Of the city.

day last by one Of the outgoing steam

a very dark cloud. In fact, he was
warned out Of town by a coinmit-

to cav cards with those who q so

Then there was ar explosion. He was

A HORRIBLE CRIME.

The arrest OF an %incendlary in the act
Of firing a tenement-house at midnight
in which one hundred and ten persons,
men. women and children, lay asleep.
Is one OF the most terrible police ex-
perienoes OF the day. Nc more horrible
crime could LAY entered into the most
fiendish Imagination. The fire was set
in the cellar. underneath the store. and
as the most effective combustibles were
used n the whole place was saturated
with kerosene. the flames vol have
spread with fearful rapidity. and all
escape for the inmates would have been
cut of.
The sole object OF this terrible crime
was the desire of the proprietor of the
store to secure the insurance on his
stock OF goods. which he had already
removed to a place Of safety. The at
tempt to defraud the insurance CON-
pany was the most trifing feature of
the crime.
Formerly arson In a dwelling house
was punishable by death. Certainly
every wretch implicated in this hend-
ish attempt should be put out of the
active world within the walls OF a
State prison for the remainder Of his
life

PROSPECTS OF REFORM.

The Senate caucus at Albany last
night seems to ave secured the passage
OF two of the bills regarded az reform
measures and pressed by those who are
anxious to overthrow the control of
Tammany over the city government.
1t by no means renders II certain
that they will become laws, as after
passage they will nave to run the gaunt-
let of the Executive Chamber.
One of these bills Is that empow cring
the next Mayor to remove all heads Of
departments in the city government and
to appoint their SUCCESSORS. The other
is the bill to partially correct the abuses
Of the Dock Department by requiring
that close corporation, the Dock Com
mission. to have all work costing over
too hundred n fifty dollars lone by
., intact the same as in all other de-
rartments.
The first bill would effectually get rid
OF the present municipal rule II an anti
Tammany Mayor should be chosen next
November. 1t would give the next
Mayor the power, when elected. to re-
and appoint th!rty-one Commits
sloners in ten Boards, Police, Parks,
Docks. Health. Excise, Fire. Charities
and Correction, Accounts. Subways and
Taxes and Assessments, besides the
seven School Commissioners. a Corpora
ton Counsel, a Superintendent OF Public
Works. a City Chamberlain, n Commits
sioner of Street Cleaning. a Commits
sioner Of Jurors and a Supervisor OF the
City Record.
The aggregate sala ries OF these off,

eral patronage of the offices. amount to
about four hundred thousand dollars n

depend on the single choice OF a Mayor.
It would of course form a powerful en-

Measure Of reform applied to one OF the
most irresponsible and loosely managed

Wilson Is the engineer for the Morgan
