In the first place, he said. he wanted
to show the attitude OF the police to the
citizens OF New York. as disturbers
and breakers of the peace, and as dan
gerous to the lives and safety OF the
citizens. To do this he would show the
number of accusations OF assaults upon
citizens by the police and the number
OF convictions under such charges
He had found only four dsmlssals
during the last three years although
more than 100 charges had been pre-
ferred and ninety convictions had;
In the second place, he proposed to
show oy evidence of witnesses and rec
ords OF the Police Department that to
an intents and purposes the police
force or New York wasseNempted from
the operation of the law Of the land.

The treasury officials arc experiencing great
difficulty in securing a suitable site for the

The result OF the whole thing Is that Con

ginning 10 inquire whether mint is needed
at Philadelphia. Some days ago Representa-
tative Mooney introduced resolution Of in
quiry concerning it. and II is now understood
that a scheme is on foot to repeal the act pro
vidlng for the erection Of a mint In PhIladcl
phia and establish one In Denver. The Car
son City mint, which is said to have the finest
machinery OF any OF the mints, is TO be dis
mantled and the machinery moved 10 Den

GREAT FIRE IN BOSTON.

By great fire in Boston on the 18th, 500
families of the medium and poorer classes. con
sisting of over :, 900 people are homeless, aud
many OF them lost everything.
The fire started in the Boston League Park
IN a pile OF lumber which was lying under
the right field blcachers directly back of hrs,
base. In a moment 1t had lcapcd out to the
seats, and famed by brisk breeze swept to-
ward the grand stand. So rapidly did the
flames spread that before the occupants of
the grand stand realized It, tho fire was upon
them and they were forced to fee. 1t was
several minutes before the firemcn were AT
work.
Meanwhile the sparks had fallen upon the
houses Of Berlin street and the flames surscd
on towards fremont street, reaching out to
the right and left until the entire square be-
tween the ball grounds and fremont street,
and extending north from Walpole street TO
Burke street was a mass OF burning buildings.
Al 5 o'clock the entire block aloag the west
side of fremont street, from Walpole to
Burke mass OF flames, which swept
across TO the opposite side and soon cngulfcd
the buildings for four blocks.
Ry this time the residents OF the tcncmcnts
for nearly half mile around had become
alarmed and were moving their property into
the streets and seeking places of safety. So
rapidly did the fire cat Its way. however, that
those in the block adjoining fremont stree,
did not have time to save their household cf-
fects and barely escaped with their lives.
Shortly after O'Clock several steamers ar
rived from Lynn, Salem, Beverly, Brooklinc
and other places aud every effort was made to
stop the fire at Cabol street, hut II could no,

southeast, the FIRE was practically stopped,
and mt I 80 the fire was under control and in
no danger OF spreading further.
1t Ia estimated about 100 buildings have
been burned. A special meeting Of the

to understand that the water of the Schuyl-

Chicago, at the Columbian Exposition, visit
ors were similarly taught to dread the water
Of Lake Michigan. In both places II was
deemed necessary TO partake freely OF beer or
wine, or at least to put little brandy or
whisky into the water. Occasionally one OF
the visitors had satisfactory evidence, from
his personal experience, that his cautious
friends had reason for sounding note OF
warning on this point. After eating an un-
ripe melon walking about in the hot sun for
.hree or four hours looking at the exhibits,
drinking several glasses of Lemonade, and
making lunch of fried chicken and ice
cream, he had a sense of faintness. with a
