THE TENEMENT-HOUSE FIRE.
Three Persons Standardization That
the Fire Was Started by an Incendary.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23-The accidental upset
ting of Kerosene lamp in the rooms of Otto
Matobcek, on the third floor of the fve-story
tenement, 404 East Sixty fourth street, early
this morning, was the signal for agonizng scenes
of terror and death. The house and one ad join
ing were filled with Bohemian cigaT1nakers
employed in neighboring cigar factory. One
hundred and fifty people slept soundly when the
cry Of fire was raised. The flames communi-
Gated to the floors above through convenient air
shafts A scene of wild confusion and panic en-
sued. The frightened tenants took to the fire.
escapes with all haste. They were given shelter
by the neighbors while the fremen were fighting
the flames This was not an easy
task as the upper stories and the roof
were ablaze, and the flames had spread to
406. Reinforcements were summoned and the
fire was quickly subdued. About 800 900 dam
age was done to the buildings and the property
of the tenants. There were some narrow es-
capes. and two women, with their children, were
reported to have been slightly burned, but the
lily smothered to death. In a rear room of the
top floor of No 404 they came upon Mary Tealka,
a widow, forty years old, and her children Mary,
aged seven, and Annie, aged six years living
dead. 1t was three hours after the outbreak
when this discovery was made. second and
closer search was made, but no other bodies had
been discovered up to o'clock this morning.
Areport spread early among the homeless tenants
that the house had been deliberately set on fire.
and one of their number, Henry Kohul, a Bohe-
milan cigar maker, was pointed out as the guilty
He had disappeared, and did not show up
until later IN the morning, when he was arr rested
By that time the police had collected evidence
enough to make a charge of arson and murder
against him. The excitement of the Bohemians
had become furious, and threats of lynching
were made. Kohul is insured for 5000, while his
furniture is scarcely worth $75 The charge is
that he set fire to the house to get this money.
The fire marshal began taking testimony later
concerning the origin of the fire. From this it
appears that the fire broke out in Kohul's room,
and kerosene oil had been poured over the bed
and floor. The hallway and stairs were in
flames, and the only way of escape for the ten
ants was by the fire escapes in the front and
rear. Kohul was identified by one of the
tenants as the man who threw something like
water out of pail on the burning stairs and
then the ewitness thought it was kerosene.
Kohul was arragned in court to-day and held ON
a charge of arson.

KILLED WITH A HATCHET.
A Prominent and Well-KnOwn Orthodox
Friend Slain by Brutal Negro

CHESTER, Pa, Nov. 23-John Sharpless, one of
the mos: prominent orthodox Friends in Delaware
county was most foully murdered at his farm,
a>out two miles from this city, last night His
farm is part of the original tract of the pioneer
John Sharpless, Of whom be is lineal descendant,
and is located on lonely road. At o'clock last
night strange colored man called at the house
while it was raining. He found Mr.. Sharpless
sitting with his family, his wife and two ladies,
and a nurse He induced Mr.. Sharpless to 90 to
the barn with him for some straps, under the
pretext that a carriage in which were three
ladies. had broken down in the road. When in
the stable, the negro struck Mr. Sharpless in the
back of the head with hatchet, crushing his
skull, and killing him instantly. After taking his
watch, the negro put out the lantern and returned
to the house for the purpose, it is thought, of
killing all therein. In reply to question: he
said he wanted money, and advanced toward one
OF the women, at the same time asking what had
become of the young girl, whom he missed from
she room. Upon learning that she had gone out,
and the colored servant being sent for the vii

tion of John Lindsay's farm, adjoining and it is
supposed fred the barn to distract attention, for

four head of horses, entailing loss of S., OOO
The body of John Sharpless was found in the
stable, where he had fallen. He was very
plain, generous honest man, well-todo farmer,
without an enemy In the world. He was about
eixty-seven years old. He was president of the
Sharpless Bi-centennial Association. and took an
active part in the affairs of his community and
his religious society.
The post mortem examination shows that the
back of Mr.. Sharpless's skull was fractured in
i've places, and that the wounds must have been
inflicted with some heavy, blunt instrument

