AN ASYLUM BURNED.
A LUNATIC'S REVENGE FOR BEING
INCARCERATED.
He Burns the Mad House Over His Head.
All the Inmates But Himself Rescued
The Loss Estimated at $25O,OOO.
Hairbreadth Escapes.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 16.-Fire at the
lunatic asylum here, this morning,
caused great excitement. Two-thirds of
the main building were destroyed, and
the rest badly damaged. The new wing,
just completed, was not injured. The
loss is about $3.50, 900. Only one patient
is known to have been burned. Several
narrow escapes are reported.
The fire was started by d. J. Brown,
an inmate who recently escaped and was
only returned yesterday. When re-
captured, he told the attendants that
it would be worse for him and them if
he we're again confined. His threats
were soon put into execution, he himself
being unable to escape from the build
ing, was burned to death, the only vic
tim Of his own insane deed.
The 600 other inmates OF the building,
most of whom were asleep. when the fire
broke out, were all safely removed from
the main building to the wings. After
performing this extraordinary feat,
Superintendent Mitchell, just up from a
sick bed, staggered and fell under the
fearful ordeal through which he had
passed. Assistant holland Stewart
also succumbed. Fireman O'Donnell
stayed at his post holding the hose
until his shoes and clothes took fire,
when he escaped through window and
jumped into pond.
The building was about two-thirds
destroyed, and there being no insur.
ance, is total loss. The legislature
th IS afternoon appropriated $4,000 to
meet the institutions immediate de-
mands. The patients will all be prop
erly cared for.

Books OF the Bank Ruled Out of Evi-
dence BY the Court.
MEADvILLE, Pa, Feb. 16.--At the Del
amater trial trial today, the members of
the creditors committee were on the
stand. They all testified that G.. w.
Delamater admitted to them that the
liabilities of the bank and firm were
81, 100000. They also agreed that Del
amater said he would take care of $780,
900 of the liabilities, reducing to about
$S00,000 the amount to share in the
settlement. The net liabilities thus far
proven, in addition to the banks liabil-
tiles of $5lS,000, or in all for the firm
and individuals, $675, 900. The prosecu-
tion attempted to offer the books OF the
bank in evidence. The court finally de-
cided to rule out the books, on the
ground that it was contrary to the bill of
rights to permit defendants to incrimin-
ate themselves. The probabilities are
that the case will go to the jury before
next week.

WORLDS FAIR INQUIRY.
A-Sub- Committee Appointed to Conduct
the Investigation.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-The appropri-
ations committee of the house today
provided for the conduct of the investi-
cation authorized by the house into the
expenditures made from the money APP
propriatsd in aid OF the worlds fair
project at Chicago. Chairman Holman
was authorized to designate sub
committee having in charge the District
of Columbia appropriation bill, to make
the investigation. The members are:
Dockery, Missouri; Compton, Maryland;
Breckenridge, Arkansas; Henderson,
Iowa, and Cogswell, Massachusetts,. The

cute It's inquiry in Washington, and not
to visit Chicago unless subsequently

mittee. 1t was instructed to inquire
into and report to the full committee all
the facts it ascertains, emitting any
recommendations. The significance of
this lies in the fact that no authority is
conferred to make any report as to
whether or not the $5,000,000 which
Chicago wants congress to appropriate
for the fair, should or should not be
appropriated.

Dangerous Ice Gorge In tho Al1e-

PARKER, Pa. Feb. 16.-Ice is bound to
give trouble along the low lands of the
Alegheney here. A rise of two more
feet will dump blocks of ice upon the

tonight. The cold weather is freezing
the ice into one compact gorge,
which it will surely require very
high river to displace. The gorge ex-
tends a long distance up the stream. As
far as the eye can reach (about four
miles, the river is a white field OF
broken up ice, packed in by millions of
tons of pressure. Business men are
taking steps towards barricading store
fronts. The water works pumps are un-
der water and the whole aspect gener-
ally is very serious.
