An Attempt to Burn the Blind Asy-
,luni.


The fire department was called TO the
Blind Asylum shortly after l0.o'clcck
last night 10 put out FIRE that had just
been discovered in the broom shop. and
from its appearance then. seemed to bid
fair to consume the whole shop, il not
the entire building.
Fne broom shop is In the rear part OF
the north wing OF the main building and
the fire conld easily have spread to the
main building Over the room on the
6rst f,or, which was used as broom
shop, several OF the pupils employed in
the shop slept. These we're first to dis.
cover the 6re and give the alarm. The
he'd In which they slept was close TO a
partition wall which was continued below
the basement. They felt that this was
hot and although no smoke was noticed
they made an investigation and found
the room below in flames The fire seems
to have originated in the basement helow "
the broom shop and passed up between
the paris OF the partition
There had ben no FIRE in or about this
place during the day, the rooms, like the
main hnilding. being heated wi'h steam.
The Ioss will amount to about 81 900 on
building aud stock on which the State
carried no insurance. Much Of the loss
is from water with which alt the stock
on hand and machinery was thoroughly
drenched.
There was in the chop at the time 40
doz n brooms, all Of which were spoiled
and anout 5000 worth of broom corn.-

OF them. Without this Endorsement they
could not have received pay for the time
they were absent This is the second
piece of crookedness traced to this man
Joslyn. The first was his questionab BILE
connection with the Lemon Fitzgerald
matter, and this last transaction shows
that he is willing 10 lend himself to al
most any scheme.
The division OF. which Rathbone is
chief, was shown to be wholly inefficient
for the work 1t was attempting to do.
N 1t only was Rathbone wanting in quail
itication. but Welty, his principal hench-
man, and the assistant be left in charge
OF the division while he was away at Gin,
cinuati engaged in politics, was frequent
iy drunk while in the office and the d.
vision, as Ma or Clarke says, became
greatly demoralized and in bal state Of
discipline generally.
The criticisms on this division bv
Commissioner Clarke aud Mr.. Sawyer, AN
expert in his Office, have caused rup-
ture between the Commissioned aud Saw.
yer on the one side and Dudley and
Rsthbone on the other. These parties
have crossed each other in different
points in their testimony, and are at log.
gerheads generally. 1t is favorable
omen, and had this condition existed al
the beginning OF the investigation, the
committee would have had much easier
work. As it was, every tact at the he.
ginning had to be dug out, and now
when the investigation must soon close
for want OF time, much valuable infor-
nation is volunteered by the employees
themselves.
The testimony taken is already quite
voluminous, aud it is impossible to give,
in this space, even asynopsis OF what the
witnesses tell. After the testimony is
all in, shall try to present some further
points Dudley is now explaining him
self. Xxx.

Ohio LiUuOr Legislation.

We find in our exchanges the follow
ing action of the Ohio Legislature on
the liquor question::
The Legislature spent the greater part
Of Feb. 26, in the consideration Of
resolution, which was the product of the
Democratic majority, proposing to sub
nit to vote of the people proposition
for liquor license amendment to the
constitution There are but 60 Dem
ocratic members in the House, and il
required 63 votes to adopt the resolu-
ton. Last week the Republicans held q
caucus. and IS there we're four out of the
45 members who wanted to vote for the
license amendment in accordance with
the wishes OF their constituents in Cleve-
land and Cincinnati, il was decided that
in case there should be some OF the
Democrats absent and the votes Of the
four Republicans would not adopt the
resolution they should vote for tue sa ne,
but in case their votes would result 10
the adoption OF the resolution they we're
to obey the mandate Of the caucus and
vote against the resolution. 4
All the Democrats were present, and
the four Republicans could not vote for
the resolution without adopting the
same. hence they refused to vote at all.
They were called to the bar OF the House
and censured for violating standing
rule by refusing to vote, and afterwards
a resolution was adopted censuling their
action in the most severe terms. The
members who we're censnred were Messrs
Burnett and Haley, OF Cleveland; Pell,
OF Cincinnati and Jones, OF Jsckson.
This settles the liquor legislation Tor
this winter, as the Democrats have fcsr-
ried out their promises to make an effort
to submit license amendment, but have
been defeated by the minority. The Re-
publicans claim they are not responsible,
and decided early in the session that
they would do n thing to help out the
majority on the liquor question. as they
had passed tax law which had been
declared unconstitutional by the supreme
court

GEN. SWAIM'S CASE.
The Court Martial Suspends Him
for Twelve Years.

WASHINGTON. D C, Feb. "a The
President has finally approved the dnd-
ings of the court martial which tried
Brig. Gen. Swain The verdict OF the
court is that Gen. Swain he suspende
from rank and duty for IL years, and TO
forfeit one halt his monthly pay during
that period.
This linding, which the President has
approved, was the third in this case.
The 6tst verdict OF the court suspend
ed the General from rank and duty for 8
years. Upon reconsideration the court
revoked Its former sentence and found
as follows:
"To be suspended from rank ard duty
for one year, with forfeiture OF all pay
for the same period; to bs reduced to
the grade OF Judge Advocate with the
rank OF Major in the Judge Advocate
Generals department"
This second finding the President
again returned, disapproved, on .he
ground that the sentence was not sulfi
cienlly severe, and also for the reason
that to place the accused in lower rank
in the department OF which the office
now held by him is part, is impossible
OF. enforcement bv the executive alone.
With this criticism before them the court
martial finally decided to suspend Gen.
Swain for twelve years.
President Arthur, while approving this
sentence as the best OF the three says it
is difficult to understand how the court
could he willing 10 have Gen. Swain re-
tanned as pensioner upon the armyreg
lister, while 1t expressed its sense OF bis
untituess TO perform the duties of his
important Office, in the two earlier sem
tences, under either OF which he would
have been deprived permanently OF bis
functions. The IL years suspension
dates beyond the time OF Gen Swaim'e
retirement.
