BURNED WITH FIVE LIVES.
Afflicted Psupers Meet With Terrible
Fate in Michigan.


JACKSON, MISS, Jan. 24.-The county
poor house was almost entirely destroyed
by fire this morning. There were 40 IN
mates, and all escaped but five, who
pershed in the flames. The remains of
the victims were brought to this city
to-day. The names of the dead are as fol-
lows:
Dolly Martin, aged 60, insane, an IN
mate for II years.
Kate Avery, aged 10, insane, an inmate
for 10 years.
Jane Atkins, aged 70, insane, an inmate
for 10 years.
Zena BOynton, aged 80, deaf.
Charles Elliott, aged y, blind.
The building was situated in a lonely
spot four miles from the city. The fire,
the origin of which is unknown, broke
out in the kitchen, and the whole interior
was destroyed.
BLAZING IN A BRERZE.
The thermometer at the time registered
10 deg. below zero. All the inmates lost
their clothing, rushing out into the snow
in a semi-nude condition. Thirty of the
paupers were brought to this city and
housed. Some of these viii die from the
effects of their exposure.
John Doherty, hired man, brought
three of the lunatics down a fire escape
in his arms, thus saving their lives.
An imbecile boy 10 years Of age was
found in bed and was rescued by means
of the fire escape. There were only two
men beside the inmates about the place,
when the ire broke out, and they rescued
The inmates before other help arrived.

WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.
THE ELECTORAL COUNT BILL
APT 10 BE LAID ASIDE.

Wide Difference OF Opinion DeYel-
oped Among the Senators on the Meas
ure-The Dakota and Bankruptcy Blna
Next in der-POrter'a Chances in tha
House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The unfinished
business OF the Senate is the electoral
count bill. wide difference OF opinion
among the Republican Senators in respecu
to the important features Of this measure
was developed when 1t was last under dis
cussion, and some or them have expressed
wish that tinal action be delayed for a
time. No definite arrangement has been
made on this subject, but 1t is not I'M
probable that the bill Will be temporarily
laid aside after some further discussion.
Should this be done the Senate will be-
enabled to take up the Dakota bill or the,
bankruptcy bill as the next subject for,
consideration.
THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.
Senator Blair has given notice of his in,
tention TO cali up the educational bill az
the nrst convenient opportunity, but none,
is likely to occur during this week.
The bill to divide the Sioux Indian res
erVation has the first right OF considera-,
tion IN the morning hour under the five
minute rule, and Will probably be disposed
of tomorrow.
On Tuesday eulogies on the late Vices
President Hendricks will be delivered.
In the House tomorrow, after the call
OF the States for the introduction Of bills
is completed, the committees will have
opportunity to report any measures pre-
pared by them during the past week. The
most important bills now In condition to-
be reported are those extending the cir
culatlon of national banks. amending the
shipping laws and repeating the limita-j
ton ON the arrears OF the pension act.
NOT APT TO BE TAKEN UP.
1t is doubtful, however, whether any Of
these Will be reported in season to secure
action in the ''mOrning hour" during the.
week. The bill most likely to be taken
up tor action under the morning hour
call of the committees this week are
those iorieiting sundry unearned land
grants to railroads in certain Southern
states, and providing for the voluntary
retirement OF naval officers.
The MatsOn bill for increasing widows
pensions remains the unfinished business
for the House after the morning hour
Tuesday. The indications are that its
discussion is nearly exhausted and that
vote Will be reached early in the week.
The special order for Thursday is thede-l
livery of eulOgies upon the late Repre-.
sentative Ellwood, Of Illinois.
PoRTER's RELIEF.
Friday being private bill day an effort
may he made to secure consideration OF
the Fitz John Porter bill, which stands.
high on the calendar, but it is expected
that considerable debate will arise upon
this measure, in which event IL may 90
over without final action until the next.

IN VARIOUS POSITIONS.
The bodies were found in various posi-
tiOns, some with arms extended as If
about TO pursue their usual work, ana
others with arms and limbs contracted as
il in awIul agony. All were terribly
burned and blackened, and their distorted
features told of terrible su1erings; but
none were so mutiiated as the three re-
covered yesterday. One man was found
face down, with his head on his arm, as if
he had escaped the violence OF the eXplO-
sion, and assumed that position in the
hope OF finding sufficient air to prOl1ng
life until rescued. 1t is thought ali the
