INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 22.-One
Of the most appalling fires in the
history of indianapolis occurred here
early this morning. The National
Surgical Institute, four-story brick
building. burned to the ground. The
bodies of nineteen inmates, burned
almost beyond recognition. havebeen
taken from the building or picked up
on the sidewalk, where they had
jumped from the upper stories, up to
seven O'Clock. The fire started about
midnight in an Office on the bottom
floor and is supposed to have been
caused by spontaneous combustion of
some chemicals. Fifteen minutes lat.
or pandemonium reigned among the
hundred and forty-siX dwarfed and
crippled patients and thirty nurses,
sleeping in the upper floor rooms.
Young patients in utter helplessness
rolled out OF bed and wriggled or
crawled over the floor in vain en-
deavor to cave their lives. Some sprang
from windows and others rolled head.
foremost, down stairs while all uttered
shrek after shrek as they realized
their terrible danger. Small children,
with braces enveloping their limbs
and bodies, could be seen wriggling
out Of rooms filled with fire and
smoke, and begging for rescuers TO
save what life remained within them
Those that could be reached
were placed on cots and
taken to the annex across the
street, where they could be seen
stretched upon improvised beds,
spread on tables and lying on the
floor; little children moaning and cry
ing and coughing, their faces blanched
with fear and their tbroats rasped
with the pungent smoke they had in
hailed. Mr.. Lazarus, of Texas, jumped
from a second floor window and may
die. Miss Fannie Brodie, Memphis,
Tenn WAS burned in q dozen places.
The two are the only southerners
nurt. Two babies were thrown from
the second floor window and willing
hands below caught them safely.
Leonors Knowles, of Independence.
Ind, jumped from third. story win
dow, escaping with q sprained back.
Little Ethel Piatt. eight years, was
found on the third floor In her bed,
half strangled with smoke and help
less from spinal trouble. She vas
taken to q window on the second floor
and thrown out. The killed and in
jured were from New York, Wiscon-
sin, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, and
range from to 25 years ofage. Total
number injured, %; killed, 10.

The Juch Opera company's engage
ment ip San Antonio, as In the state,

although their engagement here
closed last night and they are due in
Laredo tonight, yet they are still

something like s., 600 served on the

and Great Northern depot this
morning i'm favor OF Fl. Greenwalt, of
Dallas. This held the company here
long after the time of the departure of

usually starts at 9:35, but which wait.
ed for the company for one hour and
q half for the manager. Chas. Locke,

The company are still in the city up
to $50 O'clock this afternoon. The

left for Laredo. The company will

Because She is a Woman.

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. pa negro
women named Caroline Ship MUIR
dered her hus band at Dallas, q little
town in CASTOR county this state q
few months ago by poisoning him.
She was tried, convicted and sentence
ed to be hanged today. Numerous
petitions have been sent TO the Gov
ernor during the past few days pray
ing that her sentence be commut-
ed to imprisonment for life.
The only reason why clemen-
CIV is requested, is on account
of her sex. The murder was cold
blooded one. The trial Judge and
the prosecuting attorney say there is
nothing to recommend her 10 mercy.
Governor Holt has given the matter
careful attenti and decided that
she must hang. He has signed the
death warrant and written a letter to
the sheriff of CASTOR county directing
him to carry out the laws mandate.
Unless he should change his mind
later in the day the murderess will
surely "shuffie Off"

Boycotting Sunday Papers.

MONTICELLO, ILL.,, Jan. 22.-Rev. j.
D. Long, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, pitched into the Sunday
newspapers in his sermon last Sab
bath, and..as q consequence q boycott
is likely to be inaugurated against the
Sunday papers by his congreka alton.
He urged the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. the Grand Army
of the Republic and other societies TO
refuse to patronize any paper pub
fishing q sunday edition, on the
ground that such papers are demon
alizing to society and the best in
terests of Christian religion. The
newspaper men here are anxiously
awaiting the coming Sunday to see
how much their papers will be hurt.

To Corral the Cigarette.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-It is pro-
posed to curtaiI the baneful effects of
the cigarette habit under the internal
revenue law. The tax is now so cents
q thousand. BY increasing the tax
IS a thousand packages of ten cigar
cites would be sold for Is cents, thus
preventing a very great measure the
use of them by poor boys. Professors
of colleges, teachers of schools, Tenn
perance societies, the Woman's
Christian association, health as
sociations, and many organizations
are opposed to the use Of
cigarettes and would restrict their
sale. They are looking anxiously for
some better way than the passing Of
state laws and the measure proposed
is thought to go farther toward that
end than state laws.
