ted -Excitement luteuse.
Bath, Me., January 29.—One of the
most disastrous fires iu the history of
the city occnr -ed last night in the Sa
gadahoek House stables. A large part
of the business portion of the city was
gutted, about twenty buildings being
destroyed.
The fire spread so rapidly that the
department was wholly unable to cope
with it. Calls for assistance were sent
to Portland and Lewiston, and brought
steamers and hand engines.
The wat3r pipes were frozen or
broken, an I it was some time before
effective work could be done.
The fire communicated to the hotel
from the stables, and the house, which
is the leading hostelry of the city, was
quickly gutted. The adjoining build
ings were soon in flames, and before
the fire could be controlled half a mill
ion dollars worth of property was de
stroyed.
The following were burned out, and
are the heaviest losers:
Sagadahock house. Lincoln National
bank, A. Hallett & Co., druggists; J. O.
Shaw, bookseller and stationer; J. A.
Douglass, clothing; Marine National
bank; I). T. Perry & Sons, dry goods,
also their crockey store; A. M. Frank,
cigar dealer; W. R. Stearns, book
binder; J. A. Gilmore, confectionery;
Central house; \V. S. Shorrey, book
binder; W. A. Jacks, barber; W. J.
Parks & Co., cigar manufacturers;
twenty-five-cent institution; C. H. Nor
ton, cigar dealer; \V. G. Webber, drug
gist. Several society halls, insurance
and lawyers' and doctors' offices and
dwelling houses wete also destroyed,
while the Times Printing Company and
a number of stores were damaged by
water.
Attempt at Effigy.
Dpi.u’h, Minn., January 29.- —An at
tempt has been made to burn Con
gressman Baldwin in effigy for voting
for the free iron ore schedule of the
Wilson bill. A band of music made its
appearance near the Merchants’ hotel
and a youth appeared bearing a banner
on which was painted a figure labeled
“Baldwin,” with his neck en
circled by a n ose. A procession pre
ceded by the banner and band started
west along Superior street. It had
not proceeded far when a man jumped
from the crowd on the sidewalk and
grabbed the banner. As he caught
hold of it some one landed a well di
rected blow on the back of his head.
He let go the banner and dropped to
the ground. 'l'wo blocks farther west
-evcral men rushed toward the head of
‘he procession, and one grabbed the
banner, which was quickly torn into
deceg. This created a lively riot for a
.’ew minutes, but a squad of police
quickly dispersed the crowd, while the
youth who had been carrying the ban
ner was taken in the patrol to police
headquarters.
Seek Refuge from the Storm.
New London, Conn., January 29. —
The howling northeaster that has pre
vailed since Thursday night has made
it rough for vessels. This harbor is
filled with craft, the number including
a dozen towboats, nearly two-score of
barges and about twenty schooner.-,
most of the fleet being bound eastward,
but held here by the head winds nn
severely cold weather. Vessels tha'
came in today are encased in an armor
of ice, and present the appearance of
having struggled against sea. wind and
an extremely low temperature. In th
town there are more than 30,000 tons o.
coal, a greater quantity than has been
afloat in this port before this winter.

THE CARLISLE CARD.
Authority to Issue Eo- ds Conferr

AND IT EXISTS YET, EE SAYS.
'j- jJaltay, t lit* .'.u of tiio Ki-ieiuiion

What lie ( Lijii < and Wherein
lie is Questioned.
Nm.v York, January 29.- John G.
Carli. le. secret try of t’.e treasury, is at
the I’i t'i Ave 'U. hotel in this city,
lie made public last night thefollow
ing statement: ‘‘lt has been erron
eously published in some newspapers
that the committee of.the judiciary of
the h mse of representatives had agreed
to and reported a resolution denying
the authority of the secretary of the
treasury to issue and sell bonis as
1 reposed in his recent circular, and
these publications have evidently made
an unfavorable impreision upon the
minds of some, who contemplated
making bids for theseseeurities.
“The only resolution in relation to
this subject that has been before the
committee is as follows :
“Resolved, Th at it is the senseof the
house of representatives that the sec
retary of the treasury has no author
ity, under existing laws, to issue and
sell bonds of the United States, e <cept
such as is conferred upon him by the
act approved January 14, 1875, entitled
‘An act to provide for the resumption
of specie payment.-,’ and that the
money derived from the sale of bonds
issued under that act cannot be law
fully applied to any purpose except
those specified therein.
“It will be seen that these resolu
tions assumed that the authority to
issue bonds was conferred upon the
secretary of the treasury by the act of
January 14, 1875, and that such author
ity still exists, but it asserts that the
proceeds of the bonds cannot be law
fully used except for the purpose of
redemption of treasury notes.
His Authority Not Questioned.
“The official stenographic reports of
the proceedings in the committee,
when the secretary of the treasury ap
peared before it last Thursday, shows
that his authority to issue bonds was
not questioned by any member, the
only question being whether he could
use the proceeds for any other purpose
than the redemption of United States
notes. Mr. Bailey, the author of the
resolution, distinctly admitted the ex
istence of the authority.
“Addressing the secretary, Mr. Bai
ley said: ‘The resolution does not im
peach your right to issue bonds; it
expressly recognizes it, but questions
the right to apply the proceeds to any
purpose except those specified in the
acL’
“The judiciary comini 1 tee of the
house examined and reported upon
this same question during the Fifty
second congress, and it then conceded
that the authority existed under the
act of 1875. The question as to the au
thority of the secretary of the treasury
to use the money in any particular
manner, or for any particular purpose,
is wholly distinct from the question as
to his authority to issue and sell bonds.
No matter what he may do with the
money, the validity of the bonds will
not be affected, and then* is, therefore,
no reason why any on 2 should hesitate
to invest in these securities on the
grounds that the proceeds might be
possibly used for other than redemp
tion purposes.”
Mr. Carlisle would say nothing fur
ther on the subject. He stated that his
only purpose in issuing this statement
was to rectify errors of recently pub
lished reports regarding the issuance
of bonds. Mr. Carlisle wiU leave this
city this evening.
Ha Returned to Claim His Own.
Springfield, 0., January 29.—H. C
Paige, a member of a well-known fam
ily and an heir to a fortune of 825,000,
has returned to this city after having
been missing for twenty years. Four
teen years ago his mother died, leaving
him SIO,OOO of her estate, which was
placed to his credit in the First National
bank. As year after year passed and
he did not return, his relatives gave him
up as dead. Some of the family con
lection urged a division of the inheri
tance, but it was not made. The princi
pal—slo,ooo—has been drawing interest
• •ver since, and now it approaches quite
close to $25,000, which Mr. Paige has
taken possession of. Since his disap
pearance he has been for most of the
time located in Denature, Illinois.

