The Social world.

The social season of the winter oil
1884, so far as large gatherings are
concerned, was closed by a dancing
aud card party given under the aus
pieces Of Mr.. and Mrs. o. w. Bickford,

Gebhart's Hall, on last Thursday
evening. The dancing list was a var
led one, every number of which call
ed onto the floor a majority Of those
present. Clark's Orchestra was at
its best, and so alluring, were the
strains Of its music that several OF
our most sedate citizens took initia-
tory lessons in the art of dancing.
For the non dancers, card tables we're
provided. The hosts wed with each
other IN making the evening q pleas
ant one, and 80 well did they succeed
that more than one of the guests ex-
pressed regret that the nights pro-
gram could not be repeated. At the
midnlght's hour refreshments were
served, and as they were prepared BY
those veteran housekeepers, Mes
danes Stinson and Sallee, and served
by the balance Of the hosts, they were
highly enjoyed by all. Those present
were: Mesers and Mesdames Close,
Dunn, Gebhart, Handy, Hoffman,
Johnston, Mayors, Nipps, Rogers,
Stretton, Stinson, Tooker, Witwer,

A Welcome Surprise.

Last Saturday evening as an I'M
usually large number of tho old
soldiers had assembled in their hall
to welcome, as they supposed, several
visiting comrades from Klrwln aud
Marvin, they were very much sur
prised to hear the noise of large
crowd gathering in the ante-room.
Commander j. Nj. Sallee appointed a
committee to ascertain the cause OF
the noise which was being kept up in
the ante-room, and when the com
mittee went out they were met by
about 40 ladies Of the w. r.. @, who
demanded an immediate and uncondi-
tional surrender. The committee re-
tireo into the post room again, and
after a hasty consultation it was
thought best to yield. Commander
Sallee hoisted the white flag, and in
filed the W. r. Q. members armed
with all sorts Of eatables and a very
large kettle Of good strong coffee.
This SO pleased the commander that
he has encamped with one of tho
ladies ever since.
The surprise on the old boys was
complete, the ladies having 30 en-
tirely kept their own counsel that the
old saying Women cannot keep a
secret" was thoroughly exploded.

1t was also decided to increase the
whisky tax ten cents gallon, from
ninety cents to one dollar, to be levied
against whisky in as we'll as out of bond.
Upon representation that this increase
would work undue hardship to owners of
whisky in bond, it was decided TO extend
the bonded period from three to eight
years.
The tax on playing cards, at one time
fixed ct six cents pack. was reduced to
two cents. The contemplated tax on per-
fumes and cosmetics was discarded. No
increase was made in the tax on cigars,
but the increase on cigarettes to one dol
lar per thousand, was allowed to stand.
The committee estimate that the tax on
incomes from corporations and individ-

yiduals) will raise 30,000.000 revenue,

individual income tax failed, was not

Important Capture Made by the Police

Important Capture Made by the Police
of SaragoSsa.
MADRID, Jan. "A very important and
sensational capture has been made by the
police of Saragossa. Ever since the Liceo
Theater outrage the authorities have been
searching in vain for Salvador Franch,
known TO be the most desperate and
forceful of the anachist leaders,; but he
seemed 20 be kept fully informed as to the
intentions regarding him, and always
managed to escape the clutches of the law
il the nick of time.
1t was only after the arrest of a number
of sympathizers among the secret police
themselves that they made any headway.
Franch was finally located, and after the
most elaborate preparations and the grad
ual drawing of lines about the house, the
police made descent on his quarters.
When they burst in the door with
drawn revolvers Franch drew revolver
and shot himself in the breast, infiicting
a severe wound, ana then attempted to
swallow poison. When taken before a
magistrate he fought desperately, and
avowed completely in the Lyeeo outrage,
expressing a fiendish regret that no more
people were killed, and that he was not
able to carry out further and more bloody
outrages. He will be taken to Barcelona
for trial.

BUFFALO, Jan. almost holocaust
occurred early this morning in Mrs.
Annie Hackelt's cheap lodging-house, a
tumble-down four-story structure at II
Swan street.
The first floor was used as 6 saloon and
restaurant. the second and third floors as
sleeping and the beds were in
little compartments like stalls in stable.
1t was about A. NJ. when the panes of
glass in the saloon cracked and smoke
and flame burst out. Almost at the same
time the front and side windows of the
floors above seemed alive with panic
stricken people. They rushed from win
dow to window and called piteously to
the crowd below for assistance.
There were no fire-escapes on the build
ing. All were finally rescued except two.
who were burned to death. About twenty
were badly injured, five or more of whom
will die.
The dead are: Isaac Bradley, printer,
and the day cook, known only as Edna.
Among the more badly injured are:
Louis Anderson, burned on the head.

yid e. Ward, negro cook, badly burned,
and will probably die; Edward Cross of

A Rumor That the Former Had Been
Killed Proves n Canard.
FRESNO, Jan. 2.-Five days elapsed
since the escape of Evans, and the matter
has reached the rumor epoch. The first
one that seemed plausible was to the effect
that Evans had been killed and the posse
would arrive here with the body at 8 P. NJ.
The fact that the hour of arrival here was
given caused many to believe the rumor
for time, and many times did the Jail
officials answer the telephone in response
to inquiries in the matter. About noon
another rumor was current announcing
with recurring credulity that Evans had
been captured without battle. and that
the posse would arrive with him at P. NJ.
This, like the previous one, was run
down, but never verified. Later in the
evening a third rumor was circulated,
and announced that both Evans and Nor
rell had been killed at SIMPSONS Flat by
ex-Sheritf Mead and John White. The
previous rumors made this more readily
believed than those previous, and the
telephones were kept busy for some little
time, until it was found to be canard.

MURDER OR SUICIDE.

4 Man Found Near Woodland With
Three Bullet Holes in His Body.
WOODLAND, Jan. "A dwelling house
on c.. G.. Days ranch was burned to-
night. 1t was occupied by Ben Campbell,
a farm hand. When the flames were first
discovered a man was seen to jump from
IA window of the upper story and run
from the scene of the fire.
Later Campbell was found near the
barn in an unconscious condition with
three bullet holes in his body. Evidence
showed that he had either dragged him
self or been dragged by others from the
burning building. At first 1t was thought
TO be a case of suicide, but after he had
been removed TO the hospital here and an
examination of his wounds made. the
physicians are of the opinion that 1t Is a
case OF foul murder and arson.
Campbell is in critical condition. with
little hope of recovery, one OF the bullet
wounds being in the head.
The loss of the building was 81 200,
with no insurance.
