CONCEPTION, Chile, July 90, 1S91.-rSpec
ial correspondence of THE HERALD. /
Though nearly one hundred and fifty years
old, this qualntest of Gillian cities shows
few signs of age. Its casas-built low and
solid with an eye to earthquakes-are fine
samples Of Spanish architecture, but Sc
monotonously alike, except in size and color,
that it is easier for stranger to lose his
way here than in London. All are about
twenty feet high, Of one story only, built
around one or more patios, or court-yards.
The universal building material Is sun
dried brick, which is so soft that it absorbs
water almost as readily as sand, and conse-
quently is plastered, inside and out, until it
becomes hard and firm as stone. In Con
cepcion the law compels house owners to
keep the exterior nicely painted. The ia
vorite tints appear to be sky blue, pink or
pale yellow; but few indulge in green.
gray, heliotrope and orange. Every house
is topped with esrthenware thing, rusty
red il color, deeply embedded in mud, which
was soft when put on, and when dried holds
she tiles securely. This sort of roofing is
extremely picturesque, especially as it i'm
mediately takes on coating of moss and
lichens; but il is no end OF trouble to keep
in order, and must be repaired every year
before rainy season begins. 1t has one
great advantage in being -combustible.
Should fire originate in the rafters, or in
the boards and sheeting that form the cell
ing of the rooms, it would die out of its own
accord when they were burned away, and
the heavy mud coating falling in would eff
fectuaily smother the confagration.
1t is odd how
ISOLATED FROM THE WORLD,
Though living in the heart of the city, man
may be in one of these great casas. Many
of them have no windows that look into the
street, and when the one big door is shut
and barred, outsiders can form no idea of
of what is going on within. When the front
lawn, back yard and kitchen garden, par
Tor, sleeping apartments, servants quar-
tiers, store rooms, stable, chapel and pig
styes are all enclosed within the same wall
and under one roof the master might be
murdered dozen times q day, if that be
possible, and securely hidden away in his
own house, and the nearest neighbors would
be none the wiser.
Conception is eminently q city Of sur
prises. For example: She is entirely out
of debt, but water is peddled about the |
streets on the backs of donkeys, as in early |
colonial times. She has no less than nine |
no system whatever of sewerage. Hand |
some carriages roll about the streets, be- |
longing to wealthy citizens, but the wooden |

On one side of this is well furnished office
and reception room of the director, and q
long suit of rooms filed with maps, globes,
charts, laboratories, etc. Everything in the
Licco is done with military precision. On
the morning of our visit one hundred well
dressed young gentlemen were marching
around the corridor, reading law aloud.
They walked two and two around the en-
tire circuit OF the patio, each repeating over
and over in a loud voice the particular pas
sage he was striving to memoriZe. You
may fancy that Babel would be mild COM
parison to this orderly confusion. They
were under the supervision of a grave pro
fessor; and after they had marched and
shouted just an hour to the minute, they
were called in to recite.
Then class of boys took their places.
/ fixed my attention upon one long legged
youth of perhaps sixteen summers who was
memoriziug an English lesson; and this is
what we both learned in the course OF half
an hour: 1.-The ail-e-phant eez large aim

In this school when a boy becomes boist-
erous
HE Is SENT TO JAIL,
and for this purpose there are as many as
100 miniature prisons ranged along the sides
of one of the patios. They are dark vaults,
in, where the student is locked in and left
to mediate. After remaining five or six
hours in one position, he is generally tract
ible; il not, he is left until he is. A large
corner room is filed up as a chapel, with
numerous shrines, confessionals, images,
ETC. There is also q theatre, with elevated
stage, movable scenes, footlights and green
room. As co-education is not permitted,
and if any young lady should associate on
the stage with the other sex, she would be
disgraced for life, the boys are compelled
to don petticoats whenever the exigencies
of the drama require it. And great fun
they seem to consider it. To US
THE SCHOOL ROOMS WERE CURIoslTIEs.
A row of benches extends entirely around
the outside of each room, where the young
gentlemen sit during recitation hours, the
teacher occupying a slightly elevated seat
in the centre. The blackboardS are outside
in the corridor, apparently reserved for
play things, and maps, charts, globes and
dictionaries are all kept under lock and key.
Extending along one side of each patio
are apartments devoted to sleeping pur-
poses, forty beds occupying a dormitory.
The boys are under the strictest surveil-
lance by night as by day, ard each sleeping
room has its ''watch"-a stern professor on
guard in al ante-chamber, whose bed is
placed SO that he can overlook every move
ment in the dormitcry. Under such cir
cumstances, / am afraid that there is pit
liable dearth Of ''larks'' in this model insti
tuition. FANNIE b. WARD.

The coroners inquest on the terrible rail-
road accident at Ravenna. Ohio was continued
yesterday. but elected little beyond what has
already been published. Conductor Boynton
of the passenger train. with his son. who was
the rear brakeman. were on the stand, as well
a. the engineer and fireman. They testified
that the passenger train had the right OF way at
Ravenna for five minutes and that but three
minutes had elapsed when the freight train ran
INTO them. The engineer and fireman of the
freight train were examined ard stated that
they did not receive the danger signal in time
to stop the train. Others were examined about
minor points of Information. The inquest ill
be continued today.
A special to the Herald from Alliance. Ohio
says: Considerable excitement was occasioned
at Ravenna this morning by the announcement
that Conductor Boynton's ticket report shows
that there are twelve people in the wreck who
have not yet been accounted for. When the
bodies we're taken out OF the ruins they we're

belief that there were n dozen others consumed
in the wreck and that his son was among them.
as no trace of him has vet been discovered.
Friends were IN Ravenns today searching for
another missing man. There we're two Pat
Ryans on the train. one of whom WAS known to
have been killed. The other is missing.

