LETTER FROM YORK.

YORK, Pa April 4th, 1888.
Messrs Editors This city was the scene Of the
most intense excitement from 5p. m. yesterday,
until this morning No less than six fires occurred
in different parts of the city in quick succession, all
Of incendiary origin. They were go well located
and managed that the fire department had scarcely
finished one and repaired their respective engine
houses when an alarm was given summoning them
to another locality.
Prior to and since the destruction of the Daily
printing establishment various attempts to set fire
to buildings have been discovered but no special
effort seems to have been made to ferret out the
guilty parties. Now, however, the matter has be-
come 80 serious that it will require fine detec-
tive work to discover the gang and have them
brought to justice. The losses will exceed $500O0,
the largest being Mr.. August Sonneman's whose
tobacco warehouse and contents were totally destroy
ed. The Hubby Printing Companys establishment
was totally destroyed. AS this fire was in the very
heart of the city, near banks and the most prominent
business places, such as p A. & s. small's, York
County National Bank, Lehmyer's clothing estab-
lishment, Weiser's bank and Others The excitement
during the burning of this establishment was the
most intense. 1t was feared at time that there
was a conspiracy to burn the city.
The first of April passed off usual, great deal
of money changing hands and seeking investments.
Spring having opened go favorably and so early
this month"; it has started every body to work, espe
cially the early truckers. The snow banks have
about all disappeared the frost is out of the ground
and the roads are drying off and will soon be in a
condition TO travel again.
There is just now sharp fight going on in the
Republican party in this county over tine delegate to
the next National convention. Mr.. Hiram Young,
of the Dispatch, wants to go and is making vigor-
GUS fight for the honor. He is opposed by the pop
uar chairman, Mr.. Schmidt, who lie strongly backed
by the monied men of the party. just how the mat
ter will end no one can say. X.

CLAUS Spreckles, the man who is called the Sugar
King who was in Baltimore last week and had a
regular picnic at the expense of of the leading
business Of that city, has determined to locate
his sugar refinery in Philadelphia The general i'm
preston now is that Claus never had idea of To-
eating the refinery in Baltimore, where several ex-
cellent sites offered to him. but so much fuss
had been made over him by the press that he just
dropped of at that city, accepted the hospitality of
the merchants, had his hotel bills paid and then pro-
ceeded to the Quaker City, where the final arrange
ments were made. Spreckles is millionaire many
times over but he still loves dollar ALFRED well

The keepers ofpool-rooms in Baltimore city had a
strong lobby at work in Annapolis against the bill to
close up those dens of vice. and they managed to de-
feat it. These places have done more to lead young
men and boys estray than almost any other form Of
vice in the city, but the men who run them have
plenty OF money and this is the secret OF their sue
cess. 1t is disgrace to the State that such men
control legislation but that they do it is fact that
cannot be controverted.
IT Is said that notwithstanding Mr.. Blaines letter.
declining to be a candidate for the Republican nom
ination for the Presidency, leading Republicans in
New York are actively at wor,; in his interest and
will see that the delegation from that State to the
National convention il for him, if possible. The
same is said to be true in Indiana and there il a
movement on foot to secure the second place on the
ticket for Senator Harrison of that State II is
tain that the Blaine element in the Republican party
is very active and watchfu ana i: woud not be
prsing to see the Maine Statesman again at the head
of the National ticket.
1T Is the small property Owner-the poor man
who will be hit hard if the city gets possession of
the Belt. When streets are opened he will have to
bear his proportion Of the expense, and If he fails
to to time his house and lot will be sold for the
assessment. Thousands of small houses in the Belt
have been built out Of building associations and
their owners, hundreds Of whom are laboring men,
are paying for them In weekly dues and to meet
these often causes them no little trouble. How
will it be with these if the Belt goes in 1t would
be well for them to carefully weigh this matter be-
fore casting their votes for city extension.

QUEER BIOGRAPHIES.
The Result Of Permitting Each Congress-
mat to Write His Own History.

Tho Result Of Permitting Each Congress-
mae to Write His Own History.
1t is well known that the Senator'S
and congressman write their own biog-
raphies that appear in the Congress
sional directory. This fact makes them
all the more interesting. The states
men are allowed in q general way, to
say what they please, but there are
plenty of instances where the compiler
of the directory has to do some pretty
thorough pruning in the way of guam
tity, and correction in the way Of tho
grammar and photography.
One Ar kansas Congressman wrote an
answer to tho usual request that would
have filled dozen pages of the direo-
tory. He gave the full history Of his
own and his wife's families, the char
acteristics of his children, the names of
the husbands and wives and children
of those married, and introduced sew
eral illustrated sketches in bear and
bee and coon hunting. He introduced
a poem on spring written by his second
eldest son. gave the names of two young
fellows, rivals for the hand of one of
his daughters named pink" and de-
scribed the distress he was suffering
over the question Of which she would
choose. The compiler cut the ''biog-
raphy" down to eighty lines.
Another member from Georgia de-
scribea among other things an inflic-
ton he had endured in the form of
skin disease, and named the patent
medicine manufactured in his State by
which he was cured, and advised all
his prospective brother Congressman
to use the same medicine If they be-
came similarly affected.
This advertisement was cut out, of
course, performance that cut the
Congressman off from a handsome
sum. probably, which he would have
received from the enterprising firm of
manufacturers of the "blood purifier"
A Kentucky Congressman once in
his biography described stock farm
owned by him, named the horses, gave
their pedigree. records and prices.
Another Kentuckian mentioned.
among other events of his eventful
life, the number of fights he had been
in,, and gave descriptions of two in
each Of which he had killed man,
and gave the names of the men he had
slaughtered:
One Ohio man gave the number of
sheep he owned. the fluctuations in the
prices of wool in an elaborate table
and introduced strong protest against
the reduction of the duty on wool, all
of which was sacrificed.
A Congressman from Iowa sent in
his biography in verse, and very bad
verse, too.
Another from the same State stated
that he was living separate from his
wife, but in detailed statement laid
all the blame upon her and appealed to
his brother Congressman to overlook
the matter, and to the Speaker not to
allow himself to De influenced by it in
assigning him to committees.
You can mako pretty fair estimate
of the men in Congress by their biogra-
plies, and it is al interesting thing to
look them over. Cincinnati Gazette.
