Tug letters which passed between Fish
and Ward, as they come out in the trial,
show the life OF torture that Fish led
when the erd was nearing. Daily, hourly,
he besought Ward to raise money, point
ed out the glaring debtor side OF the ac-
count, and begged him to come to the
rescue.
It was ugly business they were engaged
in, and If they had escaped detection and
grown iabulously rich by their operations,
that would not have repaid Fish for those
days Of agony, for his letters show that his
ssnsibilities were not dead. 1t does not
appear that Ward had any feeling in the
matter. All he wanted was money, and
he displayed no desire to appear to be
better than he was. A man has fallen
very low when he strikes that level. D

Dwelling House.


Dwelling House.
New YoRx, Oct. 2S.-Ahorrible story OF
fire and loss OF life comes from Hobart
Delaware county, this morning, which is
best told in the words Of Martha Jubeck,
a twelve-year old girl, who gave the fol-
lowing details to the coroner's jury:
"The duy before the fire." she said, "my
mother, and the baby and myself were up
on the hill. Mother laid baby on the
ground, and piled lot of dry brush
together. Sho took some matches out OF
her pocket, aud said she Intended TO barn
baby aud herself on the brush pile, and
that il I wanted to so with them to
heaven che would put Oh more brush, and
| could lay doSn and burn, too. l
snatchei the matches out OF mothers
hand and took the baby up IN my arms,
and would not let mother have him, and
coaxed her 10 go home with me.
Oa the morning OF the fire woke up
hearing baby cry. The house was all
smoky. Jumped out OF bed and called 10
mother. She did not answer me. I ran
to her door, and 1t was locked. l could
hear her soothing baby and crying. ran
back to my room and walked my little
brothers, and dressed myself quickly. l
then started to get them out oil the house,
as knew 1t must be on FIRE. When got
them tn the fronbdoor found that bar

that It could not be opened. / heard fire
cracking. and was almost choked with
smoke. do not know how ever moved

enough TO open the door so we could get
out.
When I got my brothers out OF doors l
ran to a window inmy mothers room and
looked in. Icould hear baby screaming.
The room was black with smoke and
mother was lying on the floor. She had
frewood piled around her like a birds
nest. II was blazing high. Itwas go awful
that think must have gone crazy, for l
don't remember anything more. When

NEw York, Oct 2S.-The Horid's Wash
ipgton special says that Nine. Jarocks,
a grand.nirco OF Pulaski, the Polish patriot
who fought under Washington, has been
dismissed from the position OF clerk in the
War Department. She was appointed by
President Arthur, at the solicitation OF
Ex-Governor Curtin. When tho latter was
Minister to Russia she was bsnished to
Siberia in 1862 for taking part in the Pol
ish insurrection, but through Minister
Curtin's efforts she was released and
came to America. Though appointed un-
der a Republican administration, she
claims to be q Democrat, and to have
contributed to the campaign fund on that
side. No reason is assigned for her dis.
misSal. She is penniless, and the World
comments severely on this treatment Of a
descendant OF the generous Pulaski, who
refused the large grant Of land made by
Congress after the Revolution in recogni-
lion OF his services to America.

Alarm OF the buutDphA over tho btSSHl'
tive Outlook.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S-The Virginia
B,urbons are desperately alarmed about
the result OF the election in that State
next Tuesday. Canvassers have been at
work to-day among the Democratic en-
ployes at the Capitol and in the depart
ments 10 raise money, and the result has
been contributions aggregating about $500,
which will be forwarded 10 Chairman Bar.
bour tomorrow. A special correspondent
OF the Star telegraph5 that paper from
Richmond tonight rs follows:
"The question is no longer whether Bar.
bour, Daniel or dark horse shall succeed
Senator Malone. 1t ia Malone now
against the Democratic field, and no longer
a field OF Democrats saddling Rp for q race
among themselves. The Star correspond.
ent's information in this mater comes
alone from Democratic politicians, who,
while claiming Tho election cf Lee by q
majority ranging from G,0J0 to 10000, de-
clare that the q sht on the Legislature has
shifted from a political conflict proper to
an issue Of opposing purses in certain
close counties where tho most money
90 applied as to do the most good will
win, No such opsn talk Of the u5s Of
money to bring out voters OF both races
in certain districts, Democratic as well as
Republican,, was ever before heard Cf in
this State. Particulars, however, cannot
now be given, Malone, 1t is feared by
the Democrats, has received from various
sources at the North great deal Of money,

And out the amount The Senator is hiS

assistants sharing his campaign secrets,

count outside OF the State"
The abatement about bribery OF voters
by the Republican State Committee are
utterly false. General Malone has re.
ceiyed much less money from outside the
State than Is generally supposed by The
Bourbon Managers. Every dollar that he
has received has been expended in per.
fecting the organization in the different
precincts OF the State. The purchase oil

blythe BourhoDs, who have attempted to
brbe colored mon by the payment ol
money and making promises that will not
be fulfilled.
