a PALACE BURNED.
YAe Ro1al Palace Of Belgium Destroyed
BY IN legendary Fire.

1Ae Royal Palace Of Belgium Destroyed
BY IN legendary Fire.
! BRUseE1s. Jan. 2-The royal palace
1T Laeken, a suburb of Brussels, was
almost completely destroyed by fire
yesterday.
The flames spread rapidly and at one
time threatened to cut of the escape of
most of the inmates. The Princess
C3ementine had a very narrow escape
from death and her rescue was made
with the greatest difficulty.
A young lady employed as governess
to the Princess was unable to follow
her mistress and was burned to death.
The only portion of the place which
escaped the ravages Of the flames was
that in which the private apartments
of the King are situated. The royal
collection of works of art, one of the
finest in Europe, comprising some Of
the most valuable paintings and statu-
airy extant, was entirely destroyed.
at ten O'Clock last night the palace
had the appearance Of huge furnace
and there came from it constant
crashes and volcanic bursts of flames
as timber and other masses of debris
fell into the fire. The heat was so
great as to totally prevent the approach
of the small fire brigade which at best
could have done but little.
The Queens apartments suffered
most. Much plate was saved, but the
valuable pictures, the Gobelin tapestries
and the great library were all con-
sumed. The extensive green houses
and stables were not touched.
The only occupants of the palace at
the time the fire broke out were the
Princess Clementine, aged seventeen, a
lady attendant and the governess,
Drancourt. The governess, having
escaped with the others, returned to
the Princess apartments to secure
some valua bleS and was suffocated.
The Queen lost by this fire interest
ing souvenirs of her children, especially
of her son who died at the a.e Of
twelve.
Napoleon /. resided for time in this
castle, but it has since been much en-
larged and improved.
As soon as the fire was reported the
King and Queen suspended the New
Years day reception and fastened
thither and witnessed the total de-
struction of the palace, the usual sum-
mer residence.
It is said the fire was caused by de-
fective stove in the officers quarters.
The loss is immense as to money value
and as to destruction of art treasures
that can not be rep aced.
All the private papers of the King
and of Leopold l. and The Queens jew
elry were destroyed. Only the walls
are now standing The body of the
gOverness has not yet been found.
1t is reported that two tiremen were
injured and another killed at the fire
at Laeken.
The London Times has intelligence
that the Laeken palace was fired by in
cendiaries at three separate places and
that all the Gobelin tapestry was saved.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The boys section
of the paupers' school in the district of
Forest Gate, in connection with the
Whitechapel and Poplar union. was
destroyed by an overheated stove by
FIRE Tuesday night while the inmates
were asleep. Twenty-six of the boys
who were in the upper stories were suf-
located before they could be rescued.
Fitty-eight other boys were safely taken
from the burning building amid terrible
excitement.
Two of the matrons of the institu-
ton escaped in safety by sliding down
the water pipes. Several of the boys
escaped in the same way. The super
intendent of the school repeatedly
rushed through the flames and brought
out a number of inmates.
The bodies of those who were suffo-
Gated were carried to the main hall of
the building. which was still profusely
decorated with Christmas green's.
The female department, in which
were $50 girls, was not touched. The
boys retired in high spirits having been
promised presents and u New Years
fete.
The fire originated in a clothing
room beneath the boys dormitory.
The smoke and flames issuing from the
stove flue alarmed those sleeping on
the top floor and they made heir
escape. The fire engines were prompt
ly on the spot and the employees of an
adjacent railway station rushed to the
scene and rendered valuable assist
ance.
The bodies of the boys we're badly
burned but it is believed that they
were suffocated before they were
burned The ages of the dead range
from seven to twelve years.

ROCHESTER, n. Y. Dec. 3I.-The
general term of the fifth department
has handed down decision in the case

After reviewing the experiments

concluded: The light of the scientific
evidence in this case is sufficient
as we think, to remove every
reasonable doubt that the pas

Another Attempt on the Life q Father
Kelly, Of Oneida, n. 7.
ONEIDA, N. Y, Jan. &-The life Of
Rev. Father James A. Kelly, Of St.
PatEick's Church, was attempted early
this morning. The assassin was only
prevented from accomplishing murder
by the loud outcries of the wounded
man. After striking the first blow he
fed in the darkness.
This is the second attempt to do
away with Father Kelly within three
months. The first attempt was by
poisoning. The affair offers no pos
sibe colution, in spite of the fact that
detectives have been working upon it
for some time. 1t has been said that
there is woman in the case, but there
is nothing in the pastors known asso-
Citations to confirm the suggestion.
Father Kelly was aroused about $50
By a summons on his door. He hastily
drew On his clothing and descended to
the hallway. In answer to query, the
stra' ger outside said that the priests
services were desired at deathbed,
and asked to be admitted. Father
Kelly unbolted the door and opened
it cautiously to get a glimpse at the
stranger.
At this juncture the latter threw his
weight against the door, forcing it in
ward and securing a partial entrance.
At the same time he struck Father
Kelly blow on the head with heavy
instrument. The forcing of the door
had prepared him for the attack, and
the fact that the priest saw the blow
coming and lodged promptly saved his
life. If the blow had hit him squarely
his SKULL would have been crushed. As
it was the blow was glancing one and
made an ugly scalp wound.
Father Kelly grappled with his as
sailant and cried 'Murder!' The as
sasSin got away and took to his heels.
In tho scufiie he dropped his weapon.
Father Kelly, weak from the loss of
blood and the shock of the excitement,
sank to the floor. There the fright
ened housekeeper found him.
He WAS lying across h. doorway in a
pool of blood A rod of iron about
three feet ng and an inch thick Law
near him. 1t was the weapon used by
his assailant. A doctor was at once
summoned and the wound dressed.
Father Kelly only suffered from ner-
vous prostration and loss of blood. He
says he can not identify his assailant.
Father Kelly on October last drank
the sacred wine and soon afterward ex-
perienced severe burning sensation
in his stomach. He was assisted into
the sacristy, and, suspecting that he
had been poisoned, swallowed an
emetic at once. DR.. Bailey, who was
summoned, saw that the symptoms
were those of arsenic poisoning and
administered antidOteS.
1t was believed that there was de-
libeate attempt to poison the priest
and there was universal indignation
among people of all denominations.
No enc knew what could have impelled
the attempt, and the detectives had
only the slightest clew. The wine,
robes and other priestiy appurtenances |
are kept in a small room off the altar
and IN this room burned matches were
fo0nd On the table where the bottle
stood. Trees of arsenic were also
found on the table near the bottle, as
though some of the poison had been
spilled while being poured.
