A five estOry brick tenement house,

Four persons, Gustave Berg, his wife,

to have perished in the flames. The
tiremen displayed most heroic valOr,

it is feared other lives have been sacri-

is now in progress. Origin of fire at

DECATUR, ILL.,, Aug. s. Especial +
The John G.. Imboden cattle, inoculated
with Texas fever are dying off rapidly.
Within the past five days seventeen of
the twenty-five have died. This morn
ing Dr. Reid, the Assistant State Vet
erinarian, learned that Thomas White
sides, who brought Southern cattle here
in June and grazed them four days in
the ImbOden pasture, is in the western
part of the county with another ship
ment of Texas cattle in his possession.
The doctor will endeavOr to have him
arrested. The fever makes the limbo
den cattle stupid. They amble about
at a staggering gait Cows show loss
of milk. All slobber at the mouth;
eyes dull; pass bloody urine; have
spinal trouble and complete loss of
muscular power, and finally fall down
and die. These are the symptoms of
the disease.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 8.-The State
Federation of Trade and Labor Unions
is in annual convention here. A few
days ago Chairman Huston, of the Re-
publican State Committee, arranged to
pack the convention with delegates who
were expected to capture the conven-
tion for Harrison. The scheme failed.
About 30 of Houston's delegates pre-
sented themselves, but the committee
on credentials was posted, and closely
scanned every mans papers. Some
were bogus, others bunglingIy irregular.
All We're excluded whose credentials
were not properly made out and signed.
About 100 labor unions were repre-
sented properly, and the delegates num-
Der about 200. After routine business
resolutions were passed denouncing
class and monopoly legislation, review
ing Harrison's Senate career, his Chi
nese and labor record, and severely re-
flecting upon them. His home organ,
the indianapolis Journal, also came in
for a share of denunciation because of
its attitude toward the laboring man.

WASHINGTON.

Interesting Week at the Capitol The
Fisheries Treaty to Come Up-and the
Senate Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-[Special. +
The present week promises to be very
interesting one in the Senate. In the
House, matters are dull, and there is
scarcely a quorum. The Fisheries
Treaty will probably reach vote, and
the result is in doubt, Some of the Re
publican Senators who voted to confirm
Fuller and Lamar for Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, are said to favor
the Treaty, in which case it will be rat
ihed, as the Democratic Senators are
counted solid for the ratification.
The Senate Tariff bill is turning out
an element of discord, and it appears
doubtful if any bill can command the
solid Republican vote.

Jackson's staff during the latter part of the
war. He was q close friend of jackson, and
was his confidential correspondent while he
was in the Confederate congress Whileupon
Iacksons staff be had the closest relations
with him The two men slept in the same
tent and In the same bed | asked Col.
Boteler today as to Jackson's religious nature.
He said it was remarkable; that jackson was
governed by his conscience In everything,
and that he was cast iron in his rules of daily
life He says the statement recently made
that Stonewall jackson would not mail a
letter when he found it had to travel on Sun
day to reach its destination was strictly true,
and that while he was member of the Con-
federate congress jackson wrote him letter,
asking him to do oil in his power TO pass
bill preventing the mails from being carried
on Sundays
"Jackson's religion" continued Col. Boteler,
twas q part Of his everyday life don't
think there was q moment when he forgot
his responsibility TO God After the hardest
days Of his fighting he would read chapter
in his Testament, and kneeling down would
say his prayers before he got into bed He
was a thorough believer in Christ, and he
told me one day that he never drank glass
Of water without mentally thanking God for
it, that he never ate q meal without sending
up his thanks to the Great Giver, and that he
never looked upon a beautiful scene without
feeling grateful to the great and good God
who had made it he never allowed his per-
sonal convenience to affect his rules Of &C

fighting, and we were both tired and faint.
