FARGO, D. T., Jan. 21.-A fire broke out,
at 10 o'clock tonight. in the clothing store
of Mr.. Hirshfeld, on Front street. 1t low
cred the Republican Office and Mitchell's
saloon. No wind was blowing or the whole
town would have gone. There was great e1-
element, as there is no fire department, and
the only apparatus is one unused hook ana
ladder truck.
Sheriff Haggart took command, and citi-
zens volunteered by hundreds. The best of
order prevailed. Ropes were hitched to the
burning buildings and the fronts dragged
out. ALI the buildings burned were frame,
with brick blocks on either side. The latter
fact, together with the energy of the sheriff
and citizens, confined the fire, and it is be-
lieved to be entirely under control, but un-
easiness on account of falling embers is yet
felt.
The Aryus and other neighboring build
ings are covered with wet blankets. The
whole population is on the streets. Less
not ascertained. Some insurance.

THE PENNSYLVANIA PATRIOTS.
Harrisburg, Jan. Oh In the case of
Charles B. Salter, charged with attempted
bribery of members of the legislature, the
defense asked for postponement mainly on
the ground of the absence of several important
witnesses, and the brief time allowed for the
examination of the Indictment. After a
protracted discussion the court indicated
determination to postpone the trial until to-
morrow morning, when, if the witnesses are
not forthcoming, the bribery cases will be
continued until March. The court also
notified the counsel for the defense that
they would have to plead to the indictment
at once. After some discussion the attor-
ney for the accused agreed to plead as di-
rected in all cases, provided they were con-
tinued to March. An order was then drawn
up which all the counsel agreed to, and the
court adopted. 1t provides that all cases go
over to the adjourned court, beginning the
second Monday in March, and continuing
two weeks, and that there be no further
continuance for any cause.
