Special 10 the Standard.
WAsmSGToS, Dec. 2l.-Henry Cabot
Lodge is thinking seriously of making the
acquaintance of Carter, because Carter
stole a march on the Massachusetts
statesman. Several days before the re-
publicans of the house met In caucus TO
elect a successor to Postmaster Wheat q
candidate for the office called 10 see
Lodge aud requested Lodge to support
him for the position. In reply Lodge said
he was sorry he could do nothing
for him as he had promised the
postmastership of the house to Hosmer,
the assistant postmaster, and he advised
the candidate 10 withdraw, saying that
Hosmer would secure the place. The can
didate had great respect for Lodges word
and did withdraw, believing that Hosmer
was as good as elected.
But Carter had a candidate and very
quietly went TO work and secured pledges
from nearly every delegation whose state
had no candidate. The result was that
Lodge could not keep his promise. Cart
er's candidate, Hathaway, was elected by
an overwhelming majority. of course II
Lodge had been on hand TO inform the
caucus that he had promised the place
that would have settled IL.

His First Trip to Town.

From the New York Ledger.
Abner Dungrass. from away up beyond
the White mountains, had penetrated 10
the Hub. TWAS Abner's first visit TO the
city; in fact, his first trip away from
home.
A relative doing business in the metrop-
oils had spent the previous summer with
Abner's parents, and, in return for many
kindnesses, he bad invited his friends Of
the country farm 10 visit him in his city
home.
And thus Abner chanced 10 he in Bos.
ton, and was now dining at a hotel with
his host.
Al first our countryman hardly knew
what 10 do with himself at the wondrously
laden table. His relative, observing his
hesitation, whispered to him:
"Don't be back ward, Abner; help your
self TO just what you like.n
By and by a gentleman sitting opposite
directed waiter TO bring him a plate OF
ice cream.
The cream was brought and the gentle
man set IL down before him, while he iln-
ished a dish Of scallops. Abner looked up
aud saw the delicate.looking mass in tie
plate hot far away. Ii was tempting, and
he reached forth and took il. He had put
a spoonful of the frozen mixture into his
mouth, and was hesitating between sur
prise and delight, when the gentleman OPP
posite rather abruptly and not very pleas
antly, spoke;

THREE MILLION ACRES
A Story That Ten Thousand Nor

Are Going to Quit Utah for
Another Country.

PITrsBuRG, Dec. 2l.-A special from
Lima. Ohio, says: b. c. Paurat, a we'll
known banker OF this city and who is also
president Of the Columbus, Lima a North
western railroad and is largely interested
in railway enterprise in Mexico. returned
home from New York this afternoon and
announces the consummation OF deal
with John W. Young, the eldest son OF
Of the late Brigham Young, whereby they
will come into possession OF 3,Oo,Oo
acres OF land which was granted in his

A BOWL OF KEROSENE.
Suspicious Circumstances Attending Fire
In West Quartz street


BY the Standard Special Wire.
BUTTE, Dec. 2l.-It was about o'clock
this evening when some one passing along
West Quartz street discovered frame
building, opposite the brigade house, to
be on fire inside. An alarm was turned
in from the box at the corner Of Main
street and was responded TO by the de-
partment and the brigade. By the time
the firemen arrived the entire interior Of
the building appeared TO be mass Of
flames. A couple Of streams were
soon playing OF the fire, which
was speedily extinguished. The building
was only slightly damaged by FIRE,
but the contents were completely ruined
by water. The house was lined with
cloth aud the principal damage done by
the fire Is in the front room, where the
lining was entirely destroyed. How the
fire originated N not known, as no one
was in the building at the time.
Miss Campbell occupied the building as
boarding house and was at church
when the fire broke out. She Is unable
TO state the exact amount of her loss, but
thinks IL will not be very large, as she
carried insurance 10 the amount Of 500
on the furniture, wearing APP
parel, etc. A. W. Barnard
owns the building, and his
loss is fully covered by insurance. Miss
Campbell is Of the opinion that the fire
started in the sitting room in which
stove stood, the pipe OF which entered a
chimney only lew inches below the cell
ing. She thinks the lining OF the ceiling
became detached and fell onto the pipes,
something that has occurred before.
Facts have come 10 light that make Il
appear very much as though the fire was
the result Of well planned attempt
at incendiarism, After the fire
had been extinguished and the
hose taken up, FIRE Marshal Jordan
made an inspection Of the premises, his
suspicious having become aroused that
everything was not as IL should be. tie
began search IN "A small pantry under
the stairway leading 10 the second story,
in which considerable fire had been
found without any apparent cause Tor its
origin. Underneath the floor he found a
china dish, something similar 10 soup
bowl, filled with kerosene, and com
pletely enveloped in bundle OF newspa-
pers, partially burned. The bowl with
Its contents aud portions of the burned
papers were taken 10 the engine house
| FOR future use. Other evidence that the
fire was the result OF design existing the
marshal is still carrying on his examina-
ton and thinks he will be able 20 nnd

NEW YORK, Dec. 2l.-When Signor
Succi arose from sleep to-day after
a long slumber, which he fell into soon
after his feast ended last night, an elab-
crate meal was placed before him. He
ate with extraordinary relish chicken
soup, fried smelts, fried calves brains,
quail on toast, fruit, confections, ice
cream, and a pint each Of Barors ex.
tract and Grand Sec. Succi occupied
two hours consuming the food. He never
faltered, but ate with a zest that puzzled
even George Francis Train, who was
present. Julian Hawthorne and the poet
Stephen Massett were also present when
the faster dined. At the conclusion OF
the meal Succi was presented with a
handsome toothpick, and soon thereafter
retired for nap preparatory to a trip 10
Boston where he goes TO exhibit himself

CHRISTMAS IN CONGRESS.
Neither Senate or House Expected q
Accomplish Anything This Week.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2i.-lt is unlikely
that any positive legislation will be
achieved by congress this week, and fail.
ure 10 take the usual holiday recess is not
expected 10 result in any measurable
advancement Of public business. In the
senate the election bills willprobably con-
sumo the first three days of the week.
Possibilities Of an interruption hinge
altogether upon the result Of negotiations
now in progress among the republican
senators upon the subject of the caucus
financial bill. II an harmonious under
standing TO support this measure is
reached, the elections bill may be laid
aside in its favor and discussion in the
senate will turn on financial matters until
the day before Christmas, when il is ex-
pected q recess will be taken until Mon
day.
II is probable that successive adjourn
ments for two or three days at time will
lnnrk the COURSE of the house during the
Christmas holiday season. No business
Of importance is expected 10 be done as
SO many members have left Washington
for home that quorum can hardly be-
secured. Monday is District Of Columbia
day, and the house will probably pass
upon local legislation until some measure
Is proposed upon which vote is de-
manded and the absence OF quorum is
thereby disclosed. Such other days in the
week as the house is IN session will prob
ably be devoted TO comparatively unim-
portant measures.
