q. Vanderbilt, JR., IN A FIRE.
a Slight Biaso In the Dining Rooua or His
Newport Cottage,

NEWPORT, II. l., Nov. 9.-Shortly after noon
to-day tho ringing Of two alarms from box 81
caused some alarm in tho cottage colony. and
not only brought tho Fire Department to Rhua
House, occupied by Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.,
ana his wife, but brought a crowd OF excited
spectators to the scene. expecting TO see q repc.
tition OF the famous Breakers fire some years
ago In tho house occupied by Mr.. vanderblit's
father. When tho Fro Department arrived
they had little to do. as the house dire brigade
had extinguished the flames. The fire was In
the dining room and was slight.
The portieres OF n door caught ere and COM
muhicated to the wooden rods and door casing,
making Il lively little blaze for q few minutes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt were at home and
thero was an abundance of help in the house.
Inc men promptly connected the garden
hose, turned on the stream and then threw
the burned rods out Of doors. 1t is supposed
that the porticre caught FIRE from q hot register
In q corner below it as no other cause can
DO given. In assisting In extinguishing the IRE
Mr.. Vanderbilt burned his right hand. DR..
Knapp had to be called to dress the hand, but he
reports the injury as not serious. The house Is
damaged chiefly by water. and the furniture IL
somewhat damaged by smoke and water. Prob.

Clifton had been the terror of the Indian coun.

merous bank and express robberies.

MIR. CROKER STRONG AGAIN.
Outdoes Most OF His Party In MI climbing
Hrs Fun at q Country Court.

Hot SPRINGS. Va, Nov. 9.-Richard Croker In
fast regaining his health. When he arrived on
Sunday morning he was worn out. An i'm
provement was noticed on Monday, and this
morning he was in the best of spirits and looked
well. He began the day by climbing q hill
over ave hundred feet high just south of
the hotel. Senator Grady. Miles NJ. O'Brien.
Asa Bird Gardiner and Rudolph GuRgenheimer
started with him, but Mr.. Guggenheimer was
the only one who continued with Mr.. Croker to
the top. After the walk the Croker party was
driven to Warm Springs, a watering place
nearby. 1t 10 the county scat OF Bath county,
and this was the opening day of the County
Court.
After looking at the places of interest around
the old hotel Mr.. Croker suggested that all hands
go in and see how the courts are run in Virginia,
little thinking that he would come face to face
here with what he had enunciated as the
paramount issue to the people OF New
York. that is, personal liberty. The case
before the Court was that OF an applicant for
a retail liquor license. The attorney for the
Common wealth was vigorously opposing the
granting Of the license. 1t was a typical crowd
of Virginia mountaineers. rough bearded. rest
less and suspicious looking. that filed
the court room. The Judge. an Old man
foet upon his desk quietly ~nibbling an
apple; The lawyers, were on an inclosed plat;
form in the centre of the room. They wrangled
with Witnesses. each dlsrCgarding the Judge;
Messrs. Croker and Grady took seats well
forward, and Asa Bird Gardiner entered the at
torncy's inclosure. Mr.. Croker was attentive
all the time. gravely watching the witnesses as
the case progressed.
Mr.. Grady was in q reminiscent mood. evil
IDENTITY recalling his days on the bench as Police
Justice. Mr.. Guggcnheimcr watched Mr..
Croker, rejecting his moods. When n witness
was asked whether he did not think two saloons
enough to supply liquor for the village in ques'
ton, he replied:
sit ali depends upon the size OF he thirst"
One witness. when asked II he. thought AN APP
plicant's house q proper, suitable, ana conVen-
lent location for "A saloon. replied:
well. it's. suitable enough. hut personally |
don't think It's convenient. Its two miles from
my house"
Ihu partly suppressed laughter of the Croker
party at this answer almost amounted to con-
tempt of court. 1t incurred the i'll will OF tho
natives present. and the witness looked as
though he wanted TO fight. Another witness,
who had admitted that he took an occasional
! drink, said, when pressed for II reason as TO why
he never was intoxicated:
WAL, | do take "a drink when ] can get 1t, but

After hearing the next witness. a Justice or
