Thrilling Fire Scenes Told by Witnesses.
 PROVIDENCE, Dec. 5.-At..the meeting of the jury of inquest on the Calendar street fire and fatalities this evening deposition was read from Mary McSorley, who has not yet recovered from the injuries received at the fire. She thought the time was very brief between the time the operatives in Robin sons were alarmed and the time when she jumped or slid out of the window. She re- members falling through the air very fast, but has no recollection of striking the ground. The deposition of Joseph B. Baker also read. He was badly burned and is still confined to his house and will not be able to be out for three weeks to come. He deposes that when the ladder was put up he lowered Emma Gassett down to it by the hands and also lowered his daughter in the same way, but both of them missed the ladder and fell to the ground. He came down on the ladder having his hands and face burned while so doing. Just before he lowered the two girls from the window this ladder, which was about four feet too short, had been raised up to the level of the window the lives of the dead girls might have been saved. The hero of the day, brave Christopher Tinman, then narrated to the jury the way in which he saved the two girls, Miss Cough and Miss Corcoran. He climbed the ladder until he reached the second rung and clinging to the telegraph wire with one hand he steadied the first girl down to the rung of the ladder. The second girl was swung out of the window to him, and while he held the first girl by the pressure of hand guided the other one to Q safe place on the ladder and brought them both in safety to the ground. The evidence of two other wit nesses was heard and the jury adjourned till Wednesday evening.

A Poor Soil for Anarchy

PARIS, Dec. 5.-The situation with regard to the progress of the arnachist conspiracy is somewhat favorable. The recent revival of business es pecay in the building trades enables the very class of workmen which has been the most turbulent to command constant employment and high wages and long this state of affairs continues with the man in the receipt of wages which permit them only to live in comfort, but also to afford luxures the anarchist agitation will lack material to work upon. The present rate of wages is very high so high that stone mason, house carpenter or eaz
 fer is really far better off than the majority of clerks in government offices or commercial employees who have to spend in dress and keeping up appearances the greater part of their earnings The hp scae of wages and the demand for labor is such that Italian German and Swiss woaknen have hocked to Paris in

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-No time has yet been set for a Democratic caucus in either house of Congress, but one will undoubtedly be called next week. Prominent Democrats think they see the Republican programme manifesting itself in disposition to retrench. This spirit of economy is carried out in rela- ton to the clerks of the committees, who are requested to make the smallest possible re. quisition for stationery. Disappointment is expressed on all sides on account of the dis inclination of the House to 'tpush things immediately and the prediction is made that the tariff will not be touched this session, but the efforts of the Republicans will be concentrated on the reduction of the internal revenue and attempts to secure civil service reform.
 Postmaster General Howe has given in- structions that in future no information be given out by the Postotfice department in re- gard to the weight of copies any newspapers may mail.

 MADRID, Dec s.-The activity of the Socialists and Internationaists respecting the discerd among the working classes causes muck ureasness to the gov ernment and the council of ministers has ordered local authorities to take severe measures to check these Intrigues The conspirators have taken advantage of the agricultural distress, the failure of the crops the high prices of feod of the laborers and operatives especially in Andalu sia and Catalonia, to fomest turbulent spirit among the lower classes Among the Socialist agents arrest ed at Lyons were two spaniards in whose possession wore found documents proving that the outonary secret society have various parts of Spain.

A Jury's Verdict.

The jury empannelled to inquire in!o the cause of death of Arthur Lord and Patrick Kane, the young men killed at Thompsonville on Sunday afternoon by the Langtry special train resumed the taking of evidence on Monday and about o'clock in the evening 8 verdict was rendered.
 The verdict finds that the railroad eompa- ny failed to notify the station agent of the coming of the train, that this is inexcusable, since the company knew the preceding day that the train would run, knowing too that the crossing at Thompsonville was dangerous and much travelled; that the station agent was not responsible, and that the train was run in violation of law and 'that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company were guilty of gross negligence in not taking such precautions on the day in question:
 The funeral of Arthur Lord took place yes terday and Patrick Kane will be inferred to day Suits against the railroad company, it is believed, are to be instituted at once.
