Fire in a brewery Cupola.

An alarm Of fire was sounded at II
O'Clock this morning from box 63, To-
Gated at Wagner's brewery, and re-
spending to it the department was
given n long run, but it was made in
splendid time. The cause was the
discovery of flames in one of the Gu
polas at the Atlantic brewery and
at the corner of the porch overhang-
ing the northwest corner of the
brewery building. The flames in
both instances were quickly subdued,
having been held in check by a small
hose pending the arrival of the fire
men who soon did the rest, there be-
ing no occasion for using the depart
ment hose, although Assistant Chief
Collier had it laid ready for bust
ness if needed. The loss will not
exceed $50. which is fully covered by
insurance. The fires caught prob
ably from sparks from the brewery
smokc-stack.
The alarm served to emphasize the
necessity of n company in the east
end of town as the locality like at
the extreme western portion of the
city is too far away to expect a COM
pany to reach in time for effective
service from its location in the CEN
trail portion of the city.

Sues for $4,000.

On the 18th of September last year
Dora or Dolly Weichert. then aged
about 10 years, was struck by Rock
Island passenger train at the Forty
sixth street crossing. She was
thrown 10 or 10 feet into the air.
alighting on her head and being rem
dered unconscious but no bones were
broken, and as she soon regained
consciousness it was thought at the
time that there was no permanent
injury. The accident is recalled by
a $4,000 damage suit filed Saturday
in the district court across the river
by Rudolph Weichert, the girls ia
Their, against the Rock Island railway
company. The nominal plaintiff is
the little girl whose home is still in
Rock Island. 1t is alleged that per-
manent bodily and mental injuries
have resulted from the accident.
The accident was one of those where
two trains were passing in opposite
directions, and the little girl saw but
one of them.

The Northern Illinois Marshalship.

The Chicago Record has the fol-
lowing:
Illinois politicians are predicting
the appointment of John c. Donnelly,
of Woodstock, protege of the late
Elijah NJ. Haines, as United States
marshal for northern Illinois.
The only formidable opposition
that developed against Donnelly's
candidacy was by Mr.. Cables candi-
date, ex-Sheriff Silvis of Rock Island.
Senator Palmer had endorsed Mr..
Donnel.y. Since returning to Wash
ington the senator has concentrated
his efforts to secure the early appoint
ment of the Woodstock statesman.
While Mr.. Gable has put up strong
fight in favor of Silvis for marshal.
he found many of his political CO.
dorse Spangler, the candidate for
revenue collector in whom Mr.. Gable
has been so much interested, but
were opposed to Mr.. Cables friend
from Rock Island.
The Cook county democracy. ac-
cording to advices, favor Donnelly
for marshal and Spangler for inspec-
tor of internal revenue. Senator
Palmer is making u personal fight
for Donnelly's appointment and,
while he has indorsed Twohig against
Spangler for collector of internal
revenue. the senator's principal fight
seems to be on the marshalship. 1t
is predicted now that Mr.. Cable will
have to be satisfied with the appoint
ment of Spangler for internal reve-
nue. collector, which now seems rea-
sonably certain. and that Senator
Palmer's friend Donnelly will be mar
shall
While Mr.. Silvis' candidacy may
lose an element of strength in Mr.
Cables interest in Spangler which he
would possess if Mr.. Cable were for
him exclusively and solely, yet Mr.
Silvis' friends are feeling no anxiety
about the matter. They know that
he will get there just the same.

Held to the Circuit Court.

