Another act was given here in the Sachs
drama today before rather small audi
ence. Judge Sachs and those who opposed
him at the trial never speak as they pass
by, and trouble has been anticipated by
the two factions for some time. This fore
noon Judge Rhode. the city magistrate,
was one of the attorneys III civil action
before Judge Sachs. Rhode filed a motion
to dissolve certain attachment in case
and started to argue motion and cite refer
ences. He was interrupted by Judge
Sachs, who Immediately overruled the
motion. This angered Rhode, but he
said nothing till Judge Sachs began
to explain the ruling to him. Then Judge
Rhode said: "This court will please do me
the favor not to talk to men In an instant
Judge Sachs was almost in rage. He
suppressed his feelings, however, and after
examining the statutes for few minutes
turned to the clerk and said: "Mr. Clerk,
III the case of - VS.. you will insert
on the records the following: william J.
Rhode, an attorney of this court, is guilty
of contempt in this, that he did say to the
court in an insolcnt manner, don't you
talk to me, and he is fined $50 therefor"
The affair has created intense feeling
among the attorneys, but to outsiders it
has its amusing aspect, particularly as
Rhode is the city police judge.

night at q fashionable house of assigna-

stairs with crowd of young men in the
front parlor, when one of them exclaimed,
"There goes someone upstairs!' Lottie
opened the door at once and ran out. Just
as she reached the head of the stairs she
saw the form of man going from the
upper hallway into vacant room. Fear
ing to follow him alone, she called the
girls, and some of the men went upstairs
at once, the other men going out of the
front door ON the double quick. When
Lottie opened the door Of the room in
which she had seen the stranger rush, the
window was open and the man was Just
sliding to the roof Of an adjacent building,
which he had reached from the vcranda.
Thinking for . moment that the object
OF the visitors presence was robbery, they
all started looking around to see If any
thing was missing. Presently there was
very strong smell of smoke, and it was
discovered that huge wood box in the
dining-room was all ablaze. The fire was
soon put out. 1t had been built of dry
wood piled carefully around some scraps
of paper, and could have been none other
than the work Of an incendiary The
police were at once notified, and were
given as accurate description of the man
seen leaving the house as possible. Lottie
Mansfield says she did not see his face at
all. He wore a light overcoat and black
Derby hat Up to this hour no trace of
him has been discovered.
Had No. 123 been burned the whole of
Dupont street would also probably have
gone, as there are scarcely any buildings
on it except frame shacks. 1t is the sport
