"They are satisfied that the President

OPERA HOUSE BURNED.
Destruction or Herzog's at Washington
Loss SiI5, 900.


Loss sII5,OOO.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., December D.
Shortly after o'clock this morning fire
was discovered under the stage Of Herzog's
Opera House, in this city, which in short
time enveIoped the whole building in flames.
Aided by n strong wind and the inhammable
material in the Opera House, the flames
soon gutted the whole building, from Gel
lar to attic. Tonight nothing but the
brown stone ice covered outer walls, are
standing Buildings in the vicinity were
seriously endangered, but were saved by
the strenuous exertions Of the fremeD, and
the fact that they were covered with. snow
which had been falling all night and was
still descending.
The building was erected by the Young
Mems Christian Association and its large
hall in the second and third stories was
formerly used for concert and lecture pur-
poses, whence il derived the appellation Of
Lincoln Hall.
For few years past the Hall has been
occupied as theatre, doing business at
popular prices and was named Herzog's 5
Opera House The building it is said i
still owned by the Y. NJ. Z. A., but is
heavily mOrtgaged. The loss on building
is Sll5, 900; insurance SIS, 900.

About the Tariff and Silver.

Congressman Harris, of Georgia, Talks
About the Tariff and Silver.
WASHINGTON, December 5.-The SOlOns
are here, and the SOlOns are coming, and
they are talking. Eight out of ten of the
Democratic members who have come here
fresh from the people talk one way. They
warmly favor tariff reform, continuance of
the coinage of silver, and the turning of
Republicans out of offices which do not
come under the civil-Service- reform law.
There can be no mistaking the sentiment
of the Democrats. 1t is nearly unani-
nous. Down with Mugwumpery and up
with Democracy.
Congressman Harris, of Georgia MEM
ber of the Ways and Means Committee,
was interviewed by your correspondent to-
night rs follows:
Judge Harris, we would like your
views on the Presidents policy, the tariff,
and silver"
well you know in Georgia, politics are
all one way Some of our COngressmen
had no opposition. Most Republican
OfiicehOlders have been removed, and that
question did not form an important factor
there. Still we think well of Cleveland,
and that he intends to redeem his pledges,
but he is tardy. On the Question of re-
form in the administration of the Govern
ment, we won in 1854, and we want that
promise redeemed by putting men in office
who are loyal to the Democratic party.
As to tariff, it is true we have some pro-
tectionists in Georgia, but the Democratic
party is pledged TO tariff reform. 1t Is
unfortunate the matter has been sprung,
as the Democrats are divided. The bill is
not Mr.. MOrriSon's bill proper. 1t had its
inception in two ideas-ene was the reduc-
tion of taxation, and the other had IN view
the harmonizing in the interests OF both
sections of the country.
what are We going to do with this vast
amount of revenue that is proving an OPP
preston to the people? There Is scarcely
any prosperity in the cotton belt. The
price they get for their cotton is almost
what it costs to produce it. If ! were in
MorriSon's place l would take up the
Tariff Bill at very early day, and if it
was voted down would have Randall call
up his bill, and have an honest effort to
reduce taxation, because that was the
main pledge in the platform of'S4. 1t is
a singular fact that the President of one
of the largest mills in Georgia. mill
that cost a million dollarS-is free trader.
He is q pioneer in Southern manufactur-
ing"
''What about silver"
81 think something ought to be done to
replace this imperceptible contraction
which is going on by the withdrawing OF
the national bank currency. am for free
and uuliDited coinage. Silver is like Other
commodities in one sense It's value in the
market is sdeteSmined by the quantity used.
/ hear no persons complain in my section
of the bulkipeSs of silver. The complaint
is that they have not got enough"

Strange Disappearance and Stranger Story
OF One Who Was Mourned ~ Deed.
DETROIT, MICH, December 4.-Wm.
H. Chandler, Of the malt firm Of n. G.
Williams & Co., disappeared from Detroit
on May last without warning. His
horse and buggy were found standing at
the foot Of Joseph Campau avenue, but
there was no trace of the owner. His &C.
counts were perfectly straight, and it was
generally supposed that he had met .
violent death.
ter OF Public Schools and member Of tho
firm Of Gambler Brothers, builders, pub
licly offered reward of $500 for his sons
body. The notice offering the reward was
published for some time in the daily pa
pers, but it was suddenly withdrawn.
His father felt that the young man
must still be living, and that the reward
might induce some villain to kill him and
then discover" the dead body.
His wife, apparently widow, broke up
her land with her two children re
moved to the residence of her mother,
Mrs. f. E. Duncan, No. 100 East Congress
street.
The community had almost completely
forgotten Will II. Chandler when he re-
turned last night, and he to-day related an
astonishing story about his disappearance
He came in the flesh, not q sign OF ccre-
ment . taint OF the graveyard about
him. Hewaps hruithy, usurh -riive IMAM,

