Caught Fire Mt 8 o'clock, a. M, and in
Ono IIour Was Almost "a Total Loss.
The fine new two-story brick stable
belonging to William +. Seeds located at
Seventh and Jackson street took fire at
5.16 Monday morning and in. a little
over one hour everything IN it was con-
sumed. The brick walls of the first
story arc all that are intact The prop
erty is insured for $4,000 with Lewis p.
Buck in the Niagara Insurance Com
pany.
The fire was first noticed by the
neighbors coming from the northern
end of the building just over the door at
the same point where the fire which
consumed the old building last summer
broke out. A colored man named w.
II. Robinson, driver for u. Griffith, flour
and feed store, No. COL Orange street,
occupied the northern end Of the second
story with his family. He was aroused
by tine smoke and had only time to get
out when the room was afiamc. IL is
thought the fire originated in the hay
loft Mr.. Seeds can form no conception
as to how it could have caught fire.
All the companies of the department
were present. There was great difficulty
in climbing the steep ice-clad hill up
Seventh street. The Wcccacoe engine
which came up Fourth street had
to be helped by the firemen's shoulders.
just as the north long wall fell
out the Weccacoe men were pass
ing with their hose and barely
escaped being caught by the falling
bricks The burnt building is a two
story brick, 23x60 feet. The fire com
panies remained around the building
until near o'clock.

The Body of an Infant, Evidently Stran-
gied to Death, Left on the steps at a
roiiceman's Residence.
At 1880 O'Clock Saturday night MS Mrs.
Kate Thompson was about to go up the
steps leading into the side yard of Sergeant
Wigglesworth's residence, No. 30 Jeffer-
son street. she saw a bundle lying on the
fourth or fifth step, picking it up she dis
covered it to be the body of dead infant.
The sergeant, who had retired for the
night, was called and he Immediately sent
for Dr. Smith, the coroner's physician,
who examined the child and pronounced
its neck broken and said it was about "a
hours old. The child was very healthy
looking and weighed IL pounds. 1t was
dressed in a flannel shirt, pctticoat and
slip, the long clothes being tucked up and
pinned to the upper portion of the cloth
ing, and when found was entirely wrapped
np IN creanl-colorcd. wrapping paper.
The body bore plain Indications that it
was the wish of its mother or attendants
to cause the death of the little innocent.
The body also showed evidences of having
been choked to death, as shortly after
being found the face was turning purple
The servant girl at Sergeant Wiggles-
worth's, who was out during the evening
and returned at 10 o'clock, entering the
house by the steps leading to the yard,
says the child was not there at that time,
but it was found by Mrs. Thompson bali
hour later.
The coroner's jury that had been sitting
in the Smith case viewed the body. which
will obyiate the necessity of oxhuming the
remains should any discriminating facts be
learned after investigation by the coroner
and other officials.

MIR. I,nyara,s warming.

Ex-Secretary Bayards letter on the sill
yer question is the first frank and straight
forward deliveranee that has come from
any prominent Democrat, with the excep-
ton of Cleveland, against free coinage on
the Bland plan. While other Democrats
have been hesitating and shiyering in
their treatment of this issue, Mr.. Bayard
strikes this financial heresy blow straight
from the shoulder and endeayors in a
manly way to call his party to its senses.
There is not a line of Mr.. Bayard's letter
SO far MS it bears on the folly and disaster
of the policy which the controlling forces
i'll the Democratic party are now seeking
TO establish which will not be cordially
endorsed by every friend of n sound and
honest currency, regardless of party. The
Delaware statesman's political opinions
have us a rule been distinguished for their
moss-back flavor but on the financial
question he has planted himself on the
rock of common sense, and is i'll full SYM
pathy with the intelligent opinion Of the
time.
MIR. Bayard is anxious to stem the heresy
that has taken possession OF his party and
p induce the silyerites either TO drop tho
issue or to let their movement take shape
i'll n demalN for bi-metallie coinage sane
toned and sustained by an international
agreement, which is the doctrine of the
Republican party. But the silver men
have time and again ridiculed this propo-
sition, and the only reply which they will
make to Mr.. Beyarl's warning is that he
is Il vile and pestiferous gold bug The
Democratic advocates of free coinage are
in q decided majority of the party, both i'll
and octof Congress- and they have not
shown the slightest disposition to recede
from their attitude or to be satisfied with
anything less than an out-and-out free
silver plank Of the Bland variety in the
party platform. MIR. Bayard speaks only
Tor n minority and there is now every
probability that he will be called upon
next summer to support o candidate who
will either oppose his views or execute a
straddle.

and struck the saloon-keeper, and was
forcing his way in when Singletons wife
appeared clad only in night robe. With
