A ROMANTIC story, designed tc
illustrate at once the delicate sense
of honor of Arab Pasha and his
hatred of the English, is published in
Vienna newspaper. The storY Is
that last spring an English officer al
Cairo insulted lady, shd, having
refused to apologize, likewise refused
to fight duel to which be was
challenged by q Hungarian noble
man, Baron Atezel. Not long after
ward, at a social entertainment,
A'abi app cached the Baron and thus
expressed himself: Although the
Koran strictly forbids duels. yet if
bad discovered that one of my officers
had conducted himself in such des-
picable and cowardly manner I would
have commanded him to fight; and
il be had then refused / would have
shot him with my own hand" The
story ends with the assertion that
Arabi's words we're soon in every
hody's mouth, and that during the
frat part Of April no Englishman
could appear on the street without
hearing himself called a coward.

A Ball of Fire in a Bedroom.

Miss Susie Jones, aged IS years, daughter
of Mr.. Lewis Jones, No. ll6 South Paca
street, made q narrow and extraordinary
escape from death by lightning during the
storm of Wednesday night. About half
past ten o'clock, while she was lying in bed
in the third-story front room, the lightning
came through the open windows of the
third.story back room into Miss Jones
apartment, set fire to her clothing and illu-
minated the whole of the upper portion of
the house. Miss Jones says when she saw
the lightning it appeared to be like ball
of white fire as big as the moon. She says
it was blazing and frightful, but she was
not hurt by it, and had presence OF mind to
tear off her burning clothing and spring out
of bed and run down stairs for help. Her
brother who sleeps IN the adjoining room,
went to her assistance as soon as possible,
and awakened the rest of the family. Miss
Susie was found in the sitting-room, The
clothing she wore was burned entirely,
only few fragments remaining, but with
the exception of scorched and swollen
hand, with which she had extinguished the
flames, she was unhurt.

WASHINGTON, October THE treasury
department has decided to act in accordance
with the decision of the circuit court at San

Indian Agent Tiffany.
IN A BAD FIX.


SAN FRANCISCO, October IA dispatch
from Tucson, Arizona, says: The Star
publishes q report of the grand jury charg-
ing that the Cibca prisoners now i'll Jail
here are innocent of any crime and that the
guilty Indians were long ago permitted to
escape through continuance ofIndian Agent
Tiffany. That officer, it appears from
the evidence given before the grand
jury, not only arranged to have
the guilty Indians.get away, but purposely
arrested the innocent Indians and had them
in confinement for months, to cover the
fight of the murderers. That it was no
mistake, but conspiracy on the part OF the
agent, is shown by the evidence OF the IN
dams to-day, to whom Tiffany revealed his
plan, and told them that this was the only
way to save the others from being hung or
shot. The Indians also testified to regu-
lar system of barter in Indian goods by
Tiffany with, the merchants of Globe,
MaXey and other points.
