A GRAB AT SIOO,OOO.
Daspnata Act of a Thief at the Kew
Jersey Capitol Fire.
A special dispatch from Trenton,
N. J., says: Baveral exciting inci
dents of the big state house fire have
come to light to-day. The chancery
vaults are unopened, as the insu
rance companies claim the first ex
amination of them. The vaults of
the Stale Treasurer have been opened.
The former were opened for a min
ute to-day, but no damages had been
done by the fire. The water played
havoc. A large number of the pa
papers in case* pending before the
Supreme conrt were soaked, so as
to be illegible, and it Is feared scores
of cases will have to be put over for
a term or two, and all the papers
prepared again.
The State Treasurer's vaults were
opened during the fire by Janitor
Brown and Senior Clerk Lansing.
The government bonds deposited as
securities by outside corporations
were removed. They were handed
out of a window In tbs Treasurer’s
office and given to a friend outside
who removed them to a temporary
place of safely. While a package con
tain 1100,000 worth of bonds belonging
to theMulua! Life insuramlo Com
pany, of New Fork, was being hand
ed oul a stranger emerged from the
shadows and tried to grab it. Jani
tor Brown grappled with the man
but required assistance, n police
nun knocked the man down with
his club, hut before he could do more
u tfie man jumped up and ran away.
Lsnsing and the Janitor finally got
all the bonds out.
The Janitor thought Muting had
left the vault and turning out the gA,
quickly shut and locked (he door.
He was moving off when lie heard
smothered cries and a kicking and
pounding on the iron doors, and
on opening the iron doors Lansing
siaggered out half suffocated with
smoke and white wi'h 'righ(. It took
him sometime to recover, find Lan
sing been left in (he vault much lon
ger he would have been smothered or
roasted to death. The walla and
vauila havo settled considerably lo
dav and It is bcilevtd an entirely new
structure wiU bare to be oracled.

Why is it tliaf we so often treat
those we love best with iiufiCßreuce?
Is liberalise we are ashametfvo show
purlove or that we think thpy mnst
know hew we feel toward them, and
it is unnecessary for us to give them
the little alientious that we are carc
lul to give to those for whom we have
but a slight regard ? If we only knew
how frequently we hurt the reelings of
those whose happiness is usore to us
than aur own happiness, we weold
weigh well our actions. or more prop
erly, Qiy tack of action. If we have
not time to do acta of kluduess and
consideration for the general public
and our ewn loved one*, by all that
helps to make Site worth living, let u
neglect the gensral public and care
for those who look to ua for happiness
%and consideration.
When we are away from home, and
lime U limited for correspondence,
do not give that time to the one whom
you fear will be aunoyed if you do
not, write, but to the one who wait*
lovingly, longingly for the message of

There are soul* whose effeoUon like

because they were not prized, not

THE ARABS HEVEB SURRENDER.
(London Telegraph.)
As at Tcb and Tamal, the wounded
Arabs refused to be made prisoners,
and great caution had to be exercised
in moving about the field, not only
to avoid the covert ataba dealt by th
bleeding Arabs, but the rushes and
cuts of the fanatics who shammed
death in order that they might the
more surely get a chance of bnrying
their weapon in one of us.
Exploring along this wady a party
of our men came upon six dead tnd
four wounded Arabs lying under a
bushy dwarf mimosa tree. The sol
diers bad an interpreter with them,
and the Arabs were called upon to
surrender and come out. They
said they could not do; would the
soldiers therefore come and take them.
The feur wounded men still held their
snears in their hands. “Very good,”
said our soldiers, “put down your
spears, and we wii' see you are well
treated, and do all we can to cure your
wounds.”
“The answer of the four Arabs
came fierce and concise: “Put down
our spears, infidel dogs! By God
and the prophet, never!” There
wss a crack of Martini-Henry’s. You
can guess the rest. It was again, as
at Tab and Tamal, almost impossible
to take prisoners, and we secured
but (woof their wounded alive.
The third prisoner I assisted te
bring in, but he was hardly a capture
for the tnan gave himself up. He had
a Huntington and over 100 rounds of
ammunition. His story was that be
had been one of the Berlier-Egyptian
garrison, aud since the fall of that
place had been force into the Mahdi’s
Army. He was glad to esea|ie from
them, he declared, and 1 must say Ibe
fellow looked cheerful at being taken.
A trooper of the Nineteenth coss
ducted him to Gcn.'Slewarl. lie was
oitreno unwounded prisoner.
LIVING V OREAD OF DEATH
AKothar’a UnfulUUl.d Prophecy- He*
Son’s Demise Predicted.
Mr. John Smith of No. 310 Second
street, Harrison X. J., it new one of
(lie most cheerful mid happy men in
that city, whereas fora long period
previous to his forty-eighth birthday
he was one of the most apprehen
sive of rueo. Ilis mother before she
died predicted that, he would fbllow
her on his forty-eight bithday, and
the prediction was firmly believed
in the family because she had accu
rately foretold the death of another
of her sons.
Friday last was the day of tear and
apprehension and had not Mr. Smith
been a man of strong common sense
and will the dread prophecy might
hare affected him so deeply as to make
him take to hi* bed and die af feer. As
it was, be passed the day in apprehen
sion ami bad all arrangements com
pleted lor his taking off. When the
dey had passed kin fear gave place to
joy, anil a great tense of relief had
talleu upon tha (amity. The dismal
prophecy was firmly believed by hie
wife, sou, and daughter, but they
hoped against hope, and their Uvea
were made miserable by the impend
ing fate of the husband and father.
Now all is changed, and they feel
light and joyful in trying lo forget
the fearful ordeal through which
they have.passed.—N. Y. Herald
