A Noted Fire-sug Under Arrest.

4" -NotCo hC-sbu luG hAECbt
Francis NJ. Logan, an incendiary
with a remarkable record, is under ar
rest at Kansas City.
He set fire to lumber yards in Kansas City,
and was arrested. The story told by Logan
has no parallel in the history OF criminals.
He left home when a boy Of 10. and early in
his wandcrin2s was arrested and imprisoned
on the charge Of vagrancy. When he regained
his liberty he began, for revenge, q
career OF crime, vowing to destroy as
much property as possible. That was
over thirty years ago. and since
that time he has burned buildings in many
states, and has served seventeen years in peni-
tentiaries. a few days ago he went to Odessa,
Mo-, and met his father, whom he had not seen
since he quit his home in 1864. From Odessa
ne went to Kansas City 10 kindle 4 blaze and
pave the way for another term in the peni-
Tertiary. outside of which he feels lost, and Is
unable to make a living. He says Of himself:
Il served four years and four months in the
penitentiary at Michigan City. Ind, for setting
hre to 4 train of ears at indianapolis. On the
9TH OF June 1892, 1 went to the Provincial
prison at Kingston. Ont, on a seven-year SEN
tence for firing a canal-boat lock at st. Cath
crime, Can. l set fire to the lock at night,
and when it was blazing good 1 ran
down the wharf u short distance and
fired a big lumber yard. They caught
me for this. and 1 served a full sentence
OF seven years. During the big strike in Penn
sylvania in 1877 l set fire to a train Of cars on
the Pennsylvania Central. That's one Of the
biggest jobs l ever did. 1 fired a big barn in
Manchester, N. H, and another in Rhode
Island. They were both full of horses. l set a
pile OF cotton bales on fire in New Orleans and
got fo1r years in Baton Rouge for the job"

A POLITICAL FIGHT BETWEEN THE
ms AND OUTS.
THE PEOPLE WITH PEIxOTo.

Thomas Common, a Coffee Grower.
Says That 1t Was a Lively
lime ut First, and MeIlo Start
ed in to Tear Down the Town
-He Says Peixoto Will Win in
the End.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Thomas Common, of
this city, has just returned from Brazil,
where he has been looking after the
coffee interests of his business house.
He was in Rio at the time of the out
break of the MellO rebellion. A politi-
cal fight between the ''outs" and ''ins."
Mello and his party became jealous of
Peixoto's influence and distribution Of
patronage. They attempted to drive
him out. but he would not go. and the
people are with him. The lombard
ment of the city by M clio started in to
tear down the town. The interference
OF the naval force of the other nations,
at the request of the business element,
confined Mello's operations to the forts
at the harbor entrance and in the rear
of the town. There is very little differ

from the pre-rebellion period. 1t is not
true that the people of Rio are opposed
TO Peixoto. He has the confidence OF
the citizens and business interests, save
the English. He has, with the militia,
10000 men under arms, all of whom,
with probably some exceptions. are loyal
to his government. He is in the right.
He has given Brazil sound administra-
ton, and l belieue he will win
the fight. The Intervention of
the foreign war vessels to prevent
a blockade of the port permits
the expectation of coffee, and the export
duty, being paid. keeps the treasury of
the government in good condition.
Mello recognizes this fact, and it is ter
ribly exasperatng to him to see the
coffee-laden vessels go by his fleet day
after day. Once in possession of the
coffee duty he would have things his
own way. Coffee rules in Brazil, and
he is the president who holds its purse
strings, spite OF forts and the rebellious
fleet. With the Nictheroy and America
that PelXotO purchased in New Yotk,
there ought to be no trouble in chasing
the insurgent fleet from Rio, aud that
once done, the affair is over.
