The Cleveland Flats Again the Scene OF
Costly COnnagRtiGns--Th Fires Evidently
the Work OF Incendiaries.
CLEVELAND, o., September q.
Another fire broke out In the lumber
yards on the flats at eleven o'clock to-
day in the dry-house OF Monroe Bros,
above jefferson Street. This fire was
confined to the yards Of Monroe Bros,
although 1t continued TO burn until
night, at p. M, when another alarm
was given and II was found that another
fire had broken out in the yards of
Brown, Strong & Co., the next yard to
Monroe Bros, but situated some dis
tance from 1t. AS the fire In Monroe
Bros Yard was under control, it is not
thought that the second fire in Brown,
Strong & Co. was in any way connected
with it, but that the fires are the work of
an organized band of incendiaries. Fears
are entertained OF another conaagration,
similar to that Of two weeks ago, and
neighboring towns have been called upon
for assistance. Two engines, one from
Elyria, and one from Akron, have al
ready arrived, and others from San
dusky and gainesville are now ON the way
by special trains.
8. p. m.-The fire In Monroe Bros Is
under under control, but the one in the
yards of Brown, Strong & Company is
still burning tiercely, and has compelled
the firemen to seek new locations for
their engines. Steamers from Ashtabula
and gainesville are just putting their
first stream on the flames. The Connot-
ton Valley Railroad Company have
large number Of cars on their side tracis
alongside OF Brown, Strong & Company's
yards, and which will probably be
burned. The tracks OF the Connotton
are impossible, the rails having been
badly warped by the heat. The lines OF
! the Bankers & Merchants Telegraph
/ Company are also caughtin the fire. Two
poles have already been completely
burned down, and some OF the wires
| broken.
| Midnight-Although now under con-
tro, the fire Is still burning in Monroe
Brothers and Brown, Strong Co.'s
yards. Monroe Bros. & Co.'s loss will
| be 500, 900, on which they have $l50,000
insurance. Brown, Strong Co. Will
| suffer toethe extent of $4,000, with In
surance Of $l75,000.
There is no question but that there IA
| an organized gang Of FIRE bugs, and that
! they are responsible for the fire OF two
/ weeks ago, as we'll ns the one tonight.
] The police made a dozen arrests OF sus~
! picious characters tonight, aud claim To
! have positive proof of the guilt of mum
! Der OF them. Another alarm was sound-
| ed from the west side to which portloo

EIopsd With Her Fathers stabIeman.

NEW York, April 25.--Philopena Unlauf
was the only daughter of q wealthy Baron
in Germany. She numbered her admirers
by the score, but rejected all proposals.
Baron Unlauf had numerous stablemen.
One of them, Gus. Kreuger, was smitten
with the beauty of his employers daughter,
but never dared speak till one day he re-
ceived note from Philopena, who said she
knew he loved her, and that his love was
returned. Gustav at once went to the
Baron and requested his daughters hand.
The old gentleman took a whip and at
tempted to chastise him, but the lover
knocked him down and left. Gustav con-
tinued to meet Pnilopena, and when the
Baron found it out he locked her up in her
room and would not let her leave it. One
night the Baron, returning late, saw Gus
tav sitting on the window sill of his daugh-
ter's room with his arms about her neck. He
called him down, and agreed to give him
$4,000 if he would go to America. The
young fellow agreed. A few mornings
later the Baron went to liberate his dangh-
ter, but found a note saying she had gone
with Gustav. Diamonds and other jew
elry had also disappeared. The Baron
and some friends started in pursuit.
They reached Bremen just in time to
see the couple wave them a fond adieu
from steamers deck. During the voy-
age Gustav obtained his sweetheart's
jewels, and then his love began to
wane. Finally he advised her to return
home as soon as they arrived in America.
When they got here, the Captain of the
steamer reported the case to Superintend-
ent jackson, of Castle Garden, and when
Gustav landed directive arrested him,
and told him that, unless he married Phil
opena. he was good for twenty years in
State Prison. This frightened him so that
he consented, and the detectives led the
couple to clergyman, v no made them one.
After the ceremony, Gustav sententiously
remarked, "You rush things through in
America" The couple will take up their
residence in this city.

BLACK JACKS BOOM.

From the wild's of jackson County cometh
forth a swart Egyptian.
There is thunder in his larynx, there is fury
in his eye;
And the vigor and the volume of his voice
transcend description,
And the scared air shrinks and trembles as
his boom goes whizzing by.
As. with black flag felly Haunting. sweeps the
And the merchants fraughted galley folds
white wings and yields to fate;
So, when Logan shoots hIs voice of, when he
shakes his name of horse-hair,
Covers down in tears and goosef1esh the
affrighted delegate.
As the lon short of rat;ons, his majestic mo-
lars gnashes,
Makes raid upon asheepfold, makes a meal
of kids or goats,
So John Alexander Logan twirls his horrible
mustaches,
Watching for the scalps of Suckers that with
hold from him their votes.
There is none can stand before him when he
elevateS his dander;
There is none so buxom in his speech, SO
strong among ''the boys;'
There is none can howl SO terribly as bold
John Alexander,
The Wild Wolf of jackson County, the Black
Prince of Illinois.
On the head of Fitz John Porter he doth dill
He works the Southern outrage mill with
never-tiring crank;
His eyes are bent on the G. A. R., his foots on
His syntax wobbles woefully, but his Ian
guage's lush and rank,
They adore him down in Egypt, they revere
him in Nebraska,
The current of his mighty yawp flows on to
the Golden Gate;
He is feared in Alabama, hs is famous iI
Alaska,
He's the bulwark of the Stalwarts, he's thf
darling of his State.
Yes, though Brother James Gillespie Blaine
endeavored to deceive him,
Though the milk-and-water young reformer
sicken at his name,
Claim agents all do swear by him, and They'll
never, never leave him,
While he shovels out the surplus, while tn,
soldier votes his game.
From Cairos to Chicago men are plunged ii
fear and wonder
As they hear the roar and rattle of his cy
clone-spreading boom;
And they see look Ike lightning and the,
hear voice like thunder;

A Case Of Cruelty.

