THE FISHING CLUES AND THE JIAYOR'S
PROCLAM MA TON

On Saturday afternoon the members of the Gu
bolt American Club political organization on
Federal Hill, assembled to the number of about
twenty live at their hall on Light street extended
for a grand fancy dress parade. They were pre-
ceded by a negro band and headed by an ndividu-
al somewhat resembling cross between baboon
and military dandy of the last century. He was
mounted upon tall raw-boned hack and carried
in his hand a drawn sword. He wore a red coat
with immense ruiles protruding from his shirt
bosom; hat tapering offin peak with frilled
curtain hanging from its edges and overshadowing
the face, and pair of long boots with huge tin
spurs. The name ofthe individual thus fantastical-
ly habited, Col. James johnson. Immediately
behind the Colonel were four men abreast wear
ing red flannel shirts black pants and glazed caps,
bearing axes.
The negro band came next, and after them follow
ed a number of savages, some with rings in their
noses, tomahawks in their han DIS and precious little
clothing their bodies. They were painted and
bedaubed in most disgusting manner. The exces-
slve heat of the sun bringing out the perspiraton
caused huge drops gathering volume as they
coursedl to trickle down their faces and limbs and
streak the coats of paint and brick dust with which
they were smeared Among other notables were
number OF men dressed up as negroes of both sexes
Others as Turks, Cinnamon, Counts and Dons in
tarnished nery Near the end of the line an indivi
dual, dressed in blue flannel shirt and high crowned
hat with wide white band, carried over his shoul-
der large masons square (emblematic it is sup
posed another bore hod on his shoulder, while
third carried a scissors grinders machine. The
rear OF the line OF pedestrians was brought up bv
a pair of handsome chimney sweeps, finely accou-
tired for work, and last of all came representatives
of ''Mose" and "Lize," seated in a buggy drawn
by raw bones.
All along the line of march the Indians and re-
representatives. of ''Lize' and "Mose," who marched
on foot, amused themselves by dancing and throw
ing their bodies into the greatest variety of contor
tions. The club marched without the slightest in

to High, thence to Lombard and thence to Broad

Lombard, Sergeant Ray, with squad of the East

marched them in the direction of the station house.

FIRES.

On Saturday morning, at ten minutes past one
O'Clock, fire was discovered within the space (six
inches wide) between two frame dwellings on Will
son street. near Pennsylvania Avenue, owned by
Kelly Meinkran2 and Jacob Seeger. and occupied bv
the families Of Messrs. Wolf and Menkranz. The
flames spread rapidly, soon envelOping and destroy
ing both houses The fire communicated to third
house adjoining, also owned by Mr. Meinkranz and
occupied by FlOckcr. 1t was also destroyed. When
the fire first discovered, the families occupying
the tenementS in which it originated, were sound
asleep, and not until the flames had made great
headway they aroused. They lost every arti-
Gle OF furniture and barely escaped with their lives
The light made by the burning houses was very
great and could be distinctly seen from any part of
the western section of the city. Four of the steam
fire engines together with a hook aud ladder Com
pany were on the ground, but owing to the absence
of fire plugs and the small quantity of water avail
able, none of the steamers but the Alpha, No. |,
were put to work. She was supplied from pump,
by filling a large hogshead and sucking the water
from it. Considering that this was the first occa-
sion on which any of the steam engines have thrown
water under similar circumstances, the Alpha did
eXtremel y well and worked with quite as much eff
feet as a hand engine. The fire evidently had its
origin in incendiarism. The entire loss is estma-
ted by the Fire Inspector at $1,000. The houses,
however, are fully insured in Baltimore and Phila-
delphia Offices
At about O'Clock last evening a fire broke out
between the rafters in the roof of two-stOry and
attic brick dwelling No. l64 Vine street, near Ere
mont, owned by Oliver Tennison, and occupied by
John kinsey. The flames communicated with an
adjoining tenement, No. 1G6, also owned by Mr..
Tennison, and occupied by a lady named Mrs Seig-
Ter. The roofs of both dwelling gs were almost en-
tirely consumed before the fire could be extnguish-
ed. The houses deluged with water on ac-
count of the difficulty experienced by the tremen
in obtaining to the fire between the roof and
pastering of the attic story ceiling. Nearly all the
furniture of the occupants saved, and their loss
is consequently very trihing The damage done
the dwellings will not amount to more than $500,
and it is fully covered by insurance in the Fire
mans office.
The alarm of fire at l11@ O'Clock on Saturday
night was caused by the partial burning of some
coal sheds at Mount Clare Station, Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. The loss and damage was not great,
and is fully covered by insurance
