THE INDIAN SPRINGS FIRE.
Additional Particulars from the Scene

Additional Particulars from the Scene
of the COniagratiOn.
INDIAN SPRINGS, April 1S.-The most
serious cOntiagration that has ever visited
this community occurred at the Springs
this morning at , O'Clock. Golfers 'Mc-
IntOsh House, was entirely consumed,
the occupants barely having time to
escape. The house and contents are a
total loss. No insurance. The fire was
of incendiary origin, and was first dis
covered in the store of Colonel H. j. La
mar, opposite the hotel. The front door
was found open and the building saturated
with oil around the fire. All efforts to
subdue the flames were fruitless, and in
an hour after the discovery OF the fire the
hotel and four stores, furniture, stocks,
etc, were reduced to ashes, together with
the post office and contents. The follow
ing is an estimate of the loss, etc..
Golfers Hotel, furniture, etc., total
loss, no insurance; post office and con-
tents; II. j. Lamar, store and stock,
small insurance; Mrs. Allen, two stores,
unoccupied, no insurance; Saunders &
Lawson, store and stock, no insurance;
n. o. Alexander, liquors, etc, no in
surance. Total estimate $4,000.
This is a serious loss to this sold re-
Sort so near the opening of the season.
The Mcintosh House had just been thor
Oughly repaired, etc, and the loss falls
heavily on the proprietors, who have been
eXerting every effort during the past
months for better accommodation for
the vast numbers expected this season.
Other arrangements will be made at once
for the accommodation of a larger crowd
than has ever been known to
visit the springs heretofore. The
Elder and Warner Hotels, ac-
cOmmOdating upwards of five hundred
visitors, are now in full blast, and other
arrangements will be made at once for the
accommodation of one thousand or more,
and we have every assurance Of the In
dian Springs being the most popular re-
sort in the State this season. The East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
will give low rates and run excursion
trains during the season, placing this
famous spring in one hours ride from Ma
con and two from Atlanta. +.

BUTLER'S NIAGDALENE.
The Tewksbury Wrangle Continued at
Boston.

BosToN, April 19.-The sensational ma
ture of the Tewksbury AlmshOuse hear
ing yesterday served to draw large at
tendance to-day, and Gov. Butler on his
arrival was received with applause. A
wrangle between Governor Butler and
the opposing counsel promptly began,
Governor Butler endeavOring to protect
his witness from examination as to her
character. Counsellor Brown carried his
point, and succeeding in learning the
woman's name and establishing the fact
that she was fallen woman. The dis
cussion and evidence got far away from
the purposes of the investigation, and
much of the testimony is described as I'M
fit for publication. This woman testified
that the almshOuse people attempted to
poison her at the instigation of her father
Another female witness told a story
nearly as incredible as that of the preced-
ing witness, but on cross-eXaminatiOn
she acknowledged that she had been in
confinement for year for drunkenness.
The dispute between Governor Butler and
the 7cOunsel for the almshouse authOri-
ties was decidedly acrimonious because of
the latter's exposure Of the character of
some of the witnesses,

other of the men charged with participate
ing in the murder Of Lord Cavendish and
Under Secretary Burke, was placed on
trial this morning. Messrs. Sullivan and
McInerney were appointed by the Court

Judge O'Brien having complied with the
request of DR.. Webb and Mr.. Adams to
be relieved from further duty in defend
ing the accused men. A jury was then
sworn in. One of the members is Par
nellite 1t is consequently expected
that the jury will fail to agree on a ver-
dict. The evidence of the witnesses for
the Crown was mostly a repeti-
tion of that given in the cases
of Joe Brady and Dan Curley.

had resolved to murder Colonel Hillen and
Mr.. Burke in consequence of an article
that appeared in the FFeeHldn'S journal,

change of the officials at Dublin Castle,
which had become an Augean stable. This
same statement was made byCarey at the
preliminary examination of the prisoners,

tee, had charged Carey, who was Town

BATTLES ON THE BORDER.
RUNNING FIGHTS BETWEEN
TROOPS AND APACHES.

The Redskins Led by Desperate Ex-
United States Agent-BOasts that
the Whole Band Has Been Wiped Out
American and Mexican Troops Con-
centrating.
TUCSON, A. T., April ia dispatch
from Hermoslllo, Mexico, says: The de-
tachment of troops which followed the
Apaches from southeast Ures had sew
eral running fights with the Indians from
Ures 10 GambOis and claimed to
have killed nearly the whole band. After
losing the trail of the rest some of the
soldiers visited Candies, where soldier,
who was in the campaign last year, re-
cOSnized white man who was with the
Indians at that time acting as chief. In
one of the fights this soldier was wounded
and left on the field for dead, but was con-
scious. From his description of the
Apache chief it was thought to be
l.. y. Streeter, formerly United States
Agent and a most desperate character.
For more than two years he as-been a
leader of band of Apaches. His cap
ture proves that the soldier was not mis-
taken in the man. Gov. Torres ordered
him to be brought to HermOsilIo, but it is
doubtful if he will be alive when the order
reaches the troops"

The Norwegian storthing has resolved

The Norwegian StOrthing has resolved
that every able bodied adult in Norway
shall receive a musket at the expense OF
the State, and be instructed in the use of
it, This measure will render the large
farms with their great number of servants
and plowmen little arsenals, and the war
like spirit of the farmers, whose repre-
sentatives in the Storthing are perhaps
the most radical Deputies existing, will
receive a new stimulant. The Importance
of the measure is clear, for, should the
conflict with the Crown bring about an
armed Intervention on the part of Sweden,
the leaders Of the Norwegian Parliament
would have large army Of-the people at
their back.
