MUSHROOM SCORCHED.
The Enterprising Little City Suffers
Loss OF About $3OO,OOO.

| MUSHROOM, Mich. May IA wild,
Ice frihged wind blew straight out of the
north Saturday afternoon, sending cold
chills over everything. Somebody re-
marked that 1t would be an awful day for
fire, and had scarcely said it when the
alarm struck from the box that called the
department to a small barn in the rear of
the old Cummings house, now known as
the Langwell hotel. The fremen We're
prompt but the wind sent the sparks and
burning shingles hurrying and scurrying
all along the line OF blocks near the scene
of the fire. The firemen knew ii was i'm
possible to save the cluster of wooden
structures near the barn, and hurriedly
sent to Grand Rapids, Grand Haven,
Montague aud Whitehall for help, which
places responded. Before the help
arrived, the fire had grown to giant, and
the fire department was Of but little use.
Block after block OF old business places
and residences fell before the flames and
it looked as If the city limits would mark
the edge Of the blaze when the wind
shifted few points to the west and drove
the fire into the best residence section and
toward the court house and Jail. In the
court house jury was celebrating on an
embeZZlement case and the fire hurried "a
verdict of guilty in few minutes. The 10
prisoners in the Jail became excited but
were soon removed to place of safety.
M Wilson's $40, 900 residence fell before
the fire and became part of the ruins Of
the Terrace-st. Holland church and the
German Lutheran church. Aid. Fleming 8
elegant house shared the same fate 1t is
impossible 10 estimate individual losses of
the $50 or more owners of the burned
buildings, but it is so divided that no one
loss outside OF Wilson's and Flening's will
be very large. The court house which
cost $50, 900 to build is insured for $50, 900
and this will very nearly replace it,
In all II blocks were burned over, not
one building being left In the district,
The loss. according TO the best estimates,
amounts to not less than 5000. 900, with
insurance ut $3.50, 600 or $500, 900. A
number Of slight accidents were reported
but no fatalities. About 200 people are
rendered homeless, but are being cared for
by friends and neighbors, and most of
them intend TO rebuild. No outside help
will be required.
A mass meeting was held in the city hall
for the purpose of taking some steps for
the immediate relief of the sufferers by the
great conflagration of Saturday. The
meeting was called to order by Mayor
WaallSes, and Chas. II. Hackley, the phil
anthropic millionaire, was made chairman
of the relief committee. Subcommittee
were appointed from each ward to solicit
aid. Already generous donations have been
made to tho fund. Subscriptions have
come by telegraph from California and
other states.
There are about 200 homeless, mostly
laborers, and these are being cared for as
rapidly as possible. Insurance adiusters
are on the ground, and already some of the
losses have been paid. A careful estimate
places the total loss at $500, 900, and the
insurance at $3.50, 900.

Weather and Crops.

LANSING. May 19.-The weekly bulletins
on weather and crops, say: The reports
indicate that tho weather conditions in
The southern sections were very
favorable to all growing crops, and that
wheat oats and grass are doing nicely.
In the other sections of the state the de-
ficient rainfall has proved unfavorable TO
all the crops, and rain is much needed to
bring the crops forward. Corn planting is
progressing rapidly in the southern sec
tons. and will be finished next week.
In other sections it is not going on as well,
being too dry for favorable seeding. Some
fields of wheat are reported as looking yell
low from tire effects of the freeze, but the
reports are few. The reports this week
relative to fruit are much more encour-
aging than those of last and it is not
thought that the fruit has been very ser-
ouSy injured in any section, but some

AFTER THE OUTING.
President Harrison Resumes His
Duties at the White House.

The President resumed his official duties
at the White House Saturday just as
though nothing unusual had occurred. He
was at his desk from . o'clock until with
the exception of an hour for lunch, and
portion of this time was spent in the east
room shaking hands with a party of ex-
cursionsts from Pennsylvania. He dis
posed of considerable routine business dur
ing the day and had conferences on inn
portant official matters with Attorney
General Miller Secretary Tracy, Secretary
Foster, Assistant Secretaries Moore,
Grant, Chandler and Spaulding. of the
State, War, Interior and Treasury De-
partments respectively, Senator's Hawley
and Morrill, and Mr.. John w. Foster who
had just returned from a special mission to
Spain. There are a number OF important
questions pending in reach OF the eXecu-
tive departments and it is the Presidents
purpose TO dispose of them as rapidly as
possible. The Behring Sea question requires
immediate consideration and the President
will devote his attention TO that first with
view OF having the governments policy
in regard 10 the local seal hsht ries so far
as the present season is concerned clearly
defined pending the final settlement of the
controversy by the slower processes OF
arbitration. 1t is probable that the sailing
orders of the revenue cutters assigned TO
duty in Behring Sea VIII be made out next
week The illness of Secretary Blaine
may necessltate a slight delay in the prep
aration OF these instructions, but it viii be
ouly temporary, however, as both the
President and the Secretary of the Treas
ury are thoroughly conversant with his
views on the subject, and could act in
accordance Herewith without further con-
sultation with him, and without the least
danger of disturbing the statas OF his
negotiations on the sub. ect with tho Brit
ish government Another matter that will
probably be disposed of next week is the
appointment of the land court commission
ers. Although there was no meeting of
the Cabinet, every Cabinet officer in town
called during the day and had short chat
over matters pertaining TO the depart
ments.

Very Great.
Their Sentences COMMITTED.

WAsHINGToS, May 19.-The president
has committed TO Imprisonment for life, at
hard labor, the three Navassa rioters,
sentenced by the circuit court OF Maryland
to be hanged. In taking this action,
President Harrison says: Il have exam
ined with care the papers submitted in
these cases, and am not willing that the
death sentences should be executed. The
killing was, as TO each of the prisoners,
sat sfactorily established, and that it was
| felonious is also clear. But the conditions
| surrounding the prisoners and their fellows
were of most peculiar character. They
were American citizens, under contracts to
perform labor upon specihed terms
within American territory, re-
moved from any opportunity to appeal to
any court or public Office for redress of any
injury or the enforcement of any civil
| right. Their employers were, In fact,
their masters. The bosses placed over
them imposed fines and penalties without
| any semblance of trial. These penalties
extended to Imprisonment, and even 10 the
cruel practice of trcing men up for a re-
| fusal TO work. Escape was impossible,
and the state of things generally such as
might make men reckless and desperate.
This is not a case for a pardon; the crime
was grave one, but taking into account
all of its antecedcnts and incidents, have
concluded TO commute the sentences to inn
prisonment for life. The sentences in the
cases of George s. Key, Henry Jones and
Edward Smith, convicted Of murder In the
circuit court Of the United States for the
District of Maryland, and sentenced TO be
hanged are each committed 10 imprlson-
ment Tor life at hard labor in the peniten-
tary"
