A small blaze took place yesterday at
noon III the three-story brick block No.
20 Fifth street south. the upper stairs
of which are occupied as dwelling
apartments by f. S. Doane and Col. w.

servant, and, although it caused consid-
cradle smoke, was quickly extlnguished
by one of the chemical engines. The
furniture suffered to the extent of about

tinguish the flames. Mrs. Doane. who
is an invalid, found some difficulty in
getting out of the building, and when
she did finally get OH the sidewalk was

There were three commitments to the
insane asylum in the probate court yes
esterday. Orrin Grout, farmer fifty
years Of age, has been troubled with
his head for some time past. He was
committed about two years ago. but was
discharged as cured. His malady took
the form that he imagined himself a

standpoint. Peter Erickson has the un-
common allusion of thinking he is mar

SAVED FROM A CONvICTs CELL.
Executive Clemency Exerted to Save a

Executive Clemency Exerted to Save
Young Girl at the Prisons Door.
Governor Brown granted pardon at the
peniten tiary door recently which has back
of 1t romance. The person who barely
escaped the convict stripes was Josie
Roach, girl from Ohio County. She
was sentenced to two years for horse
stealing. The case is most remark
able one. Near Josie's home, one
mile from Fordsville, lived Elijah j. Grove.
a susceptible youth of eighteen. Elijah
fell in love with Josie and the at
tachment was reciprocated. Their parents
objected and they arranged an elOpement.
June 26th last they lett home and started for
Grayson County, intending to get married.
They walked to Fordsville, getting there
just in time to see the train pull out. Here
was dilemma. Looking down the road
they saw Elijah's father coming as fast as
he could run. Elijah saw horse bridled
and saddled. Quickly he mounted the ami
NAL and then lifted Josie up behind him.
They started toward Spring Lick, twelve
miles distant, and old man Grove was given
the slip. Darkness came on and they
stOpped out over night in haystack. The
next morning Grove went into the town
and sold the horse. That night the
news reached Spring Lick and the Sheriff
arrested Grove and the girl. They were
taken to jail, and on the trial it was proved
that Grove stole the horse and Josie was
an accessory. They were found guilty and
sentenced to two years in the penltentlary.
Just as the girl was entering the big stone
arch the Governors pardon was handed
her. The Governor says: Josie Roach,
white girl, from Ohio County, was this day
confined in the penitentiary under judgment
for horse stealing. The facts as represented
to me are that she was persuaded from home
under promise of marriage by one Grove.
who, on the trip they made. feloniously ap-
propriated a horse, which he sold for So
and gave Josie the money. She is only 10
years old. She was evidently under the in
fluence of Grove. and if she has violated
the law her youth and sex commend her to
executive clemency. Let her go and sin no
more. A pardon is granted. "-Frankfort

Is IT THE swell HEAD?

When the National Republican Commit
tee was about to hold its last session cor
respondent of the Chronicle forwarded the
information that there was much danger
that NJ. II. de Young would be forced to
accept the position of Chairman. De \ Dung
did not want the position, but through his
reporter he announced his Willingness to
accept il rather than see the grand old party
20 all to pieces. But the crisis passed and
the party was saved without the interven-
ton of NJ. ii. de Young. Another crisis is
now at hand. De Young himself says
through his evening organ, that nomina-
ton for the Weep Presidency of the United
States is now in hot pursuit of him. He
managed to evade it at Minneapolis, but he
has reason to believe that the nomination
still pursues him. The California delega-
ton which went to Washington in pursuit
of the Republican National Convention
know that Minneapolis is hard city to
down. If the Republicans OF the cyclonic
city have really set their hears on De
Young as Vice President he may as well sur
render A very sincere apprehension exists
that when De Young goes East again he
will discover a Republican conspiracy to
put him at the head of the ticket. Mean
time the report goes that he has sent his
man fTuay aneau 10 see II the hepuOllcanS
of Minneapolis may not be induced to make
a partial change in their Presidential
ticket. Much may be said in general way
in support of De Youngs aspirations. The
Pacific Coast has never had a President
neither have we had a Viee-President nor a
Cabinet officer. There are people inclined
to doubt if in recent years we have had
even United States Senator. The people
Of this Coast would be glad to see some
high Federal Office float this way, but are
not willing to pay too high a price for it.
The suggestion has been made more than
once that as the basis of his vaulting
political ambition De Young should seek an
Endorsement from the people. If he can
be elected to represent the election district
in which the old Cr0cker house stands, in
which De Young resides when in the city.
in the State Legislature, be might receive
considerable political enlightenment. If he
should be elected he could go East in search
of an office-not with more assurance than
he now exhibits, but with more chances of
success. De Young's brother, who is now
at Stockton, we are told looks about as
high as does our Mike, and it is possible
that his mind is about as sound in that

ELKISS GETS THE WAR DEPART
MENT.

The nomination of Stephen B. Elkins to
be Secretary of War is clearly not the best
that could nave been made. Mr.. Elkns is
smart politician whose exceptional smart
ness has at times led to misgivings as to his
integrity. The association Of Mr.. Elkins'
name with that of Mr.. Blaine has caused
portion of the Republican party to look
askance at the nomination of Blaine for the
Presidency. 1t is now stated that Mr.. FL
kins does not owe his appointment to be
Secretary to Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Blaine's es-
pecial friends will readily believe that Mr..
Blaine would not urge the appointment.
He would naturally prefer that it should 20

Thus ends the hope of the Pacific Coast to
have representative in President Harri-
sons Cabinet. The fault is partially our
own. The California member of the
National Committee naturally has some in
iuence with the President and 1t is well
known that this California member exer
cises his influence in favor Of anybody but
