Fires at Freedman's Hospitai.

Two fires occurred at the Freedman's hospital
yesterday afternoon at $50 o'clock. Their ORR
gin is shrouded in mystery. After the fire de-
partment had succeeded in extinguishing the
flames of the first fire discovered in the base
ment and were getting ready to leave one Of
the inmates gave an alarm that there was
another fire on the fourth foor Chief Paris
and his men repaired to the scene and found
that another fire really did exist, separate and
distinct from the fire in the basement, with
which it could have no possible connection. This
fire was extinguished after some trouble. MANY
persons are of the impression that the building
was set afire. In conversation with a STAR
reporter today Chief Paris said: II am I'M
able to account for the two fires, as l could see
no possible way in which they could have caught.
i think that the matter is very mysterious and
should be investigated" Fire Marshal Drew
was sent to the scene this morning by Chief
Paris and will make a full report This is the
third fire that has occurred at the Freedman's
hospital within four months and in each case
the origin was unknown

HE Is WANTED IN BOSTON.
Thos. Scott, the Revolver Thief, Said 4
be Tim Shea, Crook From the Hub.

When the man who gave bis name as Thomas
Scott was arrested last week by Policeman Quin-
Ian for stealing s75 worth of revolvers from
Patrick Connelrs store, No. 47s Pennsylvania
avenue, it was thought that the prisoner was
an expert thief and the authorities in other
cities were given a description of him. A
reply came from Boston that he answered the
description OF Tim Shea. who was under in
dictment there. A jewelry store was robbed in
that city by smashing the window with
piece of iron, aud Shea was the al
legged missing member of the gang OF
burglars. A photograph of Thomas Scott
was sent to Boston, and last night Inspector
Swindelis received word from that city that the
prisoner is Tim Shea and they want him there,
as he is under Indictment.

DISCUSSING THE LIEN LAW.
Representatives Of Working and Mate
fial Men Before the mmissioners4

The rsorganzed board Of District Commits
sionsrs held their FIRST meeting this afternoon
70 discuss House bill ASA, to amend the me-
chanics' lien law. The amendment
proposed 10 a. follows: Sec. s. That
the lien hereby given shall be preferred to all
Judgments, mortgages and deeds Of trust, liens
and other membranes which attach upon
SAID building or ground aforesaid, subsequent
to the fling of the notice prescribed BY the
second section Of said act Of July, 1884. and all
membranes and liens (other than those which
attach thereto prior 10 the filing Of said no.
,,eeo' which by the laws of this Dis
"a Sic' are required to be record
time unless recorded prior to the date Of filing
OF said notice." Messrs. S. c. Neal, Paul I.
BOWEN Samuel Ross and I. W. smith were
present; representing the material and working
posed amendment
THE MATERIAL MEN.
MIR. Ross explained the effect OF the amend
ment and how il would affect the persons fur
nishing labor and material by allowing deeds
OF trust to take priority over hens. Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Bowen aud MIR. Neal also expressed SINH
lar views
Mr.. Hine said that he did not care much
about protecting the material men; that they
"cto smatt enough 70 pfotectthemselyes. He
said that he was anxious to protect the me-
chanic who worked on the building. He asked
II thirty days after the completion Of the build
ing wouldn't be long enough to file hen.
THE MECHANIC.
Mr.. Bowen replied that he didn't think it
was enough; that the present time was not
longer than was necessary, and that the work
ingmen were not protected as much as builders
Mr.. smith said that he didn't care to dis
cuss the merits Of the case, but would limit his
remarks to the present proposed amendment
for the reason that il deprived the material
men Of their rights under the present law. He
said that il this amendment was passed it
would have the effect Of making them feel
uneasy as to when and how they
were to get their pay, while under
the present law they felt perfectly secure and
that all material furnished to buildings would
be paid for, and that being the fact the mate
rial men bid much lower now than II
they had no lien protection; that in his opinion
material would advance 20 per cent the day
that the proposed amendment passed. He said
be hoped the Commissioners would report
adversely on the bill.
Col. Robert took an active part in the dis
cussion. The Commissioners will take the mat
ter under Amusement and report to Congress at
an early date.
