Will F. Frum, the Democratic nom
inee for assessor on the east side,
and Luther l.. Jamison, nominee for
the west side, are both men who can
have no charge of an embarrassing
kind brought against them, unless it
might be, as some Republicans have
said, that they are young" They
are that, it is true, but both are old
enough to have been guided in their
choice of party utilization by the
soundness Of Democratic principles,
especially so by comparison with
those Of the opposition. Yes, they
are young, active, intelligent bust
ness men. They would be assessors
of the kind to have, attending to the
business promptly, faithfully and eff
liciently. They should be elected.

MANIACs SAVED BY HEROES.

Only ths Patient Who Fired the Asylum
The Superintendent ana His Assistants
Do Splendid and Effective Work.
JACKSON, Miss, Feb 16-The four
story main building of the State Asylum
for the Insane was set on fire about 8 o'clock
this morning by j. d. Brown, an inmate.
Brown had recently escaped, and was only
returned yesterday. He stated to his at
tendants that it would be all the worse for
him and them if he was again confined. His
threat was soon put into execution, and he
himself, unable to escape from the building,
burned to death, victim of his insane deed.
There were 800 inmates in the building,
most of whom were asleep when the flames
were discovered. Through the almost
superhuman cxertions of the Superintend-
dent, DIR. Mitchell, and his subordinates, all
were saved and safely transferred to the
wings disconnected from the burning pile.
Then the Superintendent, who was just up
from q sick bed, staggered and fell and was
conveyed to his residence. Assistant No
land Stewart, after heroic and successful en-
deavor, also succumbed Fireman Odenneal
held his post with a hose until his shoes
and clothing took fire, when he escaped
through window and took refuge in
pond.
The building was of brick, and had
frontage of about 500 feet. 1t is situated
about two miles from the city proper, and
the flames had gained fearful headway be-
fore the fire department arrived on the
scene. The building was about two-thirds
destroyed. entailing a loss to the State of
probably 100000, uninsured. The Legisla-
ture this afternoon appropriated $50, 600 to
meet immediate demands.

DRINK AND DIVORCE.

A Pittsburg Couple Figure In y Suit in
Detroit-The Husbands Bill BIa1hes All
the Trouble on Her Uncontrollablo Ap-
petite.
DETROIT, Feb. 16.-[Special. quite a
sensation was produced here to-day by the
filing of bill for divorce by Jos Martin
welLknown mechanic and inventor, eharg-
ing his wife with being an habitual drunkard.
In telling his story of misery to the Circuit
Court, through his bill, he alleges that he
married Florence Davis in Pittsburg, Sep
tember IL, 1882. His wife was of respectable
and wealthy parentage and he says that she
was apparently refined woman. They
were married by Rev. E. A. Carpenter
There were domestic reasons for leaving
Pittsburg, and the couple settled in Detroit,
where Martin found employment as foreman
of the Detroit Steel and Spring Works
No children were born to them, but they
lived happily for about five years, when
Martin says his wife became an habitual
drunkard. She would take the money he
gave her to buy clothing and spend it for
liquor Since October l, 1891, she has been
intoxicated all the time. He further alleges
that she became actually violent a short
time ago and tried to kill him three differ
ent times.
The family has always occupied a good
position in society, and Martin says that
he has suppressed the facts of his wife's
debauchery from his .riends

AFTER A FAIR COUNT.
NEW YORK CITY BEGINS TO TAKE A
CENSUS OF HER OWN.

