MALONE BADLY SCORCHED.
A Disastrous Fire at the Home of
an Ex-Vice President.

UTICA, N. Y, Jan. 29.-Malone,
Franklin county, N. Y, was visited by
terrible fire early this morning. 1t was
first discovered in the crockery store of
M. G. Fuller. situated in the Empire or
Howard house block, and was then
under full headway. Owing to the
hydrants being frozen, 10 water could
be obtained from them, and the long
delay caused from the fact that connec-
ti0ns had to be made at the river and
the water forced up by steamers. Mean
while the fire had completely gutted
the above store and communicated to
the Howard house, one of the finest
hotels in Northern New York, and was
under good headway when the water
was ready to pour Oh the flames. Dur

total loss places it at S200,000, with prob

A BITTER WRANGLE
In the New York Central Labor

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-There was
bitter wrangling at to-day's meeting of
the Central Labor union between the
Knights of Labor and their opponents.
The brewery engineers, who left the
Knights and organized and open union,
are seeking admission to the Central
Labor union. This is opposed by the
Knights on the technicality that they
have not been oryanized six months, as
the rules require. To-day the metal
workers. section presented protest
against the admission of the engineers.
The fight at once began with motion

motions followed and the excitement
increased, several DELEGATES climbing to

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Hon. L. G.
Johnson, of Aberdeen, will leave the
city in few days, having accomplished
his mission to his own satisfaction, as
well as TO the qualification of his friends.
He says:
| have not been here on mission of
warfare this time. The war is over.
Two years ago there was an effort made
to down Ordway johnson. and big fire
was kept up all along the line. There
was nothing too mean for Day and his
friends to say of me; and was not slow
in talking back. But, when the con-
vention which met at Aberdeen in 1886
nominated NJ. Ii. Day for delegate,
pulled off my coat and went to work for
him. The other fellows were sulking
in their stalls, but | went to work at
once. Ever since then
DAY AND HAVE BEEN FRIENDS:
or at least not enemies. Hence, there
has been no warfare here this time.
"How does Day stand on the division
question:"
Il suppose he stands as he always
has, for division. 1t is said that he will
appear before the house committee on
territories next Wednesday and argue
for division. He will probably say all
he can against my arguments, but he
will not say anything against me per-
sonally. L do no not see how any Dem
Ocrat can work iOr the division of Da-
kota; but presume that the section in
which he lives has no little influence on
Days mind. When Charlie Mccoy was
down there he was divisionist; but as
soon as he got away from the surround
ings of the political ring in the south,
he came out squarcly for admission as a
whole. That is what any fair-minded
man will do if he is not wrongly swayed
by bad Influences

body be cremated after death. The
wishes Of the deceased will be carried
out. The body will be taken to the

floor of the four-story building No. AZ
Fifth avenue, occupied by Urling &
Sons, tailors, and Heerin Bros, manu-

property than in any one fire in this
city in number of years. Every fire
engine the city was summoned, but
not until after O'Clock did the tiremen
gain control of the cOnfiagration. The
entire building was envelOped in flames
before the tiremen got rightly to work.
At this juncture it was learned that
two men, c. p. Theis and G. Neibert.
were sleeping Oh the third floor. They
were employees of Heerin Bros, who oc-
cupied the upper portion of the build
ing. A ladder was placed to the window
OF their room and the firemen rescued
and brought them safely down. They
knew nothing of the fire until awakened
by the firemen. In the meantime the
flames had rapidly spread and the en-
tire block was thought to be doomed
and the two fire companies from
Allegheny City responded to a re-
quest for assistance. By the time of
their arrival the fire had worked
its way into the large grocery

Disgraceful Sunday Affair al
Knoxville Tenn


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. "a
shooting affray occurred here this
morning in front of st. Johns EpiscO-
pal church, which resulted in the
wOunding of three men, one of them
fatally. AS James +. Rule, the city
editor of the Knoxville Journal, was
entering the church, accompanied by
his wife, he was accOsted by three men
who wanted to speak with him. He
walked to the opposite side of the street
with them, where all four stood talking
some minutes. The three men were
John West, William West and friend
of theirs, named Goodman. They at
tackled Rule on account of cOmmuni-
cation which appeared in the
DIR. L. A. West, city physician,
and father of John and William West.
Rule refused to give the name of the
author of the communication OF to make
any satisfactory answer to questions.
West struck Rule and attempted to bear
him to the ground. Rule drew re-
volver and shot John West through the
the body. William West then fired on
Rule, the ball passing through Rules
wrist. John West then cut Rule in the
back seven times. William West placed
his revolver at Rules forehead and
fired, but Rule knocked the pistol up,
receiving only a scalp wound. Rule
then fired two more shots, one of them

of Goodman, who seemed to be attempt
ing to separate the cOmbatants. A num-
ber of men rushed from the church and
stopped the bloody fight. William West
ran away uninjured. Rule was able to
get up and walk to the church, but John
West was carried home in dying con-
ditiOn. Rules injuries are not fatal. and
Goodman is not seriously wounded.
Rules wife, who had entered the
church, knew nothing of the difficulty
till all was over. The organ drowned
the noise of the pistol shots. The cir
cumstance which called out the news
paper article was the election of DR.. II.
A. West to be city physician by the city
council. West is not graduate of
medical college and the council had re-
pealed an ordinance for the purpose of
making him eligible. This fact aroused
the indignatian of the regular physi-
clans of the city and was denounced by
the medical society. The article which
caused the bloody affray was written by
physician and contained very severe
reflections upon DIR. West and the coun-
ell. The West boys and Goodman went
to Rules house early this morning, but
did not find him. Rule was afterwards
warned that they were seeking him and
making threats. The entire community
sides with Rule in the matter William
West has been arrested. Goodman
