THEY PILLAeED AND BURNED.


sral Outrages
BRDGEPoRT, Jan. 9.-The portion of
this city known as the East Side is
greatly excited owing to the fact during
the early hours of the morning two in
cendiary fires were started and burglars
were active in their work.
Fireman Konstanzer, returning home
from the engine house at an early hour,
met two men pushing "A wheelbarrow.
The men ran away when they saw him.
The wheelbarrow contained a large guam
Jity Of groceries taken from the co-opera-
tive grocery store.
A few minutes later Konstanzer saw
smoke issuing from the First Advent
Church. The fire had gained but little
headway and was quickly extinguished
by the department. 1t had been started
in one corner with papers and in another
with the baptismal robes.
A partially finished dwelling house,
owned by c. E. Scofeld, was found on
fire about o'clock. This was also the
work of incendiaries The structure was
saved but considerable damage was done.

that it must be passed witniu q 49, -
or must give way to other matters as the
patience of the Senate is well-nigh ex-
hsusted.
Some OF the strongest opponents of the
bill have seized upon the opportunity
offered by the pendency Of the Quarantine
bill to further delay the enactment Of the
great moral measure in the hope Of de
ferring action upon it until the time ar
rives when the Senate must turn its at
tention to the annual appropriation bills
As part Of this plan, final action on the
Quarantine bin was prevented Saturday,
and that bill comes up again to-day rs

is caused By Unforeseen events, and may
easily occupy two or more days Of this
week without justifying the parliament.
ary charge that it is being used as an OBJ
truction.
So it may be that the Anti-Option bill
will not again be taken up before We'd
nesday at the earliest, but the indica-
tions are that when it is taken up there
| will be a vigorous contest brought on by
the efforts of the friends Of the bill to
force it to a vote involving, as Mr..
| Washburn has said, protractod sessions
| and much tiresOme talk
The McGgrraghan bill will FIJI in the
morning hour tomorrow and perhaps
| during the remainder Of the week, al
though it appears that it is really ap-
| preaching a final vote.
| The Raum report, the bill for the cleo
| tion Of Senators by direct vote of the
| people and the Commerce Committee with
its Omnibus Light House bill, will each
he uiyen a day

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-To the presence

Of Civil Justice Steckler today a disas-

this city. His court room is on the Sec
Ond floor of the Florence building. a
large five-story structure on the corner
of Second avenue and First street. Orig
inally built for a ball room and as
Sembly hall. subsequent changes have
so injured its stability that it has
recently been condemned by the build
ing department. The ordinary business
of the court does not call for larger
quarters in the building, but the close
of the year led to many landlord and
tenant cases. and today not only was the
court room densely crowded, but the
halls and stairways were damned. One
of the court officials. who left the court
room for a few moments and stood
across the street, tancie1 he saw the
building sway. Knowing its character
and the warnings that had been given
by the building department. ana con-
WINGED that his eyes did not deceive
him. he hurried up utO the court room.
and. making his way to she bench, said:
Judge, the building is shaking, and
may tumble down any minute" There
was an ominous crack heard just a
moment previous, ana the Judge.
grasping the situation, raped
for attention. and said: This officer
has just given me some information
which cOmpelS me to adjourn these pros
ceedings at once. All the cases called
will be heard at the Third district court
room in Jefferson market. The officers
will now clear the court. Do 0 hurry,
but get out as s0oD as you cal. Officers,
see that there is no pushing nor crowd
ing, but get these people out quickly"
They were driven out slowly, and then
it was found that the wall had actually
buiged. The crowd, headed by the
judge. walked across the city, and the
regular business vas resumed in in the
jefferson maIket court house. Every
body congratulated themselves III es-
Gaping from a calamity similar to that