Nearly 1000 Enumerators at Work Trying
Not a Snap for the Police for tho Re-
mainder of the Month.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16. Special. 1.-The
enumeration Of the city's population was
begun to-day. An enumerator was assigned
leach of the SS7 election districts, with in
structions to enter the name, age, color,
birthplace and occupation of every resident
in that district on blotter given to him for
that purpose, and to forward two copies to
the Office of the County Clerk, one to be put
on file there and the other to be sent to the
Office of the Secretary of State.
Superintendent Murray had instructed
the police captains to send policeman
with every enumerator, and to relieve the
policemen from all other duty until the
census was completed. The full returns
must be finished before the end of Feb
ruary.
The police expect that everybody will
have been counted within 10 days. The
enumerators get So day for their work and
l cent name for each name they register.
One enumerator, whose district is included
in the Fifteenth precinct, told Captain
Ryan tonight that he had taken $50 names
during the day.
With the exception of those assigned to
assist the enumerators, the police are anx-
ious that the work be completed as soon as
possible Until the last of the returns is in
no policeman will get leave, and nights
off, will be discontinued. In general
order yesterday Superintendent Murray
said that the SS7 men assigned to special
duty and relieved from night work were all
that the department could spare.
Beyond furnishing the escort for the emu
merators, who have to report night and
morning to the precinct station which en-
braces their district, the police have moth
ing to do with the census The people are
willing enough to be counted, and except
among the very ignorant and the cranky
the enunierators expect to have no diff
Guilty in obtaining the information they
seek.
The 647 enumerators in Brooklyn and the
20 in the country towns OF Kings county
also began the work of taking the census
this morning.

THE CURTIS MURDER MYSTERY.
The Evidence Produced Yesterday Fails to
Gear the Matter Ur.

The Evidence Produced Yesterday Fails to
C,ear the Matter Ur.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.-In the Curtis
case to-day Mrs Cook identified the white
handled revolver as one she had often seen
on the bureau at Curtis home. Deputy
Sheriff Fonce, of Almada county, testified
he was at the hotel in Berkeley when Allen
called on the witness Jarenson to identify
the revolver. Allen showed two revolvers
to Jarenson, and, pointing out one of them,
asked:
SIS that the pistol Curtis used to shoot
Grant?"
Jarenson said he thought it was, but was
not sure. Allen then told Jarenson he had
better be sure, and the latter then said he
was sure it was the same revolver. The re-
volver found near the scene of the shooting
had black handle.
Mark Abbott, hotel keeper, testified to
hearing one of three men on the sidewalk
say, "Let me 60" while another urged him
to "come along" The three men crossed
the street. Witness did not watch them,
but when he heard the shots he looked out
of the window again and saw man run up
Fifth street toward Howard, and about
five seconds later observed man running
around the corner in the direction of Ship
ley street, where Curtis was arrested.

question required on the motion to table the
motion to reconsider the vote by which the
Russian relief resolution was indefinitely
postponed, 1t was tabled without division,
thus finally defeating the measure.
The House then adjourned
Mr.. Bland, of Missouri the leader of the
silver men, says that there was no occasion
for the filibustering m the House, and that
some members seem to go wild whenever
they, for any reason, think the silver bill is
in some way or other to come forward. "
The silver question, he said, seemed to give
some of its opponents the hydrophobla
There was no idea of helping silver or fore
ing it to the front in the motion made. Mr..
Culberson, of Texas, wanted to get to the
calendar to take UP bill to amend the laws
relative to charges of judges to juries
Fears of Some Hocus Pocus.
Mr.. Tracey and others here added they
felt some fear that by some hocus pocus the
silver bill might get up, and were therefore
fighting the matter.
Mr.. Bland intimated that he did not pro-
pose to do anything at present on the silver
bill. He said
Mr.. Catcnings is away, and the Silver men
do not intend to present their petition to
the Rules Committee, asking for special
order for the silver bill until his return,
Nnen there VIII De q 1ull COnIllItec oH
Rules. 1 am confident that we will ultl-
mately get special rule from the commit
tee, and We expect to await their decision
Whether or not it Will be given before the
tariff is taken up cannot say. Personally
think it would be much better to TAX up the
silver question first and get it out OF tine
way, clearing the decks for the tariff, but
shall not antagoniZe the other Democrats II
they want to take up the tariff first.
On this question of which sublect-the
tariff or silver-shan be taken up, it is evil
dent the Democrats are greatly divided.
No conclusion will be reached with refer
ence to it for some days, and meanwhile the
anti-silver men believe that the greater de-
lay they can secure the better.
The Bearing on Politics
Mr.. Bartine, of Nevada was asked to-day
how many Republicans would support
free silver bill. He said:
think that about ten Republicans will
vote tor free coinage; butI would not like to
speak positively. MY experience in the
last Congress has taught me that men do not
always vote as they talk. Neither would l
like to mention names, because / might be
mistaken. If the bill should pass the House
and be defeated in the Senate by mixed
vote, it would probably have very little ef-
feet upon Nevada politics. Party lines
would probably be drawn as now. If the
bill should pass both Houses and be vetoed
by the President it would make him very
weak candidate in Nevada and Democratic
the State like wildflre. 1 think it would be
the same in all the other silver producing
States. If the Democratic candidate should
hold about the same views as those of Har
risor, both parties in the State would prob
ably vote their regular ticket.

