JUDGE LINDLEY.- He Dexterously Parries Questions on His Congressional Aspirations. Judge Lindley, of Circuit Court No. 4, was interrogated this afternoon by a Post- DISPATCH reporter with a view of obtaining his opinion on the report that brings him out as a probable Democratic eandi- date for Congress in the Second Congressional district. It will be seen by the annexed brief talk that the Judge is not decided as to «his future course; and ambiguity characterizes bis replics. The reporter found the Judge in conversation with Judges Boyle and Adams, and on securing the judicial ear in private, the following conversation took place: **W hat about the rumors to the effect that you are a candidate for Congress? Are they true, or are they not?” commenced the re- porter. ‘*Some people know, or, at least. seem _ to know, more about my candidacy than I do myself,’’ replied the Judge. **Thé@n you are not a candidate, I under- stand?’’ put in the reporter. ‘*Well, whether lam or not, I have made no move in that direction,’’ responded the Judge. ‘*is your health such as to require an early resignation from the bench?’ : ‘*No; I have enjoyed reasonably good health; and although [ may feel in the future that I have had enough judicial duty, 1 have made no move toward resigning at the pres- sul time.’? Se Lb.O.P.I. A number of petitions for crosswalks, sewers, etc., were received and referred te the proper commissioners. The Board of Public Improvements met this morning. The assistant street commis- sioner was present in Gen. Turner’s stead. An ordinance for the construction of sewers in Compton Avenue Sewer District No. 34 was adopted. Estimated cost $00. Ad- journed. A permit was issued toGeo. H. Chase to lay a fifteen inch sewer-pipe in block 2437 to drain the car stables of the Benton and Belle- fontaine Company.

The Sewer Commissioner recommended the construction of a sewer in bleck bounded by Baker and Teresa avenues and Manchester road and Walnut street. The Water Commissioner asked that Frie day, February 6, be set as the dav on which the Board will receive proposals for three hundred tons of water pipe, to pe used in extending the distribution system of the Water Works. . The Committtee on Sewers reported for recommenda.ion to the Municipal Assembly the draft of an Ordinance establishing and providing for the construction of Louisa sireet Sewer District No. 6, DeKalb, Columbus and Victor and a line be- tween Sidney and Victor. Adopted. estimated cost, 7620, was adopted as the es- timate of the board. Last Night’s Fires. Omceer Jones reports a fire at 613 South See- ond street yesterday afternoon owing to a de- fective flue, from Which the dam- age amounted. to $ 50. The build- ing belongs to John J. Kiburt. A small one-story srame house one block south of the River Des Peres, near the Barrack’s road, was entirely cousumed by tire about nive o’clock yesterday afternoon. The house had been vaeant for some time, and no cause ean be assigned for the fire. Loss $700, in- sured for »00, Officer Genail discovered a fire in the St.Louis Foundry in South St.Louis at two o’clock this morning. He awoke the own- er and the tire Was put out without an alarm being sounded. Loss ‘Wet more than $25. Ofii- cer Dixon turned up withthe next blaze at 105 South Tenth street, belonging to Mr. Me- Phillips, in which sparks from a grate burned up not more than $10 worth of clothing.: —————eEeee The Singer-Smith Case. The’case of manslaughter iu the second de- gree against ‘‘Dr.’? Charles A. Smith and Miss Ellen Singer came up before Judge Cady this morning, and inasmuch as the “Dr.’? has skipped the town the suit was not brought to trial. The Doctor has been out. on bail for some days, Lewis A. MeGinnis being his security, and this morning the bond was forfeited. It amounts to $1,000. The other de- fendant was presentin the court room. She was neatly dressed enough and clean-looking, but she was not at all pretty; neither was she at all communicative, resisting the artful bisndishments of a reporter who was anxious to interview her. She declined with thanks. She refused to testify and anolle pros. was ace ordingly entered in the case. The Campbell Estate. An inventory of the estate of Hugh Camp- bell was this afternoon filedin the office of the clerk of the Probate Court.