Severe Wind in Colorado.

TO CLOSE THURSDAY,
Tha Great Tariff Debate in thel
Lower House of Corqresa.
VOTE ON PASSAGE THEN TAKEN.
Today and Tomorrow On General Debate,
and Wednesday Under the Five-
Minute Rule —Oi her Con
gressional Forecasts.
Washington, January 29.—The great
tariff debate will close in the bouse on
next Thursday at 3 o'clock, when, ac
cording to the special order under
winch the house is operating, the vote
will be taken on the pending amend
ments and the final passage of the bill.
'1 he debate during the coming week
will relate entirely to the internal rev
enue bih, which the democratic caucus
decided to place upon the tariff bill as
a rider.
Tomorrow and Tuesday will be de
voted to general debate, and Wednes
day to debate under the five-minute
rule, when the internal revenue feat
ures will be open to amendments. Os
course the principal opposition will be
directed against the income tax, which
is being bitterly opposed by the eastern
democrats.
The republicans, however, will not
vote with the democrat opponents of
the income tax, but will either refrain
from voting or else, if necessary, to
make a quorum, vote for it in order to
incorporate it in the bill. An attempt
to defeat it will, therefore, be hopeless.
U hen the bill is reported to the house
on Thursday three hours will be al
lowed for closing the debate, one and a
half hours on a side.
Mr. Heed will close for the republi
cans and Mr. Wilson and Speaker Crisp
for the democrats. The indications are
that when the bill is placed upon its
final passage that it will have a fail
margin to carry it.
During the past week, the movement
to recommit the bill looked formidable,
as Ht least fifty democrats, (counting
the anti-income tax advocates) includ
ing all those dissatisfied with any por
tion of the measure, were
counted upon to take this
indirect method of compelling
changes in their interest. With the re
publican support, this plan might have
succeeded, but on yesterday some of the
republican leaders talked the situation
over and came to the conclusion that it
ould not be politic to join a faction or.
the democratic ranks in order to give
the bill a back-set, which might not re
sult in its ultimate defeat. They have
informally decided, therefore, either to
refrain from voting or else to vote
against the motion to recommit, bus
they will vote with the opposition
against the passage of the bill, or for .*
motion to strike out the enacting
clause, which motion will place the op
ponents of the bill fairly and squarely
on record against the entire measure.
This decision, if it is adhered to. in th<
opinion of the democratic leaders, re
moves all doubt as to th" final passage
of the bill, as they believe that not
more than thirty democrats at tiie out
side will carry their opposition to the
extent of voting direct against the bill
If the republicans should poll theii
.whole strength, (124) this would only
raise the vote against the bill to 151. iu
with the income tax included it is be
lieved that the bill will command tie
entire populist vote of nine. The full
vote for the bill, therefore, could be
200, a majority of 40. It is fair to as
sume that the absentees will be drawn
proportionately’ from each side, so that
from present indications the democratic
leaders claim a majority’ for the bill of
from 30 upwards. If by any change of
program, the republicans should decide
to vote in favor of the motion to recom
mit, the additional strength gainesl
from the democratic side (about twenty)
might seriously endanger, if not defeat,
the measure. But this is not now an
ticipated. After the tariff is disposed
of on Thursday, a special order will be
brought in for the consideration of the
Hawaiian matter Friday or Saturday.
The McCreary resolution will form the
basis of the debate, and while some
very lively and picturesque speeches
will probably be made, it is expected
that it will be passed practically by a
strict party vote.

After u Bloody Murder an<l Robbery in a
Kansas Town.
Kansas City. January ?9. —A special
to The Times from Pittsburg. Kan.,
says; One of the most horrible mur
ders ever committed in this part of

storeroom with his throat cut and his
body fearfully cut ami slashed and cov
ered with coagu’ated blood. Dr. Chap

XV. of Pittsburg. His residence ad
joined his store. For some t'.me past he

count of the many burglaries commit
ted there. This morning about 7

store to call her husband, and no re
>ponse being made, she aroused a
couple of neighbors, who forced the
loer, when a horrible sight awaited
them. <>n the floor, behind a eour.ter,
in a large pool of blood, lay the lifeless
body of Mr. Chapman, with his throat
cut, his hands tied behind him. a gag
in his mouth, and his body hacked to
