Two Places.
Fears of Further Attempts at

Threats by the Communists.

AANCtAtS tAAc
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-St. Bridget's
Church, opposite Tompkin's Square, was
fired in two places yesterday. The pastor,
Rev. Father Mooney, does not believe the
ineendnries were enemies of the church,
but that their misguided aim was to secure
employment, knowing that the large con-
gregatiOn would be tolerably sure to rebuild
at once.
Police Commissioner Gardner said he
knew Of no incendiary attempt by Com
munists except at the Church of st. Bridget.
Superintendent Matsell did not disguise
his belief that the fire was the work of the
Commune, and further attempts of the
kind are TO be apprehended. He thought
there could be no doubt the Commune was
thoroughly organized in this city. Threats
against churches, schoOl-houSes, and es-
pecially Roman Catholic institutions, lad
been frequently made since the Temp
kin's Square meeting. He said ON
the day of the riot many of the
SO-called wOrkingmen who passed
st. JoSeph's Hospital looked up and shook
their fists at the building, at the same time
uttering threats. One of the rioters who
had his head cut byla Policeman's club, was
tenderly cared for in the hospital, vet went
away cursing his attendants. When ques-
toned in regard to precautions of the
police, he said it was scarcely necessary to
state that especial watch had been kept of
late over churches and schOOl-houses and
that similar vigilance would be maintained
in future. 1t is understood particular pains
have been taken to guard every church in
the 18th precinct.

Centennial Carpenters.
Two citizens of Philadelphia accompan-
led by Senator Cameron and Representa-
tives Myers and O'Neill, called on the Pres
ident this morning and presented memo
rial adopted by the Carpenters Company of
Philadelphia, in relation to the Centennial
Celebration. The memorial represents
that the near approach of the Tooth ami
versary of the Nations birth renders it be-
fitting that the survivors of those who
freely offered Carpenters Hall to the Con-
tinental Congress whenever the time-hOn-
ored State House was closed against them,
should commemorate the Nations advent at
that place. Therefore Congress is invited
to assemble in Carpenters Hall on the 9TH
day Of the 9th month of 1874, the one
hundreth anniversary of the meeting ofthe
first American Congress, and order such
ceremonies as they in their wisdom shall
deem best. The President and Cabinet
have been also invited. The memorial
was presented to Congress to-day and re-
ferred to the Centennial Committee.
Southern Claims.
A petition signed by 30 to 40 Senators

justed. The purpose is to give Congress an
opportunity of acting ON the claims during
the present session.
Trouble with the KiOWas.
A letter from Cheyenne Camp Indian
Territory, dated 10Th inst, mentions that a
son of Lone Wolf was recently killed while
raiding in Texas. This news occasioned
much excitement among the KiOwas.
Lone Wolf showed his grief by cutting
himself frightfully with knife, killed his
horses and burned his wagon and lodge
with all his effects. Some of the Kiowas
! talk of going to Texas to ayenge the death
of Lone VOLTS son, when grass comes.
Reports have been received of their having
killed white man between Camp Supply
and Cheyenne Agency, burning his body to
prevent detection.

POSTAL CARDS AND STATIONERY

The Paper NlI JCrTadl says in regard
to lie effect had upon the consumption uf
plper by the introduction Of postal cards:
- large number have been used in cases
where but for their existence no communf-
cation at all would have been made, and so
they cannot be said 10 have wholly been
used rs a substitute for wiring paper.
Where their competition las been NEST felt
has been in their extensive Sc for circulars,
for Which they are specially fitted. ~ Is
safe 10 estimate lGJNV postal cards rs
equiyaient to the same number Of half
sheets Of ncte paper Of medium weight; or
say three tons and One-eigh,h. This would
make the total product TO date as equal 10
about 200 tons III round numbers, allowing
for those which have nos replaced any other
writing materials. This would barely equal
the product or the five mills a liOlyOke Pr
five days, and it Ia Certainly not enough to
causa any alarm. For ourselves, we doubt
if through the competition of postal carts
the consumption Of fine paper has been
Iessened 100 tons, while we believe u has
indirectly slimGlated the consumption FIR
tle latter. In this connection We may state
that the consumption OF envelopes has npt
been affected b. the introduction OF postal
cards, LuT thai fhe four or five leading man
uf.sc;urers are behind their ORDERS

The Senatorial Contest.


TOPEKA. Jan. 2S.-The vote for United
States Senatorin Joint Assembly to-day was
quite as unsatisfactory and Insignificant as
the vote in the separate session yesterday.
4 majority Of votes were scattered among
over a dozen aspirants, with the evident
intention of preventing an election, and
also preventing sufficient concentration up
on any one man to give him advantage in
the race. The meeting tonight Is as I'M
certain as last night.
The unexpected vote for Lieutenant
Governor Slower to-day is said to fOreshad-
Ow a strong effort in his behalf tomorrow.
Gov. Osborne is understood to be practical
w out of the fight. The LeavenwOrth dele
CATION having united for ThoS. p. Fenton,
the Changers are trying to consolidate on
somebody, a majority of them apparently
fayOring Ex-Governor Robinson. The in
creased votes for Phillips and Plumb have
greatly encouraged the adherentS of those
gentlemen, and they are stTeBuously at work
tonight on combinations for tomorrow.
The contest is being conducted without
acrimony ard with very little excitement.
In the House today a bill was passed to
strike the word ''white" from all laws and
ordinances so as TO do away with all dis
elimination on account of color,

in the Supreme Court room this morning.
The deceased was arguing before the SUI

had spoken about five minutes, opposing a
lawyer who had said that Judge Ewell was
better on tax titles than he. Here he
made the remark thar it was amusing that
the opposite counsel should remark this,
and went on TO refer 20 the fact that the de
cision was not made by himself. He was
going on with his argument, and was lean
ing over the table, when he dropped down,
and in five MINUTES ceased to live. The
