THE EIGHTH FIRE


The fire department was called out for
the eighth lime since May Tuesday morn
ing at 40. The fire was in Patrick Mo
rams house on Williams street. The / of
the house, where the fire broke out, was
destroyed, and the main part of the one and
one-half story part Quilted SO badly that it
will probably be cheaper 10 build anew
than TO use a part of the burned building
in rebuilding.
The fire was discovered by Miss Moran
who arose to get some medicine for her
mother, who was ill., The fire when dis
covered was under good Roadway in the l..
The neighborS were soon aroused, and
Frank O DOnnell ran to the box near Lewis
Neaw' house on Brge street and pulled in
the alarm, The alarm worked perfectly
Steamer No. 3 was al the Fletcher pond in
seven minutes after the alarm was sounded,
and a minute later had on pressure of 40
pounds. Water was taken all right. but
gravel as large as could pass through the
strainer got under the suction valve and
stopped operations. II was necessary TO
work TO get the gravel out, and the steamer
did not throw a stream upon the fire until
p minutes after the alarm. 4 stream
from the hydrant at the corner of Elliot
street was being played be ore this. The
Elliot hose company laid line of hose from
the hydrant, to which the hose of No. 6
was spliced. The length of the hose from
the hydrant was 1900 feet, and that laid
from the steamer 900 feet.
Soon after the streams were being played
the fire was under control and the recall
was rung in 81 minutes after the alarm.
Most of the movable goods were saved.
Miss Moran mourns the loss of her fine
dresses.
The cause of the fire was a defective
chimney. The loss is probably $1,000. Mr..
Moran had $1,000 insurance on the house
and $500 on the contents through the
agency of Cudworth 4 Chlds.

ALL-NlGHT SCENES.
YEARLY the Hours Dragged Them
selves Out in the Senate.
Mr.. ALLEN BREAKS The RECORD.
He Talks With Little Intermission
for Nearly Fifteen Hours.
STRANGE DAYLIGHT SCENES

The night session Of the Senate was a
peculiar one Senator Allen took the floor
at bI5 in the afternoon, and without any
Interruptions, except such as were purely
Incidental. he had the floor all night. He
proved himself an able and indefatiga-
BILE talker. At no time did his voice fail
him and even when the clerk was calling
the roll to secure a quorum, he stood erect
and ready to proceed with his remarks.
Not for one moment did he falter; not for
one moment did he lose his self-possession;
not for one moment did he show that he
was talking against time. Clad in a dark
suit. his collar being adorned with a black
tie. In the oppressive atmosphere Of the
Senate. he did not weaken for an instant.
but with great vigor calculated his finan-
cial views. Although he was talking against
time. he was listened to with attention by
the Senators present.
During the early part OF the evening the
galleries were packed to repletion, and they
remained so until about o'clock Then they
began to lose their occupants, but several
hundred persons remained. including two
ladies who had been in the gallery since
III O'Clock. The freshest man on the floor
was the speaker. Mr. Allen. Mr.. Voorhees,
was entirely worn out He would OCCASION
ally take book In his hand, but his head
would soon fall upon his chest and his eyes
would close in slumber. Other Senators,

poraneous speaking and was reading the
peroration Of his speech. 1t was a polished
EFFORT; and MIR. Wolcott. who had been at
his desk for some time preoccupied with
something that had diverted his attention.
sudden My arose and said: May I ask the
Senator from what he is readingT "A
slight production Of my own" replied Mr..
Allen; whereat the Senate, quick to catch
the humor of the situation broke into a
hearty and rather un-senatorial guffaw. Mr..
Wolcott was evidently taken aback and
embarrassed when he saw the blunder he
had made. Il liked it extremely" said he.
and was anxious to know what 1t was"
These were some Of the incidents attending
the first night and the early hours Of the
second day Of prolonged struggle.
The air was thick with the mists Of an
early fall morning and the daylight strug-
gled with difficulty through the ground
glass panels of the ceiling. But feeble as
it was. it still afforded welcome relief
from the glare Of gaslights, and seemed to
exercise revivifying influence upon the
Wearied Solons, although their faces showed
the unhealthy gray tint that betokened long
and severe mental and physical strain. Mr..
voorhees, raliled notably and Mr.. Hill look
ed as If he were capable Of a campaign of
indefinite length. Mr.. Smith of New Jersey
also looked fresh. and the venerable Palmer

gave An earnest of his purpose to stick 1t
out for three years if necessary. as he had
declared last night, by the cheerfulness
with which he remained at the front. Mr..
Harris of Tennessee was still as alert as of
yore, and 1t was a noticeable fact that the
older Senators. who had been expected to
first show signs Of distress, were holding
out with show Of vigor that their juniors
emulated with ill success.
About 9 o'clock Mr.. Sherman appeared
and signalized his return to the floor by
asking whether his vote had been recorded
on the PETER amendment and, receiving an
affirmative answer. settled back in his seat
and turned to his correspondence.
Morning Incident.
1t was not until o'clock this morning
that there was any trouble arising from the
absence of Senators or their failure to vote
At that hour a quorum was not present and
few minutes later. when Mr.. Voorhees,
made motion to lay on the table the PEI
fer resolution to amend the bill, the Senate
was for some time embarrassed by the fail
ure OF quorum to respond to their names.
Then came up the most Interesting Incl
dent OF the prolonged session-the attempt,
at the instigation Of MIR. Villas, to make
Mr.. Dubois vote. In accordance with the
rules, Mr.. Dubois was required to make an
excuse. which he did by complaining that
there was irregularity in the transfer of
