Destracftye I1cendIaTJ Fire.

CLEVELAND, O., April 9.-The Powell
Tool Company'S works were partly de
stroyed by fire, supposed to be the work OF
an incendiary. The flames broke out in the
forge, frame building about 300x50 feet
This part OF the works, which contained
probably not less than so, 900 dollars worth
Of expensive machinery, beside a large
quantity of stock, was burned to the ground.
The remainder Of the works, including the
office, was saved.
At0 o'clock the watchman went through
the forge and found all rs usual. Twenty
minutes later he suddenly saw the flames,
which seemed to break out all over the in
terror at once. As the structure was not
easily fired and contained but little in
tlammable matter, it is supposed petroleum
had been freely scattered about by
incendiaries, and suspicion points
to the workmen, who struck
some time ago, and have since
been very troublesome, going so far as to
assault the men employed in their places,
rendering it necessary for police escort
between the works and their homes. Yes
terday one OF the strikers was bound over
to the Common Pleas Court for u desper-
ate assault on one Of the workmen. The
loss by fire cannot be ascertained until IN
examination shows hows much machinery
and stock are damaged The loss on the
building is not very great.

NEW YoRE, April 0.-Great crowds oI
people gathered at Pier No. l, North river,
Today, to witness the landing Of Jumbo
from the steamship Assyrian Monarch.
This is the largest elephant in captivity.
As soon as he touched American soil he
was treated to quart OF whisky, which he
swallowed with all the satisfaction becom-
ing any topper.
Jumbo conducted himself most approv-
ingly on the voyage. He was indispost d
the frst day out and refused 10 eat, but after
that he used up regularly his allotment I
hay and other feed.
At II o'clock eight powerful horses
were yoked to the heavy platform car
upon which the cage containing Jumbo
had been placed, and in due
time the much talked o. elephant
vas safely lodged in Madison Square Gar
den. Although rain was falling briskly,
many people accompanied Jumbo from
the pier to the garden.

ST. LOUIS, April 9.-The Republicans JET.

den teftfor Washington to-day, to attend to
some business connected with the land
business OF the State.
The recent trial OF Robert T. Lindsay
and others for fraudulent land entries and
torgeries connected Herewith, have devel.
oped the fact that these frauds have tainted
some 100000 or G,OOO,0OO acres Of
land in southeast Missouri. The
United States Government is about to
commence proceedings for possession OF
these lands. A large amount OF lands
passed into the hands OF innocent parties,
who have spent much time and money in
improving them, and to now dispossess
them would work great hardship. The
Governors purpose is to consult with Sena.
tors and Representatives in behalf OF these
interests, and see il Congress will not le.
galize the possession and ownership Of
these lands SO far as they are held by inno-
cent persons

that Judge TAFT may gil Mr.. Lowell's place,
