some Later Details of the COnnagra-
linn.

ATLANTA, Ga Aug. 13.-Among the
first who came out to witness the fire
yesterday morning was Senator Brown.
He quickly detected the fact that the
Kimbsll House was doomed to destruction
and feared that the flames might spread to
the adjoining blocks. He knew that
the Atlanta fire department would be
unable to cope with the fire in the event
vi its spreading and he Immediately tele-
graphed to the Marietta fire department,
asking them II they could come to Atlanta.
An affirmative reply was received, and in
a short time special train was on lite
way to Marietta TO bring the depart
ment TO this city. The train made
the trip is % minutes, but by that time
telegram was sent to Marietta telling
the company not to come. When they
received the last telegram they were
already out and, boarding the train, they
came to Atlanta in 26 minutes. Upon
reaching the city the company did some
good work.
When it is rendered that the hotel cost
$500, 900 and the furniture &l25, 600 the
amount of the insurance seems strangely
inadequate. On the building and furniture
there WAS only $4,000 insurance. DR..
Joseph Thompson, one OF the
| owners of the hotel, has $25, 00O
insurance on his third interest.
The third interest of John Rice
is also insured for $4,000. One
reason why the owners carried so little
| insurance was because of the high rate
charged. The Kimball House WAS con
| sidered the worst risk in the city. Arate O
| q per cent was charged while on ordinary
central property only one per cent. ii
charged. The Republic Block, jus
opposite, was insured at the rate of l.
per cent, the addition of one quarter heini
made because of the proximity of thu
block to the hotel.
MIR. Scoville, proprietor of the hotel
spent $40, 900 on improvements and fur
niture when he was preparing for the ex
position. He carried policy Of $1,000
on this up to year ago, when he declined
to renew it. At the time OF the fir
he had only 81 200 insurance, placed Il
the North American company. He est
mates his direct loss at from $40, 900
$4,000. The books containing the item
of insurance were inaccessible last nigh

THE DEVON HOTEL BURNED.
Nothing Left But the Chimneys-No
No Lives Lost.

PuILADELrnlA, Aug. 13.-The Hotel
Devon, on the Pennsylvania railroad
about Is miles from the city, was burned
to the ground this morning. Particulars
not yet ascertain ID. The telegraph wires
at the place wer burned and particulars
can only be obtained by train. There
was no loss of life.
The FIRE wa caused by defective flue
in the kitchen and broke ont shortly be-
fore o'clock while the guests were
at breakfast. There was limited
supply of water which WAS used
without avail. The flames spread rapidly,
and at 10 O'Clock there was nothing left
but IL large ohimneys. No one was
injured, and all property of the guests,
| with few exceptions, WAS saved. Nearly
all the furniture was lost.
| The hotel, which was called The Devon
| Inn, was opened May 29th, by Crump
| Brothers, and was owned by Samuel q.
Coffin OF Philadelphia. One hundred
and twenty five guests and about one
hundred employees were in the
house at the tims the fire broke

Pensioners and applicants for pension
and increase of pension should beware
OF the miserable swindlers who lie in
wait for them with devices we'll calcu-
lated to deceive. One of these, Jenkins
A. Fitzgerald Of Washington, has just
been exposed by Secretary Teller. His
scheue was to send out by express, c..
0. D., packages in sizs and shape such
as might readily create the impression
that they were pension certificates. The
claimant, misled by the appearance Of
Of the package, would pay $40
or 80, only to receive letter inclosing
receipted bill for legal services
promised and which would be due when
pension or increase of pension should
be secured. Instances have been
brought to the attention of the Pension
Office where the greatest hardships had
applicants for pensions to get one OF these
worthless Fitzgerald circulars from the
express office. Other devices for swind-
ing pensioners are being patched. The
publication Of the list of all pensioners,
ordered at the last session OF
Congress, will give dishonest claim agents
the name of every pensioner on the rolls,
and circulars are already being sent ont
offering all manner OF inducements &c
secure an increase OF pension. Tie
moment these swindlers receive any kind
Of reponse they begin to ask for small
advance fee, in some cases as low as one
dollar to cover postage and stationary,
and their chief work from that time or
will be to bleed their victims as long as
they have any money to part with.

lowers is Superintendent Of the House OF
Correction telegraph line, at salary of
81, 800 per annum. This line is only
mile and a half long, and has never been
used since erected, yet the superinten
dent has drawn his salary regularly.
After suggesting number of necessary
reforms the Governor urges the Demo.
Gratis Of the State to stand by their party,
but to make demand on the leaders for
reform. Failing in this, he recommends
an independent movement. The card
will cause great sensation, and will
undoubtedly lead to serious dissensions
in the party. Governor Hamilton's
friends have had him before the public
for selection on reform platform, but
the Ring politicians have emphatioally
sat down on all his chances for the party
nomination, as they found him entirely
too economical. An important feature OF
the Governors card Ia that In which he
admits that the entire sinking fund Of
the State has been used for other pur-
DOSes.

