Weeks Ago - The City Thoroughly
Alarmed.
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 21.-The scenes
at the great fire two weeks ago were re-
peated to-day on smaller scale. That
fire was thought at the time to have ori-
ginated in an accident, but to-day's oc-
currences lead to the belief that il NAV

Brothers & Co.'s lumber yards, on the
Upper Flats, and DESTROYED a large

noon, when the fire department were
about TO go home, thick smoke, as if from
coal oil, suddenly poured forth from the
inside of drying shed in Browne, Strong
u Co.'s lumber yard, some distance from
the yard Of Monroe Bros. &
Co. Two suspicious looking men,
who were seen watching this fire
at its inception without moving to give
an alarm, strengthen the theory OF arson.
When this last ire broke out, and it be-
came certain that incendiaries were at
work, word was sent to neighboring towns
for help, and engines came from Akron,
gainesville, Sandusky, Elyria and Ashta-
bula. At O'Clock this evening the fire
was under control, and no further danger

The Peoples Party of Lowell Turns Out
With Bands and Torches.
LOWELL, MASS, Sept. 21.-The firstra
ificatl on meeting under the auspices of
the Peoples party was held here Saturday
evening. 1t was one of the largest gath
erings ever held in this city. The mem
bers of the different ward clubs number
ing 10000 assembled in their several ward
rooms, and headed by bands and st. Pat
rick's drum corps, marched to Gen. Rut-
ler's residence in Belvidere, where the
Peoples party's candidate for President
awaited them. He was escorted to the
skating rink. j. b. Carmichael presided
and introduced Gen. Butler. After re-
1errlng to the happiness he felt in meeting
his brother soldiers of Lowell the General
delivered speech in which he discussed
the tariff in its bearings upon
the wOrkingmen. He spoke of the impor-
tatiOn of foreign labor, and said that a
bill was passed through the House to
prevent 1t by contract to debase Ameri-
can labor, and that the bill was pigeon
holed in the Senate, where there was a
Republican majority, and it sleeps the
sleep that knows no Weakening. TCheers
and applause. "Tnat is the great obiec-
ton that l have to the action of the Re-
publican party"
Gen. Butler then addressed himself to
the workmen, saying: ''If those cOlored
men at the South are going to come into
competition with you in the market, they
being compelled to work for half price,
what are you going to do? What is the
use of a tariff under such a condition Of
affairs! They are starting manufactures
Of all kinds down there i'm the
South, and by paying their laborers
one-haf what you get here are
competing with you. There is iron down
there, and they are starting iron works,
and the same condition of affairs will be
obtained with other laboring men as with
the laboring men of the South, who are
paid One-half the wages that are received
by their brethren in the North. What are
you going to do about it?''

Them; 1 Tell You, to Buy"
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Mr. Warren
Fisher is neither liar, nor a blackmailer.
nor drunkard, nor any of the miserable
things that Mr.. Blaine's newspaper
friends have called him. Mr.. Blaine has
never alleged that he has not been well
treated on the whole by Mr.. Fisher. He
may be IN some respects a weak man, but
ne Is at least an honest one. 1t is within
the NEWS correspondents personal
knowledge that he could have had $4,000
ior copies OF Mr.. Blaine's letters if he
would have sold them, but both he
ana Mr.. Mulligan scOrned to touch
cent for the letters and
treated every proposition for payment as
an insult. Something has been said
ABOUT Mr.. Fisher writing to Mr.. Blaine to
ask Tor cOnsulship. Ever since the
revelations of 1876 Mr.. Blaine has been
quietly talking cOnsulship in a way to
reach the ears of Messrs. Mulligan and
FISHER. Sometime ago he procured an in
terVleW with Mr.. Fisher and the subject
came up. Mr.. Fisher has family grow
ing up. His wife is a sister of the banker
sistare, of New York, and is a woman of
esprit.
They have good income from trust
funds which is not affected by his business
reVerses. 1t would not have been an un.
pleasant thing for Mr.. Fisher to have
gone abroad and held consulship, while
ne sent his children to some good school.
OFFERS OF CONsULsHIPs.
But this was not what MIR. Blaine
wanted. As soon as the subject came I'D
Mr. Blaine began to sound Mr.. Fisher
about the letters in Mr.. Mulligan's pos
session, whether he would sell them. and
whether MIR. Mulligan would not like TO
return to the ''Old country" in an
official capacity Mr.. Fisher asked Mr..
Blame how much he would be willing to
pay for the letters in Mr.. Mulligan's pos
session. Mr.. Blaine warmly declined to
mention any sum, saying to HIM with
great emphasis: "Buy them. | tell YOU

