those of Mr.. FL. I. Petersen and Miss
Rankin, are only separated by a mar
row alley barely three feet across.
and hence it is not surprising that
one witness says the fire began in
the eastern property, while another
says it began in the western. The
unpleasant discovery that ar attempt
was made the same night to break in
to Mr.. Petersen's store does not throw
any positive light on the matter. The
two incidents may have been entire.
ly Independent, and the thief mayin
fact have been interrupted by the out
break of the fire. An inspection Of
Mr.. Petersen's we'll secured windows
and the marks of the burglars efforts
suggests, however, the theory that
having failed in his attempts to cut
the heavy hardwood frames and SO
remove the iron bars, the thief pro-
ceeded to examine the out houses.
which were not locked, and that in do
ing this he used lucifer matches, which
he carolossly threw on the straw lying
about. The bad habit of throwing
down half-burned l%ucifers without re-
gard to consequences is common
among the lower classes, and what we
have supposed is therefore a probable
explanation. 1t is at least less alarm
ing than the supposition that the fire
was set from malice or with the in
tention Of robbery, and it seems to us
that if the mischief had been inten-
tional it would have taken another
direction.
Whatever may have been the
cause of the fire there can be no
doubt as to the great danger in
which the town was placed, and the
witnesses of the fire do not fail to OK
press their admiration of the way in
which it was fought. Where so many
showed courage and determination
may be thought invidIous to mention
names but we may say that every
body has a word of praise for Capt.
Thompson of the schooner Vigilant,
who with a hand engine, and assisted
by several other persons, renderedin-
valuable service on the opposite roof
while fire literally rained down upon
1t. Mr.. VIM. PEBBLES and the Build
ing Inspector and Lieutenants Schj6tz
and Ostermann are also mentioned as
having given conspicuous help in Or
ganizing and directing working par
ties, and Policeman Jackson as hay
ing shewn great courage. Several
other t~ownspeople were conspicuous
among the workers, who on all sides
are praised for their unwearied exer-
tons. What is also particularly
worth noting is the great assistance
rendered by the iabourers from the
country, who alarmed by the ringing
of the church bells and the glare in
the clouds, came into the own in
great numbers, and we must add
with satisfaction, behaved admirably.
Fire engines arrived opportunely
from Annals Hope and La Princesse.
Carts from several neighbouring
estates were also sent in, and render
ed good service in conveying water

A FRAUD HEARD FROM.

The Omaha Bee, which has been
doing good service lately in driving
medical quacks out Of that city, Is
now engaged in the Iaudable work OF
exposing a DR.. Aldricb, who is said
to have his lecherous eyes upon an
Omaha LADY who is about to receive
a large sum of money. Aldrich has
been playing the good church mem
bel and II seems has ingratiated him
self into the affections of not a few
respectable people. The Bee shows
him TO be bigamist, and tells how
he deserted bis two wives, one in San
Francisco and the other in Oregon.
But VITA. is q little surprising is the
fact that Mrs. Dr.. Aldrich No.
L engages in the fight against
the doctor. salt Lake knows
something about both of these peo-
pie, they having resided here three
or four years ago rs DR.. and Mre.
Rhugo. The doctor is bad one, but
the woman is no better. Before she
came here she caused her death ID
be announced in the San Francisco
papers. Soon after arriving, her pre-
tended death notice, panied by
delicately worded request for its
publication, was received by the
HERALD. It did not appear because
we had knowledge OF her San Fran
cisco history. The lady" then
flooded the newspaper offices with
little rhymes, breathing love for DR..
Rhugo in particular and pretty things
In general. One of these poems"
was published in the HERALD as paid
matter, and many of them were used
to kindle fires. While the doctor was
being sweet on some Of the females
hereabouts, the Mrs. Doctor was toying
with the affections and purses -chiehy
the latter-of men. If memory can
be relied upon, one night, while &C.
cupying the room OF a somewhat fast
young gentleman, she was surprised
by an enrsged female--a notorious
Worssn OF the to8n-Who made il
both lively and warm for Mrs. Rhugo.
This affair caused the doctor to leave
town suddenly, while Mrs. R. went
into retirement for few months as
the mistress OF a certain bachelor.
Since then We have heard nothing o.
the unclean outfit, until the Omaha
Bee arrays DR.. Aldrich among its list
of frauds and quaoks.
Salt Lake has been particularly IN,
fortunate in the matter of visitation;
by quacks and medical humbugs,

The San Francisco Agitation.

San Francisco. 27.-The unem-
ployed workipgmen held another
meeting at the sand lots this after
noon, which was addressed By Ksl-
loeb, who told them that while their
grievances we're real, and their talk,
for the most part, sensible, yet the
continuation OF such gatherings only
afforded an opportunity for the utter
auce of iil-timed expressions, likely
to retard rather than advance the
objects in view; that judicioua com.
mittee should be appointed, with
whom be would freely confer and
report the progress, if any. made by
way OF relief. In the meantime the
meetings had better be dispensed with,
subject to the call of the committee.
This was satisfactory 10 the crowd,
and no more meetings will be held at
present.
The Bulletin this afternoon pub
fishes a card from the mayor of the
city which gives an account of the
present excitement, the ground of
Misrepresentation and misunder-
standing of the parties. and says that
when the Board of Health declared
Chinatown a nuisance the cry was
raised that there would be slaughter
and bloodshed. As matter of fact, the
Workingmen were satisfied with the
action OF the board of health, and
would wait to see it properly carried
out; but the cry of vigilance COM
mittee had been raised and the sand
lot anger had responded and the city
was thrown into needless agitation.
He held the Six Companies and tne
Chronicle mainly responsible. The
card closes by saying that neither his
own utterance nor Kearney's nor
the speakers a! the sand let are TO
be understood as the voice OF the
workingmen's party, which can only
be heard through the clubs, speaking
in union, and emphasized by tue
board of ward presidents.
The Post also publishes card from
the mayor in which he disclaims the
idea of the present agitation being Of
q socialistic or communicate character,
except perhaps in the csse Of a few
individuals, certainly not as regards
himself and the overwhelming
majority of the woTkingmen's party.
