OF a confiagration which totally de-
etroyed three large buildings and con-
tents, damaged several others and
threatened destruction to at least an
entire block of the most valuable prop
erty In the city. The blaze originated
on the stage Of the Detroit Opera
House. simultaneously with the break
ing out of the fire there were several
loud explosions. probably the bursting
OF stage lighting apparatus. The flames
quickly enveloped the rear Of the the
atre and made a furnace of the in
terror.
The Opera House with all its con-
tents. including the handsome scenery,
costumes and equipment Of the Julia
Arthur company were destroyed in
short order. The rear Of the ten-story
building occupied by the H. Leonard
furniture company caught fire, and
nothing of the structure or contents re-
mains but the steel frame. The four
story building Of the Michel Supply
company, east of the theatre, was gut
ted and partly destroyed, and several
other buildings slightly damaged.
At 2:30 the fire had been confined
practically to the above buildings The
losses have not yet been Appropriated,
but it is believed they will reach the
vicinity of $3.50, 1000. A block Of tenement
houses at the foot of Hastings street
caught fire from sparks from the Opera
House fire and was destroyed.

And the Thugs Were Afraid, for They
Probably Read tho Papers.
They applied the fuse and the match
and then evidently waited for the ex-
plosive to reveal the treasure for which
so much had been risked. But for some
reason the explosive did not go off, and
from the subsequent developments it is
evident that dynamite had great terrors
for the men who were not afraid to run
the ordinary risks Of train robbery. 1t is
clear they were afraid to return to the
express car, for after waiting a few min
utes for the expected explosion they hur.
riedly left the place, running into the
underbush which skirts the railway in
that section. The trainmen who had
been left behind with the passenger
coaches politely waited reasonable
length of time for tn --'-ars to COM
plete their work, al n ahead to
the engine and the two RS.
After some delay, for they. too, were
afraid of the dynamite. they succeeded
in lifting down the small safe and throw
ing out the dynamite. The engine was
then run back to the rest Of the train
and coupled on, and after a full two
hours delay the express resumed the
journey toward st. Louis. The passen-
gers, especially the ladies, were very
much frightened, and when the robbers
began shooting at Engineer Vallette
there was a wild scramble in all the
coaches. Diamonds. jewelry and other
valuables were hidden in every place
conceivable in a passenger coach.
Two Chicago and Alton detectives were
on the train. but neither of them put
in an appearance outside Of their coach
until all was over. General Superintend-
ent W. E. Gray was also on the train.
The express messenger was not only
roughly handled by the road agents but
was robbed Of s31 from his private purse
The passengers made up a purse Of SIS
and gave it to him.

ARNErsvILLE PosroFFIcE
SquabbIe Still Going.-It Ought to be
Stopped

ARNETTsvfLLE, April l0.-Our would
| like to be assistant postmaster at Ar
nettsville came out in a recent issue of
the New DOMINION spouting like a
whale and falsifying at rate that would
| put to shame the snake editor OF the
New York Sun. In my article of March
18th, stated facts as can be proven by
dozens of upright and law-abiding citi-
zens, the false statements of little
Aninias to the contrary notwithstanding.
This unreliable newsvender claims that
the article written from here some time
since concerning the post-ofice fight
was written by the successful applicant
for the Office. Now that is false state
ment, as the article was written by a
Democrat and the applicant for the office
knew nothing about it whatever.
The reason | wrote the article was
not because | had any love for the
hungry Office seeker but because did
not like to see Mr.Samuel Phillips one of
| our best Democrats misrepresented by
this pretended saint but renegade Demo-
crat. Mr.. Phillips made sworn state
ment that he was to receive no part Of
the proceeds from the office il it was left
in his store and ] think that ought to
settle the question. As to the number
OF signers to the different petitions
stated facts as shown by the petitions
and not falsehoods as stated by the de-
feated candidate and his assistant. AS
to his statement that he never required
religious test when hiring school
teacher, / don't know whether be did or
not, but do know that be publicly boosted
OF doing 80 in the post Office in Arnettt-
Vile not one year ago. He either erred
then or is falsfyinp now.
Mr.. Phillips says ii he does get his
clerks for $1.50 per week that he pays
them with money and not with diseased
beef, decayed butter, or ancient hickory
nuts.
The people of this vicinity would like
to know what has caused the change OF
front by this gentleman. Only about
year ago he was calling his spiritual
adviser jury briber and numerous
other more or less appropriate names.
He talks about an inherent right to
falsify but | think in his case that it is
hereditary. He talks about people be-
lieving in the theology OF Paine and
1ngersoll as If he thinks that everybody
that objects to him slanderiDg them are
infidels.
Why is this gentleman Ia Democrat
and member Of church, supporting
Republican infidel for office who is so
unpopular with his own party that lwo-
thirds OF the members Of his party sent a
petition to the county executive com
mittee against him having anything to
do with the post office. | suppose that
it is because he thought that he would
get to be assistant postmaster or if he
failed to get that he might get to be jaDi-
tor in the fertilizer factory at Arnetts-
Vile.
