Narrow Escape of the Occupants From u
Burning House.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-A fire occurred
early this morning at the three.story
bakery and dwelling Of Otto Wrangle at
the northeast corner OF Seventeenth and
Brown streets, which, but for the vigilance
OF police officer, would have resulted in
great loss Of lie. The second-story bed
rooms Of the building arc occupied by Mr..
Wrancle, his wife, their two small chill
dren, Lizzie Sinker, a servant, John

floor John Dibler and his wife and child
slept.
It was 2 o'clock in the morning when
Policeman McCcart, of the Ninth District,
discovered clouds Of smoke isBuirg from

ANovRL LAWSUIT.
Damages Asked by u Texas Widow for the
Murder Of Her Husband.

damages ASKED py u ke1nb "iuoW toF tho
Murder of Her Husband.
GALVESTON. TRxAs. Nov. S.-An i'm
portant damage suit was begun here yes
te1day in the United States Circuit Court
by the widow Of William Stewart Gibbs,
of Wharton, Texas, against Eugene N.
Brooks; prominent citixsn OF Wharton.
The plaintiff claims 100000 damages f3r
the assassination of her husband at the
hands OF Brooks. This is believed to be
the first instance in Texas where the
United States Court has been appealed tn
in such case. Both parties TO tho suit
arc wealthy and highly connected.
Gibbs was killed last April at Wharton.
His death was the 1esult Of an old feud
between the Brooks and Gibbs families.
In the summer 'cf 1884 this fend was at
white heat, and the entire community
took sides in behalf tf one family or tho
other. Clarence Brooks was then Sheriff
OF Wharton county. One day in the sum-
mer OF 1884 Gibbs and the two Brooks
brothers, Clarence and Eugene, fought
pitched battle in the streets Of Wharton.
Gibbs was one OF the best pistol shots in
Texas He sent bullet through Sheriff
Brooks's heart and another throug b the
breast OF Engene Brooks, very close TO the
heart, and was himself severely wounded.
Eugene and Gibbs both survived to meet
again.
Gibbs was indicted for killing Sheriff
Brooks, and when tho grand jury turned
the indictment into court the Judge or
dered Gibbs to be rearrested and placed
under $50 900 bonds. 1t was, while pro-
curing this bond on April "a that Gibbs
met bis death. As he passed out OF the
court house door to visit bondsman he
was met by Eugene Brooks.
"You need not look for bondsmen,"
said Brooks. "tt's l who require bail"
and he emptied both barrels OF shot gun
into Gibbs breast before the deputy sher-
iG could interfere.
Brooks gave bonds and was finally tried
for murder and acquitted.
Some OF the ablest lawyers in Texas are
engaged in the present case, which is al
ready attracting marked attention. The
suit will be tried at the coming term OF
the District Court.
Gibbs was a member OF an old and very
prominent Alabama family Of great wealth
before the rebellion. Barnett Gibbs, the
present Lieutenant. Governor OF Texas, is
member Of the same family.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. S-Reports are
coming in fairly, but are still incomplete.
The cutting Of tickets has been larger than
in any previous year. BisseIl, (Dem.) for
Senate, in many OF the wards ran
ahead Of the ticket enough, 1t is believed,
t, insure his election by small majority.
The Assembly returns are as yet very in
complete, but they indicate that the po.
litical complexion will be the sane as last
year excerpt in the Third district, which is
very close. Heads OF State tickets com.
pare favorably With the city exc-p. in
some Of the German warde, where Hill
runs behind. Carr's supporters gained
many votes for him in Irish wards.
Thirty four districts in this city give
Davenport 10 302, Carr 1881, Hill S,057,
Jones S,647. The stry districts are
coming in slowly, bnt they show gains for
Carr, while Hill holds his own.

BUFFALO, Nov. 3.-The weather is clear
aud cold. Shortly before s o'clock Presi-
dent Cleveland walked to the polling
place Of the First district, Eighth ward,
and cast his ballot for the straight Demo-
cratic ticket. He remained there a few
minutes chatting with acquaintance, aud
then returned to his former law Office.
He will probably leave at 5 p. NJ to-day
for Washington. At II o'clock only a
fair vote had been po!lei. The indica.
tons are that the Republicans will carry
the county for the State ticket, but the
Senatorial contest will bs close. The
municipal eli, c'ions are going Republican.
R9cHxsrER, Nov. 3-The weather Is
fair, but light vote is being polod. Fred
erick Cook, the Democratic candidate for
Secretary Of State, is ruuuing ahead Of his
tIckst. In nearly every district the vote
on the State ticket, with this exception, is
on strict party lines. The Prohibitionists
are working very hard, and will poll a
larger vote than they did last year. The

New YoRK remains in the Democratic

strong language:
Whatever may be thought or said out
Of the State, there is no New Yorker who
Is not July aware that to vote for Governor
Hill is to vote against reform, and i'm
mensely to strengthen the civil elements
Of his party against the President. In
no Democratic Convention has there been
an honest and hearty approval OF the
Presidents reform policy, and the real
Democratic enthusiasm everywhere has
been for the reform which consists merely
in replacing Republicans by Democrats.
In this situation every good citizen in
New York, Republican or Democrat,
who believes in administrative reform,
will desire TO snstain the Presi-
dent in his courageous stand for reform
against the baser forces OF his party.
There is no present way in which every
such citizen can so effectively serve the
good cause by voting for Mr.. Davenport
In his admirable letter Of acceptance hs
approves the summary OF Republican
opinion upon the vital questions OF the
tine, but nothing that he can soy can be
construed into sympathy with the whole
sale denunciation Of the President by the
Republican platform. Mr.. Davenport
is Republican, but he is also
a gentleman and sincere friend
ot EeteFm, and he speaks ot tue
President precisely as the l'residents IN
dependent friends have spoken ol him, as
exposed to the nlost bitter snd unsorupu'

For some months past young man
