ANOTHER FIRE.
A House Occupied By DIsrepItabIe Fe-
males Goes Up In Smoke-Sup-
posed to BE IneendlarY.

About O'Clock this morning the
peaceful quiet of the city was start
led by the report of fire arms and
cries of fire. The scene was quickly
located as the blaze shot high in the
stin night air. II proved to be the
house known as 80, on East Main
street, and occupied by horde of
disreputable females. So rapid was
the progress of the flames that the
occupants barely escaped with their
lives, clad only in their night gar
ments.
One of the women, by the name Of
Ollie Jeffries, was severely burned
about the breast and head. Another
who got lost in the smoke fell down
stairs and was dragged out from a
fiery tomb. lt is also learned that
some of their male companions were
forced to leave, minus their clothing.
From one of the inmates it is learn
ed that the work was undoubtedly
that of an incendiary, and that coal
oil had been poured not only on the
outside of the building, but also
| through the hall ways and the stair
case. This same informant saws
there is $500 insurance on a piano,
and $500 on the furniture, but the
writer has failed to locate the insur-
ance company. The building was
insured for a small amount.

LOT JUMPING.
Zsm~aIt Takes PoA.es.Ion of the Let
From which the House wss Barn
ed This AornInG.

Early this morning before the FIRE
had died out Of the ruins Of Hazel
Burbanks' house, the lot was taken
possession OF and fenced by n man
claiming Indian citizei. ei.ship, by the
name OF Zumwalt, he holding n deed
for same from A. b. Ron.
In view OF the fact that the woman
held a receipted rental contract
from Mr.. Ron showing that she had
paid all dues for 1885 and the fur
ther fact that thousands Of dollars
worth of property in all parts Of the
city Is occupied by virtue Of similar
title, the announcement that the lot
in question had been jumped, Great
ed the widest excitement. The ac-
ton % Zumwalt was loudly and en-
phatically condemned and but for
better counsel prevailing the result
would have created still greater ex-'
citement.
No one denies the genuineness Of
Zumwalt's deed, but owing 10 the
absence from home Of Mr.. Ron, his
statement Of the circumstances at
I tending his making IL could not be
had. II Is confidently expected that
he can throw light on the affair,
showing that his connection with the
transaction was HONORABLE and that
it was not intended that the deed
given should take priority over the
title held by virtue Of the rental con-
tract.
II such high handed methods are
allowed 10 be practiced, no man
holding such titles j. safe. His inn
provements may be destroyed as
were those last night, either design
edly or accidentally, and with IL goes
all right aud title. Such a rule in
vites arson, in fact places Il at 4
premium.
IL the ARDMoREITE understands
the temper OF Ardmore's people, lot
jumping is a practice that neither
they nor the courts viii tolerate. II
should not be tolerated, nor do w
believe that in order to suppress H.
violence - necessary. The Indians
nor their courts will not sanction any
such high handed scheme
Judge Kilgore granted an injunc
tion restraining zumwalt from hold
.. ing or improving the lot until tn,
solidity Of his authority has been dc
termined.

PENITENTIARY ROTTENNESS.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 26.-The
penitentiary committee today examin-
ed j. p. Fulcher of the firm that secured
the contract for building the new peni.
Tertiary. Mr.. Fulcher began by stating
that his company was willing to release
the State from the contract provided
they were reimbursed for the money
already expended. He denied all knowl-
edge of anything crooked and knew
nothing of the expenditure of money in
any way. He denied that the plans or
specifications had been changed in any
way since the contract was awarded.
II. P. Mcdonald, of Louisville, show.
ed wherein the plans adapted were ex-
travagant and several hundred thou
sand dollars could have been saved the
State by striking out the extravagances.
Tonight j. NJ. Donaldson, of Frank
lin County, told what he knew about
the Franklin County lands that the
commission agreed ON but which Gov.
Turney declined to purchase.
He said, G.. G. Phillips, one of the
syndicate told him on his death bed
that Commissioner Mcdowell, one of
the p~enitentiary commissioners, was
an equal partner with the three men,
bers of the syndicate aud was to have
received one fourth of the expected
profit of S15, 900.

The Americans Paradise.

1t is an old saying, that GOOD
Americans, when they die go to Paris"
but the majority of the Americans,
good and bad alike, in these days of
rapid ocean transit, don't wait until
they have passed from this mundane
sphere, but embrace the first favorable
opportunity of visiting la belle France,
and many and ludicrous are the cpl
sodes resulting from the lack of knowl-
edge of the French language and Gus
toms. In a most amusing and hand
somely illustrated article, IAN Ameri
cans Mistake in Paris,' published in
Demorest's Magazine for April, the
trials and blunders of one American
are told in a highly entertaining style
and while n laughs heartily at the
visitors mishaps, the causes that
brought them about are made so clear
that those who read will be forearmed,
on these special points, at least, when

THRIFTY CONGRESSMAN
Saved Stationery and Mileage and Sold
Documents and Seed.

DOCuIlcntS anu Sttu.
Evidence is multiplying to show that
some of the members of the Fifty Third
Congress were thrifty fellows, and
that they did not let anything getaway
from them. The latest indication of
this fact, coming upon the top of con
siderable gossip and rumor of a similar
nature, is the detection of a Represen-
tative in the act of selling to the Depart
ment of Agriculture the quota of gar,
den seed issued to him by the Govern
ment.
The report of the clerk of the House
of Representatives, issued just before
the adjournment of Congress shows
that a large number of Representatives
did not Draw any stationery during the
three sessions of Congress, butinstead
took the 1875 in cash, the equivalent of
their stationery accounts. Of course
they had a right to do this under the
law, but the gossips say that in many
cases the members of the House used
the stationery furnished to the commit.
tees of which they were members there
by enabl ing them to get along without
touching their own accounts. Each
committee was furnis he'd q certain
amount of stationery, and the full quo
ia was usually drawn.
The mileage privilege, of course is
an old story, and the Congressman had
a rich haul in it for three sessions. The
men who lid not travel on passes " ere
very few in number, but they all raked
off the mileage. Railroad passes were
usually plentiful in the last Congress
owing to the pending railway legisla.
ton, and those members who were
sharp suppl ed themselves with annual
passes, which would enable them to do
a little travelling during the summer.
Evidences are plentiful of wholesale
disposals of Government publications
by members of the House. There was
a large distribution of books among
the outgoing members, and some of the
volumes were valuable. Many of
these have been bought, it is said, by
dealers, who paid the Congressman
cash and who expect to realize a profit
upon the sale of the books in the flu.

The Agricultural Department has re.
Gently been Obliged to purchase zoe
copies of one of its own publications
paying the bookseller fifty cents a copy
Of course, the dealer had bought them
from Congressman, knowing that there
would be later demand for the publ
cation.
The traffic in seed is a new feature OF
Congressional thrift. 1t was but recent,
that the Agricultural Department go

crooked in the seed transactions of som
members, and steps were taken to catcl
the offenders. 1t is expected that evi
dence will be obtained of several sha
