A Village in Flames.

SALAMANCA, n. Y, Nav 1.-THE village
Of Eilicouville, twelve miles north Of here,
was visited by a disastrous fire this morning
which destroyed one-half of the business
places on the north side Of Main street The
fire started in a dwelling and was discovered
at II O'Clock while the family were II chunh.
The village has no Fire Department or Ap-
paraius. The people went bravely 10 work
with buckets but the frespread Tclegrams
were then sent TO Salamanca, Bradford and
Buffalo requesting aid A special train from
Salamanca carrying a steamer and two hose
carts manned by paid firemen were the first
to arrive. The fire had then been raging
more than an hour. and il seemed as if the
whole north side of Main street was in
flames. Hastily wetting down the walls
which were in the most immediate danger OF
bursting into flames, the fremen directed
their efforts against the further spread of the
fire. They succeeded and the town was saw
ed. The Crawford house, two-story frame
building, was the largest structure burned,
and the flames were stopped there. Loss
$4,000, insured.

rEN oR MoRE IpIoTs RoAsrED.
Locked In Their Cells and Roasted
without Hope OF Rescue.

MoRwicIi, y. Y, May sA terrible fatal
ity was the burning last night Of the County
Almshouse and Insane Asylum. about six
miles from here. in which at least ten Of the
helpless inmates perished- This morning
only tao chimneys remained as monuments
Of the destroyed building that had been oc-
cnpied by pauper and insane patients. The
fire started in the large building occupied by
Keeper Manwarring and the idiots and pau
pers over whom he had charge So rapid
was its progress that when discovered It was
impossible to enter the apartment occupied
by the female idiots, who perished.
THE EXACT SITUATION.
There were about eighty inmates in the
pauper and idiot departments. which were
in the main building. Some Of the sleeping
rooms were in the north end on the first
floor. On the second story were the remain
ing sleeping rooms Of the boarders. Mr..
Manwarring and bis wife were sleeping on
the second floor in bed room Immediately
over the Office.
The insane department was in separate
building to the south Of the aimshouse and
divided by the driveway. Its destruction
was as complete as that of the other. There
were 4S inmates, and as soon as their keeper,
William Hall, was acquainted with their
peril, he opened the doors of the cells, allow
ing the inmates to enter the halls and thence
escape. -Four OF five of them got away en-
tirely The others, with the paupers, were
removed to the Methodist and Universalist
churches at Preston Corners.
Underneath where the quarters Of the un-
fortunate idiots had been could be counted
this morning the remains of of the 10
forms, charred and disfgured. There was
little TO show that they were the bones of
human beings. 1t was impossible to iden-
;ify any Of them.
now 1T WAS DISCOVERED.
Keeper ManwarriDg. who was aroused
from his sleep and was the first to discover
the fire last night, attempted TO open the
door and rescue the poor inmates of the
idiot department, who were all securely shut
in their cells. as usual. but was driven back
by the heat and smoke. lie saw that the
poor idiots were doomed and that nothing
could save them, so he only ran out and
gave the alarm There We're twelve .nmates
in the Idiot Asylum, and perhaps all of
them were overcome by the heat and roasted
like pigs in hole.
Keeper William f. Hall, Of the insane de
partmeni said II was absent in Norwich
yesterday after supplies, and did not return
home until about nine O'Clock in the even
ing. / should think il must have been near
II O'Clock when Mr. Manwarring came run
ming in and exclaimed, For God sake, Bill,
we are afire Come and help usr l rang
the alarm bell, and then returned TO the
asylum and devoted my efforts to saving the
inmates ] opened all the cells and pulled
/ them out in hurry. A bucket brigade OF
100 persons was powerless to save things"
The origin of the fire is as much OF a
mystery as was that of the greater one at
Tongue Pointe, near Montreal, on last
I Tuesday

Torn Up BY a Tornado.

AKRON, O., May 10.-A tornado such as
this city has never seen swept down upon
Akron at $50 this evening. Preceded by a
low. humming sound, il came from the
southwest, attended by thick darkness and
torrents Of rain. People who stood watch
ing il saw two clouds meet, and plainly
noticed the revolving motion Of objects fly
ing in the air.
The destruction began in the southwest
corner Of the city, close TO the Ohio Canal.
Wilson Klippinger's house was picked up
FIRST, whisked about two or three times, and
then left in a heap. The family were all in
jured, Mr.. Klippinger having had gashes
about the head, while his aged mother was
burned about the legs by the tipping over
of the cook stove. His little daughter was
pitched headforemost into a mud puddle,
and rescued well-nigh dead.
A PATTI NILE LONG.
For a mile through the thickly settled
part of the city the tornado swept; but
darkness shut in SO quickly that all is chaos
and excitement, probably only fraction of
the destruction being now definitely known.
About forty buildings were destroyed, and
scores of Others partially unroofed or other
wise disfgured. The Ohio Stoneware Com
pany's pottery was well nigh destroyed !;
loss S60O0 Turner Hall is wreck, the
wind having torn through every side of it.
The house of Antonio Manuel, an Italian,
was thrown over on its side, and yet Manuel
and his son escaped unhurt 1t seems al
most a miracle that great loss Of life did not
result.

entirely on this city. II switched off after

The Bin Now Under Consideration
in the House.

WAsHIsoreS, May shortly after con-
vsneing today the House. on motion OF Mr..
McKinley Ohio. Wentinto committee Of the
whole ar. P4yson. u iliinois, in the chair
fos the consideration Of The tanf bill. Mr..
Mckinley stated that he would endeavor 10
close general debate Saturday evening. On
motion Of Mr Mills Texas the committee
granted 10 ar Mckinley the privilege Of
speaking without Limitation Of the FIVE min
ute rule, aud similar courtesy was accor-
ded Mr.. Mills on motion Of Mr.. Mckinley.
Mr.. Mckinley then took the floor in support
OF the bill.
Mr. MCKINLEY TALKS.
In the course OF his remarks he said; In
the last political campaign the tariff had
been the absorbing question before the peo.
pie. j. seemed TO him that no extended dis
cussion Of this great principle was expected,
or required, or necessary under the existing
conditions. for If any one thing was settled
by the political contest of 1855, it was shat
the protective policy as promulgated by the
Republican party in its platform, as main
iained by the Republican party through long
series Of years, should be secured in any leg
islation which was to be had by Congress
chosen in this great contest and on this mas
tering issue. He interpreted victory to mean,
be interpreted the msjority in this House to
mean, he interpreted the
INCUNBEScr OF THE FREsIDEScY
Of the United States by the present Chief
Executive to mean that revision Of the tar
1T was demanded by the people, and that
that revision should be along the line and in
full recognition Of the principles and purPo-
ses Of protection. Il removed the restriction
upon growers Of tobacco. With these excep-
tons the internal revenue law stood as at
present. If these recommendations were
agreed to the internal taxation would be re-
duced a little over SIC, 100000. The commit
tee also recommended provision requiring
all imported articles TO bear a stamp or mark
indicating the country in which such arti-
cles are manufactured. [Applause.l The
people had spoken and they asked this Con-
1 .,ress 10 register their will and embody their
verdict into public law. The bill presented
by the Committee on Ways and Means to
the House was thorough answer to that
demand. II was in full recognition Of the
( principles and the
POLICY or PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
The bill had not abolished the internal
revenue tax as the Republican party bad
/ pledged itself to DO in the event that aboli-
tioh was necessary to preserve the protec-
/ tive system, because the committee had
/ found that the abolition Of the one was not
necessary to the preservation of the other.
| The bill recommended the abolition of all
special taxes and a reduction OF the tax on
/ tobacco and snuff.
