A QUIET EVENING. 'n Evcnlnc Experience of Mr. Itodwell. of Kelson Street. ICopyrightcd by Leo & Shcparil. Boston, and published by special arrangement with tlicm.I Mr. Bodwell, of Kelson street, sat clown for n quiot communion with hia family and the newspaper on Thursday 'evening. All the children but the eldest had eaten supper, and ha was industri ously engaged at that task. Mr. Bod well drew np to tho lamp, selected an in teresting article that would undoubtedly engross hia wife, and commenced to ro produco it, while she, patient woman, kept her eyes on tho children, as the father was very sensitive to foreign noises when engaged in reading. Bod well had got down tho column some -twelvo lines, and was just luying him self out on tho big words, when ono of the girls, while taking unusual precau tion to step around a scuttle of coal, actually stepped into it, and a bewilder ing crash followed. ''Merciful heaven!" shouted Bodwell, "what was that?" Mrs. Bodwell ex plained, tho other children tittered, and the girl, being a wise child, knew her own father, and sagaciously left. Again isoawell picked up tho paper, and giv- ut spitetul twist, resumed tho ar il V it was a moment or two before w 'regained his composure, but the author waa a man nccpaaititod with the business, nnd tho skill with which he CENTS PER YARD FOR a goutl homo ma(o rug carrot.

Ho became wholly ab sorbed in tho matter, and at ono point he involuntarily brought down hia clinched hand with a force that amply expressed his own feelings and very forcibly stirred up thoso of one of the children, who had caught tho full effect of tho descending fist. "Will somebody cut mo open?" plead ed the despairing man, as ho caught up tho shrieking offspring and fell to rub bing its back, whilo tho mother dashed after tho camphor, and tho other chil dren, awestruck by tho affair, rushed into tho hall to laugh. It waa full five minutes before the injured ono was qui eted, and by that timo Mrs. Bodwoll ex pressed a de6iro to hear no more of the articlo; but Bodwell was determined then to finish it anyway, and he resumed the paper. During tho progress of the next reading a littlo girl came in to bor row a flatiron, and the mother got up to give it to her, moving about so quietly that Bodwell waa not interrupted. The eldest boy was still at his supper. He waa a good boy. Whenever ho wanted anything ho stood up and reached for it himself, and did it very quietly. Just as tho littlo girl departed with the llatiron, tho heir, who had his fa ther's boots on, stood up to reach ovei tho table for tho sixth tart. The mothet in returning detected tho vacant chair. and fearing somo one would fall over it and make another disturbance, she thoughtfully moved it back to the wall, and just got by us the heir settled back with the coveted tart, and finding noth ing but tmn air to receive him made desperate effort to savo himself, but waa too late, and cainodowu on the (loot with ft crash that mado every timber in thehouso sqncak.and tho horrified parent on looking up, was nearly petrified with amazement to see las own boots clawin madly among tho dishes, whilo tho dis tracted occupant was vainly endeavoring to extricate himselttrom under the table, That wound up the evening's entertain ment The disgusted Bodwell put on his coat and lied down street, leaving tno very soro and mortiiied heir to sup press the mirth indiscreetly displayed by tho other children as he best could with tho ugencies at hand. Can Point "With Pride. All good Republicans in the stato should vote for Gregg and Morrison in November, and we believe they will for these men represent the principles of government which have been so bene ficial to the state and nation for the past thirty years. Gregg and Morrison are men to whom the Republicans of this state can point with pride, for they are of the stock which makes the best of public servants honest, sincere men whoso characters aro above reproach. whose whole lives have been sient in honest industry, in good deeds for the umiun auu xur luuir leapeuuvo com munities, and whose axperieuco has been such as to fit them for the duties which the Republicans propose to elect tuein to pcriorni. :It Would Astonish iiim.

