been examined thus far, but nothing definite
can be ascertained as to what their testimony
is Miss Stilwell's testimony is damaging
to the steward, but it is said that Lawyer
Valentine, of Chicago, has torn the testi-

prosecution all to smithereens. The board
will visit Watertown and other points for the
purpose of taking testimony, as they cannot
compel the attendance of witnesses. There

Memphis.
MEMPHIS, May 16.-At o'clock this morn
ing st. Agnes academy, on Vance street, was
destroyed by fire, together with its valuable
library, all the clothing of the pupils and
large portion of the furniture. How the fire
originated is not known, as the Sisters of st.
Dominick, who owned the academy, were at
prayers in the chapel when the alarm was
given, and rushing out, found the upper por-
tion of the building in flames. Their efforts
were then directed to saving the pupils, who
were very much alarmed and excited, but
The GOODNESS of the sisters prevented a
panic, and all were safely gotten out.
soon after the fremen reached the scene the
roof fell in and Chief McFadden and two fire.
men were caught in the hall and severely hurt
but not dangerously burned. The building,
library and furniture were insured in the
Planters of Memphis, for 5000, but all ex-
cept $5, 900 was reinsured in other companies
which will fully cover the loss. There were As
boarders in the school and all lost their wear
ing apparel. The following is the insurance.
On the building $4,000; library, furniture,
etc., $5,000-divided as follows: Planters,
$1,000; Home, Mississippi Valley, Bluff City,
Phoenix and Memphis City, all of Memphis,
81, 500 each; State, of Nashville, Continental,
New York, Firemens Fund, California, So, 500
each. Insurance agents estimate the loss at
sixty per cent.

Pirate Sherman is Not afraid.

WASHINGTON May 16.-The National Repu6-
iicam to-day publishes the following interview
with John Sherman, relative to the pending
Florida investigating committee. In reply to
question Us to what he thought was the real
purpose of the resolution, Sherman said it
looked very much as if the Democrats were en-
gagged in the work of manufacturing ammu-
milton for the fall campaign, irrespective of
due regard to the character of the material.
The interview proceeds as follows:
Q.-Do you think this movement is aimed at
Mr.. Hayes title?
A.-Not at ALL for that is irrevocably estab-
lished by authority of a law which must be alb
roga ted before the title can be approached. Be
assured, it does not really point in that direc-
ton. bue is make-shift for Democratic CAPT
tai. Tor campaign purposes.
Q.-Newspapers say that it is aimed at you
and Gov. Noycs, and other statesmen who Wis
tied Louisiana and Florida. pending the cleo
toral count in those States, with view to
bringing you into public disrep"te.
A.-Yes, l know papers say so, but none of
these things move me- visited the South at
that critical period in the nations history in
the interest of right and justice. 1t was gem
orally understood that the Democrats had de-
termined to capture both Louisiana and
Florida and thus count Tilden in. was con-
WINGED that fair count would give both those
States to Hayes. and having a deep interest in
the proper, just and wise adj ustment of the
question that was exciting the public mind to
fever heat throughout the length and bredth of
the country, went to Louisiana to supervise
the counting Of the votes, solely witty view,
if possible, to secure an honest count and
just result. devoted much time and careful
ness to the subject, and am firm in the con-
viction that the result as declared in Louisiana
falls short of doing justice to the Republican
| ticket. Our majority in that State
under free and fair election in the several
parishes and precincts, some of which were
terribly bulldozed, would have been much
larger than was determined by the court as
presented by the returning board.
Dwell, what can they do with you under
this resolution?
A.-Nothing. The Democrats can pass a res
! olution and then they can do their worst SO far
| as l am concerned. We do not fear them. On
| the contrary, shall defy them. My action in
the South was surely in tha~ interest of an hon
est election and the public welfare, and shall
| challenge the closest scrutiny into all my pur-
poses and acts while Iwas'i that section, pend
| ing the canvassing of votes.
Q.-Then you do not scare?
A.-Not at all. The Democrats are heartily
welcome to do their worst. My intentions and
actions were upright. l have not the slightest
fear of any consequences that may fall upon
myself under this resolution, should it pass, as
probably it will, after the Republicans have
shown their opponents that it is not the east
est thing in the world to have their own way
when they attempt to perform an act incon
sistent with public peace and welfare and fol
which there is no public necessity.
