Fire nj Williamsburg.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, June S. At
twelve o'clock last nighta fire broke
out in the right wing OF the centre
building Of the Eastern Lunatlc
Asylum here, and before itcould he
cot under control everything was
destroyed. The bindings burned
comprise the original ones OF the
institution anu were erected over
100 years ago. There were 200 ie
male patients in the building, but all
of them were rescued. One patient,
Mrs. JeiI'lies, after being brought
ont of the building, wandered away
and was found this morning drown
ed in a creek near by. All Of the
female patients were taken to vii
liam and Mary College, where they
were temporarily cared for. The
other wards contained nearly 800
male patients. These wards were
quickly cmptied and the nnfortun-
ates we're turned loose, but did not
wander off, being generally tracta-
BILE. Nome of the male wards were
burned, they being located in build
il es partially disconnected from
those destroyed, and ii strong wind
blowing from them. The fire re.
suited from IL cut out OF the electric
light wires, and it WAS first dIScov-
cred where tile wires entered the
right wing of the building.
The burnt buildings were all OF
brick. The flames burned steadily,
but not very rapidly. The excite
ment among the inmates was very
great, particularly among the wo-
men. as their wards were i'll the
burning buildings. Their screams
and cries were pteonS. a number
of them were hard to manage, and
it was with great difficulty that
they were kept from rushing back
into the burning buildings. -Four
large buildings belonging to the
asylum yet remain, and DR.. a. Mon
cure, the superintendent, states that
by crowdillg all the patients can he
accommodated in them until addl-
tional quarters are provided. The
records of the institution were got
ten outsalely. Much olthe furniture
was also saved. The total loss will
doubtless reach Sl50,OO0, upon
which there is an Insurance in local
companies of only S30,OOO.

In the Wing Of the 9th, Judge
J.Nbrook is delivered of q letter. 1t
is evidently an entering wedge
lie denounccs the Democrats and
bitterly complains that all Read

them. Just here is the Judges
grievance. We are very sure that
honest patriot, Frank Rutfiin, for
whom he complains so strongly,
holds no such ideas. Naturally
one is impellcd to ask, what does
the Judge wish? Is lie on his way
to the lonce hated) Republicans to
aid them to try to break down
Democracy, as he initiating the

Hasn't the gubernatorial humble

The vigilantes OF Amherst, Bed

cd the press and lawyers Of those
counties against defending crimi-
nails, OF publishing anything about
the late lynching in Bedford. under
penalty of like fate.o And TO this
lynchirg of Telry-horrible and
unmerciful-was made possible by
tie miscarriage Of justice in so
many cases. The tendency Of jul
ries is to be swayed by the elo-
quent presentment of counsel
while counsel resort to pictorial
and sentimental effort instead Of
evidence as argument. These have
created false sentiment which
has become prevalent, and has
steadily pushed forward till men
have come to believe that they can
kill with lmpnnity-and human
life is mere playtlling. The great
want in Virginia to-day is Hemp
jpdicially applied with relentless
celtainty-but never by Judge
Lynch. We have no sympathy
with the yigilantcs. The law is am
pie. Let 1t not be obstructed.-
Let good citizens uphold it with
strong hands. Away with that
mawkiSh sentimentalism, at once
an incentive to crime and foe to the
power Of justice.

in forty minutes, the veltlictguilty

Fha New York World.


The New York World is the greatest
paper of the age. From being the lowest
in circulation, patronage and influence
among the dailies of New York, it has
risen in about three years, under the di-
rection of Mr.. Pulitzer, to be the leading
one in ALL Its circulation last Sunday was
more than 100000, which was the limit Of
its mechanical capacity. New presses have
been ordered, and it will not be long before
the full capacity Of all will be taxed to sup
ply the demand for this now most popular
journal of the age. The World has ac-
compIished much in the way of reforming
abuses, and it deals blows at wrong-doine
everywhere In other ways, too, it has
accomplished wonders. When the Barthold
Statue committee had to cease work ON the
pedestal for want of funds, the World Un
dertook to raise 100000, the amount
necessary to complete the work, and il

The largest subscription was $1,000, made
by the proprietor Of the paper. 1t was il
every sense a popular subscription. the
amount being contributed in sums of ter
cents and upward, the contributors mum

scription being less than one dollar.
The World is Democratic, too, and the
only prominent and influential journal o

Political Notes.

State Senator John Callahan, who was
ousted from his position as foreman at the
Portsmouth IVA. navy-yard at the instance
of Senator Malone, and reappointed recently,
has declined to accept the position. Mr..
Callahan says he cannot accept office in the
yard, as it would prevent him from taking
part in politics this fail, and he prefers going
into other business to surrender. his political
liberty. He will take the field against the
Mahoneites, and will possibly run for the
Senate again on the straightout platform if
the Democrats make no nomination in the
Portsmouth district.
1t is officially announced that the Presi-
dent, since the beginning of his term, has
made 467 appointments of Postmasters, OF
which 274 were to vacancies caused by expira-
ton of terms or resignation, and 1873 in place
of suspended officers.
The Baltimore Sun says: Under the tenure
foffice act the collector of the port of Bal
eral incumbents will each close their terms of
four years early in 1886, and will be imme-
diately succeeded by Democrats. There has
been some pressure to have them removed
earlier, but an Eastern Shore leader last
week explained why this should not be done.
He said: "Their retention or removal could
not effect Mr. Gorman's chances, for his can
vass has been made already. The aspirant
for political honors on our shore who would
make his campaign as an opponent of the
senior Senator would be showed under. But
if the President were to remove tenure of
office incumbents before the expiration of
their termsthe Senate would not confirm them,
and those who hope to get the places do not
want the Senate TO turn them down. As to the
smaller places, such as the postoi6ces, they
are being cared for quite promptly, think. !"

The Duty of Maryland Democrats.

Under local law the police department
of Baltimore is required to take a census
Of the voting population of that city every
two years. Under this requirement a CEN
Sus has just been taken, and the totals show
a voting population of 1914, an increase
over 1888 of 1 ,as5-1628 white and 357
colored. Voters count for nothing unless
they register and cast their ballots. The
registration is short more than ten thous-
and, and the poll books show that several
thousand who register neglect to vote.
This shoald not be, and the Democrats of
the counties would like to see the Demo
Gratis of Baltimore do their best this fall.
See to it that every Democrat entitled to
vote has his name on the registration books,
and in November next casts ballot. Bal
timore should give twelve thousand Dem
ocratic majority this year, and the county
Democracy will swell this by from five to
seven thousand more This is the year
for the Democracy of Maryland to do its
best It is the duty of the party here to
do its best, not only for effect at home, but
on account Of the effect for good through
out the country. The results this year will
be regarded as an endorsement of the adj
ministration of national affairs by the Dem
ocrctic party, or the reverse, just as party
maiorities in the several states are main
tanned or increased, or fall off. Elsewhere
the outlook is good. Let not the Demo
Gratis of Maryland prove laggards.
