rapidty.
Running to the roof at tho OF the stairs was

mighty bound, and poured into the rooms on each
floor. The tenants at supper, and made q
dash for the halls, but driven back by the flames
which had ignted the stairs They groped their way
through the thick smoke to the fire escapes In the
of the building, and assisted down by the fire
men from Hook and Ladder Company No. 6. They
had hardly reached place of safety when the fire
escapes envelOped in sheets of flame that were
thrown simultaneously from every window
The fire presented an ominous appearance. and
Chief McGill sent out a second alarm for engines TO
protect the neighboring tenements. After an hour 5
hard work the fire was brought under control. The
inside of the structure entirely destroyed and the
families that burned out were left penniess as
they had to fee so quickly that there no chance to
save anything. Two children living on the top floor
were overcome by smoke and were carried out in an
unconscious condition but soon revived in the
open air. The total loss IS estimated at 10000.

One of the laughable results of the campaign Is the
political attitude of number Of Custom House en-

during the campaign, all who held place in Uncle
Sans employ received opportunity In october TO
"plank up" their funds to aid the election of the
Democratic ticket 1t was generally understood that
the Republicans there would do nothing of the kind,
but It turns that the influences brought TO bear,
coupled with fears Of removal, were too much for the
principles OF largo contingent. Among them were
fortytwo inspectors of customs, who, although assert
ing their Republican friends that they would suffer
any form of official death rather than give pecuniary
aid and comfort to the enemy, nevertheless walked
into Mr. Jordan's office, at No. 30 Lbertyst.. where
contributions were received for the Democratic Ma
tlcnal Committee, and paid the assessment of $40
each.
