SALOON FIRE CAUSES
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE

Damage TO the extent of 5000 was
last night occasioned by fire in the
saloon Of John Schlotterbeck, at Eighth
and Z Streets southeast. Just how
the fire originated is unknown, but il
is thought the blaze was started by the
throwing of lighted cigar behind the
counter by ore Of the patrons of the
place. An alarm was turned In from

spread rapidly, and this, joined with
the icy streets. which made ii impos-
sible for the engines to reach the burn
ing building quickly, caused a blaze
which, for a time, ii was feared would
ignite the adjoining house and destroy
the entire block
The saloon was crowded at the time
OF the fire. which started about 10
O'Clock, but every one got out safely
Ti.e entire building Was gutted by the
flames, anG the stock and fixtures OF
the place were totally destroyed. 1t is
said that most of the stock was COW
cred by insurance, which will partly re-
pay the loss.

Two Desperadoes Make
Criminal Record in
Philadelphia.
MOTORMAN IS WOUNDED
Three Pedestrians Halted by
Thugs and Forced to
Give Up.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.-Within
few blocks of police headquarters, early
this morning, two desperstioes robbed
three pedestrians, held up two trolley
cars, and, at postol point, went through
the pockets of every passenger in one
of the cars. One of the motormen was
shot while resisting.
For boldness the crime, as whole,
is unprecedented in local police his
tory
The robbers first jumped on car
at Fifteenth and Carpenter Streets.
While one of them went forward to
the front platform the other demanded
the conductors money.
Steal Conductors Hat.
The conductor showed fight and
punched the fellow in the face. The
robbers then jumped from the car,
taking with them the conductors hat
They soon regained their nerve, how
ever, and boarded another car at
Twelfth and Catherine Streets, four
Bruce, the motorman.
He resisted and was shot in the left
hip. The conductor was badly beaten.
While one robber covered the half
dozen passengers with a revolver the
other went through the pockets of each
occupant OF the car They also took
the conductors collections, about III,
and escaped.
Pedestrians Held Up.
Before attempting the car robberies,
the bandits held I'D and robbed on the
street, Thomas Welsh, of IA south
Fifteenth Street, John Mcnamara, o.
Twenty-first and Fit1water Streets. and
John Dougherty. of 1880 Catherine
Street. Each was relieved of a small
sum of money.
There is no doubt but that the high
wayneH were the same men who held up
the cars.
Two u,en have been arrested and held

Harry Coleman, aged twenty-one years,
OF Wilmington, and Charles Ryan, aged
twenty-seven years Of this city.
On the prisoners was found bic
quantity of nitroglycerin and fuses

Vernon preceded Blanton in the various
towns and cities where ne went to in

pie VINO were offering sites, and told
them that he was q close relative OF the
Government inspector and could infil-
ence him In his decision as To the site TO
be selected, and asked what they would
give him TO throw the decision TO them.
He carried out this policy in many
towns and cities, and was finally in
