Bhipherd furnishes the following for publication: To THE PusLic:—Five dollars re- ward, and positively no awkward qguestions asked anybody, will be paid for the return to the undersigned of one James G. Blaine, who has been missing in these parts since my arrival here on or nhnut%{ondny evening the 10th. Twice the amount of this re- ward will be paid for the publication |® of this advertisement in The New York Tribune. Wheri last seen Blaine was making across the country s. sw., at an approximate rate of 16§ miles per hour, said to be the best time ever made by a non-professional. The finder on returning him will be al- lowed to take him away again as soon as Blaine's clothes have been starched, as no one known to the undersigned has any further use for him. Biaine ran away, as it now appears, carrying off one of the standing committees of congress concealed somewhere about his capacious pockets and somewhat thinly disguised, it is said, as white mice nestling under his new and ‘handsome-fiitting Prince Albert coat. For photographs aud minute descrip- tion of this coat and intellectual paloe of Blaine's large and effective counte- nance, application may be filed at my office. The New York Tribune, in- tending to find Mr. Bleine and his eommittee, may communicate with the bereaved clerk of the committee, with which official I will myself deposit the promised reward in ocase the house of representatives should riafule the necessary appropriation, ss I am advised they lrir, oE; the ground that it can replace the last committee with a better one for a great deal less money. I don’t propose any issue with the house on this or any other occasion, but I have been living with the committee for three months past and Ilike it and want it back, I am not going to be mean about the reward, which will posi. tively be paid without rebate on delivery of the advertised pro- perty. The Peruvian company having discovered that the committee which has 8o suddenly disappeared, has been all the while a part of the pri- vate managerie of Blaine, has for- bidden me to offer more than the sum named for its return, and begs to give notice hereby, that it will resume business at the old stand and will not hereafter confide business secrets to any committee of congress. In this reeolution it relies upon the support of every sister corporation in the country. In answer to requests already re ceived from nearly every state in the union, I am considering the expedi- ency of continuing the narrative sud- denly interrupted by the flicht of Mr, Blaine and his committee in some other place than the now deserted commitee room. The necessary data is all ready, and if the public wants facts and documents, I am rather in- clined not to refuse. (8igned), Jacos R. SHIPHERK, ‘WABHINGTON, May 20, 1882, CAPITAL NOTES.

National Associnted Press, LIVELY TIMES THR COMING WEBK. ‘WasniNaToN, May 21.—It is ex- pected that the dead lock in the house will take nearly all week. Each party is rather anxious for a fight, as it isa consideration necessary to ‘‘letter up” voters throughout the country in anticipation of congressional elections, and each side belioves it will make a good peint for itself in the fight, be the result whatever it may. In the votes on Saturday most of the green- backers and Mahona mea voted with the republicans. With all the republi- oans and those voting with them in their seats they would have ten more than a quorum and be able to go on with business, even though the democrats retused to vote. To get tull attendance, or one sufticiently near that to make uorum of republicans will be very difficult, Usually there are from thirty to fifty members absent, some by permission and some without leave, Recently the republieans have been trying to keep their members here and to get those back who had been ab- sent, and the faot that 119 answered to their names on Saturday shows they have been very wuccesstul. Of the thirty-six absent not ono-half had “leave,” many having left the city without asking permission. Calkins, chairman of the election committee, was on Friday and Baturday industri- ously telegraphing absentees to return. Some of them came in this morning, and others are expected to-morrow.. Itis proba- ble, however, that a quorum will ar- rive before the last half of the week. Even if the gqnorum should arrive, it is probable that one or more of the members would be too ill to attend, as is ulmost always the case. It is likely, however, the Pacific eise may be heard by Thursday. ‘This done, the democrats will fight it at every step, and it is believed by many the case now in hand will not be out of the wav before June first. Thers will be two or three more c4se ready when this is out of the way, and several others are awaiting action of the committee. CONGRESS National Associated Press, HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. WasHiNeToN, D.

Insurance principally in foreign companies. ‘When the fire broke out there was the most fearful panio that has ever occurred in Leadville. Mr. Kendrick, the propriewor of the Windsor, was among the first to be aroused, and as soon as he realized the awful position in whick his property had been placed he lost no time to c{o all in his power to save the guests of the houte. He rushed frantically from hall to hall, knocking in the doors and shouting, ‘‘Fire!” giving all a chance to escape. Men and women rathed from the rooms, and as soon as they got out met others terrified at the ition in which they were placed. The Hotel Windsor was one of the oldest hoatel- ries in the city, and was constructed in the flimsy manver that formerly was 80 prevalent in this camp. The walls- were but poor partitions of green lumber, over which canvas was stretched, and afforded no protection except from sight. FRANTIC MEN AND WOMEN met in the hall, and were almost para- lyzed by smoke and flames. They groped about in every direction until they found some means of exit, and then lost no time in mecomplishing their escaps, no matter how perilous. Representatives of both sexes were seen coming from the hotel door but thinly clad, bearing their valuables and clothing in hand in order to get out alive. Othors, less fortunate in knowledge of the intricacies of the hall, dashed for windows and t! rew themselves out. Hardly a man or woman thus left the house who to-day is not suffering from injuries — bruises, burns or sprains. Some of the more timid managed to reach the front, where fire ladders were thrown up for their escape. Style, method or ap- pearance was not thought of. Men rolled down sidewise, headlong and feet first. There were the following PERSONS IN THE HOTKL at the time, as indicated by the regis- ter, which was fortunately saved by & Philadelphia fireman: Daniel Powell; P.

As soon as the embers cooled suf- ficently to enable the work to be car- ried on search was begun for the bodies of the victims. The first digs covery was made by Jack Horner and Jack Brogan, two moembers of the Harnson hooks, who were working about the same spot. They suddenly came on the formn of a human being, with face turned down. Sheels were brought and the charred remains of the unfortunate were carried by the fireman to the morgue., It was dis- covered there that all trace of identity had been lost, for all that remained of the head wnd face were s fow brains. SEARCHING FOR THE DEAD, The flcomen returned to the ground and continued their disagreeable duties. They delved the whole morn- ing in the debris and patiently sub- mitted to the terrible odors arisin from the burned and wet material, that gave forth the most frightful stenches at times, At noon the fire boys were called off, and the city placed on duty the chain gang who worked till dark, turning the debris upside down, This doleful work was witnessed by several thousand who visited the scene during the day. ARTHUR BALLOU, In the condition in which the un fortunate victim was found it is al most 1mpossible to discover his ident~ ity, but circumstances point to the fact that the charred and unrecogniza- ble remains are all that is left of Mr, Arthur Billou. The gentlemen in whose company Ballou had been Thursday uight state that he was per- feotly sober when he retired, and they had " not been able to induce him to take a glass of beer for weeks. The facts point to but one iden; it was while endeavring to as- sist & weak womsn from a perilows ou that Arthur Ballou gave wp Hudge plants 760. per thousand wholesale or retail, T, t .
