Fire Inst Night.

The residence Of Mr.. John j. Slo
yer, No. $40 Mississippi avenue or
fernando road, this side of Georgia
street, was totally destroyed by FIRE
between nine and ten o'clock last
night. The house belonged to DR.. r.
L. Laski, and was occupied by him as
a residence from the time it was built
until the death of his former wife, a
year or two ago. Mr.. Slower and his
family, including several of his chill
dren, who were unwell, were quietly
sitting in one of the front rooms when
smoke began to force its way through
the partition from the rear of the
premises. The alarm was quickly
given, but before the people in the
vicinity could gather, the entire house
was mass of fame. The children in
their enfeebled condition were gotten
out in haste, but not momenb too
soon. The parlor furniture and the
clothing of the family were also gotten
out, but the piano, carpets, etc., in the
front room and all of the contents OF
the rear part Of the house were con-
verified into ashes. About two weeks
ago the kitchen of the same house was
fred, but the flames were quenched
after doing about $3.50 worth of dam
age. The fire was evidently the work
of an incendiary. The house and its
contents were worth about $500.
The insurance was laid, $4,000 on
the building, in Marx & Bensdorf's
agency, and the furniture $3.50 in
Murphy Il Murphy'S agency.

Nobody to blame.


The Tax Collector, who is the most
innocent man 10 the world, next after
the commercial tourist of course. has
been after Mr.. G. Hart, aged fifty
nine, TO pay poll tax. The old man
paid Magistrate quarter some time
ago to give him certificate of his age,
and yet the Dimble Assessor put him
on the list SO that one Of those hand
somely printed postals, with Mr.. ]. j.
Williams's name across the top men
toned as County Agent at the court
house, goes through the mail to Mr..
Hart, asking him to step up to Will
liams's Office and pay a poll before the
3lst Of January, or he will proceed
as the law directs, and the
law excerpts nothing. Mr.. Will
liams may feel annoyed, or hurt at
this public notice, and claim that he
is not to blame, but Mr.. Hart alEo
feels very much hurt at being thus
branded as public delinquent.
