In style of architec- ture it is classical with renaissance embel- lishments. The front toward Bellevue av- enue is grsced with an immense Corinthi- an portico. The house was designed by Architect Richard M. Hunt of this city,
 who designed the administration building for the Columbian exposition, and has been now some three years in course of construction. It Is built entirely of the purest white Rutland marble from Yer mont, and Caen stone brought from Caen in France. It is embellished with the

SET ON FIRE BY CONNECTS.

A BiG Blaze fin the Workshop Of T Prison - Considerable Excitement Among the Inmates-Their Plan oi Escape Failed-A Large Crowd at ths Scene.
 BOSTON, April 1s.-Soon after 6 o'clock tonight fire broke out in the three-s story
 brick workshop connected with the state
 prison in the Charlestown district and the
 shoe shop and a portion of the gliding
 room were completely destroyed. Two
 alarms brought fire apparatus from the city proper and after a stubborn fight the flames were mastered. All the prisoners
 were locked in their cells and as the prison
 building was on the opposite side of the
 yard from the burning shops their lives
 were at no time in danger, although there
 was considerable excitement among them.
 Details of police were sent to the prison to
 guard against any possible emergency, but
 their services were only needed to keep in
 check the immense crowd that gathered in
 the vicinity. The total loss by fire will
 probably be $12, 900 to $15, ,0O0.
 The fire broke out in the shoe shop, di-
 rectly over the engine room, and was first discovered by Assistant Engineer Earring ton, who was making his regular rounds about 6 o'clock, and the alarm was quickly sounded from the prison box. As disturb ances at the prison have usually been pre- ceded by fires the alarm from the prison box caused much apprehension among res idents of the district lest the prisoners had again risen in revolt against their guards, and people focked to the vicinity from all parts of the city. As the various pieces of fire apparatus arrived on the scene the prison gates were thrown open and they were admitted to the large enclosure, from which they fought the flames to good advantage. Thick brick walls alone saved the other shops, in which were stored large quantities of lumber, trunk and harness stock. A large number of small wooden buildings on Rutherford avenue in the rear of the workshops were also endangered, but were saved. The prisoners had been locked in their cells about an hour, when the fire broke out and caused but little trouble. A few of them began to yell and bang their dippers on the walls of their cells, but they were soon quieted by some of the cooler heads. It is believed by some of the off, cials that the fire was set by convicts in the lasting room by means of slow match, which they had endeavored to time so that the fire should burst out while the men were all in the yard going to supper, hop ing that in the resulting excitement some of them might escape. If this was their plan it failed to work. This is the first serious fire at the prison for several years.

FOURTH.CLASSP POSTMASTERS.

Repre0en10t1Ve Lo0&e'S H1u TOT the
 New Method of Selecting Them.
 WASHINGTON, April 23.-An interesting proposition embodying new method of selecting fourth h-class postmasters is un- der consideration by the house committee on reform in the civil service. It is con tained in bill introduced by Representa- tive Lodge of Massachusetts. The bill proposes that postofdce inspect ors shall pass upon the qualif- cations of candidates for appointment ss fourth class postmasters and designate to the postmaster general such persons as they think fit to be appointed to the office. The postmaster general is to select one of the candidates so designated as fit selects any candidate other than the one graded highest by the inspectors he is to place on record his reasons.
 The chief object and declared purpose of the bill is found in 8 section prohibiting the postmaster general, for political req sons or upon political grounds from ap- pointing. or a postofice inspector from recommending for appointment any per son to the office of postmaster | of fourth-clas postofice and | they are to prevent as far as
 they are able any person from disclosing the political connections or opinions of any
 applicant. The committee to-day discussed the details, but came to no conclusion Some members of the committee objected | to the proposed new method on the ground
 that it would prove too expensive.

A Report That He is Rapidly Grow-

 Incurable.
 NEW YORK, April 1s.-Dr. Lyon, super intendent of Bloomingdale asylum, denied a report which was current yesterday that Actor William J. Scanlsn, who has been an inmate of the asylum about four months, was rapidly growing worse. He said that when Scsnlsn was first placed in the asylum he had frequent attacks, dur ing which he was violent. The attacks were now much less frequent, and did not last so long. He had such an attack a week ago. He became irritated at an at tendant about midnight and smashed some of the furniture in his room before he could be got under control. MT. Scan- Ian realizes where he is, says he will soon be cured and talks enthusiastical- ly of resuming his theatrical duties His case is, however, considered incurable. He has changed greatly in his manners, and at times sits for hours looking out of the window and speaking to no one. Friends visit him frequently.

DEATH OF HARVEY KNowLToN.

The History Of the Recapture of a
 Gloucester Schooner Recalled.
 GLOUCESTER, April 1S.-Hsrvey Knowl- ton, owner of the fishing schooner Edward A. Horton, which was seized by the Cana disns in 1871 for violating the three-mile rule and was afterward recaptured by her owner, died yesterday.
 The vessel had been taken to Guysboro, N. S., where she was stripped, tied to a wharf and government seals placed upon her. Knowlton went to Guysboro incog, and got a number of his own men ashore from another of his vessels He suc- ceeded after a tedious delay in se- curing a man to act as pilot and one night when all had been arranged, they proceeded to the wharf, broke open the storehouse where the sails were, reha- bilitated their vessel and got away to sea without being discovered. The affair ere ated great sensation at the time and Canadian and United States cruisers sought vainly for the Horton, which finally reached Gloucester, where her owner received e public ovation.