Between Lawyers Lead to One Carving the
Other in the Public Library.
MACON, Feb. 16.-[Special. IA serious
cutting afray took place in the ladies' par
lor of the public library to-day between
Mr.. Arthur Dasher and Mr.. Hope Polhill,
two well-known young lawyers. MI. Pol
hill had an ugly cash in the top of his head,
another across his forehead, third from his
eye down to his lip and an ugly wound in
his wrist, while Mr.. Dasher did not have
scratch.
The two, commissioners in the case of Phil
lips against the East Tennessee Company,
were executing q set ofinterrogations,w of when
difference arose as to some point to be re-
corded. Polhill gave in, and the matter, it
was thought, was ended, as the papers were
duly signed. Polhill called Dasher into
another room and asked what he meant by
insinuating that he wanted to put anything
in the papers that was not strictly true.
Dasher made some quick reply, when Pol
hill called him scoundrel, and then Dasher
struck him. He warded off Polhill's blows
and opened pocket knife and carved Pol
hill up. He says he was acting on the de-
fensiye.

A SETBACK FOR ARMSTRONG.
Mime. Melba, the Defendants in the Divorce
Case in Which the Duke of Orleans Is
Co-Respondent, Gets Restraining Or

Co-Respondent, Gets Restraining Or-
der-She Denies InfideIity.
LONDON, Feb. 16.-In the divorce divis-
ion of Her Majesty,s High Court of Justice
to-day; Justice Jeune granted an order re-
straining Captain Armstrong, who has petit
toned for divorce from his wife, Madame
Duke of Orleans as correspondent, from
proceeding before the Vienna tribunal and
from examining the facts in the Vienna
Hotel, in which it is alleged the respondent
and correspondent lived for time as man
and wife.
Captain Francis Nesbitt Armstrong, the
petitioner in this action, was formerly
sheep farmer in Australia. He charges that
his wife and the Duke of Orleans lived
openly together at the Hotel Beau Rivage
known as Reville.- He was at once recog-
nized, however, by a waiter who formerly
worked at hotel at Nice and had seen the
Duke there as the Duke of Orleans. The
Duke took suite of apartments on the
second floor, and Nine. Melba arrived i'm
mediately atterward and took suite of
apartments on the first floor They were to-
gether constantly and she dined tete-a-tete
with him every evening in his apartments.
Subsequently the couple lived at the Hotel
Sacher in Vienna the Duke still assuming
the name of Reville.
Madame Melba claims that her relations
with the Duke were perfectly pure and
platdhic. She charges that her husband
treated her in cruel manner, but Captain
Armstrong denies this in the most en-
phatlc manner. He says the only serious
difference they ever had before he learned
of her lnfidellty was on steamer bound for
Australia, when she firted with some
officers The order granted by Justice
Jeune to-day was made on the application
of Madame Melba, who asked for rule
preventing Captain Armstrong from taking
ex parte evidence in Vienna BY commission
until the Court shall have decided whether
her marriage came within English iurisdic-
tion, the ceremony having been performed
in Australia

Who Took an Overdose of Chloroform for
an Alcohol Antidote.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-[Specidl. Mrs
Henry Nichols, formerly soprano in the
Duff Opera Company's chorus, died in her
fiat in West Thirty-ninth street Monday
night of an overdose of chloroform. The

ginian, of good family, and, while living
here and elsewhere used to send presents of
value to her old father and mother, who