Considering that Mr.. Blaine is pos
itively not candidate, the success of
his friends in getting a promise from
him that, in case he is not nominated
at Chicago, he will cordially support
the party candidate, is case of great
cruelty. 1t drags him from his literary
retirement to make promises which, if
he is not candidate, are absolutely
meaningless.
Another wrong that is being done
him is ransacking the country for mi
mute details of his early life, his religious
training and ecclesiastical connections.
What have all these things to do with a
man who is not candidate? They
have actually raked up an old lady who
remembers him as the boy Jim" He
was so shy that he would not enter a
parlor if any one were there. His pas
sion was reading and he never was
without book. When she first saw
him he was so overcome with bashful-
ness that he walked backward stum-
bling against flight of steps, fell over
and scattered his armful of books in
every direction. She does not want to
say that he was homely, slovenly, sim
pie, gawky, awkward, careless of his
appearance. So she says he was just
at the age when boys can not be made
| to look nice" Later on he was '.as
well dressed as any of the young men,
and was beginning to give promise Of
| developing into the fine-louking gentle
man he is now"
OF course when man is candidate
he must expect this vivisection. That
is one of the peculiar pleasures of s
political campaign" 1t is akin to the
enjoyment of the Romans when the
.gladiators slit each other up with their
swords, or were dissected piecemeal by
the wild beasts in the arena. But wher
man is not a candidate this sport is
mean, brutal, cowardly. Ii Mr.. Blaine
instead of claiming the sweet pleasure:
and rewards of a literary life, hankered
for the Presidency and was setting NJ
the pins'' for Chicago, it would be
y fair and legitimate thing to call his at
tention to his qualifications for the Office
even in the "bi ig boy'' stage; his studi
Gus retirement; his awkwardness; hi.
unpromising manners and deportmen
which developed ''into the fine looking
gentleman he now IS"
Imagine the torture this public ex
hibition of his youthful defects must in
fiict upon his sensitive nature. Happily
he can turn from it and find in his his
tory solace for it all.-DetroH Ere

veritable pit of fire. They gave an alarm,
but more than a minute elapsed before the
workmen at the top of the shaft could as
certain why it was sounded. As soon as
they realized the predicament of their fell
low workmen they hoisted the bucket. The
sinkers were fearfully burned, and it is

British lndecision Endangerins The
khedive's Person.
Ne Receives Letters Denouncing Him as a
Troifor---The BritIsh Governments
Decide it Imposstble to Re-
neve Berber Now.

LONDON, April 26.-The Khedive has
caused the British Government to be mott.
He'd that because of the indecisive nature
of the English policy in Egypt, his po-
sition, which has long been one of intolera-
ble annoyance, has now become absolutely
dangerous. 1t is stated that Tewfik Pasha
has, ever since the advent of Clifford Lloyd
as Under Secretary of the Interior for
Egyptian affairs, been treated, even in
public, with a sort of popular contempt, so
far within the law as to
thwart official cogninance, but
80 pronounced and unmistakable
as to be the more CALLING and uncomfortable,
because not punishable. The natives have
exaggerated notions concerning Lloyd.
They know that he was appointed to Egypt
because of his success in bringing to
punishment "Irish rebels" while he was
resident British Magistrate in Ireland;
and they assume that having subdued the
Irish he has been transferred TO Egypt for
the purpose of accomplishing the oblitera-
ton of Egyptian nationality. Tewflk has
come to be regarded as traitor
10 otelR as sSS SSuny, S who the has Egxstsn aGsG
people to the English Government,
and is biding his time for a final retreat
from Egypt upon the wealth given him in
bribes, and he is hated by the fellaheen
Win HlOftat enmiGy. recently tne hne-
dive has received many threatening mes
sages, and he now complains that he is in
daily receipt of letters ordering him to alb
dictate and leave the country, under PEN
atty of assassination. Yesterday he re-
ceived letter, in which he was denounced
as ga traitor to Egypt and tool of the
infidel," and in which the threat was made
that unless he quit the Egyptian throne
and left the country Immediately he would
be poisoned by persons in his closest conf
dence. He has fallen into sort of chronic
melancholy and conducts himself as one
partially demented. In an interview, Sir
Henry Gordon stated that Lord Granville
and the Government were still undecided as
to the expediency of sending an expedition
for the relief Of Berber and Khartoum.
Sir Henry said that he had expressed to
Lord Granville his belief that General Cor.
don was in no personal danger, and advised
that the Government should await
the arrival of General Sir Gerald Graham
who is warm personal friend of General
Gordon, and who accompanied him up the
Nile as far as Dongola, ON his way to Khar-
toum. General Graham is now on his way
to England, as well as Sir Evelyn Barring
and Mr.. Clifford Lloyd, and is expected to
arrive with them on Monday.

Departure Of the Greedy Expedition.

New York, April 25.-The Bear, the
first vessel of the Greedy Expedition, started
on her mission yesterday amid the cheer
ing of thousands gathered at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard to see her off, while from the
starting point down the East River to the
center of the bay there was a continuous
succession of noisy godspeeds from the
many tug whistles and facto y signals.
The craft had been pushed out several
yards from the bulkhead, and across the
narrow gang plank running from the rail
to the string piece was continuous pro-
cession of friends who came to bid good-by
to the officers and men, or'who came with
more substantial offerings of good will in
the shape of packages of gifts and things
calculated to make the weary monotony OF
an arctic trip more bearable,
