FREMONT TEMPLE BURNS.

The Loss is Estimated at a Quarter of
bAillio Dollars.
BosToN Mass, March 21.-At 7:40
Sunday morning fire was discovered in
she fremont temple which is located
On fremont between School and Bloom
field streets. The fire was first seen by
The policeman on the beat who rushed
TO the Parker house just adjoining and
turned in an alarm from private box
Of the hotel. In less time than it takes
to tell the story the whole temple was
in flames. The temple is building of
about the same proportions as DIR. Tai
mage's tabernacle in Brooklyn, N. Y.
1t will seat between 5000 and 5000
people.
The interior of the temple was soon
entirely in flames before the fremen
could reach the scene. A general alarm
was turned in and all the fire engines
in the city quickly responded, but it
was impossible to check the passage of
the flames in an hours time the mag
nifcent temple was in ruins The loss
to the building is estimated at $780, 000
For a time it was feared that the
Parker house, the once swell hotel of
Boston would be destroyed. The Parker
house is an eight-story building cover
ing nearly an entire block.
The guests were quickly aroused from
late Sunday morning maps and though
there was considerable excitement in
the vicinity of the hotel the damage to
the house itself will not amount to
$780, 900.
This is the third time that fremont
temple has been destroyed by fire.
Nearly five hundred persons were in
the Parker house, but all escaped with.
out injuries Buffers dry goods store,
adjoining the temple, and the Burn
ham building between the temple and
the Parker house, were completely del.
uged and badly damaged by smoke and
water. The Parker house, Lubins'
drug store, Mrs. S. A. McDonald's drug
store and number of small concerns
in the basement of the temple were
Quilted by the flames.
Sunday night the roof of the fremont
Temple was open to the sky and the
back wall ready to fall Nothing re-
manned of the celebrated organ, the
largest in the world, but mass OF
twisted pipe, and cataract of water
was pouring down the staircase. The
hall under the temple is in ten feet Of
water. The temple is insured for $780,,
900. The old stores and buildings were
partially insured

Connecticut Conyicts.

lain's cruelty and neglect
Several were dubbed to death and the
common punishment for trifing of
lenses was confinement in dungeon.
Many more were strung up by the
thumbs, and keepers were sent in front
of the starving wretches with tempting
food to tantalize them. Several victims
were choked, it is alleged, and died

were forced by the warden to keep
silent. An official investigation has
been ordered.

have started in to reduce the amount
of red tape used in the departments OF
the government to cut off superfuous

Great abuses have grown up in the
minor affairs of the conduct of the

many employees whose services can be
dispensed with, as they represent
former conditions that have passed

grown up that should be succeeded by
a modern way, and bookkeeping, open,
