FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1882.
The Tariff Commission.
It is very doubtful whether the tariff
commission will be of any real use te the
country. If they should happen te be
men pre-eminently fitted for the work
their labors would have a fruitful result ;
but the chance of getting such men en
the commission is exceedingly small.
The president's appointees possibly may
be;such men, but the chance that they are
is quite infinitesimal. About the fitness
of most of them the general public have
little knowledge. One of the best known,
Mr. Phelpa of Missouri, lias resigned.
The chairman ex-Vice President Wheel
er has been sufficiently before the coun
try te satisfy it that he is net peculiarly
adapted for this new duty. All or nearly
all the members are said te favor a high
tariff. This is probably an error, due te
the fact that free traders consider every
one who favors any protective duty te
1x3 a high tariff man. But several mem
bers are said te be in the employ of pro
tective tariff associations ; which, of
course, is net fair te the ether side, whose
special attorneys, such as David A.Wells,
find no place en the commission.
It was undoubtedly a difficult body te
select. If tariff specialists had been
selected from the two sides the conse
quence would have been a lively antagon
ism en .the commission from the start,
but it would have had the geed result of
gettting before the public everything
that is in the tariff question. The re.
suit might have been te have left the
uublic jniiid in a mere muddled state
than ever ; it would hardly have settled
public sentiment. Rut no tariff com
mission, even of angels, would ever de
that. We are net permitted te deny that
it is beyond Almighty power te achieve
this thing, but nothing short of it will
work the miracle. And yet it is a very
simple matter apparently about which
we should all agree. And we all
would agree if our interests were alike.
But the Almighty has made us se that
we cannot help looking after number one.
The nation leeks after its own interests
and levies a duty te protect its indus
tries. The merchant, however, cannot
see that his interest is the same as that
of the manufacturer ; free trade suits
him best, and he strikes for it.
What is the use of any set of seven or
seventy men attempting te instruct the
public mind upon the real truth of the
tariff issue when the true inwardness
of the matter lies in the different ways
in which it affects each citizen's pocket V
They may de a little geed skirmishing
work in the way of regulating the tariff,
but a tariff the mining and manufactur
ing industries of the country are strong
enough te command and will have, and
83 the commercial people must be con
tent te make the best of the situation.
The Senate Democrats are said te be
nearly unanimous in lheir disposition
te refuse te confirm the president's ap
pointments en the commission. If they
consider them unfit they should de se,
though they are net likely te get men te
suit them better. Congress had it in its
power te select the men te whom it was
willing te trust the matter of tariff re
vision and was net wise in confiding
their selection te Mr. Arthur. A geed
commission could have been selected
from the congressmen themselves, who
ought te be well posted in the economic
considerations involved in the issue. A
better one might have been taken from
the whole body of the people, but such
an ignoramus in state craft as Arthur
was net the best man te make, the deli
cate selection.
Tiiat " Secret Set-up."
The Examiner, a portion of whose
editors have been in Washington this
week, has the following special dispatch,
" exclusively, " from that centre ' of po
litical intelligence :
The secret set-up among Pennsylvania
Democrats is te make Randall the candi
date for governor, lie is anxious for the
position and believes the Independent
movement will work te his advantage.
He has his cye en 18S4. Randall's great
ambition is te be president, and he is
taking advantage of the times. Tildeu is
with Iii m. Caii Editor Hensel deliver the
goods from Lancaster county'.'
The correspondent of our esteemed
and enterprising contemporary does net
enlighten its readers as te who is engaged
in this "set-up" or hew it comes tluit
what he declares te be a " secret " hap
pens te be known te a Stalwart editor,
while se many hundreds of thousands
of Pennsylvania Democrats are in
utter ignorance of il. If "Penn
sylvania Democrats " have any such
"secret set-up" there must be se few
of them in the secret that their " set
up " is likely te be very abortive. It is
new less than three weeks until
the convention meets, and the Ex
amuicrV dispatch is the first intima
tion we have had of tin's " secret set
up ;" if it is kept secret much. longer il
will be apt te spoil. Democratic con
ventions are apt te make very short
work of " secret set-ups."
