Nor do we think Mr Cleveland aod Mr. Mauniog are disgusted with him, He i« a wise »nd corefnl, as well us an able and successful man, and he wou'd not be likely to impenl his reputation and his influevce with the president and secrotary of the trea-ury by decieving them sbout aclerk.

Laid over. e e THE FIKE FIEND, CricAGo, March 2L—At § o'clock this morning fourteen fire engines ponrcd water into the Laogham hotel, which was o mass of flames from the basement to the garret. The fire originated in oue of the lower rooms, from a kerosene lamp, which was accidentally over- turned At the time the restaurant of the house contained 100 guests at supper and as [ ¢ many more were in their rooms, The paople in the restaurant had no trouble in ge:ting out, but several persons in tha wpper room had a very narrow escape, 'The flames spread with marvelous rapidity and byfore the second alarm was turned in the flames were bursting through the roof. A general alarm was given half an hour after the fire broke out, but all the engines wh ch could ba brought to play on the flames could not got the fire under control, Mrs, Belknap, an elderly Iady, was killad by jumping from the fourth rtory into the alley. Subsequently the cry was raired that the walls were falling, and that Bu'lwinkle's fire p .trolmen were inside the buildiog, A portion of the south wall was seen to totter and then it came down with a crash. Two members of the fira ineucance patrol b rely escap-d the tumbling bricks and tim- bers, Two others were pinned fast, but af! Tong and strenuous effrts were finally extri cated. The legs of both were weverdly bruised, Patrolman A, Jones and John Walsh are belisved to have been suffocated beneath the wall, No trace of them has been found up to & late hour Policeman Marks saw two domestics at one of the recond-story windows aft-r it was supposed all the inmutes had been reecued. He rushed up the burning staircase, and & few minuces later appoared deag@ing out both wrmen who had been rendertd unconscious by smoke. The hotel is a total loss. [¢ was erected immedjately after the great fire and while substantial looking outsids has beca called a fire trap. It wus formerly knowr as the Burdick house and then as the Crawford and recently as the Langham. Cummings & Howard are the owners, and Shaw & Son leased the establish- ment, The lutter’s loss is £ 0,000, insurauce $12,000. The building was valued at 3L50,- 000, i+ sured for half. Kietz & Son, picture frames, and Harden's band grenae agency suffer a total loss, insurance uaknown, The escape of Mrs, J- A, Murray wae marvellous, The lady occupied & room on the fiteh tloor, and was unawsre of her dan ger until too late to attempt to descond the stairways. She reached the fire escape, but at each fl jor found the hole in the grating too small to admut of the passage of hercelf and infant, and was therefore compolled four tunes, with the flames bursting around her, to seat the child upon the platform, lower ber self over tho cdges and reach up for the little ome. Mrs. Murray reached the grouud without assistance, and a quarter of an hour afterward had wholly 1ecovered from the effects of the terrible expsrience. The firemen never ceased their efforts to res- cue the two missing patrolmen, and about three h urs after the wall fell the pair were found in the bavement of the building next to the hotel buried under the broken flooring and fragmeuts of masonry, They were tuken out elive and it is thought will eventually re- cover from their ipjuries.

It begins as follows: ““Mr, Van Wyck, of Nebraska, is tha terror of the sen- ate. He has a keen nose for jobs of all kinds anda wholesome hatred for humbug and cant. Moreover he has a disagreeable habit of speaking his mind on all occusions, re- gerdless of who is hurt There 1s not & man in the whole senate who holds in euch light esteem that intangible but all-potent quanti known a3 “courtesy of the senate.” Having 1a1d ons his friend Teller with a considerable degree of flatn this dreadful Mr. Van Wyck now turna hisgaze and opens fire on government “‘picknickers” a8 he calls them, T’nuplrhulh in sndout of the renate who wander about the country ingalace cars and pretend to ba inspecting investigating something or other, but who/xeally are enjoy- ivg plensure excursions ot the: expensc of the pesple.” It closes as follows: “For expos- iog the humbug and revealing the cost of thoke excursions, Senator Van Wyck is en- entitled 10 the thanks of the people, Until he revealed it, nobody knew how much money was wasted iu providing pleasure excursions for senatrs and their friends.

He had no good ciothes to be marrled In, and no money to pay the minister or hirs a hack. The heiress waited until her guardian came around, and then invested in a dress suit for her intended. She hired the hack and went with Sorakical to the church of the Holy Communlon, where tho Rey. H. Chamberlin tled thie knot. Andy Kelly was best man, TROUBLE BEGIN Mrs. Sorakichi began to have trouble two weoks after the marringe. The wrestler grew susplcious and jeslous of his bride. “He trled to kill me several times, enid the wife, “and jsbbed a knife at my throat. All the time I was supporting tim and giving receptlons to feisnds of his, who desplsed me and treated me like adog. I stood it all until yesterday, when he ordered me up stalrs from the parlor.

I made Matsada believe that I would get out a warrant for the tricky old man if he would come here. That was the only way to do it.” MATSADA DENIES EVERYTHING, Whea Mrs. Sorakicht ceased speaking she was nearly exhausted. She is s large woman, much taller than her pow- erful husband, but not much better looking. Her husband was dumbfounded when he was told he was a prisoner and ho knew what his wife had sald about him, His own supply of English wss not equal to the demand of his feelings, and he sent for Mr H.

ASyrian8ilversmita’s Skill in Filigre Work, Philadelphia Prees. In a little attic room in west Phi'adel- phia lives a diminutive native of Syria, Jacob Hallsj by name, wh> endeavors to obtain his very scanty living by manu- facturing all sorts of beautiful jewelry, both of ancient and modern Syrian de- oign. He is a natlve of Berat Syrla. His only langusges are Arablo, Turkish aud a little French, and his private his- tory is most remarkable 1n one corner of the little room stands his work-bench; in another his boxes filled with curlous trossures brought from the far east, in which he spreads his bed at night; in another his little forge and his apparatus for drawing out the silvor and gold wire, all made by himsslf, and of neat and accurats workmanehip, As the reporter entered the little Arab was foand sitting at his bench engaged upon some silver filigree scarf-pius of the most dsinty desoription. The only marks of the orient in his dre:s were the lttie skull-cap and the Tarkish slippers. His English vocabulary was found to be very limited, but with what he knew and a smattering of French pos:c:sed by the reporter, the varlous appurienances of the appartments were explained snd understood. Thesilver he obtained pure, and melting it wp in his funpy Syrlan furnace, made by himeelf, with the right smiount of copper he obtaina an alloy of the proper proportion. Thus, for a scarf- pin, the pin proper is made of a low grade of alloy, in order to give the requi- site stiffness, while the oruamental part is made of silver 1,000 fine. This silver he draws throngh a steel plate in which are cut holes of constantly decressing dlameter. By drawing the silver through these holes in succession a wire s cbtained finslly as small as & thread. OF this he makes tho filigree by bending and twisting and filling and eol- dcring the wire into all maoner of fantas- tlc and delicate shapes, such as the Tor- kish coat of arms, the crescent and star, Arabic charact:rs, and a hundred other forms.
