Smoke was seen Issuing from the roof of
the First National bank about I001ast : ! even
ing and the attention of the policeman on that
beat was called to it. Instead of turning in
an alarm from the corner of Main and Broad
way , ho ran to No. II hose house to got a lire-
man to go over and look nt it and see if it was
a lire. An alarm was immediately "keyed
in , " and the department responded. It was
found that the smiike was issuing from a de
fective chimney , and the soot in the chimney
was burning. No water was turned on , but
the ii-riid ladder on the platform truck was
raised for the llrst time answering an alarm.
The policeman who gave the alarm said ho
had orders not to pull a box unless ho was
sure there was a Ihe , and for this reason ho
.wanted a ilrotunn to make an examination bc-
fore venturing to turn in an alarm. In this
connection it may not. be out of place to slate
that the instructions given the policemen
how to turn in a lire alarm were rather queer.
OHO of the patrolmen recently happened
along when Electrician Bradley was repair
ing n box , and was instructed how to call the
lire department. Said he , "I'm mighty glad
you showed mo how , or 1 would have made u
big mistake. The instructions we got waste
to turn the key in the door nnd then walk
away , as it wouldn't do any good to try to get
the key out , for It would bo locked in
the door. They didn't say anything
about pushing any button , and I didn't ' know
there was such a thing. I supposed the turnIng -
Ing of the key sent In the alarm just the snmo
ns It docs when wo turn lit a call for the
patrol wagon. "
If this lias been the understanding of the
other members of the force it has been very
fortunate that a flro did not break out on
their beats.

AVomun AOOIIHO I'uoli Oilier.
Nnw YOIIK , May 1'J. Mural Mnstcrson ,
who says ho Is an ex-supremo court Judge of
Prcscott , Arl/ . , and who lives at Itt West
Twenty-second street , had locked up tonight
on the chnrgo of attempting to kill him , an al
leged cousin nud mistress , Mrs. Alice Hop-
klnson. Mrs. Hopklnson makes a sim
ilar chnrgo against Mastcrson. Mastcrsou ,
according to the account given by Mrs. Hop-
kinson's maid , called at thu house early In the
evening nnd being denied admittance kicked
the door open and entered Mrs. Hopklnson's
impart ncnt. demanding * 1X ( ) , < XK ) which ho
claimed she had swindled him out
of. A shot was heard shortly after
wards and Mastcrson rushed from the
room with a smoking pistol In
his hand and running to the West Thirtieth-
street police station demanded Mrs. Hojikln-
son's n r rest for attempting to shoot him. ,
Mrs , Hopkinson was arrested anil at the po
lice station mndo a counter charge against
Mastcrson.
Ex-JUdgoMasterson comes from Prescott ,
Ariz. , amlls said to ho worth $ . ' . ,000,000. Ho
has been a visitor to the flat for a long time
nnd his son Howard , a boy of thirteen , lived
with Mrs. Hopkinson until a few weeks ago.
Mastcrson , It Is also said , owns gold mines in
ChlhuahuuOld Mcxico nd onyx mines In Ari
zona. His story is that the woman swindled
him out of § 100.000 in mine bonds , nnd when
he demanded their return shot nt him , and
that she is now trying to blackmail him. IIo
added that ho had been her dupe long enough.
The woman denies the accusation nnd
claims that she was n partner of his In the
mining business ; that the money she re-
tnlned was her share of the profits , and that
Mastcrson attempted to shoot her. A week
ago , she said , ho beat her black and
blue and look &KK ) nnd a gold
watch from her. In the woman's
possession were found loving letters from
Mnstcrson , in which ho speaks of her ns the
woman ho has ever truly loved. Mrs. Hop
kinson is a blonde , nboul twenty-seven years
old , nnd claims to be married. Jealousy Is nt
the bottom of the trouble.
A prominent New York business man , said
to bo George Carlyle Alnmcr , is mixed up in
the affair. Masterson is a married man.
A Little Town
Lowin.i , Mass , May 12. [ Special Telegram
to Tin : Biu. : ] The little town of Draycut is
disgusted ut the results of Its solitary § 3,000
liquor license , the holder of which had his
second day's business today. The crowd was
not so great today as that attending the open
ing Saturday , hut the scenes have developed
into a carnival of debauchery. The mayor
and chief of police of Lowell have refused to
send ofllccrs there for duty , but twlco has the
patrol wagon been called there and returned
loaded. There were numberless small lights ,
and n man named Farrcll was unmercifully
pounded and kicked. Another man named
Hymako fell off an electric car tonight on the
way to Lowell and had his ankle fractured.
The Lowell onleers wcro stationed at the line
nud arrested and handcuffed the Intoxicated
pei-sons ns fast as they came over. In the
vicinity of the saloon scores of hoodlums laid
out In the Holds , trampled over planted land ,
and drank and danced in high carnival. At ?
o'clock tonight the holder of the license was
forced to shut down business for his own
peace , and it is believed that a general upris
ing of citizens will cause u change in affairs.

