A fire which broke out at noon, Tues
day, in Lynn, Mass, proved the most
disastrous Ill the Guys history. Acres
and acres have been burned over and the
greater part of ward four is wiped out
as regards the prominent manufacturing

The fire started in Mowers wooden build

spread with such rapidity that the excel

Marblehead and surrounding towns, but
their united efforts seemed to have little

OF here, was burned this morning. The
fire started In the rear OF Matthews gro
Gerry store and spread rapidly. Hose was
brought out, but Immediately burst and
was found 10 have been plugged with
blocks OF wood. A panic then ensued. as IL
was evident that the town was doomed. A
telephone message was sent TO this city ap-
peallng for assistance and q special train
was made up, but the apparatus
was not taken, as the water
works furnish pressure here and the en-
gines were not In q serviceable condition.
Twenty houses were burned with loss of
$4,000. The Insurance is less than half of
that amount. The names OF the companies
have not been ascertalned, as the books Of
the insurance agencies are In q vault which
Is not cool enough TO open. II is reported
that q Chinese leper WAS confined In the
basement OF n wash house and perished In
the flames. The fire WAS unquestionably y
the work OF an incendiary.

ST. Louis, April is.-The Republic will

season being so far advanced, the crop
Is assured In the west and south, and al
though too early 10 safely predictA full

crop of apples will be much smaller than
that OF last year, it being the of year for
the crop At many OF the big shipping sta

the average, vet Is much larger than that
OF 1883, which WAS the lightest In many
years. The grape crop ~ the west and
south has been favored with mild winter,
but little injury has been inflicted and near
ly double the yield Of last year Is
looked for. The general vegetable crop,
which is attracting much attention, espe,
cielly throughout the southern states, In re-
ported In excellent condition. Florida IL
now the most formidable rival OF all the
other southern states as shipper Of early
fruits and vegetables, getting into every

DEER LODGE, April lS.-lSpecial to the
Independent News comes here to-day of
the killing OF an Indian at Sunset post
Office in the northwestern portion OF this
county. Last Monday some six or eight
Flathead Indians visited that place and
were allowed to have as much whisky as
they wanted at the saloon OF NJ. X. Star.
The consequence was that they all got on
drunk and not only terrorized the whites,
but began quarrelling among themselves.
Felix Reul, a white man, who had been
drinking with them, got Into quarrel
with one OF the Indians and finally shot
and killed him. This was about o'clock
in the evening. Afterwards the squaws
stole the arms away from the bucks and
kept them during the night Next day the
Indians moved across the river 10 another
camp, but as they have plenty OF whskey
II is feared that more trouble will result
Reul was tried before a justice Of the
peace and was at first discharged, but at a
second trial was held TO await the action OF
the grand jury. The officer having him In
chhrge has not yet reached Deer Lodge.
A resident OF the neighborhood has just
arrived In town and warrants have been
Issued for the arrest OF the parties selling
the whisky 10 the Indians. Officers have
started for Sunset to arrest all the persons
who have violated the law.

PHILADELPHIA, April lS-The Inquirer
will publish tomorrow interviews which IL
has collected with prominent politicians OF
the southern states In answer 20 the ques-
tions, "What is the southern question ~
and slow should II be met 10 produce the
greatest good to the south ?" In responses
nearly all voiced the same sentiment-that
the race problem is the great one TO be
solved, and that the south should be al
lowed to manage her own affairs without
interference. Among the most prominent
gentlemen from whom replies were re-
ceiyad are. Gov. Richardson, of South
Carolina; Gov. Lee, OF Virginia; Gov.
Buckner, OF Kentucky; Attorney General
Miller, OF Mississippi; and Lieut.
Mauldin, OF South Carolina. The tenor Of
the replies Is contained mainly In that of
Gov. Richardson, who says, "rhe
shall the African OF the Caucasian
predominate. The solution is In the strict
avoidance by the government of any dis
tinctly southern policy and In leaving %
the states themselves the management 0f
their own domestic affairs" Gov. Buck
ner, OF Kentucky, protests that there is no
southern question as such; that unpatriotic
otttiouul III
the north or south, should not be encour
aged and the injury resulting from such
agitation would be reduced 10 0 minimum
II the people OF each state would continue
10 attend To their own affairs and unite In
supporting the general government In its
Just exercise OF all Its legitimate powers.
Attorney-General Miller, OF Mississippi,
says: "The contrast between the negro
and white governments has been so decl-
dedly In favor OF the latter that the white
people are determined there shall be-
no return TO the former; indeed military
despotism would be preferred. When in
| terest and Judgment, instead OF pass ion and
prejudice shall control the southern negro,
then the whole question will be- solved"
Lieut.. Gov. Mauldin, of South Carolina,
| says the federal government can help the
| south by appointing 10 Office men of char
acter and capacity, by dealing generously
In the matter OF internal improvements and
by refunding the cotton tax; ''in other
