Charley WYnne,s Horse

1t has been found, not as the Ex-
press glibly states, yesterday morn
ing, but yesterday afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock, at which time it was returned
to the owner, while the evening pa
pers were on the press. A negro man
who knew the horse was passing the
alley way leading to the campyard
back of Albert Krempkau's saloon,
just opposite to police headquarters,
about II O'Clock yesterday, and saw
and recognized the horse standing in
the yard. When he returned about
3 o'clock he told Charley Wynne and
that young gentleman proceeded to
claim his horse. The parties in the
campyard state that the horse had
been in the yard since the night be-
fore, having been ridden in there a
little after the time the robbery was
reported at police headquarters. The
horse had been standing within &c
yards of the police station for &c
hours.

A FataI Snow Slide.

SIERRA CITY, Cal, January A
fatal and destruction snow-slide oc-
Cured here yesterday by which six
women and a boy were killed, two
other people may die, and several
houses and the Catholic church were
wrecked. The slide commenced at
Sierra Buttes Flume and swept with
terrific force down the valley, carry
ing everything in its path. Stout
trees were snapped of at the ground
like pine sticks; the slide came with
out the slightest warning. 1t
is believed that Chinaman
and little girl are still buried
in the mass of snow and
debris. Fears are entertained that
another slide may occur any moment
and people are in great state of anX-
iety. AS soon as possible after the
slide yesterday number of men be-
gan work, digging out the unfortun-
aUes who had been caught in il, and
in a few hours had taken out the
bodies.
Heavy Rains--Trains Sidetracked
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 1.-The heavy rains
which have fallen in southeast Mis-
souri, and southwest Arkansas, have
put all the rivers of that region out
of their banks and large sections of
country have been overtlowed. The
railroads have suffered badly from
the washouts and bridges are being
carried away and traffic has been sns-
pended for two days. Five south
bound trains are stalled at Piedmont,
Mo-, on the Iron Mountain road, one
at Mill Spring, containing $50 passen-
gers and four are sidetracked be-
tween Poplar Bluff, Mo-, and
Knobel, Arkansas. There are also
both passenger and freight trains
strung along at other parts of the
road and passengers have had to de-
pend upon the country stores and
roadside boarding houses for food.
No loss of life has been reported, but
there has been great destruction to
property, not only in Missouri and
Arkansas, but in Texas and Louisi-
ana, where the rains have been very
heavy. 1t is expected the trains will
move on the Iron Mountain and Cot
ton Belt roads today and tomorrow.

THE Mississippi legislature is to
wrestle with the question of an edu-
cational qualification for suffrage
privilege. 1t is proposed to submit
the matter to a constitutional conven-
ton. A limitation of the suffrage in
all the states of the south by some
educational qualification is very much
to be desired. If Mississippi sets the
example other states will follow. The
man who cannot read his own ballot
and sign his own name is hardly ripe
for the full privileges of American
citizenship.

At the Theatre.

The Grand Opera house was not
filled by any means, last night, to
welcome Town Lots" company. The
play is so full of vaudeville business
and horse play that what real comedy
there is in it is spoiled. 1t is a play
that could be made very pleasing if
handled properly, and Mr.. Ross Snow
is very clever eccentric comedian,
but there is little call for variety
songs and dances, slang and "tough"
business, although such stuff usually
delights the gods in the gallery.
However, all are not gallery gods, and
they expect to see something better
than travelling vaudeville combina-
ton when they attend a frst-class
theatre. 1--WE, Us and Company" are
billed to play at this house tomorrow
night.

Two Actors are Beaten for Playing the
Good Samaritan Part.
Actor Edward Murphy, of the Globe
Theatre (Bowery), and his brother John,
singer employed at the Washington
Street Concert Garden, were two ill-used
looking individuals in Justice Stilsing's
Court this morning. Edwards face was
abnormally swollen and studded with
bruises and gashes, and Johns right eye
was decorated with vari-tinted shadows.
Both men were assaulted at half-past
two O'Clock this morning in front of Fox's
saloon, in the Commercial Building, by
James Farrell, alias Madden and james
McGlone, OF No. II York street, two
uoughs, according to Johns story, who
were trying to rob drunken sea captain.
The captain had become suspicious of the
men while drinking in the concert gar
den on Washington street, and had called
his hotel. The two toughs followed the
trio into Fox's saloon, where the captain
had invited his two escorts to drink on
his way to the hotel. Then Madden and
McGlone commenced row and the pro-
prietor put them out of his saloon.
As soon as the two actors appeared Ed
ward was knocked down and kicked
about the sidewalk like football. John
was also knocked down, but tripped up
his assailant and ran up the street, where
he met Acting Sergeant Hopkins, who
with Patrolman Bromwell captured the
assailants and locked them up. Nobody
knows what has become of the jolly sea
captain.
Madden and McGlone were committed
for trial on the charge of atrocious as

FIRE AT PATERSON.
Ten Thousand Rounds of Ammunition
Shot Off in a Burning Armory.

Ten Thousand Rounds of Ammunition
Shot OFF in Burning Armory.
PATERSON, Feb. s, 1890 Ten Thousand
rounds of ammunition were exploded at
Paterson last night, to the danger and
surprise of the people there. The am
munition was in the armory, which
was destroyed by fire While a
ball was In progress at Washington Hall
at about one O'Clock a man discovered a
ire in McGeorge's soda water factory be-
meath the ballroom and like an idiot
ram among the dancers shouting
fire" He succeeded in creating q
panic that is remarkable because
no lives were lost. Women tainted and
men fought to make egress, and for a
few moments a terrible struggle took
place. A few cool heads picked up the
women who had tainted, and wnen the
cowardly gang that struggled to pass
through the doors succeeded, they carried
the women out.
AS the last man left the ball room the
flames burst forth. They spread to Burke
Brothers photograph. gallery ana Hilps
confectionery store. Next Boyle Brothers
factory and new frame dwelling took
fire.
The flames extended to the armory, and
when the powder was reached fusillade
took place such as Paterson never saw
DeIore. Inc nre was over by three O'Clock
in the morning, and Washington Hall
was bed of ashes.
Fireman James Lindsey fell from the
roof OF Howe's Photographic gallery and
was seriously injured.
Washington Hall, on the ground floor,
was occupied by a large number of busi-
ness men, and the upper floors were de-
voted to lodge room and armory. The
tenants who lose heavily by the fire
are:-
Burke Bros, meat market; Mr.. Hill,
confectioner; Newels, vegetables;
Beuwkes, jeweller; Straus, hardware;
Swinley, soda water; McGeorge, baking
powder; Samual Lucas, yelling manufac-
turer; the Board of Trade; Ivanhoe Chap
ter, Humboldt Chapter, Knight Templars,
and the Paterson Caledonia Club.
The Boyle Bros. building, which was
also burned, was occupied by John r.
Garrabrant and Louis Van Wagner
Howe's photograph rooms were also
Quilted.
Washington Hall was constructed
several years ago by syndicate of citi-
zens and cost about $150, 900. For some
time it was used as market building
and called Washington Market. The
venture was unsuccessful and the apart
ments were rented to storekeeDers and
manufacturers. Katz Bros, the brewers.
q short while ago purchased the building
for $50 000
