THK ALARM IN TH,': SENATE.
During the morning session of th.- Senate

little heed was given to ir. Shortly lievre- i
i,'.-lurk, sa thc President of the Senate was <-;>.ll
ir.tr that body ?'. ..ni.!, a puff of smoke made
ii j way to the. chamber. Some excitement fol?
lowed, but, as the Capitol bas frequently been
Visited by sliu*!it tlr."* sin'- its erect! n, an<I us
the building's employes had never had any
ti uble in putting them out, ll was thought that
the smoke could be tr., -ed to Ita a turee and the
:.. extinguish -i withs bucket or two of water,
Chief Clerk Smiley Improvised s hasty bucket
brigs ie made ni> of Benate attaches snd Bens

anel a minimi of Ham- shot out. Th- -ff iris
of the- bucket brigade vv.-r- useless, as thc ilry
and rotten timbers composing the rafters and
Joists of th- building burned Ilks cnn cotton,
snd the fir-' ste its wsy downward snd through
the celling Into thi Senate chamber. Then some
one bethought himself of calilncr thc city Fir.-.
Department, but in the excitement a l">x was
struck which 'H-i not summon the Bremen to
the Capitol. This further delay gave sn np
portunlty for the fire t" spread.
\Vh n lt seemed that the building was in seri?
ous danger, the Benate attaches turned thrir
attention to saving the Benate snd Btate rec?
ords and ths handeom ? furniture, ami bi fore
the work was completed many of the men were
laboring at the risk of their lives In s stifling
atmosphere and smtd falll ig b mm is.
ASSEMBLYMEN'S LIVES IN PERIL.
in the oppoetts wing of the building the House
had been shout to r.nvene st the same time

at first given by the Assemblymen and the i.
pie in the gallery to th ? smell of smoke snd the
excitement and bustle In the rotunds opposite,
By the time the j.e..pi- iti the linus.' bsd reallied
the seriousness of ih? situation they were tn
peril of their llvea The flames and smoke made
their way into the chamber ami drove the
throng headli pg before them.
S" rapid was their sdvance that pome people
had ii" time t" make their escape by the el "..rs,
bul were compelled t.i .lump from the windows
to the ground. This was ti-., case with the
legislative reporters of the United Associated
Preasea Not thinking the danger so Imminent
