A CHARGE DENIED.
John Mulroonoy a Statement of
Denial.
The New» this morning contains an item
charging John Mulrooney with inhuman
treatment in endeavoring to forcibly remove
William Morris, aged 86, and his wife, aged
82, from the old frame house on the West
side of Tatnall street above Fifth, for non
payment of rent. Mulrooney denies all the
charges as unqualifiedly ialse and furnishes
the following statement for publication :
" In the first place, each and every one
of the three tenants occupying the house
was notified according to law, a plain lact
which neither can deny, and which some
at least are truthful enough not to attempt
to deny. Again, Bishop Becker had
nothing whatsoever to say in the matter,
and I sorely regret that his name should be
mixed np with the falsehood. Again, I did
not want to increase the rent; I want no
rent from hlm; I watt possession of the
house and I condsider that I have taken
no inhuman
When I mildly requested him to leave
on last Monday morning, he told me 'not
a damn foot' and that I could not compel
him to leave. Then I sent a constable
him to induce him to leave quietly
and take his furniture aud rent (as 1
wanted no rent) and he told the constable
if he gave him $2 and a pint of whisky
he would leave, and when the constable
volunteered to give it, Mr. Morrison
kindly said he wanted $30. I would have
deposed him on March 25, as he repeatedly
told me, as did also his wife, who has a son
in Philadelphia waitiug with outstretched
arms to receive them, but the weather being
unfavorable at that time, I allowed him to
stay on until the weather grew milder."

was learned that Harry Sissen and two boys
named Foil
George was accordingly discharged, while
Harry, aged about 9 years, was fined $1 aud
costs. When his father, who was present
at the trial, heard the sentence passed, said:
"Well, be may go to New Castle," and left
the little fellow sitting alone lu the corner of
the court room. Shortly after Harry went
down to the lower room and finding that bis
tarants had really gone, began to cry as if

Council dclegatiou arrived here at noon,
to-day, and i
given a hearing he fore the House Committee
Municipal Corporations. Somehow or
other, the Wilmington statesmen, when they
came to "face the music," found but
little In the Legislative amendments to
object to, except the one establishing a
municipal court, and even this they were
willing to approve if its effective operation
was withheld until the end of Mayor Wales'
term of office. They simply objected to
clipping the present Mayor's wings. "Only
this and nothing more.''
Another little hitch occurred over the
provisions extending the terms of the
Auditor and Solicitor so that their succes
sors will be chosen by the Council elected
Id June, 1884, and not by the Council
elected next June. The majority members
of Council, however, found themselves
unable to show why the term of these of
ficials should not be made to commence
with the new administration. In regard to
overruling the City Solicitor's decision the
committee agreed to allow C ouncil to do

Heitor Turner spoke on this question and
emphatically protested against giving Coun

ment prescribing the physical qualifications

The ensuing discussion disclosed no rad
ical opposition on the part of Council to any
of the amendments, except the one defining
a property qualification for membership iu
the City Council, which the committee
agreed to abolish altogether.
Before the conference ended City Solicitor
Turner took occasion to state that he had
consistently urged the passage of the charter
as approved by the City Council, and that
he had nothing whatever to do with the
Legislative amendment,
and Representative Cooch endorsed Mr.
Turner's statement.

