TWO FIRES.
Good Work Done by the Fire Department
in Both Instances.

IN bOth lnstnncess
The fire department was called out early
yesterday morning and again this morning.
and 10 both instances prompt and good work
was done, especially in the second instance,
when the flames threatened TO sweep to the
adjoining building aud precipitate eonfla
grafton. # would be an act of injustice
to omit special meDton Of the part
taken at both fires by the chemical
engine. The nearest fire plug to
the scene Of the first fire, located at the
corner Of Coal and Chestnut streets, gave
trouble for several minutes, the men at the
lever being unable to open the plug Mean
while the chemical engine was at work, and
by be time the water was turned on the fire
was uxtnguished In the second instance
the chemical apparatus performed good ser
vices in keeping the flames checked in hall
way while there was difficulty in getting
nozzles properly adjusted to the lines Of hose.
The first fire started at five o'clock yester-
day morning, in the house on West Coal
street occupied by the family Of Peter Mus
cawicz. 1t was caused by lamp on stand
in the front bedroom on the second floor blaz-
ing and setting fire to some clothing hanging
on the wall against which the stand stood
While the fire was in progress a couple of
shots were heard in the house. The reports
were due to the explosion of caps in the
clothing that was burned. The damage to
the dwelling was slight
The second alarm was sounded at seven
o'clock this morning The fire started in a
house located close to the South Main street
crossing of the Lehigh Valley Railroad The
property is owned by c. ID. Kaier, of Maha-
nOy City, and occupied by Michael Faifer, a
saloonkeeper. The origin of the fire is not
definitely known. The occupants say il
started under the floor of the second story
and was caused by stove pipe The build
ing is a very old and frail one. 1t was an ice
house before being transformed into a saloon
and dwelling. For some time the space under
the roof was like a roaring furnace. On each
side of the structure is frame building, but
the hard and persistent work of the firemen
saved them Once the fire got into the build
ing adjoining on the north side, owned by
Mrs. Mary Brennan and occupied by Stiney
Shiek grocer, but the fire laddies fought
the fla ines gallantly and succeeded in driving
the flames back into the Kaier building
After about an hours work the fire was ex-
tinguished. The weather was bitterly cold
and the fire fighters were covered with ice
when they stopped work The Kaier build
ing was badly damaged, but not to an extent
that it need be torn down. The Kaier Com
pany has an insurance system of its own and
the loss is covered. The Brennan property
adjoining was damaged to the extent of
about hundred dollars.
1t was stated to-day that Mr.. Kaier had
been contemplating improvements on the
building in which the fire started, and it Is
quite likely that they will be undertaken
now. The front of the building is to be
brought out to line with the adjoining
properties

1t was reported that highway robbery
took place on Coal street, near Main, Satur

brought to light the following facts Shortly

intoxicated man, and they did not do so
Mr. Hentz withdrew to the cafe He has nc

Special to EVENING HERALD.
Harrisburg, Jan. 3O.-The list of sbsentees
was long one to-day and there was no
quorum when the State Senate and House
were called to order to elect United Statas
Senator The ballot taken resulted as fol.
lows Quay, 50; jerks, 4; a total of 20
This is the low water mark of attendance
There does not now seem to be any reason
for termination of the deadlock before the
conclusion OF Senator Quay's trial-and then
only In the event of his acquittal The
struggle therefore, is likely to last at least
three weeks longer, as the trial will begin in
Ine Philadelphia courts on February 20.
ms announcement was mado by District
Attorney Rothermel, and the attorneys for
the defendants were so notified 1t was
rumored here that ex-District Attorney
draham would assist in the prosecution.
Much interest is manifested in the elections
on February 18TH when a successor win ba
CHOSEN to former Senator Goblin, now Lieu
tenant Governor, and probably to the late
representative Manning, Democrat who
was buried to-day. If the Quay Republicans
nave 1t IN their power they will also provide
Ior an election to fill the place of Colonel
Haw wkins, who. it is thought, has decided to
romain with his command at Manila An
effort will probably be made to declare his
seat vacant
All the leaders of the contending factions
are expected here this evening, and then the
battle will resume again in all its fercepess.
Saturday night the heavy guns" invaded
Lebanon county and participated in the
Senatorial contest, and some of them are
looked for speeches this evening. The pri-
maries will be held Saturday next. Both
sides are confident of success, but from this
distance it looks as if the Quay candidate
Will be nominated, aud then his election is
assured
