Machias Has Narrow Escape from an
Extensive Fire.

MAcMIAs, Dec. 20.
A fire started at 10 o'clock, Saturday fore
noon in the Mschias Republican building,
owned by Charles o. Furbush, publisher and
proprietor Of the Republican. When the
alarm was given the mercury was below zero.
The fire department and steam mill force
pump were in few minutes throwing three
streams onto the flames. Clare's Hotel,
within twenty feet on one side, and an un-
occupied dwelling ten feet distant on the
other side, made the case desperate. BY
hard work the fire was kept in the Furbush
building and the whole structure with part of
the presses and much of the type and fixtures
were destroyed. Had the hotel taken fire,
the whole eastern section of the town, in
cluding the Eastern Hotel and Central street
church would have burned, The loss on the
building is $4,000, and on the presses, type
and fixtures $1,000. Insurance on the build
ing, $500, and on the type and fixtures,
$500 in the Home Insurance Company of
New York.

TRAVERSE, d. I

TRAVERSE, d. T., Dec. 20.
At l o'clock this morning an armed mob
of 100 men, mostly from Wilmont. a small
town in the southern part of the county,
attacked the court house in this place, the
county seat of Roberts county, breaking in
every door and removing the county safe.
Before making the attack, a strong guard of
armed men with Winchester rifles was sta
toned at the end of every street and no one
was permitted to enter or leave the town.
Not satisfied with the safe the mob attacked
snd carried of all the private property they
could find. An immense amount of prop
erty was destroyed. But few people were
stirring when the mob arrived A sheriff
attempted to stop the mob but was instantly
covered with dozen Winchesters. The peo-
pie not wishing to see bloodshed made no re-
sistance. Themob remained about an hour,
and then taking the safe and private property
left the place.
The inside of the court house was a per-
feet wreck Every man in the mob was un-
der the influence of liquor. A U. S. mail
carrier was stopped and the mail overhauled
The z. o. department has been notified of
the outrage. The safe contained no valuable
records or papers. The mob destroyed a
large number of papers, among which were
several chattel mortgages. All other county
records are safe, the county clerk having re-
moved them from the court house. Notice
has been posted on the court house door to
the effect chat the records are safe and that
business will be transacted as usual.
The sheriff tried to secure the papers but
has been restrained by the mob. runner
from Wilmont just arrived here, says that
Wilmont is enraged at finding the safe empty
and the mob is marching on Traverse. The
men are preparing to resist them as fast as
possible. The mob threatens to burn the
town and hang all the county officers and
have the records if they have to kill half the
people in town. The Traverse men will de-
fend the town to the last. Gov. Pierce has
been telegraphed to for troops; nothing but
their arrival some time tonight will save
bloodshed. Men from all parts of the county
are coming to the county seat to protect the
records
The facts are as follows At the late cleo
tion, Wilmont had majority of the votes
cast for county seat but on account of bal
lot box stuffing and intimidation, the canvass
ing board rejected towns thus giving Trav-
erse majority. A mandamus was served
on the board, but after an argument before
Judge Smith it was quashed. A second writ
was served on the board in which Traverse
won. Wilmont then tried to take possession
by force. y

in this fight of course than appears on the
surface. 1t is not merely Commissioner
Thompson who is interested in the result;
there is TO be Governor nominated and elect
ed next fall, and now that Tammany is so
shorn of power and patronage, the political
control of this city is in the hands of the
county democracy. The Public Works de-
psrtment has an enormous patronage, and the
control of all the patronage in that and other
departments must be maintained intact. The
Governorship depends largely on this muni-
cipal struggle, and it NAV yet play an impor-
tant part in the new national administration.