We need net add that we de net for a
moment credit the pretended inferma
tien sent te the Examiner from Wash
ington. It is net by any means certain
that the surest way te the Demo
cratic nomination .for president in
1S84 is by the Democratic nomination
and election te the governorship this fall
in a triangular contest. And if Mr.Ran
dall lias aspirations te the presidency
and governorship, or if his friends have
such designs for him, he and they knew
very well that there would be no better
way te kill him off than te make up a
" secret set-up" in his behalf.
The truth is that nobody knows what
will lie the outcome of the Democratic
state convention this year. A very large
majority of its members,we are satisfied,
will go te it, like these from Lancaster
county, uninstru'eted, unpledged and
uncommitted te any interest except that
of the whole party s that interest may be
made manifest. when the representatives
of the whole party shall come together
In this state of uncertainty the news
papers, the politicians and gossip-meng-J
ers are bound te invent something. One
of their inventions was the Hancock
boom of a few days age ; another is the
Randal! story ; in a letter lying before
us the Intelligencer is gravely in
formed that Randall and Wallace are in
a combination te nominate Trunkey;
from another source we are as positively
informed that Randall is committed te
Hepkins ; and a Xew Yerk Herald in
terview with Mr. Wallace in Pittsburgh
represents him .is saying " that Mr.
Hepkins was a geed man te carry the
standard of the Democrats in the cam
paign this fall. ' With the dissensions
in the Republican ranks,' said he, ' we
are likely te win this fight, and we all
want te see a man who can unite the
party and poll the full vote nominated.
Is net Mr. Hepkins such a man ?' "
Frem all of which variety of report
and versatility of invention we infer
that Mr. Wallace and Mr. Randall and
ether Democrats of prominence and in
fluence are disposed te let the state con
vention exercise its own wisdom and
free choice ; and from what we knew of
the composition of the convention that
is just what nobody can prevent it from
doing.
As te the senatorial delegate from the
XIII. district, he says that he has never
undertaken te deliver any goods te
any man or any man's man ; that he
has no "secrets" from his constitu
ents and engages in no " set-ups " which
are net frankly avowed day after day
in the columns of the Intelligen
ces. Whenever designate! by the par
tiality of the local Democracy te repre
sent them in the general councils of the'
party, he declares that it has been
his pleasure and privilege te ascertain
and represent the wishes of his censtitu
ents and te conserve the best interests
of the whole party, and that there is
where he will.be found.
An explanation is due te our esteemed
contemporary, the Philadelphia Times,
in the matter that was the subject of ani
madversion in these columns yesterday.
Seme one in the Times office has very
obligingly sent us a copy of the paper in
which, sure enough, there is an account
of the proceedings of the convention of
the Democrats in Lancaster, and the
blue streak drawn around the item pre
vents any mhake or oversight regarding
it. In explanation of the strictures re
ferred te we may be permitted ta state
that in the copy of the Times received at
this office, the blue-ringed article did net
appear, and since it was of an edition
sold and circulated en the streets of this
city, the impression very naturally went
forth among our geed people that our
contemporary did net consider the con
vention of sufficient importance te
warrant a notice. The thing re
solves itself very clearly when it
is staled that the Times prob
ably prints two or mere editions,
and the one sent te this office did net
have an account of the proceedings,
while in the later copy, or the earlier
one as the case may be, which has been
se kindly ringed with blue, there is a
very fair and ace unite account of the
convention.
The tariff story against Senater Cam Cam
eeon is pronounced a " huge joke " by
the person who is alleged te have told it
te a reporter of the Philadelphia Ttle
(jraih. There is no accounting for
tastes, least of all in the quality that
passes for humor, but just where the fun
comes in, iu circulating what i.s new
declared te be a bald lie, would puzzle
the sharpest apprehension. The "friend,"
who is alleged te have given the story te
the Telegraph reporter, but whose nanie
is net divulged, is said te have become
conscience-stricken, and went te the
newspaper man and told him lie had im
posed en his credulity ; and immediately
the Stalwart organs take up the confes
sion and make it the subject of double
leaded leaders, in vindication of their
injured chief. New that it is settled
Senater Cameren didn't storm and
swear till he was black in the face, and
didn't tell the Philadelphia merchants
that if they refused te staudbyhim he
would oppose the tariff during the re
mainder of his term all that remains for
the able and energetic Mr. Taggart, sec
retary of the Regulars, is te establish
the fact that the senior senator wears
store teetl.
