JERSEY CITY, December 30.-Fire
was discovered early this morning in
the crude-oil department Of Lombard,
Ayres d Co.'S establishment at Con-
stable Hook. The flames were soon
extiDguished, but several hours later
broke out anew in the same place,
spreading rapidly and destroying the
house by an explosion. A large nap
tha.tank also exploded soon after with
great force and violence. The burning
oil ran in the creek and set fire to the
dock OH Kill Won kull, also burning
the ties Of a railroad running through
the yard. The Bayonne fire depart
ment extinguished the flames, but not
until a coal and an acid-barge had
been partially destroyed. The damage
is estimated between 81, 900 and $20,-
600.
During the fire Edward johnson,
aged fifty-three years, Russian, was
horribly burned. lie is captain Of q
schooner. a small boat belonging to
the schooner. which was lying near the
dock, went adrift. and Johnson plunged
in after it. A large quantity Of oil which
had escaped from the tank upon the
water suddenly became ignited. and
Johnson was enyeloped in the flames.

LANCASTER, December 30.-John
Erb Lefevre, sixteen-year-old boy,
was arrested in Eden township to-day
for burglary. About O'Clock last eve
ming, while the men employed at the
mill of Christian W. Shultz, in Ca
margo. were at their suppers, the mill
was entered and the safe broken into.
The burglary was discovered, and in
yestigation revealed the fact that $50
in money and papers valued at about
$4,000 had been stolen. The boy was
arrested, and when charged with the
crime confessed having committed it.
He says he forced open the inner door
of the safe with an iron bar, and was
induced TO commit the robbery by three
men who promised him two watches for
the job, but be refuses to give their
names, as he is afraid they will kill
him,

Wanderers Arrested and Jailed.


SHOALS, IND., December 30.-John
b, Archer, Charged with the murder Of
John b. Bunch, four years ago, was
captured by posse of twelve men at
the farm ofLeroy Boyd, five miles south
Of Vincennes, and brought to Martin
county jail on Tuesday by Sheriff
Padgett. David Craine, another of the
gang, has been arrested here and lodged
in Jail. Both men state that Bunch was
killed by the Archer gang in July,
1882, because he had aided farm
hand named Marley in escaping from
the country.
Marley, it appears, had killed one OF
the Archers in a row, and when Marley
got away the Archers set to work to
kill Farmer Bunch for aiding him to es-
cape from their clutches. Craine has
acknowledged that the Archers COM
PEELED him to 90 to Bunch's house and
decoy him out. Then, Craine says,
the gang ordered him 20 60 home, which
he did, and they killed Bunch and
threw his body into the river. John
Archer says he was placed on watch
while the others did the killing. 1t was
the most cold-blooded murder ever
committed in this county. A large
crowd met Archer on the arrival Of the
train, and loud cries Of :" Hang him ="
were heard on all sides. Archer and
Craine are very badly frightened, and
fear they will be lynched.

CAIRO, December 30.-A dispatch
from kosch says Lieutenant CT neral
Stephenson. commander Of the British
forces in Egypt, who recently arrived
here with large relnforcements, attack
ed the rebels who had been menacing
the garrison several weeks. A three
hours fight ensued, resulting in the
British troops capturing GiniSs, a vii
lage near Kosch. The rebels were
completely routed. The cavalry is
pursuing the enemy. Two guns and
twenty banners were captured. The
English lost one officer killed and twen-
ty-one wounded. The Egyptian allies
ofthe British lost SIX killed and thirteen
wounded.
\ recent report stated the Arabs at
Giniss and Abai numbered 1000,
Of whom 100 were riilemen. They
had six guns and plenty Of ammunition.
The guns were placed in earthworks,
and the line Of lire was direct on the
Nile, SO as to oppose the passage Of a
steamer.
Add ell Kadir Pasha, Minister of War,
formerly Governor of SOudan, in a re-
cent conversation on the Egyptian
question, said " If the English retire
on Wady IIalla they must retire on
AssOuan, and if on Assouan, then on
Cairo. Every pace in advance gives
the English a hundred friends; every
pace in retiring gives them two hundred
enemies-half in front, half in the
rear. England may gain victory after
victory, but if they are followed by
retreat the English Government has
uselessly wasted blood. There is not
one in ten who would not believe in
highlands defeat. say that retire
ment now would be fatal"
When asked whether the question
was insoluble he replied No; it re-
quires TWO things-iirst, fixed policy
to crush the rebellion secondly, money.
Let England attack the enemy in force.
and after the latter's defeat open nego-
nations with native emissaries and
money. England could detach soldiers
no are now the backbone Of rebellion.
and also some tribes who are always
Jealous of each oihet." When asked
what sum would be required. the Min
ister said : Perhaps e2.000,o00, but
this policy would be the cheapest in the
long run"
CAIRO. December 30.-The Arabs
at Koshey fought stubbornly. Five
emirs were killed. Twenty dead Arabs
were found in one house.

