INDIANAPOLIS, March 1S. Fire from a

Bowen-Merrill company reached some
paper and in an instant the flames were
carried by the elevator shaft to the fourth
story. The building, fine stone and
iron structure fronting on Washington

tionery Of all kinds. This large stock
was consumed and the building wrecked.
At $50 o'clock this loss of $150.000 on
building and stock was followed by a
falling i'll Of the roof, which carried
down more than twenty persons, includ-
ing those who We're working on the va

been driven to corner between the cell

Parts Of the fire companies were on the
roof working their way down to the fire.
The roof seemed sound and the walls
substantial, but suddenly the walls
yielded. A man threw up his arms and
Sank Into the SeethinG Ruins.
Another man dropped, and then the
whole rear roof, with fifteen men on it,
fell on to the top floor where the fire was
raging. Four men were on the upper
floor under the roof. These were crushed
beneath the grinding timbers ani all the
men hurled through the falling floor be-
meath. which gave wy under the weight

Immediately after the collapse waa pitia-

trunks to which they belonged were
buried from sight. On all sides black

agony or dreadful in death, urged the
crowd who had scaled the heap to assist
them to redouble their efforts The
debris had fallen SO that it lay with a
valley-shaped surface and this made the
available space for work very small.
There was no place to deposit the ma
terials dug from the bottom of the valley
except to throw them upon the sides of
the depression from which they cOntln-

again; but one by one the men nearest
the surface were extricated, but as the
workers went down further they discoy-

grew.

The burdens of the high tariff
taxation is very vel, illustrated by
the increase of duty placed upon
woolen felt printing blankets by the
.KcKinley bill. These blankets
which are now admitted into the
country under a specific and an ad-
valorum duty equaling about 53 per
cent. are made to pay. by the Nc
Kinley bill, q specific duty of ~
cents per pound and an adyalorum
duty of 40 per cent. on value, which
is more than doubling the duty on a
necessary article and placing SO
much of an additional burden on
every printing press in the country.
The increase Of this duty is, ostensi-
bly,, to protect the very few fax
mills in the United States and place
the burden upon the printing busi-
ness which give employment to
more than one hundred times the
number of people that are employed
in flax mills. The great army of
printers in this country demand
protection against this insignificant
number of flax workers. The read
ing public demands protection
against this unjust burden. The
increase of the burden upoh the
press must result in one of two
things-either the spread of intelIi-
gence will be curtailed or the read
er must pay more for his books,
magazines and newspapers.

Stephen b. Elkins, has, it seems,
imported 1000 negroes into the Sec

State under the solemn pledge that
they are to vote the straight Repub-

the Republican blow out at Pitts

had fingered long enough at cham

q friend in a club room and pro-
ceeded to give away Matt Quay's
scheme to reduce the number of
Southern Representatives in Con :

taker to "fail to see" all the negroes
in the Southern States, whereby the

There is one State, usually called
Southern, by the way, 70 which the
census scheme does not apply. That
is West Virginia. 1t is surely Re-

land, coal and railroad companies,
has introduced 1000 new votes in
the State. 1t was made the first
condition of their employment that
they should be tried and true Re-
publicans. West Virginia will vote
for the next Republican candidate
for President beyond all possibility
of dispute.
