HOUSE BURNED

About 4 o'clock, yesterday morning, the
residence of Mr.. Guss Hill, on south LAW
renee avenue, Just below the Wichita and
Western railroad, was burned to the ground
1t is generally supposed TO have been the
work of an incendia-y, as no one was IN the
house that night. Mr.. Hill was in Topeka
and Mrs. Hill was away from home that
night. When the FIRE was discovered the
house was nearly burned down, and, of
course. nothing could be done TO save It.
Everything in the house was consumed and
only the clothing that had b cen washed and
au, on the clothe. line were saved 1t Is
supposed to have been insured but the
amount of Insurance has not been learned

The Indianapolis sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1880-1904, 1885-02-09

TIE bill TO abolish the Office OF City AS
SCISSOR of Indianapolis should be passed at
once. and should take effect Immediately.
There is no good reason why it should be
made to take effect year hence. The pres
ent Assessor has done no work upon the as
sessment of 1885, and necessarily could no .
because it is only property on hand the LIST
OF April that can be assessed. To continue
him in Office another year to do the same
work that will be done by the Township As.
SCISSOR would be consummste folly. II would
incur heavy expense and subject the peo-
pie to the unnecessary and vexatious annoy
ance Of having their property listed twice
and by different persons. The Democratic
members from Marion County should not
forget their pledges.

ing letter 10 the New York World:
Will you please correct the impression that Will
be produced by the paragraph from your Wash
ington correspondent in this mornings World,
viz: that had been snubbed by Mr.. Irving? Mr..
Irving entertains for me, and has expressed 10
me, sentiments of respect and friendship which
regsrd as most sincere, and which cherish as an
honor. Meeting Mr.. Irving in Washington, D. c.,
OF his own wish he offered me, on Tuesday night
OF this week a box for Wednesday night to ear
Charles IL He kindly asked me to bring any
friends i wished. My attendant sent "Wednesday
afternoon to the manager to know the number of
seats in the box. and he being absent the note
was referred to Mr.. Irving. He declined opening
any letter not addressed 70 himself. That is all
there was OF it. HENRY WARD BEEcHER.