It will be seen by his communication
te the. chairman of the county commit
tee, that Mr. Reynolds declines the
Democratic nomination for Congress.
Mr. Reynolds has once already had this
honor from the Democratic party of the
county, and as it is but an empty one,
he doubtless thinks once is enough. It
is a natural feeling and the party cannot
complain that he indulges it.
Tiikiie is much of timely interest iu the
bulletin issued by the census bureau
showing the number of live stock en the
farms of the United States. On the 1st
June the figures as reported were : Horses
10, 357,981 ; mules and asses, 1,812,932 ;
working oxen, 993,970 ; milch cows, 12,-
443,593; ether eattle, 22,488,500; sheep,
35,191,G3C ; swine, 47.C83.591. The rate of
increase from 1870 te 1880 was in horses
45 per cent ; mules and asses Gl per cent ;
working oxen, a decrcase of 25 per cent. ;
milch cows, increase of 39 per cent. ;
ether cattle, CC per cent. ; sheep, 24 per
cent. ; and swine 90 per cent.
Tub Evening Telegraph voices a very
general scutiment when it rises te pretest
against Mr. Cessna's preposition that Gov.
tleyt shall call an extra session of the
Legislature for the purpose of rcdistrict
ing the state and' thereby get rid of cer
tain features of the " present situatieu in
Pennsylvania" which the Honorable Jehn
admits te be " exceeingly critical and
perilous." Our contemporary points out
that all the roosters in the state are anxious
iuthe cxtrcmatkat the governor shall
take this step, aud inves as a reason f or
their solicitude in the matter that an extra
session would accomplish the double pur
pose of putting money into the pockets of
some of our most needy professional poli peli poli
tieians and of killing off Heyt.
Tin: controlling force in New Yerk
fitate politics at present seems te be a
measure kuewn as the "supply bill,"
whieh contains many items of interest te
almost every prominent politician of both
parties iu the state, and of which Gover Gover
eor Cernell new has the custody. It is
the governor's constitutional privilege te
object te any particular appropriation in
the biil, within a period of thirty days
fiem the time it is presented te him ; but
after that period it mu&t become a law.
Uutil the thhtydays have expired, and
the fate of the various little jobs is beyond
doubt, it would be the height of impru
dence te say anything against the gov
ernor's aspirations for a second terra, but
after that he had better leek out for
storm signals all along the horizon. The
prudent re.-vc that at present character
izes the opposition te Cernell does net
wholly conceal a prevailing hcutiinent for
ex-Comptroller Wadsweith (seu of the
gallant general of that name who was
killed iu the battlc-ef Five Ferks). All
the talk about Felger meanwhile is re
ported en geed " inside" authority, te be
but a "side show." Wadsworth is a
" Half-breed," and is strongly backed by
such men as Collector Robertsen, but his
personal qualities will net indispose the
Stalwarts te support him if the popular
feeling runs that way. He has the geed
will of the president, and that just new
means a great deal.

Seme Interesting Wetalla of a Net Widely-
known Means or Livelihood.
X. Y. Tribune.
A slight figure flitted in at the deer of
the academy et design, the ether uay, ana
disappeared into an inner room. She had
a rosy face and bright eyes.
"That is one of our models," said the
professor, rolling his eyes at the deer.
" A great change has taken place iu pub
lic opinion concerning the use of living
models," continued the professor willing
te talk. " Ten years age there was an
outcry against it. People said it was
scandalous. Posing being a new thing, it
was hard te get a model of cither sex.
New you can get hundreds, and engage
ments arc made weeks in advance '.'"
" What pay de they get?"
