Reformers Who Didn't Reform.

At the meeting held to organize the
new movement Mr.. Parkerson and the
other speakers admitted that many of the
reformers whom they elected to Office
three years ago had become corrupt, but
they said they did not propose to give up
the fight for reform on that account, but
to try again. 1t is thought that the
ticket to be nominated by the association
will receive the support of the Repub-
lioans and of the anti-lottery Democrats
in case the lottery wing controls the

An alarm was pulled in from box five
about 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t was
caused by fire in the large wooden block of
two dwellings located on Free street just
above Centre, and next to the old Goddard
mansion. The building was formerly the
Hezekiah Winslow place. The building it.
self was not burned great deal, but it was
thoroughly soaked down with water, the
parlors in each house having several inches
of water on the floors before it was swept
out. The fire caught from a defect in the
chimney, into which the tunnels of the cook
ing stoves in the kitchens of each house en-
ter, and the flames ate through the parti-
tions of both houses, making a nasty and
stubborn fire for the firemen to fight. 1t was
5 o'clock before the ''all out" was sounded.
The houses are owned by Edward Pierce.
He paid John w. Lane $500 for the houses
and d.H land ..J MI. p N: Rand Is agent for Mr.;
thought the property was well insured with
Warren Sparrow.
The lower house was occupied by Mrs.

han. Mrs. Connolly has an insurance of
$1,000 in the Niagara on her furniture. and it
is understood that Mrs. Hallihan has $1,000
on her furniture. The greater part of the
furniture was got out. Both Mrs. Connolly
and Mrs. Hallihan had boarders but it was
stated that their losses were covered by their
several assurances.

the residence of Tristram Stevens on Neal
street was entered by burglars and the sum
of $45 was stolen from the servant girls
room. The robbery was evidently the work
of someone familiar with the house and also
with the fact that the sum of money was
there, as nothing else was disturbed in the
least. The girl was to be married in a few
