SUNDAY MORNING BLAZE.
Il il supposed to be the Work Of Inc en-
dinries-Arrest Of the Alleged
Guilty Parties.

About quarter to one o'clock Sunday
morning Officer Davis, of the Second
Precinct, discovered flames issuing from
the coffeehouse Of Mrs. Pollins, located
in the triangle building, at the corner
Of Delord and Delta streets. The alarm
Of fire was Immediately turned in. The
Fire Department was promptly on
hand and the flames extinguish-
ed. On investigation it was dis
covered that the fire had originated
under the staircase, and that
it had gained considerable headway
and destroying the interior OF the build
ing also few articles Of bar1oom fur
niture also some beds and bedding and
the stock In the adjoining apartment,
occupied by Mr.. Roberts as q store for
the improved Barbarin gas, damage to
the extent Of $500 From all appear
ances the fire seemed to be the work OF
an incendiary, as the staircase was most
systematically saturated with coal OIL :
that the bottles on the shelf had been
emptied of their contents and water
substituted that the pictures had
been taken from the walls. to-
gether with greater part of the
household effects and removed to
place of safety. Sergent Slabowshi
having been Informed of these facts,
went Immediately to work to arrest the
guilty parties, but was unsuccessful for
several hours after the contiagration.
when he arrested Mrs. Palms on her
return from the fair. In her possession
was found her insurance policy Tor $3.50
In the Germania company, which she
had the precaution to take with her, al
though she states that she left In the
premises some $500 which was destroyed
by the flames.
Two men, John May and John Grow
ley, who, it was learned, was loafinR
about the building before the fire, were
also arrested. The property is owned
by Mr.. Keefer and was damaged to the
extent Of $500.

With complimentary tickets for the
concert TO be given tomorrow evening
by the Club du Bouquet Musical. for
which we tender thanks came to us the
eloquent appeal from Mrs. Octave
Romey, which we publish elsewhere, in
behalf of the poor destitute and sick
orphans of ST Mary'5 Orphan Asylum
in the Third District. 1t appears that
the helpless little outcasts who depend
entirely ulson public charity are suffer
ing now from the cruel visitation of sick
ness added to the every day pangs Of
poverty. Forty III the poor friendless
BOYS, averaging from one to eight years
of age, are sick with the measles. The
noble Sisters OF Charity take care of
them with untiring devotion, but them
selves are poor among the destitute, and
very little can be done without money.
This the public is called upon to contri-
butte by purchasing tickets to the concert
OF Tuesday night. Remember that the
best amateur talent Of the city will be
displayed, and every dollar spent on the
occasion may save the life Of some
poor orphan.

Repath on the wrong Pat1.

Philip Repath, being warmed up with
an over amount Of benzine, got mad and
wanted to kill somebody. He did not
want to kill a man. for fear that the
attack might be reversed and then fre'd
become the victim but he knew that he
could get away with woman, and en-

on Enghein street. near Robertson, and
drawing his gun deliberately fired at
Mrs. Refs, the ball taking effect in her
neck, inficting painful though not
dangerous wound. Repath was arrested
and incarcerated in the Fifth Precinct
Station. but this did not even ruff1e his
temper for he seems positive that II he
can't shoot the men he can get even on
the women.

It is gratifying to notice the following,
which appears in the leading sporting
and amusement paper OF the United
States. Mr. Tayleure's management OF
the Varieties Theatre in this city was
the most successful in many years, a
fact which he proved with figures
Gan ill-advised effort has been made in
New Orleans to throw cold water upon
Mr. Clifton w. Tayleure's management
of the Varieties Theatre in that city
during the past season.. Every profes-
sionaI in the country has long since con-
ceded Mr.. Tayleure' s ability as man
ager, and it is too late to attempt unfa-
yorable discussion Of his universally re-
cognized capability in this respect"
II one or two of the city papers were
unfriendly to Mr.. Tayleure.an un-
friendliness growing sout OF the dead
that although Mr.. Tayleure's attitude
was not entirely wrong in the matter,
he was not responsible for the origin OF
the quarrel, but having assumed It,,
maintained 1t like a man, rather than
lay the blame where it properly be-
lOnged.
Apropos, the same paper says OF the
excellent lady who shared with Mr.. Tay-
leure in the management OF the Varie-
ties:
'sMrs. F. s. Chanfrau has returned
from the South. and is now at Long
Branch. She commences an engage
