THE COURTS. The Indiana Avenue R:&Ilrond Case Nearing an Eud. It Is Likely the Deoision Will Be Adverse to the Company, Mr. Ewing’s Manifold Troubles wilh the Mayhon's. New Suits and Judgments. THE INDIANA AVENUE RATLROAD OASE. Tho lestimony in the casa of the Indinoa avouus rallrond wns conoluded yostorday bo- foredudge Willlams, The iuformation in the case, which was for aquo watranto, was filed orig- inally the 25th of Julv, 1870. It statos that on o 1st day of Fobruary, 1809, and nt divors othor thaes, the Chicago City Rallway Company usurped and used, without suthority of law, the privileges und franobiacs of being a body politio, pnd laglog down, constructing, and operating Hnes of railway on Indiann avenuo, in contompt of the poople. Whoieforo an answar Is asked by tho defondant to show what warrant it had for so doing, In other words, it was claimed that the Company had not obtained tho consont of two-thirda of the prop- orty-owners along tho nvenue to laylng snd oporating a track on sald strect. In Octobor, 1870,.the Company filed an.anawer sottiug ont the grant of franchises to build ruil- ways to Hoemy Fullor, Fraullin Parmeloo, and Liberty Bigolow tho {ncorporation of the Chi- cago City Railway Company iu 1850, and tho various amendmonts to the chartor by which, pubsoquently, tho Company was authorized to sy down a track on Indisnn avenue, Tho ordinance relating to Indiana ovenuo was puzsod Aug. 22, 1864, conditioned that the con- Bent of tho owners of Lwo-thirds of tho property by linerl front messuremont bo first obtained, pud that the track bo laid within fifteon months from the passago of tho ordinauco. The Com- pany also claimod that it had obtainod the con- sent of the Supervisors of the Town of South Chicago and Hydo Park, and the Town of Lako, and it thereforo clmms it is ontitled to run its cars on Indious aveuuo and the oher streots whera it hias tracks, T'ho Attorney-General, on hohalf of the poople, filed a roplication, slleging that the Com- pany had - not obtained consent of the ownors of two-thirds of - tho property on tho streets occupied by ite linos of road; thint the Company did not construct the wholo track on Indinna avenue to the city limits, but imply to Thirty-first stroct, within the time limited by law ; that tho Uom{mny was only al- Jowed to lay a siuglo track, and has_aotu- ally laid fivo tracks, being eide-tracks or ewitches, by ronson of which tho avenue wns _greatly obstruoted ; oud, lastly, that tiro Compnny lind Talied £ oboy tho ordinanca requiriug it to keop tho strests moistoned whersa it 100 its tracks, and that tho Company had also disoboyed various other ordinances, To ihs the Company rejoived that it had nlwass kept tho law, but bad boen provouted from Inying its tinck south of Thivty-frst streot Dby au injunction, "o triwl occupled thres daye, and a large omount of ovidenco was introduced to show that the Company, in good faith, and, as it supposed, guncassfully, obtamod tho signatures of aufli- ciont property-ownors to maka tho nocessary Lwo- thirds. It was stated that tho length of the aveuuo was about 19,260 fect, aud it way neces- gary to procuro the cousent of property-ownera of 19,400 feot, Somo nico quentions of law aroraired, Among others, Mr, . L. 8horoy, on bohalf of the pooplo, clnims that tho cousent must bo wiitton, that it i in tho naturo of an jutevest in land, snd must Do ovidenced by doed. Oa tho other hand, ro- Iying on o decision of the Bupremo Court on a simlar point, Mesers, Hitehcock and Dupoe, in belslf of the Company, urge that it w not oven & loonss, an that 1f tno ordinance hnd not ecapeciolly commanded it no conseut would have boou roquigite, In commeuting on some of the evidencs, Mr. Hitchcoek remarked yesterdny that *Long Jobn " bad given his cousent by arol, because he was fearful lest, if in writing, t might turn up ogaiast him ot some future day, wud bo used adversely whon ho was rnning for some oflice. Henco thie suporiority of & parol consent, Judgze Willinms bas already intimated that tho neglect to build the track within the fifiecn ‘months will be futa), in his opinion, and hencethe decision will be for the complainant; but this nises snothor question, whether tho penalty for puch Jaches sball be by forfeiture of tho fran- chige on Indiana avenue, or sumply by flue, the defondunts naturally olaiming that the latter is suficient, while the complainaut insista on the former. The sult affccts a Jargo number of per- sous, both in property and conveuieuce, and its recult will be looked for with intorest. The argumont will be concluded to-d AN UNLUCKY SPECULATION, Martin B. ing filed a_bill in the Suporior Court yorterday, in which ho relates his trouples in councction with somo ousinoss transactions with the Mayhons.

