ARREST OF SUPPOSED INCENDIARY.
George Scheller, proprietor of the Newhall
house bar, was arrested this afternoon ON q
warrant charging him with setting the fire
which destroyed the Newhall house. Schelor
did not seem very much surprised, and made
no statement. He has been drinking heavily
since the fire, and his face shows the effects of
the spree. The prisoner was Immediately
transferred to the county Jail. The officers
are very reticent about the details of the ar
rest. 1t is reported that SchCller was arrested
principally ON the statements of Linehau and
another employe, who claim claim that
they saw Scheller in the wood room
where Linehan says the fire originated, and
that he was there after 3 o'clock in the
morning. The district attorney refused
to let any one see Scheller, the excuse
being that he was afraid an attempt would be
made to lynch him. Schellcr is about 30
years old, married, and has small family

to defend him. An extra guard will be kept
at the Jail all night. SCheller has been IN
financial straits of late. An attempt made
last Friday to raise $500 on a chattel mortgage
from Charles Sholes, gambler, failed. The
liquor dealer furnishing the barroom holds

The COronation-A Grand Display of
 Electric Light.
 Moscow, April 23.-The preparations for the Kremlin display during the coronation ceremonies are in many respects more re- markable than have ever before been made for similar ceremonies. The introduction of the electric light is of course new, and it is to be used freely in novel and effective ways. It will be used in all the scores of buildings in the palace grounds, upon the turrets, towers and domes, and throughout the grounds themselves so that the whole city will be illu- minated from the Kremlin hill. Many of the larger lights will be elevated far above the sixty feet high walls, and the battlements will be lined by many thousand lamps. Some idea of the extent of the display can be gained from the fact that the single tower of Ivan Veliki will be covered by no fewer than thirty-fve thous. and lamps, perfectly displaying the outlines of the tower, which is regarded as the monu- ment of the Czar Boris Godenof, and which in it's outlines is the most graceful building in Russia. The preliminary work has already been done, sailors having been brought here especially to do the rigging for the lantern fixtures about the great cupola The top most device there will be 8 great laurel wreath of lights surmounted by the figures ''18S3' in light and below them the two shields containing the arms of the empire.

EGYPT.

English Commands Treated With Con-
 tenpt-Ths Soldiers Growing Restless.
 CAIRO, April 23-The constitutional checks which it was attempted to place on the subordinate local officers are being freely violated despite the efforts of English author ities to enforce them and some of the regu- lations have already practically become 8 dead letter. The brutal punishment of the courbash has been openly resumed despite the positive terms of the circular forbidding it only two months ago. One of the mudirs at zagazig has not only announced that he has the full authority of the ministry of the interior and of the Khedive to resume fog ging, but has shown that he was telling the truth by at once proceeding to fog five felIaheen at the dfdicial residence of the gov ernor The small local officials throughout Egypt hold the orders contained in the cir- culars in contempt and do not hesitate open ly to show their dislike and contempt for English or other officers who attempt to enforce them. The knout is likely again to become the law.
 LONDON, April 23.-Advices from Egypt show great discontent over the uncertainty felt by the officers and soldiers of the army of occupation at the duration of their ser vice. Many of them would send for their families if they knew they were to remain and complain because they can get no deh- nite information on the subject. They are in active service and yet have few of it's advantages while suffering all it's disad- vantages, to say nothing of the add ed suffer- ing and loss of life which is sure to accompa- ny the warm wet seas on which has already begun. They receive very few of the allow ances usual to active service abroad and their surroundings are to the last extent dis agreeable.

Swept Off by the VVtnd-severaI Towns
 Destroyed by Cyclone-Iany Persons
 Killed and Injured-An Awful Picture
 of Destructton.
 NEW ORLEANS, April 23.-A Wesson Miss } special gives details of most terrible cyclone that swept over all that section of country in which Wesson and Beauregard are situa- ted, stating that several entire forests are blown down, several hundred houses destroy ed and many people killed and injured. The wind for the past three days was blowing gale and the lowering clouds indicated @ storm. It's approach was heralded by deep rumbling sounds, the windows in the dwell ings shaking with violence, and many antici- pated an earthquake The thunder roared and the lightning flashed with alarming vivid ness. Fences were torn down, trees were uprooted and cast one hundred yards away East of the railroad in Wesson the damages were slight, but in the western portion of the town the destruction was awful. As soon as the storm had somewhat abated, and people began to look about, loud peals of church bells were being rung, people were seen run ming in all directions toward West Wesson, the rain in the meantime pouring in torrents Reaching Peach Orchard street an inde- scribabIe scene was witnessed. Ths street is lined with large number of houses in which the operatives of the Missis- sippi mills are domiciled, and here the great est destruction occurred. People were seen on all sides sobbing, and the groans of the wounded beneath the ruins were appalling. Dwellings were torn to pieces, and pine forest just beyond the limits of the town was blown out of existence. At Wesson thirteen persons were killed, sixty wounded and twen- ty-seven houses destroyed. At Beauregard twenty three were killed, ninety wounded and the town entirely swept away. The suf- fering is very great, and assistance is needed. Special trains with physicians have arrived from several places. Among the killed in Wesson are Mrs. McCausty and her chil- dren, several children of MT. Gedson so mangled as to be unrecognizable, and several others whose names could not be obtained in the confusion. Beauregard is in ruins. Not 8 house is standing in the place. The list of the dead and wounded at Beauregard includes John Ross, mortally wounded; Milton Story, killed; Morgan James, mortally wounded; Isaac Bloom, seriously wounded; M. Daniel, mortally wounded TurnbulI of Brook Haven, fatally wounded Captain Lampkins, wife and child, killed; Wilcox, both arms broken :; George Holloway, mortally wounded; Mrs Holloway, leg broken Ferguson and family, ten persons, dangerously wounded; Charles Lane, mortally wounded; Dr. Pierce and child, mortally wounded; Williams, killed.
 On the Natchez and Columbia railroad the town of Tilman was destroyed and several killed and wounded. On the Vicksburg and Meridian railroad the town of Lawrence suf fered terribly. The reports from other places and from the country show that the storm was widespread and destructive. Telegraph lines were blown down for miles around.

 An affair that seems likely to terminate ia. tally took place on Elm street, New Britain, Sunday night. In the course of a row Pat. rick Geogan was struck on the head with a brick and perhaps fatally injured. Dr. Com ing said yesterday that his skull is fractured in three places, and that his chances of recovery are doubtful. The police have arrested Patrick Walsh, Charles Fay and William Tarpy, who were before the Police court yesterday morning and were held for further developments. Though Geogan is very low it is proposed to have him testify before he dies and his state ments were taken yesterday by the city at torney. Cases have been common where pafties have recovered, but the chances of Geogan's death seem very. probable. The 1nur5erous assault occurred as follows: Geo gan and Peter Clerkin, both respectable Irishmen. were about to enter Clerkin's house when they were alarmed by the cry of murder" and 'shelp."
