ANNA DICKINSON Lecture. - The
prospect is that Miss Anna Dickinson
will have one of the largest and most
fashionable audiences to deliver her
lecture on Joan 81 Arc before, that ever
assembled in Washington Hall, if We
may judge from the rapid manner in
which seats have been sold. Those
who have not yet secured tickets should
attend to it this morning. A few eligi
BILE seats remain unsold. The price Of
tickets is 80 low that every one can at:
ford to 60. Tickets fifty cents, reserved
seats seventy-five cents. For sale at
Hamilton e. Hsrding's.

A NARROW ESCAPE FROM BURNING
On Friday night servant girl residing
with Perc. Harden, on La Belle avenue,
made ready for bed, ard not feeling in
clined to sleep lay down to read, plac-
ing her candle on a chair, we believe,
BY the bedside. She must have gone to
sleep while reading, for the first thing
she knew the bed clothes were in flames
and it was with the greatest difficulty
she escaped with her life. She was
somewhat burned about the arms in her
efforts to get out Of the burning bed
The candle had burned down and set
fire to the chair, which, together with
the washstaLd and bedstead, were badly
scorched before they could be extin-
guished

ALL RIGHT Now.-The burning OF
Chrisman & Debolds stable Yesterday
morning drove the Atlantic Engine
Company to seek new quarters. The
Finance committee Of the City Council
arranged with Donel & Gray for the
new engine house on the corner OF Fifth
and John streets, East Wheeling, and
the apparatus was housed there last
evening. There is no great loss with
out some small gain, saith the proverb.

ANONYMOUS WARNINGS. We men,
ton elsewhere the report that anony,
nous notes have been received by Ger,
tain of our citizens that their property
has been selected for burning. Since
writing that article, we have been in
formed that a similar threatening note
was received by Peter Hausenauer two
weeks prior to the burning Of his stable
on last Tuesday morning. If these
stories be true, he is a bold operator
who will give notice of his intention
and afterwards perform the act.

PRETTY GooD.-Some months ago a
railroad official received letter, signed
by about fifty gentlemen, many Of them
wealthy, stating that widow lady liv-
ing on the line OF the road had lost her
COW by being run over by the cars.
The letter stated that the woman was
very poor, and asked that she be paid
for the lost COW. The railroad official
replied to the communication that as an
official he could do nothing, but as a
private individual he would subscribe
ten dollars for the purchase OF a COW
for the unfortunate woman, the money
to be paid when the balance was raised
by the signers of the petition. From
that day to this the railroad official has
been awaiting reply.

CLAIMS THE: JURISDICTION. Saturday
Judge Melvin rendered his decision on
the question presented to him some days
since as to the jurisdiction Of the Cir
cult Court in suits brought against par
ties for violation Of the liquor law. At
the last session OF the Legislature, it
will be remembered, an act was passed
transferring the jurisdiction in all such
cases to the Municipal Court Of Wheel
ing, but the act did not provide for the
necessary machinery to carry it into ef-
feet. Several indictments for selling
liquor on Sunday having been found by
the Grand Jury, when the causes came
on for hearing before the Court.
Messrs. Pendleton Il Davenport de-
INJURED to the jurisdiction of the Court,
submitting the act mentioned above to
sustain it.
Judge Melvin's decision Saturday
was virtually that the Constitution con-
fers the jurisdiction of misdemeanors
upon the Circuit Court, and that, of
course, no mere act of the Legislature
could remove that jurisdiction. He
would not deny but that the Municipal
Court might have concurrent jurisdlc'
ton, but that the failure to provide
means for the trial of the causes named
above was fatal TO the act. He also de-
cided against the act because of its I'M
certainty.
We had hoped to be able to give the
decision of Judge Melvin in full, but
being unable to obtain it, because al his
we'll known objection to appearing in
print, modesty we respect, though it
inconvenience US, it will have to suffice
our readers to say that he decides the
act unconstitutional and that the Cir
cult Court has sole jurisdiction.
/ We understand that an appeal will
be taken from his decision and the
question will be ultimately determined
by the Supreme Court Of Appeals.

Another Fire.
Our Regular Sunday ConHa-
grafton
CbrlsIman & Deb0ld's Livery
Stable Burned.
MORE FIRES PROMISED.

Yesterday morning between three
and four o'clock an alarm Of fire was
raised. 1t was caused by the burning
of the extensive livery stable Of Chris
man L. Debold, corner of John and Main
streets
The fire department was on hand
promptly, and, it is considered by ALL
did their work as well and efficiently as
it was possible for men to do it. The
ruins show the skill and determination
with which the flames were fought.
The fire broke out in loft of the
stable, over the room occupied by the
Atlantic engine, and we have heard two
stories in regard to its origin. One was
that it caught from a stove pipe that
ran up from the Atlantic engine room
to flue in the loft. One report Is that
the loft was full Of hay, and another
that there was no hay in it. The other
story is that it was fired by an incen'
diary, and in support of this it is said
that two men were seen proving
around the place just before the fire
was discovered and that the same men
were met running north on Main street
near the Grant House by parties going
to the fire. From what we can gather
we are of the opinion that the fire
originated from the fiue, as it seems
pretty certain that there was hot fire
in the stove as late as twelve o'clock at
night.
The roof was burned oil of the front
portion of the stable and some five or
six sleighs and two wagons and a buggy
were destroyed. This part OF the build,
ing belongs to the Miller estate, and was
not insured. Loss, perhaps, $500.
The rear part OF the building, erected
by E. B. Young some four or five years
ago was saved uninjured. On this and
on Messrs Chrisman & Debolds stock,
there was an insurance Of $4,000 in the
Peabody and Andes Insurance com
panies. Their loss will not exceed
$500 probably.
The horses and the buggies, carriages
and othe, vehicles, except those men
toned above, were all got out uninjured.
The fine hearse, belonging to Friend 4
Son, kept in this stable, was got out
with great difficulty by some citizens
who chopped down petition and thus
saved it.
In this connection we may say that
ANONYMOUS notes have been received,
as we have been reliably informed by
Mrs. Mccoy, milliner, on Main street
above Union, Arbenz " Co., furniture
dealers, Main street, and by the Norway
Tack company, warning them to watch
for fires, as their establishments have
been selected for destruction by the Fire
Bug. We have not seen the notes our
self but our information in regard to
their receipt is so reliable that We pub
lish the fact, that measures may be
taken to catch the incendiary, if there
be one, and bring him to punishment.
