HORROR At INDIANAPOLIS.


sixteen Dead Bodies Taken From the
Ruins OF the National Surgical Insti-
tute.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan 22.-The de-
struction by fire of the National Surgi-
cal Institute at an early hour this morn
ing, was the most horrible catastrophe
that ever occurred here. Sixteen dead
bodies have been taken from the ruins
and it is believed that others have
persisted.
The list of identified dead is as fol-
lows: Stella Spies, aged 10, of McComb,
o; William Ramstcck, 10, of Milwau-
kee; 1rma Payne, II, st Paul; Minnie
Arnold, II, residence unknown: Fred
Dockendorf, 22.e Saltwater; George
Ellis, 90, Kentucky; George Mclean,
81, Caldwell, Indu The others have>pot
been identified.pG
The flames were discovered at 1850
o'clock issuing from the advertising
room of the building, and are believed
to have been caused by spontaneous
combustion of chemicals. The floor of
the room was Uttered with papers, Civ
ing the flames every opportunity to
spread rapidly. When the alarm wa
rung at midnight the fire had gained
considerable Roadway and could not be
saved.
Many of the patients were cripples. A
number jumped from the windows and
were either killed or seriously injured.
| The police aided the firemen in holding
| blankets and nets and in this way many
were saved. The spectacle was awful
| to behold, and although the firemer
| worked with desperation it was impossi
bic to prevent great loss of life.

New HAVEN, Jan 22.-George E. AL
word, mail carrier running between
the towns of Morris and Thomaston in
Litchfield county, was brought before
United States Commissioner Wright
yesterday for a hearing by Inspector
PendletOn of the postal service. 1t is
charged that on last October Alvord was
entrusted with a letter containing a
draft for $40. This letter was lost.
Some time later Alvord went to a man
in Thomaston and had the draft cashed
after he had forged the name of the
payee. The man who cashed the check
did not turn the draft over but held it
until he discovered that the signature
had been forged, when he compelled AL
word to turn the money over to him
again. The affair coming to the ears of
the post office authorities they caused
the arrest of Alvord, who was brought
here by Inspector Pendleton and turned
over to the care of Marshall Loveridge
Commissioner Wright held him under
bonds of 81, 900 for trial on next Mon

what is claimed, a more wonderful per-
sonage does not exist. If he be an i'm
poster, then he is the most marvellous
imposter of the age. The audacity of
his pretensions, the skill with which
they are maintained, and, above all, the
profound effect produced upon all who
come in contact with him have no par
allel in modern history. So strong in
deed is the impression created by his
doings that the procurator of the holy
synod and other high ecclesiastical Of
ficers of the empire dare not interfere
This strange person, says the Chicago
News, is named Tagarelli, and is of
French or Italian extraction. He was,
however, born at Tif1is, in the Caucasus,
where he has lived since childhood He
has been bedridden and utterly help
less. A few months ago a curious
change was observed. In brief, he died
to all appearances. According to all
ordinary tests he was certainly dead.
That was on Saturday. They prepared
his body for burial. The corpse lay in
its coffin until Monday. when the fu-
neral was to take place. At the very
hour set for the obsequies the young
man suddenly returned to life. Ever
since the same event has occurred every
week.
He declares that he really dies and
that his spirit, departing from his body,
passes into the other world. What
manner of world it is he will not di-
vulge, nor will he tell anything of his
doings there save one. That is that he
has access to the book kept by the re-
cording angel in which are set down all
the sins of humanity. There is scarcely
person in Tihis who has not visited
him. They all plead guilty to the
charges he reports against them and
tearfully beseech him to intercede with
the powers of the other world in their
behalf. Thousands of people from all
parts of the empire daily throng about
his cottage, seeking to know from him
the story Of their own i'll deeds. Many
of them go in idle curiosity or in q
sl1eptical spirit, but all who are admit
ted TO his presence come away con-
vinced Of his superpAtpral l<nowledxs.

AMuSEM ENTS.


