the building was formerly the Mcr. chants hotel. but at the time of the fire was unoccupied. The he-buildng is owned to the Consolidated road.
 Next to the smediey building Is the county bank. At one time 1t looked as though this buildings was in danger. The skylisht was broken and some water trickled through. but the build- ing. however. was practically unin- jured.

Ford company were also at times in danger. but escaped without damage. When the flames were fiercest the Ford building seemed to be In i'm minent peril.
 The firemen did heroic service and fought the flames like demons, and in consequence succeeded in keeping the fire within limits. The police also did excellent service. and admirably kept the large crowd present from impeding ehS phoSItbb Ol tHe llTeTlen.
 The City market was formerly, as most people are aware, the old Union depot and passenger station of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road. The plans for the building and tower were made by the late Harry Austin, who was for half a century prominent in his profession here. The building was erected about forty-eight years ago and was accounted at the time one of the best railroad stations of those days in the New England states outside of Boston and Provi- dence. Upon the erection of the new Union passenger station the premises were converted into q city market, which they have since been used for, the railroad company still retaining it's right to call 1t a passenger station by stopping train. or two there.
 Owing to the fall of debris from the burning building upon the railroad track all late trains were delayed, and Superintendent Waterbury established a train dispatching office in the West ern Union office for the night.
 MT. John B. Judson and his right hand man were about closing their premises for the night when the fierce explosion of fireworks took place. Mr Judson escaped through one door on the Union street side. and his assistant, being unable to reach that door, had to burst open another door by main force, fleeing for his life minus his coat and other effects. ~
 It was estimated that there were at least 5000 people witnessing the fire, in cluded among whom were many ladies who had accompanied relatives to the scene of confederation.

 civil war. "
 q believe this as firmly as believe !. in the ultimate success of our cause. 'Bloodshed will follow and % per cent. of the United States will be ar- rayed against the other 10 per cent. | Tt is unfortunate that conditions ! have become such as to force the labor ing people into resistance. but 1t is cor poratlon greed and averice alone that has brought us to the verge ota revolu- / .(tion. If blood is shed in this struggle IL be the railroad managers and the ofh- cials who were misled by them who are ( to blame. Matters have long been work Yang to this climax, and unless some- ,4hing is speedily done look to see the country plunged into desperate strug- gle from which labor will rise victo- F.rious and the American laborer will be tonce more upon his just and rightful throne es a freeman.

Vow Jersey RennhIicnns Unhsld.

The New Jersey senatorial deadlock has
been broken by the decision of the supreme
court upholding the Republican senate as
the rightful upper house of the legislature
of that state. The trouble arose early this
year when the Democrats set up the un-
warranted claim that the senate is a con-
tinuing body, and the hold-over senators
could therefore pass upon the certificates of
the newly y-elected Republican members. AS
the seats of none of the new members
were contested, the action of the hold-over
Democrats was arbitrary and indefensible
from any standpoint of political honesty
and fair dealing, The decision of the su-
preme court upholding the legality of the
senate organized by the Republicans will
be far-reaching in its effects, and is espec-
tally blow at the race-track gambling in
terests which the people of New Jersey re-
voted against at the election last Novem-
Der.
The New Jersey supreme court is com
posed politically, of five Democrats and
three Republicans, and there was only one
dissenting voice in this decision.

In spasm of hot-headed fury last week
Gov. Waite of Colorado called out the
militia to dispossess the police and fire
boards of Denver, who refused to vacate
when he told them to. The excitement
was at white heat, and it is believed in
Denver that but for the presence of Unit
ed States regulars there would have been
precipitated a riot, likely to have caused
bloodshed, involving the life of the govern
or himself, who has now agreed to do what
he should have done in the first place-sub-
NIT to the supreme court the legal points
involved in the removal of the municipal
boards. 1t was Gov. Waite, it will be re-
membered, who, last summer, made him
self notorious by his reckless denunciation
of Congress for not passing free coinage
law, declaring himself ready to "ride in
blood to the bridle's bit'' against the imag-
mary prosecutors of the miners. Last
weeks excitement developed the fact that
the governors wife is even more blood
thirsty and radical than her hurband, and
in this respect is doubtless a sort of power
and inspiration behind the throne. She
appeared at one of the public meetings
and in a speech painful in its intensity de-
clared that if she had her way she would
order out every militiaman in the state and
head the whole force against the city hall,
and the fight should go on until the last
national guardsman lay dead on the pave
ment."
