ABOUT o'clock Monday night the
town was alarmed by the ringing of a
fire bell. when it was found that j. H.
Abrams house was on fire. A large
crowd soon gathered and in about fifteen
minutes the fire was brought under
control. 1t is not yet known how the
fire originated. In the house at the
time were Nellie and Henry Vaughn
with two younger children of Mr..
Vaughn. As soon as the fire was dis
covered up stairs Nellie sent Henry to
ring the church bell and started herself
down the street to give the alarm. Thus,
in short time. crowd was on the
scene. The fire had made considerable
headway and the upper part ofthe house
was full Of smoke. Waite. was thrown
in from pals, but the best execution
was done by Mack Cavileer and Cyrus
Strong. each having force pump, which
suggests the idea that force-pumps
may be very useful in the absence of
better apparatus for extinguishing fires.
Considerable damage was done to the
house. One bedstead was destroyed
and considerable bedding and winter
clothing which could not be got at OH
account of the dense smoke. Nellie
Vaughn showed great presence of mind
for a girl - years old. Instead of getting
frantic she coolly decided what was best
to be done, dispatching her brother to
ring the bell and going herself to alarm
others.

A very extraordinary story comes from

which justice is sometimes defeated by the
abuse OF the privilege of appeals. A Mrs.

husband and sentenced to Imprisonment for
life, but somehow the Supreme Court grant
ed her new trial, and she was released on
bail. She has improved the delay by marry
ing the principal witness against her, and
thus rendering him incompetent to testify.

called up again, and there is no talk of

one Of the most remarkahle eo,.aicls h.

One of the most remarkable conflicts be-
tween capital and labor has just been
brought to close. The great Hooking
Valley strike, begun ten months ago, has at
last resulted in an apparent victory for cap
ital. The latest reports from that region
say that the laborers are now seeking work
on almost any terms. The strikers long ago
exhausted their own resources and for some
time have been dependent upon outside
assistance. But the recent general cut in
wages has compelled the workingmen in all
mines to carefully husband their own small
incomes, so that any more contributions to
the Hooking Valley miners were entirely out
of the question. If but small part of the
energy wasted in the fight had been spent in
efforts to bring about an equitable COM

A clause suspendlng tho silver coinage law
has been attached to the sundry civil appro-

tempt to pass the bill on Wednesday under
suspension of the rules. To suspend the
rules two-thirds vote is necessary. The
silver men feel confident that it cannot be
secured. If 1t be not when the bill comes
up in the regular way the silver men avow
that they will tilibuster even to the extent of
rendering an extra session necessary, unless
the silver clause is dropped. They feel conf
dent that the advocates of the clause will
suffer it to be stricken out rather than allow
an extra session, and they are probably
right. Senator Hoar is reported as saying
that the repeal of the silver coinage law
ought to be forced even if an extra session

The senatorial muddle in Oregon seems to
be very much worse than that in Illinois.
The Republicans have majority in the leg
islature, but to the present time have been
unable to unite on candidate. Early in
the session resolution was adopted that
the legislature adjourn after forty days, that
being the extent of the time for which they
could draw pay. The legislature rescinded
the resolution on Saturday, but the Demo-
Gratis left and went home in body. There
publlcans do not constitute quorum, two
thirds of the whole number being necessary
to do that under the constitution, and there
is some doubt whether an appointment by
the governor will be legal under the circum-
stances. He will probably appoint some
body, however, and leave TO the Senate the
settlement of the legality of the appoint
meut.

ATTEMPT TO HAZE A YALE PROFESS
soR.-A New Haven dispatch says an
incident outside of the routine of COM
mencement week took place night or
two ago on the Yale College campus. A
number of 1872 men sat under the elms
discussing the college days. 1t is alleged
three of the party were intoxicated. One
his friends that Prof. Frank Tarbell oc-
cupied quarters in the tower-room of the
Durfe Building. Prof. Tarbell was not
popular man. He taught Greek. To his
room in the tower the three 'S2 men made
their way. One carried long hemp rope,
the others bore horse-pistol and an axe.
When they reached the Professors door
they took council. It was decided that
the only pacific way they could get their
enemy to come out from his room was to
sing. They began with 1--WE will Hang
jeff Davis" but soon drifted into 1--WE
will bath Prof. Tarbell in the sewer"
The student bearing the axe cried to the
terrified Professor to come out and take
ducking like man. Then the student
struck the door heavy blow with the
axe. Some one inside was heard to strike
match, and with redoubled efforts Prof.
Tarbell's visitors laid the axe upon the
door, but it withstood their efforts, and
after knocking out panel and and finding
the key reGfGTssdi from the inside of the
lock they retreated. The college faculty
are making strenuous efforts to discover
the perpetrators. A New Yorker who
had been dropped from the class of '82 is
supposed to have been the ring!eader.
