already beginning to show itself. The
Northwestern and all the other news
paper Offices shared the fate of the
surrounding buildings; their types are
now hopeless "pi" however arrange
ments will be made to Immediately re-
organize the Offices In the unburpt
portion of the city, and the papers will
be issued as soon as can reasonably
be expected. The fact that several
partly burned waybills from the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul depot at Oshkosh were found
at New Holstein station, twenty
miles away will chow the velocity
Of the wind at the time of
Of conhagration. At an early period in
the progress of the fire all telegraph
fc communication was severed, only
the operator of the Northwestern r.
r. Co. being able to keep his circuit
open. Even now, nothing can be
learned beyond the most meagre gen
eralities-
MILWAUKEE, April Photographic
communication with Oshkosh is al
most entirely cut of. A few dispatch
es have reached here from adjacent
stations. About one-third of the
buildings In the city were burned.
The Northwestern got out q paper at
10 o'clock this morning. There are
startling reports of dcpredations COM
mitted by thieves all over the city.
The citizens of Fon du Lac had a
meeting this morning and subscribed
literally for the relief of the sufferers.
DETROIT, April ga large fire oc-
cured here this morning at $40 The
fire originated in the factory of the
Weber Furniture Co. It consumed
the factory, also ten or twelve adjoin-
ing dwellings. Tho whole fire de-
partment was called into action. The
loss on the factory building is two
hundred thousand dollars; machinery
stock and out buildings one hundred
thousand. The estimated loss on the
dwellings from thirty to fifty thousand
dollars. Insurance not known.
Two colored women, mother and
her daughter, named Elizabeth Thom-
90 and Harriet Fisher, were found
dead in their beds, their bodies chop
ped with an AZ. Suspicion points to
John Thomas, the husband of the first
named victim. He has been arrested.

THE PAlD0NlEG POWER AGAIN,

Wo print elsewhere reply to the editorial
article which appeared in The Ta1nuxE upon
abuses OF the pardoning power, as illustrated
by tho reloasa Of two murderors from the
Joliet penitontiary on Christmas Day. Itpre-
scnta the sentimental side OF sympathy for
criminals as foreibly pcrhnps as 1t can bo
shown, but tho arguments aro proftless bo-
causo there Is no sentimental sldo to murder,
its commission, and its penalties. It is
fearful, terribio reality.
There arc only Two points really worth
considering in tho communication Of our cor
respondent. Tho first Of these Is the attempt
OH his part to assign Il retuson for these par-
dons. In tho article to which be soplies It
was statod TINT We wero unaware Of tho
special influences which induced tho Gov
ernor to discharge these two murdorers.
Our correspondent also does not mp
pear to bu aware OF thcm, but as
signs as snficient general reason that
The murdere1s had been well behaved.
This IL no reason whatevor for tie exercise
Of tho partloning power. It IL expected OF
avsry convict that he will DO well BE-
hayed anl diligently observe ali the rules Of
tho prison. Having behaved badly out Of
the penitentiary, it is oxpectsd Of him that
Lis conduct shall be exemplary In tho Pen.
itentiary. Furthermore. III il far tho worry
| purpose OF showing that good conduct is not
a zeason Tor pardon, tho stat,.tcs themselves
offer reward for 1t by requiring the Ward.
gu to keep record OF every infraction OF
the rules Of prison discipline, md he is also
required TO inform every prisoner that each
succeeding month Of good behavior entities

days from his term OF sentencs tho ratio oi
which isaxed by law. Should any convict pms.

citizenship, which hive been forfeited by hi
conviction. From, this provision it Is ap
parent that neitAor In lav nor In equity i
good conduct A sufficient rcasun for pardon
aud slis IL the only reason which our eorre
spontlent alleScB In these oases.
The SECOND point which uur correspondent
uecks to mako IL TINT tho priaoaer is nc

Charge Of tho Warden Of tho Alms-l House,

also TINT these 800 unfortunates are under
