DESTRUC TIVE FlREI
The South Side Of Main Street from
DOwd's Alley to jackson Street
In Ruins.
LOSS $4,000.

day morning a fire was discov.
cred in the rear of John Jones'
billiard saloon, on the south
side of Main street, between
Market and Jackson streets.
The building which was the
property of Neh, Egan, & Slo;
cum, Cincinnati. was an old
frame, and the fire getting in
to a barrel of gasoline and the
liquors which were stored in
the back room, it spread SO
rapidly that in a lew minutes
it had extended to all parts OF
the house, barely giving Mr..
Jones, who occupied the Sec
ond story, time to escape with
his family. None of his goods
were saved except one trunk
containing a part of his wife's
clothing. His loss is about
$4,000, with no insurance. The
house was worth about 81 900,
but as it was owned in CinciE.
natl, we are unable to say
whether or not there was any
ins surance on it.
From the billiard saloon the
fire soon extended on the east
to the residence ofOwen Dowd,
and on the west to the resi~
dence of Horace Redd, thence
to the butcher shop occupied
by Robert Sage, z. Thomas
broom factory, and Mr. Redds
grocery. The four buildings
last mentioned were frame,
furnishing ready food for the
hungry flames, so that within
half an hour after the alarm
the whole block was a solid
sheet of flames.
At this time the wind was
blowing from the southwest
carrying almost a solid sheet oil
live Goals over the town in the
opposite direction, and 1t look
ed as though it would be almost
impossible to save any of the
business property of the town.
But the house-tOps, wi ich We're
damp from a rain the previou
evening, were now covered
with men, while hurrying men
and women below kept up IA
constant supply Of water and
salt, to fight of the fiend.-
With all their efforts their po,
sitions were getting hotter and
hotter, the danger was increas>
ing every instant, and just
when it appeared as if human
effort could be of no avail, the
wind suddenly shifted to the
opposite direction and the
town was saved.
Tie fire now sank almost as
rapidly as it arose, and before
the peep of day the whole
block was a smoking mass Of
ruins.
The stock belonging to Mr..
Thomas, Sage and Redd was
saved, but most of Mr.. Redds
household goods were destroy.
ed. Only a small portion of
Mr.. Dowd's household goods
were saved. Mr.. Redd, who
owned the four frame build
ings, loses not less than SO 500;
Mr. Dowd's loss is from $4,000.
to 5000; the various merchants
on Main street lose in the ag>
gregate about $500 by damage
in removal Of goods; L. ID.
Dodge loses about $50 in
goods which were stored in the
back room of jones' saloon.
The origin of the fire is not
known. The back room, where
it originated, was occupied as
lumber room, and In it was
also kept the barrel of gasoline
before mentioned. 1t was used
also as passage way by per.
sons going out of the saloon
the back way, and the proba
bility is that some person in
passing in or out carelessly
dropped a lighted cigar in some

r. the Editor If the heaneJee JoUrnal
have recently mailed TO you some of the
daily papers Of Richmond giving an account
Of cur municipal war. Yesterday the war
was furious and but for the timely interference
of Gen. Candy would have resulted far more
disastrously than it did. As it was, four col
orcd men were shot, one has died. and the 9TH
ers are considered mortally wounded. Many
others were badly bruised and beaten in the riot
Gus demonstrations. Our city has been in great
excitement for the past two days. The Gov
ernor acting under the authority Of an En-
abling act" of the Legislature appointed a
new council for the city and this body met and
proceeded to elect new Mayor. The old in
cumbent, not considering their doings valid
according to the constitution, declined 10 yield
to this newly elected Mayor, and he resolved,
unwisely, to demand the place by force, arm
ing summarily some hundred or more men

and his police force, numbering about 80 men,

did not profess to take sides with either party
in his action, but simply put stop to the pro-
ceedng. The old Mayor holding all the

allowed to continue to hold them till the mat

The executive session of the Senate on the

ification of the San Domingo treaty
The Senate, in Executive session, confirmed
the nomination of Eugene Schuyler to be
Secretary of Legation at st. Petersburg.
The resolution asking for the dismissal Of
General Schoepf from his position in the
patent office was pressed to a vote in the
House and carried through. He resigned
some days ago, not wishing TO embarrass Sec
rotary Cox, from whom he received his ap-
pointment
The final report from the cadet investiga-
ting committee occupied the time of the House
for more than two hours Thursday, and gave
rise to a debate that was at times somewhat
sharp and acrimnious. The bill regulating
the manner of future appointments TO West
Point and Annapolis, declaring that boys
must have resided for one year in the districts
to which they are credited, was easily put
through by vote so nearly unanimous that
there was no division.
One of the funniest scenes ever witnessed in
the House occurred Thursday when Mr..
Hooper on Boston had read an article in a
Philadelphia paper lccturing him for his ad-
vocacy of polgamy. The laundering editor
had of course confounded him with Hooper of
Salt Lake The matter gave rise to roars of
laughter.
The Senate Committee on Post Offices and
Post roads agreed to report a bill substituting
the line of mail steamships between San Fran
cisco and China to the extent of one million
dollars, with an amendment providing that
the Company shall construct at least one new
ship annually, and a recommendation that
such ship be Of iron.
There is getting to be considerable talk in
all official circles about the increase or reduc-
ton of the army. Congressman and others
from Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia
are pressing to have troops sent into their
States, and there is also a constant call for a
greater force on the frontiers.