Xo Question lint That the Orcnt HOMO
l Wlml-'llrokeii.
CuicAno , Muy -fSpodal Telegram to
Tun BII : : . ] The Tonics' correspondent at
Nashville , Tcnn. , ( clfgraphs : I have read
the accounts of how Jho New York World
had senl a veterinarian down to Nnshvlllo
expressly to cxamhm nnd roporl on the con
dition of El Hio Hey ; of how ho made a
thorough nnd critical examination of the
" "
great horse , nnd ho\v"h"o found him sound and
all right with the exception of some head
trouble , catarrh perhaps , which can easily bo
cured. 1 believe , with the single exception of
the superintendent , I nm the most frequent
visitor to the " track here , and If any New
York "vet" has examined El Klo Hey in
Nashville ho must have dona so when Major
Estell was asleep , when Joe Courtney was
away and when 1 was holding down a want
ntcctlng in the other end of the town. I 11111
sure no ono hero will nccuso mo of
being prejudiced against El Klo Hey.
All know how reluctantly I have
brought my pen to describe , him
ns he is , or , at least , as I believe him to be.
All know how I stuck to him through good
and evil report until the facts came out and I
became convinced of his true condition , and
hence whatever I say hero concerning him I
say with the keenest regret , not only from my
mlmlnlMnn fm * tlm Immn Imf ulan frmn Oin
respect nnd esteem In which I hold Mr.
Winters , Major Estell nud Mr. Courtney. I
know that they have all along been hopeful
of the horse and are still hopeful , but they
must prepare to face the Inevitable. If you
know anybody in Chicago who thinks that
El Hio Hey-will win the American derby and
is willing to back his judgment , I can place
his money for him at odds of J3,000 to $1,000.
I nm not a veterinarian , nnd neither
is the man with the $5,00 , .
Now , ns the bookies sny , "Como off ,
boys. " El Hio Hov worked a mile here yes
terday , in 1:55 : , and was given a good scrape
out. Ho whistled llko n steam engine and
you could hear him from any part of the
track. Is ho u roarer i I don't know whether
ho is or not. I nm simply stating the facts.
Of ono thing I haven't the slightest doubt ,
and thai Is that his wind is permanently and
seriously affected. Are they preparing him !
Oh , yes , they are getting him ready , and they
are doing it after the most approved methods.
Ho will bo mndo ns near ready as It is possi
ble to make him. They may even go so far
ns to start him , but whenever they uo , It will
indeed bo "good-bye El Kio Roy. " The grout
horse has seen his'best days on the turf.
I was about to forget to give Proctor Knott
a parting shot. The once great gelding left
hero looking pretty good. I am not at all sat
isfied with his leg. Although it gave him no
trouble here , at Memphis I am a little bit
afraid it was not just what it should be. I
understand and appreciate. . Mr. Scoggins'
hopes. He would give a kingdom to win the

drinker nnd Judiciously IriVcatcd his weekly
savings In city lots. In course of tlmo ho

wlfo who willingly assisted him in his struggle
for a homo. No children were born
$ to them , but they purchased their homo and
by degrees won many a foot of Omaha realty.
His name was William Miller , and all the
Union Pacific shopmen knew him.

the home he had left a young man , gray
headed , gray beat-tied nnd time-worn. His
wlfo had died ten years ago , his children wcro
at school or married , and only a few of the
