Anarchist Fire-Buss.
j Jeu.ey City, N. J., April 4 Bernanl
! ;:uuie. the Itader of a gang of fire-bugs who
j bave been fleecing insurance companies, was
j arrested in this city yesterday and taken to
ltnjoklyn. where three other members of the
gang Frederick Keight, Frederick Freund
ami Frank Duii:g are ill custody. The
i method of the gang was
to
rent stores, put
in a small Mock and obtain a heavy insur
ance on tbe stock and fixtures. When pre
aralious were made for the iuct-ndiary blaze
a lamp would be broken. Near it were plac
e I bladders tilled with benzine and around
the bladder a circle of gunpowder.
A slow fuse was used to ignite the powder
which exploded the bladder, and like a Hash
the place would be ablaze, leaving no trace
: ol the incendiary work except tbe broki n
lamp to deceive he iiisuraiii-e teople. The
o-cupants of the store would, of course, be
absent the night of the fire attending a so
cial gathering at the home of one of the
oiher cons-oirators to prove an alibi.
Toe gang is charged with having startid
two fires in lirooklyn. Illume was located
at So. 11 Porter street, and between the mat-tn-sses
were found twenty-two bladders. The
gang are anarchists, and belong to a Chicago
baud.
Settlers Open the Fight.
Des Moisks, Ia, April 5. The firsthostile
demonstration mide by the evicted settlers
in the river Ian Is oecurrej yesterday in Ham
ilton county, sixteen miles southwest from
Webster City, near win! is known among
the settlers as. Hell's Hollow. A I'niled
States Mir.ln! and pi we evicted a farmer
iiam-.sl lt'.ake, ami while they were removing
bis effects. w.re tired upn by settlers con
cealed in a dense thicket ais.ut a quarter of
a mile awty. Prj'ojbly forty shots were
fins!, but the marksmanship was either poor
or the range was intentionally wide, for none
f the Dcpu'ies were hurt. The poss-? had a
number of writs, but as they were only
armeJ with revolver they did not atteinot
; to Tve them, but retr-ated in g sd order.
Further hostilities ure anticipated, as tbe
settlers are said to be well organized.
How it Works in Kansas.
Gov. Martin, of Kansas, in his lata mes
sage, says :
Fully nine-tenths of the drinking and
drunkenness prevalent in Kansas eight years
ago, bave been abolished, and I afBnn, with
earnestness and emphasis, I hat this Stale is
today tbe most temperate, orderly, aoher
community of people in Uncivilized world.
The abolition of the saloon has not only
prompted the personal happiness and gener
al pnsperity of our eitiaens. but H has enor
mously diminished crime ; has filled thou
sands of homes, where vice, want and
wretchedness one prevailed, with peace,
plenty and contentment, and has materially
increased the trade and business of those en
gaged in the sale uf usefjl and wholesome
articles of merchandise.
It will now lie in order for the liquor-dealers
to hire and httjtirt cheap "correspond
ents" from various corners and cross-roads
throughout Kansas, to inform eastern papers
that prohibition in Kansas is a "miserable
failure," "expensive fan," "ruinous fanati-
i cism. etc. It may now he expected that the
"nicropolitan" press will find it necessary
to emphasize and re emphasis, iterate and
reiterate the -fact" that prohibition i a fail
ure : to insist upon "the folly of prohibi
tion," and the "wisdom of license."
Tha U. S. Sanato Adjourns.
WashikoTox. April Z Tlie special session
of the Senate of the Fifty -first Congress ad
journed to-Iay. From the tone of conver
sation of the Senators they adjourned in a
very bad h'im-ir. Infornuition had been eir
cnlateil that there was a jts;"iliy of the
appointment of Mr. HaUlead eurimr the te
cesa, which was calculated to fire the ire of
the gentlemen who voted auiiinst bis confir
mation. It was rctna'ked by a venty prom
inent Senalor that siiK the rejection a large
amount ofnialeri.il had been r.-eeived by tl
Senate referring to Mr. Halstead politic-ally,
personally and jotirnaiistically. whirh not
only confirmed the Senators in the justice of
their art. bu' was worse than anything which
had yet ben made public on the subject.
Tbe Senator was not certain whether tbe in
formation would be gi ven out at once, should
Mr. Halstead he aptninied, or whether it
would he held until Ihe Senate met. A num
ber of Senator! left to-day and more will
leave to morrow, hut ail of the Republicans
speak of returning and retaining until tlie
not weather.
After referring the resolution expressing
sorrow at John Brigbt's death, to the Com
mittee on Foreign relations, Mr. Edmunds
offered a resolution that in the absence of the
Vice Frsident, Mr. Ingalls be chosen Prtsi
deot of the Senate pro tempore,
Tbe resolution was pnt by Ihe Secretary
and agreed lo without division, and then Mr.
Ingalls, escorted by Mr. Kdniunds, had the
oath of office administered to him by Secre
tary McCook, and took the chair, expressing
at the same time his grateful acknowledge
ment to the Senate for the renewed expres
sion of its confidence.
At 3:40, on motion of Mr. Cameron, the
Senate adjourned sine die.
j Jumped Four Thousand Feet.
Qt i.Hi-EY, III., April 4. Prof Harry Le
roy, of Decora, !a , took a thrilling and
highly sensational ride above this city at
noon to-day. After some dtficilty the bal
loon got away with its banian freight ill fine
style, and on reaching an altitude of 4.000
feet the aeronaut grasped the concentric ring
of the parachute attached to the side of the
balloon and leaied into space. The first few
liundred feet of the drop was rapid enough
to cause svera! lady sectutor3 to faint, but
the apparatus finally became inllated and
