The Masonic Temple Burned.

The Masonic Temple, Baltimore, which is
on the east side of Charles street, between
Lexington and Saratoga streets, was nearly
DESTROYED by fire on Christmas afternoon.
The middle and rear of the interior of the
building were consumed. The four exterior
walls remain standing. The side and rear
walls are of massive brick masonry, and the
front is of white marble. Three stores on the
first floor were not touched by the fire, but
the stocks were damaged by water and falling
plaster. The entire loss of property is esti
mated at $l50,000. OF this 10000 was said
to be the loss on the building; SIC, 200 the loss
on scenery and furniture belonging to John
A. Forepaugh, the lessee of that part of the
building which was used as a theatrei $4,000
on scenery and properties of Gray and Stevens,
whose company was performing there this
week; 10000 on furniture and paraphernalia
Of the lodge and oommandery rooms; $4,000
on Masonic jewels and Templars' uniforms
and accoutrements; $22, 900 on the Masonic
library, and So, 900 on the stocks of the stores
on Charles street beneath the Temple. In
surance covers most Of the losses. The poll
cies on tho Temple amount to about 500, 900.
The lodges, chapters and Communicates had
their accessories insured, and jewels and uni
forms were in many cases insured by their
individual owners. Gray and Stevens, of the
the theatrical company, were not insured, nor
was Mr. Forepaugh. The fire was first seen
by the gasman, Harry Likes, among the upper
mechanism ofthe stage, at about u. 90 O clock,
The fire is supposed to have originated from
an electric wire in the false ceiling above the
stage in the theatre. Preparations were being
made for matinee, for which every seat was
sold. ST. paul's Episcopal Church, adjoining
the Temple, was filed with people, but the
congregation was quietly dismissed, and the
rector and vestrymen removed the valuables
of the church to place of safety.
Many valuable records Of the various
Masonic lodges were saved, though the loss
of some is greatly regretted, as they cannot
be replaced,

1.-The Man About Town." whose depart
ment is one of the most readable in the New
York Star, had this to say in reference to our
countyman, Mr.. Frank Brown, on December
10Th:
Crank Brown, of Baltimore, paid flying
visit to this city this week. A ferryboat
landed him at the foot of Cortlandt street at
Q in the morning, and at in the evening the
same boat started him on his homeward way.
The political career Of this big-boned, blue
eyed son of Maryland was practically begun
some four years ago, when exPresdent
Cleveland made him Baltimore's postmaster.
From the present complexion of Maryland's
politics there is no telling how and where this
career is going to terminate. Many things
now indicate that he will receive the next
Democratic nomination for Governor, which
in that classic home Of the Democracy is
equivalent to an election. His only opponent
is one of Baltimore s ex-mayors, Mr.. Hodges,
who has pencbant for making after dinner
speeches.
"Brown is man of the people. Twenty
years ago, for he has yet to celebrate his 44th
birthday, he found himself in Baltimore with
out reputation or money. Today his personal
possessions will foot up close to a million,
and he is one of the most popular men IN the
state Everybody in Maryland knows him,
and knows him well. He started as bank
clerk, and at this present writing the quality
and quantity of his crops, the size and condi-
ton of his blooded cattle, and the scope and
bearings of his financial transactions furnish
topics for discussion to men of all sorts.
Brown is a sort of perpetual surprise to the
easy going, conservative element Of his native
state A year or more ago he worked to a
successful result a unique scheme to attract
attention to Baltimore's resources and indus
tries, and to rekinde the slumbering interests
in the Pimlico racetrack. He called it the
Exposition, and for more than a week It's
muitifold attractions crowded the town with
strangers and filled the pockets of the local
merchants

for shooting at Joseph James, ut Melrose,
last July, made desperate assault with a
knife at o'clock last Friday afternoon on
VIM. II. Boyd. colored, of Freedom, who is
also serving "A sentence for assault. Three of
the colored men in Jail were walking up and
down the corridor singing. When they were
opposite Young's cell he sprang upon them,
catching hold of Boyd and commenced his
deadly assault by cutting a cash with a knife
from the elbow to the wrist, and across the
wrist on the right arm and another in the left
shoulder and neck about an inch from the
jugular vein. Boyd fought desperately to
release himself from his assailant and only
succeeded in doing so by forcing him into a
corner Of the Jail. He evidently would have
killed Boyd had he not succeeded in making
his escape. Boyd bled profusely and is
seriously wounded. DIR. j. II. Billingslea
was summoned and sewed up the wounds.
The sheriff gave Young his knife the day bo-
fore, on his plea that he needed it to cut

A webbing Financial Policy.
Louisville courIer.Journal.

When Senators in Congress break out with
the remarkable assertion that the monetary
striugency began with the Democratic triumph
at the Congressional elections, the utterances
of such men are entitled to no more serious
consideration than we would give to the
prattle of baby. Senator Hoar made him
self ridiculous by such talk. The money
troubles began twelve months ago. Secretary
Window exhausted the Treasury in the en-
deavor to give relief long before the Con
gressional elections were held. The people
of Massachusetts, should repudiate their rep
resentative who talks in such a manner. A
public man, even if he is Republican, should
have little respect for the truth.
