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. as lic COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED.

The auditor gets his money's worth every time. Byron plays the hero to perfection and gains rounds of applause from every side. He alyfaya plays to large houses."

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.

Mr. Watter "I heard last spin going to favor Mr. son, one of my friends, did not believe It. When he was in New York last summer be went out to Greystono to ask Mr. Tilden 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 proper for the agitation of tariff reform. 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." reason why the is. 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. in that *ec ectly lndepend caucue, when £3 IN MEMORY OF LUTHER. celebrating the REFORMER'S BIRTH GREAT 8EBVI0ES ALL 0VEB THE W0BLD The Uletorleal FroeeMlon at Eialeben Servi Held In U'watmluater Abbay -I« Bow York land Other cities.
