A Hotel Burned and Five Lives Lost.

CLAREMoNT, N. H., March %. At |
o'clock this morning fire was discovered
IN the fremont House, four story
building owned by A. Dickinson. 1t
contained about forty persons, most of
whom escaped by jumping from the
windows. Several of the inmates were
slightly, and Mrs. Fred Marvis was Sc
rlously injured, by leaping to the
ground. The flames and smoke spread
so rapidly that communication with the
fourth story was cut off before the occu-
pants could be rescued, and Mrs. Han
nah P. Gibson of Chester, VT, Charles
Moyau, bOarder, Lydia Merrill, a ia
BILE girl, Anna johnson, a chambermaid
and Mrs. Aplace, pastry cook. were
burned to death. Their cries for helm
were heartrendiug.
Several small buildings were also
burned, but the losses were slight and
fully insured. Browns brick block and
the new bank building were badly dam
aged. The insurance on the hotel
building was $4,000. F. H. Gibson g.
Co., the hotel proprietors, lost every
thing insured $4,000. The cause of the
fire is supposed to be a defective Chin
ney.

Western Elections.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 1.-Cole
(republican), is undoubtedly reelected
Judge of the supreme court by more
than 5000 majority. Reports from in
terrier towns show great republican
gains over last year, and the whole
vote of the towns will probably give
the republicans greater majority than
they have had for many years. In
Milwaukee city the republicans will
control the council for the first time,
having elected ten out of fifteen alder
men, giving them a large majority in
the council. They also elect seven out
of thirteen supervisors. The county
board will probably be democratic by
a small majority.
ST. LOUIS, April 1.-At the city cleo
ton to-day the republicans elected one
and the democrats five members to the
council or upper house in the munich
pal assembly, six republicans and one
democrat hold over. The council will
therefore stand seven republicans and
six democrats. One delegate to the
lower house from each ward was also
elected, but the result is not definitely
decided. The republicans claim a ma
jority of one.
CHICAGO, ILL, April I.-Out of 102

aud found the youngest child lying

were in perishing state from cold and
starvation. Mr.. Westcott notified the
authorities and an inquest was held
Wednesday evening before Justices AL
len and PitI<in. DIR. Wakefield testified
that the dead child persisted from ex-
posture and lack of food. Mrs. Bailey
was pursued and arrested, but her hus-

The Phair Case.
AN INJUNCTION REFUSED.

MONTPELIER, VT, March 2S. Chan
cellor Rcdiield made no elaborate witt
ten opinion, but states that he refused
the petition for an injunction in the
case of John p. Phair on the ground
that the constitutional power of re-
prieve, which is vested in the Execu-
tive, when exercised, as in this case.
does not relieve the sheriff from all liza
hliIty to perform his duty under the
warrant, leaving him in the position to
carry out its commands at the expira-
ton of the time mentioned in the re-
prleve, the same us though that had not
been interposed. This is the ONLY
ground he states in his letter to w. G.
Veazey, notifying him of the refusal of
the petition. The Chancellor does not
desire 1t to be understood that this is
the only reason, but the limited time
permitted no more extended discus
sion OF the question, and he considered
this point sufficient to warrant him in
the refusal

Terrible Prairie Fires in Iowa and
Dakota.

Terrible fires ragged in the Big Sioux
valley in Iowa and throughout southern
Dakota, Saturday, but as the telegraph
poles are burned and the wires down
along the Sioux City and Pembina rail-
way, only incomplete reports have been
received. A merchant from Eden has
arrived at Sioux City and reports that
from Eden, which occupies an elevated
position, l3 farm houses could be seen
in flames at once on Saturday, and
that more than 40 farmers in that vicin-
alone have lost everything, the flames
travelled with such rapidity. A large
Norwegian church near Eden was de-
stroyed, and in the same neighbOrhoOd
II child was fatally burned, while its
father was terribly scorched in his eff
forts TO save its life. Northwest of
BelOit Norwegian named Nicholson,
working to save his property, was
caught in the fire and so badly burned
that he cannot live, and two other men
in the same locality persisted. In the
vicinity of POrtlandville not less than
20 families lost their hay, grain, ETC.
Eric Richardson, living near Elk Point,
lost Il large amount of grain, and the
school-house with all its contents was
burned. At White Swan, opposite
Fort Randall, the telegraph office with
all effects and the government stables
were burned, but the stock was saved
All together, immense damage has been
done, and the hardship to the settlers
is particularly severe. The grass grew
very rank last year, AMI the protracted
dry weather made it rich food for fire.

~ The Oliver Cameron trial in
Washington, and the impeachment of
DIR. Talmage's veracity before the Pres
bytery at New York, is exciting con-
siderable interest in political and re-
ligious circles. In the first case the
public sees foolish old man, and a
smart and wicked woman, claiming
damages for the non fulfilment of a maj
riage contract. We should think the old
man could more comfortably foot the
bill than marry the woman. Altogether
the publication of the trial is an offence
to the pure morals of our home circles.
The second case goes to prove that old
SAINT Paul knew pretty well the nature
of his calling, and the dangers to which
he was exposed as public man, when
he said: "This one thing do" We
trust Mr.. Talmage will honor the con-
hdence the people have given him as a
minister, and learn that editing paper
and preaching the gospel don't 90 very
