"DOCK ~ COMING"
Words of Dire mt to Many Govern
ment Clerks.

You'd better brace up, old man, DOCK
cry will be coming around pretty soon
This is what the chiefs Of the divisions
in the departments say now when they
want TO instil new energy into clerks
saws the washington Star. As Saracen
mothers of old hushed their crying babes
into fearsome silence by whispering the
dread name OF Richard Occur de Lion,
50 does the name Of Mr.. Dockery ana the
Joint departmental commission serve 10
se1d cold chills down the spinal columns
of a whole division Of department clerks
of this day.
"Dockery IS coming around" they
whispered in awe-struck tones. To those
who have never seen him the name I'M
plies a dreadful creature with a thousand
eyes, able TO pick up every flaw, to zee
opportunities FOR all kinds Of ~inconvenient
reforms, and TO discover every imper-
lection Of shortcoming I'm the clerks them
selves. They see visions of a fierce,
a%venging being, w%reaking wrath and I'M
posing tasks.
"DOckery is coming around" goes the
whisper down tne corridors and through
the rooms. like the premonitory sigh OF
the wind before a storm, and pipes and
cigars are hastily thrust out Of sight,
half-written letters are showed under the
blotters. heads bend lower over the work,
and hands move faster, il more %neryously.
Every fOotstep in the hall conveys a
terror.
"Dockery is coming around repeat the
messengers in frightened accents as they
pass from room 10 room, II themselves
proceed to cover where they mo be
found by the awful presence. II is a
wonderful r~eviver. that magic sentence.
and although somewhat old, is still used
10 %conjure within the departments and
to put tagging clerks into a Juror Of
energy and motion. The limitations Of
the reforms to be worked by the joint
commission, however. and the announce
ment Of those already decided upon.
still give force and fear 10 the warning

JACKSON CITY DASrROYED.
The Virginia Monte Carlo Goes Up in
FIHmes-It- ~ story.

Monte Carlo, the notorious gambling
resort at Jackson City, near Alexandria,
which was destroyed by fire Thursday
night, is the place which occupied a promi-
nent part in the discussion of the anti
gambling bill before the Legislature
last session. Indeed, it was the COM
plants Of the conduct of the sports at
that place which induced the Assembly
to enact the law to suppress the form Of
gambling carried on there.
Thursday nights fire, the Washington
Post Of yesterday says. started i'm James
Wells one-stOry building, on the west
side Of the road. Arthur Smith, a colored
Waterman employed about the row, dis
covered the fire and endeayored 10 eX-
tinguish the flames, but his efforts were
futile. and the water he poured on the
burning building served only TO In
crease the fury OF the devourlng element.
The building was unoccupied, but mas
been for several months the resort OF a
gang OF colOred l%oafers. Mr.. Wells has
frequently ordered these men away from
the place, but his instructions were not
needed. 1t IS believed that the negroes
set fire to the building. and there were
evidences of the use OF coal oil IN order
TO hasten the destruction OF the building.
The fire spread rapidly to the adjoining
building, d two-story frame, also the
property of Wells, and occupied as a
poOl-rOom. This structure melted away
like wax in the intense heat, which COM
municated with a one-story frame build
ing adjoining, and owned by j. N. Hill.
This was also run as a poOl-room.
Great excitement prevails in Jackson
city, the inhabitants Of the country for
miles around hurrying TO the scene of the
c~onfagration. Up 10 the time the third
building caught fire all efforts 10 save the
property had been confined 10 handbrig-
AIDES. The fire lighted up the entire south
ern portion OF this city, and those who
saw the flames at first thought that IL
was within the limits of the city, but as
no alarm was turned in the opinion soon
prevailed that Monte Carlo was the scene
of the wreck.
During the progress Of the fire scores OF
men were engaged i'm carrying crap. haz-
Yard, and roulette tables out OF the build
ings. which were saved, and the street m
front OF the row looked Ike a general
raid had taken place.
There is no suspicion as to the person
or persons who may have set fire 20 the
buildings. as those who occupied the build
ing We're rowing buns, and We're unknown

Ell PASO, TEX, Dec. 1.-Some excit-
ing news is given out from Mexican
revolutionary sources here tonight. 1t
is TO the effect thai the cavalry force
which left San Jose two weeks ago Tor
the seat of disturbance, on the Iourtn
day out murdered the most Of their Of
6cers and Joined the revolutionary con-
tineent now under the command of San
tana Perez in person. This became known
10 President Diaz a week ago, and is
given as a reason for the lack of agrees
siveness by the government.
Another report from another source
and very reliable, is to the effect that
four companies OF the Ninth battalion
from Chihuahua, while marching from
Conception to Casas Grandes last Thurs
day and Friday, where the federal troops
are being concentrated, were attacked by
a large detachment of rebels under Cruise
Chavez, of Santa Tomas fame; and
severely dealt with. %he federals were
ambushed in the broken country several
times before reaching Casas Grandes,
and lost half rheir command. while the
rebels lost but five men to the knowledge
of the federals. 1t is thought by the reVo-
lutionists that the entire federal command
will 20 over to the revolutionary cause
in a short time. The revolutionists are
also concentrating their forces near Casas
Grandes, in the mountains, forty miles
northwest.
