FIRE AT THE PRINTING OFFICE.
The Carriage House and Some OF Its Con-
tents Burned.

At 1:50 o'clock this morning an alarm Of
fire was turned in from box 62, situated at
the government printing Office, by Special
Watchman Pomeroy, caused by flames be-
ing discovered in the carriage house
of the government printing Office. En-
gines 3, 6, and responded promptly and
set to work, and on the general alarm all of
the companies in the district responded, but
did not go into action. The fire was con-
fined to tho carriage house just west of the
printing office, but it came through
tho roof and caught house No. 80,
adjoining it, owned and occupied by
John M. Miller, but did not injure it beyond
running the corniCe work. There were in tho
carriage house some carriages and sleighs, part
of which belonged to Public Printer Rounds,
but they were damaged very little. The har-
ness was burned and tho stable almost burned
down. Mr.. Rounds was on the ground, and
directed the operations of the printing office
force, who ut first attempted TO eXtinguish
the fire by fire extinguishers. The damage
to the carriage house, carriages, and horses
was estimated by him to be about 1000
The damage to Millers house was about $50.
There were abundant sources of water for
n much greater fire than really occurred, but
it is questionable whether those supplies
would be enough in case the office itself
should be the scene of great fire. In such
contingency the whole square in which it is
situated the two directly north, and the one
south must inevitably go.
Small as the conhagration was it excited
great alarm in the neighborhood. The long
brick row on the north side of III street was
illuminated at every window, showing that
the occupants had been aroused from sleep,
while on the south side genuine fright was
experienced. The upper windows of each
house were opon and filled with
timid persons, while many of the inmates,
including number of women, came upon
street. Tho bright moonlight soon showed
them tho slight extent of the danger.
There were about two hundred persons at
work in the printing Office soma of whom
hastily came down stairs to the scene of cx-
citement. The majority, however, remained
Mt work, Notwithstanding the prodigious scare
that accompanied the discovery Of the fire.
II would be well to accept this slight burn
ing as warning of what might occur, and
profit from ii to make the Office somewhat less
than the tinder-boX it is.

SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE.
The First Days Formal sOssions-subjccts
Considered.

The sunday-school institute opened its ses-
siors yesterday afternoon at the Congrega-
tional church. A large attendance was an
evidence of the interest felt by church people
in this work. The distinguished conductor
of the institute, Rev. j. l.. Hurlbut, of Plain
field, occupied the first hour on The Church
and the Sunday-school," during which his
zeaN~ earnestness, and thorough mastery of
his subject amply justified his high reputa-
tion as an institute conductor
He was followed by Mrs NJ, Y. Kennedy,
of Philadelphia in an address on the "Aim in
Primary Teaching" Mrs. Kennedys whole
heart seems to be in her work, and keen,
vigorous intellect enabled her to furnish many
facts and suggestions Of value to her hearers,
In the evening, commencing at 1880 o'clock,
Rev. Mr.. Hurlbut delivered an address on
"The Teaching for To-day" in which he
showed himself fully abreast Of the most ad-
vanced thought on this subject.
He was followed by Dr. Q. II. Blackall on
the Conduct of the Sunday-sChool."
To-day the programme is rs follows; Second
normal hour "The Bible Lands;" address,
Rev. A. Il. Dunning, general Sunday-school
secretary of Congregational church, "The
Emphasis of Personal Character in Bible
Teaching"
Mrs. Kennedy will hold reception foI
primary teachers only in the lecture room.

with the applicant, or such other attorney as
he may appoinS, Attorneys will be promptly
notified by the examiner in charge of the
case of their revocation of their powers of at
torncy. An assignment of an undivided in
terest will not operate as q revocation of the
power of attorney previously given, but the

sented by an attorney of his own selection.
Rule 26, In case of an assignment of the
whole interest in the invention, or of tho
whole interest in the patent TO be granted,

| even if the patent is to issue to an assignee.
| If the inventor be dead, it may be made by
| the executor or administrator, or by the as
signee of the entire interest.
Rule AZ. In case the applicant seeks by
amendment to introduce any claim not sub
stantially embraced in the statement of in
vention or claim originally presented, and
therefore not covered by the original oath, he
will be required to file n supplemental oath to
the effect that the subject matter of the pro-
posed amendment was part of his invention,
and was invented before he filed his original
application, and such supplemental oath must
be upon the same paper which contains the
proposed amendment.

has been rejected more than two years, the

of some sworn employe of the office specially
authorized by tho commissioners.

