Co,orERArrvE STORES BURNED.


The co-operative stores here were de-
stroyed by fire to-day. The building was
full of goods. The loss is very extensive.
1t is reported that the care-taker and his
family perished In the flames.
THE PHOENIX PARK MYSTERY UNRAvELED.
Two important arrests were made here this
moring in conusction with the murder OF
Lord Cavendish and Under-Secretary
Burke. Up to this time no information has
been received concerning the names or ad-
dre1ses of the prisoners. A private invesligs-
ton touching their arrest is now being held
at the Castle.
The names Of The two men arrested this
morning, in connection with the Phoenix
Park murders, are Byrns, psvef, and
Hsnlop, leather currier. One of them
has been identified by persons who were in
Pbenix Park on the night OF the murders,
as one of the men seen on the car on which
the sssassins rode. The arrests were made
on the evidenoe Of informers.
Later.-The Detectives believe they have
at length unrageed the Pho1ix Park mys-
terry. The police admit that in consequence
of the free distribution OF placards offering
reward for private inform alton, and arrests
following the Fenian outrage, number of
informers have come forward. A number
of Ihese informers, when they found the po-
lice already knew much, were induced by
fear 10 tell more. The police, by putting to-
gether various items of Information, have got
what they believe direct chain oil informa-
zion. The evidence began to thicken at the
time of he assault upon Dennis Field. That
affair was so similar in its attending circum-
stances to the Pheaix Park crime, that it
was from the 6rst hoped that it would lead
to clue 10 the latter. JenkinsoD, who di-
rects the criminal ipyestig cation department,
Culrap. Queens counsel, and Mallon, super
intendent of detectives, were engaged far into
last night in private inquiry. HanloD, ar
rested 10 day, is twenty-eight years old and
small in stature The other prisoner,
whose name is Brady, not Byrne,
is thirty-fve, and tall, stout and
robust. They both reside near Thomas
street. They were confronted at Dublin
Castle to-day with several persons who at
the inquest over the remains If Lord Fred
erick Csyendish testified that they had seen
the Phoeoix Park assassins drive away.
Curran- however, did not deem their identi-
6catiop of Brady and Hanlon sufficient, but
fbs nrisousrs were detained in order that
others might have an opportunity to see
them. They will probably be publicly
ob,roed with the Ph9oix Park murders in
Ihe Police Court tomorrow, when about
air WITNESSES will be examined. 1t is thought
tn,ther arrests will be made in connection
with The murders. The trial of Thomas
H;goins. smother one OF the prisoners,
oh reed With being concerned in the murder
of Ibe Huddys, began to-day. Curran, the
nro.ecutor, declared it would be proved that
The accused fired the shot which killed one
OF the victims.

THE BILL HE Is TRYING To GET SOME ONE t,
FATHER


FATHER.
WAsHINGToN, December 14.-Chalmers, OF
Mississippi, is here, lobbying for bill pre-
pared by him, the purpose of which is 10 de-
stroy gambling in stocks, cotton and grain.
Chalmers is now pronounced reformer. He
has caught the moral infection that has given
the Republican party such a long lease of
power. However selfish and vulgar may be
his motive, ths bill he wants passed is
good ons. 1t makes both buyer and seller
pay tax graduated according TO the time
expressed in the option. The buyer and
seller, for instance, must pay two and a half
per cent. on ten days deal, and the rate is
decreased on long time transactions, with
view to make nothing profitable except the
actual handling OF products. 1t is not likely
that such bill would pass, even il it were
introduced, and the diff ficulty now seems 10
be TO get anybody to present any bill of
which Chalmers is the father.

WASHINGTON, December I4.-The friends
of the Lowell bankruptcy bill are still hope
ful of success They say that the Judiciary
Committee of The Senate will probably re-
port the bill recommitted to them yesterday
in day or two without material ch ange, and
that it will be passed by the Senate and pos
sibly by the House. However, the general
opinion is tonight, "a last night, that the bill
will be kept in the Judiciary Committee un-
I'll it is too late 10 act upon it in the Senate,
or that if it should be reported by the COM
miltee it will fail in the Senate. Members
OF the Judiciary Committee in the House re-
peat that the bill has no chance there. 1t
would be an agreeable surprise if the bank
ruptcy bill should become law before the
4th OF March.

Trade aud from the Commercial Club OF
