FATAL FLAMES.

Neiswanser's Stables at Kansas City Burned
An Employe and Forty Horses Lose
Their Lives.
KANSAS CITY, No., March 29.-Neiswan.
gers livery stable, at Eighth and Walnut
terday morning. A hoster named Folman
was smo;hered and all the horses in the
stable, about fifty in number, persisted.
The large stock of bugges, sleighs, ETC.,
carried BY the firm was badly damaged, and
the pecuniary loss will amount to fully
$4,000. The origin of the terri
bic fire is unknown. 1t was twenty
minutes past three when an en-
plOye of the stable named Chris Eightengef
discovered fire in pile of straw in the
northwest corner of the basement. He
gave the alarm and just had time to crawl
out in his night clothes. Three other en-
ployes were awakened in time to scramble
out, and the fire department was at once
notified. The flames spread as il
gnnpOwder had been ignited, and it
was impossible to even attempt rescue
of the horses. A hOstler called "BOs-
ton" whose name was John FOlman, was
sleeping in the front part Of the stable, I'M
der the sidewalk. There was no way of get
ting at him, and it was not till the fire was
under control that his body was found. He
was twenty-eight years old, and came here
from Boston few months ago. The smoke
was so dense that it filed the streets
for blocks away, and the fremen could
do nothing but stand on the out
side and pour water in at
openings cut by axes. The struggles of the
horses were terrible. They groaned and
kicked in their terror and suffering, but all
efforts to aid them were futile. and every
animal persisted in its stall. There were
thirty-siX horses which belonged to the
firm and in addition to these were large
number Of boarders, including fine hors1s
owned by Judge Philips, Mr.. Alex Fraser,
Mr.. John Smith and half dozen
others. Most of the horses were valuable,
some being worth as much as So, COO apiece.
1t was about four O'Clock before the fire
was sufficiently under control to enable
the tiremen to enter the building.
Boston" was found on his bed, having
apparently been smothered in his sleep.

THREE VOTES.

An English, Farmer Prosecuted for Voting
Three Times for One Candidate.
Before Mr.. Justice Stephens, in Lon
don, wealthy Tory farmer was prose-
cutcd by the Government for commit
ting felony in having voted three times
at three different places in one Parlia-
mentary borough. He had three quail
fications, Had these been in different
boroughs, the Government admitted
his right, but opposed his right to vote
three times for one candidate. The
defense admitted the voting. but claimed
entire absense of guilty intention. The
jury found the prisoner guilty. but with
no guilty intent whatever. Mr.. Justice
Stephen entirely agreed with the YER
dict, but said the law must be upheld,
and the prisoner had done what the
law decided was felony. The court
had no option in passing sentence but
to intlict Imprisonment with hard labor.
He did no. wish to pass any such SEN
tence, and the only way he could avoid
it was by ordering the prisoner to enter
into his own recognizances and come
up and receive judgment when called
upon. Probably, unless he offended
again. he would never hear any more
about it. The prisoner was then bound
over and discharged.-N. Y. Post.

jail aud passed some oranges to the prison
er through one of the windows together
with letter expressing sorrow at his diem
MA and confidence in his innocence. The
prisoner ate three of the oranges and then
became suspicious from some reason and
turned over the rest of the fruit to Officer
Norris with the remark that he would not
touch another for $500. Morris took one of
the oranges, which seemed to have been
pnnctured with knife, to DR.. Willis, who
examined it and found large quantity of
arsenic in the pulp. The affair is wrapped
in mystery and no explanation of the
strange event can be made. The prisoner
is in very critical condition and will prob

How tho California Woodpecker Supplies

How the California W0odpecker Supplies
Himself With Maggots.
In California the woodpecker stores
acorns away, although he never eats
them. He bores several holes, differ
ing slightly in size, at the fall of the
year, invariably in pine tree. Then
he finds an acorn, which he adjusts to
one of the holes prepared for its recep-
ton. But he does not eat the acorn,
for, as rule, he is not vegetarian.
His object in storing away the acorn
exhibits foresight and knowledge of re-
suits more akin to reason than to in
stinct. The succeeding winter the
acorn remains intact, but, becoming
saturated, is predisposed to decay,
when it is attacked by maggots, who
seem to delight in this special food. 1t
is then that the woOdpecker reaps the
harvest his wisdom has provided, at a
time when, the ground being covered
with snow, he would experience diff
Guilty otherwise in obtaining suitable or
palatable food. 1t is subject of specu-
lation why the redwood cedar or the
sugar-pine is invariably selected. tits
not probable that the insect the wood
pecker is so fond of is found only on
the outside of two trees; but true it is
that in Calaveras, Mariposa and other
districts of California trees of this kind
may be seen covered all over their
trunks with acorns, when there is not
an oak tree within several mileS.-Chi-

A Postmaster Short.

EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark, March 25.-This
community was surprised yesterday by ru-
mors that II. p. Pulam, postmaster, had
been suspended. On inquiry the fact was
developed that Inspector Maynard had sud-
denly dropped in and asked for the keys,
books, etc. and at once checked up the
books and found the cash short about 500.
On demanding the cash it was not in the
Office and could not be produced. MIR. Pull
lam gave an explanation, but his bOndsmen
were seen, and after some delay to-day the
deficiency was raised ard paid over. In
spector Maynard suspended Mr.. Pullam and
put the office in charge of w.
a. Broad, one Of his bondsmen.
The administration of the office has been
satisfactory to the public and no complaints
have been heard. Mr.. Pulam was only
short time since confirmed by the Senate
and was recently married and attended the
postmasters' convention in Chicago. He
had many friends in both parties and no one
supposes that he had any criminal intent,
but was negligent and easy-going only;
hence the ending of his official place.
