Flames-What Might Have Been
Great Misfortune.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Fire WAS discovered
this morning in a lot of books aud records
stored under the roof of the House of Repre-

and soon extinguished the fire. 1t was con-

Made Until Next Winter
Other News.
HOT SPRINGS.
A Bill Before tho House For Its Leasfagito
Private Parties For a Term OF
Thirty Tears.

Special TO the Sentinel.
WAsHIEGToS, Jan. 26.-There is bill now
being pushed before the House Committee
on Public Lands which is regarded with
great deal of suspicion. 1t provides for the
leasing of Hot Springs property in Arkansas
for term OF thirty years. IT is said there is
lobby working in the interest of the
measure, and that parties who want the
lease are leaving nothing unturned to
secure q report on the bill. Should
1t be reported to the House with
fsvorble recommendation an effort will be
made 10 have it rushed through both
branches of Congress during the excitement
attending the last days OF the session.
Parties who have acquainted themselves
with the subject say, however, that the Gov.
ernment can do nc better than continue the
lease, for which the bill provides. II the
Government takes charge of the bath -bouse,
they say it can not furnish better
accommodations nor at lower rates. II is
sscertsined that the sharp competition has
brought prices down to reasonable profit,
and the officers at the Interior Department
favcr the proposition TO keep the manage
ment of the Springs in the hands of private
parties.
a good deal of opposition is offered to the
bill, and If ii comes before the House it is
not unlikely that 1t may be defeated, and
the spectacle Of the Government operating
both Houses will be presented before long.

FORCE or THE EXPLOSION IN TIE TOWER.
In the Council Chamber of the Tower OF

a quarter of an inch thick, and containing
armor, were shattered by the force Of the ex-

mite was placed is sixteen feet thick, not

NO INTERNAL MACHINE USED,
Not the slightest trace Of any mechanical
sppsTotus or of fuse has beeu found IN the
Tower or in the Parliament buildings. Tais
fact strengthens the opinion that no in

plosions, but thst the agency employed was

containing i've or six pounds being depos.

sTATENEST OF CONSTABLE COLE.
Com table Cole, who was terribly injured
IN his attempt to prevent the explosion at
Westminster Hall. made an important
statement this afternoon. He said when he
picked up the bundle on the steps leading to
the Crypt he noticed il was very heavy IN
proportion to its size. He determined 10
carry il outside of the building becsuse he
saw smoke Issuing from the bundle and be-
heving it % be some sort of an internal ma
chine, Just as he reached the top OF the
stairway ne saw an oily substance ooZing
from the bottom of uhe bundle. This stuff
burned his hands, and compelled him to
drop the bundle. He has no reccollec ton
of anything that happened after that.
This statement by Constable Cole
confirms the theory entertained by the police
that the chemical fuse was arranged in such
8 way that ii would burn through the cotton
plug inserted beta the outside and the
fulmipating substance. There is move
ment on foot to raise fnnd By popular sub.
scriptjons to reward Constable Cole for his
plucky effort TO avert the disaster.
The man arrested to-day on suspicion OF
being concerned in the outrages is still in
CUSTODY, but the police refuse al informa-
ton as TO his name or the reason for believ-
ing him guilty.

An Inquiry.

In August, 1888, there was a Char
ter of Incorporation obtained by sew
eral gentlemen, c~orporators of the JEFF
ferson County Agricultural and Me-
chanical Association. Some stock
was subscribed, and some efforts
made to procure stock enough to start
the association, but not enough inter
est was manifested at the time to JUS
tify a hope of success, so the whole
subject has remained dormant ever
since. Some of the friends of agri-
cultural progress desire to know if the
charter is forfeited, and hope by this
communication to draw out those who
know the status" of the enterprise.

Ed: Splrttof Jeferson:-The pic
mic held at Ripon, in Mr.. Wits
woods, on Thursday, June 18th, un-
der the auspices of the Public School,
was most enjoyable and quite a bril-
liant success. Nearly all the imme-
diate neighborhood were there, and
almost every scholar of the schoolw was
present. Perhaps a dozen came from
CharlestoYn, by invitation, and by
noonthe woods were filed with friends
all intent on a day of enjoyment
The feature of the day was the ar
rival of the Band, which, under the
intelligent leadership of Prof. j. H..
Noland, ably assisted by Mr.. Harrell.
and. some small but talented little.
boys, discoursed the most delightful
strains the entire day. In addition.
to the orchestra was an organ placed.
there for the occasion, on which
Miss Grace, daughter of Prof. No
land, was prevailed on to perform in
concert with the orchestra. No effort
was spared by the host and hostess,
Mr.. Al. Crittenden and Mrs. NeilI,
to insure the children and their guests
a pleasant time. A most excellent
dinner was served at 12:30P. NJ, to
which I a safely say all did ample
Justice. After dinner the boys took
to base ball-the larger folks, some
to croquet and the remainder to
pleasant strolls through the woods;
and so the pleasant afternoon was
quickly spent. About 6 o'clock the
guests began to dispense one by one,
until only a few intimate friends re-
NAMED. Prof. Noland, after receiv-
ing the thanks of the assembled
guests, took the train for Charlestown.
