lie is InsoIent to Ladies aud SETS Fire
to House.

Herman Schwartz is indebted to the
Durant hose company for what is left of
his dwelling Immediately east of Crow
creek on lower Sixteenth street. The
alarm of fire was turned in at 9 O'Clock
last evening.
A malicious tramp started the fire in
the cottage, which, however, was almost
valueless.
A fe minutes before the blaze a beg
ging tourist applied at the residence of
Sam Brown, adjoining the destroyed
building, Tor aid. He was refused assist
ance and noticing that Mr.. Brown was
absent, he became i~nsolent to the wife
and a young lady visitor. The latter be-
thought herself Of Mr.. Browns two dogs,
and called to them, but the animals were
up town with their master. The door
was closed in the tramp's face, but the
ladies were pretty nervous and undecided
upon a plan OF campaign against the
man.
In a few minutes Mrs. Brown thought
something was burning in the vicinity and
communicated her suspicion to her com.
panion. They looked u the window
and discovered the next house-only q
few feet awaY-in flames.
At this juncture Mr.. Brown appeared
and after looking to the safety of hi.
owb place, sounded the fire alarm.
The tramp disappeared.

this may be said in regard to the candidates:
The Democrats seem to have tried to select
the worst possible candidates; while the Re-

good as possible. Each party has made
few slips. The Republicans, however have
tried to rectify theirs. In eleven of the four

three Objectionable Republican candidates
are opposed by respectable candidates of the

Now that the elections in the new
states are determined, we can form
some idea of the status of congress.
The senate will stand 45 Republicans
to 80 Democrats, a Republican ma
iority of six. OF the senators to be
elected in 1891, the Democrats have
chance to gain in California,
Nevada and New York, while the only
chance of a loss is in Ohio. Should
they make these gains and hold Ohio,
the senate will be a tie; If Ohio is lost,
the Republican majority will be two.
In 1893, the Democrats have chances
IN Michigan, Nevada, New York and
Rhode Island, and 10 chance of los
ing a seat There are, therefore,
probabilities Of having a Democratic
senate in the next three or four years,
and no prospects of larger Republi,
can majority than at present.
The house, with the new members,
will have on the face Of tho returns
l60 Republicans to l6l Democrats, a
slender majority of 8, which will give
the Republicans all the responsibility
of legislation without the control they
need to carry through any partisan
measures,
