The Metropolitan Club Fire.


THE CLUB FILES AN ANSWER TO THE PETITION OF THE
INSURANCE COMPANIES
The case OF the Arlington Fire lns. Co. and other
Insurance companies against the Metropolitan Club
ct al TO restrain the defendant from entering
suits at law for damage by fire, &C., was before
Judge Merrick In the Equity Court this morning.
The answer or the defendant was nled by Mr.
Enoch Totten. 1t denies that Mr.. John A Paker Is
the chief executive oficer or the club admits the
fire at the building on April 20. 1855, which the
answer says caused great damage, 81 600. TO the
roof alone. They admit that ID. j. McCarty ex-
amined the building 10 report the amount or loss,
and reported the amount S4.75L7o. They state
that the amount declared by AcCarty was trivial
In comparison with the real damage. They admit
that Building Inspector EntNisle estimated
the amount at S. SS4, which they say is Inadequate.
They state that Lewis Dessez was employed In ex-
amalg < the building, ana he fixed the loss at
$lS 4Q2 20, his examination extending over seven
days. They admit the offer OF the companies
agreeing TO place the building In repair but stated
that no such oIer came from the Columbia COM
pany. The answer s.ates that they agreed 10 ac-
cept S14, 7S6. 16, which sum was approved by J. e.
Hornbiower, an architect, as FAIR amount. They
state that there are about 900 members OF the
club and that the delay I'm settling the loss ser1-
ousiy incommodes the members, &c, and ask TO
be dismissed
After some discussion the court continued the
injunction for four days, with leave 10 the COM
plainant companies to examine the building be-
tween the hours OF and O'Clock

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
Ell PAso, Ten, Dec. 12.-Another
large crowd witnessed the bull fight to-
day in Juarez City. A prominent feature
of to-day's attendance was the large
number of ladies, both American and
Mexican. Shortly after 3 O'Clock the
gate was thrown open and large red
and white bull rushed into the arena.
After fifteen minutes of fighting he was
turned out. The second bull, large
black animal, proved to be the feature
of the day. He caught one of the
mounted picadores and threw horse and
rider bodily into the air. He was finally
killed. The third bull refused TO face the
picadores and he was turned out. The
next one, however, large brown and
white with long sharp horns made up for
all the short comings of his predecessor.
The mounted banderiho, Antonio Fuen-
tos, found it difficult to plant his darts
into his side. He fought furiously. He
disabled Fuentos right hand by vicious
thrust of his horns, and did considerable
damage to the picadores. The brute was
finally killed. The last bull came up to
the expectations of the audience by his
vicious fighting qualities. He was by far
the best fighter ever ushered into the ring
this season. He tossed the horses about
like feathers and several times cleared
the ring. He made rush
at horse and thrust one of his horns in
to his lungs. The horse staggered out of
the ring and died shortly afterwards.
The bull was dispatched by Fuentos after
repeated efforts. At one time it looked
as though Fuentos was not equal
to the emergency but finally he caught
the bull mapping and thrust his sword
through his heart. The last lot of bulls
purchased by the managers of the bull
ring are up to the standard as fighters.
They are making big money. The
weather is very fine and large crowd is
in attendance at every Fight.

TENARKANA, TEX, Dec. 12.-This
morning ut CLOCK fire was discov-
cred in the third story of William Behans'
establishment, fronting on Broad street
Texas side. Behans keeps an immense
stock of furniture, hardware, mill ma
chinery doors, etc, and occupies his
own store, Il three-story and two-stOry
brick. The contents of the third story
had been consumed and the contents of
the second were one vast sheet of flames
before it was discovered. In an incredi-
bic short time the fire companies were
out and both the Arkansas and Texas
waterworlis were throwing water on the
fire, which was checked right where it
was discovered, but it kept four
steady streams for several hours to
kept it subdued. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate the loss. Many of the goods were
burned and many removed and are now
i'll a damaged condition. Mr.. Behans
invoice showed about $40 900. His esti-
mated loss is said to be about $50 900 ..
The loss on the building is almost total.
Insurance on building about $4,000, in
surance on the stock about $40 200 dis
tributed among 7. w. Offenhauser' s
companies.
F. Locasto, saloon, next door, loss
from removal about $500, insured.
All the goods saved by Behans are in a
wet and damaged condition and is a big
job for the adjusters. Behans was the
principal owner of the Mathews mill +,
which was burned short while ago.

tention of every provision of the law as it
stands, but desires it should be made
stronger. The failure TO strictly enforce
the law is due to the determined opposi-
ton on the part of some railroad inter-
ests, and the inability of the commission
to procure proper evidence to convict
parties guilty of its violation. In resist
ing the law and refusing to carry it out
the railroads retard the progress and
prosperity of the country. As regards
the claim which has been made that it
had deprecated the value of stocks and
bonds with no compromising benefit to
the public, Judge Cooley said it has just
the opposite effect. 1t is rapidly bring
ing stocks and bonds down TO their true
value. Most of these securities were yet
far above their intrinsic value and not
until they came down to their proper
level could the country or people prosper.

A great mystery in certain household
in Boston has been solved. The head OF
the house, who bought sugar by the
barrel, often wondered chow in the
world the family used as much sweeten-
ing as they did, - and his wife, who was
not much given to going into the kitchen
said she guessed they didn't use any
more than other folks. But one day she
did go to the kitchen, and arrived just
in time to see the cook in the act of
throwing spoonful of graduated white
sugar on the fire. Sugar is exceedingly
infiammable, and its application made
the fire flash up in fine shape. The girl
confessed that she had regularly used
sugar to quicken the FIRE. "Sure,
num- she said, "we must have the
fire, an the coal burns that slow that me
heart is broke waitin upon it.'
