A SMALL FIRE.
Two Men Barely EEcape suffoca-
ttOms


ttOms
A fire broke out last night about II
O'Clock in the store of w. Liebes & Co.,
No. 213 North Los Angeles street. It
was not discovered until it had got under
considerable hesdway, and the rear was
mass of flames when the fire depart
ment arrived. Two men who were
asleep in the upper story were awakened
by the smoke, and had just time to get
out in their nightclothes. They slid
down the awning poles in front of the
building. The fire was rather difficult to
get at, and finally had to be worked over
the back steps of the st. Charles Hotel,
which had narrow escape from catching
in the rear. The loss was estimated at
about $4,000, principally on the cigars
and liquors in Liebes' store. Liebes hsd
just moved into the store, and had not
yet arranged his stock, and probably was
not insured. The building belongs to Fl.
,. Barrows, and was partially insured.
There was no clue to the origin of the
fire.

began business in u modest way on
Eleventh street. By a skillful catering
to the public wants, by honorable deal
ing aud polite attention to customers,
the establishment has grown until now
it occupies two store houses from the
ground up. Recently 1t has been found
necessary for the family to seek other
quarters, 80 that the upper floors might
be devoted to business. Accordingly
the whole second floor has been given
up TO Cloaks, a fine stock OF which Is
now being displayed for the fall and

been drawn on TO furnish more room,

PECULIAR PROCEEDING,
Two Well Known Competent
Government Officials
HAVE THEIR HEADS CUT OFF
For the Reason Apparently That
They did Their Dpty--FayoFltIsm
Being Shown ut Washington,
Explanations In Order,

Yesterday Mr., O, +, Bachman, Super
intendent Of Repairs on the Custom
House building, received notice from
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Batcheller that his services would no
longer be needed, and that he was TO
turn over all Government property in
his possession to Mr.. Avery, Of Wash,
ington, D. o. This notice carries with
It also the removal Of Capt, Wash,
Baggs, clerk to the superintendent OF
Repairs, The change takes place to-day,
The explanation ,ot this summary
procedure is to be found in the per
sistent effort Of Mr., Bachman and
Captain Bags TO hold the contractors,
Messrs, Mcoarty & Baldwin, Of Wash.
ington, TO the specific terms Of their
contract, When the contractors began
the second course Of stone on the annex
Mr.. Bachmann objected on the ground
that the woFktWas not according 10 speci.
ications, The Treasury Department
sent Mr., Avery here toinspect the work,
which was ordered taken down and
done over according to specifications,
The contractors had begun 10 build the
door with lared jambs. Superintendent
Bachman objected, urging that the
specifications called for square iambs,
The Treasury Department sustained the
Superintendent and ordered the work
to proceed according to specifications,
The contractors went on building the
door with tlared iambs, and on this aC-
count Superintendent Bachman stop
ped the work on Wednesday night. On
Thursday, only one day later, the letter
was written removing superintendent
Bachman and his clerk.
Throughout this controversy with the
contractors Messrs, Bachmann and Baggs
have been In conference with Mr.. James
NJ, Todd, Mr., Bachmann's predecessor,
who laid out the work, and Architect
Wells, who drew the plans and specie-
cations, and these gentlemen endorse
the course Of Messrs, Bachmann and
Baggs Us necessary to the protection Of
the Government. The bid OF MCCarty
& Baldwin was less than $500 under that
OF Klevis, Kraft & Co., Of this city. The
Wheeling bid was based on an Intention
to live up to the terms OF the contract,
not on the consciousness OF an ability to
secure on short nltice the removal OF
such officers as the Government might
select to secure the faithful performance
Of contract obligations.
1t Is believed by those familiar with
the case that when the Treasury Depait.
ment comes 10 understand all the facts,
1t will take measures TO relieve itself Of
the scandal Of removing officers whose
i~aithiulness to their trust has made them
a stumbling block In the way OF contraC.
tors determined TO do Government work
as they please. The Treasury Depart
ment may be- all the more disposed odo