Defying the Acts OF the state Legislature
OpeIiISn Under Mob Lnw-Arrests.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Jan. 23-Nesterday
evening the marshal appointed by the commits
soners who constitute the municipal authors
ties of Opclika attempted to arrest II man who
was violating the town laws. The arrest was
resisted, and eX-MayOr Dunbar and his fol-
lowers went to his rescue. Pho marshal sum-
mOnCd n posse Of citizens, and the deputy
sheriff was ordered TO support the marshal
with what other help he could summon. The
nttcmpt to arrest the offenders was futile
from want of sufficient force and arms. The
number of rioters is not known exactly, be-
cause some of them are in buildings The re-
sistenCe is made by men armed with shOtguns
aud pistols, and CntrcnChCd in their houses Of
business. The president Of the commission
tclCgraphed here: "Wo have not sufficient
men and arms to ovorpOwor them; TO
attempt to do so would result in defeat and
bloOdshcd. Shooting into the streets in all
directions is kept up continually making it
exceedingly dangerous for any one to be
on the streets An armed mob has taken the
town. Tho sheriff Is too sick to leave his
room His principal deputy, Mr. Gordon, Is
present. About 10 o'clock the governor or
dcrcd the Montgomery GrcyS te be ready to
start at u moments notice. They got together
i'm hurry, and the Western railway had a
tain ready in thirty minutes, At about ll:3O
they started and reached Opclilin, siXty-sevon
miles distant, before 2 o'clock. The governor
received a telegram from Col. II. q. Jones q
little before 2 O'clock announcing the safe ar
rival of the Grcys at Opelika, He found all
quiet. Tho governor tGlegraphed to execute
the laws and serve process tonight If ncces'
sary. At 2i5 Il, m, Col Jones tclcPraphed
that after consultation with Pinckard, they
had decided to arrest the rioters tonight, and
Col. Lee, solicitor, was then preparing affidavit;
The governor answered, "SpGrc no pains tC
execute tho law night or day, and permit nc
rioter to escape" Dunbar IS the old mayor
whose Office was vacated by an act of the legis
| laturc yacating the town charter and appoint
| ing Il commission of five citizens. Dunbar ant
/ his crowd refuse TO recognize the commission
and resist its authority. AS the state legis
| laturo created the commission, the governor
/ will see that the acts of the commission art
sustained mt all hazards.
3 MONTGOMERY, ALA, Jan, ga dispatch

were arrested before dayhrealS, and are now
out under bonds Dunbar dciicd the marsha
and his posse yesterday, but is very submis
/ siyG now, and offers to assist in getting tho
rioters arrested At noon to-day everything
was quiet, 1t Is feared that if the militar,
leave tonight there will be serious trouble
over one thousand shots were fired last night
but no one was hurt. The firing was not a

As was stated in yesterdays REPUBLICAN,,
shaw's body was taken to the Georgetown
Medical college, but beside that it was carried
round in hack, and found with its legs stick
ing out of the window, as the hack drove up
to the second precinct station yesterday morn
ing. The hackman, who was drunk, was
arrested, and search was made for Jansen, the
resurrectionist, who was supposed to have
done the work, aud he was finally captured.
He at first denied haying had any connection
with the affair when questioned by
Il REPUBLICAN reporter, but finally
admitted the whole thing. The
body was reinforced and Jansen will be
brought before the police court to-day. He
can, IL is said, be held on two charges; one of
carrying dead body through the street with
out permit and the other for trespass.
