A fire broke out in the Minnesota state
prison at Saltwater at 1l:45 Friday night,
and in spite of every effort all the buildings
were destroyed The prisoners, including
the Younger brothers, were taken out and
placed under strong guard in the yard.
The fire caught under the main Office Of the
car company, and when the fire department
arrived it was impossible to do any effective
work on account of the dense smoke. AT |
o'clock it became evident that the prison
was doomed, and Company X of the State
militia was called upon to assist in removing
the convcs. About $50 in all were
shackled together by means of long
fine chains and removed to diff
ferent points in the prison grounds. The fire
spread with remarkable rapidly, and starting
at the east end of the prison soon reached the
wardeu's office and the rooms occupied by
the guards. 1t then spread to the Offices of
the Northwestern Car company, the entire
font part of the building being mass of
flames. From the office of the Car company
the fire spread to the kitchen and eating
room of the prison adjoining, in which the
chapel is situated, All the above named de-
partments were Quilted. How the fire start
ed is mystery. The loss is about $50, 000
All the property was owned by the State, and
was partially insured.
The fire was marked by an act of great
herolsm by George p. Dodd of Saltwater, II
member of company X. Immediately after
the convcts had been removed a cry was
raised that man WAS confined in cell No.
200. The crowd stood aghast at the horrible
fate in store for the poor wretch, and many
faces were turned in the direction of the cell
occupied by the apparently doomed man.

less time than it can be recorded he had
reached the cell of the convict, and in a few
minutes he returned, bearing the rescued
prisoner.

DTN yslTE DISAyOwED
by the vice President of the lrisI,
League.

CINcGYNATI, o., Jan. 24.-The CONNER
cial Gazette will publish tomorrow an open
letter from John Byrne, vice president of
the Irish National League of America, to
Patrick Ford, editor of the Irish World, tax
ing strong exceptions to Ford's call for ''an
emergency fund" to be subject to his judg
mcnt alone, without accountability, for the
purpose of waging war with England, Byrnc
claims that such a course as this fund implies
will be regarded by all civilized Nations as
guerilla warfare, revolving to the belligerent
usages OF the age, and they will be bound
from self interes. to assist England in crush
isgit. He protests against allowing Ford
and Rosa and that class to fix the standard
by which 95 per cent of Irishmen, and Irish
politics, shall be measured. Byrne closes by
saying he believes he can rely on the major
ity OF the Irish element in America, includ-
ing the business and professional classes to
support this declaration.

CLAIMS FOR MARYLAND
SLAVES.

The people Of the South have not
yet abandoned all hope of remunera-

who think they have, the following let
ter written to the Baltimore AMERICAN,
by Mr.. b. G.. Harris is respectfully re-
ferred:
There are two debts OF large amOunts
which l think the government should not
hesitate to pay or settle satisfactorily,
now that it has the ability. Ono is the
claim for French spoilation. The other
claim is for the negro slaves in Maryland,
and other border States, which the Fed
eral Government took from their owners,
avowedly for public use, and which tho
constitution which Congress swore to
support declares cannot be done without
fair COMPENSATION. The amount due
citizens of Maryland for slaves thus
taken, at $500 each, is sec, 156, 700 aud
the whole amount due the four border
States is about 1929, 100000. President
Lincoln and the Congress during his ad-
ministration, by their course on the sub

PENALTIES FOR LIQUOR SELLING

Mr.. EDITOR.--In TIE Wig of March
29th there is paragraph in reference to
the non: payment of fines by the parties
who have been convicted of violating our
prohibitory law, which suggests the in
quiry-has there not been undue lean
fancy exercised towards said culprits.
The statute provides as the penalty for
a first offence, fine not less than $50
nor more than $500, with costs of prose-
cution, or 30 days imprisonment in the
County Jail, or both at the discretion Of
the Court; for subsequent convictions,
fines Of not less than 5000 nor more than
$500, or 60 days imprisonment, or both,
at the discretion OF the Court; the Gull
prit to 'stand committed till said fines
are paid" Are We to understand that
this most vital part of the penalty is not
in force. or can be nulltied by any provis-
ion of an nsolvent law? 1t looks more like
a wiley dodge upon the part of law
breakers, than any just claim of exemp-
tion to which an honest debtor may be
entitled. The people Of Cecil county,
who declared their Judgment o smphat-
ically by majority of nearly l,700. will
not rest satisfied TO have unprincipled
violators of the law 20 positively scott
free after conviction, by mere evasion
of the express provision of the law.
The informer should certainly be en-.
coulaged. if the offender is to be con-
victed and though the name is odious it
must be remembered the odium attaches
not to the honest testimony absolutely
necessary to conviction. in any case. but
entirely to the motives and means which
may be or may not be disreputable.

PREACHING UNDER DIFFICULTIES,

On last Sunday evening one of Elk

plans of mice and men, gang aft aglee."
Among the molly throng, and slightly
under the influence of tangIe foot, was
one whose birth place was the Emerald
Isle, and whose religion is, well, not
Methodist. Seeming TO realize for n mo-
ment the honor due the preacher of the
gospel, he exclaimed, FAKE OFT your hats
livery man Nv yez, have yez no respect for
the mon." The minister was taken back
for an instant but hi kept on speaking.
Then Mike, apparently regretting his
former speech in the preachers favor.
came out again, this time louder than
before. IT'LL the lower ragions wild yez
preacher and retired amidst general dis
order. Again the preacher took up his
exhortations. this time rebuilding his
efforts, but Mike was not yet satisfied,
but he came again. also rebuilding his
efforts, Till the lower ragions wild yeZ

made charge on him, vanly attempting
to drive him to his lava beds, but Mike
resisted the charge. and then came
general melee. The small man so bent
on good works, made his escape first,
then followed the minister. During tine
tracas the "biggy bossy" interfered,
which SO enrased Mike that he dressed
himself in his best, aud left the shore Tor
