KILLED WHILE FIGHTING FIRE.
A Major and Sergeant of Artillery Were
the Victims.

the Victims.
QUEBEC May 16, 1sS9.-Early this morn
ing fire was discovered in vacant build
ing on ST. Waller street, st. Stauveur,
owned by Mrs. McCann, and quickly
spreading, soon assumed large dimen-
sions. The alarm caused great excite
ment, and the entire population of the
suburb was soon on the spot
The fire brigade of ST. Stauyeur was
wholly unable to cope with the flames,
which spread to st. Peter and Chenet
streets, and bade fair to entirely destroy
the village. sFB'' battery of artillery
was summoned to aid the firemen and
volunteers in fighting the flames, and by
seven o'clock the fire was under control,
having almost burned itself out.
While the military were preparing to
blow up some houses to check the fire
from spreading, q premature explosion
took place in one of the houses,
killing Major Short and Sergeant
Walleck, of B Battery, both men being
buried in the ruins Sergeant Walleck's
body was found near the door, dreadfully
mangled, but the body of Major Short
had not been recovered at nine O'clock
The fire covered large area and de-
stroyed over a hundred houses involving
loss of not less than 100000.
Later-The fire in st. Stauveur, which
had been checked ON the city side, has
started again in the other direction
and is now burning furiouSly
toward the northwest and will
probably stop only when there is nothing
left to feed it. There is a strong easterly
wind blowing and light rain has been
falling for the last three hours.

DIR. w. G. Anderson, who is preparing
them to introduce a thorough course in

Their exhibition of the results accom-
nlished from the previous lessons was
nretty and interesting, though just what

inmning up and down as though they
were in corn peppers (barring irregularity

They Fought for Fun.

Two printers, whom for short will call
"Loui" and ''Dege," started out for a
good time last evening. They visited
nearly all the saloons on their route, and
while engaged in drinking healths to each
other, the talk turned to
boxing. "Dege" insisted that he was
more expert than ''Loui, which the latter
denied. In order to settle the matter,
they visited the rooms of the Scottish
American Club, where permission to box
was granted them. Both are lively, ath-
letic young men, and for quarter of an
hour they treated the Scottlsh-Amerlcan ;al
tween novices in the fstic art ever seen
hereabouts, and at it's conclusion went off
arm in arm "Dege'' is said to have had
a shade the best of it.

WILL THE WARRANTS BE SIGNED.
City Comptroller Dickinson Refuses tC
Anticipate His Action.

Anticipate His Action.
There is a dead lull in new charter
matters today. Chief of Police Murphy
is satisfied that the relations he assumed
to the two Boards were governed by sound
Judgment, and declares that he had been
carefully advised before he took his stand.
He said incidentally while talked with
him, that even if the new charter be over
turned, which he does not anticipate, the
old Boards will be compelled by the
courts to reinstate him.
The points suggested in The JERSEY
CITY NEWS of yesterday as to the queS-
tions that may arise as to the pay OF the
men who are serving the old Board have
aroused enquiry on all sides among T. the ne
men. The Investigations made yesterday
showed that the pay warrants will be
passed by the new Board and signed by
the City Clerk. As tothe action that may
be taken concerning them by Colonel
Dickinson, the City Comptroller, to whom
they are sent from City Clerk Scott's
Office, no information was accessible yes
terday, because he was out of town. And
no information was accessible today, be-
cause he would not talk.
II have not considered the matter, be-
cause it has not come to me yet in such
shape that need to consider it, " he said.
81 will make up my mind when the time
comes"
Among the City Hall employees, how
ever, the impression is very general that
the Comptroller will refuse to put his
signature to the warrants when they
reach him. In that event a mandamus
may be asked. The courts alone can say
whether it will be given.
1t having been said that Counsellor
James B. Nredenburgh had given it as his
opinion that the new charter is constitu-
tfonal and will be sustained by the courts,
Mr.. Vredenburgh was sought this after
noon for an interview. Judge Garretson,
his partner, said that Mr.. Vredenburgh
had never given any opinion. Mr..
Vredenburgh was not in his office.

MAUSELL HIT HARD.
Judge Lippincott Gives the Hoboken
Forger Six and Half Years.

Forger Six and Half Years.
William C. Mausell, the Assistant City
Clerk of Hoboken, who pleaded
non vult to sixteen indictments
to forgery, was arraigned for SEN
tence this morning. The Court
said it was very sorry for him and his
wife and children, but the Court had its
duty to perform and without further
commenting on the case it would impose
the penalty.
Mausell was then sentenced to term of
six years and six months at hard labor in
State Prison on each of the indictments
IA, Is and 80. The terms will run to-
gether. Mausell's wife was not at Court,
nor had he any friend, so far as one
could judge by what occurred.
He received his sentence without
a tremor, and was sent back to the County
Jail with the other prisoners in the Gus
tody of the court officers The Sheriff has
by law ten days to deliver him to the
State Prison authorities.
When he reached the County Jail his
wife was there to greet him. There was
no scene, and she went directly to his cell
with him, where she remained several
hours.

Postmaster Kelly Removes His Offices
Into the New Building.
Postmaster Kelly has at last succeeded
in getting into the new wing of the Post

cable.

building has been given up to the car
riers for asserting their mails, thus
greatly relieving the cramped and ham
pered condition of that branch of the
service.
The money order and registered letters
offices have been removed from the
second floor to the ground floor of the
new building.s Mr.. Kelly proposes, as
soon as he is able to move the distributing
clerks into the new wing, and make other
improvements.
