This MORNINGS FIRE.
1t Does Considerable Damage to
Several Buildings.
Mrs. Scroggs' Residence on Tenth
Street Gutted-A Horse and
Two Vehicles Burned.

At l o'clock this morning a fire broke
out in the rear of Mrs. Scroggs' residence
on the west side of Tenth street, between
] and X, and on the north side of the
alley.
Persons living near by say the fire
originated in the Scroggs kitchen. 1t
soon communicated with some small
wooden structures on the alley, and de-
stroyed the barn of J. A. NJ. Martin, in the
j street.
Mr.. Martin lost his horse, delivery
wagon, buggy, two sets Of harness, and
two tons of hay.
All the wooden porches, window-siils,
etc., in the rear of number of brick
buildings were burned.
The fire also burned out the basement
Of the Scroggs residence and several
rooms on the first floor. The others were
flooded with water.
Mrs. Scroggs saved a portion of her
furniture, but how much could not be
learned in the confusion and excitement.
The damage to her residence is covered
by insurance.
All the buildings were of brick, except
the few sheds on the alley, and were not,
therefore, greatly damaged.
The residences of John Bellmer and
Charles Kleinsorge, north of the Scroggs
house, were not much damaged by fire.
but dense volumes of smoke rolled
through them and some damage was
done by water.

ADJUSTMENTS.

On the 18Th and 10Th insts., at the Met
ropolitan Theater, Charles Frohman's
New York Comedy Company Will pre-
sent the comedy, "Gloriana." 1t is APP
preaching its three hundredth night in
London; it ran one hundred and fifty
nights in New York and twenty-five
nights in San Francisco. 1t has an in
tereSting little plot, of more merit than
the average of that class of plays. Its
| dialogue is bright and witty, it is full of
action and does not depend on horse
play for It's fun. Servants masquerade as
masters and masters as servants, and the
situations are groteSque and amusing to
the last degree. The company is an ex-
cellent one; even the most trivial parts
are in competent hands, including such
artists as Il. j. Henley, Henrietta Cross
man, Frederick Bond, May Robson.
Joseph Allen, Margaret Robinson, Chas
Is. Wells, Edwin Stevens, William Rob-
son, Thomas A. Wise and others.
In brief the story Of the play is this
Leopold Jocelyn, young gentleman in
the Foreign Office, is about 20 marry the
daughter of a rich tanner, when an old
sweetheart, Mrs. Gloriana Lowering,
turns up. To avoid her Jocelyn pretends
to be his own valet and the valet imper-
sonateS JOcelyn; but, still she loves him.
Then the complications begin with the
introduction Of the fire-eating Count, who
gets letter OF warning and forthwith
wants to kill the lackey under the belief
that he is Jocelyn. After great deal of
trouble all hands find their way back to
their proper stations in life again, and
then we, who have been laughing steadily
for an hour, leave the theater and agree
that it was funny and a 'gon The pc
culiar complications that arise from these
conditions make up the action of the play.

which are much less than the troupe

THREE II ONE.

Major Weinstock has been dubbed by
the First Brigade officers the Trinity"
Why? Well, you see the Major. by vir-
tue OF his appointment by the Governor,
Is Paymaster; by virtue Of appointment
by General Sheehan, he is Acting In
Ordnance Officer. The Major is a hard
man TO floor in consequence. De-
priye him of his title of Major,
and ne is still a Major; take this
Title from him again, and he remains a
Major still. And the Major enjoys and
Jokes about the peculiar position. or ra-
Their positions, he occupies. He teld d
good story on himself last night at brigade
headquarters. 1t ran this way: "There
was quite serious controversy in my
! tent this morning. You know, it was
quite late when we all got to bed. and of
course was quite sleepy. Well, the Pay
master insisted that $50 o'clock was the
proper time to arise. The Paymaster,
however, thought that hour all right for
prlvates and corporals, but too early for
an officer of his calibre. They quarreled
and were about to come to blows, when
the Ordnance Officer stepped in and sepa-
rated them"
Since the telling of this it is quite in
order for all manner of jokes and stories
to be told on the Major
will the worthy Paymaster have
glass of sherry?' asked Major Gett last
night, as he held up his little brown
jug.
You know the Paymaster doesn't
drink anything stronger than water"
replied Major Weinstock, reprovingiy,
and he turned to go away.
THAT'S So" replied Major Gett, ''but
how about the Inspector of Rifle Prac-
tice-will he have drop?''
"Oh. that's different" said Major
Welnstock, and he right-about-faced and
marched to the jug.

Charles Hodeck Auxiously Inquired

A young man reported at the police
station last evening that his uncle, Charles
Hodeck, was missing.
He took room at the Clunie House
late Sunday night and next morning he
had disappeared, leaving no word as to
where he had gone and his nephew fears
he has met with foul play of some kind.
He was described to Chief Rodgers as a

feet, ten inches in hight and was dressed
in black suit OF clothes and black
slouched hat.
Hodeck and his nephew only came to

a recent writer gives a good sugges-

should be washed with sponge in clear

with tissue paper. In this way the gold

been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrl Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being q
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa.
tent strength by building up the con.

its work. The proprietors haye so much

HARPER's S.

George William Curlis's last contri-
button to the Easy Chair-a place for
Christmas-wil be published in the
November number of Harpers Magazine
and with it that department of the mag
azine will be discontinued. The Easy
Chair was started in September, 1851,
with Donald g. Mitchell as its writer.
Mr.. Curtis's connection with 1t began
with the number for October, 1858. when
he and Mr.. Mitchell became joint editors
of the department. The latter was re-
sponsible for the foreign paragraphs,
which appeared for some time under a
sub head as "Our Foreign Gossip" al
though still part of the Easy Chair.
Ia March, 1859 Our Foreign Gossip
became a distinct department called
Our Foreign Bureau and from that time
Mr.. Curtis was the sole occupant of the
Easy Chair. The discontinuance of
the department at the present time is a
signal mark of respect to the memory
of him who for nearly forty years had
impaired to it so much of his own per-
sonality that it seems impossible to i'm
agine an Easy Chair with any other
occupant than himself

The democrats profess to be greatly
exercised because of the political
activity of Michigan postmasters and
they have filed charges against several
of them with the civil service CON-
mission, which has already began an
investigation. The object of these
charges is TO intimidate postmasters
in all sections, but it will not succeed,
as most of the postmasters are repub-
licans, consequently men of intelli-
gence, who know that holding office
does not deprive them of any of their
political rights.

Washington all continues favorable to
republican success The insignificant

get no electoral votes from the South.
At the headquarters of the farmers
alliance, which is the only headquarters

dozen members of the House.
