THE PENALTY OF A DRUNK.

4 Man Overturns Lamp And Several
Hotels Burn TO- the Ground With
the Loss OF Several Lives.
BRADFORD, Pa, March 6.-At about 4:30
this morning fire broke out in the Dunkirk
house on Chestnut street, this city. The
hotel was three-atory wooden building and
tbs flames spread rapidly, soon eomnunieat-
ing to another hotel, the Stone house ad-
Joining, thence to Chinese laundry and
Photographic gallery on one side and Stone
house on the other, all of which were
destroyed. Owing to the early hour the fire
department was slow in getting to the spot
ahd the FIRE had fair start befote their ar
rival and the frelnen had several frozen
hydrants to contend with, consequently it
may be thought fortunate that the flames did
not spread further It seems a boarder in
the Dunkirk house named Barney Freel
entered his room at late hour
considerably the worse for liquor.
The fire originated in the room and
was caused by an ovorturnee lamp for which
earelessness Freel paid with his life. His
eharred remains were found this morning in
the ruins One other boarder, ]. L. Martin,
also persisted in the flames. His body,
burned to crisp, was e8humed from the de-
bris this morning. No other bodies have
been found. Freel, by occupation butcher,
was widower aged forty=five. and formerly
Lived in Canada; Martin, d bartender; but
lately arrived from Ireland where his rela-
tives reside. Henry Mayer; who was sick in
the house; was removed, but was badly
burned It is feared his injuries will prove
fatal. o: H. Hitler, of Bunkirk, N. Y, was
burned about the head and back. Dan
Kearns was slightly burned. There were
about forty boarders in the Dunkirk house at
the time and it seems miraculous that no
! lives were lost AS the flames spread with
such rapidity none of the boarders had even
time to save their clothes. One man jump
| ing from his window left his gold watch be-
hind him. The watch was afterward found
among the ruins uninjured and still running.
The boarders in the Stone house having
more time all escaped. The loss will reach
$15 900 with but little insurance.

THE BACKBONE RAILROAD.

Lively Time Ahead i'm the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Great indigna-
ton is expressed in many quarters that Pres
ident Arthur, on the last day but one of his
administration, directed that the patents
should issue for the Backbone land grant"
in Louisiana It was first thought that the
patents were issued by the direction of the
Interior department., and that department
yesterday was the subject of very severe criti-
cism. II is now ascertained, however that
the patents were issued by the express direc-
ton of President Arthur.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Van Vyck offered
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Interior be
directed to inform the Senate whether patents
have been issued for the land granted in 1871 to
the New Orleans Baton Rouge and Vicksburg.

The resolution went over on objection by
Mr.. Edmunds.
A lively debate is looked for when the req
CLINTON is reached for discussion and action.
Senator Teller feels that an attack has been
made upon the integrity of his own official
action as member of the late administration
and has declared his intention of making
sncb a defense as will leave no doubt of the
propriety of the act in question or of his in
dignation Senator Van Wyck is firmly
co3yipced that the public interest demands
sn exclamation of the issuance of patents to
the Backbone company The subject will
probably come up on Monday next.
