left the club about l o'clock am. and
started home.
He is an honest faithful colored man and
was proceeding on his way quietly, when he
was rounded up by the police and called 10
account for being on the street at that time
of night He told them he was cook at the
Press Club, but they laughed -ong and loud
and said that he could not stuff them that
way; oh. no, they were too old birds to he
caught with such chaff as that. Then ,ney
ran him in and he remained locked UP until
the next morning. notwithstanding the fact
that word over the telephone to the stew
ard would have settled the matter
Great interest is being taken by the cor
respondents in the case of Jack the

inside just before the fire started He had
not left the place and spectators thought
for a few moments that he had been en-
veloped in the flames and had not been able
to escape.
A crashing of glass was heard and pres

almost gasped for breath, II couldn't help
it,"
His hair and mustache showed that he
had been little too near the flames.
Il attempted to start the fire." he said,
land the blaze got away from me-.
At the same time he stood brushing his
hat and coat. Some amusement was caused
when one of the doors came open and a
large rat appeared, but he retraced his
footsteps rather than face the crowd and
place of safety.
The plastering and some of the wood
work iE the little place were ruined and a
few oysters wasted.
Mr.. Smith, the proprietor, was at the
wharf at the time of the fire and Louis
Lyons, the colored man, although badly
frightened was not badly hurt.
No. engine company was called out on
