Two Barns Burned.

An alarm from box 5 at II. IS this morn
ing took the fire department to the corner
of Moorhead and Harrington avenues.
where the two barns on opposite sides of
the avenue, belonging to E. j. Chadwick,
were burned to the ground. The barn on the
north side, occupied by Geo. B. Woodward,
manager of Fairbanks, Morse, & Co., was
the first burned, and though officer
Kafka got out a horse, it was so
badly scorched, that it was thought
that it would have to be killed, and a veteri-
nary surgeon was at once sent for to deter
mine its fate. The officer also got some Sc
we're burns while rescuing it. The loss of
Chadwick on this side of the street was about
5000 and uninsured, while Mr.. Woodward S
loss was about 1925.
The flames communicated to the Chadwick
barn and shop on the south side of the ave
nue., which was occupied by the teams and
materials for moving buildings of Matthew
Craig. The horses, wagons and
sleighs therein were removed by Officer
Kafka, but the balance of the tools and con-
tents were destroyed, entaling loss on Mr..
Craig of from $500 to $500. The loss on the
barn and shop was about $3.50, which was
fully insured by policy held on them by
Mr.. Chadwick, and on the house adjoining
of $4,000.
The Woodward barn was in the rear of his
residence, 244 Harrington avenue, and the
Craig barn and shop in the rear of his resi-
dence, 303 Nelson avenue, and the alarm
was sent in by Officer Scheiffer. Marshall
avenue is very narrow at this point, and the
north side fire getting under thorough head
way before stream could be got on it, the
flames ignited the Craig barn. The canse of
the fire is set down as incendiary.

FORTHCOMING ENGLISH BOOKS.

Matthew Arnold has been unable to resist
the mania for publication, and is announced
as entering on the publication of book, to
contain his impressions of America. 1t
will be a marked conclusion, which will be
regarded in England as a text book on
America. The author remained in this
country couple of months. He travelled
on frst-class sleepers from town to town,
and when he stopped he located himself
at some first-class hotel. He met the people
in the lecture room, in which he told them
how little Emerson amounted to, and how
little virtue, decency and intelligence there
are to be foundin the majority of the nations
This is all he saw of this country and its
people, and upon the information thus
gained he will give us his impressions of
America.
Irving is also preparing, as he goes along,
his impressions of America, that is to say, he
has with him writer who is taking down
Irving's impressions as he, the writer, re-
ceives them from his own, the writer's OBJ
servation, and in this way, there will be
another matured, well-considered English
ed will not see much to find fault with for
he contemplates coming over here again.
We shall have much taffy as to our taste, in
telligence, our greatness and our incredible
future, all of which will have reference to a
big reception on another tour and the gener-
Gus sale of the book in this country To
use a bit of slang, Irving ''worked
us for all it was worth, while he was over
here, and now he proposes to reap some
more pelf from book which he will not
write, and from the dissemination of impress
sons which he does not entertain. Those of
us who shall read Irving's impressions of
America will find nothing to hurt our anon.
pr0pr8. We shall find that we are even a
greater and more wonderful nation than
we have hitherto supposed ourselves to be.
The tumultuous ovation which we every
where gave the tragedian proves our culture,
and our keen appreciation of art. Irving
without the scratch of pen or thought on
the subject will locate us in the front rank of
nations in the matter of enterprise, intelli-
gence, cultivated manners and love of art
Arnolds impressions Of this country, will
do nothing of the kind. He is not coming
here any more, and his book will have no
reference to future gate-money. We shall
not be classed among ''the saints and sages."
When we read his book, we shall find that we
have no philosophers nor philosophy, no
authors, no books, no nothing.

Gordon Defeated.

LONDON, March 30.-It is reported that on
the 10th, Gen. Gordon made Il sortie from
Khartoum with 300 men, two guns and
squadron of Bashi Bazouk cavalry, accom-
panied by three steamers on the river. The
rebels were encountered near Aalfiyeh. Sixty
of the enemy's cavalry charged the Bashi
Bazouks and put them to flight, causing
panic among the infantry, who also fled in
great disorder Gen. Gordon returned to
Khartoum. Notwithstanding this check, he
declares Khartoum is quite safe. On near
ing the rebels Gen. Gordon drew up his
troops in the form of a square, in which they
were kept till attacked by the enemy, when
the Egyptians turned and fed. Two hundred
of them were slaughtered and three guns
lost. There are enough provisions at Khar-
toum to enable the town to hold out till win

UNPR0VOKED MURDER.

day, Michael Burns, an inoffensive popular
waiter, stepped out of the St. James hotel
Into an alley adjoining, and was Immediately
shot down in cold blood, and soon after died
Willis Adams, with two smoking pistols in
his hands was arrested on the spot for the
crime. He is resident of Dallas,
employed as drummer by
Derby & Day, of st, Louis and is a
brother of SamuelJ. Adams, a Dallas banker
accused for years with having been in intim-
ate relationship with Polly Parker, the most
notorious of the Dallas demi monde, who,
two years ago, established a house of the
worst repute at 1006 Commerce street, within
two feet of Burns residence. His family is
said to be subjected to the outrageous insults
and persecution by Adams, Madame Parker,
and persons of both sexes who frequented
the den. Mrs. Burns was an invalid, and un-
able to leave her house, otherwise she and her
husband would have moved long ago. They
recently attempted to sell the pro-
perty, but were prevented by the
surroundings, and could get no
purchaser, nor could they even rent. Hacks
have been caused to stand in front of his
residence to make people believe that the
Burns were of bad reputation. The killing
has aroused the public Indignation to high
pitch. The streets are filed with excited
men OF all classes, both afternoon and even
ing and every one condemns Adams. Hun
dreds are heard to openly declare in favor of
going to the Jail tonight and lynching
Adams, and also tear Madame Parker
house down. The news from Cincinnati
has taken the public mind and on every hand
remarks are heard, ''We need little of Gin
cinnati here" The sheriff has doubled his
force, and is riding about the city warning
the men that attempts at lynching would re-
suit in the loss of many lives. A jury has
been obtained, but the inquest adjourned til
tomorrow. Adams has secured several Of
the ablest lawyers in the city, and this is ca
gerly commented on in connection with his
wealthy relationship. The popular, particu
| larly the labor element, is greatly aroused.