CONBTITUTION, The Committoo ou the Coustitution roported, through its Chsirman, that the work wag #o im- portant, the Bocioty having outgrown tho old one, thnt more time was needed, and nuked until the firut sesslon of tue noxt anuual mooting.

Communicutions wero thoa recelved from por- sone wishing situntions, and a purse of 16 wus raised for .ono of the lady mombors who had boeu robbed, and did not havo enough left to get home with. Much nmusomont was then excitod by a largo modol of o bath-dipper, prescuted by Mr. Kuight, made Inrgo, according to tha Prosidont for *gentlomen of hard-hearing who could no seo well.” Tho advuntuges of this dipper wero that it did not disturb the collodion in tho bath, aud, bomg mads of o singloe pioco of sousoned hickory, was chieap, durable, sud easly obtalned and haudled, Beoretary Wilson made o statement of THE FINANGIAL CONDITION of thio Boclety, whioh showed it to be in a. much more ]:mnparuuu condition thun upou entoring his oity, 'I'he Association met in Chicago with a debt of nearly 8,600, It had recelvo dues, 883 ; subsoriptions, Suldy Houcoie plo- tures, $183 ; the auction, day boloie yesterday, 460,01 5 other nowicos, €500, Thero lind Luon prosonted to the Bocioty twe beautiful cameias, from Ovo was prosented by E. & IL I\ An- thony & Co, of New York, The cane wss & fine chestout snd wahogany oue, THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBU with niakel K}ntlng.

Mr. Boll then suoke very warmly of_tho ploas- ant timo thoy had had in this oity, snd oxprosued vory hearty thanks to Obicagoans for their kind troatmont to all of tho mombern, and he assured tho Asdocintion of an alfectionate welconio in Bobton noxt year. Tho Beoretary of thoe orgnnization wns an- thorized to fill sy vacancy that may ocour in the ofiiolal ranks during tho ensning year.

