AtCfatG Revelation,
Especial Telegram to the Globe

Especial Telegram to the Globe
ST.. PETER, Nov. 16, A. M.-The most ir-
tense excitement prevails in the community
In consequence of wild reports that large
number of the inmates of the hospital were
burned to death. The first report that
came to your correspondents ears
was that nearly two hundred had
fallen victims to the flames. This
proved on Investigation to be greatly ex-
aggerated, and at this writing it is pretty
certain that not more than ten, and pos
sibly less than half that number we're burned.
None of the names can be ascertsined to-
night. In fact, in the excitement and con.
fusion, coupled with the fact that the asy-
lum is a mile and half from the telegraph
Office, renders it next to impossible to give
any reliable particulars beyond the general
announcement of the calamity.

JUDGE DAVIS AND HEWITT.

The Judge Acknowledges the Mistake On
Which His TRADE Against Hewitt Was
Based, But Sticks to His Dirty Party
Work Though the UnderpinniDg is Cut.
New YoRK, Nov. 15.-Judge Davis, at a
late hour tonight, sent q communication to
the newspaper offices, in which he says he is
satisfied that in giving summary of Joseph
Hart's testimony in the Philip case from his
memory and recollection, he fell into an
error which, in justice to Mr.. Hewitt, it is
his duty to correct. That the text of the
letter had been published and the ithograph
or fac simile had not, and it was to deter
mine whether the letter should be
Autographed and published in fac simile
that Hart sought the opinion of Hewitt and
others as to its genuiness. In every other
particular, the judge says, he believes the
evidence and all the inferences made by
him from it are fully justified by the facts,
and then the judge goes on to show how the
error happened to be made and to inquiries
whether it materially signihed in forming q
correct opinion of his conduct in the affair.
He said the letter as at first published
would have fallen still born
as silly ard usuless forgery
II 1t haQ not Deen TAKEN up and carried,
through photographs and lithographic fac
SMILES, en- the shoulder of the national COM
mittee, and of MIR. Hewitt's stronger char
acter. Nobody charged or suspected Mr..
Hewitt of being guilty of forgery, but the
belief was and is still, that but for him and
his cause the forgery would never have been
picked out of the gutter in which it was
born and hauled into the contest with the
deadly power of his endorsement and that
of the national committee. The judge then
adds: Some sections of the testimony of
Hart, tending, he thinks, to show his (Judge
Davis') mistake was one almost of mere
phraseology. He then goes on to say that
the testimony had not been written out, and
he had relied on his brief notes of the most
important points.
Iu conclusion Judge Davis says: "It is a
great mistake in Mr.. Hewitt to suppose that
his testimony and his conduct were not le-
ultimately of a judicial criticism when he
appeared as witness under such circum-
stances, and my opinion in the case, for
whatever it may be worth, will stand unal-
terable as to him except in the single par
ticular above suggestion"

The Governors Aotton.

The greatest excitement prevailed in this
city wherever the news of the oonfagration
spread: A telegram was received here ad-
dressed to Gov. Piilsbury-a similar one
having been sent to Minneapolis asking
what accommodations could be had in the
two cities for the six hundred and fifty IL
sane who were burned ont of their home.
The telegram further stated that the patients
were surrounded with citizens and we're tenn
porarily safe. To this Gov. Pillsbury replied
as follows:
To VIM. Schimmell, Secretary Board of Trus-
tee,, st. Peter, Mimi:

MAJOR a. COLEMAN MACY

Died at Hudson, N. Y, Sunday Morning,
Probably from Hem0rrhsges.
Governor Pillsbury, yesterday morning,
received a teIegraphic message from Hudson,
N. Y, signed by Sarah Coleman, announc-
ing the death, in Hudson, Sunday morning,
of A. Coleman Macy, late the governor g
clerk. Major Macy. whose military title
came from his commission as mastering
officer of volunteer militia of Minnesota, was
born at Hudson, N. Y, Jan. -, 1874. He
was descended from one of the early settlers
of New England, and for two centuries his
family has contributed to the civil service of
the country many able and some eminent Of
fcials. He became resident of Minnesota
in 1873, and in November of that year was
appointed clerk of the executive department
by Gov. Austin, position which he held un-
der Cows. Austin, Davis and Pillsbury until
June last, when he resigned and
was soon after succeeded by Mr.. Frank II.
Carleton. When he came West Maj. Macy
was afflicted with alarming Indications of
consumption, including hemerrhages of the
lungs. But he gradually seemed to be
gaining upon the disease while resident
here and further seemed to be still gaining
in strength and health, after leaving here
for the East, where he was married in Au-
gust last to the widow of his cousin. At the
time of his marriage he contemplated
spending the winter in Europe and his
friends shared his hopes that in travel and
recreation he would be fully restored to
health. The telegraphio message gives no
particulars but it is presumed that, as has
frequently been the cass with consumptives,
apparently relieved by residence in Min
nesota, the return to the East brought on
the disease again with rapidly increasing de-
struction of the vital powers.
Major Macy was notably good clerk, be-
ing we'll informed on about all subjects con-
nected with his duties, and an excellent PEN
man with good taste in the details of his
work. He was always courteous to those
having business in the executive depart
ment, and, through his native politeness,
pleasant manners and kindly interest in all
about him, came by common consent to be
regarded as master of ceremonies about the
capitol and on all official occasions. All who
were well acquainted with him will sincerely
regret his death.