The large and critical audience at the
opera house last night enjoyed one of the
richest treats of The season. The play
was "Alabama," of which SO much has
been said and written: but not too
much. 1t is purely American drama,
the scene beng laid in the south,
eighteen years after the war. The story,
in brief. tells of the estrangement of
Colonel Preston, an Alabama planter,
from his son, who gave his services to
the north during the war. Eighteen
years later he arrived just in time to
prevent the contamination of a great
wrong against his former sweetheart
The plot is interesting, the denouement
being carefully concealed until the
proper time. The dialogue is bright and
there are many strong scenes. OF the
company, nothing but words of the
highest praise can be said. As colonel
Frank Bangs seemed perfection. Burr
Mcintosh, as Colonel Moberly, repre-
sented the free and easy southern gen
tleman, gallant and honest. Clement
cambridge, as Harry Preston, after
wards Captain Davenport, had a
most difficult part and made
the most of it. Miss Zenaide Vislaire
excellently sustained the part of Carey
Preston, a pretty and innocent little
girl with faith equally divided between
her grandfather and lover. Miss Jennie
Eustace as Mrs Page, a widow, was
tenderly sorrowful. The other char
acters, O'Dell Williams as Squire
Tucker; Fred G. Ross, as Mr. Arm
strong; Frederick Conger as Lathrop
Page; j. G.. Saville as Raymond Page;
George Bunny, as Decatur; Mrs Francis
Kinharvie, as Mrs Stockton, were ex-
cellent, as was the little lady who repre-
sented Atlanta Moberly, but whose
name was omitted from the pro-
gramme.
"UmcIe's Darling"
Hettie Bernard Chase, the petite and
pretty little coincidence, will appear at
the opera house tonight in her own
play of "Uncle's Darling" The piece
is a sensational comedy and the intro
duction of a team of reindeer, troupe
of esquimauX dogs, a polar bear and
many ingenious stage mechanisms gives
a startling flavor of effective realism to
the production. Part of the action of
the play takes place in Alaska and gives
opportunity for some novel arctic
effects.

A more satisfactory minstrel enter
tainment than til one presented by Hi

the crowd would heve been larger.

found his brother in sitting posture.
He attempted to rouse him but found
that he was dead. Mr. Hayes called in
several men and word was sent to Drs
AxteIle and North, who made an in
vestigation.
Mr. Hayes told a reporter that his
brother frequently slept in the office.
He was a large man, weighing $50
pounds, and was frequently troubled
with difficult breathing spells. He was
unmarried.

THE SACRIFICE TOO GREAT.
The State Board of Trade Made One
Mistake.

The State Board of Trade Made One
Mistake.
The state board of trade made one
mistake in resolving to urge the general
assembly to appropriate anything at
this time for the worlds fair. The first
thing for the general assembly to do is
to complete the election process. Until
that is done no business can be trans
&C ed, except at the complete sacrifice
of popular government in this state.
The theory that the general assembly
ought to go on with the public business
spread. But that view is wrong. 1t is
subversive of our form of government.
1t would tamely submit to the nullIfi-
cation of the will of the people and set
at naught the principles upon which
the government of this state rests, in
order that the business of the courts
may not be delayed and 1.-THE pride of
Connecticut may not suffer at the
Worlds Columbian exhibition. That is
too great a sacrifice. The seriousness of
it does not seem to have been fully ap-
preciated, but it will be appreciated,
and the steadfastness of those who
stood up firmly against all compromises
and arguments looking to the abandon
ment of the sacred trust committed to
them by the citizens of this state will be
regarded as the defenders of the peoples
rights. 1t is better that there should be
some temporary suffering than that the
one great principal for which our
fathers fought and died should be OBJ
scured or abandoned.-New Haven
Register.

KELLY SAYS

That honest competition is all right.
Competition, the gigantic power that ele-
waited us all to the present state of evolu-
ton 1t is true that competition has
been and is now abused, but every insti-
tuition is subject to abuse and the misuse
of a thing does not demonstrate that the
thing in itself is wrong. Nobody can
deny that competition during the centu-
ries of Christian civilization has developed
the brains and muscles of the human
race and that the continuous best efforts
of humanity, stimulated by competition
these many centuries, have lifted our race
to a standard where the mode of living of
common Bakers is more comfortable and
desirable than the everyday existence of
the Kings of which Homer sings.
Every generation has to battle with GER
tain problems, and it is my lot to battle
against grocers who buy Niagara Falls
Flour and sell it at a lower price than the
cheapest grade of flour on the market, and
by doirg SO lose money and try to injure
the sale of this -four. This is not honest
competition.
Niagara Falls Flour will make more
bread and the bread will keep moist longer
than that made from any other grade of
-four.