T'wo motions were then carriod : ono, that all business loft ovor afior tho moining session bo Inid on the table till next year ; the second, that tho aftoruoon bo dovoted 'to tho disousaion of practical photography, They then adjourned until 8 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION. In the absoneo of tha Presidout nnd Bcoretary, officers pro tom. were appoiuted, Mr. Hall ocou- pying tho chair until Mr. Knight, ove of tho many Vico-Presidonts, arrived. Tho meoting in tho afternoon waa very thinly attonded, and the tine was all takon up with tho discussion of the trials of tho art and how to got over them. TIUE FINST DIFFICULTY for whicha romedy was asked was, how to make o bath work regular, or, ss Mr, Collin put it, “ Wy doos a bath of collodion worle differently on the samo day, snd under apparently tho ssmo couditions, excopt time of day 2" | Many =oswors wore roady, somo thinking 1t was owing to the varylug tomperature, In the cool air of the morniog it would sottlo thin and flat, but in midday-heat tho nogative would be thiok and filmy. Some blamed tho light, and gome the chemicals, but the romarks of Mr. ‘Hall seomed to meet the approbationof all when Lo said that obsorvation slome could tell whother it was in tbe chemicals, in the light, or 1n tho opoerator himsolf, but, as a gonoral thing, its varation depended moro upon the variation in tho manipulation of the ohemicals than in tho chomicals themsolves. TItE NEXT DIFFICULTY was in the procoss of silvering. Onogentloman said that his bath used to act a3 if b silvered too short o time, or with s solution too weak, Mr. C. A, Wilsou had bad the samo trauble, and found that it was beoause the Klp" bod_boen kept too dry, sud that if it was kot in o dnmp place from twonty-four to forty-cight hours bo- foro using this fault wonld Lo avoided, Bir, Horn, of Philadolphis, 6aid, to uso tho Hovey paper whioh had beon kept damp forty- elght hours bofore ueing, put ono corner of the puper in the bath first, ond draw disgoually through nftor it had floated somo twenty scc- onds; then dray it over a plain glass rod “to re- move the tear-drops, Ho kopt bis bath always a littlo alkalino by liquid of ammonia. Gaeneral- Iy ha did not favor drying the paper by gas, 08 1t was opt to bo spoiled by iron fumos, which ho supposed to riso from the stove ovor which this operation {5 ususily performed, and these iron prrticlos, uniting with tho water in the paper, cansed the damage, Whenovor this process was used, tho drying must be done quickly. Mr. St. Clair spoke of tho danger of adding glycerina to nitrato of silver to form a bath, a8 Tormerly suggested by 3Ir. Clamoua. Ho snid, timt immediately upon tho addidon of tho glycerino, nitro-glycerino was formed, which is one of tho most dnngerous of explosives. A warm discussion was oreated at this polat, Some held that no such nnm{lou.nd ag ovor formed in such n bath, and that tho addition of nitrato of gilver to ammonia in the progess of fuming was much moro dengerous; that in the former cage the compound wag 1ot a dangerous explosive. Others hiold tho opposite viow, aud thoso ware prosout who testifiod of the losses thoy had re- ceived from the use of this process, MR, A, 8, BOUTHWORTI thon mads somo concluding remarks upon the necessity of clote observation, summing up his remarks io his adyice to the mombers of tho art present to *use their oyes for form, their hearts for fesling, and their whole potson, soul and body, for the highest motives aud for tho purost foelinga, and not to think about tho pay.” The eixth anonal convention of the Nntlonal Plhotographio Association then adjourncd.

From the Oshkosh (Wis,) Northiweatern, July 18, ‘[o 14th dny of July, 1874, will forever be a memorablo day in the annnls of our city's his- tory,—momorable for its hopos and foars, its hardabips, its blank ruin aud utter desolation. TILE ORIGIN, Tho firo broke out about 8 o'slock p. m., In & littlo barn or stable in ho rear of Coruolius McCabe's row of buildings on Malu stroot, noar Ohuroh, Tho barn was situnted dircotly in the rear of the atore ocouplod by I. J. Hollo a8 & floral empurium. _ Tho wind waa blowiug a por- feot Lurricane, and trec-tops wore bouding snd bowing under the stiffoning brooze. In fact, the wind bad ragod so violontly all tho