NEW JERSEY.
Hotels Burned Down.

Cape May, Nov. 9.-The worst fire
that ever visited this city was discov-
cred this morning about seven o'clock,
in the attic of the Ocean house, on
Perry street, below Washington street,
the main thoroughfare Of Cape May.
The flre was evidently the work of an
incendiary, as there had been no fire in
the Ocean house since the close of the
season. The fire department of the
city, consisting of a truck, one hand
engine, anda number of chemical en-
gines. responded promptly, but it was
soon found they could do but little to-
ward subduing the fiaines. The old
wing of the Ocean house was not in
jured when the fire shot across Perry
street to the west and attacked. Con-
gress hall, in what was called whisky
row. The wind was then from the
northwest and blowing thirty-six miles
an hour. The flames spread to the
new wing Of Congress hall, fronting on
Perry street, and at. about the same
time 1t communicated to the back part
of the Merchants house, on Jackson
street. Soon after the main wing of
Congress hall, on Washington street.
caught. The fire then extended to the
Centre house, at Perry, Washington
and jackson streets, whence the flames
communicated to the old wing of the
Ocean house, on Perry street.
The flames then spread to the sur
rounding cottages and played sad havoc
with them.
The entire district burned covers an
area of about forty acres, and is
bounded by Congress street on the
west, Washington on the north, Ocean
on the east and Beach on the south.
The total loss is estimated at about
S400, 900, of which more than one-half
is covered by insurance.

MIR. DAKIN, of Marshaltown, Iowa,
who was yesterday sentenced to impris-
onment for life upon being found guilty
of murder, no doubt is happy at the ac-
tion Of his former employe in eonfessing
to the murder. Mr.. Dakin may be
forced to remain in allegiance for time
until the trial of the italian is ended.
His fate depends upon the verdict of
the jury. This is going on the suppo-
sition that the states attorney will
have trial In order to test the truth of
the Italians confession. Such prece-
dents are known,

Like the Oft quoted ghost of Shake

He has been interviewed, and this gave
him rare opportunity to make bid

presidency. Just observe with what
distinguished consideration he speaks
of himself. Said he: f4Et

South Carolina Bulldozing.
Washington, Nov. 9.-An envoy has
already arrived here with documents
and proofs to be used in contesting the
seat of the democrat declared elected in
the district in South Carolina now rep
resented by Rainey. This emissary says
that in Rainey's and Snall's districts
most audacious frauds were perpetrated
to overcome registered republican
majority of thousands. He brings with
him one of the tickets used in stuffing
ballot boxes. They are made of the
thinnest kind of tissue paper and have
the democratic names from Hampton
down. Enough republican votes were
taken out to offset these fraudulent
tickets. which were used by the whole
sale.

congress will be confronted again with
the question, and it is quite probable
that if the house of representatives
does not take steps at least to limit the
influx of Chinese into California, the
vote of the state will be hopelessly lost
to the democratic party. The position
in which both both parties find them
selves is perplexing.
1t may be added that the Stars re-
marks concerning the democratic house
are also applicable, though with some
what less force, to the republican SEN
