Democratic Central Committee and
 twice delegate to the National Demo
 cratic Convention. He was a warm personal friend of Grover Cleveland and was a member of two committees that nominated him for President. MT.
 Cqeveland's warm friendship for MT. Thompson may have been the cause of his receiving the appointment as Min ister to Brazil when MT. Cleveland en-
 tered the White House for the second time He held this position for four years, and, accompanied by his family. returned to his home in this city only last fall. Upon his arrival here he was met by almost the entire population of the city and rendered an enthusiastic reception.
 The manner in which he was received upon his return home gives only a slight idea of the warm friendship that existed for him in the hearts of the citizens generally, not only here but throughout the State. His record is an honorable one, and while his end is not what his friends would have had it and not what he himself would have contemplated when in his right mind disease and the knowledge that he was afflicted will cause this act of suicide to be. forgotten, overshadowed as. it is by his many noble deeds and acts of kindness.
 Mr.= Thompson leaves a widow, four daughters and one son. Hugh, who is still in Brazil. For several years: MT: Thompson had been suffering from an.affection of the ear, which gave him much pain. and caused deafness. While attending the funeral of Major Tuttle:a few*days ago he caught a cold, and this aggravated the ear disease. Several physicians expressed the opinion to-day that. this had undoubtedly affected his brain, producing partial insanity.

TWO HACKMEN
 ARE HEARD Examined Before the Ohio Senate Investigating
 Committee.
But Their Testimony Utterly Fails of the Purpose
 Intended.
They Tell of Driving Men Around
 With Boyce and Rathbone.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 1.-Two hack men were examined by the Senate committee Investigating the alleged bribery charges this evening. The pur pose of the testimony was to attempt to show that H. H. Boyce, who is all legged to have attempted to bribe Rep resentative Otis, came to Columbus on the afternoon of January 10-inaugura- ton day-and met Major Rathbone, one of Senator :Hanna's lieutenants. The testimony failed utterly of it's pur- pose. The hackmen told of having driven two men around the city, but could not describe either of them, nor did they hear any conversation that would give any clew to the identity of the two men. .
 Charles Steitz. employed by the Co., Iumbus Transfer Company, testified that on ninaugurationdayhe took a man from the Neil House to the Union Sta ton about noon; that after waiting there a short time he was instructed to drive to Broad street opposite 263.
 . After waiting at the latter place a carriage drove up In. front of No. 263, and his passenger told him to go over to the carriage and tell a man on the inside to get; into his lSteitz) carriage The man in carriage No. 3 had two va lises, which he deposited in Steitz' car rfage, and then. Steitz drove the two men around for an hour or two. Steitz said he was: instructed in case any one followed them to drive fast. Once he thought. he saw a carriage following and he whipped%up the horses and was soon out of sight. One of the passen- gers subsequently, left the carriage on Third street, opposite the Capitol, and the other left 1t near the depot.
 George H. Brown. another hackman. told of driving a stranger to 263 East Broad street and of the passenger be- ing transferred to another hack. Neith- CT of the men could describe the alleged mysterious passengers and neither of them knew Boyee or Rathbone. Brown contradicted Steitz by stating that the man left his cab and had started into the house before he was called by Ctaitz

GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y, Feb. l. The Alvord House, one of Gloversville's landmarks, as we'll as the largest hotel in Fulton County, being handsome four-story structure, was destroyed by fire this morning. *.
 The fire strated on the ground floor about o'clock, and shot up through the upper stories with Hghtning-like speed the broad stairs and hall ways furnishing great ffues which carried the flames upward. Almost immediately after the flames were discovered the alarm was sounded through the house, and the big hotel was soon the scene or the widest confusion. There was a. wild scramble on the part of the guests to escape from the building with their personal property; but many were forced to flee without saving anything. A few of the guests made their escape by the stairways, but the smoke soon cut off this retreat. The next resort of the imprisoned people was the windows. AS their terror stricken faces appeared the great crowd below watched breath lessly, hoping against hope that all would be saved. The guests who were thus entrapped did not long hesitate to take the risk of Jumping, though some were rescued from their perilous posi- tionS by the firemen. Others leaped from the windows, several being more or less injured. Findlay Morrow. a travelling salesman for an Albany. house, clad only in his nightshirt and trousers, jumped from a window, land ing safely in the" e"snow, .:> *.'
 Among the seriously injured are:
 William Malonick, travelling man, residence unknown, sprained ankle.
 B. A. Ross, travelling man, Rochester. NY, badly bruised.
 The total loss on the building, furrli- ture and property of guests will prob ably amount to sl00000, partly insured. i The fire started near the laundry, but from what cause Is not now known.
 The firemen searched all day in the ruins for the remains of victims, but their efforts were unrewarded. Elec-: tric lights have been strung over the ruins, and a large force will continue the search all night
 Dr. D. D. Davis of Westfield, N. T., Jumped from the third story. He struck the wires opposite the second story and was thrown to the ground. but was not seriously hurt. J. H. Barry of Troy jumped from the third story and was only slightly injured. Elwood Delong, a fireman, was serious ly frozen. Andrew Watson of Toronto, Ont, jumped from the fourth floor to a shed and was only slightly hurt.

FIGHTS WITH FIVE OUTLAWS One Arizona Officer Puts the Quintet to
 Flight. Wounds Two Men and Effects the Capture of One of
 Them. Brave Attempt of Deputy Sheriff Bargenan to Serve Warrants
 of Arrest.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HOLBROOK, AriZ.. Feb. 1-Deputy Sheriff Joseph Bargeman has returned from Tonto Basin, whither he went to arrest Arthur Ferrall and Ernest Gen. try. outlaws who "shot up the town" of Helper, near here, in December. Bargeman heard that his men and sev- erar others were hiding with the In- dians on Canyon Creek on the Apache reservation. After scouting for a week he succeeded in tracking one of the bandits, w. w. Walker. to the rendezvous. The white men. were oamped in a little valley in company with the John Dazin band of Cibiou Apaches. Bargeman found the camp late in the morning and identified about the fire besides Ferrau, Gentry and Walker, Bob Anderson and Bob Pen rod. This quintet is believed to be re- sponsible for many robberies and cattle depredations in this vicinity.
 Bargeman rode toward the camp fire shouting to Gentry and Ferrall that he had warrants for them. Instead of sur rendering the outlaws grasped their guns and opened fire on the officer Bargeman found cover and sustaining no damage himself succeeded in wound ing Gentry and Walker and driving the five desperadoes from the field
 The officer obtained aid in Pleasant Valley and returned. Walker was found at an Indian camp, wounded in the shoulder: Gentry, who was wounded in the abdomen, escaped, and the posse did not deem it wise to pursue him and his companions farther into the Indian country Walker was taken to Globe and charged with grand larceny, as stolen horse was found with him.
 DaZin's band is the one that had the running fight with Deputy Sheriff Ketchterside and posse last year. The Indians are reported very ugly over Bargeman's attack for Gentry is a member of the tribe by adoption and marriage.