after- noon that most of tho mills had to shut down for foar of a conflagration, Tho wind blow from tho soutbwost ot the time. That o fire ahould brenk out in this part of the ocity 40 rumote from tho mill was unexpectod. The barn where the fire igmtoed wass small oue, prob- ably 19520 feet aud 20 foct high, It had boou used horotofore by O. H, Curtls for his horso, but since Mr. Chirtis sold out his grocery store has boon unoccapied. Thers way o quan- ticy of liay in tho loft which mudo tha structuro go liko a tindor-box whon onco ignitad. Ono of thosteawers arrived, aud sob at the Church sireot rosorvolr, running & hoso bagk of tho building on tho west side of Malu stroot to tho vory flames, By the time the nozzls was pointed towarus tho flamos, the barn was ontirely co- volopod in flamos, but bad wator Leon thrown at that moment the fira could Liave beon oarily ox- tinguishod, Fifly mon stood around the barn, who could hava renderea material aid, but uo water waa to be had. For fifteen or twonty min- utes the pipemen stood there polnting tho noz- xto at the tlamos, but vot & drop of water came, What was tho mmuter is not stated, but proba- bly for waut of stoam, ns tho Btcamers very lilkkoly hisdl lat thoir firos go out upon turning home from Unrtly’ match-faotory, TULE BPREAD, The flamos bogan to bo oo hot to bo bearablo, and tho pipomen bogan to withdeaw while the flames began to lick around the corner into the windows of tho upper story of 8chenich’s brick bluuknlnlnly oocupied bolow by Charley Curtis, and tho secoud story cccupled by the United Btatos Intornal Revenuo Collactor's offico, The violont wind fisttennd the flamos against the brick wall, sud sproad them out in oitbor dirac- tion uatil the 10ar ond of Hoilo's flower aud seod stors was on firo, and in & moment afterwerds 0. McCabo's grocory moxt door was also in fismos, By this timo the stoamers had got to work from the Church strest reservolr, bus with the poorest succoss. Two lives of hose were takon around n front of the burning buildings, in order to get moto to tha front of the fire, and, with tho m%ulnlt« amount of water, tho firo could havo been cheaked hore without the burn- ing of anather building. Water, wator, wator! gm:"tuli:: ary, but thero was littlo or no wator to ) Tho stroams that woro got to the front of the buildings woro mieagro and almost uscloss, while for & timo tho pipes were linndled very wildly, owiug to disndvautages under which tho firomen wore laboring. For s time it wan hoped to koep the firo to windward of Schenick's brick block and mske theso brick walls a barricade to its furtber prog- ress 3 but tho flamon had licked around the cor- nors iuto the frout and rear windows, and already the insido was on fire. It was with tho nimost difficulty that the books and stamips in tho Col- Jector's offico were saved, all thio papers, blanks, and othor documents in tho office being cone sumed. Thoe low frame structures on the oppo- nite sido of the streot bogan to blister and to ig- nito from the sovere hoat and caught several times, but wora kapt wot down by ono of the atrenms. McCabe's Building had not more thon got fairly burning before Wubster's Block on tho uorth sido of Ohurch streot was discoversd to ho in flames. 1t was impossibloto draw any stream away from tho Hro then raging south of Church stroet, and this block™ was compara- tvoly. loft alone in its burniog glory. About thin timo tho flames leaped aoross tho strcet from MoCabe's in spito of the firemen, and the onst side of DMain strect was now on fire, Iv was evidoat to the thou- sands of spectutors who stood along down Main Btroet that overythiug must go_to tho cerner, taking Reod's brick block, Rudd & Holden's benutiful new editico on the corner of Mam and Chureh strects, and probably the new Wag. nor Opera-House, and _ $he ongine-house next to it. And sll too qmickly were thoir worst fears consammoted, for the destruotion of Webster's Blook gave oat a heat that the engine-house op- Eosi!o could not withstand, and flually tho lofty oso-tower bogan to smoke and burst outin flames until tho entire beautiful structure was in magy of hoking flames, The fire in the moan- time was prossing hard towards Church strest from the sonth, loaving the enginos at the res- ervoirs botweon two of the hottout fires