INDIANS AS SLAVES.
Dr. BERNARD {. steiner's Historical Pa
per About Connecticut.

Df. bernard {. Steifer's Historical Pa
per About Connecticut.
DR.. Bernard c. Steiner. librarian of
the Enoch Pratt Free library, in Bal
timore- has completed monograph on
Slavery in Connecticut, which will
be published in the John Hopkins
university studies in historical and
political science.
Among the interesting facts in the
work IS the statement that the first
slaves in Connecticut were not ne
groes, but Indians, being of the Pc
quot tribe, which was overthrown by
the settlers in 1855 The first law
against the slave trade, too, was
passed in 1715 against the importation
of the Tuscarora Indians, who had
been captured by the Caroiinians in
war. The first IDEA of slavery IN Con-
nccticut was then that captives in war
were slaves. Soon after the founda-
ton of the colony negroes were intro
duced. a few at a time, chiefly from
the West Indies and not from Africa
They were owned for the most part
as household servants, and the Con-
necticut notion of slavery was the
patriarchal one, that slaves belonging
to the family of the master differed
from apprentices only in being bound
to service for life. ~
Slavery was tolerated everywhere in
Connecticut throughout the colonial
period, but with the coming of the
revolution came the idea that ii was
| unrighteous to hold men in bondage.
This feeling lea to the act of 1874, pro-
hibiting the foreign slave trade, ana
that of 1874, providing that all there
after born as slaves should be free on
reaching their twenty fifth year.
This age was afterward lessened to

The Lister block on n street near Twenty
seventh was flooded again yesterday with
water on account of fire. This is the third
time fire alarm has been sent in from this
building inside o. month.
1t was about 3 o'clock when Mrs Pierce,
who occupies rooms on the third floor, dis
covered that the southwest corner of the
west wall was on fire and sent in the alarm.
Tho fremen were prompt in arriving and
soon had the flames under control, but in
order to do so the building was flooded with
water from the third story down.
Mrs. Pierce rents furnished and unfurn-
| ished rooms on the second and third floors.
| All the carpets and much of the furniture
| were damaged by water. AS soon as the
crowd arrived, people began carrying the
| goods out and more or less stun was smashed
| up in reckless handling during the excite
ment, Mrs. Pierce carries $500 insurance on
her household goods, which is sufficient TO
| cover all of her loss.
j. $. Reed rented unfurnished rooms on
| the second floor. The damage to his goods
| Will be quite little and he has no insurance.
| MIR. Ilcknor, the restaurant man, who has
| been Hooded out a half dozen times within
| the last six weeks, loses heavily again, with
| no insurance whatever
! The Brigham Printing company Will be
| the heaviest loser. 1t estimates that the
stock and machinery is damaged l,50O.
| lhere Is no insurance on the stock, but the
damage to the machinery is fully covered.
! The carpets on one floor of the Delmonico
hotel were damaged considerably by water.
The origin of the fire is mystery The
| fire began burning on the west side of the
wall on level with the roof Of the adjoin-
ing building, There is u brick chimney on
both sides of the spot where the fire started,
| but there had been no fire in either
| chimney for hours. One theory is that
| sparks set fire to n bunch of rags and rub
bish that might have accumulated on the
| roof and another is that it was caused by
| spontaneous combustion, the heat setting
| fire to the pitch in the boards on the side of
the wall Another theory is that it was the
work of an incendary. But little damage
was done to the building. The workmen in
Brighams printing Office thought they
smelled something like old rags burning
about 10 o'clock in the morning, but after
making an investigation found nothing, and
thought no more of the matter until after
| the fire alarm was sent in

Joe Spaulding and G. Wesley undertook
the job of running "The Omaha" steam
boat which ran on Lake Manawa until this
season, over the placid waters of Cut OF
lake Tuesday night. They went to Court
land beach to serve the writ of replevin
which was mentioned in yesterdays BEE as
having been issued from Justice Fields
court in favor of Zimmerman & Condin, who
claimed right to possession by virtue of a
chattel mortgage executed by John Madden.
lhere had been attempts bmade to levy on
the boat on the Nebraska side, but Madden
got wind of it and kept the boat in Iowa
water. Spaulding and Wesley were accord
ingly sent to interview him. with the result
that the owners, for the time being al least,
changed hands
When the two officials had secured posses
sion they proceeded to ru4 the boat not very
gracefully to be sure, buG they managed to
keep the smokestack out of water, Wesley
acting as engineer, fireman and captain and
Spaulding as pilot and first mate. They took
the boat to the Nebraska landing, where it
was delivered up to Zimmerman and Condin,
who drummed up passengers and started off
on pleasure trip Wesley had built up too
hot fire. as later developments showed, for
the upper deck caught fire from the smoke
stack. Zimmerman clambered up to ex-
tinguish the little blaze, but missed his foot
ing and fell into the water head over heels.
The water was only two feet deep at that
point, fortunately, and he was rescued
without any serious results
