Suit Against Ex-Governor Church.


An amended complaint has been filed in the
court OF Snohomish county in the suit of
Matthew Gasser against Ex-Governor L. T.
Church, of Dakota, and E. D. Smith, we'll known
on the Sound Gasser charges that that the de-
PENDANTS entered into a conspiracy to defraud
him OF the proceeds OF the sale of land at Port
Gardner, in the deal of which all three were in
terssted. 1t is shown that 53l acres were bought,
and 1t develops that Smith sold 23l acres of the
land and still holds 800. He is sued By Gasser
for specific performance of his contract, and the
latter stands ready to accept the land and pay
the original price agreed on. Church is sued
for $4,000 damages, Gasser alleging that he Ia
out that much in being prevented from securing
all of the land. The 800 acres still held by Smith
are estimated to be now worth between s225, 900
and 100000, consequently large fortune is at
stake in the suit

The recent election In Mississippi was the last
election, excepting that for the choice of presi.
dental electors in 1892 which will be held until
the autumn Of 1895. The new constitution
makes the term of state and county officers four
years. The convention which framed the con-
stitution also adopted an ordinance which ex-
tended the term of the governor and other state
officers who were chosen In 1889 until January
l, 1896, 80 that no such officials were voted for at
the recent election. Members of the legislature
were chosen this month, whose term will also
last until the beginning of 1896, and the same Is
true of the county officers just chosen. In other
words, no election is to be held in Mississippi
for governor or other state officers. members of
the legislature or county officers until four
years from this month. This is the longest
period OF freedom from elections ever known in
any commonwealth Of this Union, since the gov
ernor and other state officers are to serve six
years, as the result OF the votes cast in 1889.

mostly of second-class matter. Origin un-
known. Damage to the car, S, 600.
A LAMP exploded in a boarding house at
First avenue and Grant street about o'clock

aIarm was turned in from box No. %. The
loss was about 5000.
AT Newark, n. j., Jay & Seliger's plush

AT Morristown, Tenn, three large bust
ness houses were burned, another torn down
and fifth crushed by a falling wall. Loss,
s35, 900: insured for $4,000. The fire was
caused by the pipe OF tramp printer in q
newspaper office.
AT Chicago last night the plant of the
Chicago Arc Light and Power Company was
damaged to the extent of sl5o,ooo, one-third
of which is on the building. A crossing of
wires caused the fire. The freight steamer
Tioga, near by, had narrow escape.
A STILL alarm called out engine No last

ings soon caught, but with a great deal of
fighting the firemen succeeded in getting
the flames under control. Loss estimated at

thought to be the work of incendiaries.

tiest imaginable drawing room, showing a
bit in perspective of all adjoining rooms,
with the prettiest possible effect. The cast
is practically the same, excepting the part
of Josie Armstrong, taken last year by Jane
Stuart Miss Stuart is now re-
placed by very petite bit of
femininitv, sweet-faced Gladys Wallis.
Mr. Crane as Senator Rivers is the Senator of
a year ago. There is the same ugly suit of
clothes, made for utility only, that he wears
when he first falls in with the Denman
claim and the Denman father and falls in
love with the Denman daue hter. His chin
is furnished with the same stubby, as
sertive, what might be termed beardlet.
He is the same statesman whom we love for
his good heart, for his Western push, and
his manly, unselfish love. There is one
Senator Hannibal Rivers, and he is Will
lam H. Crane, by the power of the intellect
and the charm of his humor.
A year ago we praised his company and
what was then said can only be repeated.
That Miss Hattie Russell won Pittsburg a
year ago was evidenced by welcome when
she entered as the susceptible widow, Mrs.
Hilary. such as not often given here. She
is as susceptible as ever; leans in
as charming a manner as of yore
on the mentality of ''her Senator" is the
lovable bit of womanliness she ever was
with the almost orphaned Mabel Den
man, and is so roguishly 'firtatious"
to borrow a "Josicism" that one wants to
be f1irt also, if one could only manage
it half as well.
Another clever bit of acting was that by
T. d. Frawley as Lieutenant George Schuyler.
His work is of the quiet kind and thoroughly
artistic and it brought him deal of de-
served applause. Miss Wallis is not Jane
Stuart, nevertheless she plays her part very
aSreeahlY.

THE CORsICAN BROTHERS.
Robert Mantell in That Intense and Weird
Play at the Bijou.

Play at the Bijou.
That old veteran and sterling actor, CIV.
Couldock, remarked when last in this city
that no man lacking tenor tones in his voice
could be great actor Couldock is one of
the ablest actors of the day, therefore his
opinion is valuable. If we accept that
dictum, which we are not sure about, it is
the lacking of these tones and disposition
to cut his sentences into pieces. averaging
two words each in the intenser passages,
that will keep Robert Mantell out of
the first rank of actors. Gifted with
vocal organ of unusual sweet
ness and great power in the middle tones,
it is otherwise without flexibility and at
times utterly beyond the control of its
owner. Withal Mr.. Mantell is really very
clever actor, and is seen at his best in
Dumas favorite old melodrama, "The Cor
sican Brothers" with which he opened his
present engagement at the Bijou Theater
last night. As usual when this actor comes
to town, he was greeted by a
crowded house, which followed the
romantic story of the brothers Del
Franchi with intense interest, applauding
vociferously often, and calling the star be-
fore the curtain at the conclusion of the
may be classed together. Both are little
worse for wear, in some places very much
so. The play requires large company, but
only five or six need be good actors, but
even this few are wanting in the Mantell
company. Charlotte Behrens, as Emile De
LeSpa,Tr, has but little to do, and
does that passsbly well. Albert Bruning
as " Chateau R7ao,ud Nathaniel Hartwig as
Alfred Maydrd, Il. T. Ringgold as Baron
Wongircn and w. Morton Baker as Baron
Ndrtei ranged from fair to bad, not even a
little life or fire Distinguishing the effort of
the four. Rossac, the woodcutter, imperson-
ated by Harry Stanhope; Grfo-Verner
Clarges-and the poor little white
hen over which the rival Corsican
families had quarreled were really good
The balance of the cast was lost in the
mysterious glamour that hangs about the
drama If so many of the audience had not
been afflicted with influenza and decidedly
croupy coughs some of the players might
have been able to make a better impression
As it was, they were more or less at dis
advantage. The "Corsican Brothers" will
be repeated tonight

