Just before ten o'clock Tuesday night, an
alarm of tire wan sounded from box '.Iii, nt
Market and Chestnut streets, and the Are de

The tire was found te be lu the second story
of the large three-story brick building, In the
rearet 1W North Queen strcet, where Joint
C. Spaeth formerly kept a conteeHonory.
The tire was extinguished in n short time,
with a few buckets of water, after the fleer
and ether woodwork had lieeu burned some
what. The damage wasvery slight. Tlie building
in owned by the Saltier estate nud was used
by Mr. Spaeth for the manufacture of candles
and otherconfecllonery. There isa consider
able quantity of goods of dltlorent kinds
stored there at present There is Utile doubt
that the tire was the work of au Incendiary.
In the coiner where It started steed a barrel,
en top of which wan a tray full el paper,
used for wrapping up candles. The barrel
was burned and the paper almost consumed.
It Is bollevod that the iucendlary here applied
the match. In the room lieneath this steed
a beiler and engine, but this did net de the
damage, as there are no signs of tire ou tlie first
Meer, and last night the tire under the lioller
wasvery slight. The theery Is that seme

panes are broken. Inside of tills deer a let
erashes had been spilled, and lu these tracks
efa man's feet were plainly visible this morn
ing, lu ether parts of the building there was
evldeuce that it had been disturbed and the
small deer, or window, of the stable ou
Market street leeks us though it had been
scorched or smoked with a candle.
The fire wasdlsoeverod by Mrs. It. Itucli

coureroncen, each under the presiding elder
or the district where the mission point In
located, and that In the meanUme the work
en the annual missions should be ropertod
separately te the annual conference.
Ileselveil, That no mission point should
be located without the cencurrence of the
au perln tendeut or the Citv MInnlensrv seclnt v.
or the noclety Itself and the presiding elder
of the district, and where such concurrence
does net exist, the case should be referred

ntrlrVen .Huilitenly sVltli Vertigo Willie Inter.
Ins I lie Treasury HuUctlug-.
Humors have been afloat Tuesday after
noon in Washington of the serious Illness of
Secretary Manning. They grew out or the
fact that the socretary had been taken home
Irem the treasury In his carrlageand was
carried from his olllce te the carriage, being
unable te walk. Upen luqulry at the secre
tary's renidonce It was stated that he had
simply met w ith a palulul accident while re
turning te his olllce from the meeting of the
cabinet. He had vvalked ever from the
White Heuse, and without waiting ler the
elevator te take him le his room ou the sec
ond tloer he walked up thu two flights or
stairs. On reaching the upper lauding his
feet suddenly turned under him, severely
wrenching his ankle. He limped into hfs
room w ltheut calling for assistance. Shortly
alterwardn Dr. Hamilton, or the Marine hos
pital Horvlce, happening le be In the build
ing en bublness, attended te the injured
limb, and the socretary was then taken
home In his carriage. When he reached
home Dr. Lincoln, the secretary's family
physician, was summoned te attend him.
Dr. Lincoln gas e tlie following statemcut
te an Associated Press reperter :
"The socretary w as seized vv ith vertigo ou
his return te his eflice from the cabinet
meeting. He had been working all day
without taking any nourishment and was
feeling very w eak. He walked up the two
Hlghls of stairs, and en reaching the top was
attacked with votlge and partly fell and
pal tly sat devv u. Illnsuddeu illness alarmed
Inn friends very much. He was taken home.
When I saw hint his niltid wan perfectly
clear and he had free use of all his limbs aud
gavomeavery clear account or everything
that occurred. Twe or three hours after Ids
attack he had improved very much."
At midnight Dr. Lincoln, who had just
lelt the secretary's bedside, said that Mr.
Mannng was holding hlsew u and had slightly
imprev ed Blnce his last visit. The secretary's
mind, he said, wan still clear, aud there had
lieen no change for the worse lu hlscondltlen
slnce his tlrst visit and he did net anticipate
there would be dr-ing the night. He had
rallied from the vetllge and prostration and
was resting comfortably. The'secretary's ill
ness, I)r, Lincoln says, was caused by pros
tration from ovorwerk. He has been work
ing very hard and had a great many things
en his mind lutely and the result was this
prostration.
In spite of tlie hepeful view of the case
taken by Dr. Lincoln, some of the friends et
the secretary are exceedingly anxious about
his condition and consider It quite serious,
KKSIINU COMremADIA.
Washington', D. C, March tM. Secre
tary Manning's condition Is Improved this
morning. He had a quiet night, and is at
tills hour (11 a. in.) resting comfortably.
Secretary Manniug was resting mere easlly
this afternoon and seemed te be better. He
Nufiers considerable pain from his sprained
ankle which It Is feared will conllne him te
hi bed for a week or mere. Thore wan no
ovldence of a return this morning of the
vertigo with which he was stricken yester
day, but at the same time his system Is very
much weakened from overwork nud lack of
necessary exercise. "Such clese conllne cenllne
uient and hard work an the secretary has
Improved upon hlmseir," said a treasury
elllclal te day, "etten working until early
morning, was enough te prostrateono less
corpulent aud robust than the secretary."
High etllclals at the treasury department,
while they de uut consider the Illness of the
socretary as ulauulug, still think he Is quite
n sick mail.

St. Let'is, March 21. Big crewda gathered
at the Missouri Pacific yards this morning
and at ten o'clock ever 6,u00 persons covered
every avaUable box car standing en the tracks
of the Wabash fc San Francisce railroad tracks
and upon Tayon avenue bridge, which spans
the tracks. The switch engine was putting
about making up a train, with Superinten
dents Kerrigan, Dickinsen and Stlllwell
doing most of the work. The regular engi
neer and fireman, In response te calls from
the crowd, Jumped from their engines.
After a long wait another engineer was pro
cured, but the firing was done by a
detective. Finally, arter numerous miner
accidents, caused by the nervousness
el the men at work, the train was ready and
the read engine was coupled en aud rapidly
pulled the train out.
Fifty police officers steed distributed ever
the tops or the earn, three and four te each.
Twe otUcers rode en the pilot of the engine
and the cab wen crowded with officers
and detectives and the caboeso was
also well filled. Whilst the train was
being prepared the police kept every,
bodyeutsldo the lines or the Missouri Pa Pa
clflcread. As the train passed through the
yurda, hoots and crlen were loud. Without
stepping, Hie train proceeded en Its way, the
police guard accompanying It te the city limits
where It was turned ever te Sheriff Allen, or
St. Leuis county, and his deputies. Soen
after the train left, the switch engine, which
had made up the train, steamed up near
r.wingaveuue, where Hie crowd was gather
ing and stepped about a hundred yards
east of Ewing avenue. Hut few of
the pollce officers were en the ground.
The crowd made a rush, and in another
moment n loud, sharp repert was heard,
which was caiued by the disconnecting of
the blew-off pipe. The water ran from the
boiler, accompanied with clouds of steam.
The engineer and several guards sprang in
terror front the enveloping steam and fol
lowed by derisive cheers sped te the
shops. The police then made a dash for
the crowd but it melted away, euly te mater
ialize a moment alter, directly between the
ellirera and the shop of the company. A
brawny shepman cried "New for the scabs,"
aud led the way toward the unguarded
shops. A few only followed him and
the pollce rallied te the rescue in
tlme te save any damage. Had the crowd
f fellow ed their leader and gained possession
ei tne slieps tuey could net have been
dislodged by the few oftlcers for
hours. A hurried telephoue message called
every available officer te the ground
and although the crowd Is new perfectly
quiet there Is no saying what moment fresh
and mere serteua treuble may occur.
