REFORMATORY BURNED.
The State woman's Prison at In
dianapolis, Ind, In Ruino.
But the Two Hundred Iamates Escape
Without InJury-Of the Number of
Female Incorriglbics Now mt Largo
Some Were Lifetime Prisoners

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 2-Thc
Indiana Female reformatory, located
In the eastern suburbs of Indianapolis
was almost totally destroyed by fire,
which broke out at six o'clock Tuesday
evening. The fire, from the best infor-
nation now available, was of incen.
diary origin The three culprits re.
sponsible for the fire are Emma Jean
Thompson, Gertrude Owens and Julia
Kerr, whose ages range from twelve to
fifteen years These three morally
dwarfed unfortunates were inmates OF
the reformatory department. and dur
ing the afternoon were at work in the
laundry.
The alarm was given, and Thomas
Barrett the Waterman, got out the
hand hose. This was piled with such
effect that the fire was thought to be
extinguished, but at the critical mo-
ment the hose burst and the flames,
elm bing up partition, communicated
with the upper stories, and the building
was doomed. A general alarm was
turned in. and every engine in this city
was called out Then followed scenes
of pandemonium and confusion that
baffied description. Confined in the
building were two hundred and fifty
two inmates, of whom one hundred and
fifty were in the reformatory and fifty
in the penal departments.
Some were life prisoners confined for
murder. Others had been convicted OF
all the crimes in the calendar, but the
majority were simply incorrigibles.
The guards were totally inadequate to
prevent the escape of such prisoners
who desired, and only n general sur
VIGILANCE could be exercised. The
gates were thrown open. and all the
prisoners were ordered out but were
directed to remain within certain
bounds In all cases, however, the or
der to remain within certain bounds
was not obeyed, and Mt this writing
there is no telling how many escaped.
The scene presented ut o. clock was
highly spectacular The immense struc-
ture was enveloped in flames and light
Ing up the grounds to the brightness of
day. A half-dozen engines PLAYED on
roof and walls Bevies of women were
scampering about wrapped in quilts
and sheets
Bedding and bed-clothes were piled
over an acre of ground. Police were
patroling the grounds to prevent il
possible, the escape of prisoners, while
patrol wagons and every quality of
conveyance were transferring the pris-
oners to the county Jail and police sta
ton. Others were domiciled in the
criminal courtroom and in the asylum
for the deaf and dumb
The Indiana Female reformary was
built in 1867 Since that numerous
wings have been added, until its df-
mansions were about three hundred
feet square. Part of it was four stories
high, and part of it but two. OF recent
years 1t has been entirely under the
control OF women, and is regarded as n
model institution. Its present board of
directors is composed of Mrs Thos A.
hendricks, Mrs. Charles Wilker and
Miss Laura Ream. Miss Kelley is the
superintendent

WHISKY TRUST IN BOSTON

BosroN, March 3.-The announce

time In some quarters-was confirmed

person Is made public.
DR. Nathaniel Ware Halves, n dentist
with an office at 159 Newbury street, is
now stated to be the indicted person,

as yet been arrested. DR.. Halves ad-
mits having talked with one of the
jurors about the case, but wholly de-

or that he had any intention whatever
of influencing the jury.
According to his statement, having
personal friends among the whisky
trust, he said that if henderson, the
trust could be heard by the grand Jury.
an indictment would never be found
against them. He had committed no
intentional wrong, and was willing to
go into court and tell frankly just what
his conn ection with the case has been.

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT.
An Iron Association which VIII Probably

An Iron Association which VIII Probably
Cause Great Labor Fight-A War to
tho Death.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, March ga new
association of iron and steel manufacs
turers, representing thirty firms in
Pittsburgh and the Ohio valley. and
employing nearly 40. 900 men. has been
organized II is stated that this organ
ization. which is entirely independent
of the Bar Iron Manufacturers associa-
ton and the Tin Plate association, will
make determined effort for an early
adjustment of the wage scale. The as.
ISOLATION, it is said. will demand from
the Amalgamated association change
in the base of the scale which has here
tofore been dictated by the bar iron
men. The association will also demand
that there shall be three turns of eight
hours each, and that hereafter all work
shall be paid for by the ton. and not by
the day or piece work.
That the new association will meet
with determined opposition from the
Amalgamated association and the bar
iron manufacturers is certain. The
propositions are the most radical vet
presented to the Amalgamated associ-
alton, and unless complied with means
war TO the death between the manu-.
facturers and the labor organizations,
and will affect the iron and steel in
dustries of the United States. Negoti-
ations have been under way with John
Jarrett U. $ consul Mt Birmingham,
to induce him to accept the secretary
ship of the manufacturers new associ-
alton, and while no definite arrange
ments have been made. it is reasonably
certain that he will be secured and will
take charge of the new iron and steel
association.
Between thirty and forty thousand
men are employed by the firms repre-.
sented. The association is opposed to
any reduction in work, and will en-
deavor to secure the full output of the
mills owned by the members
No halfway measures are contem-
plated, but each and all of the demands
made will be urged and insisted on.
The association is composed of the
wealthiest and strongest firms in the
iron and steel business, and that it will
maintain its demands there seems to tc
no question. 1t inaugurates the great
est struggle between capital and labor
yet had in this vicinity.

Reward of One Thousand Dollars
Onercd-So Chew to the Robbers.

CoLDwArER, Mich. March 4-The
Coldwater National bank was robbed
The estimated loss is $4,000. The rob
bers drilled the outer door of the vault
and with n punch broke the lock Off
The middle door was secured with n
paddock. This was probably broken
with sledge. The inside vault con-
tanned one burglar-proof combinations
lock safe and one steel safe with time
lock. These were drilled. and. it
is thought, charged with dynamite
The doors of both safes were
blown completely off wreclling both
safes and leaving nothing but n
she'll of each The conclusion shat
tered the wooden shelves inside the
vault and scattered the contents of tho
safes and the shelving about the floor.
There was no one sleeping in the bank.
The discovery was made by one of the
employees on opening the bank Thurs
day morning. No one heard the explo-
sion. There is no clew TO the robbers.
The bank offers n reward of $500 and
the sheriff offers $500 additional for the
apprehension and conviction of tho
thieves. II is the most daring robbery
that has ever been committed in this
city.
The thieves gained entrance TO tho
bank building by prying open an out
side window. 1t is learned that there
were two explosions heard by people
living short distance from the bank.
This took place between $3.50 and s
o'clock 4. IN. There were a number of
special deposits in the vault consisting
of watches and diamonds valued at
about $1,000 About $500 in gold that
was badly mutilated and bent out of
shape and also a quantity of silver
ware, were left by the robbers,
Among other securities taken was n
private deposit of 81. 600 worth of Phil.
adelphia and Reading railroad income
bonds, whose numbers are as follows:
$50 to 500 inclusive: also. l, 714 to /, T26

found in the bank with about an ounce
of liquor remaining in it. This is sup

craftsmen. Some tools. consisting of
punches and chisels. with the sawed off

this city where, being freed shortly af-
