VIRGINIA'S FIRE RECORD.
THE EASTERN LUNATIC ASYLUM
LAID IN ASHES.

Not One of the Inmates Burned-An
Electric Light Wire the Cause of the
Calamity-The Town of Suffolk Des-
trOyed-Banks, business Houses and
Private Residences Swept Away BE
fore n High Wind.
WILLIAMSBURG, June Sat 70 O'Clock
last night fire broke out in the right wing
of the centre building of the Eastern Lu-
natic Asylum here, and before it could be
got under control every thing was de-
stroyed.. The buildings burned comprise
the original ones of the institution erected
over a hundred years ago. There were
200 female patients in the burned build
ings, but all of them were rescued except
one, Miss Smith of SpOtsylvania county,
who was burned 10 death. Another pa
tient, Mrs Jeffries, after being brought out
of the bullding wandered away and was
found this morning drowned in creek
near by. The female patients were taken
to William and Mary College, where they
were temporarily cared for. The other
wards contained nearly 800 male patients.
These wards were quickly emptied and
the unfOrtunates were turned loose, but
did not wander off, being generally tract
able.
When it was found that the fire was
bCbblhS UbgOhO NOAAAAuis aAA was hVAS-
graphed for from Richmond, and a steamer
reached here from that city at about
O'Clock this morning, but the fire had then
done its worst. The Richmond firemen,
however, went to work and did good SER
vice.
None of tho male wards were burned,
they being located in buildings partially
disconnected from those destroyed, and
strong wind blowing from them.
The total loss is estimated at from $780,
600 to $4,000. The insurance is about
1000. The fire is believed to have result
ed from some trouble with electric light
wires, as it was first discovered where
the wires entered the right wing of the
building.
The burnt buildings were all of brick.
The flames burnt steadily, but not very
rapidly. The excitement among the in
mates was very great, particularly so
among the women, as their wards were
in the burning building. Their screams
and cries were piteous. A number OF
them were hard TO manage, and
that they were kept from rushing back
into the burning buildings. -Four large
buildings belonging to the asylum yet re-
main, and DR.. A. MOncure, the Superin-
tendent, states that by crowding the
patients can be accommodated in them
until additional quarters are provided.
The records of the Institution were gotten
out safely. Much of the furniture was
also saved. The total loss viii doubtless
reach $l50,000, upon which there is an in-
surance in local companies of only 100000.
Miss Smith, who was at first reported
burned to death, was found alive to-day
near the asylum, so there is only one life
lost-that Of the patient who wandered
away and was drowned in the creek. This
is "A most remarkable fact, when it is con
sidered that there were nearly 800 patients
to look after, half of whom were in the
burned buildings.

A STATES TAXES.
An Important Decision by Comptroller
Durham Affecting Several States.

An Important Decision by Comptroller
Durham Affecting Several States.
WASHINGTON, June S.-Comptroller
Durham has just rendered an important
decision as to whether the debt due 10 the
State OF Mississippi by the governments
shall be paid or applied as credit against
direct taxes certified as due from said
State by a aiormer Comptroller. COmptrOl-
Ter Taylor certified that the direct
taxes appOrtiOned by the act Of 1861
were due from the State. The greater
portion Of these remain unpaid, and the
State stands charged with them on the
books Of the department. Under this
certificate there is now due to the State
on account of commissions on net pro-
ceeds OF sales Of public lands therein AN
amount less than the balance OF
taxes unpaid, and charged as
stated. Section 1866 of the Revised
Statutes requires the accounting officers
to withhold payment from any person
who is IN arrears 30 the government. and
to make set Oh. Two questions arise:
]. Is the State la its corporate capacity
indebted 10 the United States on account
OF direct taXesy 2. II not, how far forth is
the present Comptroller bound by tle
certificate OF Comptroller Taylor in apply
ing the provisions Of section 1866 of the
Revised Statutes.
Comptroller Durham holds that under
the constitution direct taxes were ASSESS
ed against the citizens OF the State, and
not against the State, and hence we're not
an indebtedness OF the State in its corpO-
rate capacity; that the certificate Of
former Comptroller l., under section iJl
Revised Statutes and Supreme Court ie-
cisOns, binding upon a successor and SUBJ
Ject 10 revision only by Congress or the
courts. lie decides. therefore. % withhold
final action upon the matter uutil the at
tentiOn Of Congress can be called 10 the
same, which will be done In bis next an
nual report 10 the Secretary OF the Trea-
sury. The principal involved in this
case affects a good many States and
very considerable amount.

COTTON CROP PROSPECTS.
THE MONTHLY REPORT or THE
NATIONAL EXCHANGE.

some Striking Contrasts But the Best
Season for Several Years-A Better
Average over tho Whole Belt-An In
crease of over Half Million Ia Acre.
age.
NEW ORLEANS, June s.--The monthly
report of the National Cotton Exchange
concerning the growing cotton crop says
that the season presents some startling
contrasts with the one preceding, audi
while attended with several drawbacks
for the cotton planter, it may be cbarac-
terlzed, taking the whole cotton belt aud
all things considered, as the best for seY-
eral years. Every cool and dry spring re-
tarded planting from one to two weeks,
but this crop was we'll pitched, lands
We're properly worked,and an exceptional
stand has been secured. Insects have
rayaged the crop and the young
plants have died from cold over a limited
area, and the plant over the entire beltup
TO the middle Of May was Of small growth,
but has had the advantage Of careful at
tentlOn and cultivation, which has been
bestowed on IL by reason Of favorable
working conditions and an abundance Of
labor. In May warmer weather and
showers brought up the condition
Tepidly. In some sections rains
were needed to germinate the seed
and bring good stands. In
other places rain was necessary to give
Yigor 10 the young plants. While there
are complaints, mainly from the northern
section Of the belt, or rather from the
upper counties Of some States, of excessive
rains, a careful analysis of the situation
Justliies the assertion that the damage
from this cause, while feared in some
localities, had not really been yet in-
tlicted. Early June weather, therefore,
In these sections may be watched with in-
terest.
Taken all together, the May weather
conditions can be regarded as very favor
able, and they have brought the crop TO a
far higher status than existed last year at
corresponding date. La comparing with
1884 the general features, as will be no.
ticed in our review Of States, and by an
examination OF the temperature and rain
fall tables, there IL "a better average for
this season over the whole belt. To con-
trast, briefly, east Of the Mississippi river
the condition Is fully as good or better
than last year. Westo it the situation is
decidedly more favorable, while in Missis-
sippi bottoms there is a marked advantage
in every respect.
These contrasts are presented merely
for the benefit of tdOse.interested in the
staple that each may draw conclusions,
ns II Is not the intention TO give in figures
OF percentage an estimate Of the varying
prospects Of the crop at so very early
stage OF its growth. The acreage has
been largely increased and is reported as
follows: Virginia 100, South Carolina
102, Florida l0i, Tennessee 102, Arkansas

more, who was arrested for perjury on
the trial Of Mackin and Gallagher in the

perjury consisted in an attempt to show
that the tickets found in the Eighteenth

that they were printed after the election
and substituted for ballots regularly
cast. Gilmore now makes affidavit that
the scheme OF perjury was prepared by
Mackin. lie also confessed to-day that
he (Gilmore) participated in the substi-
tuition OF the ballots, and declares that
the entire affair was arraugei by Mackin,
