IHR TWO GREAT F1RK3.
A Man Loses His Life In tbe Allegheny Con
flagration.
PiTTBBURG, Nov. 11.—The two great fires
In this vicinity last night and thla morning
were attended by many exciting Incidents.
All tbe occupants of tbe 16 dwellings ad
joining Callerv A Co.'s tannery bad narrow
escapes from death, and lost tbe greater por
tion of their personal effects.
One man, Gustav Leldbart, fell from, a
wall and sustained Injuries from which be
died before daybreak. The heat was so In
tense and the space surrounding the build
ings so contracted, that the firemen were
compelled to work behind shields. Groet
zlnger's tannery and the establishment of
the Standard Manufacturing Company were
ou fire several times, but were not badly
damaged.
Mr. Dawson Callery said to-night that a
closo estimate of their loss could not be
made until the condition of the vats Is as
certained. If they are destroyed the loss
will not be less than $125,000. If they aro
not damaged $85,000 will cover everything.
The firm bolds that amount of Insurance.
Their theory of the fire is that the dust that
gathered on the rafters was Ignited by tbe
heat from the stcam-plpe and set fire to the
roof.
The loss from the 8tock Yard fire has run
down to $25,000. Tbls fire caused more ex
' cltement than the first, and until It was cer
tain that the flames were under control. Mr.
« llerton, the superintendent of tbe yards,
claims that the fire was the work of an lu
cendiary. Tbe general opinion, however, is
that tbe hay was ignited by sparks from
K saing engines, or that some person care
■sly threw a lighted cigar in tne hay scat
tered about tbe door.

COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED.
A Noted Forger and Two of His Assist
ants Captured by Detectives
New York, Nov. 11.— William E. Brock
way, I he noted forger and counterfeiter,
with two of hla associates, Nathaniel D;
Foster and Lewis Martin, wero arrested to
day by Inspector Byrnea' detectives, on the
charge of counterfeiting bonds of the Morris
and Essex division of tho Delaware and
Lackawanna Railway Company, and of
the Central Pacific Railway Company, worth
$54,000.
A trifle over two mouths ago Inspector
Byrnes had hla attention called to 'Omt sin
gul&r actions at No. 231 Loxtngton avenue,
a boarding house where Brockway and
and Foster were Uvtng, and at the 8t, James
Hotel, where Martin was living. A num
ber of detectives were put on the case, and
they anon dlscoved that something crooked
was going on. In Martin's room waa found
a number of 'conterfelt 7 per cent. Con
struction bonds of the Morris and Essex
Railroad, bearing the signature of President
Samuel Sloan and Treasurer Carry 1, a lot of
counterfeiters' materials and a bundle
unsigned counterfeit Central Pacific bonds.
On Brockway's person there wm a good
bond, from which the counterfeits were
made.
It Is believed Martin has negotiated some
of the apurioua bonds In Wall street,
haa been living In sumptuous style at the
St. James, and associating with sporting

natural, and highly pleasiog to all who wit

worth every time. Byron plays the hero to
perfection and gains rounds of applause
from every side. He alyfaya plays to large

k moat exciting scene with his wife, he starts
bv train, taking a ticket for a distant place,
but jumps out of the carriage, when about
30 miles on the road, to elude the police
officers, who have telegraphed to have him
arrested at Rugby. Eventually he reaches
Nevada, makes a lucky hit by discovering a
rich silver mine, and returns, after an ab
sence of three years, to find his wife
and children starving. He Is soon
euabled to clear himself of tho murder by
the discovery that The Spider committed
the deed, and he Is once more happy with
hla wife and children, and rolling lu riches.
Such is a brief and scant outline of the plot,
which Is filled up with many Interesting Inci

NO COMBINATION MARIS.
" How did the Impression get out that
th**re waa a combination between you and
Mr. Cox ?"
"It must have occurred In tbls way: I
was in New York last summer with my
wife, and acce ted an invitation from Mr.
Cox and bis wife to come down to Manhat
tan Beach. A reporter of a Brooklyn
paper, seeing us there together concluded
from our having social relations that we
must have political one*. He printed a

When he was in New York last summer be

about It, aud when be returned be told me
that It was true that Mr. Tilden was in favor
of Mr. Randall."
"What arc the issues In this fight!"
"It seems to me that there was one lßsue
and that Is whether the Democratic party
■hall go forward or backward. I would call
Randall's election a step backward. A pro
per reform of the tariff Is absolutely neces
sary. It is a question that cannot be shirked
or avoided. The West has sent to the
House Its present Democratic majority, and
it Is in favor of .a wise modification of the
tariff.
"I am a conservative man and would do
nothing rash, but with the great surplus
revenue that we have now sometbirg must
be done. In the last Congress the Tariff
Commission bill, which was considered at
the time a practical avoidance of tbe whole
question, was passed. It was passed as a
Republican measure, only 15 Democrats
voting for It—McPherson In the 8enate and
Randall and 13 others in the House. To
elect Ran tall, therefore, wo ( d seem to me
practically turning the Democratic party
upside down by putting a very small major
ity as the head.
"I understand that Mr. Ran«1all and his
friends favor the abolishment of the Internal
revenue taxes as a means of cutting down
our surplus revenue. I believe it would be
well to take off the taxes from our hats,
clothes, shoes and the common necessaries
of life before abolishing the tax on whiskey
and tobacco. Perhaps the whiskey tax
could be reduced to 50 cents, but lhat would
not, in all probability, reduce the revenue
from it.
WHAT CAN BB DONE.
"Perhaps this House of Representatives
may not be able to do anything in the way
of leglsla'lon, but that is
Democratic party should not take a stand in
accordance with Its traditionary principles.
The Republican party Is committed to
maintain the tariff as it
"Mr. Randall's pe«ition la that the tariff
legislation of last winter was practically
final, for you can never find a time wheu
the protection people will admit that It la

When business is good U must not be done
for fear of injuring business; w. en business
Is depressed you must do nothing lor fear of
preventing a reaction."

The Virginia Legislature.
Staunton, Va., Nov. 10.— Trustworthy
intelligence from Woodstock, Shenandoah
county, is to the effect that Spengler, Demo
crat, will, on account of alleged
frauds, contest the seat of Grand
staff, Readjuater, to the House of
Delegates. The board of canvassers
of Rockingham to-day gave certificates of
election to Webb, Readjuster, for the Sen
ate, and Herring, Readjuater, and Soule,
Democrat, for the House. This makes 04
Democrats In the House, 33 Coalitionists
and three uncertain. Some Mahonltes,
who have Just return* d from South
western counties, where they went to
vote, express it aa tbelr opinion that
some of the members of the Legislature
elected by their
tlon will ©ct
ent of the coalition
they get to the Legislature. There will be
several contested oases lu bo*h houses. In
most of these cases coalitionists are elected
by insignificant majorities, which it can be
established in some instances were secured
by fraud. It ta highly probable that the
Democrats will have two-tblrda In both
houses when these cue# are settled.
