( negro burglar entered the house of
another negro, named Stevens, on Ex-
change street, behind st. Mary'sC Church,
aud while he was engaged In rifIng the
trunks aud drawers, the owner came in
on him. Dropping his plumber he took
to bis heels, pursued by Stevens and
others whom he called to his aid. They
CHASED him through the residence Of
Newt Hart, Esq and out into Exchange
street, where be was headed of by de-
tective MeCnne, who came up aceiden-
tally. McCune drew his deFringer, the
| only weapon that he had, and tbs dsTkY
took refuge In a crowd OF children,
among whom McCune was of course
afraid to shoot. The robber, however,
moved "Out of that" and as he did so
MeCune took g shot at him, striking
him In the left shoulder. On this the
robber drew q revolver, ared st MeCune,
| and turned and fed, thus far making

Demurrers7 Filed.

The Cleveland Herald, says, in the
cases Of McArdle, Judge Miner, Dick
insOn and several others, indicted for
participating in naturalization frauds,
their attorney filed a demurrer 10 the
indictments on Tuesday, those who had
plead being alIoved.on motion, to with
draw their plea The demurrer is
based upon the ground that..the indict-
ments are not sufficient in[law to hold
the parties charged, in that that they
were drawn under law of Congress in
tended and made applicable to seamen
OF persons employed on board Ameri-
can vessels; and as the defendants are
not alleged to be seau1en or employed
on board American vessels, the indict-
ments are faulty. The hearing of the
demurrers will take place Dec 18th.

FriGhIfuI Accident in CleVe-
land,


The residence of L. NJ. Hubby, Pres
ident of the G. C. & @. R. R. was to-
tally destroyed by an explosion of gas
on Saturday evening last The resi-
denee being outside the limits Of the
CITY Of Cleveland, and beyond the gas
supplies of the city, was lighted with .
GAS manufactured mainly from gasoline,
Bv Bierce's patent generator. Gasoline
is known as most dangerous article to
use, and is thought to be next to nitro
glyceriue, in power, and the fearful re-
suit ia the present case, would indicate
that to be the fact. For safety, the
tank in which the gasoline was kept
was placed outside the building, and
covered with earth to a considerable
depth. The other portions Of the sp-
bsrstus was in the basement of the
house. The gas not burning well, on
Saturday night, Mr.. Hubby and son
vent to the cellar and tried to remedy
the defect, with temporary success;
But the light growing still DINNER, Mr..
Hubby returned to the the cellar, alone
with lighted candle and while stoop-
inc to examine the pipes, the light is
supposed to have come IN contact with
the gas, when an immediate and tre-
menJous explosion followed. Such was
the force Of the explosion that the house
was shattered from cellar to roof, as if
by an earthquake. Mr. Hubby was
badly burned about the head and face,
and was found inseDsible near the
house. few minutes after. His son
and wife, and Miss Ella Hubby, we're in
in the room above the basement when
the explosion occurred, and the first
iutimation Of danger they had was the
bursting up of the floor, and the rush
inc in of flames, Immediately with the
explosion. Young Mr. Hubby was
thrown up almost TO thecelling and fell
into the cellar, covered With the debris
Though badly injured, he was not 50
badly burned as his father, and had no
remembrance of how he escaped from
the house. His wife had one hand
badly burned and was severely bruised.
Miss Ella was the most dangerously
burned aud it is thought she cannot
survive. Her clothing all in flames,
and frantic with pain she leaped from
awindow. Numerous persons surroud-
ed her. and with osercosts smOthered
out the flames, and carried her into the
residence Of Colonel Doubleday. The
other members of the family, and the
servants, escaped without material in,
Jury. This frightful accident should be
a warning to all to have nothing to dc
with such dangerous gases Not long
since the Continental Hotel, in Crest
line, was destroyed by this SAINT
agency.
