TERRIBLE FIRE.
Tenement HOnse-Others Supposed
to be in the Smoking Pile.

LONDON, Dec. 13.
At Plymouth today tenement house or
Love street, in low, squalid neighborhood,
took fire and a terrible calamity resulted.
The flames burned rapidly and when at last
subdued IL human bodies were found among
the ruins Two others are missing, and in
all probability they too have been burned to
death. One victim was dashed to pieces by
jumping from high window. Several of
the occupants of the burning building, in
their fright, ignored the fire escapes and,
throwing bedding TO the pavement, jumped
from the windows. A number of these had
legs and arms broken by the fearful leap. A
narrowing incident Of the calamity was the
appearance of youth named Bickford who,
with his little sister 10 bis arms, hung from q
window some minutes, until the flames sur
surrounded him and caused him to lose his
hold and fall to the ground. He had both
legs fractured, and the child was seriously
injured. The intensity of the flames gave
the building the appearance of fiery furnace,
but this did not deter the fremen, many of
whom entered the house and, by heroic strug,
giles succeeded in rescuing several persons.

THE OHIO LEGISLATURE.
rhe Republican Majority Three on Joint
Ballot.
New YORK, Dec, |


A SPECIAL from Columbus, o., says: The
Judges of the Supreme court were in consul
tation all yesterday on the mandamus case
regarding the elections in Hamilton county.
Deputy Clerk Slocum of the court said "The
court has agreed on decision in all the man
damus cases from Cincinnati, and this deci-
sion will be formally announced from the
bench to-day In the mandamus case brought
by the Governor to compel Clerk Dalton to
make his returns at once, the court agree
unanimously to grant the writ, and ! have
telegraphed him the mandate. In the man
damus case brought to compel Clerk Dalton
to issue the certificates of election to the
candidates shown to have majorities by the
returns presented to him, the court also grants
the writ, but not unanimously. Judge John
son. the only republican judge on the bench
since Judge McIlvaine. is too sick to be pre-
sent, dissenting. This reverses the decision
of the circuit court of Hamilton county,
which ordered the clerk to issue the certifi-
Gates to the republican candidates for senators
and representatives from Hamilton county.
and gives the certificates to the tour demo-
cratic senators and ten democratic representa-
tives. According to this the legislature of
Ohio will stand three democratic majority in
the Senate and six republican majority in the
House, or republican majority on joint bal
lot of three.

Adultery-A Statement by HoA. NJ. r.
Norton. A0
RnsToN. Dee IL.

DOSToN, bSC- AZ.
Rev. w. w. Downs, against whom an in
dictment was found yesterday by the grand
iury for adultery, preached to large au-
dience this evening in Mechanics Hall. At
the close of his remarks he introduced Hon.
Marcus p. Norton, who made statement
that syndicate of Boston lawyers had been
formed for the defence of Downs in his forth
coming trial, and that the active counsel for
the defence would be Hon. Roscoe Conkling
and Benz f. Butler. Norton bitterly denounc-
ed the grand jury's action as having been
brought about by fraud and perjury, and de-
livered TRADE against the churches. He
said it was now proposed to uncover the vol.
canoes of corruption in two places called
churches in the city, and the result would be
the greatest sensation ever known in Boston.
In explanation of the above statement it
should be stated that Norton has recently
been under treatment in the Insane Asylum,
having been victim of the opium habit.

reception on his campaigning tour In Scotland
it would appear that he has lost none of his old
time popularity and influence. His greeting
at Edinburgh yesterday is described as "un-
equaled In the history Of England" for its
warmth Of welcome. 1t seems, moreover, that
the veteran statesman still retains his wonted
powers, Is he made a long and forcible speech
in which he outlined more clearly than had
been done by any of the other party leaders the
main issues of the campaign.

The new civil service commission starts off
sensibly by effecting organization in the
ordinary American way by electing officers. 1t
was one of the crotchets of the old board that
all the members were on an official equality.
So far as presiding officer became necessary
in their deliberations, the commissioners filled
fireplace in turn. This was clumsy plan, and
the new board do well to discard it.
In other respects, the new commission show
an inclination to remodel their rules in the
light of experience so to meet all legitimate
objections 10 the civil service law. And ii is by
such changes of detail rather than by revolu-
fionary methods of repeal that the operations
OF the commission will be affected. Even the
New York Sun, which may be relied on to fight
the new law for all it is worth confessed yester-
day that it was idle to talk about repeal of the
Pendleton law in view of the fact that the
Senate and the President would be sure to
oppose any such efforts.