THE ELECTROCUTED CRIMINALS.
Grimes for Which the Four Murderers Died
at Sing Sing This Morning.

Harris A. smiler was at one time Salvation
Army captain. He was printer by trade, and
had developed rare faculty for getting mar
ned. At the time the crime was committed
there were three women living to whom he had
been married. and none of them had been d.
vorced. The last one to go through the cere-
mony with him. Maggie Drainey. was his
victim He had been living with her at 2s4 It'll
avenue, New York city. but on account Of his
brutality she had determined to leave him. He
came home partly drunk on the night Of April
3, 1889. and when she refused to promise to re-
main with HIM he shot her to death. He was
originally condemned to die in the week
beginning August IA. 1890. but the appeals
taken have saved his life thus far.
James J. Slocum hved at ia Roosevelt street
New York. and had been base ball player and
a common laborer. He had long been a wife
heater, but commonly pounded his wife with his
fists and kicked her. On the night of Deem
Der 81, 1890. he came home and took al AK which
had been used by his wife to break up boards
for fuel. and beat the woman's brains ont with
II. He was convicted in March, 1890. before
Judge MARITIME. and was originally sentenced to
die during the week beginning May of that
year.
Joseph Wood was one of the negroes en-
ployed in building the new aqueduct near New
York. One pay day in May. 1889. he got into
one of the fights common among the gangs Of
lsbOrers employed there. His opponent was
an italian. Carlo Ruff. also an sqneduct Ia
borer. Ruff was killed. Wood has always as
serted that he took Rufus life in sell defense
HIS case was taken the supreme Court of the
United States on the novel plea that Wood was
not tried by his peers. because negroes were no
on the jury, The appeal served only to pro-
long the prisoner life.
The last of the four was a common specimen
neither better nor worse, of the crews of the
ships that now sail out of the port of New
York. 1t Is such men as he who now DO the
work once done by the smartest youths OF the
Atlantic coast Of America. His name is Shi-
buya Jugiso. and he is native of Japan. He
was living i'll one of the James street sailors
homes while awaiting the pleasure of the board
ing house boss Ill the matter OF putting him on
board of ship on which he had already signed
articles to return to Japan. He got into a dis
pute with cOuutrymaIl. Mura Canni about a
berth in the forecastle OF the ship. Jugigo got
n carving knife and stabbed Canni to death in
the course Of the fight that followed. His case
was taken to the United States Supreme Court
by Roger VI. Sherman. the plea being that Ju-
gIgo bad no legal defense. because his attorney,
John Il. HeinzelIaan. had not been admitted to
practice at the New York bar.

FOR HER HUSBANDS SAKE.
Pretty Josie Rattle Stole to Keep Him Sup
piled With Funds,

Josie Rattle, the pretty eighteen-year old
wife of John Rattle, says the New York Sum-
was arraigned before Police Justice Walsh in
Brooklyn on a charge of grand larceny. She
tearfully pleaded guilty, but as the complain
ants expressed their disinclination to press the
prosecution in view Of the extreme provocation
to which the young woman was subjected. it is
not likely she will be punished. Two years
ago, when she was a mere girl, she was married
to Rattle in Washington. The couple did not
get along well in this city, and few months
ago they went to Brooklyn and went live with
Mrs Rathe's parents at 221 9th avenue. Soon
Rattle returned to Washington. leaving his
wife with her parents. He wrote to her from
time to time. each letter containing more
urgent requests for money than the preced-
ing one. When her parents positively re-
fused to give her any money, and she had
failed to borrow any from her friends. the
young wife resorted to robbery to get her hus-
band out of his difficulties. She stole some
jewelry from families living in the same house
and. pawning it for less than one-fourth of its
value, sent every cent of the money she OBJ
tanned to her husband. When accused Of the
theft by Detective Reynolds she broke down
and made full confession. She declared it as
her intention to redeem the iewelry some day
and return it to the owners. After hearing her
story Justice Walsh remanded her. She will
have nothing more, she says, to do with her
husband.

disastrous fire broke out last evening in
the large five-story carpet mill Of =. Il. Priest
ley, 1910 Lawrence street. Philadelphia, and
before the flames were sUbdued the place was
Quilted from top to bottom. The fire was first
discovered in the basement adjoining the en-
CINE room. The machinery was in operation
and before the danger became apparent sparks
were carried by the heavy betting to the upper
stories of the bnilding. The FIRE brigade
of the mill. aided by the members of an en-
CINE company, went to work and in a few min
utes they were convinced that the flames had
been subdued. They had hardly ceased their
labors, however, when flames and smoke
burst through the windows OF the third floor.
and it was then discovered that large guam
tity Of yarns stored in that portion of the
building had become ignited. The flames
spread rapidly. and the hardest efforts of the
hremen were necessary to prevent their spread
to surrounding buildings As soon as the fire
broke out all the employees who were not needed
to fight the flames made their way to the street
in safety and stood. with sorrowing eyes. and

Secretary Foster in discussing his message
talked freely of the necessity of drawing in all

the system inaugurated by Cleveland of audit
ing cash liabilities his June deficit Of six hun
dred thousand was correct and that he has re-
verted TO the method of accounting prior to
