Butler, tho Murderer, Arrested.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.-The ship
Swanhilda, from Newcastle, Australia,
arrived this morning. Frank Butler
the Australian murderer, who was on
board, was arrested and brought
ashore. Butler is a criminal of the
most atrocious order. He possessed
the cunning of Deeming and the facili-
ty of execution OF H. 81. Holmes. But
Ter is accused of a number of crimes
which cannot at present be proved
against him, although evidences of his
guilt are being unearthed every hour.
1t is known beyond doubt, however,
that at least two men met death at his
hands within the past four months.
The Swanhilda left Newcastle Novem-
Der %, two days before the first evi.
dence of Buffers crime was brought to

The Pennsylvania Capitol Atirc.

HARRIsoNBURG, Feb. 2.-Fire was
discovered in Lieutenant Governor
Lyons room on the second floor of the
main building of the capitol shortly be-
fore one o'clock to-day. The room is
directly over the Senate Chamber and
close to the Senate elevator. The SEN
ate had taken a recess. 1t was
thought at first to be of trivial nature
but the flames were soon beyond con-
troll. With the arrival Of the fire de-
partment came thousands of spectators
and Capitol Park in the vicinity of the
burning building, was soon a mass OF
struggling humanity. Before the fire.
men could direct the stream on the
bnrning building, it was found that the
flames we're beyond control.
Owing to the location of the room in
which the fire started, the fremen had
difficulty in getting stream on the
flames. Finally lines of hose were
drawn through the corridors on the
second floor and then the real work OF
the fremen began.
The main building of the Capitol, in
Guiding the Senate and House cham
bers and the headquarters of several
executive departments, are in ruins.
No one was seriously injured. Loss
81 100000. The fire was caused by
electric wires.

THE BRADLEY MARTIN BALL.
One the proposed features of the
uch.discussed Bradley Martin ball, to
be given in New York on February TO-,
is series of elaborate quadrilles, and,
Judging from previous dances of this
character given at notable private en-
tertainments, they will not be the least
attractive part of the affair. These
elaborate and well-rehearsed quadrilles
are merely revival of old dances that
were in favor long before the waltz and
the two-step became popular. One
reason why they are returning to favor
with the people of fashion is the fact
that they must be prearranged and re-
hearsed, and are obviously not suited
to public balls, where the presence OF
the guests is simply an indication that
they paid a certain amount for tickets.
The minuet and other slow, stately
dances that were in the fashion when
Beau Nash ruled his little kingdom OF
Bath are again being danced and with
variations. The waltz and the two.step
have monopolized between them the
dance cards of the public balls given in
New York in the past three years. Two
square dances are considered liberal
allowance for such q ball. Dancing
teachers say that the waltz, despite
all innovations. cannot be replaced and
the trifling changes that it undergoes

The Observation-Disclosures Match.

CARSON, New. Feb2.-t was ru.
mored yesterday that the sporting fra
ternity of Utah and Montana has offered
Dan Stuart inducements to pull the big
fight off near Salt Lake, just inside the
Nevada line. This report caused great
excitement here and members of the
legislature declared that if the fight
was not pulled off in Carson they would
repeal the bill legalzing prize fights.
They voted for the bill understanding
that the capital of Nevada would be
the battle ground. The feeling is so
pronounced on this subject that there is
no longer any question about the loca-
ton of the fight, as far as Carson is con-
cerned. Corbett will train near Reno,
and Ftzsimmons will train at Carson.
A San Francisco syndicate is now ar
ranging to build large hotel in Carson
for the big fights that will come off for
some years to come.