imagina- ble. Finally the wator in the Church streot res- orvoir gave out, snd with it drifted tho hopes for tho saivation of the Fourth Ward, Doforo the engines and hoso could bogot ouc over 500 fost of hose was burnt up, materially lessoning the fncilitlea for reaching tho flames from any moro distant reservoir. FIGUTING IT OX THE EABT. The stoamors wero thon taken to tho Morzith atrest reservoir, near Mr. Doe's residence, and used to chock tho flames that wore eating east- ward along Morritt Strest ou bot sides of tho streot aud working soathward very rapidly, The stoamors hioro kept the fire 10 check slong Jef- forson avenne and saved tho residenca of Mrs, ‘Androws, the kitchon wing only being burnt. “Tho rosidence of J. J. Bprague, nortl of Mra. Audrews, the house owned by Mr, O'Rourke vext to that, aud the First Baptist Church on the corner of lerrits were all dostroved, An- othar stream succeeded in koopiug the flames to the wost of Jefferson avenue morth of Mer- ritt seroet as far north as the residence of Judge Washburne, which i3 tho last home standing an thnt sireet. Sweoping around Mr. Washburu's rosidonce, tho flames rushed uncontrolled to enst ond morthward, and only pri- vato energics and tho unaided lnbor of residents in that directlon mnst give tho boundarios of tho conflagration, The fira reached Mt. Vornon straot nltor passing Judgo Washiburn's residence without opposition, On Mt. Vernon sireet it wae kept by hard labor to i wost side of tho utroot until it reached Polls ; thara it shot across blocks to eastward, running in o northensterly direction until lost in tho prairle far boyond tho railrond track. The line of the burnt district on the cast runs juat wost of Judgo Gary's residonco, his houso beiug juat eavod and that ia all. Two or throe houses that vieinity stnndjont in the burut district unin- jured amid the goneral ruin, which seems por- Teotly mirnoutous.

Lrom Webster's Blook and_Lho frawmo _Luildings nerth of it, the fito worked undisputed back to Divis~ ion straet, taking Natban Roso's new flour aad foed store on Church street aud the rosidonces on the west of it Lo Division straot. Tho large rosidonco of Peter MaCourt, on Division strout, north of Church, foll an easy proy to the de- vouting clemont, a8 did every house betweon Churoh sud Irving streots sud ‘botweon Division and Main, saved lator by tho arrivalof the Ripon flre-oxtinjzuishor. Tortunatoly for the Firast Ward, tho hoavy growth of trees and shrubbery on Division wtreot proveuted tho crossing of” tho fire to tho west side of it, aud this stroot marks tho wost boundary-line of the immonse black spoc of bissted wealth, and ruin, and devasiation, After the burning of Rudd & Holdon's new building, tho firs worked back into their temporary ahop and west still to the residence of Mrs, Watts, on the corner af Division aud Light streots, Mra, Tirown's residence nexe to it on the sonth also burned, ; WONKING BAOK O MAIN.

Mayor Jones, osloulating thu timo it wonld tako to got holp, and seolng the importance to tlio ontiro businoss portion of the city that the Lookwith Iouse should not oatob, tolographed to Fond du Lac and Noenah for hoso and help. 1o tho moantime overything posaiblo was dons to arrest tho progross of the firo towards tho Bockwith Houso, To be sute tho liro was worl-y ing but slowly, sa It was dead ogainst the wind, but this fortunate ciroumstance was all that saved us, for it gave time for tho arrival of the Fon'l du Lao dopartmont. Whtilo walting for it to arrivo attompis woro made to tear down buildings, and thus try and choclk the backward oreoping of tho flamos, but all tono purpose, Houth of Moote's marble was T\hu o gap, aud it wan hoped that by toarln down this building tho flamos could bo ‘cheoked, T'his dld not suosoed, and the firo still kopt on its slow but cortain way. Another low woodon builiding, noxt to Cottrill'a Block, waa slso torn down, but thls proved unuccossary, as by thus timo tho FOND DU LAG FIREMEN ARTIVED with a atoamer and & quantity of bosa, Itisto this prompt arrival of the Fond du Lo boys that wo owo tho saving of tho Beclwith House, and hosidos that nobody knows what. The hoss was quiokiy laid up Main street from the High streot 1esorvolr, and a utream got on in front, while a hoto was run from the ateamer V.

