A DETROIT BLAZE.

A Fire at Detroit Does Damage to the Ex.
tent of 93OO,OOO.
DETROIT, December 4.-Yesterday NOM
ing at six o'clock fire broke out in the stock
room of the Barnum wire works. There
was delay of fully ten minutes before an
alarm could be turned In, and the fire
spread with great rapidity. Three alarms
were sent in, and half dozen engines
were called, but the whole building was a
mass of flame before they arrived. A gale
of wind from the west famed the flames
into a fury, huge cinders were hurled high
into the air and carried them blocks away,
and for a time it seemed that the
whole neighborhood was doomed. The
efforts Of the fire department were de-
voted chiefly to saving property in the
neighborhOOd, it being impossible to save
the wire works. Notwithstanding the hard
work of the firemen, the fire spread to
Howard street, and the men were COM
PEELED to retreat before the flames with
scOrched hands and faces burned. The
heat was intense. and set fire to three
double, twO-stOry houses, which were about
half consumed before the firemen could get
TO work on them. The occupants were
able TO move most of their furniture tn a
place Of safety. These houses were valued
at $4,000; insured for $4,000. After the
fire in the wire works had burned for sOme
hours the walls began to fall, and the fire
men had many narrow escapes. The works
were an almost entire loss. Building,
valued at $4,000; stock, $50, 600. and

UNHAPPY SPAIN.

Threatened With Revolution from Two
sid~s-Ouccn Chriatina = Woman Of Grit.
LONDON, December 5.-Madrid dis.
patches received last night state that Ruiz
Gorilla. the Republican agitator, will arrive
at Barcelona within few days. and stimuli
taneOus with his arrival revolutionary
outbreak is expected to occur In Cadiz.
That Gorilla, over whom . sentence Of
death IL pending In Spain, should boldly
appear upon Spanish soil and permit his
coming TO be heralded in advance, would
indicate that the revolutionary plans. which
he is known to have been Matching in
France, are well matured. 1t il known
that he has lately sent from London and
Paris large amount Of money to his adj
herents in Spain, and that large guam.
titles of arms and ammunition
have been smuggled across the Pyrunees.
Probably no revolutionary movement will
be made by Dan Carlos until after the nc.
couchMent of Queen Christina. Should the
pOsthumOus child be boy Don Carlos will
have no excuse for seeking to Overthr'rv the
present dynasty. II tie child is a girl he
will make the same pretenses he did when
he made war against Queen Isabella. Senior
Gorilla is being urged BY the friends Of Re
pub!icanism outside of Spain to defer action
until Don Carlos moves. The Sagasta Gov
eminent, they believe. would be unable to
crush two simultaneous outbreaks. They
argue that a p'ebiscite would result In favor
Of Republic by an overwhelming ma
jOrity. There is n vast discrepancy be-
tween the telegraphic press dispatches
iol1~ taf lN<.is.
mitted and private mall advices. The tele-
graphic reports give everything rOseate
hue, but private letters tell Of the whole
country being in q state of excitement.
That order will be maintained for another
fortnight nobody believes Ex-Queen
Isabella disclaims any desire to be the Re.
gent. obviously knowing that she could not
retain that post but she does aspire to the
control Of Queen Christina. The latter has
will OF her own, and will protect her
children's rights to the utmost.

Meeting OF the Kansas State Temperance
Committee-Its Action.
LAWRENCE, KAN, December 2-The
State Central COMMITTEES of the Prohibition
party held q meeting In this city yesterday
afternoon and evening" Ex-Governor ST.
John was present and spoke. He claimed
the result of the recent elections In Ohio
and New York as well as those in the
South show that temperance people are in
favor of third party. A series Of resOlu-
tons denOuncing the Republican party
leaders was passed, and especially the at
tempts that are being made to close saloons
In the Missouri River towns, claiming that
it is only done for effect and the officers
and party leaders are not in favor
Of prohibition. At the close OF the
meeting subscription paper was passed
and some $500 subscribed for the purpose
of at once inaugurating vigorous CAIN
paign for 1856. The plan as proposed is to
send speakers and lecturers t. every town
in the State. The leaders have many surg.
gestiOns to make in regard to the present
proiibitory law, and will ask for number
of changes at the special session Of the
Legislature. They also announce that next
fall they will place q full State and Con-
greSsiOllal ticket in the field.

tiately hurled themselves upon the dar.
ing young man, upon which the other
skept:cs took a hand in the affair, and for
a while pandemonium reigned with the
spirit believers and unbelievers rolling
ON the floor of the dimly lighted room.
The lights were at length turned up,
when, to the amazement of the unbe-
lieving circle, the materialized spirit
proved to be the medium in an exceed
ingly airy attire, while the clothing out OF
which he had slipped remained sewed to
the chair. The indignation was great
among the Spiritualists as well as others,
and tar and feathers were strongly talked
of for time, but finally cooler judgment
prevailed and warrant was sworn out
for Wynlan's arrest for obtaining money
under false pretcnses. A hearing was
had before Justice Baird, Wyman plead
ing guilty, and, in default of bail, was
rcmanIed to the County Jail, to await
the action of the Grand Jury.
