REVENGE FOR A KICK.
A Young Fagabond Sets Fire to Stable and
Then Surrenders to the Police.

Shortly before 6 o'clock. last evening, the large
brick stable in the rear Of the First PRESBYTERIAN
Church, on New York street, was discovered on
fire, and within five minutes the whole roof was
blazing. The fire was first discovered by three
bootblacks who were in the alley, and saw
young man who had been loafing around the
place for several days leave the stable and run
The department was promptly on hand, and the
fire was extinguished after the roof and several
tons of hay had been destroyed. The stable was
rented by Braden & Co., feed store men, as
storeho for hay and corn. The loss was not
over $500. and is fully covered by insurance in
the Hartford company.
The fire was hardly out when Patrolman
Joyce, who was going to roll. call was overtaken
on Delaware street by Ed Landers, who said he
had fired the barn, and wanted to give himself
up as the boys who were in the alley saw him
do 1t. He was taken in charge by Joyce, and
was locked up for arson. He is twenty three
years of age, and is the son OF Philip Landers,
who resides at No. 284 Louisiana street Four
years ago he left here and went to Louisville,
where he says. he was engaged with the L. & N.
lost his job and he returned here, but
his father, for some reason, would not allow him
to come home. He had no place to sleep, and
three nights last week he lodged in the Voss
barn. Sunday morning the employees discovered
him in the hay now, and kicked him out He
told them he would get even with them, and
said last evening. at $50 o'clock he got into the
hay NOW by cliin bing upon the roof of an ad-
Joining she'd and. raising window, touched
match to the hay. 1t blazed up so quick that he
came near being suffocated before he got out.
and this delay was the cause of his being
caught Before he left Indianapolis for LOUIS

OFFICES OBTAINED BY FRAUD.
The Quo Warranto Proceedings of Coroner
Elect Wagner and Judge Irwin.

Dr. Wagner, coroner-elect began quo war
ranto proceedings yesterday against Charles n.
Rocker who is now acting in that office, and
Frank A. Morrison who has a commission from
the Governor on the fraudulent majority OBJ
tanned by the alteration of tbs tally sheets and poll
book of the first precinct of the Twenty third
ward. The information sets forth that Wagner
had total of IL, 963 and Morrison 13, 931, but
the frauds made it appear that the latter had
1858 and Wagner 49, 936 This was obtained
by frauduently reducing Wagners true vote on
the tally sheet of the first precinct Of the
Twenty third ward, from which the canvass was
made, from l47 to l20, aud by increasing Nor
Tison's true vote from 25l to fraudulent 278. TT
is set out that the canvass was made these false
returns retained by the inspectors, and that in
no instance did the board examine the duplicates
sealed up in bags and deposited with the county
clerk. The issuing of A commission to Morrison
by the Governor and his acceptance of it, is re-
cited, but it also states that Morrison has failed
to qualify, as the statute requires. The relator
says he rendered his bond to the County Com
missioners, which was refused, and that he
thereupon filed with the county clerk the oath of
Office. Rockers title to the Office to
which he appointed by the County
Commissioners, TO FIJI the vacancy caused by the
death of DR.. Stratford has apsed through the
election of Wagner, but the latter in making
demand for the Office, was refused by Rocker
who still claims the position of coroner, because
his successor has not qualified. The information
goes to Judge Walkers ROOM and the writ is re-
turnabie on the 18th inst

The seats for the assembly halls in the new
State house arrived yesterday and the work of
placing them in position began at once. The
gas fixtures are being put in. The rooms to be
occupied by the Governor and Secretary of State
are about ready for them, and they will move over
in about two weeks. The State Librarian and the
Commissioners are still unable to agree as to
who shall seat the legislators. Miss Calls is
daily receiving applications, and as soon as she
gets her diagram, says she will seat the mem
bers. The Commissioners still claim the duty is
theirs, and announce their intention to have the
members draw lots for their seats on the day the
Legislature assemblies.

savauDah-Chicago game yesterday was
fully az large as that which Witnessed

again defeated by score OF II to8
1t was an enthusiastic game, full OF ex-
citing points and uncertainty. Flynn
pitched for the visitors and Neal for the
home team. The big sluggers could not
touch Neal with any great effect, and
only six base hits were made of his de-
livery. Flynn was hit freely in the be-
ginning OF the game. The visitors were
outbatted, the home team making seven
base hits, with total Of twelve, against
Chicagos six. In the last innings Savan-
nan had difficulty in touching Flynn, ana
her strongest batters were retired on
strikes. NeaPs pitching was wild. and in
every inning except two Chicago got men
on bases through called balls. II was
their splendid base running and SaVan-
mains costly errors as much, perhaps. as
any thing that gave the visitors the game.
The home team played in hard luck.
W nile in the field they played a much bet

about halt as many errors, yet they were
beaten. Nearly every error that the team
made let in winning runs.

In Honduras there is only one railroad.
but that is worthy OF a description. 1t
extends from Purto Dortes, on the north
coast to san Pedro Sula, some thirtv-fve
miles from the sea. The track is in barrel Y
passable condition. In places there are
few ties, in others there are none. The
rails are held in their places by wooden
pegs. Grass grows high over all
the right-ol-way, the dew they bear Wet
ting engine and cars as they drag along.
Bamboo, the irOnds Of palm trees, bushes.
shrubs, and vines brush top and sides of
the passing train.
On the brid yes, Of which there are many
small ones, there are no ties. The rails
rest uneasily upon heavy and more than
half rotten stringers. The one engine on
the road is made up OF parts OF four, OF
ancient English pattern taken TO Hondu-
ras some 10 years ago. The passenger
coach is about as large as an average
street car, but differs materially from it
IN style and finish. All OF the frame above
the floor OF the car is of wood, dingy with
age, smoke, and CRIME worked in by the
pressure of the sweating hands Of hun
drede Of passengers, who religIously be-
lieye That to work The hands is folly, and
