by illness. The outcome of the confer
ence was chiefly decision to call the
committee in charge of the bill together
again in the morning. The addi-
tional members of this COM
mittee were appointed by Speaker
Sirman this morning, who, in apparent
discourtesy to Mr.. Richards, the mover
of the second enlargement, passed over
that members name, and appointed
Mr.. Ridgeley in his stead. A moditica-
ton of the bill, in printed form, was
brought down this evening and will
very probably be submitted to the COM
mittee. This modification differs from
the original chiefly in that IL omits the
date (January 20th) of organization Of
the new board, and contains blank for
the names Of the commissioners to be
filed in by the legislators. The terms
of office are also left blank, as well as
their compensation; the controller is
called the County Auditor, and his du-
ties are somewhat curtailed, but his veto
power on bills is retained without any
provision for an appeal therefrom. This
omission, as well as the evident lack of
something in Section IL, to make that
part of the modified bill read coherently
and consecutively, suggests that there
has been some hurry and oversight in
putting the measure into new dress.

The Town Narrowly Escapes COnhagra-
gration--Averted Only by the Heroic
Work Of Citizens.
Special Cszesprnience OF Gazette and journal
MILFORD, Jan. 27.-The business por-
ton of this town had another miracu-
lous escape from destruction by fire last
night. About $50 o'clock the stables
belonging to the Central Hotel, and To-
Gated in the rear of the hotel and on the
northern bank Of the Mispillion river,
were discovered to be on fire by the
chief clerk, Harry Sattertield, who inn
mediately gave the alarm. The citizens
responded with great promptness, but
the hay and light feed in the loft was n
seething mass of flames in very few
minutes. The horses and carriages were
gotten ont without injury.
The burned building is located not 30
feet from the very business centre and
less than 90 feet from another stable,
owned by Mrs. Ruth Carlisle, which is
Immediately adjoining out-buildings at
tached in the rear Of Jumps Block. The
crowd realized the danger of the stable
owned by Mrs. Carlisle, and as soon us
possible were trying to keep it wet. The
excessive heat, however, got the best of
them at one time, and it was only by
the desperate efforts Of the men that il
did not get beyond their CONTROL They
managed TO save ii, though the roof was
burned off in many places.
While the stable in question was in
such danger the ice-house Just across
a small driveway ut the north end of
the burned stable caught fire and
burned. II threatened the liquor room
of the hotel which is less than 20 feet
from the ice-house. This now seemed
TO be the most dangerous point as the
flames were leaping in that direction,
although there was no wind, it being
perfectly calm. Nearly the entire force
Of men now turned their attention
TO this point as it meant the most
disastrous fire that was ever seen in this
town should the building ignite, as it
was filled with liquors of every descrip-
ton. Two lines of men with buckets
were formed reaching to the river nearly
70 yards of, and they with the help Of
two lines of hose attached to force
pumps, kept the side of the exposed
building wet, thereby saving it.
The flying sparks ignited the roofs OF
several buildings in the square but they
We're kept wet and did not gain any
Roadway.
The total loss will amount to fully
$500, upon which there is an insur-
ance of 81 500.
1t appears that it was only and act of
Providence coupled with the tireless
efforts Of the 300 men who fought the
flames that saved the town. Nearly all
the occupants of The Jump block moved
their goods out into the street. The
origin Of the fire is unknown. The
great need of water works and fire APP
pratus is now manifest TO every citizen.

8 salSer Reeds Ruling on Reorganization
Sternly Denounced.

Sternly Denounced.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The appro-
val of the journal in the House to-day
occupied half an hour.
Mr. Springer (ll.,) rising to a ques-
ton of privilege offered resolution re-
citing that yesterday on the yeas and
nays on the previous question on APP
proving the journal the recapitulation
of the votes had been dispensed
with without unanimous eonsent-that
Mr. Tracey IN. W had demanded the
recapitulatiun; that the Speaker had de-
clined TO order recapitulation; that Mr..
Bland (Mo.) had appealed from the de-
cision and that the Speaker had refused
to entertain the appeal and declaring
that this action Of the Speaker was un-
lawful and If permitted to go uncon-
demned by the House would permit the
precedent to go with the apparent APP
proval Of the House.
Mr.. Mckinley (Ohio) made the point
of order that the resolution was not a
privileged one, the Speaker having exer-
cised his right under the rules to decide
a motion to be dilatory.
Mr.. Springer claimed that the only
safeguard member had to see that his
vote was correctly recorded was in the
recapitulation, and, never, in the history
Of the country until yesterday had the
right TO demand recapitulation been
denied.
Mr., Breckenridge tArk.) took the
same ground and said that if the usurp-
ton of power were permitted to go un-
checked and unrebuked it would strike
a blow at the root of the integrity Of the
proceedings of Congress.
The Speaker did not think that the
action Of the clair in deciding motion
to be out of order on the ground that it
was dilatory could be made question
Of privilege. If it could be, then the
purpose of the rule preventing dilatory
motions was nugatory. He sustained
the point of order.
