ALMOST A CONFLAGRATION.

The Brown Hotel Had n Narrow
Escape Wednesday Night.
Early Thursday morning the Brown
Hotel had a narrow escape from what
might have proved q disastrous FIRE. On
closing about midnight the stove in the
office was filed with large chunks Of
wood, and it appears that some time
during the night one Of these chunks had
fallen against the stove door, which had
possibly not been closed securely, the
result being that q large live coal fell out
upon the floor. burning . hole about six
inches in diameter through the linoIeum
covering. and also completely through
the flooring. The boards were charred
for q considerable distance around, and
had it not been that the fumes and smoke
from the burning linoleum permestsd
through the building to such an extent
that an occupant of q of the upper
rooms wal awakened and sought to die
cover the cause, . serious FIRE might
have followed. In q short time an en-
trance was effected into the office, and
the blaze quickly extiuguished.
1t is fortunate that the FIRE had gained
no greater Roadway, as with the wind
blowing . violent gale ss it was 81 the
time. it might have proved difficult to
get it under control.

VISION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
HAVE NOVEL EXPERIENCE.

FREDERICK, Md, an. 2S-The Freder-
lex CMd) and Philadelphia train, leaving
here at o'clock this afternoon over
the Pennsylvania road, encountered a
snow drift at Sharrett's Cut, twenty miles
north, where it became completely snow
bound and remained so until o'clock
this evening when the four coaches with
their occupants were extricated from
their perilOus position. AS the train left
Bruceville a furious wind was prevail
ing, and before proceeding far the wind
became Of cyclonic force, hurting sheets
of binding snow through the air. The
engineer attempted to plow his way
through the drift, but, before he got far
he found the track completely choked up
and the rear was rapidly filling up with
the drifting snow. Within half an hour
the snow was over seven feet high and
the passengers were greatly alarmed, as
they could See nothing but huge sheets
OF snow sweeping down from the noun
talns encircling them from sight. A relief
crew was sent from Frederick, and after
hazardous work the train was brought
back to Bruceville. All the freight and
southbound trains from Philadelphia over
the Frederick division of the PennsyIva-
MA system were sidetracked at fancy
town on account Of the drifts. The
drifts from Bruceville to Taneytown are
SAID to be over a mile in length and cuts
nave about ten feet of snow.

ALL SUSPECTS IN JAIL
FOURTH MAN BROUGHT FROM Du.
LUTH AND LOCKED UP.

The last of the four suspects in the
Midway fire case was put behind the
bars at central station last night Harold
Olson, nineteen years old, brother of
Seagred Olson, was brought rom Duluth
by Detective Frazer. He has been en-
ployed in a lumber camp IN St Louis
county for the past month. Accord ne to
the testimony of Fred Wood, a convict
at saltwater, who was in the Hennepin
county Jail at the time the alleged plot
was laid, Harold Olson was mentioned
by his brother Seagred as an accomphce.
The four will be in police court this
morning, charged with arson in a COM
plant sworn out by Capt. Clark.
Arthur V. I1inman, proprietor of the
slaughter house which was burned stated
yesterday that he had reason to believe
that it was intended by the party that
burned his place to also set fire to his
home. Shortly after fire was discovered
he was notified and on leaving his house
which is not far from his place of bust
ness he saw wagon standing in the road.
AS he was passing, two men sprang from
the bushes at the side of the road and
drove rapidly away.
Mr.. Human also stated that several
days before the fire two men walked
through his slaughter house as though
they were sizing the place up The
description of one of the men TALES per-
fectly with that of Seagred Olson.