Last year It organized its own tours to tho Pacific coast and thoy wore so successful that they havo wisoly determined to have them again this year with an additional tour to Mexico, something never yot done by a railroad corporation. Thoso tours will bo limited to a cortain number ol passengers, who will travol in r Pullman voUlbtiletrain, furnished with tho luxurious appointments of tho richest home, with la dios' maid, stenographer and typewriter, library, bath and barber, and.tmoklng and library rooms, and an observation car in truth an exact reproduction of tho Penn sylvania Limitod. The first tour leaves New York January 13th, and speeds direct to tho Pacific Coast via St. Louis, Kansas City, Las Vtgas and Santa Fe. Tho second tour, tho Mexican, leaves February 10th, running directly to tho City of Mexico via Cincinnati, Mam moth Cave, Ulrmingham, Montgomery and New Orleans, with incidental stops en route. Tho third, February 21th, runs di rectly to New Orloans via Cincinnati nnd Mammoth Cave, and. thonco, after the Mardi Gra3 festivities, to tho Pacific Coast. Tho fourth and Cab, both through Califor nia tours, will leave March 21th and April 20th, respectively. Tho tours list ytar were so successfully conducted that thoso who took them wera unanimous in thtir praise of tho manage ment.

A Dwolllnp: Outsldo tho Boromrh Lino Burned to tho Ground and tho Contents Lost. Mysterious Origin. Shortly beforo ono o'clock this mcrning tlio whistlo of tho Kohinoor colliery broakor was blown vigorous and tho fire boll in tho tower of tho borough building took tho signal and scundod n genoral alarm. Tho blowing of tho whiitlo lod tho peoplo to boliovo that tho breaker waa on DroBndthoy jumped from, their beds and flocked to tho colliery in drove?. Fori unately tho firo was not as serious a' at Urst supposed, but it was terlniu enough to render n minor and Ms family homeless. Tho firo was in a houso located just west of tho borough lino ownod by Mrs. Uren- nan and oc upied by Thomas llanna nud his family. Tho Columbia and Phoenix companiei tried to get near tho sccno, but finding no mrans to secure water thoy returned. Tho Rescuo Hook end Ladder Company ttoppod its truck at tho Kohinoor colliery and soveral of its men onered what sorvico they could give with their drag hooks and other appliances, but by tho time they reached the plsco tho structure was doomed and nothing but tho foundation walls and ono sldo of tho building was left, Mr. llanna, tho occupant of tho building. and hU wifo and infant child had a narrow oscapo from falling victims of the flames Mr. llanna had worked on tho night shift and got homo shortly after cloven o'clock Ho retired with hia wifo and child about twelve o'clock. The latter foil intoasound sleep, but the father was rostloss aftor his hard'day's work. Fortunately ho was, for had he fal'en into a deep -lumber it would havo been his sloop of death. As Hanna lay in a dozing conditid,-. ba thought ho heard a noiso like the crackling of burning timber. Gradually recovering ins senses, llanna aroso from tho bod and oponod tho doer of tho bodroom. Tho hall was full ofsmike. Hastening back Mr. Hannah aroused his wifo and chi'd. They didn't havo timo to put on any street ap parol and woro obliged to make thoir way down stairs and out to tho road in thoir night clothes. Hanna proceeded to nrcuso tho noighbors. All woro nsloop and wholly unconscious of tho danger at thoir doors. The family in one of tho housos next to tho burning structure slept so soundly that tho window panes of thoir sleeping apart ments had to bo broken with stones to arouse them. Having alarmed tho neighborhood Hannah returned to his houso and tried to mako his way through it to tho back room, but was unable to do so. Ho then tried to get up stairs again to got somo of his clothing, but in this ho also failed. Thon ho tried to savo tho conlonts of his parlor, but tho firo mado such rapid hoadway that after ho succeeded in removing n sidoboard and n sifa he found it impossible to roturn tothu h mso again. Tho building was a two-story and attio frame structure and formed.tho best kind of material to food tho flamos, as it was old. It was burned to the ground and alt tho contents, with tho exception of tho two pieces takon from tho parlor, wero des troyed. Mr. Hanna stood in front of tho building as tho flames gradually consumed each piocoand said to a roportor: "Yos," he said, "I am burned clean out and I haven't got a cent of insurance. Evon tho cloth ing went up. All I have is this old pair of pants and bat and my wilo and child havo nothing but thoir night clothes. I don't know what started tho firo. It is a mystory to mo.