Hamilton, Ont., April 10.—The decision

TRYING TO BURN A TOWN
WORK OF INCENDIARIES ON
MONDAY.
TWO BLACK MEN ÜNDEB ABBEST
Westminster, Md., Passes Through a
Scorching Siege—Heavy Loss of Prop
erty.
Westminister, Md., April 10.—This city
was the scetie of a terrible conflagration last
night, which for a time threatened the
destruction of all the property in the place.
Twenty buildings were burned to the
ground, including the Lutheran Church,
the finest edifice in the city. It is generally
believed that the fire was the work of incen
diaries. Early yesterday morning an at
tempt was made to set the Montour Hotel
on fire, a pile of kindling wood aud paper
being found burning under the
way, which, but for the timely discovery,
would have, by setting fire to the stairway,
cut off one of the principal means of egress
and endangered many lives,
was full of guests at the time.
Allan Toop and Joauua Green, both
colored, were arrested on suspicion, and the
first fire was extinguished with but trifling
damage. Near midnight, however, fire
broke out again in H. Thompson's livery
stable, and spread with great rapility.
Robert Thompson and Aaron Schaefer, who
were asleep iu the hayloft, perished in the
flames, and only a few blackened pieces of
their bodies were scraped up from the ruins
to-day. The stable being situated on the
principal business street, stores and resi
dences one after another caught the tlaze,
and in half an hour an entire block of build
ings were in flames.
There were a couple of small chemical en
gines in the place, but they were of little
use in such a conflagration, and the- only
water obtainable was from pumps an«i wells
aud a small pond on the outskirts of the
town. The citizens became fairly panic
stricken, women in their night, clothes with
children in their j
stair-*
the house
rushed fruntirai i> out
of their houses,and persons residing sijuart'S
ray from the burning district threw Un ir
furniture out into the streets. So rapidly
did 'Tie fire spread that few persous, whose
houses were destroyed, were able to save
much ot their lundi ure or clothing, a »d
many of the merchants lost their en lire
stoi ks of goods.
The lire reached the limits of the towu
aud spent its fury when th«ire w«»b no more
material to feed it. Il was prevented fr
spreading in other directions by the tearing
down of several frame buildings aud a
furious rain storm, which began about 2
o'clock this morning and lasted several
hours. Two little children were rescued
from one of the burning dwellings by a
youug woman. The roof of the bouse whb *
on fire, aud the mother, an invalid, was
alone in the hous£ with her little ones. 8he
fainted from fright aud was borne out in
safety. Her children ior the time being
were forgotten until a neighbor, remember
ing them, hastened up stairs and groped
her way about iu the blinding smoke until
she fouud the children, who were nearly
suffocated, and escaped with them. Iu less
than an hour afterward the building was
burned to the ground.
The total loss on buildings is estimated at '
$150,000, about one-half covered by insur
ance. The los6 on the goods in stores, cloth
ing and furniture iu dwellings is roughly
placed at $60.000. Several poor families
are rendered homeless.
The proprietor ol the livery stable has
made a statement to the State's Attorney
that about 10 o'clock last night four men,at
times employed about the stable, asked him
for a lantern. He refused their request, but
later on saw them cc.;ds t.- ♦■he light
of a lantern In the back part of the ... He.
A short time afterwards he heard cri«*s of
fire, and saw the rear of the building iu
flames. Robert Goodwin, John Clark, Han
son Dorsey and Charles Warfield, the men
who were jn the stable, have been arrested,
peudiug the result of the Oorouer's investi
gation. Thirty horses and two cows that
were in the stable were burned to death,
several of the animals, with their manes
and tails on tire, escaped from the
stable and dashed madly through the
crowd on the street, injuring
three or four persons. The principal
stores and dwellings burned are those of
Jacob Thompson, livery stable; Bixter &
Senef, boot aud shoe dealers; Guselinan <fc
Morris, furniture dealers; Mary Leister,
dwelling house; P. K. Herr & Bro., carriage
factory; M. C. Strasburger, liquor store; A.
J. Malchorn, millinery establishment;
Thomas Erb, provision store; J. Zacharias
and Mrs. Babylon, residences. Nearly all
the policies of insurance are in Maryland,
New York and English companies.
Westminster is the capital of Carroll
county, and is on the Western Maryland
railroad, 36 miles northwest of Baltimore.
It contains eight churches, three national
banks, a saviugs bank, two newspaper
offices and the Western Maryland College of
the Methodist Protestant denomination. The
town has mauuiactories of stationery and
portable engines, agricultural Implements
and cigars. The population is 2,210.
Owing to open threats of lynching the jail
is guarded to-night by 22 men who are well
armed. Quiet and ordei prevail at present,
but there is a deep feeling of indignation
against the men who caused such destruc
tion of property and loss of life.
