EXCITING SCENE.

The Careless Work OF a Timer Causes a
Destructive Fire and Great Peril to Pa
tients at cincinnati Ss.nitnrium.
CINCINNATI, April IA careless tim
ner upon the roof of the College Hall
sanitarium yesterday afternoon caused
loss of from 500, 900 to $3.50, 900 of
property and imperilled the lives of 200
patients. a hot soldering iron was
permitted to ignite the roof, and the
flames quickly got beyond the control
of the water works of the institution
and those of the village of College Hill.
tendent, DR.. Oeverts, directed the at
tendants to give every effort to the
task of safely removing the sick, the
insane and the ailing patients. In this
they were faithfully assisted by the
villagers, who focked to the place.
The scenes, with all the great struct-
ure. four stories in height, filed with
patients, were exciting. The insane
shrieked and tore their clothing; the
less unfortunate were distracted with
fear and begged to be helped away from
the flames. 1t is believed that every
life was saved and every inmate except
two men and one woman safely housed
in adjoining buildings and in private
houses In the confusion two men and
one woman escaped to the woods A
searching party was sent after them.
The main building was entirely de-
stroyed. It has been used as a sani-
tarium for the private treatment of the
insane and others for eight or ten years
The loss is from 500, 600 to $3.50, 200,

MYSTERIOUS WAVE.
FRESH Water ssSalts'' Marvel at a Phenom-
eunn of Naturo.

Fresh-Water .sSalts' Marvel at a Phenom-
of Nature.
CHICAGO, April S.-Early yesterday
morning huge wave swept into the
mouth of the Chicago river from the
lake and played havoc with the fleet
moored there ready to start eastward
with the opening of navigation Con-
siderable damage was done and it will
take several days to restore or
der. Heavy gales prevailed on
Lake Michigan during yesterday
and last night, and the water in
the river rose and fell several times as
the heavy swells from the lake were
forced into the narrow mouth of the
river Little was thought of these
movements and no extraordinary pre-
cautions were taken when the small
crews on board the heavily laden YES
sells at the outer docks of the river
turned in for the night. When the big
wave came at about 2:30 they were
rudely awakened, and all hands rushed
on deck
The wave was five feet high and car
ried away everything that fell in it's
path. Theories as to it's cause were
plentiful. Some old lake men declared
that there must have been a volcanic
distur bance in the lake, while others
again declared it to be a species
of tidal wave. and were inclined
TO connect it with the warm,
sultry weather that followed After
having been loaded with their cargoes
of grain the steamers and barges had
moved down to the mouth of the river,
in order to be ready to start without
much delay, and because dock space
was scarce farther up the river. AS the
wave swept in between the piers aud
bore up the river it tore huge steamers
and barges from their mornings, and as
it receded, it carried them out into the
lake. And it had plenty of material to
TOW with T.

EXTRA. SESSION TALK.

Certain Straws That Show Which Way the
Wind Blows in the Direction of an Extra
Session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, April S-There are
some circumstances connected with the
reorganization of the senate by the
election of democratic officers who are
to enter upon their duties at the be-
ginning of the first session of the Fifty
third congress. whether regular or exc
traordinary, which have given ground
for suspicion that an extra session of
the congress will be called at an earlier
day than was supposed
The first proposition made by the
democratic caucus was that the new
officers should supersede their republic
an predecessors on July L This was
opposed by the republicans upon the
ground that all the presidents were.
that reorganization of the senate en-
ployes had never been made during the
executive session of the senate at the
beginning of new administration, but
the old officers had always held over
until the beginning OF the regular ses-
sion of the congress when legislation
could be perfected by the concurrent
action of both houses. The proposition
that the new officers begin to perform
their duties at the commencement OF
Fifty third congress has been regarded
as a compromise. But the actions of
the leading democratic senators have
given ground for the belief that the
Fifty-third congress may be called by
the president to meet in extra session
before July 1.
A gentleman who is close observer
of political movements at the capital
said that while he had no reason to
specify for his belief, he was of the
opinion that an extra session of con-
gress might be convened within six
weeks 1t is the expressed desire of
President Cleveland to have a revision
of the tariff passed by congress to go
into effect long enough before the next
election for the people to understand
effects before expressing their Opin-
ion upon it at the polls, Noyem-
Der, 1894. An extra session OF
congress-, convened next September,
would not be able to do more than
formulate the details of tariff bill be
| fore the extra session must adjourn, in
order to permit congress to meet again
in regular session on the first Monday
of December. On the other hand, il
the extra session should begin in May
or.June. a tariff bill might be passed
/ by the house in four months if the next
| house should adopt rigid rules
The most important of the rules sc
| far as the passage of a tariff bill is con-
cerned is that which would fix the
! quorum Of the committee of the whole
| at 100. Unless this rule be adopted
| and that which authorizes the bunting
of aquorum of members present wheth
| err voting or not, a twelve months con
! tinuous session of the house would not
! De long enough to revise the tariff
| against opposition.
