Lagonda Hotel Quilted.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 30.-Con-
nection was secured at 3 o'clock
this morning with Springfield, o.,

latter office, the train dispatcher
says: 1.-TWO engines arrived. at
2:l5 this morning from Dayton,
and with the assistance of the 10.
cal department, the fire was soon
under control of the force. The
flames were confined to the Lagoon
da hotel building, the interior of
which is completely Quilted, to-
gether with all the stores, offices
etc., located in the building. A
number of the guests Of the hotel
were taken out in semi-conscious
state from the effects of the smoke,
but it is thought all will recover.
AS far as / am able to learn at this
hour, no one was seriously injured
further than above mentioned.
The telephone system, the lines Of
which pass the Lagonda hotel
block, is completely useless and
no communication can be had
with any part Of the city by that
means. Western Union Telegraph

hotel block is destroyed, and no
wires running through the office

Interstate Commerce Matters

CONCORD, n. H., Oct. 30.-Sena-
tor William E. Chandler has for
warded a letter to Hon. VIM. r.
Morrison, at Washington, in refer.
ence to a communication to the
New Hampshire senator from
Railroad Commissioner Knapp.
Senator Chandler suggests that it
would be decidedly more advan-
tageous to have the New York
business Of the commission done
by Chauncey M. Depew, at the
Grand Central station, New York
City, or at Mr.. J. Pierpont Nor
gan's Office, than through Mr..
Knapp at Washington.
"The curtain should" he says,
"be speedily rung down on the
Knapp farce. When the pending
gigantic pooling contract came to
his ears, he proclaimed that the
commission could have nothing to
do with it. He now writes to me
that he did not say in terms that
the commission had nothing to dc
with it, but only, with it the com,
mission has no power to DEAL
"Mr. Chairman, it is not with
Mr.. Knapp that the people have to
do and will deal; it is with you

so to the public. He may find he

ARRESTED WITHOUT CAUSE.
CnTarranted Action of "a Police
man Will Make Trouble.

j. W. Macarthur was before Judge
Orr yesterday, charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses. He is a
laboring man employed by a contract
ing firm in this city. Recently he re-
cefved from his employers an order on
themselves for a certain amount in
return for his services. Macarthur took
the order to Herr Bros, the clothiers.
on East Seventh street, who cashed it
for him. When the order was re-
turned to the makers they refused to
honor it, claiming that they had, in
error, made it out for a larger sum
than was then due Macarthur Herr
Bros. thereup6n induced officer Han
son, of the Margaret street station, TO
arrest Macarthur. The latter was
locked up Tuesday.
Yesterday Attorney Butcher laid the
matter before an assistant city attor-

agreed that the action of the officer

VERDICT NOT EXCESSIVE.
Judge Kelly Denies n New Trial
of Il Peculiar Case.

Judge Kelly yesterday filed an order
denying the motion of defendant for a
new trial in the case of Mary Lucy
against the Chicago Great Western
road. Mrs. Lucy got a judgment for
$3.50 damages because a fellow named
Curtis, who was drunk and carrying a
jug of whisky, called her "old Ratchet
face" and used other opprobTious lam
guage toward her while she was riding
on one of defendants trains, the con-
ductor refusing to compel the intruder
to properly conduct himself or get Off
the train. Judge Kelly thinks the evil
dence was sufficient to sustain the YER
dict, adding in his memorandum:
Carriers for hire are charged with a
high degree of care in protecting pas
sengers, especially women. 1t is a
fact, creditable alike to the efficiency
Of such carriers and to American man
hood. that every year hundreds of
thousands of ladies travel alone and
unprotected by escort, yet with perfect
safety. 1t is, therefore, very seldom
that a case of this sort reaches the
courts.
No doubt the jury, having all these
we'll known facts in view, made plain
tiff's damages a somewhat round sum,
to keep the standard of excellence at
its appropriate level. While this YER
dict is larger than 1 would have given,
L cannot say that it is excessive with
in the rule laid down."

KICKING ON ASSESSMENTS.
Protests on Tax Returns Are
Heard by the EquaIizers.

