FIRE IN A LUMBER YARD.
Narrow Escape From a Destructive
Con fagratiOG.

OhAsss8 1tAOus
Between 1890 and one O'Clock last
night fire was discovered in the lum
ber yard of B. Lundy Kent at Front
and Jefferson streets. An alarm was
sounded on box "a, Front and Justi-
son streets, and the quick response
OF the Fame and Weccacoe COM
panies was Instrumental in prevent
ing serious confagratlon. The fire
was burning iercely and was begin.
ming to spread rapidly, when a plug
stream from the Fame and a dels
uge of water from the Wecca-
coe engine suppressed the flames and
finally extinguished them without
the aid of tthe other engines, which
however were on hand promptly.
The fire started in a small lumber
shed near the middle of the yard and
in the absence of the slightest theory
OF accidental origin is attributed to an
lncendiary. The spot was evidently
selected with care as a starting point
for the fire, and the select was
about the best the yard afforded for
making fire that would sweep the
entire premises. The absence of any
wind was in the favor of the fremen
In their efforts to prevent an exten-
rive confagration.
The loss in burned and charred
lumber will amount to between 5000
and $500, fully covered by insurance.
This is light, considering the yard
contained several hundred thousand
feet OF lumber at the time.

POLITICS IN THE CASE,
The Point Which ScOvlIIe VIII Il,
deavOr 10 Est abIish.

WAsHINeToN, Oct. 21.-Considera-
BILE comment was caused here this morn.
ing by reported interview with Mr..
Scoville, Guiteau's counsel, saying that
on the trial he should bring out the
Stalwsrt schlsm from the Garfield Ad-
minislration as responsible for the
prisoners crime. To night Mr.. Scoville
says: 'Tn regard to reported inter-
view with me on the political bearing of
Guiteau's case, wish to say once for
all that have no information or belief
that any stalwart politician or any
other person than Gulteau himself had
an intimation before the shooting that
he contemplated the act. My position
is simply that the fierce contest waged
by the Stalwarts against Garfeld's Ad-
ministratlon, with no such design of the
actors, resulted in working up a diseased
mind to the position of the act. The
crime of murder is not, therefore, to be
charged against the politicians. Theirs
is only the crime against the peace and
welfare of society, which is made mani
fest in a ceaseless and bitter political
fight against President elected by the
people in the discharge of bis public du-
ties aud seeking to maintain his high
rerogatives."

SECOND EDITION
An Ancient OhiOan Staggering I'm
der sack ful of Gold.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-An old
gentleman frem the interior of Ohio
arrived here few days ago with $17,-
900 in United States six per cent.
bonds which he purchased in 1861 and
which were called in July last. He
first visited the loan division, where
he said he came to obtain gold for his
bonds as he had paid gold for them.-
When told that a draft of the United
States Treasury was good as gold he
insisted upon the gold, and would not
listen to any explanation regarding an
equivalent in another form. To-day,
litt before noon, he appeared with
large leather valise in which he car"
ried ff the full amount of his claim
in $40 gold pieces weighing in all
about seyenty-five pounds. He bes
came very much provoked with Treas
urer Gilfllan when that officer en-
deavored to persuade him to accept
drafts and have them cashed when he
reached home, reiteratlng that he
came here for gold and declining 10
take anything else. He staggered un.
der his heavy load as far as Assistant
Treasurer Wyman's room, where he
expr essed wish 10 count his treasure
before leaving town. A room was
assigned TO him for that purpose. AZ
ter the entire amount had been care
fully counted and found to be correct,
the old gentleman was persuaded to
express the coin to his home. Dur
ing the time he was engaged in count
ing the money a city detective, who
had been summoned, kept watch over
the bag.
A number of United States bonds
to $500, and several United
States notes aggregating in value |
about $3.50, were received at the Treas
ury Department this morning, accom-
panied by an unsigned note requesting
that the whole be placed to the credit |
of the Conscience Fund. The sender,
evidently intent upon defacing the
bonds SO effectually that they could
never be used, cut them into strips.
The bonds therefore cannot be ider-
titled, hence the object for which the
owner Intended them is Defeated
None of the numbers Of the bonds were
found upon them, having all been cut
off. The package will be retained at
the department until the other bonds |
and notes are received, or until the |
owner calls for its present. The pack
age come from Cincinnati.

