Fire on India Street.

The alarm of fire sounded from box 16 at
2.15 O'Clock this morning was caused by the
discovery Of dense smoke in an upper room of
the four story wooden building on the corner
of India and Middle streets, formerly known as
the Halifax House. The fire apparently
caught in the room in the westerly corner
in the fourth story and was there confined,
the principal damage to the building
being from water. The first story was
occupied by James L. O'Connoll, bakery;
O'Connell & Bradbury, groceries, and j. B.
Totten, apothecary. O'Connells stock was
badly damaged by water; the stocks of the
others were not injured. O'Connell had an
insurance of $1,000. The stories above were
occupied by Irish and German tenants The
rooms adjoining and beneath where the fire
caught were saturated with water, but the
others were not damaged The building was
owned by the Rollinsford Savings Bank of
Rollinsford, N. H., and was probably insured.
The loss is not large

clerk number of years. 1 am acquainted
with Andrew r. G.. Smith, who resides some
seven or eight miles from the school house,
and ten miles from Bowler's. Bowler was ac-
quainted with Mr. Smith; Mr.. Smith was the
Republican candidate for Senator from Lin
coin county. I was requested by Senator
Smith to take notice that the returns were
properly made up. Bowler claimed to be
Republican, but he would not let me see him
vote; saw him while he was making up the
Senatorial return. When he made the G in
Senator Smiths name he made it all above
the line and stopped and made the Smith. I
told him they would call it c. he said he
would fix it by-and-by; 1 told him to fix it
then, and he did by carrying the mark below
the line, which made it look like G. and it

Letter from Washington


Our Radical friends have destroyed
one argument" that has heretolore
had some effect against Gen. Ham
cock. They have appealed to busi-
ness men against . change, on the
ground that tho currency and the
tariff would be meddled with under
a Democratic administration. But -

sentatives in Vermont, Ohio and In
diana give them control OF the House
no such interference with tarif or
currency win be possible, il hundreds
of Hancocks were elected President
OF course, even If the House, Senate
and President were Democratic, no
violent changes would be made either
in the currency or the tarih, and any
charges that might be made would
be beneficial But it Is gratifying In
one sense to know the sargument
has lost all the force it had. BUSH
ness men who are satisfied with the
present condition Of the laws can
rest easy and can vote Tor Hancock

cal orators have foretold.

London, April 13.-Seven hundred
men, boys, women, girls, priests and
foreigners sacrificed ut Mandalay for
the restoration Of the kings health,
were buried alive. not burned, under
the towers OF the city.
Theebaw's son and heir, only few
months old, and brother Of the late
king, have both died Of smallpox.
Astrologeis advise Theebaw to re-
move the capital to Mount Shobo, the
original seat of the present dynasty.
The following is an explanation OF
the horror When city is built in
Burmah human sacrifices are offered.
A new monarch usually has new cap.

has been no change Of capital, and the
virtue Of old sacrifices being gone. to
appease the evil spirits the astrologers

Crary to-day filed in court here his de-
cision in the cases Of the A. and p. and
Western Union telegraph company VS..
the Union Pacific and American Union
company In favor Of the former. He
decides that all the lines recently seized
at the instance Of Mr.. Gould must lie
restored; that the only recourse Of the
railroad company to establish its claim
is court, and sets forth that the IL
800 shares Of stock received by 1t from
the A. and p. company when the con.
tract was made, must be returned be-
fore proceedings are begun, as these
shares were Of small valae when taken
by the railroad company, and are very
valuable now. 1t is considered great
victory for the telegraph company.
Long litigation Is promised.

Chicago. April 12.-charles s. Par
nell telegraphs to the Ears from Cork
as follows: / am exceedingly well
pleased with the result Of the election.
Our party has gained nine seats from
the whige and tories, while marked
Improvement has been effected In its
personnel. The timid and insincere
have been replaced by determined and
Jealous workers. We have carried Lem
ster, Munster and Connaught, except
one county.
1t Is incorrect TO suppose the liberals
are rendered independent Of the Irish
members- Their majority disappears
should we join the conservatives. More
over, our party win scarcely cross to
the ministerial side Of the house, even
though that side shall be occupied by
liberals instead of conservatives. Our
presence in opposition viii be under
stood as constant reminder of the
slender nature of the tenure by which
ministers hold their power.
We expect that good land bill will
be introduced and probably passed
Immediately. We also anticipate the
early passage of local government
measure. as well as household fran.
chise bill. This would enable US 10 carry
every Irish seat In parliament, with
very few Insignificant exceptions.
Should the liberals refuse to accede
10 our just demands, they can be very
promptly reduced 10 order by n deter
mined stand on the part OF our men,
bers. The present Irish party Is In im-
mense advance In every respect upon
the previous representations, and suffi-
cient men have been returned OF the
class that know what they want and
are determined TO have 1t, TO render II
practically impossible that the most
powerfully ministry can withstand
them.
As showing the resolution Of the peo-
pie TO abolish landlordism, the election
of James O'Kelly, who defeated the
O'Connor Don, in Roscommon, after
sitting there twenty years, is consid-
cred the most remarkable demonstra-
tion Of election.
