narrow escapes. About % years

on the line of the Michigan Central
Railroad. A man named Carson,
who was running for some county
office, was given a bad racket, and
the editor received a cote that il he
had anything more to say he might
expect TO receive a good pounding.
He had still more bitter attack the
next week, and the paper was hard

the candidate, accompanied by a

Unprovoked and Dastardly Assault.

Last night, about 1890 o'clock, as a young
man named Douglas Tanner was walking by
the saloon known as Harry's Place, kept by a
man named Mitchell, on the east side of Wa.
bashaw street, between Third and Fourth
streets, man named Harry Peters, railroad
engineer, stepped out of the door, full of
booze, and addressing most opprobrious epi-
thets to young Tanner, commenced an assault
upon him. Tanner not being made of that
kind Of stuff to submit quietly to a beat
ing, defended himself so vigorously that
he soon had his old and more muscular, but
drunken assailant in the mud, while the blows
passed back and forth quite rapidly. The
fracas attracted tbs attention of quite a crowd,
and also of Officer Baer, who arrested both
parties and locked them up, but both were
subsequently released upon depositing bond
for their appearance at the municipal court
this morning.
While the fracas was in progress the saloon
man made an assault upon Harry Birmingham,
who was standing in front of Lyle's hair
dressing establishment, picking him u2 and
throwing him up the stairs. Before he could
continue the assault friend interferred and
Officer Baer coming up he retired from the
scene.
The whole affair was a most dispraceful
one, and so far as could be ascertained, en-
tirely unprovoked on the part of young Tan.
ner and Birmingham.

Which Had Sensational Features-Hasty
Adjournment of the Legislature.
About half past II yesterday forenoon
fire was discovered in the Chippewa
house, 6l Robert street. The fire broke
cut in a Two story addition used as a
kitchen with sleeping rooms for the help
over head, the flames starting in one of the
rooms near the chimney. The fire depart
ment were promptly at work, and the fire
was soon subdued, being confined to the
room in which it appeared, and the roof,
damaging the building $75 to 800. Two
of the help occupying the room
in which the fire appeared, each lost a
trunk of wearing apparel, one also losing
some S25 in money and the other $35.
The hotel is in the hands of the sheriff
under attachment, it belonging to Nelson
Bison, who about the time fire broke out
was beng escorted to the court room to
hear the decision of Judge Wilkin, in
the habeas corpus proceedings instituted
to secure lis release frem arrest upon the
requlsition of the governor of Michi-
gan upon the charge of being a
fugitive from justice. Judge Wilkin, as
will be seen from an article elsewhere,
denied the application.
Another incident of the fire occurred in
the Market house. when both houses of
the legislature were in session. Some
person brought word to the senate cham
ber that the Merchants hetel was on fire,
where many of the members make their
headquarters. The report of the finance
committee upon the bond bill
was under discussion. Senator D.
Buck, approaching President Gil
man, whispered the startling report
in his ear He at once announced 1t to
the senate. A member moved to adj
journ. Another member moved an
amendment to take recess to 2 o'clock.
The latter carried, and in less time than
| it takes to write it the senate chamber
was cleared, the members hardly getting
outside before the falsity of the report
was learned. Similar proceedings and
actions took place in the house. The fire
was small one, but it furnished the
sensation of the day

High Toned Yietr Of IL
Hastings New Era.l

The friends of Hubbard could not con-
sistently support Judge Clark because
his friends were bound to Gov. Pillsbury
by cord that could not be broken, in
fact, Clark's supporters were bitterly
fighting Gen. Hubbard, thinking thereby
to carry in both Clark and Pillsbury Tor
McGill on the same popular wave. But
the tide turned and the wave upon which
they expected to be borne to glorious VIC
tory bore them down to everlasting de-
struction and humiliating defeat. The
trade which accomplished Judge Van
derburgh's nomination dates further back
than the last convention; it dates back to
the time when Governor Pillsbury traded
Hennepin for Ramsey county and ap-
pointed Greenleaf Clark to the supreme
bench.
