Macha had been bound hand and foot, and being awakened by the suffocating smoke, was vainly endeavoring to arouse her husband. Mr. Macha made no response to her calls, and presented the appearance of a dead man. It took hut an instant to perceive that ho had been chloroformed by tho villains. The tenants were aroused, and after vigorous efforts the fire was extinguished, not, however, before it had completely destroyed tho saloon.

The firo made rapid progress, for the robbers had saturated the floor with kerosene and all the inflammable liquors at hand. Macha was robbed of $143, which he had placed under his pillow. The loss on the saloon was about $1,000. Officers of the police and fire departments are inclined to suspect Macha of being implicated in the crime. They say his insurance greatly exceeds the value of tho property.

Later reports show that when the flames burst forth the house contained thirty-one persons most of them Bohemians, a majority small children. MUTINT AT SEA. Mobile, Oct. 5. The British bark Mary P.
