THE ICE PALACE FINISHED.


Brilliant Scenes at the Winter CarnI-
val.
MONTREAL, Jan. 27.-At noon to-day the
last block of ice was put the palace and
tho British flag was run up to the top of the
flagstaff. The central tower now stands
ninety-six feet and two inches from the
ground and the palace is lighted up with
electric lights and makes a most beautiful
appearance, eclipsing both previous ones.
Tonight the first fancy dress entertainment
at Victoria rink took place and the scene was
one of bewildering beauty. Three figures in
plaster of Paris stand in the center of the
rink. One representing the Queen is bust
standing on an ice pedestal fifteen feet
high. A man ten feet high in sitting pos
ture represents ''Snow" and is accoutred in
full snow shoeing costume. Opposite sitting
down is ''Ice," young lady skater who, look
ing up oithe Queen, presents her with q bou-
quet of flowers. Between these three figures
stands a fountain throwing q column of
water twelve feet high upon which prismatic
lights were thrown. Other events of the
evening were volcanic fireworks ST. Hell
ems Island and march of snow shoers with
torches from the island to the city, also the
opening of the trique bleue toboggan slide,
which was a repetition of the scenes on Mon
treal hill last night

LUNATICs HOUSED BY FIRE.
Flames Break Out At Dead of Nigh,
In An Insane Asylum.

In An Insane Asylum.
+ INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 27.-Shortly after 2
o'clock this morning fire broke out in the
engine room of the female department of the
insane hospital west of this city and before
the flames could be stayed they had destroyed
the chapel, kitchen, bakery, engine room,
laundry, employees sleeping apartment and
the officers dining rooms. These were con
tanned in two brick buildings in the rear of
the main building and nothing remains of
them but the walls. The loss to the State
will be about $50, 200 and in addition the
employees lose small amounts, none of which
is covered by insurance, The State insures
none of its property. During the excitement
caused by the fire some of the patients es-
capped from their wards. Search was imme-
diately instituted for them and they were
recaptured unhurt None of the seventeen
hundred patients in the institution were
hurt and there was violent outbreak
among them.

other vessels could be seen straining to
break away from their anchorage. The old
est sailor on board never experienced such
wind before.

THE PASSING OF ARTHUR.
A Brilliant Scene at the White House
The Last Official Reception of the
Present Administration.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The ''passing of
Arthur" was commemorated this evening by
the last of the Presidents official receptions
In point of attendance and gorgeous costumes
the occasion was quite notable. Amongst
the very large assemblage of diplomats
Senators, Congressman, army and navy
officers and others present, there were so
many who had nothing to hope expect
from the outgoing President, and who might
have been expected to await the GLORIOUS
summer" to follow the rising ''Son of York, y
that the occasion was fitting recognition of
the manly decorum and exquisite tact with
which President Arthur has discharged the
social duties of the chief executive of the ma
ton. The President was assisted by Mrs.
McElroy, who wore handsome blue brocad-
ed satin; Mrs. Frelinghuysen, black velvet
and white feathers; Mrs. McCulloch, white
satin; Mrs. Hatton, white brocade; Mrs.
Brewster, bronze and terra Gotta satin, and
Mrs. Teller, black velvet and jet The
dresses of the ladies of the Presidents official
household were only semi-decollette and a
similar rule of costume prevailed with a few
marked exceptions among the other ladies in
the brilliant and fashionable assemblage.

ratification of the Nicaragua treaty. He
maintained that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty

on both sides of the question and without
reaching vote the matter was dropped for

Urges a Murderer to Confess en- His
Death Bed and Clear an Innocent
Man.
Boston, Jan. 27.-On January 10, 1880,
Mrs Maria L. Crue, of Groton, the wife of
Joseph Crue, was outraged, shot and killed
in her own house. The murder created in
tense excitement for months. Stearns Ken
dali Abbott was convicted of the crime and
sentenced to be hanged: While the gallows
was building to hang him, through the in
PREVENTION of Wendell Phillips, Abbott's SEN
tence was committed to imprisonment for
life. He is now in the Charlestown prison.
Joseph Crue, husband of the murdered wo-
man. has Just died in Worcester county
town and it is reported that before he died he
made full confession of the murder of his
wife
A reporter called at the prison to-day, but
Warden Usher would not allow him to see
Abbott lest the latter might gain hopes that
should prove ilfusory. Abbott, the war
den added is an industrious, well-d disposed
man of considerable ingenuity and very use
full about the prison. District Attorney
Stevens who conducted the case against Alb
bolt, does not believe the story of Cruces al
legged confession. The theory that Crue
murdered his wife examined and dis
posed of during Abbott's trial. Chief Wade
of the State police and State Detective Innis
give the story of Crues confession good
deal of credence The former said he never
had believed in Abbott's guilt and that
hour of Crue's time on the day of the mu1-
der had never been accounted for.
The Alleged Confession Denied.
AVER, Mass, Jan. 27.-The story of
death bed confession having been made by
Joseph Crue that he guilty of the muir
der for which Stearns Kendall Abbott is now
imprisoned does not bear investigation. The
physician to whom the confession was said to
heva been made denies the tr1th of the story
