A MYSTERIOUS FIRE.
An EX-Newspaper Mans Household
Goods Are Wasted by Confagration.

An Ex-Newspaper Mans Household
Goods Are Wasted by Conhagration.
Last night the citizens were aroused
from their quiet reveries aud the talk OF
political aspiTants was interrupted by
the ding, dong, OF the new fire bells and
the deep unmistakeable boom of the old
ones that conveyed the intelligence that
there was fire. But as usual the fire
alarm gave an uncertain utteranCe, some
bells Indicated that the fire was In the
Third ward, Others that Ii was in the
Second ward. The latter was correct
guess, and the fire was located in August
SChwurtZ's twO-stOTy house, on Belvin
street, now in the occupation OF Charles
SeabRugh, the well known journalist.
The Second Ward Hose company with
commendGble energy arrived first at the
scene of the fire and threw the
first water. and to it's credit
be ii said it worked like Trojans TO
kill the fiery fiend. Then the Second
ward engine came and rendered assist
anCe. Indiscretion on the part of the
latter company OcCaSiOned some hard
, Ords and nearly led To q faction fight
Ii seems that the hose of the Second
ward fire company burst, and sprinkled
their own men, with water. This they
attributed to the Second ward hose COM
pany and the fire company played upon
the hose COmpAny'S men, wetting them
badly with water and they cut their
hose. At least this is the statement of
the Second ward hose company and
they are prepared to swear to 1t. Then
Louis Weyel, fOrman of the Second ward
hose company, and Messrs. HOehIng Il
Son, of the Second ward fire company
had a severe alteration in which some
alat nFFln SnU
Dutch was exchanged. A fight was
imminent when friends interfered and
prevented fire Of another character
bursting into confiagration and
peace was restored. Ultimately the fire
was got under and the Second ward
hose company scored a big credit.
The household goods of Mr.. Seabaugh
including a fine piano, are wrecked, and
the house Is so far damaged as to be
practically worthless.
Mr.. Seabaugh Is said to be in Austin
and his wife Is visiting friends in Bel
ton. He had not been home all day. All
the facts lead to the inference that the
fire is the work Of an incendiary. AS far
as can be ascertained, Seabaugh Ia unIn-
sured, but Mr.. SChwartZ's insurance will
fully cover the damage.
The fire occurred in the same block
where Wallace and Heron were burned
out under similar circumstances, and
there are ugly rumOrs afloat. These will
In due time be Investigated by the
police, and some strange developments
are expected.
The LIGHT man met Mr.. Cha les Sea-
baugh this morning. Mr.. Seabaugh said
IL have been in Austin and didn't know
anything of the calamity that had be-
fallen me until | read 1t in the Austin
Statesman as | was on the train. My loss
is great for poor man. Ii cannot be less
than from $4,000 to 81, 800. am quite
satisfied that the fire originated from the
incendiary action Of some person. | am

Smith, Jr., lessee of the Brunswick ho-
tel, Austin, and ticket agent there, well
known to many citizens, shot and NOR
tally wounded Ike Clemens, a cOlored
man who drives delivery wagon. From
the facts, which are considerably mixed,
it appears that Clemens called at the
Brunswick for some baggage, which
Smith refused to deliver. A sharp al
tercation occurred, when Clemens struck
Smith, when the latter shot the negro.
Clemens says that Smith drew Il pistol,
and he struck him to ward off the pistol.

Can't Do It.

Judge Wurzbach has written DR.. Dem
ton, superintendent of the state lunatic
asylum at Austin, asking II he can make
room for l5patients, seven Of whom are
idiots. DR.. Denton thinks that he can
accommodate five patients, and is max
ing arrangements to do so, but the other
10 must be cared for by Bexar county as
best she can.
There is no question but what the
asylum, as at present constituted, is to-
tally inadequate to the calls made upon
it, and as that Is the only place where
lunatics or idiotic patients can be prop
erly treated, the state should make in
creased accommodation for the many pa
tients in all parts of the state who are
now wanting admission to the asylum.