Following is his story:-Some malsters

on May 4. Mr.. Chandler set out to find
men to take their places, He drove up 10
cooper's shop on Gratiot avenue and was
there advised to go TO Walkeryille. He
proceeded to the foot of Joseph Campau
avenue, left his horse and buggy there and
crossed the river in ferry steamer. He
reached Walkeryille and had just started
on his search for men when through some
means or other he lost all conscio usncss.
When he recovered possession Of his
senses he found himself seated in railway
passenger car. Confused at this he put
his hand to his forehead in his effort 10
recall what mad happened. The pressure
of his hand revealed to him the fact that
he was wounded. lie found that q
straight cut extended across his forehead
almost from temple TO temple.
Calling the conductor, he asked, Where
am II"
"lu Kansas City," was the reply.
Chandler was astounded. Al first IL
struck him that he had been robbed, and
began search Of his pockets. lie found
nothing missing. Instead, he was the
possessor of through ticket TO San Fran
cisco. Dazcd by the wound and unable TO
think clearly, he decided to 20 TO Cali
fornia. II seemed TO him that il he re-
turned ut once TO Detroit he would be
unable TO satisfactorily explain what had
happened and some suspicion might at
tach 10 his conduct. He reached San
Francisco quite i'll, and for month was
confined To his room. Shame still kept him
from returning Immediately on his rccos-
cry, and il was not until n couple Of weeks
ago that he mustered up upsuilicient courage.
Mr.. Gambler has always been noted for
exemplary conduct and truthfulness, aud
while his story is very sensational II II I'M

ROCK ISLAND THIEF.
THE ROBBER WHO STOLE $50, 900 FROM THE
ROCK ISLAND EXPRESS co.
Believed 10 bel Jail in Chicago Charged With Rgany
Henry Sehwarz Brakeman, Believed 10 Be
The Thief-Evidsnce Against
SchwarZ

CHICAGO, December 5-Henry Schwartz
formerly of Philadelphia, now in tn
county Jail here charged with bigamy, i
strongly suspected of being the man guilt,
OF the daring robbery of the Rock Islant
Express train last March, when kellogg,
Nichols, the Express Messenger, lost hi
life and $50, 600 was stolen from the Ex
press car. Schwartz, for two years, ha.
been brakeman on the Rock Island road
Friday nigh. rs he came into the de
pot with his train an officer took him by
the arm and marched him to the Harrison
street station. Yesterday he was arnigned
for having married wife in Philadelphis
seven years ago, and with having married
a Chicago woman two years ago. At his
own solicitation his case was continued in
81, 600 until Deoombsr IL
At first he maintained-a duggeti silence,
but now volubly alleges that the Rock
Island Company does not care whether ht
has one wife or n hundred, if he or some
one else can be sent to the penitentiary
for the robbery of the express company
He confesses that he has spent much more
money than he has earned or could have
received from home, but he is not ready tt
tell where the money came from.
As brakemen Schwartz was one Of the
crew of the i'll fated train to which Mes
senger Nichols car was attached. Ne
suspicion was directed toward him ut the
time. When in compliance with tele,
graphic instructions Schwartz was return
ing to Chicago to attend the inquest, the
conductor of the train found in the toilet
room of the car in which Schwartz was
seated black hand bag which some on,
had tried to force down the closet pipe.
1t was empty but sticking in fold oftht
cloth was piece OF what looked like a
part of check. Schwartz was noticeably
confused by the discovery. Various minor
circumstances pointed to him rs the owner
of the bag. Subsequent investigation
showed that the torn bit Of the paper fitted
into mutilated check that was among the
scattered contents of the ritled express car.
From that time Schwartz was shadowed
day and night. He was spending with q
lavish hand.
The money stolen from the express cal
was mostly in bills of large denominations,
and about $4,000 in $50 bills that
Schwartz had spent here and in the East,
were obtained by the detectives. From
the first it has been conceded that the
crime was committed by a railroad man.
Now the railroad and express officials
hope that the mystery of the cold-blooded
murder and daring robbery Is soon to be
cleared away.
