power to commute sentence, no warrant
was given bv law for the execution OF that
communication. Certain other minor points
were also brought in.
Justice Harlan, who delivered the
opinion of the court, took the ground that
the prisoners had been denied due pro-
cess, because not present when the Illinois
supreme court had PASSED sentence. The
opinion says the supreme court OF illinois
was not one of original jurisdiction. The
| whole argument in the trial of the prison.
ers, it saws. proceeds upon the assumption
that the supreme court of Illinois pro-
nounced the sentence of death, and such
is not the fact That sentence was pro-
nounced bv the court OF Cook county and
| the supreme court of Illinois merely re-
| fixed tie day in conformity with the Grim
inal code OF Illinois. The court holds that
no constitutional right of the prisoners
vas denied by the supreme court refusing
10 enter on its records the TACT that
SelVTab and Fielden were not present
wheu judgment was pronounced. In
readi.7A- the opinion the justice made no
menti,NA OF the point that the governor
could commute but not provide for Its
execntio,x. Gen. Butler, the counsel for
the anarc hist, was present when the an
nonncamen,t was made. The decision was
unanimous.
The INnsiey WOrsted Act
The "no-ouo uIm" case, in which the
legality of the -Oingley worsted act was
attacked by BALM, Joseph & Co., import
ers. was also deci aed. The Dingley act
was passed through Nhe action OF Speaker
Reed in counting a quorum when there
was a quorum of me o1bers present but
not voting. The importers maintained
that Speaker Reeds actto was In Viola
ton OF the constitution and than an act
passed in this manner was Vold. Inc T..
:. circuit court for the sOuthe1 district OF
New York decided against tVte Unite d
States and in favor Of the importers on
this ground so that the case before the
L. 5. supreme court was adverse TO the
constitutionality OF the "no-qN orum
method of parliamentary procedure. The
court, in an opinion by Justice Brewer,
held that the ''nO-QuOrum" rule was wand
and that the house of representatives had
full power TO make such rule.
The decision OF the lower court in favON
of Wellman IN the case of the Chicago
& Grand Trunk railroad company vs..
Thomas Wellman was affirmed. The
point at issue was the conslituhonality of
a Michigan statute regulating passenger
rates on mileage basis, the rate being on
sliding scale and made according to
gross earnings per mile. The railroad at
tackled the Jaw.
The Judgment of the lower court in the
case Of the. Washburn manufacturing
company VS. the Beat EN- All barbed wire
company was reversed. This case in
volved title to patent 10 the
barbed vine invention. The court
saws it is disposed to consider any doubts
it may have in favor of the Washburn
company upon the ground that the inven-
tor through whom it claims to have title
had hitherto proved failure, success,
and that be rendered it possible to utilize
the barbed wire now in use in every cat
tle-raising country in she world.

When 1t Yves Built and How It Was
Managed.
Mrs. Hendricks, president of the board
OF managers, returned from the fire about
10 o'clock, after all possible temporary ar
rangements for the shelter OF the inmates
for the night had been effected. Nine
teen years of hard labor in ruins" said
she to q SENTINEL reporter. Nineteen
years of unceasing work for the good of
others gone for naught"
what is the history OF the institution"
she was asked
II have nothing at hand from which l
can give you accurate data" she replied.
The reiormatory was founded by act of
the legislature in 1870, and on Oct. 81 of
that year was formally opened, fourteen
women being transferred from the prison
south. Thev were a forlorn set; as
wretched a group of outcasts as l ever
saw. None of them were satisfied They
had been unused to the influences which
were thrown around them there and
would undoubtedly have much preferred
remaining at Jacksonville, where
they were permitted to chew tobacco.
The establishing OF the female reforma-
tory was the outgrowth of the efforts of
Mrs. Sarah J. Smith. She was English
born and had an extended experience
among the inmates of British penal institu-
tlons. She possessed a remarkable aptitude
for controlling by moral suasion women
OF depraved dispositions. She and
Mrs. Coffin visited the prison
south, where male and female
prisoners were confined under one roof
and one management and became i'm
pressed With the necessity for a separate
prison for women, managed by women.
Through their efforts, aided by Mrs.
Joseph L. Mcdonald and other ladies
here, a small appropriation, fol-
lowed by o moro liberal one, was
secured from the legislature. Mrs.
Smith was the first superintendent of
the institution and retained that position
for nearly five years, or until she went to

The Indiana woman's prison and reform
school for girls, Just east of the city, was
destroyed by fire last evening. 1t was one
of the bestcOnducted institutions in the
country The buildings were in the best
condition and equipped with fire system.
On every floor there were two lines OF
hose, and several large fire cisterns
were about the grounds. Shortly
after o'clock fire was discovered in
the laundry of the institution and the
flames could have been controlled had it
not been for the hose bursting. The
laundry was in the northwest portion of
the building, having been built but two
years ago. The fire was first seen by
Julia Kerr, one OF the inmates of the re-
form department. she having gone to this
room after leaving the supper table.
She quickly told Mrs. Pearson,
one OF the guards, who notified the as
sistant superintendent, Mrs. Johnson.
Miss Kelly, the superintendent, who had
been in the city during the afternoon,
arrived just as the fire was discovered.
The day Waterman, passing the window
of the laundry, noticed smoke issuing
from it. and summoned Immediately the
night Waterman and engineer, just as the
fire alarm from box S23 was sounded by
the tower Waterman. They, with the
attendants, succeeded in quenching
the flames, which were under
complete control, until the hose
burst. 1t was ct first supposed the racks
and tables were on fire, but when the
Waterman entered the house he found
the walls burning. The small ante-room
under stairway Just off the laundry was
where the fire had its origin. While the
hose was being mended, from the charred
boards the flames burst forth again with
greater fury. The stairway afforded

had been sounded. The wind, which was
very high, famed the flames and the
wood work and partitions furnished ma

in the rooms were licked UP and the
flames continueds to spread with lightning

the heat was intense and
the grounds were brilliantly lighted for
two hours. At times the smoke was very
dense, but this was all blown TO the east
and south, and thousands of people gath
cred about the grounds and surrounding
streets. The bars over the windows
seemed all that confined the mass of
flames on the inside of the burn
ing building. Water was of
no avail in subduing the
free element. Several times the walls
were heard to crack and Chief Webster at
once ordered the ladder away from the
west wall. The crowd heard loud report,
followed by a dense shower of sparks.
The cause for moment could not be i'm
agined, but it was the supports that had

The immense mass of flames furnished a
dreadful sight and could be seen in full
for long distance. as the buildings stu
ated in the center Of a large tract of
ground without other surroundings gave
an uninterrupted view. At one time the
roofs and turrets were all ablazs and the
flames seemed TO fairly dance in the havoc
they were creating.
The behavior of the prisoners, with few
exceptions, was excellent. When the fire
was first discovered the inmates of the re-
form department were ordered to the
grounds in charge Of a half dozen attend
ants. Four persons confined in the hos
pital ward were carried to places
OF safety in another portion
of the building. For moment
the women and girls were panic-stricken,
but Miss Kelly, the superintendent, and
Mrs. johnson soon relieved this state of
affairs by prompt and vigorous speeches.

is for Grover Cleveland. that matchless

to him from first to last if he has the least

though, when the convention comes to-
gether that Cleveland is the choice of a