BosToN, December 30.-The ban
quet given by the Boston Merchants
Association, at which several distin-
guished Senators and Representatives of
the United States were guests, was a
notable event in the club-history Of
Boston. 1t was held in the spacious
banquet hall of the Hotel Vendome,
which was beautifully decorated with
bunting and aowers. Plates were laid
for over 800. At the head of the table
sat President Wood, Of the Merchants
Association, who acted as chairman.
On his right were Governor Robinson,
Senator'S Edmunds, Allison, and Dawes;
Ex-Governor Rice, of Massachusetts,,
and Congressman j. Randolph Tucker,
Of Virginia. On his left Mayor o Brien,
OF Boston Senator'S Eyarts, Hoar. aud
FRYE, Jonathan Chace, Congressman
Benjamin Butterworth, Of Ohio Oliver
Ames, and John d. Long. The other
tables were filed with Boston's repre-
sentative businessmen with a copious
spriikling OF professional gentlemen
and others well known in ma
tional and State politics and jour-
nalism. Among these were Leo
pold Morse, Charles Levi Woodbury.,

The dinner itself, which was a mas
terpiece Of culinary art, occupied some
four hours postprandial exercises

sued to the guests who were expected
to speak nominally confined them to
"tbe leading national issues Of the
day. but as the night wore on there
was more or less struggling from the
main points until, near the end,
some Of the speakers ignored
one or more Of the "vital"
issues altogether, and confined them
selves to what was evidently their
strongest point. Those who expected
from the most eminent gentlemen pre-
sent a straightforward expression Of
remedies to be applied TO existing dis
orders Of things were somewhat dis
appointed. The difcussion partook
largely Of the ms Lure Of con-
gressional debate, each man press
ing his own opinions forcibly
enough, but without common agree
mept upon the measures for the amelio-
ration Of the eyls inyeighed against. A
vein Of humor ran through ell Of the
speeches. and It was evident that most
Of the distinguished orators did not
consider the occasion as one upon which
decisive measures could be agreed upon.

The Polish Troubles I'm Detroit.

DETROIT, MICH. December 30
There was no trouble at the Polish
quarter this morning. The police ex-
pected an outbreak, and were prepared
for it, but had no work to do. St.
Wenceslas Catholic church is a congre-
CATION presided over by Father Kormer,
and consists almost entirely Of Hunga-
rians. During the troubles at St. AL
bertus he advised the people to obey
the bishop whenever they asked his ad-
vice. The consequence is that Father
Kolasinski's friends have been threat
eniDg the Hungarian priest, and it looks
as if another congregation was about to
be involved in the quarrel.

LONDON, December 30.--Esrl Cow
per, who was Lord Lieutenant Of Ire
land from May 5, 1880, until April %,
1882, under the Gladstone Administrs-
ton, has written to the Times in regard
to the Irish question. Earl Cowper
says: " home-rule for its own sake is
not desired by the Irish. Any one can
see by the perusal Of the Irish newspa-
pers published during my own term Of
office in Ireland that they do not reveal
single mention Of home rule scheme,
but are solely involved in discussing
the question Of rents. The late
Isaac Butt, who may be called
the originator Of the national and home
rule movement, and William Shaw, ex-
member Of Parliament for the city of
Limerick, who was member OF the
Home-Rule League, but withdrew from
that body in December, 1881, failed to
attach the Irish people to their schemes,
and Parnell will meet with the same
fate, except in an appeal to their pock-
cts. The strike against the payment Of
rents will soon be a bigger difficulty
for the Government to deal with than
was ever the home-rule question, and
must eventually interfere with the i'm
perial interests
