FIRE THIS MORNING.
Three Houses On Fire-The Damage
Done.

This morning shortly after ! O'Clock
an alarm Of fire was sounded, and three
houses on v eat street were discovered
to i'e on fire. The fire is thought tt
have Originated in the kitchen in the
rear OF the brick building No. ll6 Wes,
street, owned by John s. Brady and oc
cupied by Mr.. Moore. The house mex,
door, No. ia, was rented by Dennis
Boyle, and house 20. liz by Mrs. Nc
Mahon. Mr.. Moore had been sick dur
ing the night, and his wife had started
a fire in order to make mustard plas.
ter for him. The supposition is that
the ire was caused by defective flue,
and the frame building adjoining being
an old one, was not long catching fire.
The fire department responded promptly
to the alarm, and the fire was soon ex-
tinguished, but not before the rear por-
ton Of two Of the buildings was con-
siderably damaged. The house occu-
pied by Mrs. Mcmahon was damaged
more by water than by fire. The
house rented by Mrs. Boyle was DANA
ged to q considerable extent, and it Is
said she lost a greater portion Of her
furniture. The two frame buildings
occupied by Mrs. Boyle and Mrs. Nc
Mahon, are owned by Mrs. Mary j..
Buck. and are insured in the Delaware
Fire Insurance Company. The brick
building owned by Mr.. Brady is not
insured. There was no insurance on
the furniture, &C., and the tenants are
the greatest sufferers.

sing Abusive Language,

But one case was tried at the police
court last evening, the prisoners name
was Peter Quinn, and the charge against
him was using abusive language toward
Howard p. Walton As Peter was
brought into the court room he said
81 am more of& dead man than live
one, as | have been confined in the
cells without having any breakfast,
dinner or supper" Howard 2. Walton
testified to defendent stopping at his
place of business yesterday morning
and asked tor glass of lemonade,
witness informed him that he was out
of the lemonade, when the prisoner
swore at him and went away. The
prisoner had not gone far before he
returned to the Office and he behaved
in a very disorderly manner; the pris.
oner was arrested by Sergeant Legg.
Peter said that he went into the Office
accidentally and asked for glass OF
lemonade, when one of the men was
spread out as big as Bunker Hill
Monument. Prisoner also stated that
he was doing nothing when arrested.
His Honor imposed fine of 81 and
costs in this case which was promptly
paid, after which Peter began to show
His Honor that the arrest was illegal,
and he thought that Mr.. Walton had
no right to have him arrested. He
tried hard to argue the case with the
Mayor, when at last Peter haing refus
ed to be quiet His Honor ordered him
to be locked UP.

II is said Queen Victoria is very anx.
ious to have her daughter, Princess
Beatrice, married. Her scheme to SO.
cure that end having been thwarted by
the refusal Of Parliament TO abolish the
law prohibiting man from marrying his
wife's sister--ths late Princess Alice's
husband being desirous of marrying
Beatrice-the Queen sent for Alexander
the new Prince Of Bulgaria with view
to match between him and her dapgh
ter. The prince visited England and
Balmoral, but the result has not yet
been made public. Poor Princess. She
has probably long ago found one who
would love and cherish her for her owl
sake. But the insurmountable barrier
of rank hedges her in from any but
titled suitors, and the scandalous treat
ment the Marquis Of Lorne received at
the hands Of his wife's relatives would
frighten away even the bold young no.
bility of England. Beatrice, like other
princes and princesses, will probably
be given to the highest bidder, If any
can be found, without regard to her feel
ings in the mattspr.

lie Wanted his Five Cents.

John S. Mcbride was arrested by De-
tective Legg at the depo: last Saturday
evening, for creating disturbance at
the depot. AT the hearing at the po,
lice station it appears that John was a
resident of Philadelphia, and on com.
ing over on the train from New Castle,
the conductor charged him 30 ceuts for
his fare. John thought 25 cents was
enough, but finally concluded to give
the conductor the 30 cents, when he
asked for draw back. The conductor
informed him that they did not give
any drawbacks. When the train ar
rived in this city, John hunted up the
Conductor, found him in the restaurant
and demanded the five cents. The
conductor refused to give it to him,
whereupon ]ohh became very disorder,
ly. Detective Legg, at this juncture,
appeared upon the scene, and endeav-
ored to get John on the train, but alas
ne would not go, but said to the officer.

Special Correspondence OF the Repub lean
PHILADELPHIA, July II
Since the decease of Chief of Police
Jones, the question has b-en frequent
ly asked, VINO will lie his succ"ssor !
In answer thereto it may bs stated
that Mayor Stok-ly has very proba
bly, not yet chosen to seriously consider
thu matter. He is evidently desirous
of showing all due respect to the MEM
ory of the departed Chief, as hs said in
answer to the above question right af-
ter that officers death. Il haven't
thought about it at all. Let him b.
buried first" Several names have
been mentioned in connection with the
position, but it NAV be some time yet
before the public curiosity will BE- graf
flied. After the funeral On Thursday
afternoon collation. was served up for
the visiting officers. A number Of these
we're anxious to leave the city by the
early evening trains, but their travel
ling property had by an unforeseen &C
cident been locked up and the key mis-
laid, and thus they were compelled to
stay and partake of the hospitalitirs
that had been provided for them.
The fact of Senator Bayard's ignoring
the American Line in his trip to Europe,
does not add to his popularity in this
city, nor will it elsewhere where people
believe in patronizing home industry.
Mr.. Bayard no doubt had his reasons
for preferring foreign bottom, but he
may rest assured, should he become a
Presidential candidate, that the matter
will b. brought home to him, trivial as
he may deem it, and that towering
mountain can be made out of such an
apparently insignificant molehill. 1t
should be borne in mind that the Amer
lean Steamship Line is not merely a
local enterprise, but that it is national
in its character, as pushed forward by
American energy and backed by Amer
icaI capital, and as such is deserving
of the countenance OF the prominent
men of the nation, and most of all Of
American Congressman.
The. Y. M. G. A. case, in reference
to taxing their building at Fifteenth
and Chestnut was decided this morning
by Judge Allison. He holds that so
much of the building as is used by the
Society for charitable purposes-in
other words, for the furthsrancs OF its
works exempt from taxation but
that portion where rentals are derived
is liable to taxation, the same as other
property devoted to commercial uses.

rumols that the department officers are
about TO make reprlsals by reorganizine

ruuIor that persons OF Democratic ten

for an indefinite period. When the

Yesterday morning at an early hour
q thief entered the residence Of Mr..
Lawrence J. Rigney on the Lam

by means of breaking through the eel.

tered Mr.. Rigney's room Mr.. RS. pants
was laving on a chair near the bed
which the robber at oncs took charge
Of. In the pants we're $5.75 in money,
and sixty Shields Library excursion
tickets for Cape May. The party no
doubt did not realize the value of the
tickets as they we're all scattered over
the floor but the money Of course was
taken.
The thief next entered q room occu-
pied by young lady and grabbing her
by the arm she began to scream, when
the robber placed his hand over her
mouth. Her screams awakened Mr..

his room as the thief had taken the

make his escape, taking with him, be-

pen and holder, also a present, and
several other articles, amounting in all
