ones. 1t was impossible to do this with
any great speed, but while the men were
working the banisters gave way, making

The cause of the alarm was a small fire
under the staircase on the third floor. The

Mr.. Rounds is alleged to have become

there is one thing Rounds docs know il is
whom to quit. When the last hymn had been
sung the congregation moved out at the sig

of the fated row. When all had passed out,
that seemed to desire to do So tho sexton
came along, and Mr.. Hatton told him what
was the trouble, and then all discussed the
situation. The President was of the opinion
that it was the work Of a second Gniteau, but
Mr.. Rounds said it was clearly the work of
an incondiary. Teller, who was fastened to
tho Same pew as Folger happened to be in,
was for saving off to SEQ who should break
the monotony, but Folger would not hear TO
it, and wanted the sexton to send for the sur
geon general to amputate tho whole party.
Hatton, who wear q short coat, said
he should stay there until night, and
send for his carriage. Finally the sex
ton took Mr.. Rounds by the collar, and took
hold of the hem of his garment with the
other hand, ana by strong pull released him,
with some of his pants and when once it was
found that pulling would relieve them, they
all got loose, but they were tired lot, and
all who did not have carriages went home by

glue on the pews TO their lairs, and it is
probable they will be arrested before the news
gets out. A person who would thus deile

citizens of the republic, is fit only for treason,
stratagems, and politics, but such people do
exist, and it is not strange that they should
visit Washington. 1t is believed the deed
was done by some disappointed Office seeker,

Could Wait for His Coffin.
Peck's Sun.


The Office of the bright little evening Jour
oal, of this city, is next door to an under
takers establishment, and there is usually a
coffin box or two on the sidewalk waiting to
be used. 1t is related that n man came to the
Journal Office to have fuss with the
editor over something that had been
said in tho paper, and he was pretty
mad when he accosted the genial
business manager, Mike Kraus. He spoke
of desiring blood and expressed desire to
gallop all over the manly frame of tho ed
itor, and offered to chew few reporters.
Mr.. Kraus stood in the door, and pointing
to the box on the sidew ak, he said,
How would that fit you. 1t may be
little short, but we have larger ones"
and calling the undertaken, who was on
the sidewalk, Kraus said, Measure

man with a hot box, who was being meas
ured for cold box, began to feel small.

is man in hurry to whip somebody, and l
don't know but you will have to let me
have that coffin that was made for the
south side man, who was going TO come in
this afternoon to whip us. He can wait"
Neiman looked at the man who wanted to
fight, and said to Mike, "No you must
make one for this man. The south side man
will be here at o'clock and / make it
point never to disappoint man. Say"
says Neiman, turning to the man who had
come for a fight Couldn't you get along
without fight till Saturday? We are a
little crowded now" and Neiman rested
his cane on tho coffin box. The man said,
come to think of it, he didn't want to fight,
anyway, but he did think that article in the
paper was confounded mean. "0f course"
says Neiman. "Of course" says Kraus, and
the mad man walked down street, the under
taker went into his store, and the editor and
manager winked at each other and went to
work as though nothing had happened.

To Stick or Not 10 Stick.


Probably the meanest trick that was ever
played on any body, in church, was played
at Washington few Sundays ago, The fact
that the matter has not leaked out before is
gauso the authorities have been trying to
G7il out the parties that perpetrated the
wicked joke. In ono of the Washington
churches there is one row of pews down one
side that are reserved for distinguished citi-
zcn5 1t was in one of those pews that the
editor of the Sun was ushered when he was
thcrGa yearagO The usher seems to know
distinguished citizen when he sees one. But
this is neither here nor in Washington. On
the Sunday in question some idiot got into
tho church before the services commenced,
and nut some of this prepared glue on all the
STATS in this row. The seats were soon filled
mp with distinguished citizens of Washing
ton, the President members of his cabinet,
Assistant Postmaster General Hatton, Public
Printer Rounds, judges, prominent lawyers,
and visitors TO the city, When the congre-
cation got up to sing the occupants of the
glue row made an effort to rise, and then,
With Que accord all remained seated. They
had 10 remain seated, or get up without their
customary clothes on. The congregation
lOoNed at the row that was seated, looked at
each other, and then some sat down, thinking
perhaps il was the style to sit down. The
services proceeded, and every little while one
OF the men who was stuck would try to move
around little, to see if he was loose, and all
the rest would look at him to see II he sue
ceedrd IN tearing himself away. The Presi-
deut, who had on pair Of light lavender
panta, Is said to have watched Mr.. Hatton's
efforts % tie himself loose with great interest
and the perspiTation rolled off the presidential
face as though he was out fishing in the sun.
