A BRISK BLAZE.

Destruction Oft Barn and Contents
Three horses Rurned Alive
Shortly after $3.50 this afternoon she
house and in o few moments the hose
was laid from the hydrant on the corner
of4sh and Cedar, to the burning barn at
the back of Michel Rsistet's property on
Broad wny between Fourth aud Fifth.
Though several streams of water poured
like a deluge on the building, the hames
had takeu such hold On the boards that
hero was no chance OF saging the struo-
ture. The chief object was to prevent
the fire from spreading to the surround
Ing structures, and in this our well
trained fremen succeeded almost beyond
expectation, for the high wind blowing
from the north carried clouds
sparks before it. In less than twenty
minutes from the time the alarm was
given the fire had been completely sub
dued. The barn was owned by Michael
! Reister and at the time OF the
Il uf6 CUAbHtucA WV AStcCDs ~ nv
property OF MIR. Wilitster, and one
belonging to Mr.. WaIster, both farmers
living ten miles out In the country. All
three animals were burned to death. On
| this occasion as on all similas OCCASIONS
| when the fire company could get @ sup
ply OF water TO play on the flames the
boys did nobly. and it is little short of
miraculous that the flames we're confined
to the building in which they originated
and even a portion OF that was saved.
| The supposed cause Was the careless
knocking OF the ashes from q pipe by
some one in the barn. This property
was purchased recently by |. Piles, ). P.
Orennan and f. Nj. Ziebach, but the
deed has moi yet been signed, Mi.
Reister being in Europe.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-The result of
the Jacllson-McAuliffe fight last night was
great surprise to large part of the sport
ing fraternity here and there is no doubt
that the admirers Of the Californian lost a
large amount money, as wonderful inter.
est has been taken in the contest and
betting has been very heavy with large
odds in McAuliffe's favor. McAuliffe was
out fought from start to finish and through
out the whole fight did not succeed in Civ
ing Jackson blow which had any telling
effect, though he aimed number Of
powerful ones at the dusky Australian
which would have brought the contest to
sudden close it they had reached the mark.
Jackson was recognized as good man,
but q great majority of the spectators were
unacquainted with his wonderful quick
ness as well as science and hard hitting
powers. Jackson came out of the contest
almost without a scratch while McAulitfe
was badly punished. Among his injuries
being a broken nose. President Fuller of
the California Athletic club received dis
patch from Charlie Mitchell yesterday
Stating that Jake Kilrain would fight the
winner OF the Jackson -McAuliffe fight and
that he would wager from 5000 to $500 in
addition to the club purse.

the wagon and drove to the park and
placed the bags in the pipe, where they
were found late the same day by some

senate and House Bills.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Under an agree
ment made respecting the tariff bill the
senate will meet tomorrow at IL o'clock a.
m. and continue so to do until a vote is
taken on the passage of the bill. After all
miscellaneous business is disposed of the
consideration OF the tariff bill will be re-
sumed and it will have right CT way over
all other measures till action is taken on
the 2lst inst. Chandler gave notice the day
before the holiday recess that Immediately
upon reassembling would call up his reso- :
leges to investigate the general or state
elections in Louisiana and Rhode Island,
held within the past year, and to investi-
gate the general election in any other state
If the committee may deem it necessary or
desirable. That resolution will therefore
come up tomorrow, but opposition will in
ailprobability cause a postponement, of it's
consideration at least until the tariff bill
is out of the way. Tbeprospects are that
when the house meets tomorrow morning,
after holding recess, it Will Immediately
proceed to the consideration of some OF the
appropriation bills now on the calendar.
The river and harbor bill, reported to the
house Dec. 12, has right of way of the ap-
preparation bills and Chairman Blanchard
first thing tomorrow. He intends to push
its consideration and will try to secure an
early vote upon it. The unfinished busi-
ness is the bill to incorporate the Nicarau-
qua Canal company, which has been favor
s.bly reported to the house with the amend
ments from the committee of the whole.
The friends of the bill will call it up Fri
day any try to secure vote on it. Should
opportunity offer this week Mr.. Crisp, from
the committee on elections, will call up the
South Carolina contested election case of
Smalls versus Elliott. The settlement OF
this case will leave only one other contest
to be disposed of-that of Sullivan versus
TiItOn, of California.

The choicest flowers were placed in the
blue parl0r, where the receiving party
stood, but the most elaborate floral decora-
tions were in the east room. where the
visitors spent q few minutes in social con-
verse, after having paid their respects.
The mantels were banked with bright
hued flowers and festoons of grasses and
ferns which were suspended from large
schandalitrs. Tall palms were placed in
; the windows, recesses and in the corners
and tropical plants Of all kinds lined the
corridors running through the center of the
house. "A large divan in the east room was
5Ornamented with beautiful vases con tain-
ing large palms of different hues. Part of
the lower floor was Illuminated by gas,
but tile sunlight was given full play in the
east room. The weather was bright, sun
shining and cool, and in fact, everything
was most auspiclOuS. The reception began:
al II u clock. at which hour the receiving:
parry descended Tie stairs and took their
places in the blue parlor. AS they ap-
