THE PRATT CITY FIRE.

The AgeHerald regrets exceedingly the heavy loss sustained by the citi- zens of Pratt City yesterday afternoon. That was a terrible fire, forty-two houses going down, besides the loss of property contained therein. The houses were con- structed of wood, the winds were blowing in favor of the spreading flames and the very heart of Pratt City was completely destroyed Fortunately there was no loss of life, save the one caused by fright This victim was Mrs. Bonner, delicate woman, whose death is much lamented
 The people of Pratt City will not be slow to rebuild their little city. They are full of courage. have excellent surround ings as a trading town and we con- fidently expect to see handsome brick business houses rise from the now waste places

A Characteristic Story From Chicago Sen
 sational and Revolting Details.

sational and Revolting Details
 Chicago, May 13.-William H. Musch, the man found bound and gagged on the railroad track, stated last night that Walter Thompson, the friend of Von Rhembows, arrested on suspicion, both barbers, had seduced his (Musch's) daughter. He had been arrested and his trial is set for the 25th of this month. On the 20th of April Musch received an unsigned letter warning him to let the case drop. He paid no attention to the communication, and on the 23d was kid mapped. The ropes used to bind Musch are in the possession of the police, and form a portion of the tangible evidence corroboPating at least part of the. strange story.
 Lieutenant Britzke is disinclined to. credit Musch's story. as he says the lat ter has bad reputat tion. The girl, Hat tie Musch, was brought to the station and charged her father with a vile crime. Musch, on the other hand, says Thomp- son, the girl and Von RhembowS are in a conspiracy to ruin him, and during his absence have won the girl cScr to make counter charges against him in order to force him to drop the prosecu- tion against Thompson Won Rhembows denied positively at the station that he knew anything of the affair, though he admitted he testified against Musch in the latters divorce trouble. He knows the girl we'll, and apparently every other detail in her life, with the possible excep- ton of her acquaintance with Thompson.

That was indeed a lively senatorial struggle in Delaware, and although Du- pont has been declared elected it is diff hcnlt to say what the august body will do which has to pass on the case at Washington The thing runs this way: There were 90 votes in the body, and to elect United States Senator required 16. But the Governor died some time ago. and the President of the Senate became acting Governor. If this man then lost his position as Senator, there were only 29 votes in the Legislature, and 15 would elect Senator. Dupont received Is votes, but nobody was able to get 16 The acting Governor claimed and exer- cised the right to act as Senator also, and If this position of his is undisngted, no election of Senator was hali. If his posi- ton can be made untenable, then of course Dupclt can successfully claim his election. Senator Sherman has all rea1y expressed the opinion that there IS no doubt about the validity of Dupont's election If the party lines be clearly drawn in the Senate, there being no clear Republican majority, Delaware may go without Senator for a season, as it will require the votes of three from the Democratic or Populist ranks to seat Dupont.

Aymar Got Six Years.

New York May 13.-Samuel E. Aymar, defaulting bookkeeper of the National Shoe and Leather bank this morning was sentenced by Judge Benedict, in the United States circuit court, criminal branch, to six and half years impris- onment in Kings county penitentiary.

T., might some times see him.

O no, Brother Sixteen-to-One, not many silver Democrats are going to quit the party. They don't have to. When the next national convention strikes free" out of the coinage plank, just as the last one did, they will vote the ticket again and go to arguing again that the party decided against 16 to 1 free coinage because everybody knew it was in favor of such free coinage. And. again, that sort of talk will not fool any body

MT Skaggs is reported as saying in his speech at the silver meeting that "Mr. Patterson said some things which were not exactly correct, and one was that President Cleveland signed a bill ap- pointing delegates to an international monetary conference" The meaning of what MT. Skaggs said is not clearly ey- ldent If he meant to correct Colonel Patterson he should have made his cor rectlon palmer. Colonel Patterson said that the ink on the Presidents pen was scarcely dry from the signing of a bill for an international monetary conference. It certainly will not be denied that MT. Cleveland signed this bill. which Con gress passed. If Mr. Skaggs meant to say that the President has not yet ap- pointed the three delegates left to him to select then he is correct in his statement

The 16 to 1 fellows declare that wages have been decreased S3 per cent" This is brash statement, and unqualified is calculated to cause discontent Suppose we take the miners. the largest body of workingmen in this district, and Pratt mines, the largest mine in the district
 The wages formerly paid the miners was 45 cents ton and now it is 371s cents a ton. This is a reduction of about 20 per cent. But while wages have been re- duced 20 per cent everything the miner buys has gone down 50 per cent, so that he is the gainer by 30 per cent. His house rent, food, clothing, powder and other necessary expenses are now con- siderably lower than they once were. His dollar goes twice as far as it once did
