A HOT TIME.
Two Fires do Much Damage Last Night-High Wind Made Difficult to Protect
 Property

The fire department was called out twice last night.
 The first call was about 12 o'clock from the little grocery store of F. H. Lee X Co.,, on the corner of Second and Cherry. The store was small and the fire well under headway when discovered. The stock and building were practically total loss. The stock was insured for $500. The building was owned by Ferd Havis.
 The second fire occurred at 2:30 this morning and was more serious. This fire caused the total destruc- ton of the old Portis place on south Cherry street at the corner of 14th avenue. The residence was occupied by Mir. J. G. Smith. The fire was well under way when discovered and the occupants barely had time to escape from the burning building, several of the children putting on their clothes after leaving the house.
 
 The house has stood there for many years and was an old land mark It's dry walls made light kindling for the flames and the house was destroyed before the fire department could reach the scene of the confla- grafton. The high wind made 1t very difficult to protect adjoining property. Burning shingles were blown against houses a block away. The residence of MT. Joseph AltneiIn CT block further down and on the opposite side of the street, was several times set on fire by the flying shingles. The residence back of him also caught fire. A great many of the trees in the neighborhood were set fire. Mr. Smith saved only few articles of clothing and furniture. The residence was the property of MT. J. A. Wallis, of Palarm, Ark. and was insured with Tankersley, Roberts x Co for $1 ,500.
 MT. J. c. Smith had $1,000 insur- ance on his household goods in the Mills agency

WAR IN THE HOUSE,
THE LIE PASSED BETWEEN
 MEMBERS
And a Fisticuff Was Narrowly Averted-Excitement h.
 tense.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-During the discussion in the House yester- day afternoon of the majority and minority reports of the committee on foreign affairs a bitter and acri- monious exchange of words took place between MT. Bartlett (Dem. Ga.) and MT. Brumm, (Rep., Pa Representative Richardson of Tenn, was denying an alleged agreement with the Republicans, when Mr. Bartlett said the chair was support ing the protests of the Democrats against the taunting words which were coming from the other side.
 Suddenly in his rear in the next tier of seats came in stentorian tones from Mir. Brumm taunt ad- dressed generally to the Democratic side: "You got just what you did not want," he shouted.
 tThat is not true," cried out Mr. Bartlett, who, it was explained sub- sequently, was addressing his re- marks to Republican on the other side.
 q say it is, retorted Mir. Brumm hotly.
 Ut is not, fared back Mr. Bart lett, turning and facing MT. Brumm.
 "You are liar,n responded Mr. Brumm.
 The lie had passed. Instantly Mir. Bartlett reached for a large bound copy of the Congressional Record in the desk before him and raising it aloft, hurled it at his ad versary. It feel short and then the two antagonists rushed for each other. The house was in an uproar. Some of the ladies in the galleries screamed hystericallY. Members crowded toward the combatants from all quarters. They ran across the area in front of the speakers and crowded up the adjoining aisles, clinching, tugging, hauling at each other like madmen. 1t was like free fight in the street. Shouts of anger and indignation were heard on every hand. Members in the crush espoused the cause of the two original combatants, and there were several exciting collisions, but no blows were struck. Mean time MT. Bartlett and Mr. Brumm were try ing to get at each other over the benches, but they were borne back by friends. Mr. Bartlett, who is a slight man, was carried off his feet and MT. Miers, of Indiana, stall wart, broad-shouldered Hoosier, blocked the path of MT. Brumm, who is himself evidently man of great physical vlgor. h his efforts to stop MT. Brumm, Mr. Miers be- came involved with MT. Pierce, of Missouri, and they almost came to blows.
 All this time the gavel of the speaker was heard, and his voice was commanding the sergent at arms to restore order. Armed with a silver mace, the emblem of the au thority of the House, Col. Russell, the sergeant-at-arms repeatedly charged the thick mass of struggling members, but was as often swept aside. One of the other employees, Griffin Halstead, a son of Murat Halstead, while attempting to paei- fly MT. Brumm, was felled by blow on the jaw. At last by the efforts of a dozen muscular members, the belligerants were separated, the angry legislators retired to their seats and semblance of order re- stored. It was one of the most dis graceful scenes ever witnessed in the House in many years.
