BLOOMFIELD, Ind, Dec. 20.-Last night
about II o'closk fire broke out in this place
and resulted IN the loss of fou- frame build
ings, two of which were occupied as rest
aurants, enc by real estate and insurance
agent and the fourth by Mrs. George +. Ho-
gle, milliIer. The fire originated in the
building belonging to William Haines and
occupied by Zimmerman, but soon spread to
the adjoining buildings. BY tearing down
one building the fire was prevented from do
ing any further damage. The Henderson
brick building adjoining the one in which
the fire originated was somewhat damaged.
The hardware store of Randen 6 Huff suf-
fers some loss froII water, and also Odd Eel
lows Hall. The losses are pretty heavy on
some, as all their means were invested in the
property destroyed. The Henderson build
Ing and the firm of Randen & HUFF are fully
protected from loss by insurance. At this
time it is impossible to give any true &C
count of the losses, as the insurance on the
buildings and goods destroyed Is small on
account of the high rate of insurance. Two
years ago this week our town was visited by
a fire which swept away nearly one block of
buildings in the adjoining square.

But this appears to be mistake. Cen
turtles ago this secret order sprung up In
China and hourished so amazingly that
within the next hundred years IL became
q serious menace TO the empire. AT
length the attempt to put the Hip-Ye-
Tong down resulted in an insurrection
that was waged bitterly for sew
eral years, but at length, the en-
peror obtaining the upper hand,
the heads of several of the leaders
were cut off and the rest escaped into the
provinces. There they and their de-
scendants have remained ever since,
sworn enemies of the government. Their
lodges are maintained in secret, for death
is the reward Of the Hip-Ye-Tong mem
bers. When the Chinese emigration first
turned towards America, the Hip-Ye-Tong
seized the opportunity to establish itself
in new world, and the adherents of the
order flocked hitherward in great num-
bers. A writer in the Graphic recently
gave an interesting account Of the work
ings of the order in this country. The
society organized itself into supreme
and subordinate lodge, elected judges,
court officers, priests and constables, and
set up government. There was
no appeal from its decisions, and its
MASTER OF THE HIP-YE-ToNG.
sentences were carried out with the ut
most cruelty and yindictiveness. The ex-
ecutiye officers of the society were called
Highbinders, and bloodthirsty gang of
assassins they were. IL one Chinsman
owed another, he was summoned before
this secret tribunal and placed upon trial
without benefit of counsel. The plaintiff,
being usually the richer man, and able to
pay more for a verdict than the unfor-
tunate debtor, usually got favorable de-
cision. If the victim had any money it
was taken from him. and he was sent out
stripped Of all his earthly possessions and
admonished that an appeal to the Nell
can court would result in his death. No
Cinnamon ever braved the vengeance of
the Hip-Ye-Tong and complained. II the
victim had offered offense to pow
erful Chinaman and had no money
to pay in the shape of damages, he was
beaten, thrown into dungeon, starved,
or even killed. 1t not unfrequently hap
pened that Cinnamon in San Francisco
were tried and sentenced without being
arrested, and the execution of the SEN
tence intrusted to a Highlander or
Ratchet man. This thug would search all
the places where the victim was known to
resort, shadow him until he found an OPP
portunity to carry out the vengeance of
the Hip-Ye- Tong aud stab him in the
back, or BRAIN him with the keen Ratchet
all these fellows carry. The name
"hatchet-men" were given to the Hip-Ye-
Tong executioners from the fact that they
all carried hatchets or small bars OF iron
concealed under their coats. The few
people who know anything of the workings
of this society in San Francisco have no
idea that the system of blackmail and OPP
preston has been transplanted to New
York. Yet such is the case.
The headquarters of the Hip-Ye-Tong
in this city are in an old brick house, No.
ls Mott street. People around that
neighborhood speak of the place as a
Chinese club house, and shake their
heads obviously, while they asseverate
that curious things go on there. 1t is

SUNS AND METEoRS

Taking first the extension of the evil
dence given by the sun to bodies
that are no longer suns, we see that
what has been already suggested in
other ways is confirmed by the evil
dence of the actual eruptive power
possessed by the sun. We see that
millions of years ago, when Jupiter
and Saturn were active suns, they
probably possessed the power of
ejecting flights of bodies from their
interior as the sun does now, and
many millions of years ago, when
our earth and her fellow terrestrial
planets were sunlike bodies, they
were similarly active leach in its de-
gree). For it is, of course, obvious
that though a body like Jupiter
would have nothing like the SUMS
eruptiye energy Gin amountl, such
an orb would need nothing like that en-
ergy to eject matter from its interior
never TO return. So with a globe
like our earth. The sun must eject
a body with velocity of $50 miles
per second, that it may never return
to him; and Jupiter would have to
impart a velocity Of about forty
miles per second to eject forever a
mass erupted from its interior; but
in the case of our earth a velocity of
seven miles per second would suffice
to carry elected matter forever away
from her (apart, of course, from the
chance of subsequent capture by ac-
cidentai encounter with the parent
orb, whose course the track OF the
elected mass would always thereaf-
ter approach or intersecD. Now,
though no volcanic explosions which
at present take place eject bodies
