BIG DRY GOODS FIRE.

Manufacturer, of st. Paul, Loses Over
S152, 900 by Fire In His Store.
A fire IN Mannheimer' s marble block,
ST. Paul, Mimi, on the afternoon of
the 23d, burned fercely in the fine
fabrics in the basement and on the
salesroom floor, while floods of water
were poured in from the steamers.
These two elements wrought great
havoc, and soon the finest dry goods
house in the city was in ruins, as far
as stock was concerned, although there
may be sufficient salvage, Mr.. Mann
heimer says, with the insurance, to re-
duce.the firms loss somewhat. The
stock was invoiced at $4,000 re-
Gently, but since then many costly
goods have been received and were in
the store. The insurance is not yet
exactly known, but is about 100000.
The building was valued at $4,000,
bat was not damaged more than &c.
600. The insurance is distributed
among a great many companies, but
none are heavy losers.

THE stable of Besser' hotel at Ocono-
mowoc, was destroyed by fire. A
heavy wind prevailed at the time, but
the fire department succeeded IN con-
filming the flames to the building de-
stroyed. All the horses in the barn
were saved. There is no insurance.
Albert Sprague was arrested on the
22d, charged with having fired the
stable. So many apparently incendl-
airy fires have occurred that unusual
interest is manifested. Sprague is a
carpenter.
A. D. SMITHS large warehouse and
stock of goods at Glidden, on the
Central road, were destroyed by fire
on the morning of the 21st. Loss on
stock, So. 500; insured in the Traders
and Lancashire for $1,000 each;
Orient, $500; loss on building, 81, 500;
insured for 5000.

Chow much ?" asked Tracy, with a
look OF saturnine qualification, as he
handed over the ink-bottle.
Give hundred dollars" responded
the moneyed man as he took up the
pen.
"Pshawl" was Tracy's exclamation.
eli you are going to give me a present
at all, why don't you make it some
thing worth while-say $2,5O0?"
The man of dollars laughingly
acqulesced and handed over a check
for the full amount. So William
Tracy, for no other reason than that
he IS tough character, consenting to
bestow his valuable companionship
upon q millionaire, received this hand
some gift, and has been industriously
spending it ever since.

terward that it would not keep good
time. She sent it to a jeweler, but he
reported that it was not magnetized
and kept good time. Still, whenever
she carried it her time was too slow,
although when she left it in her room
1T ran correctly. A gentleman who
knew of the circumstances suggested
to the young lady that she wear an
other pair of corsets when next she
carried her watch. She did so and
had no further trouble with the watch.
The steel springs in her corset had
been magnetized.

An Indiana Goat Story.
from the Columbus Dispatch.

From the Columbus Dispatch.l
A j., M. and |. box-car which had
some loose grain scattered over the
floor, was invaded by a flock of be-
tween twenty-five and thirty goats at
Columbus, Ind, when some of the boys
closed the door, and the car was taken
out to Indianapolis "empty," as sup
posed. On arriving at Indianapolis,
one of the brakemen in the yard
opened the car door. when the billy
goats jumped out one after another,
scattering in every direction. The
crew, supposing they had been shipped
as freight, engaged in chaseto hours,
capturing fifteen of them. They then
went to hunt the agent to see theway-
bill, to see how many goats had been
shipped, when they discovered the
Joke.

DR.. Wild preached on "The Close of O.
Cycle" in the Bond Street Church Mon
day night. He said that the world is
TO have three cycles, Ihefrst termin-
ated when the earth was depopulated
by the flood; the second will be by
burning, which will ''smash up and
burn up every insurance company at
the same time," and the third cycle
will have no end The world, the preach
er said, was at the present time pass
ing from the moon cycle into the sun
cycle, of which the characteristics are
prosperity, wealth and morality. At
the close of the sun cycle the earth is
destined to relapse into barbarity and
paganism. Each minor cycle lasts
about lit years, and the greater U.s.

Argument Before the Committee Basis on
Which Kidd's Hopes Rest.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 12-The arguments in
the Kidd-Steele contested election case were
made to-day before the House committee on
elections. John Paul Jones and ex Representa-
tive E. John Ellis spoke for Mr.. Kidd, aud John
A. Kersey. of Marion, for Mr.. Steele The bur.
den of the argument by the attorneys for Kidd
was on the charge OF bribery testified to by Rob-
ert Horne The testimony of Horne was not
taken till the last evening of the last day on
which testimony in rebuttal was taken, ard he
was the last witness examined by Kidd. thus
giving Steele no opportunity to refute it. But
Horne's testimony was unsupported, and will
have no weight before the committee
Horne also testified that neither the
man selling the vote Tor the man
claiming to have sold it could write, and that he
twho was working for Kidd fixed the ticket
scratching out Kidds name and putting Steele
ticket over 1t, thus showing that he himself was
the only one of the three who was capable OF
committing the felony, if one was committed. 1t
was also shown in evidence that Horne was try
ing to prevent a man by the name of Powell from
voting, and he (Horne) testified that several
men offered to sell their votes to him. It is not
likely that the committee will act on this char
acter of testimony.
