THE BURNS ANNIVERSARY.

Last Nights Gathering of Clansmen and
Lassies was Pleasant one.
aThe audience that assembled at Music
Hall last night to celebrate Burns Ami
versary was not very large one, that Is
compared with previous years, but that
those present had gathered for the purpose
OF enjoying themselves, was plainly visi-
BILE from the first, almost every number on
the programme being oncored, some two
or three times.
The concert opened with apiano solo 10y
Mr., George ii. Lomas Of this city, who
played a Scotch overture by Prckoll in a
mastery manner, notwithstanding the
annoyance of people entering during the
performance. The Boylston Quartetto
followed and gave, as their first number, Il
very beautiful arrangement of Annie
Laurie, the magnificent bass voice OF Mr..
Babcock taking the melody. So well did
this selection please double encore was
demanded, and each Of the quartettc's FOL
lowing numbers was equally well received
The Boylstons proved themselves to bo
one OF the best male quartettcs that has
been heard In this city.
Miss Pausen, who is said to be one of
Boston's leading contraltos, fully sus-
tanned this distinguished claim. Her rem
dering OF "The Aulo Scotch Sangs' was
delightful, and she was favored with one
OF the most enthusiastic cncorcs OF the
evening. II is to be hoped that Miss
Paulsen will be heard in this city again
10
brought down the house and had his en-
core selection been OF lighter character
he would have had to respond a second
time. Mr.. Bartlett sang the "Star of Glen
gary" This piece has been sung at Burns
anniversaries in this city before, but Mr..
Bartlctt's rendition of il was delightful,
and far surpassed any previous attempts
by other artists.
Master Cornier proved himself t. be
quite master with the cornct, Hs did
Master Kennedy on his chosen instrument,
the violin. Both were well received.
The selections OF Nr. Dow, the humor-
list, were not appropriate TO tho occ,.i 3D..
Had they been more So, he would have
been better received. However lac was
favored with an encore after both oI his
selections. The concert as a whole was
one OF the best that Clan Fraser has ever
given, and expressions Of satisfaction
were heard on all sides at the cloSo of the
concert.
No time was lost in cleaiin ing the floor
for dancing, and under the able direction
OF Professor Stariyweathor, very ntri-
cate and beautiful grand march was gone
through, led by Chief George A. Saunders
and wife. 1t was well into the wee
sma' hours of the morning before the
merry dancers with their "Ii-lIis' and
war hoops had reached the final number
on the order Of dances Fred Padley with
a select orchestra furnished the dance
music which was very satisfactory. Thus
the eighth annual Burns Anniversary
celebration OF Clan Fraser, No. II, q. S. c.,
was brought TO n successful close.

Lauds Third Party to

LAW AGAINST SENTIMENT.
The Quo Warranto Case Now in the
Hands Of the Supreme Court.

The quo warranto proceedings against
Mayor Carroll were continued in tho Su-
prcme Court this morning before Chief
Justice Mattcson and Associate Justices
Douglas and Rogers.
The case for the petitioners was opened
by Cyrus G. Van Slyck, who based his en-
tire arguments on the section of charter
requiring seven days notice. lie cited
quite number OF authorities in support
Of his contention.
He seemed to rely principally upon o
clause in chapter 23s, section of the
Public Statutes. He spoke for about
FIFTEEN minutes and his father, City Solicit
tor Van Slyck OF Providence, followed him.
He claimed that great outrage had been
perpetrated upon the citizens of Paw
tucket and lauded to the skies the partiCs s
oontending for their "rights." He
claimed that his side represented all that
was good in Pawtucket politics and said
that a combination of Democrats was
formed to defeat the candidate of his
clients. He fought shy OF Attorney
Browns argument.
His whole argument seemed to be in
the nature Of complaint that it must be
. crime for the Republicans to vote for a
Democrat for Mayor unless his own
clients could select Democrat.
His address seemed to imply that the
electors were influenced by desire to
"work" the city for "what there was in
it,"to use his own words, although he
carefully avoided stating that the Gas and
Street Railway Company was populaily
supposed to be in some such scheme rs
that when it proposed the Third party
candidate.
spondent, showing the absurd position
taken by the petitioners, pointing out
how they stayed away from the polls on
the advice OF counsel and not from In
sufficient notice.
He also cited the fact that some OF them
did visit the polling booths but would not
vote and that Il was well known that the
notice was sufficient.
He claimed that two of tho petitioners
did actually vote on December 5, and that
neither of the candidates for the Office OF
Mayor was dissatisfied, consequently no
one was injured and the case was brought
simply to see whether the advice OF coun-
sci to abstain from voting was good or
not.
The court took the papers and reserve d
their decision.

EIGHTEEN cRIPPLEs DEAD.
And Twenty Injured Is the Record Of
the Big Fire at Indianapolis.


INpIANAPoLIs. Jan. 23-Eighteen dead
Is the record of the frightful holocaust that
resulted from the destruction OF the Ma.
tional Surgical institute yesterday morn
ing. The fire was discovered about mid
night and about go crippled people were
in the institute at the time. The build
ing was almost totally envelopcd I'm
flames.
In the small rooms throughout tho
buildings were from one to four beds, all
occupied by patients, many OF whom were
perfectly helpless. When they became
aware Of their peril their fright was sw-
full. They became frantic in their efforts
20 reach places of safety, but there were at
least eighteen, perhaps twenty, who per
ished
When the fire was discovered every
means OF escape was cut of, and many
perished. The flames ate up the entire
interior Of the building, and, when the
floors gave way and fell TO tho bottom.
there is no telling how many people were
killed.
The surgical institute was veritable
fire trap. The stairways were narrow, the
halls dark and the whole structure laby-
rinth. In some parts of the building the
stairs were SO old and worn that extra
boards had been nailed on the steps. The
firemcn performed many acts of heroism,
and several of them were badly hurt
There was total insurance of S5l, 500 on
the surgical institute buildings, furniture
and surgical supplies. The exact loss can
not be estimated. but it will aggregate
az least $4,000.
EARLY in the morning ghouls began their
work among the ruins, and no small
amount of jewelry and valuables were
stolen.
Russell Troy was arrested. Money and
other articles supposed to be stolen were
found in his pockets.