hrs oehnie Chandler and Cal. Harson
Held to the Circuit Court.
The preliminary examination of
Mrs. Jennie Chandler ard Cal. Har-
son, the pair caught in the act of plac-
ing logs on the Rock Island tracks
near Riverview park Sunday night,
was held at police headquarters this
morning before Police Magistrate
Schroeder. The only witnesses call
ed were Chief Sexton and Detective
Gray, of Chicago. Chief Sexton tes-
titled that on SUNDAY night at about
$50, he was in the vicinity of the c..
X. |. q p railway tracks at River
view park and detected the defen-
dant, Harson, placing two ties on the
west bound track in Y shape, and
the woman was standing watching
him, and through motions made by
her, concluded that she was instruct
ing Harson as the manner of placing
the ties. The chief also testified to
having been mistaken by Mrs. Chand-
ler'for Harson and that she said to
him; Come, put some more on the
track"
Then Detective Gray was. called.
and testified that he.was in the en-
ploy of the Thiel detective agency of
Chicago; that ON the night of Sun
day, Aug. Goth, he was in the yicin-
ity of the c., X. |. d p. tracks at
Riyerview park, and that he was
about 80 or 40 feet from the defend
ants at the time of placing the ties
and that he could hear Mrs Chand-
Ter say, Put some more on; hurry
up!' His testimony corroborated
that of Chief Sexton materially. On
being asked in which way the apex of
they was pointed, he replied, least. =
These were the only witnesses eX-
amined, and after some talk by At
torney McEniry in behalf of Mrs.
Chandler, Magistrate Schroeder
fixed the bond at $1,000 each, and
the prisoners were committed to the
county Jail in default.

Ed. Jens had an animated contro-
vcrsy with a couple of toughs en-
ployed by the National Clay compa-

men first insulted Jens, and in aveng.
ing the injury he was assaulted by
one of them twice with knife, two
severe cuts in his head being the re-
suit. Fortunately neither resulted
seriously and he is able to be about
today.

OUR NEW MERCHANT NAVY.

At meeting OF stockholders of the

NJ Jersey City on Wednesday, the capital
Of that corporation was increased to SI5.-
100000, and some New York and Pennsyl-
vania millonaires interested in transport
tation were admitted to the board of direc-
Tors. This Is the company which was
permitted by special act of Congress to
take out American registers for the City
of New York and City of Paris. By the
terms Of the act of Congress the company
was required to build at an American Ship
yard sister ships to the New York and the
Paris. They ara now on the stocks at
Cramps shipyard. 1t was decided at the
meeting on Wednesday to build at the
same yard five more steams ships. guaran.

knots an hour. and to cost about 100000
each. They will ply between New York
and SOUTHAMPTON and New York and
Antwerp, touching at Boulogne.
This new departure. considered in con-
nection with the new Ievlathan ships which
are being built by the Cunard Company
and the White Star Company. implies a
revolution in the navigation of the North
Atlantic. 1t reduces the maximum time
of crossing the Atlantic from New York
to Liverpool or Southampton to six and a
quarter days, which will imply a minimum
time for exceptionally fast ships to five
and quarter to five and halt-which is
the best record OF to-day. Some OF the
new American ships will probably attain
the same speed as the crack English liners.
Another consequence of the revival of
steamship intercourse between Great Bri-
tain and the United States in American
ships will be to give an impetus to South
ampton. Hitherto Liverpool has been the
eastern terminal of most of the American
steamship lines. 1t has become so through
the enterprise of Liverpool merchants,
who have always been largely interested
in the companies. But, in fact, Southamp-
ton is bstter port. more easy of access
and nearer 10 the Continent. which is the
objective point of most American travel
ers. III the new American line makes
Southampton its point of arrival and de-
parture it may be expected that much
travel and traffic will be transferred to
that port from Liverpool, and it may pos
sibly happen that Southampton and not

the cotton trade, and ofthe trade in bread
stuffs and provisions.

AMERICAN TINPLATE.

There has been some discussion between
the representatives of American tinplate
factories and the Treasury Department as
to whether imported plates dipped in this
country should be treated rs American
plates The decision becomes of the more
importance, as the Mckinley act REQUIRES
the production in America of a certain
proportion of the plates us in this
country as condition OF retaining the
duty. If imported plates dipped in this
country may be counted as American
plates, the American product would be
sufficient to continue the duty. But the
Treasury Department has decided that
imported plates dipped in the United
States do not count in making up the re-
quired proportion. Whether the reduction
In the total will be sufficient TO forfeit the
duties provided for in the Mckinley bill
will not be known until the reports from
American mills have been revised accord
ing TO the decision. TIE American manu-
facturers maintain thatthe dipping process
Is an important and difficult part of the
work of manufacture, and that valuable
machinery has been set up in this country
to carry it on. The imported plate Is con.
sidered somewhat in the nature of raw
material. The manufacturers will not
probably be surprised that the Treasury
Department under Cleveland has decided
in favor of the British manufacturer.