a doubt. Mr.. Blaine shouted: Every
man has his price. / tell you to buy

conversation to Mr.. Mulligan he re-

enough in the Bank of England to

gerOusly Wounded.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 21.-Harry Clay,
a well known lawyer and politician, was
shot and perhaps fatally wounded here
this morning by Andrew Wepler, COun-
Gilman of the Eleventh ward. Clay was
drinking, and wanted to borrow some
money from Wepler, who would not lend
him as much as he wanted. Clay then be-
gan to abuse Wepler. and went out for a
pistol with which to shoot him. On his
return the two men, armed with pistols,
said that they were ready to fight, and
took their stands. Wepler fired and the ball
struck Clay in the groin and ranged
downward into the thigh. Clay is a
grandson of Henry Clay and he was one
of the Arctic vOyagers on the ill-fated
PToteus, and is prominently mentioned
for Congress from this district. His
wound is very dangerous, though he may
recover. Wepler gave himself up.

ANGLING FOR IRISH VOTES.

False Campaign Document Exposed by
an Irish Suspect Who was Impris-
Oned.
There is now in the hospital of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad, says a st. Louis
special to the New York Herald, an Irish
man who knows from actual experience
something of Blaine's efforts in behalf OF
Americans IN foreign prisons.
A short time ago f. p. Brooks, of PeO-
ria, ILL.,, who was United States Consul
at Cork, Ireland, wrote letter to a Peo-
ria paper setting forth, in very strong
words, what Blaine had done through him
Brooks in behalf of Irish American sus-
poets. Republication of the article in
the Cork Examiner was secured, and it
has been used as a trump card by the Re-
publicans to secure Irish votes.
Henry O'MahOny, the Irishman allud-
ed to, had an experience as a suspect in
Ireland that he will not soon forget, and
it was in his case that, according to
Brooks, Blaine's efforts were most earnest
~ made and were successful. O'Mahony
has lived in this country off and on about
twenty years, making periodical trips to
Ireland. During the war he served on
a gunboat fleet on the lower Mississippi.
He was shown the letter and asked for
lliOl uioblOu Ou bllG ouDJCCJs AlbGI
it he proceeded to analyze it.
EXPERIENCE OF A SUSPECT.
He said he was arrested while in Ire
land in April, 1881, on a false charge Of
shooting at a man. Brooks visited him in
a Limerick Jail, but did nothing for him.
He subsequently wrote to Brooks, who re-
piled that the case had been laid before
Minister Lowell, and that the latter had
replied to the effect that it was his Opin-
ion that O'Mahony would not be in prison
If he were innocent of the crime charged.
When Earl Spencer and Mr.. Trevelyan
came into power O'Mah0ny says that Mr..
Lowell issued circular to his subordi-
mates instructing them to offer each of the
imprisoned suspects" $40 to pay their
way to America at such time as they
might be released. The offer was rejected
by O'Mahony and his fellow prisoners,
because its acceptance would be an ad-
mission of guilt on their part.
They were at length released uncon-
ditionally, and when they applied for the
$40 they ascertalned that the previous
offer had been withdrawn. O'Mahony
says that Blaine, being at the head of the
Department of State, was responsible for
each and every act of Minister Lowell.
He suffered considerable while in prison,
and speaks bitterly of Blaine and the Re-
publican party generally.