TO DRIVE OUT
THE BAD NEGROES
INDIANA CITIES AND TOWNS WILL
USE DRASTIC MEASURES
AGAINST IDLE BLACKS

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. 2S-Cities
and towns along the Ohio river have be-
gun crusade against the negroes. The
entire trouble dates back to the Iynchings
of negroes at Rockport and Bonneville
for the murder of the white barber, Sim
mons, of Rockport, one night last
month.
The board of safety of this city has
ordered the police to arrest all strange
negroes and bring them before the city
police judge If they cannot give any
reason for being here they will be SEN
fenced to the rock pile. The object of
this order is to rid the town of an obnox-
ious class of negroes. 1t is estimated
that there are 1000 colored men in this
city who absolutely refuse to work
They spend their time in the colored
saloons and low dives of the city and
live the best way they can. On election
day they are in the market, and the man
VINO bids the highest is the man who
lands them.
The board of safety was led to take
this step by the action of the Spencer
county grand jury in indicting 1879 negroes
Of Rockport for selling their votes on
last election day. The citizens commit
tee have been actively engag ed for the
past month arranging the preliminary
evidence to be presented to the grand
jury. 1t is said that an attempt will be
made to have the blacks who are indict-
ed arraigned in court at one time and it
is desired that they be sent to the state
prison at the same time. Such a thing
would be a novel thing in the history
of Indiana Jurisprudence.
Other towns in Indiana along the river
are taxing steps to drive the worst ele-
ment of negroes away. In some towns no
negro is permitted to live. Vigilance COM
mlttses have been appointed at Grand
View, Enterprise, Tell City and Leaven-
Warth- Since the recent trouble at New
burg many of the colored people have
left that town

to be allowed to ''Settle" and bv claims
that the clique would possibly refuse to
settle at all until the last moment. On
the call the feeling was steady with
January 10 points higher and other
months one point higher to points low
er. An absence of sellers created I'M
precedented alarm in bear circles which
soon spread TO a Veritable panic By
great leaps and bounds January shot nm
with the operators in other months
standing aghast at the remarkable snec-
lacle- Not until a sheer upIift of 2-5
points had occurred was there sufficient
cotton entlced out to appease the needs Of
the shorts. Then a tumble of u roints
under proflt-taking promptly quoted the
scare. Still later January f1uctnated
violently around the top notch of the
first hour.
At the close sensational reports of
still greater prospective bulges were in
circulation. Around the opening. Febru-
airy shorts became sympatheticalIv
alarmed, and in the haste to cover sent

HENRIETTA, I. T., Jan. 2S.-Chitto
Harjo or Crazy Snake, leader of the
warning Creek Indians, who is a United
States prisoner, remained sullen today
and refused to confer with United States
Marshal Bennett. 1t is believed that soon
er or later the willy chief will show a
friendly spirit, and the result will be a
prompt ending of the uprising. 1t is
thought Harjos followers have been
taught to have better respect for the
majesty of soldiers than United States
marshals, believing the soldiers will treat
them fairly. This has been brought
about not by the marshaPs actions, but
by a deputy here and there in the past
who has not acted -isely towards them
The news of the capture of Harjo
reached Henrietta last night When the
chief, mounted and surrounded by four
deputies appeared at the tent of Lieut..
Dixon, he was greeted consideratel
Fifty soldiers, grouped about camp
fire, sang 1.-THE Blue and the Gray,
while Lieut.. Dixon made friendly over
lures to the prisoner. The Indian sat
sullen and stoical in his saddle. Tell
him the officer wishes to shake hands as
a FRIEND said Lieut.. Dixon to the in
terpreter. Harjo grunted his response
and slipped from his pony. In the mean
time soldiers hurriedly prepared a tent
for the chief while others grouped them
selves about him. y reporter preset the
interpreter to get him to talk, but Crazy
Snake only shook his head and only said
mot tonight, maybe tomorrow"
The capture of Crazy Snake is believed
here to be the most important move
since the outbreak. He is believed to be
the agitator and real leader of the. d.s-
affected Indians, and now he is safely in
the hands of the government, 1t is be-
ieved his followers will soon be brought
to Terms.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 2S.-Considera-
Bile anxiety is felt by officials of the Mis-

situation in the Indian Territory. Gen
eral Attorney Clifford J. Jackson, of the

definite information from a full-blood
Choctaw Indian to the effect that a meet
ing of that Nation had decided to de-
stroy the property of all railroads in the

Mr.. Jackson says:
Last night United States Marshal
Bennett and Indian Agent Schoenfeldt
interviewed a CnoctaW, who pledge
them to keep his name secret, but who
was anxious to place what informant n
he possessed in the hands of government
officers He said that there had been a
meeting of full-blood Choctaws in which
the course to be pursued by them had
been determined Among other things
1t was determined to run all white men