"When the life class was first estab
lished we had te pay $1.50 au hour ; new
the regular priee is 50 cents an hour.
Medels pose from twclve te twenty hours
a week. They are changed every two
weeks se as te give the students a change
of subject. Men are better models than
women, as they aic less easily fatigued."
" Hew long does the model stand with
out resting ?"
" An inexperienced one only twenty
minutes at first. Stand iu one position live
.minutes without moving a muscle and you
Will get some idea of hew tiresome it is."
" De they show much embarrassment?"
" Se much that the muscles are as rigid
as iron, and they become drenched with
perspiration. Rut after posing two or
three times the embarrassment wears oil'.
It becomes merely routine business."
" De many make it a profession?"
There are several men who de noth
ing eke. Tuey pese here at the academy,
at the art students' league aud iu private
studies. Most of our female models are
young women who work iu workshops and
factories. They receive small wages aud
think it a great piece of fortune if the e.iu
earn $10 a week extra by posing. They in
variably give fictitious names.
"Seme curious bits of romause have
come under my observation," the profes
sor resumed after a pause, "A pretty
little brunette came in one day aud asked
for an engagement. She was in straight
ened circumstances, but did net disclose
her intery. She was se sweet-tempered
thu' .,'. v became a great favorite. I have
neve. - .'.en anyenu se ambitious te earn

day, made her glow pale with fatigue,
but she wouldn't give up. Well, it turned

and was a mere girl when she married a
Japanese, the son ei au ex-minister lrem
Japan. The husband spent all his money,
was thriftless and earned nothing. She
had te keep him. She frequently posed
for artists in "their studies. A richly
dressed woman came in one merniug and
inquired for her. The model, she said,
was her uicru'aud she intended te make
her the heiress te her property if she
could be found. After a two days' search
the model was traced te a private studio,
where she was nosing for an artist ar.d his
wife. This was the last I heard of the pet
model.
" It is always the whip of necessity that
drives people into posing. One day a
woman of reiincment made an application.
She was handsomely drcsied, wearing a
sealskin sacque and a silk dress. Her
face was pale and careworn, and she said
she had net had enough te eat. Her story
was that she had married well, her hus
band having an inceina of $0,000 a year.

took wings. SJie said she had tried copy

but she had net met with success. Her

' De you have any boys for models ?"
" One of the best subjects we have ever

lleu Probable.
Twenty four of the Democratic senators
held a caucus last evening te interchange
views iu regard te the fitness of the presi
dent's nomination ei tariff commisssencrs.
Ne attempt was made topreeuro caucus
action en the question, aud at the cenelu
sien of the coufcrence every senator was
left free te vote upon it in executive ses
sion according te his own judgment or
his individual bias. It was developed,
however, that the Democratic senators are
practically unanimous in holding that the
commission is unfairly constituted, aud
should thercfore be rejected.
The ground was taken by nearly all the
speakers (including Senater Bayard and
sumo ethers who voted for the tariff com
mission bill) that the proposed member
ship of the commission is wholly incon
sistent with the avowed purpose of the
bill, which contemplated an impartial
investigation and looked te recommenda
tions that should be free from the suspi
cious of self-iutercst.
It was asserted that two of the nomi
nees, namely, Messrs. Hays, of Massachu
setts, aud Garland, of Illinois, are salaried
officers of a protective high tariff associa
tion, and that a third, Mr. Perter, is " a
stipendiary, of the same organization.''
Messrs. Oliver, of Pennsylvania, and
Kenncr. of Louisiana, were criticised as
being like wise champions of protection
for special interest who might well be ex
pected te combine with the above named
members in the interest of high tai iff gen
erally. -Mr. Underwood, of Georgia, was referred
te as "an obscure old mau," nominated at
the instance of Georgia protcctenists, and
Mr. Ambler, of Ohie, (whom Senater Pen
dleton declared he had never heard of
until nominated for a place ou the commis
sion,) although regarded, le some extent,
as au "uncertain quantity," was generally
believed by the members of the caucus te
be also a friend of high tarifl.Mr. Wheeler
of New Yerk, has, it was said, a leauing
in the same direction.