HALLETT KILBoURNE in his suit against
the house of representatives has gained the
third trial of the litigation, verdict of
S37, 500 being awarded in his favor. This
is the smallest of the three favorable verdicts
for Kilbourne, being little more than half OF
the last one. These conclusions show that
the government cannot maintain successful
resistance to the charge of false imprison-
ment. Kilbourne, because he would not an
swer the inquisitorial questions put to him by
a house committee, was by order of the house
seized by the sergeant-in-arms and impris
oned for days in the dungeon in the leave"
under the Hall of representatives. At
the present time the senate has a
witness in custody who will not answer GER
tain questions, and this verdict renders
some of the digniied senators trife nerv-
Gus. Citizens ought to have rights and
ought to be protected in them, that arrogant
congressman, mad with power cannot over
ride. The size Of the judgment does not at
all affect the principle involved, though as
compensatory damages, in the Kilbourne
case the decree could with great propriety
have been much larger.

A STRIKE MINENT,
A Rising That Will Carry DesOlation
in Its Track Expected.

PITTsBURG, March 3O.-A special from
Clearfeld, says: The announcement that
the prominent companies, composing the
BituminousCoal exchange, viii reduce wages
in all departments of labor on Tuesday next,
April /, has created the liveliest excitement
throughout Broad Top district The miners
union is very strong, and the Knights of
Labor organization Lave taken a deep inter
est in the affairs of the Collier association,
and a spirited and prolonged strike will be
inaugurated, unless there is some modifica-
ton, or entire abolition of the
new schedule rates. Fully $1,000 miners
are ready to throw down their tools
and quit the mines, as soon as the signal is
raised for the inaugurating fight. In the far
northern end of Clearfield county it is not
settled yet, and it is possible the GOLFERS in
Westmoreland, Blair, Cambria, and other
counties may yet decide to join the agrees
sive movement against reduction of wages.
The operators claim that the state of trade
imperatively demands a reduction of mining
expenses. On the other side, the miners as
sert that the action is unnecessary, unwar-
ranted and arbitrary. 1t is quite evident that
the coal and transportation corporations ap-
prehend extended and complicated
difficulties, if not lawless and
disastrous uprisings, as all arrangements
have been perfected for placing large, strong
" equipped and well armed detachments of
coal and iron police in those districts where
there is no regularly constituted constabulary,
and where valuable and perishable colliery
property might possibly be exposed to mob
violence.

conspirators from Lucerne or Lackawanna.
counties, and it is expected they will be vet
captured. Diabolically illustrated ''coflin
notices" have been distributed in some of
the mining towns, and the coal and iron
police think Paddy Murphy, champion of the
Molly Mcguire kuklux the letter writer is
the author of the suggestive missives. Evil
dence of his penmanship can be traced to
nearly all of them. Paddy is thought to be
hiding somewhere near Pittsburg, but he has
numerous nomadic agents that disseminate
the threatening documents among timid
miners and others to quit the country.

CURRENT COMMENT.

PRIVATE DALzELL, an Ohio politician greatly
afflicted with cacoethes Scri6endi, is opposed to
the nomination of Mr.. Blaine, and to draw out
something that might suit his hostile purpose, he
has asked hundred men to give him reason or
an excuse for Blaine being a candidate, Dalzell
taking the ground that the Republican party don't
want gavanic battery for a candidate The
hundred Blaine men, he says, have all glared at
him and bawled: "You were one of the Hayes
crowd who shut off the gas and defeated him in
Cincinnati; curse you; we mean to vindicate
him. Dalzell concludes: ''ThenI saw through
it. He was cheated out of the nomination, and
Tilden out of the election, and SO both must be
run this year for vindication to spite the Hayes
crowd"

THE Chicago Inter- Ocean has been looking
over the situation in Ohio, and is candid
enough to admit that the general Republican
claim that ''any Republican can carry Ohio"
is too loosely made, and that depending on
Democratic blunders to give the Republicans
Ohio in October had better be abandoned at
once and forever. The result in Ohio in
October virtually decides the presidency, so
far as the Republicans are concerned, accord
ing to the hater-Ocea,a's view, and it does not
anticipate that any action of
the Democratic legislature will
cost the party any votes, but that
every man who has ever voted the Demo-
cratic ticket will come up and do so at the
October election. After looking the situa-
ton square in the face the Chicago paper
says, sit is sheer nonsense and a perversion
of the truth for any man to say that the Re-
publicans have sure thing in Ohio this year,
and it should not be INDUCED in" The
diagnosis is quite correct.
