After the Eleventh.street Fire.

MISS NJ BRIDE BRINGS AN ACTION FOR LIBEL.
John Q. Thompson, editor of the Sunday
Chronicle, was arrested this morning by Detec-
tive Carter. on a warrant sworn out by Miss
Mary Mcbride, charging him with criminal
libel, the action being based on an article pub
listed in the Chronicle last Sunday which, IL is
alleged, reflected on the character OF Mss
Mcbride Mr.. Thompson was released on $500
bail to appear in the Police Court next Tuesday
morning.
MISS MBRIDE RE-ARRHSTED.
MIR. julius Lansburgh, who went on the bond
of Miss Mcbride tor $4,000 to secure her APP
pearance on the charge of arson, yesterday pro-
cured q baiLpiece for her arrest, to relieve him
Miss Mcbride by Detective Carter, and Miss Nc
Bride spent the night in the seventh precinct
police station. This was done at the suggestion
OF Miss Mcbride, as there was some question as
to the validity OF the decentralization securing
the bond.
1t appears that MIR. Lansburgh was induced
to go on the bond OF Miss Mcbride on an in
demnlty bond being given him by Mrs. Near
Ole Ine husband OF the latter not having
joined her in signing the bond, it was thought
the bond was not good. and therefore Mr. Lans-
Durgh procured the bal-plece as above stated.
W hen the officer found Miss Mcbride at the
racine building she sent for her counsel, Mr.. w.
A.Cook, and after a consultation with him sub
mltted quietly to the arrest
IN the Criminal Court this morning Mr..
LanSOurgn formally surrendered Miss Mcbride,
MI Cook, after explaining The circumstances
suggested that the bail be reduced to 5 500,
which he thought could be raised by Monday
The court said it Was to be regretted the dis
trlct attorneys duties did not permit him to
present the case to the grand Jury before that
body adjourned. He reduced the bail to the
amount suggested by Mr.. Cook, who thereupon
saiu ne would present the bail on Monday.

CONkLiNG AND THE ARTIST.

A New Story of the New York Senator
Once so Conspicuous Politically.
have just heard an incident in the life of
Roscoe Contling which l do not think ha.
ever been in the newspapers. 1t occurred
during the time Of the electoral commission,
early in 1877, when Conkling was in the
senate and was its most prominent Repub
lican figure Senator Conkling liked prolut-
hence perhaps as much as any other member
of congress, but in his lordly way he thought
ii small to appear to do so. An artist Of The
London News was sent here to make sketches
of the great event for his paper, and he
wished 10 make Senator Conkling PERT of
these pictures He called upon Conkiing at
his residence and found hun engagrd i'll writ
ing. He was received in dignitie,l way and
told Senator ConIfng that he would like to
have photograph of him to send to London,
and that if he had no photographs he would
make arrangements for him to sit at any time
with any Washington photographer Conklmg
should select, and that The London News
would pay the bill.
That is out of the question" replied Conk-
ling. II have something else to do than sit
for photographs. l am sorry can't obiige
YOU"
At this the artist turned TO go, wheIeupun
Senator Conklmg said: Il suppose, sir, you
sketch, and If you really want my picture,
though can't give You photograph, don't
see how 1 can prevent you from taking
sketch Of me" More than this. he was per
fectIy willing that the artist should take the
sketch then and there, and while lie was
writing away the artist sat down and rapidly
moved his pencil over the paper, In tho
course of ten minutes be got up and hsdc
Conkllng good day, when Senator Conkling
asked 10 see the sketch 1t was handed to him.
and he was so much pleased with 1t that he
told the artist that he would like to keep it,
and that if he would allow him to do SO he
would pose for him.
The artist wanted nothing better than this,
and he got Senator Conkling to assume
position he had taken III one of his noted
speeches, delivered a day or two before. He
kept him standing until lie had made an ex-
cellcnt sketch. and this sketch he sent of to
his pap,r--''Carp' in Cleveland Leader.