not consistent with the amendment of th'
constitution referred to. Ali men should bt
enlisted who are qualified, and assigned tt
regiments regardless of color or previous
condition. Such has been the law and usage
In the navy for years, and the army would
soon grow accustomed to it. No body o.
men on earth has more reverence for the
constitution and laws than the army
and pledge my own, and the good
faith OF all In the service, to enforce
faithfully every part of the constitution ol
the United 6tstes and every law made in pur.
suance thereof. Gen. Schofeld is abund-
antly able to enforce the laws and regula-
tons of the academy. The education al
Fort Monroe under supervision of Col.
Getty is purely professional, and limited
chiefly to the artillery arm of the service.
This education can not be found in anothei
college in America, and is valuable because
the use of artillery Is limited to war on q
large scale and can not be learned in our
Indian wars or in common life. When the
necessity arises for artillery officers, as In on,
Mexican war and also our civil war it is
sudden and immediate. This school costs
nothing but the ordinary garrison expenses.
still desire to establish similar school
for infantry and cavalry at Lsavenworth as
soon as the condition of Indian affairs will
admit of the release of some good infantry
regulars from the distant frontier, which I
hope will occur within the next year. In
conclusion beg to state that the entire
army is in my opinion as patriotic, as pa
tient, as willing to encounter danger and
hard service as at any former period in our
history. The rapid extension of railroads
and mails has much improved the general
condition and contentment of the officers
and men, and they simply suffer the usual
fate of peace in slow promotion and appre-
hensive of changes which never come. The
country is so large that regimentai transfers
and changes are costly and the consequence
has been that many regiments have remain
ed longer in remote quarters than seems
fair; but have endeavored to make regi-
mental changes as far as possible, consi stent
with the annual appropriations"
SURGEON GENERAL BARNES.
Surgeon General Barnes in his annual re-
port thinks an appropriation of $250,0
will be required for use of the medical
department for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1882, for expenses of purveying depots,
for pay of employees, private physicians
and nnrses employed in emergencies at forts
or stations, and for other miscellaneous ex-
penses of the medical department.. Gen.
Barnes earnestly recommends an appropria-
tion foa new fire proof building, adequate
for uses of the medical museum and librsry.
The cost of such building he estimates at
$250.0OO.

The BUILDINGS.

The Minnesota Hospital for the Insane
was incorporated by the legislature of 1865.
It was locared on tract of land about q
mile south of st. Peter, containing 21O acres,
which was donated to the State by the citizens
of that town. The central building was four
stories in height, eox12o feet. There were
three sections and two returns on each side,
three stories high. The first section was
103x4I fest; the first return 113x41 feet;
the second section 105x41 feet; the second
return s0x41 feet; and the third section
65x41 feet. The entire cost of the building
was, according to official reports, $502,-
141.7S. To this must be added the cost of
furniture, probably $4s,Ooo, making the
total loss to the State very near $3.50, 900.
The building had..a capacity for accommo-
dating $50 patients, and the institution has
Of late been taxed to its utmost to accom-.
modate those with minds diseased. The
building was heated by steam, and amply
supplied with water. The annual cost OF
its maintenance has been about $125,OOO.

the flames seem to have crept
along through to these passage-wsys and to
have crawled up the wood work until the
whole inside was on fire. The many division
walls, however, rendered it slow work, and
it took some three hours before the
whole wing was ablaze. The officers
and attendants of the hospital, upon
the first discovery Of the fire
extended the hose through that part
of the building but which from lying unused
so long had become fattened, and it was
some twenty minutes before water could be
orced through 1t. Had 1t not been for this
the fire could have been subdued before
much damage was done. Every effort, was
however, made, and, although
the flames were somewhat
checked, they could not be stopped. Our city
hand fire company rallied at the first alarm,
and reached the ground as soon as team
could haul their hand engine up there.
Though not equal to the emergency it did
good service and finally saved all
but this one wing. As soon as
1t was found that the fire was likely
to prove serious, DR.. Barrett gave orders to
have all the patients released and cared for as
we'll as it was possible to do, bnt before the
fire was discovered one or two of the halls
had become choked with smoke, and 1t was
impossible to release all the patients.

The train from st. Paul with fremen and
