spontaneous combustion on the second
floor OF the four story building occupied
by the Minnesota Shoe Company, cor

flames were brought under control at

pointment OF receivers for Cofrode &
Savior was severe shock to the com.
munity and has added to the depression
caused by thor recent failure Of the Potts
town Iron Company. The bridge works
is one OF the foremost industries OF the
town and employs about 700 hands.
Yesterday was the semi-monthly pay

not paid. Livingston saylor, superin-

BRUSSELS, Feb. 26,-The referendum
instituted by the liberal societies to
learn the sentiment OF the people on
the suffrage question was taken to-day
throughout the kingnom. In Brussels
some 25,O00 votes were cast. A large
majority favored NJ. Jansen's proposal
OF universal manhood suffrage, The
socialists voted for it toa man. The
The Catholics and the more moderate
Liberals abstained from voting. In the
smaller cities and the towns the ma
jority for the Jansen proposal is still
greater than hero, although the oppo-
nents OF universal suffrage are trying
already to break the force OF the ver-
dict by making charges OF bribery.

CAMDEN, N. j., Feb. 26.-"Just as soon
as the freeholdors issue tho license to
the Gloucester race track we will take
the matter before the supreme court" "
declared Colonel Hufty, Of the law and
order society, yesterday.
II doubt that the act is constitutional
and think the courts will so decide it.
AS the governor pointed out in his
veto message, an act permitting and
making lawful the selling OF pools on
races is clearly in conflict with the anti.
lottery provision OF the constitution OF
New Jersey"

"Mr. Harrison and Mr.. Foster seem
to be leaving office with their tongues

thought had MIR. Goschen ascribed the
Barring crisis to tho crofter question.
The present position, however, is really
a grave error-the result OF long and

"But tho truth must not be confessed.
1t ia not the shameless iobbery and wire
pulling OF the silver men, which have
brought the country to the verge OF a
crisis in currency and finance; it is the
Choclaw claim. Was there ever more
perverse obliquity OF intellectual

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 27.-In a report
to the legislature of February 10
Governor Brown and Secretary
OF State Headley charged that
the Mason and Foard Company
Of Frankfort, lessees Of hostate's convict
labor, owed the state $4,000 on ac-
count Of the convicts in the Eddyyille
penitentiary. The Mason and Foard
company have ten years lease which
was made by Governor Buckner, Cover
norm Browns predecessor.
The lessees built the Eddyville prison
and Governor Brown charged in his re.
port that the contract was altered for
their benefit and that various conces-
sions were made in their favor.
Ex-Governor Buckner tomorrow will
publish an open letter, in which he
charges Governor Brown with misrep-
resenting the records. Buckner claims
that every alteration in the contract
was made with full authority, and that
several thousand dollars were saved out

"As for the Hall-Fitzsimmons battle,

good show, Hall, though. may turn