The seventh gentleman nominated for
membership Mr. Phelps, of Missouri
was spoken of as a tariff reformer, but it
was also announced that he had declined
the appointment.
In discussing the personnel of the com
mission as a whole, several senators ex
pressed serious doubts as te the intellect
ual competence of the proposed Commis
sioners te investigate a subject of such
difficulty and complexity as the tariff,
and te give Congress advice with regard
te it which would have real value and im
portance. Se far as can be ascertained, there arc
only two of the Democratic Senators will
ing te vote for the confirmation of the
commissioners, namely, Messrs. Brown,
of Georgia, and Jonas, of Louisiana, both
of whom feel measurably bound te de se by
reason of their having rcspectively recom
mended two of the members appointed.
On the ether hand, it is understood that
Scnateis Van Wyckand Incalls will vote
with the body of the Democrats against
confirmation.
In this event the determination of the
question will probably rest with the two
members of the "Independent party" in
the Senate Senators David Davis and
Makone.
The Senate finance committee, by a
party vete (Messrs. Bayard and Beck vot
ing negatively), decided le report the
names of the .commissioners for cenfirma-
lien.
LOVE'S CltCKL WAYS.
Dew t'lrofle Haliatry'n Heart Was Crushed
ou a Celd December Night.
Chicago Tribune.
" Ceal costs money."
A bitter, mocking'smilcthe smile of a
demon that has been baffled in his unholy
dibits te lure a soul te ther uttermost
depths of the Iuferne played around the
Grecian lips of Girofle Mahaffy as these
cruel words fell with cruel incisiveness
from her lips. Over the backyard fence
came the silycry gleams of the inconstant
moon as she moved through the heavens
in brilliant splendor, and touched the
gentle hand, the mess-covered woodshed
and caused the deg, whose bleed-curdling
bay had fallen in such fearful cadences
upon Rupert Hctheringten's large, west
side cars, te stand out, perfect in every
outline, against the pure mezzotints of
the recently-painted doorsteps.
"Yeu are jesting, sweetheart," mur
mured Rupert, pulling up his pants se
they would net wrinkle at the knees and
seating himself beside the girl.
"Am I ?" was the reply m cold Crystal
lake accents, that seemed te Rupert te
pierce his very vest. "If you really thiuk
se leek out of the window."
Rupert obeyed. The moonlight streamed
into the room as he pushed aside the
heavy pomegranate curtains, falling in
mellow splendor en vase of malachite and
alabaster, en statue aud bronze. Tazzas
of jasper and lapis lazuli steed in recess
and alcove crowded with flowers ; curious
tiilles in geld and silver carving, in amber
and mosaic steed en table and etagere. A
curiously-wrought sideboard that was new
in the days of the Crusaders steed at his
left. The lire glowed ruddily in the grate,
the pure white Haines leaping up the
chimney as if in very glee. Amber-tinted
sour mash, as Rupert well knew, lay con
cealed within the recesses of the sideboard.
Outside the keen wind of December
whistled shrilly through the dead branches
of the sturdy oaks, telling of the cold and
suffering that was te conic.
"And de you really mean what you say,
sweetheart?" he asked.
"Yea," replied the girl. " There must
be some kind of au understanding. I
cannot bluff, away all the days of my
youth."
"Eueugh," said Rupert, "I will marry
you."
" But wheu '"' asked the girl.
Leaning ever the beautiful girl he hissed
iu her car the fateful words : " When

The vctcratis wcre met at the railroad
depots as they came in and escorted te
their headquarteis by a local committee of
reception. Among the first te arrive was
Cel. D. II. Kimmel, commander of the
regiment, a hale, hearty, jelly looking sol
dier, who made friends of all our citizens
whom he happened te meet.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock the
veterans left the Keystoue hotel, and with
the Millcrsville cornet band at the head of
the column, marched le the residence of
Cel. II. A. Hambright, North Prince
street, thence te the office of Mayer Mac
Gonigle, aud thence te the office of Majer
A. C. Reinejhl, each of whom they took
in charge and conducted them te the
Grand Army hall, where the formal meet
ing of the society was held.
