A BIG BLAZE AT BUFFALO.


The Arcade Block and the YerxA Build
ing Go Up in smoke-A Heavy @Oney
Loss.
BUFFALO, N. Y, December 14.-The
Arcade block, which has stood for more
than thirty years a landmark in the
very heart of the city, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire to-day. The fire also
swept away the Yerxa building. which
stood on the south Of the Arcade, and
did its work so rapidly and completely
that very little Of the contents of the
buildings were saved The loss is esti-
mated at not short of $3.50, 600.
Buffalo has not seen in many years
such furious blaze, and it is doubtless
II there is another structure that seem
ed so we'll adapted to withstand flame
as the old Arcade. People had come
TO look upon it as thoroughly fire proof,
but nothing remains now but a smoul-
derng pile OF ruins; the big block burn
ed like tinder, and at one time threatened
4 large section OF the business portion
Of the city. The alarm was sent out
about GAO this morning, and before the
FIRE department responded it was seen
that the flames had got control. IN
the Arcade were M. S. Robinson's
Musee, Shea's Music Hall and
A LARGE NUMBER OF STORES
d.ofices 1t extended from No. 200

through to Washington street. 1t was

men, aided by this, managed to stay the
progress Of the flames. Had this not
been done the entire block, bounded by
Main, Washington, Eagle and Clinton
streets would undoubtedly have been
destroyed.
The YerXa building was five stories,
the Arcade was afonr-story brick build
ing and was valued at 5000, 900. The
insurance is about $50, 600. The Yerxa
building was worth 500, 600 and the In
suraEce was about $50, 600. Fsxon,
Williams & Faxon's stock was valued
at 5000, 600, and was insured for
5000 Mr.. Robinson's loss on the
Musee theatsr Is about 100000. He had
VERY LITTLE INSURANCE.
This thester was known as wonder

and Detroit theaters. Shea's Music
Hall was patterned after Roster aud
Bial's in New York. The owners suffer
loss Of $50 600.
On both the Main and Washington
street sides Of the building there was q
number Of stores Of various kinds
which were completely wiped out.
In less than four hours the FIRE had
spent its fury. Most OF those who had
remained in the building during the
night heard the explosion By which L

"a snnposed the FIRE was originated.
Everythipg about the building
was of the most infammable nature
and. aided by a ttrong draught, the en-
tire structure was wrapped in names 10
less than half an hour from the time the
alarm was given. So far as can oe
learned no one was seriously injured
although many OF the nremen lu
had narrow escapes. Both ko.lcs
and firemen, when they hrst
arrived upon the scene, made tour
through the Arcade as far as the names
would admit them. Owing to the ex-
citing rumor that some people within
were in danger of being burned 10
death. intense excitement prevailed
during the entire morning, as several
of those who had really escaped coulo
not be found. They were found later
In the day, however.
Although 1t is claimed that the nre
originated from an explosion OF gas, II
IS not known just how the explosion
occurred. Two boilers were in the
building, one belonging to Shea's Music

A Motion to Adjourn to Call Attsn.
ton TO the Backward state OF Public
Business Defeated.
LONDON, December 14.-There was
quite an exciting sitting OF the House
OF Commons to-day, rising out Of the
announcement made by Mr.. Gladstone
that, owing TO the present state OF
business, the Government proposed to
adjourn on Friday, December %, and
to meet again on the following WedneS-
day.
Sir John Dorington, Conservative,
moved TO adjourn the House in order 70
call attention to the backward state OF
public business.
The opposition intend this motion as
an Indictment Of the alleged general In
capacity of the government In conduct
ing business, and expressed the inten-
ton OF pressing the motion TO dlvls-
ion.
Sir Richard Paget, Conservative, In
secondlng Sir John Dorrihgton's mo-
motion, was loudly cheered, especially
when be declared that the present con-
dition OF things in public affairs was

These attacks finally brought Mr..
Gladstone to his feet and he replied
warmly 70 the onslaught OF the opposI-
tiOn, and amid frequent Interruptions de-
clared that the House must meet again,
as be had indicated. or the parish coun-
ellis bill must be abandoned.
The Right Hon. A. ]. Balfour, the
Conservative leader, accused the gov
ernment Of trying to trample upon the
opposition, who Mr.. Balfour added,
were little below the government sup
porters in number.
After heated debate, during which
Mr.. Gladstone was greeted with groans
from the opposition and with cheers
from his supporters, the closure was
moved and the motion TO adjourn was
reelected by vote Of 165 70 lis.
The announcement OF the result OF
the vote called forth loud cheers from
the government supporters.

The fire started in tie top story OF

The firemen could not hold their
hose to the best advantage be-
cause OF half frozen hands and worn
out energies, besides the building was
so high that any attempt to force a
stream to the top floor was futile. The
fire gained the upper hand, and at s

EIeItement In the ReIehstag.

BERLIN, December 14.-There was
much excitement In the Reichstag when
the Spanish treaty of commerce was In
troduced for its. second reading. Herr
Manteufel attacked the general and
commercial policy of the government,
whose treatment, he said, Of the Sgri-
cultural losses encouraged agrarian agi-
tation.
Chancellor Won Caprivl made a vigor-
Gus reply, during which be said that
it was true that the Russian treaty
would be made at the expense Of hus-
bandry, inasmuch as grain pro-
ducIng State must receive con-
cessions through it. The Chan
cellor added that he only opposed the
method OF agitation resorted to by the
Farmers Alliance, and asserted that 1t
was not conservative to appeal to the
authorities against the authority Of
the government. The latter, the
Chancellor asserted, must seek support
from the large portions Of the popu-
lation and not from ahy individual
party, and It would take support
where 1t could find it.
A remark of Chancellor Won Caprivi
to the effect that the deputies should
not be influenced by the masses caused
a decided sensation. Alluding TO the
currency, the Chancellor said that II
was impossible to take any step In that
direction unless England joined In IL.
Both the Spanish and Servian treaties
passed second readings by large msjori
ties.

CHICAGO, December 1.-The Court
room was crowded to-day during the
Prendergast trial, many ladies being
present among the spectators. Prem
dergast was nervous and i'll at ease
when Carter Harrison, Jr. came into
Court with his wife aud his sister, Miss
Sophia Harrison. The latter was called
to the witness stand, and her testimony
was given with great effort as she told
of the.murder of her father. A number
of other witnesses were examined but
their testim ony developed nothing new.
The prosecution rested its case with
the evidence of the physicians, who
produced in. court the bullets which
were fred into the body OF Mayor Har-
rison. The first witness for the defense
was Mrs. Helen Prendergast, the
mother of the assassin. Her evidence
was entire ly in support OF the insanity
theory. She said that about the time
when he was merging from boyhood
into manhood she saw With consterna-
tion that there was a marked change
in his disposition and that he became
a recluse, devoting himself to books
and avoiding all forms of out
door diversions common to boys.
She said he often talked foollshly about
being made corporation counsel and
grew furious when she suggested that
he was not fit to hold the position.
During the cross-examination Of Mrs.
Prendergast by Attorney Trude, the
prisoner lost his temper and exclaimed:
"Trude, you are scoundrel to talk to
my mother that way"
The attorney was doing nothing out
OF the way.