All these throo niroama succoeded, and tho fira was pre- vouted from reaching Algoma strost in tho roar, althongh Williams' houss was pretty much do- stroved, and also provented from roaching the Bookwith Houee to the front. On tho east aide of Mam streot, the firo whirled baok through Litue's livery-stablo nand Wostbrook's T-acm;y storo, taking Tyrroll's glove factory and Pittles grocory. 'I'hevacant lots betweon Pittle's store and Harding Opera-House saved the lattor, and tho viciory was won ; the further sproad of tho fire to soathward had baon stoppod. JUBBAK FOR RIFON. Avout 6 o'clock, sall unexpectod, n telogram was rooolved that Ripon iad hoord tho news and bind sont their Ohamplon fire-oxtinguishor over horo by special train, A tesm was nt the depob to meet it and the orew thal oame with it, and it was drivon up Main stroot amid the welooming shouts of the firomen and cltizons. At the cor- ner of Algoms strect it stopped. and three loud aud hearty cheers wont up from the sssembled muititude for Ripon, And well thoy might choer, and woll did the noble Ripon hofl duservo chesring. They wore not neoded ab shus ond of the fire, as the threo stroama nbova alluded to_were holding that in chack most effootively. They ware assigned a positioa, thorefore, on tho west sido of Maw stroot, near Irving. THE CIXOR AT INVING STREET, The fire by thia time had roachod within thres houses of Irving atraet, on tho weat sido of Main, although about a blook omst of Maiu it was strotclung far to northward. The Ripon extin- guisbing brigado drove up beside this house, and, notwithstanding that it was wholly enveloped in flames, in ten minutes put out avery spark. They worked like magio, and fought the firo with s systom and offoctiveness whicl was truly mar- velous ; wherovor tho stroam struck tho fire, the fire was pat out offectivoly. This littlo ‘maching thus in ton minutes saved ton timos its cost, and checkod tho flames west side of Main stroat, which otherwise wonld have gone oloar to Irving atroot, and crossed over and gone beyond. Havivg refill- ed their machino they performed alikesorvicoon a wood-pilo boside » Louso on Audubon street, onat of;Main, thus saving & house, whioh, had it onught” would have sproad the flamos into that . thickly-settiod block on the northeast cocner of Mun and Irving streots, which the flames had boon mudo to go around by the nvlnr of tho first houee by the Ripon brigade. This put out of dauger, tho only further spread of the firo to wostward, and kept the flames confined within tho boundarios which it then ocaupied. Not too much can_bo said for this_gallant Ripou band who fought like tigers. Lqualiyto be honored wore the other compauies, who got hiere just in the nick of time to savoe tho fire from unruflluE acroes Algoma street to tho south, and Oshkos! will ever remembar the nobls deeds of their Fire dopartmonts and their proffored sucoor in the hour of hor neods, DEATI'S DOINGS, But mors sad nud sorrowful atill of all tho ead and sorrowful things that happenod upon this doy of blight and ruin and of wailing, was the talting from us of ono of unturo's truest no- blemen, Willism P, Taylor, who diod sa he had livad, working for others. During tho frightful time when the fire wassweeping ncross Main etroet: from McCabe's building, hio undertook to render nusistance to n enppled womon nawed Mrs. Brennan, a tailoross, Ho workoed too bard, had lifted too utmnglg and burst & blood-vessel, or at lenst that i the most probable cauass of hia death. He walked to the Adame Houke, whors o was put to bod. In a few momonts he fell to asping, and, almost before holp could be called, roathod his last, Mr. laylor was & native of Now Brunswick, whote his relatives at prosont reside. e was a single man, abont 80 yoars of sge, and Lias boen the most efliclent and popular City Troasurer Oshkosh bas evor had. TITE LOBY, It is impossible at this juncture to get at any authontic ostimate of tho loss, but 1t is variously oatinated at