William Roehm, chairman of the com
mittee of arrangements, warmly welcomed
the visiting veterans te the reunion, and
premised te take geed care of them while
in Lancasler.
Mayer MacGouigle followed in a speech
of welcome te the hospitalities of the city.
He complimented the Ninth en the gal
lant services they had rendered the coun
try aiid related in detail the circumstances
attending a number of the mere important
and exciting battles and skirmishes iu
which they had been engaged
Majer A. C. Rcineihl, the orator of the
day, was then introduced and deliv';.d
an oration that pleased the veterans im
mensely, lie said that if he had net been
a member of the old 7Cth regiment, as
brave an infantry regiment :ut ever
charged ever lebef rifle pits', he would
have been glad te be a member of the
Ninth Pennsylvania calvary, as brave a
cavalry regiment as ever swung sabre or
chased Humphrey Marshall.' He had hrcn
introduced as the o'a.erof the day, but
he had no set oration ; he had come with
the intention of speaking a few hearty
words of welcome te his old soldier com
rades. And perhaps there is some appro
priateness in the fact that an infantryman
should welcome the cavalry men, becausa
you must remember that during the war
the cavalry wera always glad te be wel
comed by thu infantry when they came iu
from a raid, and well they enjoyed the
hard tack aud het colfee that was cheer
fully shaied with them. My comrade:-,
it seems scarcely possible as wc are
gathered here te-day, that twenty one
years have elapsed sines the war hrst
broke out; that it is twenty-one years
since the first gun was fired en Sumter and
the loyal legions gathered under the 1'nieii
banner. Twenty-one years age saw no
such sight as this, but saw one of the
crack rcgiracnti of the war, muter the
gallant Hambright, march te the depot te
depart for the scene of action, (applause.)
and I am glad te sec him here te-day. It
seems appropriate that thia reunion
should be iu this Graud Army hall among
these relics of the great struggle. All
thc3e surroundings .should be an in
spiratien te us as "we sit here among
a nospitable pcepiu, wne extend a hearty
welcome te you. Wc marched through
these streets te day, but there were no
tears aud no sorrow. Twenty-one years
age, when our band marched through the
streets, there were teal's aud sorrowful
hearts in many homes. Wc have met here
te-day te fight our battles ever again, and
I hope, as in the old days, we may take a
drink from the old canteen.
Your history is mere familiar le you
than te mej but, your regiment enjoyed a
distinction that many ethers equally as
brave did net have the opportunity te
enjoy. Your regiment gave the lie te that
general who said that you never see a dead
cavalryman. He had never seen the
Ninth Pennsylvania cevalry iu action.
Your regiment, was continually in action,
and with youe sabre:; carved a record
of which you may well be proud.
It would take au hour, aye hours, te
rccite your deeds. But it was in
the crowning glory of the war that you
wen the greatest distinction. It was in
General Sherman's march te the st.i that
your regiment enjoyed the proud distinc
tion of being the only l'eun.sylvania
regiment marching under Ivilpatrick.
It was the Ninth Pennsylvania cav
alry that hal the honor le receive
the surrender of General .Toe Johnsten.
But the most eloquent oration that could
be delivered here te-day is a simple recital
of your (feeds. However ou au occasion
such as this nobody should make long
speeches short speeches and long ban
quets ; few words and many drinks-. Wc
trust te live te see the fruits of the war
blossom throughout the Seuth and twenty
one years from this time when another
generation has sprung up we trust that
our country raved by such men a you,
will have taken a great stride forward to
ward union aud. amity ; that the Seuth
will have accepted the results of the war
and that this great people will be united.
Cel. II. A. Hambright and Judge Pat
tci30!i followed in brief complimentary
speeches.
Tiie president of the society, Cel. I). II.
Kimmel, called the meeting te order, and
the regular inutinc of s-eciey businers
was transacted, none of which is of special
interest te the public, except the election
of officers for the ensuing year. They are

Cel. Patterson, Maj. lJeinejhl, Win.