A number of property owners ap-
peared before the board of equaliza-
ton yesterday and protested against
their assessments, most of the COM
plants being with reference to the
valuation placed on personal property,
chiefly household goods.
Anthony Yoerg Sr. claimed that the
valuation placed on his personal prop
erty, including that in his brewery,
was too high compared with the as
sessment on other brewers. His esti-
mate to the assessor was $3.50, but
this had been raised to $1,000. The
board cut it down to 1856.
The assessment of the Eclipse Drug
company was also cut down from
So, $50 to $1,000, the estimate submitted
by the proprietor.
BARLEY Connolly, who runs a saloon
at 944 Jackson street, went away in a
high fever because the board refused
to reduce his assessment. He wanted
it cut from S315 to $500. The assessor
included in his property gold watch.

watch nor never expected to, nor did

John Steeh will be tried tomorrow in

terry. Yesterday morning he explained
to Judge Orr that he had physically
rebuked another man the night before.
The latter, however had just insulted
passing woman, and John, after
breathing a brief prayer to the spirit
of Bayard, the chevalier sans peur ct
sans reproche,' took firm hold of his
own right fist in lieu of a trusty lance,
and challenged the insulter to mortal
combat. The ignoble stranger was fair
ly endorsed and Sir John was about to
send him to learn his mete and con-
dign punishment from the lips of the
weeping princess concealed beneath a
red shirt waist and a sailor hat. when
Officer Fitzgerald appeared. In spite,

Fitzgerald is more familiar with the

He therefore arrested Sir John in the

manner.

trip, of course, will be a. Democratic
movement, the members of the party
delivering addresses at the principal
points in the states traversed. Senator
Morgan's initial address will be de-
livered at Duluth. He has been CIV
ing particular study to the improve
ment of lake navigation, particularly
as to the enlargement of the Sault Ste.
Marie, believing it to be the duty of
congress TO make an appropriation
speedily to improve this canal so as
to admit of the passage of the largest
deep-sea vessels at all times and in
all stages of weather and water. AS
[ understand it, he likewise has the
idea that 1t would be a good thing to
improve the waters of the upper Mis-
sissippi by turning the head waters
of Lake Superior into Lake Itasca or
at some other point of the upper Mis-
sissippi. and then build a ship canal
around st. Anthony falls, at Minneap-
oils. Senator Morgan is also a great
advocate of the construction of the
Nicaragua canal. Senator Morgan will
positively deliver an address in Min
neapolis, and, possibly, one in st. Paul,
and, if desired by Democrats in other
localities, he or other members of the
party may go to such points as are
named at the head of this letter. You
have no doubt seen in the public prints
notices of this proposed movement,
and l wish you would confer with the
leading Democrats at your place re-
garding it, and I will be glad to hear
from you and to have the promise of
your cooperation so far as your poll
tics will allow you to make Senator
Morgan's trip in Minnesota pleasant
He will give special attention to the
subject of enlargement of the inland
waters of the United States. If you
are a Democrat we want your active
cooperation, otherwise such as your
politics will permit.

ECHO OF TERRITORIAL DAYS.
Daughter Seeks to Recover Her
Fathers Personal Effects.

Clerk of Court Rogers yesterday re-
ceiYed a letter on a matter that will
excite recoliections of bygone days in
the minds of the old-timers in this
city. 1t came from Mary L. Rosser
Calvert, daughter of j. Travis Rosser.
who was secretary of the territorial
government from 1858 to 1857. Mrs.
Calvert is now living at Upperville
Farbuier county, Virginia, and she
is trying to get track of some
personal effects that belonged to
her father in the early days, specially
a piano and some valuable oil paint
1ngs. She says that when her father
left here in 1861 and went to Virginia,
he left his personal effects in care of
some one whose name she does not
know. but she thinks it was some
judge. Her father died in 1866. her
mother dying some time before, and as
all his papers were destroyed in the
Richmond fire., she is unable to ascer-
tain with whom he left the property.
She is especially anxious about the
paintings, which she thinks have prob
ably been preserved. She thinks the
piano has probably long ago become a
wreck.

FRAUD Is Charged, and Judge Otis
Grants an Injunction.

Andreas Widner yesterday began an
action III the district court to restrain
Emil Christensen and his wife from
transferring a note and mortgage for
$50, alleged to have been secured from
plaintiff by fraud, and to have the
same declared void. According to the
allegations of the complaint, Widner
on May Is last offered Christensen
Sl5 bonus to secure a loan of $500 for
him. Christensen represented that if
plaintiff would give him a mortgage
for 1878 he would turn over the $500 to
him within an hour The mortgage
was accordingly given, the name of the
mortgage being omitted. Christian
sen inserted the name of his wife as
mortgage and had the instrument re-
corded, but has never paid over the
$500. The plaintiff alleges that Chris
Hansen was about to transfer the
mortgage to third party. Judge Otis