bers of the Fire Board Indicted
for Fraud.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 13.-The grand jury
to-day presented all the members OF the
late commission OF the fire department
of this city fer malteasance in office. The
board consisted of Mayor William Pick
ney pWhyte, ex-oficio president, and
Samuel W. Register, Thomas w. Camp
bell, J. Frank Morrison, Samuel Hanna,
Bartholomew +. Smith and Charles B.
Slingluff. Bail was fixed at $4,000 in
each case. The presentments caused
great excitement and establishment about
the city ball and court honse.
Last winter the Common Council, at
the instigation of the Mayor, abolishedthe
Fire Board and created the office of Fire
Marshal, to which position Mayor Whyte
appointed his fsvorite Secretary, ].
Monroe Heiskell. The latter gentleman
Immediately began an investigation Of
the accounts OF the old board, the results
of which he laid before the grand jury.
That body continued the investigation
with the result that was announced to
day.
Mr.. Heiskell says that two OF the ole
members bad been selling supplies to the
board at higher prices than their actua
value, and contrary to city ordinance, ar,
| involving the sale and purchase Of 5000
feet Of hose at 81 IS per foot, when only
a 500 feet Were needed, and the marke
price is 81 per foot. DurinI
1882, he says, supplies wer
purchased, many OF them unnecessary
from G. G. Westcott who was employees
by Morrison, member of the board, t
run store belonging to Morrison. D
Il. Taxworth, Morrison's partner in tn
Southern Electric Company, also sent i
many bills to the board. The board ais
laid for supplies furnished by j. Regeste
& Sons.
The presentment against Morrison an
REGISTER is for malfeAsance in office
selling material to the city without PEI
hitting competition asked at prices
high as to constitute fraud upon IL
city.
The presentment against Mayor Why

board is tor malfeasance in office in know
ingly permitting such sales.
!, The penalty for malfeasance in office

the case of mayor, his removal fro

Mayor Whyte is boiling over with raj
at the result, as he did not expect for

own indictment. He has been literal

Troubles That Led 10 Either Murder
mr. Sutpit,R.

TRENTON, N. j., Aug l4-Charles A.
Knobloeh, confeotionef, lad his wife
arrested yesterday for assault. At the
hearing in the evening Mrs. Knotloch
told pitiiul story OF the life she had led
for some time past. She said Knobloch
was ~idower with two children when
she married him about year ago. These
children caused her much annoyance, and
when she undertook to Ghastise them
Kncblooh interiered. He frequently beat
her, and treated her at ali times with
extreme cruelty.
The police justice held her in her own
recognizanee for her appearance at court.
She and her husband then left the court,
but instead OF going home thsy wandered
the streets INDUCING in mutual upbraid-
ings. AT midniS hit the bridge tender at the
Ferry street crossing Of the Delaware &
Raritan canal heard splash in the water
and FOUND Knobloch swimming about aud
finally rescued him. Knobloch stated
that he had been pushed in by his wife,
who then jumped in herself. She had
sunk to the bottom. The body has since
been recovered, and Kuoblooh has been
held to await the result of the eoroner's
inquest. Mrs. Knobloak about three
months ago attempted suicide by taking
laudanum,

A few cranks calling themselves the
National party Of New Jersey have been
holding convention at Asbury Park,
and if we may judge from the impracti-
cable nature OF their platform, they have
in all probability induced their handful
of constituents to send them to this
Jersey watering place ostensibly on the
grave errsnd Of outlining political
policy, but in reality to enjoy few days
recreation at the seaside. The represen-
tatives Of the National party of New
Jersey msgnifcently demand that the
General Government possess itself of
all the country's railroads, and tele-
graph lines; that all money, presumably
not only the trade dollar but as we'll the
smallest subsidiary coin, be made legal
tender; that postal telegraph be eatsb-
lished, and women be given the right to
vote. 1t was inevitable that in this col
lection OF crsnks there should be some
advocates of prohibition" but just why
resolution urging that particular in
sanity was rejected does not appear. De-
clarations for prohibition, UNLIMITED green
backs and free love would have made the
platform consistent throughout.
We are impatient ofthe self constituted
physicians of the body politics who M
hesitstingly suggest the most heroic
remedies whenever some unusual diff
Guilty presents itself. The oppression
worked by great corporations las set men
thinking, and a few even cautious meu
have turned slowly toward governmental
control of railroads and telegraphs as q
possible solution OF the matter, but only
such heady crsuks as composed the New
Jersey convention are prepared to in
corporate this idea into the platform OF {
political party, and it is of piece will

bsckism and women suffrage shoult
appear as part of their gospel. -.