But it Appears This Afternoon Temporarily in a New Form. Ata quarter pasttwelve o’clock last night an alarm of fire rang out from the corner of Fourth and Pine streets, and the town woke up and turned out in sucha manner that the streets, which had been quiet and deserted a few moments before, were filled full of hur- aying men and rushing engines all focusing upon the office of the PosrT-DISPATCH, whose time bad apparently come to do that for oth- ers which had been frequently been done for it. There weretwo alarms given, one bya private watchman on Fourth and Pine, and another by Officer Burke on Sixth and Chestnut, and in response to. the invitation the fire laddies certainly turned outina way that did them honor. Within a remarkably short space of time half a dozen streams of water were playing’ upon the fire,and the boys were climbing in and over the burning building, getting sheir work in at the best possible advantage, while great musses of smoke rose slowly and passed to the nortawest. The Post Dispatcu build- ing reaches from Fifth to the alley between Fifth and Sixth streets, and it was in the rear ‘*L,’? which was used as a press-room and composing-rom, that the fire was worst. The ‘*L’’ is a two-story affair, the ground floor containing the magnificent double four cylin- der Hoe press upon which this paper was printed and which was a marvel of mechanical skill for all its present resemBlance to a demoralized threshing ma- chine. Besides the press 256 bundles.of white paper were piled in this story. Immediately above was the cemposing room, which was filled with the cases of the printers, and which is the worst used-up part of the build- ing. The fire originated on the lower floor inthe southeast corner ofgthe room, where nothing but a window separates that apart- ment from the *‘Parlor Saloon,’’ which oc- cupies half the front of the building. At first glance one would suppose that, originating whereit did,the fire came from the engines or from a stove which stoodin the northeast corner of the room, but the charred remains indicate very clearly that neither of these sources was the birth place _ of the blaze. A barrel of printer’s ink stands yet right by the stove, and as this is an extremely inflammable substance it Would have burnt like oil had it had half achance. The side of the press next to the engine and boilers is not nearly so badly hurt as the other, where the fire really originated. The piles of paper all about afforded excellent material for the fire to work upon, and had it not been for the ex- treme promptitude of the fire laddies the Post-DIsPpaATCH would have had as brilliant a midnight edition as any paper could wish. Phelim Toole aid the Babcocks were first on the yround, and had “their streams working just a sbade sooner than any- body but the interval! of time was very short between them and the other companies, the 12s, 15s and 18s being on deck almost simultaneously. The damage from fire in the upper floor Was not great, but the pie- ing of type was something to be remembered. A stream of water would come sailing through a broken window, hit a long galley of legal ads, and the type would be cleaned thor- oughly away. Occasionally a stand would be hit, and as the room was rather a cramped one that case would take down a string of other stands withit. ‘This morning when the foreman of the composing room, Mr. Cole, totted up the damages he found the floor covered with loose type, so thickly strewn tht the whole floor was covered with it, andthe place looked hke what the printers call technically a ‘ ‘hell box.’’ Over five hundred pounds of leaden letters are at this present writing being swept into little piles, whence they will be carted to the foundry and melted over. Nearly all of the standing advertisements which wére not in yesterday’s paper were pied, there being some remarkable exceptions. St. Jacob’s. Oil, for instance, despite its oleayinousness, still stands. A great string of legal advertise- ments are so mixed up that they are utterly useless for anv purpose but old metal. The most severe damage done anvwhere is to the press, which 1s almost utterly ruined, some of the platforms being wholly burned und other parts being so bad- ly charred as to necessitate a complete reno- vation. The white paper which was piled up near the pressisa melancholy example of misplaced usefulness, demonstrating that, besides its purpose in the art preservative, it is an excellent material out of which to make up ablaze. The engine, fortunately, was one only in temporary use while a new one was being built, which. was to have been put in on Saturday had there not been an interruption in the im- provements. Mr. W.F. Coulter, the com- mercial editor,-was the last gentleman to leave the premises last night. He was inthe press room at twenty minutes to eleven o’clock, and found that the fires were proper- ly banked and everything all right. Mr. Me- Guftin, the business manager, was sent for as soon as possibie, and before leaving the office all the arrangements were completed for to- day’s issue. Mr. J. B. McCullagh, of the Globe-Democrat, came forward at once with an offer of every facility atthe command of’ the Globe-Democrat to enable the Post-DISPATCH to appear to-day, and Mr. Cundiff, of the Times, addressed the: following letter to the office: St. Louris TIMES, ) ST. LOUIS, January 23, 1880. = { To the Business Manager, or Foreman Post- DISPATCH. if the Times can afford the Post-DispatcH any gssistance while its machinery and type are disarranged by the firethis morning I shall be happy to lend any assistance in my power. Respectfully, J. H. R. CUNDIFF. The proprictors of the Republican also ten- dered the use of their office and material with great courtesy and promptness. The arrange- ments which have been made in the premises consist in moving the composing-room up- stairs in the third story of the old office, where the paper will be set up, and until the press is reorganized the Post-Disratcn will be printed at the Globe-Democrat office.
