Danger from, El- Ct. ,o ..snl Wires.

The Firend7as Journal says t'The com -missioners of the New York fire department apprehend much danger from the electric light wires which are stretching over so much of the city. few nights ago the woodwork over the entrance of one of the theaters was fired by contact with the naked wire, permit ted by break in the insulator. Lead over the wood was melted by the electric current. The lights whose wire did this damage be long to the theater and are not connected with the public lighting of the streets. The other day three fire alarm circuits were made useless. the magnets being destroyed and the relay magnets burned out in the telegraph of fee of the fire department headquarters by contact with the wires of an electric light com pany. The fire commissioners have passed a resolution, which, after reviewing these facts, orders the departments counsel to confer with the corporation counsel relative to taking legal measures to force the com pany to pay for the damage done and pre- vent similar accidents from happening in fu- ture. If the insulation is thus imperfect while new constant repetition of such acci- dents when it becomes old and worn out is, the fire officials say, to be feared The cleo tric wires, however, chiefly trouble the de- pertinent when they have to be cut away from the tops of houses to permit the fremen to, work at fires. They have to be out with an instrument having wooden handle. If the handle is wet it becomes 8 conductor, and the fireman holding 1t stands in danger of re- ceiving fatal shock That no fatal accident Of the sort has happened as yet is due to the gaeat care which is exercised by the fremen, and which sooner or later, in an exciting emergency will not be exercised !"

The Chrtstiancy Divorce case-President
 Arthur's Message Kept From the
 Papers-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The Christiancy divorce hearing closed with @ short session before the examiner this afternoon, caused by the indisposition of Mrs Mary F. Lugen- beel. mother of Mrs. Christiancy, who had testified in behalf of her daughter and was being cross examined. The question of cor respondence between Mrs. Christiancy and others was taken up and the witness stated that she had read every letter that her daughter wrote to George E. Haight. She did not recollect how many had been written, but dozen. perhaps, more or less. The Giro letters were handed to her and she was asked in what way they were like and unlike the writing of her daughter, and she was unable to show. She was then asked if she could point out g letter, word or sentence in which the letters were unlike those written by Mrs Christianoy, and replied that she could not tell the difference, but knew that her daughter did not write them At this point she was attacked with sick headache, and the hearing terminated for the day. To- day closed the second week in which the counsel for the defendant were to have Miss Mary Chamberlaine here to sign her deposi- tion and Charles Goodman to coapleke his cross-examination. Neither hes appeared nor has any tidings been received as to their whereabouts, and considerable doubt is en- tertained of their coming back to perform what is expected of them.
 President Arthur's private secretary stated to-day that the Executiye's idea in having no copies of his message to Congress printed was to remove temptation from the press. Copies will be furnished to both the associated presses only Now that the President has this of his mind it is stated he will give at teRtion to preparing Cabinet slate.

Philadelphia's Scandal.


 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.-The preparation of the official presentment to be made sim ultaneously to the District attorney, the city solicitor and the city councils on Thursday next seems to engross the entire time of Tax Receiver John Hunter. He states, however, that every day is bringing out new facts. Saturday morning it was discovered that the appropriation and cash books of previous years have all been carried over to the office of the Collector of Delinquent Taxes. MT. Hunter consulted his legal adviser and means
 will be at once instituted to reclaim them. These books will supply the missing links in the evidence and furnish another explana- tion for the remarkable conduct of the members of Select council, who have re- peatedly refused to accept the unexceptiona ble bond of MT, Tenner, the duly appointed delinquent tax collector. Another clerk under the ring tax receiver has ''squealed'' and Is
 asserted to have largely increased the infor nation of MT. Hunter and his experts The name of the last penitent is John Davidson, His statement in general, so far as made public, confirm Theodore Hanel although
 Hanel says Davidson is ''pious fraud and hypocrite who, after he had made himself l rich. joined the church and prayed his con- science clear" Hanel also says that David
 son went to the prison to see him and got down on his knees on the cell floor to beg him (HaneD not to expose him Hanel cannot account for the sud den attack of repentance. John Davidson. on the other hand, says: 'Hanel is black mailer, and came to me repeatedly with that object" Such is the estimation ip which these two witnesses hold each other. But it
 must be said that Dayidson's testimony will prove of much greater legal weight than
 Hane1's because he has never been convicted of any crimes, and, although self confessedly crooked man. when in the tax office he is. now pillar in his church. Of course all sorts of rum OTIS are in circ nlation, but the fact is that the tax receiver and the comp troller have the books and the vouchers, and it Is impossible for anybody else to get at them just now

The Boston Pacific Bank.
 BOSTON, Nov. 27.-The bank examiner has completed his examination of the affairs of the Pacific National bank, of this city. His report will not be given out for several days, but it is authoritatively stated that the con dition of the bank is so unfavorable that the United States comptroller yesterday request ed the associated banks to nominate re- ceiver and wind up. it's affairs. A private dispatch from Comptroller Knox states that he will appoint receiver at once, and at his request number of prominent bank officers of this city have nominated gentleman who will probably be officially named at an early day.
 Starving Out & Pastor-A ShsDherd's Un-
 pleasant Relations With HIS Flock.
 BOSTON, Nov. 27 The Baptist church at North Attleboro was crowded to-day upon the announcement that the pastor, Rev. W. Fl. Kling, would preach his farewell sermon. He was engaged at salary of $500 and the use of the parsonage; but being unable to make hls revenue meet expenses, the society voted on August 18th that the pastor be paid any balance left after the expenses and inter- est on the debt had been cared for, which amounted practically to nothing. The debt statement has been falsiied to effect the starving out," but still the pastor labored for the church. Seeing that such 8 course had no effect, the society voted that owing to unpleasantness the engagement end in Jan uary This directly violated an agreement that three months notice should be given by either party. Last week, in calling attention to violations of church polity, one of the deacons suggested that the relations end to day, and Rev. Mir. Kling at once accepted. It is said that one objection was caused by the fact that he eked out living by report ing local matters for the Providence Journal. The church is divided over his withdrawal. and thirteen members have withdrawn and more will follow.