Chinarnan In Trouble.

This morning Hop Lee, the Chinese
laundryman on Fifth street, between
Market and King, was arraigued be-
fore Acting Mayor O'Neill on the
charge of allowing an offensive female
dog to run at large upon the streets.
Complaint had been made in regard
the canine, and yesterday Hunt, the
dog catcher, went down after it, but
the Chinaman, not understanding
English, refused to let him have it.
Hunt then had warrant issued for
his arrest. During the hearing Hop
Lee sat in the dock witt perfect look
OF innocence upon his face, seemingly
not understanding the proceedings
going on about him. Under the ordi-
nance he was required to pay $40 and
costs. He was locked up 1ntil the fine
was paid.

DOWN THE SOUTH BANK.
what the Executive Officers Found
In their second Tramp Along che
Brandywfne.

In their second Tramp Along th,
Brandywfne.
Yesterday, executive officers TN.
oerwood AMI Gaynor, of the Board oi
Health, made their second tour of in.
spection along the Brantywine thii
time taking the south bank of the
slream. They went up on the early
Train on the Wilmington & Northern
railroad to the State line, and worked
down to the city.
From the State line to Rockland
nothing was noticed in the water be-
yond an accumulation of vegetable
matter, possessing q decidedly sour
smell. Samples we're taken for in
spection OF the Board of Health.
Below Young's bridge the surface
OF the water was covered with vege
table growth resembling moss in
formation and appearance, a sample of
which was also secured.
AT the powder yards everything
was found in good condition, With NO
evidence of any refuse matter being
cast into the creek.
At the stone row at the entrance tn
the Hagley yard three privies were
found located on bank close to the
waters edge; also two wash houses.
the slops from which run into the
creek.
AT the mouth of Squirrel Run a
hlthy gutter was noticed which seemed
to be conduit for dye stuffs and other
refuse matter from the Henry Cfay
mill. The ground all along the course
OF this gutter was black with the
stuff. Here also was found a large
privy, evidently used by the employees
OF the mill, within fifty feet of the
race.
AT Breck's mill there is privy emp
tying directly into the creek.
Just below is small sewer which
drains the slops of the houses ON
Breck's lane into the creek. A yerv
hlthy gutter also empties into this
sewer.
Between Rising Sun bridge and
breck,s Lane are some privies close
enough to the creek to pollute the
water during heavy rains. A gutter
also runs from Toys hotel into the
creek.
Below the bridge is small branch
which runs from the rear of John Mil
ler's stable into the creek,
at Richard Jackson's store. Ram
crofts Banks, gutter runs directly
under his barn-yard into tho creek.
The officers made thorough ipspec-
tion OF Bancrofts mills, and found
that every precaution was taken to
prevent the flow of refuse dye stuffs
into the creek. Everything of this
character is carried over into the north
race by means of q large pipe, except~
ing the bleaching water, which, being
harmless, is allowed to run into the
creek.
A similar state of affairs was found
at Riddles mill, with the execution
that not even the bleaching water ia
allowed to run into the creek, eyery-
thing being carried across into the
north race.
The little branch that runs down
from Hartmann q Fehrenbach's brew
cry, was found to be full of white,
irothy water, VIII ch impaired strong,
beerlsh smell.
hattlesnake Run appeared to be in
good, clean condition, and the officers
took sample of the water for anaIy-
sis.
The race sluices were next examined
and found to be in good condition, ex-
cepting the first, second and third
above the bridge, which leaked slight
ly.
The Executive Officers will make
full report of their investigation to the
Board OF Health at the regular meet-
ing next Tuesday evening.
