METHOD IN HIS MADNESS.

An Intoxicated Crank Raids a House on
the East Side-FurnitHre Greedily Cob
bled Up.
An instance Of peculiar mental alteration
was brought to light in the police court yes
terday. 1t seems that about s o'clock Wednes-
day evening, man drove up to the resi-
dence of Mr.. j. F. Moore, corner Of Summer
and Harrison streets, E. D., and coolly pro-
ceeded to load Mr.. Moore's household goods,
clothing, etc., on his wagon, with the evident
intention of removing them to some safe ~
place. Mrs. Moore, who was alone in the
house at the time, being unable to obtain any
satisfactory replies from the man-who, by
the way, was laboring under full cargo Of
East Side bug juice-or make any effect
i've resistance, ran out and summoned neigh
Dor, Mr.. F. G. Wagner, who first elected the
intruder, and later, learning that household
goods to the value OF $18 were missing, followed
and caused his arrest. The prisoner, who
gave his name as Paul Groska. stated in court
yesterday morning. that he had brought to
market and sold load of wood Wednesday,
and remembered nothing later than the sale,
did not know what he did with the money re-
ceived, or where he went after he received it.
Judge Cooley decided that the story was
rather gauzy, and fined the absent minded
gent $50, In default of which he will pound
stones at the citadel for the next sixty days.

honors for the president at the White house IL
Mrs. John Davis, the daughter of ex-senator
Frelinghuysen. Mrs. Davis will be accorded
that position by virtue of her husbands OIL
cial position as. private secretary to the presi-
dent. 1t is understood that the president has
decided to appoint Mr.. Davis to this pl,ce.
Mr. Davis is nephew of Bancroft Davis, who
is likely to be first assistant secretary of state,
while it is understood that Mrs Davis

KANSAS CITx, March 10.-The greatest
fire known in Kansas City for many years
occurred this morning on Union avenue,
between Mulberry and Santa Fee streets.
by which was destoyed that part of the
magnificent new Block building occupied
by Woodward, Faxon & Co., wholesale
druggists; Kelly, Willis & Co., wholesale
hardware; @. Oglebsy & Sons, wholesale
grocers. The flames were first seen to
burst from the rear window of Faxon Il
Co.'S By the time the firemen arrived, at
4 o'clock, the roofs and windows
glared terrifcally with the leaping
flames. A series of explosions,
numbering not less than 75, took
place, caused by cans of gunpower
in the establishment of Oglebay & Sons.
and some barrels of coal oil in the drug
house of Woodward, Faxon & Co. These
explosions were loud enough to be heard
by hundreds of people throughout the
city and by families two miles from the
scene of the confagration. The water
pressure, which should have been ninety
pounds to the square inch, was scarcely
sufficient to carry stream to the second
story windows Woodward, Faxon &
