more dreadful in loss Of life and physical in

hour this morning. It ia now known that at

Just before the south wall of the hotel fell upon
the Faxion Building. a number of persons besides
those of the fire Insurance patrol were inside the
latter building assisting to save goods, and
no immediate danger was apprehend-
cd. There are no means Of knowing
just how many of these volunteer
helpers were in the structure at the time, but
excavations have proceeded to extent which

fallen timbers, and were rescued alive about

Shelbyville Democrat.


The House of Representatives yesterday re-
fused to consider the appropriation bills This
they do whenever the subject is brought up.
The House forced the Governor to call an extra
session, with positive assurances that they would
take up the appropriation bills, pass them. and
adjourn within two weeks. The members have
lied and refused to make good their promises.
Instead of showing willingness to hasten legis-
lation, they have schemed and entered into col
fusion to retard it. The much -talked-of two
weeks has como and gone, and nothing has been
done, and every effort that has been made to
pass the appropriation bills has been defeated.
Speaker Jewett was called upon to denounce the
body savagely, because they persisted in making
asses of themselves and frlUtering away their
time at cost to the taxpayers of 81, 500 day;
but his remarks did no good. Indiana has had
many fool Legislatures, but the one now in
extra session takes the cake. The regular SEES
sion was not as bad, and needed no defense at
the hands of the Democratic party; bu- the
party can never defend the bad and suicidal con-
duct of the extra session. The appropriation
and the Soldiers Home bills should have been
passed at once, as promised, and the Democratic
party would have been spared the humiliating
spectacle of attempting to defend something
which is absolutely indefensible.
