From that, by energy, economy and thrift, he prospered, and his business increased until he was ono of tho most extensivo commission merchants in that city. lie becamo also one of the most prominent men of tho city politically, and just bei'oro tho
Franco-Gorman war lie was made first "adjoint" to tho mayor of tho city and was a staff officer of the army, although his duties did not reqniro his presence on tho battlefield.

He was also a close adviser of tlio officials of Havre and in every manner demonstrated great executive talent and a born leadership.
It was in 1871, during the Frencli communo, however, that his. personal bravery and ability to confront desperate emergencies were tested. While acting

Mischievous Mine. Malihran.
No prima donna was ever more delightfully capricious, more full of mischief than the famous Mine. Malibran. At the rehearsals of "Romeo and Juliet" she could never make up her mind whore she was to ''die'' at night. It was important for Romeo to know, but all he could get was "not sure," "don't know, "can't tell, or "it will bo just as it happens, according to my humor sometimes in one place, sometimes in another." On one occasion sho clioso
John Temploton, tho fino old Scottish tenor, was probably never so miserable as when ho was cast to sing with Malibran. Very often sho was displeased with his performanco, and ono evening sho whispered to him, "You are not acting properly make lovo to mo bettor, to which, so it is said, Temploton

THE FIllE COMPANY'S QUICK WORK.
A Splendid Pressure With Fine Results,
This morning the alarm of fire brought out the fire company on,the double quick. The fire proved to be a summer kitchen attached to John McCabes house on Mill street. C. E. Kinder with the hose cart was there very quickly the hose was promptly attached and the pressure being allright the fire was soon extinguished.
The Gorman house was on fire but a few dashes soon extinguished that fire and then the hose was turned on the kitchen. It only required a few minutes to put out all the Are, although the bu tiding was completely enveloped in (lames. Under the old style of the bucket brigade both houses of Mr. McCabe and of Mrs. Gorman would have been destroyed. We are proud of our wat3r works and our fire department. They are equal to the emergency.
A New York man who was there said "why that beats the water pressure in New York." A Knightstown man who is used to seeing men pull the hose carts to a Are said "why my G-d how quick they get there."

Three Business Rooms Were Shattered,
and Windows For Several Rlocks Blown
Out -The IJebris Caught Fire Instantly
and Threatened to Consume the Kntire
Business District.
ANDERSON, Ind., March 6.—Anderson experienced a 100.000 gas explosion yesterday morning shortly after 3 o'clock. Three business rooms were shattered, and windows for several blocks blown out. The contents of the stores were blown squares away. The courthouse clock was blown out of the tower. The debris caught fire instantly and threatened to consume the entire business district, it being late in the afternoon before tlio flames were extinguished. The shock of the explosion was felt for many miles.
A broken gas main allowed the gas to escape.. It could not come up through the frozen ground and forced itself into the cellar. Some connection with a lighted jet did the rest. The Terhunc block, occupied by the When Clothing company, Cal Proa flier's shoestore and Hadley's drugstore. was totally wrecked. All efforts were confined to saving surrounding property. All the scattered debris seemed to blaze and firebramds threatened disaster in all directions. Losses were as follows: When Clothing company, $35,000 building, $25,000 Proather's shoestore, $N.500 Hadley's drugstore, $7,000 offices above stores, $5,000. Other damages by fire, water and concussion will make the total loss $100,000. The total insurance does not exceed $40,000.
SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.
A 1'eculiar Homicide That Occurred in Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, March f.—A peculiar
homicide occurred in front of James Martin's residence in Dalf :venue, in the Avest end of the city, yesterday. Mr. Herman Wessling, a varnisher in a furniture factory, was on his way to work, when a pistol ball entered his chest, pasting through his heart, and he fell dead.
The story of the shooting, as told by Mrs. Martin, is that she was making up their folding bed, in the lower front room, aud took the pistol from under the pillow and placed it on the mantel. Just as she did so she heard a pistol shot, but did not know it was the one she was handling. Her husband rushed in from the back room to ask about it, and they found it was their pistol, and also found the hole where the ball went through the wall. The police question the accuracy of the story of the shooting, though there is nothing to show anything but accident, so far as the victim is concerned. Mr. Martin came here from Chattanooga.