THE CLEVELANDS' OUTING.
BABY RUTH WELL BUNDLED UP AND
TAKEN TO JERSEY.

Her First Season in Society Too Much for
company Her to Lakewood-How the
Journey Was Begun.
NEW York, Nov. -[Spec,at + Miss
Ruth Cleveland's first season in New York
has already proved too much for her. She
made her debut rather early, and she has
had the distinction not often enjoyed by a
young debutante, of monopolizing the
whole attention of the whole of society,
and she needs rest. So this afternoon her
dainty wraps and traps were gathered to-
gether, her cradle and carriage were care
fully packed in woolen cloths and she left
town for Lakewood, N. j., where she will
probably pass the winter in more or less
seclusion. The Cleveland house on Mad
ison avenue will be closed during Miss
Cleveland's absence
The party left on the 4 o'clock train for
Lakewood this afternoon. At about 23O
o'clock six men were loading half a dozen
barrels and other effects into an
express wagon in front of the Cleveland
house. After all the commonplace goots
we're safely slowed, all hands went into the
house, and shortly returned bearing the
cradle and baby buggy. The cradle was
hidden by the wrapping, but the polished
walnut and silver of the buggy showed
through the cloths.
The maids and men servants superin-
tended the removal in body. The cradle
was strapped conspicuously on the front of
the wagon, and the buggy equally con-
spicuously on the rear. Mr. Cleveland's
carriage drove up to the door, and
nurse came out of the house carrying mass
of white woolens and laces in her arms,
from the middle of which peeped pair of
big, bright eyes above pair of chubby red
cheeks, and little nose that was also quite
red and chubby.
Behind the nurse came Mrs. Cleveland,
with big fur wrap gathered closely around
her, and large hat with a big ostrich
feather almost hiding her face. Then Mr.
Cleveland, looking extremely happy,
pravitated down the steps of the
house, and brought up the
rear. He beamed on little Ruth as the pro-
cession started for the ferry, the carriage
leading and the express wagon, with the
cradle and baby buggy we'll in sight, bring
ing up the rear, he was sitting on the edge
of the front seat bending over to the baby.

FIREBUGS IN VERMONT.
SEVERAL TOWNS AT THE MERCY OF.
THE TORCH OF ARSON.

The Business Center of Middlebury Wiped
Out-Citizens Of Castleton Take the Law
in Their Own Hands-streets Patrolled
by yvigiIantes' Guards.
RUTLAND, VT, Nov. 30-ISpecidl. i
There have been more fires in Vermont
these last two weeks than the oldest in
habitant remembers within similar period.
The business center of the old college town
of Middlebury was practically wiped out a
week ago Sunday night, and Wednesday
night fire in ST. Albans, the great railroad
center of the State, nearly consumed the
business part of the village.
But the anxiety caused by these two big
fires is nothing compared to that which
preAails in Castleton, pretty little village
about a dozen miles from here. Castleton
has had incendiary fires at the rate of one a
dsy for the last six days, and the village is
in a state of terror. The citizens have
taken matters in their own hands, as the
town authorities seem powerless. They
have organized vigilance committee, and
armed sentinels, appointed by the vigilantes,
patrol the town after dark. For week the
fires have been started with almost unfail-
ing regularity, and in spite of the precau-
tions taken the frebugs have escaped.
Wednesday night score of armed men
carrying lanterns, patrolled the streets all
night. Other men, some of whom were
armed, sat up all night to watch their
property. There was no fire that night.
On Thursday night the watch was not begun
so early and there was another fire. On
Friday evening there was another fire. The
guards we're redoubled and half the able
bodied men in town sat up all night.
On Saturday night there was small fire
in the outskirts of the town, and the foot
prints OF a man leading from it were dis
covered. No one was caught but there
was light in nearly every house in the
village all night, and lanterns were hung in
most of the yards. The armed watchmen
patrolled the streets, and no one slept easy.
Now it is proposed to hire a city detective.

BELLAIREs LOSS BY FIRE.
Its Glass Works Burned Down and Three
Men in the Ruins.

Its Glass Works Burned Down and Three
Men in the Ruins.
BELLAIRE, Nov. 30.-[SepciaL ]-At $50
tonight a fire broke out in the factory
building of the Union Window Glass Com
pany, and quickly spread into the ware
house, Office and other buildings. The
whole concern was in flames in an hour.
Three workmen-Jones, Mcclellan and
an unknown colored man, fell through the
factory floor and their fate is uncertain at
this hour. The loss will be $40, 900; insur-
ance about S35,OOO One hundred and
twenty-five men will be thrown out of en-
ployment. Ten thousand boxes of glass
were burned in the warerooms. 1t is i'm
probable that the works will be rebuilt, as
no money has been made for some years.
A late dispatch says that rescuIng
party succeeded in taking from the ruins
Walter Campbell and George Elron still
alive, but badly injured. George Stewart,
the third victim, was dead when found. =
