About two o'clock this morning the family
of B. o. Elitritz were awakened by the pierc-
ing screams Of women coming from the house
of a neighbor, Mr.. n G. Blazer, No. l44
South Yellow Springs street. Mr.. Elifritz is
a veteran fireman and ex-"Rover," and with
out waiting to see that his hair vas parted in
the right place, dashed out of his own and
into the Blazer residence. The house was
full of dense smoke, and In the sitting-room
the sofa aud castings of a double door by
which it stood were just breaking into blaze
and were fast being consumed. The hydrsut
was found to be frozen, and as the cistern
on the premises was about empty, there
was nothing for it but TO carry the
burning piece of furniture aud its
burden of clothing out of doors,
which young George Blazer and Mr.. Elifritz
proceeded TO do, both burning their HANDS in
the operation, Blszer'sqmte severely. In five
minutes more the whole house would have
been in flames. As it is the loss is placed at
about $3.50, as both Mrs blazer and George
lose valuable clothing, lett lying on the sofa
last night. Insurance is iu Showers's agency.
1t is supposed ihs, n friction match in a coat
or vest pocket ignited when the garment was
thrown upon the sofa last night and that the
FIRE smouldered in the clothing until toward
morning. The affair illustrates the utility of
the district telegraph. Had there been a
signal box in the house the engines could
have been called to the spot in much less
time than was required to arouse the neigh

by the jury on the first trial on one OF
the indictments, but having been granted
a new hearing he was acquitted on the
second trial In the meantime he was
tried and acquitted on the trial OF the

A Cheeky -snonndral-

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Dec. %. -Ilformation
comes from Clinton, Mo, that Silas Il.
Cheek, a prominent real estate loan agent
of that place, is a defaulter for over
800, 1000. The utmost confidence was
placed in his integrity until recently. and
the banks had gwen him credit lar btyond
his means and honored his drafts for large
mounts About two weeks ago T. G.
Nichols, Of Bridgeport, Conn, arrived at
Clinton 10 look after a mortgage on prop
erty belonging to Orion B. Jones. He
discovered that the name on the mortgage
was ictitions and the mortgage a forgery.
Cheek had forged the name OF the re
corder to a bogus mortgage and had de-
frauded him out of $1,000. To save
himself Cheek gave a deed OF trust on
his property TOR the amount. and the
same day gave another deed of trust to
save friends who had advanced b m
money. Then he left for Canada. and
has not been heard from since.
His manner of obtaining IN ney
was to forge names to bogus deeds of | Is
and imprint the recorders seal upon tie
documents, which he could easily do as
be had access to the recorder Office a |
times. The deeds thus appearing all
right he had no trouble in obtsing money
on them, and as these papers are not re-
corded it is impossible to tell who are de-
frauded, but a number Of parties have
been heard from.
Cheek is 80 years old, married, and his
wife now lying at the point of death, but
does not know her husbands wrong do
ings. He owned property worth about
$4,000, which has been attached by
creditors but no other legal action has
been taken. His books show that he has
loaned sl7l 900 for eastern parties. In
his desk the following was found: Il am
a thief, scoundrel, knave and liar.
Signed SILAs E. CHEEK.

Fountains Command Ambushed.

Fountains Command Ambushed.
FL PAso, Tex, Dec. 25,-Parties ar
rived this evening from Silver City, New
Mexico, bearing additional particulars of
the disastrous surprise of the regular
troops near Alma on Saturday, bv a baud
of Apache guerrillas. Two off and
four trooper we're killed outright, and
two officers were dangerously wounded.
The detachment comprised thirty.fve
men all told, being a portion of troop Q
of the sth cavalry, stationed regular
ly at San Antonio. They were part of
Fountains command. and were marching
quietly through the rocky defle in the
mountains at about 2 in the afternoon,
when suddenly without a note of warn
ing the report OF a dozen rifles from the
rocks above echoed along the mountains.
The red devils had secreted themselves
behind high rocks and there laid in wait
for the unsuspecting soldiers. The at
tack was so sudden and so well directed
and timed that the troops were thrown
into a state of great disorder. Their
horses became u~nmanageable, and the
little cavalcade got away from the spot as
quickly as possible, leaving the dead be-
hind. Scarcely an Indian was to be seen,
and only the smoke of their rifles told
where the Apaches lay hidden. Such a
thing as dislodging them was clearly i'm
possible with 80 small a force. After
riding a short distance and caring for the
wounded the troops d%ismounted and
cautiously approached the spot where the
attack was made. Upon scaling the
mountains not an Indian was to be found.
They had not descended and mutilated
the bodies as is their custom, but imme
diately after the soldiers retreated took
the mountain trail going southwark to
Mexico.

val at Lake M%innehaha while the Loco
motive Engineers with their ladies danced
until early in the morning. The turkey
lunch at the Valley ranch drew away
quite a number OF seekers for fun, who
took part in the ball which followed.
The average citizen vino had wrestled
with u hearty dinner, betook himself to
his freside, and enjoyed the social pleas
ures Of life with his family and friends.
A number OF private receptions were in
progress last evening, which added to the
general round OF pleasures.
THE MFNNERcHoR.
The Cheyenne Mennerchor society
gave an entertainment at Kimme's hall
near lake Minnehaha last evening. The
affair was a marked success, both in at.
tendance, and the carrying out of the very
excellent programme provided by the
committee of arrangements. Messrs.
Buechner, Folk, Hoffman, Miller and
Olmstedt The Christmas tree attractions
were drawn by lot, and the lucky fellows
who drew the prizes were happy as big
sunaowers. The city orchestra furnished
free music for the occasion and the upper
provided by Mr.. Kimme was discussed
with evident appreciation by those who
had recovered from their Christmas
dinner.

Shortly after 8 o'clock the strains of
one Of Strauss beautiful waltzes set the
feet of the dancers in motion, and the
fourth annual ball of Cheyenne division,

mittee: Samuel Sterly, F. A. Post, Ellis

and A. Heenan, who contributed their
share to make this occasion one of enjoy
ment. That it was a success may be in
fcrred from the fact that over 300 tickets
were sold, sixty of them at the door.
There were over 200 couples on the floor
at one time. taxing the capacity of the
hall to its utmost. The ball netred the

Silver Coinage Secure.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 25.-The National
Republican tomorrow will give as the re-
suit OF an exhaustive enquiry concerning
future decisions in tie house of represen-
tatives regarding unlimited suspension Of
the silver coinage, a table showing l43
Democrats and fity-two Republicans hat
are against the suspension, and thirty
nine Democrats and ninety one Republi-
cans hat favor it. The noticeable feature
in connection with the matter is the d.
vision of members upon sectional lines.
The West and South are practically a
unit for coinage, while the East and mid
die states appear to be almost solidly in
favor of suspension.