Rechm. A. C. Shcnck, J. B. Amwake,

songs and funny yams by seme of the
veterans.
The supper ended thu line was again
formed and marched te the Keystone hotel
and dismissed.
The visiting veterans are a line body of
men, albeit seme of them are begiuiug te
show traces of advancing age. The ex
press themselves delighted with the court
esies shown them by the people aud will
long rcmembcr the 13th leuiiien in Lan

Accident te the Clilel KiiKiuecr.
Last night about 1 1 :V an alarm of tire
was sounded from box 12, located at.
Zahm's corner, Ceutre Square. The lire
men were promptly en hand aud they Soen
learned that the place where the fire was
supposed te be was at the store of Al.
Roscnsteiu, en North Queen street, about
midway between the squaie and Orange
street. Chief Engineer Hewell was seen en
the ground and he found Resctistein's store
full of smoke. He called te the inmates
of the heuse te open the deer, but he re
ceived no rcspouse aud then had the glass
in the deer bteken. Ikywith tcveral ether
partics,'then entered the store taking with
them the hose of engine Ne. 1. They
found a dense smoke, but no lire.
While they were in seme one went te thu
plug and turned en the water by mistake.
The hose was quickly taken' te the deer,
but a portion of the goods were badly
damaged by water. The party then enter
ed the cellar but found no lire there and the
ho.se was taken in the rear and run down
into the cellar of Reienstniu'H heuse
through the kitchen. It was finally dis
covered that the lire was iu the cellar of
Ames Ringwalt's harness store, which is
next deer aud in the same buildiug with
RefcnstcinV. The chief engineer ordered
that the window te the cellar, which is
immediately under the large window, ou
North Queen street, be broken. This was
dene aud the line of hee from engine Ne.
I, began work. The fire was found
tti be in the rear of Ringwalt's cel
lar riht near the steps from the trap deer.
A stream was kept ou it for some time
when all was extinguished. This morn
ing it was found that two sides of patent
leather had been burned and a larue let
of ether leather, hair, A;c., damaged by
water. A keg of harness blacking
was upset and nearly all' lest. Mr.
Ringwalt's less may reach $150..U is whole
stock was insured for $-1,200. The only
less te Mr. Rescnstciu will be from the
water. Where the lire started there was a
large pile of shavings, which had been left
ever when the building was finished.
These were all consumed damaging
the stock as stated above. Hew the tire
staited is a myste.y, as there was no fiie of
any kind used in the lung wait side for
seme time and the only light in the
buildiug was the gas jet in the stoic room
which is left burning low at nijjht. The
cellar of Mr. Riugwult is separated from
that of Mr. Roseustciu'g by a thin beard
partition and most of this smoke found its
way into the stere of Rescnstciu. Thu
building in which both stores are located
is owned by Themas E. Franklin esq. It
is net damaged in the leasti Rescnstciu ':;
Meck is also insured.
Accident te the Cliiel I'.nj'tiivt'i-.
While the lire was going ou Chief En
gineer Hewell was down in the cellar
uuder Rescnsteiu's. He was accompanied
by Michael Rese, driver of cart Ne. 4.
The cellar was full of smoke. The chief
was endeavoring te locate the fire exactly
and he sent Rote for an axe with which te
cut down the beard partition. Resa
returned in about tun minutes and
was surprised te find the chief lying
en the cellar llcer unconscious. He quickly
called for help and Mr. Hewell was carried
into the yard, from which he was removed
te his father's residence where he was at
tended by Dr. Metzgar. Te-day he is
still feeling unwell but is able te be about,
Mr. Hewell states that he felt the effects
of the smoke while in the store.aud after he
bad sent Rese into the cellar he had a queer
feeling and suddenly fell ever. Although
affected by the smeke he was net uncon uncen uncon
scieus.but was unable te call for assistance.
It was very fortunate that Rose returned
in a short time for Mr. Hewell might have
been dead in a short time had he been left
in the cellar alone.