Enticements to Secure Recruits, and How
They Are Treated When Secured.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov 23.-The recent court
martial of number of privates stationed in the
alleged school of instruction of the signal
service, at Fort Myer, has directed attention to
this branch Of the military service Of late, and
has led to some outside knowledge of the way az
fairs are conducted over there. The signal
service of the army to-day is virtually school
in which martinets are made from commissioned
officers, while privates and those unfortunate
as to wear no shoulder knots, lose their manhood
and self esteem very rapidly. The officers in
charge of the signal service have frequently
caused it to be published that they are extreme
ly desirous to obtain recruits for this branch of
the army among young men of education. who
are anxious to follow scientific course of practi-
cal utility in case it should ever be necessary to
put the military service of the United States
upon footing. The glowing terms in which
life in the Signal Corps has been painted by those
whose interest it was to misrepresent things has
caused many young men of the best families of
the United States, to enlist in this service for the
purpose of deriving the scientific and educational
benefits which have been promised.
Fort Meyer, which lies just across the Potomac
river from Washington, right the beautiful
Arlington cemetery. where the remains Of so
many thousands of brave fellows are turning to
dust. is the school where recruits are sent for in
struction. This so-caled school differs very lit
tie from an ordinary army post, except. perhaps,
IN the personnel of its officers Most army men
are genial, whoesouled fellows when they leave
West Point and they are generally disposed to
have some little fellow feeling even for the pri-
Yates beneath them; yet hard life and close
contact with the rougher element among their
men frequently makes them gruff and calous 20
the feelings of others. The young second lieu
tenants at Fort Meyer, who run things at the
signal-service training school, come in contact
with men beneath them In rank who are, in at
least three cases eout of ten, their superiors in
mental capacity. and it is, perhaps, because of
this preponderance of brains in favor of the
private that the latter is treated like dog by
the men who have it in their power to do So

A CONTEMPTIBLE TRICK.
The Methods Adopted by Certain Congress-
men to Secure Removals of Women

=
men to Secure Removals of Women
SpeciGi TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Some members Of
Congress, it seems, have got themselves into
bad odor at the Postofice Department in their
attempts to secure tourth-cIass postoffices for
their workers. There is an unwritten law in the
department that a woman shall not be removed
from postoffce until her term expires, unless
there are good and sufficient reasons, aside from
political ones for ousting her. Recently the
postmistress at a little town called Dublin, in
Maryland was removed, and q Milesian gentle
man, very active Senator Germans part, was
appointed to succeed her. The people of Dublin
did not like this action, and complained to First
Assistant Postmaster general Stevenson, who
upon reviewing the case, ordered that the post
masters commission should be withheld, and that
the lady incumbent should be retained in her
Office. It seems that members, knowing that
women will not be dismissed to make place for
their political friends. have been in
the habit of playing some very
dirty games to secure their objects
In presenting charges against postmistresses
and asking their removal, instead of calling
them Mrs or Miss" as the case might be,
they simply send in the name Of the incumbent
and ask the dismissal General Stevenson, of
course, could not make personal examination Of
.their case, but depended upon the word Of repre-
sentatives in Congress. Mr.. Stevenson has re-
quired little but congressman's word in re-

instances he has unwittingy dismissed ladies.

thirty five years cashier of the freight depart
ment of the New York Central railroad at
Buffalo, passed through New York to-day en-
route to Buffalo, in custody of of Pinker-
tons detectives. Early in June 1884 Sheppard
suddenly left Buffalo, and on investigating his
accounts it was learned that he was defaulter

Canada, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, but could not
be arrested for want of an extradition treaty.
After swindling Montreal firm he returned to
the United States. and was traced through
towns in New York and Massachusetts to

chased an orange grove, and was arrested.

object to this treatment. and, assuming that the

who serve the government at DESK set forth
their grievances in respectful note to the Chief
Signal Officer This it seems, was violation of
the articles of war which seem to govern this coun
try TO a large extent in times of peace, and they
were court martialed and punished. When it is
remembered that the only other course open to
them was an appeal to the officers against whom
they had made complaint, and that by making
such an appeal they would have subjected them
selves to a garrison court-martial, from which
there was no appeal. it will be seen that the lot
of the foolish young men who enter the signal
service of the United States under the belief
that they can learn something besides the work
which devolves upon the maid servant and chore
boy, is rather rough, and that the signal-service
