Prohibition In tho Tenth.
It IL to bo feared that the Prohibition
party Of the Tenth Ward either has been
weakened by the strong Sociaiistic ten
cency or for some other reason is not in
the h0urisbiDg condition which its sup
porters might desire. The officer on duty
at the caucus last night reports no
great difficulty in maintaining order, in
asmuch as the attendance consisted OF
two men, two ladies aud one boy. There
seems to be good field for the party in
that ward.
Textile Workers Fair.
The fair OF the Textile Workers Union
is running along smoothly with the hall
crowded every night. There is lively
competition for the various articles to bs
disposed of on the combination tickets.
Last evening the Pequot Social
Club and he cadets band were the guests
OF the evening. Tonight the X. j. Brass
Band will be on deck, and the Lymsnans-
vile and Manton Textile unions will visit
the hall in body.
Fire on Latham Street.
An alarm OF fire at 80 this morning
brought out the Rough .and Ready fire
company TO attend to blaze in barn on
Latham street. The barn was owned
by Daniel Brown and was built
on land leased of Lpke Hanlev.
The three horses kept there were safely
taken out, the name OF one being scorched
little. The entire loft, with perhaps
bali ton of hay ana some miscellaneous
property, was consumed and there was not
much left OF the rest OF tho building.
IL made quite a blaze while II lasted and
attracted g crowd OF the late travellers.
The origin OF the ire is unknown. 1t is
thought to have been caused by spark
from pipe.
w ar on tue square.
That there were no actual hostilities on
the square yesterday afternoon Is due to
the fact that one man at least realized
that discretion was the better part OF valor.
Two men met there, both cobblers,
and therefore rivals in business,
one a Jew, the other en- Italian, and SO
rivals the more from race prejudice. The
scion of sunny Italy entered complaint
at once. He wanted work 81 promised

OF Israel. You didn't" was the answer.
" You're a liar" came back, aud then
quick as fash the Italian had knife
out. " You Gala me liar, Kill you"
he exclaimed, whereupon the Jew with
drew his charge and the case went by de-
fault.
That Cloth Stealing.
The apprehension OF Peter Herion in the
act of stealing q piece of cloth from the
Queen Dye Works last week was not the
had that crooked work was
going on. Cloth has been missed
for some time past in
small quantities, but the culprit could
never be located. Yesterday Captain
Leavitt went to the works and did his
best to mako some OF the youngsters own
but the old folks had evidently
taken the warning from Herion's
arrest and had put them on their guard.
The boys were tight as drumheads and no
evidence was obtained. Investigations
are going on, however, and there will
be developments before long.
Seriously Burned.
Mrs Gendreau, who lives at the corner
of Putnam and Appelton streets,
threw something on the fire about
half past eight this morning and
the result was blaze which
burned her severely about the arms and
body and set fire 10 the furniture. The
blaze was put out with little damage. DIR.
Dubeau was called and attended her.
