ALMOST A FIRE-THE EFFECT OF A MIS-
sTATENEsT.-Yesterds afternoon Hr. Ed.
Fay in driving past Carletons carpenter
shop, Oh the corner of Orleans and Buffalo
streets, noticed that the shop was full Of
smoke. He at once notified Policeman
Frank Tompkins who went to the shop,
broke open the door and with the aid Of
Marshal Weber, who soon arrived, they
extinguished the flames, which had only
burned a few shavings and scorchei the
benches little. Mr.. Carleton says that be
lighted q cigar in the shop short time
before, which was probably the cause of the
fire.
The Union of this morning attributes the
fire to an incendisry, which false statement
has caused, as we learn, the insurance com
pany to cancel Mr.. Philips policy on his
building adjoining.

Second Ward Republican Club.

General Sheldon was present at a very
large meeting of this club Tuesday night
and spoke for considerable length of time
in his usual convincing and pleasant style.
He walked straight into the Democracy and
showed up its shortcomings both past and
present As the Democratic party was no
friend Of the government when assailed by
the armies Of the slave power, General
Sheldon is evidently not inclined to put
faith in any professions it may now
make favoring the people formerly
held as slaves; and his experience in Con
gress has furnished him with the strongest
proof that Democratic members of Congress
have invariably voted against every meas
ure that was intended to ameliorate the
condition of the colored people. Possessing
the knowledge of these things, he avails
himself of his present opportunity to let
facts be known, and does not fail to con