betweon eix hundred thousnnd and a million. About eight bundred thousand is thought by many to bo nearor correot. About 600 buildingd Liave boen destroyed, aud it can be safoly said that an averago of ono family to each houso bas been rendered homoloss, Estimating an avorago of fivo to each tami:f;, and it will foot up to 8,000 persons who have thus been turned outt of houso and homo. Probably the total number of souls rondered ‘homeless cannot fall much short of this eatimate, COUNTNY FINES, The house of Theodore Ponco, & furmer and milkuman living about 8 miles out, was burued by falling sparks snd cinders from the firo, * 2 Farmers for milos in the line of tho fire kept their promises from burning only with the ut- moat diffioulty. From the Oshkosh (Wia.) Northweetern, July 18, INCENDIARISM. Thera is little doubs that the fire was the work of incendiarios, and that the firo which ocauglt in Webstor's hlock, boyoud tho firdt starting ploco of the flames, wos tho work of an incondinry is firmly avowod by some, and the cntiro ovidence sud clreumataucss soew to poiut thot way. THIEVES AND PIORPOCKETS, The Influx of thioves, burglars, and pickpook- ots, 88 soon asthe nows of thefire reachoed thedif- foreut pavts of the State, was simply onormous, Tho strects wore litarally thronged with bull- facod rufinns sud slouchy-oyed thioves, whose vory nnqoumuun told too plainly tho nature of their calling. ‘The amount of pillage and plun- der that ocoured during the firo and the night &f- tor, and even continned throughout the noxt day, was astounding. THE BOUTI BIDE FIRE. . The alarm of fire was soundod on Wednesday morniug, caused by the discovery of tlames un- der tho old sgrioultural warchoueo at tho south end of Maiu stroet bridge, owned by Bosoh & Oonleo, ‘Lho excitomont sud approbension way 80 groat at that moment, and the puwbor of blackiors so large, thut the moment tho alarm was hoard Main stroot was in a commotion, and thousands of peoplo rushad towards tha hrldue. Mayor Jones, fearing that o panio might tuke place, ordored the bridge-tendor o opou the draw, in o1der to proveut thecrowd fromcrossiug tho bridge to the south side, Notwithsranding this precaution, mauy got over, and still n larger number gatberod from tho souch aido, and anong tho crawd was a log of thieves and piok- pockets, The fira was entirely confinud to the under portion of the buildlog, and was ousily put out While the crowd wera awaying baclk aud forth around tho building, howover, & lady eried out that hor pocket was pioked, and pointed to the man who did it. A policoman grabbed lun aud undertook to lead him away throngh the crowd. The orowd hiad tho subject of incendiarism on their miuds, and when the officer collared hla man thoy snpposed Le was the one who sob the fira under the warchouse, aud in a twiukle a scone ensued which almosted resulted in A 10T, A_ hundred maddensd throats yolled out “Lynch him,” * Shoot him," * Kill "him," while the crowd pressed towards tho prisoner fo get liold of him, Mavor Jonea leaped to tho police~ 1man's auslstanco, and succeeded in gottiug the prisoucr to tho toot of the long atairs which ; reachup to Justico Barau's ofloe, Ilere a con- fliot took placo which indoed wus & tug of war, The Mayor aud Kulloumnu had their prisoner in front of thom,while the Mayor, with all the volca aud strength whioch God b glvon bim, tried to koop the crowd back, Tho excitement reached tho height of a riot, and wnile the ofllcers wore pushing with maln strongth to get tholr prisonor up-siaira the orowd woro falrly crawling ovor thoir hands to got at tho prisonor. ‘Lo prisoner whs torror-strickon, aud indosd Iio might woll be, forliad that orowd got liold of Lim thoy would have torn him limb fromlimb, Finally tho ofMcorn qat thoir maninto tho Jus- tice's offioo and locked the door, while thio Mayor orderod tho atreania that wors thon plaving on thofiro to bo turnod on tho orowd, This was done, and such n scattoring was naver before witnossed.
