Threatened With Fire.

BRIDGEpoRr, Conn, Jan. S.-Thore was a
fire in barn near the winter quarters of the

wagons were burned. Thousands Of people
gathered expecting a repetition OF the har

roamod the streets A peculiar thing about
IL Is that yesterday was the tenth anniversary
Of the big circus fire. None Of tho show
property was menaced last night and the
damage was only about 500. The sensational

make the people here laugh. They arc en-.
tircly false. There was no commotion about
the animals, the barn not being near enough
TO cause any apprehension.

Mrs. Gladdjng was seen at her home,

this forenoon. Although suffering all of
q mothers anxiety she has by no means
accepted the theory that her son is lost.
SHE 10 too energetic, too good seaman

fore give up hope of ever having him at
home again."
Mrs. Gladding reasons that it is just as
probable that her son was picked up by
a passing vessel as 1t was for the COM
pauion to have been. On the other hand,
he may have reached the lighthouse or
one of the islands, and in either case there
would be many delays before he could
communicate with his friends. There
has teen nothing in the dispatches from
Florida to conflict with this view of
the case.

House, Chicago.
The Ex-Candidate Was the Chief
Guest Of Honor.

Chicago. Jan. Sin the banquet hall
OF the fremont House the silver branch
Of the Democracy held last night it's
banquet. the celebration OF jackson
day" The banquet was under the aus
pices OF the w. j. Bryan league. and was
held one day In advance of Jackson
day proper. as the distinguished guest
OF the league, william ]. Bryan. could
cot be present tonight, having an en-
gagement in Omaha. The banquet hall
was tastefully and lavishly decorated
with green's, cut flowers and the ma
tional colors. and presented an ex-
tremely handsome appearance when at
10 o'clock the doors were opened TO the
800 followers Of Mr.. Bryan. AS the
members of the league marched into the
hall every member bore upon his left
breast the badge of the league. which
was worn last night for the first time.
ii is OF purple satin, and hangs sus-
pended from silver bar. upon which is
printed the name OF the wearer. Mr..
Eryan's picture is upon the badge in
the form of a medallion. set in silver.
and the background of purple is relieved
by elaborate trimming of silver.
Carter II. Harrison. the first president
table, and acted as toastmaster. Mr..
Bryan being seated Immediately at his
right. 1t was fully midnight when Mr..
Harrison rapped for order, and In a few
pleasant, well-chosen words, introduced
Mr.. Bryan. The latter was greeted with
great a ,lause when he rose to speak
I'm response TO the toast OF Andrew
Jackson" and frequently throughout
his address he was compelled TO pause
while his hearers took time TO demon
strate their approval Of his sentiments.
Mr.. Bryan made a characteristic
speech, in which he declared the PROM
ised prosperity, which was to follow Re-
publican success, has not materialized.
He reiterated his arguments on free sill
yer. and declared that free coinage would
ultimately triumph.
Following Mr.. Bryan came Governor
Altgeld. to whom had been assigned
the subject. Character and Mission Of
a Minority Party" Then came II. NJ.
Rfdgely, late postmaster at Springfield,
who was recently removed by
President Cleveland for Offensive par
tisanship." He seemed well in touch
with his subject. for the reason. as no
alleged. that he had lately been up
against it,"
Governor Altgeld declared that the
three Democratic conventions preced-
ing that Of 1896 had been dominated
largely corporation interests. and that
the Nominations had practically been
dominated by the corporations. The
convention of last year was. he de-
clared. the first instance where the peo-
pie had broken away from these in
fuences and made a start for them
selves. He predicted brilliant future
for the silver party. and in closing paid
an eloquent tribute to Mr.. Bryan. who
bad, he said, made the most phenom-
snai campaign In political history.

Wool Men Heard.

Washington, Jan. s.-The wool manu-
lecturers furnished an interesting day
in the tariff hearings. They did not
ask for free wool, but represented that
the Wilson law Mad closed half of their
mills and had proved disastrous to the
country's business generally. They
wanted compensatory duties on woolen
goods and a more moderate tariff than
the wool growers had asked, Their
chief spokesman was the secretary Of
the Wool Manufacturers' association, Sc
d. N. North OF Boston. William Whit
man of the Arlington mills of Massa-
chusetts urged the committee to consider
the question OF permanence above
everything else in framing the tariff,
ard II. c. Jones of Maine suggested
discriminating duties against consigned
goods. Sigmund Mulhauser Of Cleve-
land. the proprietor of the largest
shoddy factory in the country, asserted
that the woolen manufacturers all
bought his goods and promised to give
tic committee list of his customers
