compelled to lice for their lives. liurniiig boards were carried 200 fect in the air and wherever thev dronncd some house or store would al once add ts fuel lo the conflagration. TllVlNIi TO SAVE COL. KING. He Will lie Taken lie fore the 1'iiltccl States Court. Mumimiis. July 21-. The attorneys of Col. II. Clay King, condemned to be hanged on August 12 lor the murder of David II. l'ostou in this city on March 10, lH'Jl, have applied for and have received a writ of habeas corpus, citing Sheriff McLcndon to produce the body of 11. L lay King beiore tlic United Mates circuit court, Judge Howell li. Jackson, it Nashville, on thursilay next, and plead to the nllcgcmcut that Col. King is held a prisoner by mm. During the trial of King in the lower court which lasted over a month and oc curred in the midst of the heated term. the officer in charge of the jury took them on an excursion across the river on a ferryboat. 1 he trip was taken merely lor fresh air and recreation. The jury was kept apart irom other passengers, and the usual precautions were observed. But the boat touched Arkansas soil, and the de fence made of the incident its chief reliance for a reversal in the state supreme court. 1 here were numerous other exceptions taken and argued, but of all the grounds for a new trial urged, none was dwelt with such stress as that trip to Arkan sas. 1 he contention was that the mo ment the jury got beyond the jurisdic tion of the court, it was in legal effect then and thercdisbanded. Thcreturn to Tennessee did not re-establish its legal status as a jury, hence a conviction by such a body of men was not due process of law. N. Y. Sun. Gov. Buchanan has received letters from Senators Carlisle and Voorhccs in favor of commuting King's sentence. THE CLEVELANDS AT HOME, A Quiet Trip lo Buzzard's nay in Mr. Beiiuedict's Yacht Ottelda.

Leiter, of Chicago, his wife, three daughters and two maids, were passengers aboard the steamer Oueen, which run upon the rocks near Sitka, Alaska. The steamer was crowded, and the officers had their hands full to prevent a stampede. Mr. Inciter sharplv criticised the man ner in which the boat was being handled. Capt. Carroll requested the millionaire to keep quiet. Mr, Lcitcr would not stop, and then in the hearing of all on deck, Capt. Carroll said : I am navigating this ship, and il you do not like the manner in which it is be ing navigated it is not too late to go ashore." The millionaire was indignant. He would go ashore, he said. Capt. Car roll said to the first officer : Lower a boat and take Mr. Leiter ashore and do not bring him back again." lhc boat was quickly lowered and manned. Lcitcr was warned that he could secure no comforts of life at Sitka. He replied that he could buy the town. Some say he claimed the ability to buy all Alaska. When everything was ready for the millionaire to go ashore his daughters had prevailed on Capt. Car roll not to insist on bis orders being car ried out. He replied that he would main tain discipline at any cost, but would not force the millionaire ashore if his dis cipline were maintained. So the unpleas antness ended without Mr. Letter being put ashore. New York World. CLEVELAND IS CONFIDENT.' Not Onlv Confident, But Anxious to Benin the FlKtat. Inwanatolis, July 2-1.
