Rurned. Causing $50 o Loss.

HARTFORD. Conn, Feb. n.-Fire broke
out in the Colt Patent Firearms Company's
shop this afternoon, and in two hours de-
stroyed about $4,000 worth of property.
The burned building is a stone and brick
structure, fifty by five hundred feet, and
three stories high, with an immense attic.
1t was the connecting portion between the
east and west armories, and was mainly
used as a storehouse by the Colt company.
The origin of the fire is uncertain. The
attic contained all the Colt c~ompany's pat
terms in English and Circassian walnut Of
Calling guns and all the arms made by
the factory. These burned fercely. making
a magnificent spectacle. The work OF the
tiremen was confined to the western part of
the structure, which was saved. The chtf
losers are the Phoenix and Aetna insurance
companies of Hartford and the National
and Connecticut companies of this city.
The works employ about five hundred
men. The government Calling gun con-
tracts will not be impeded. The wnole
shop was burned Feb. 5, 1864, with a loss
of 81, 500, GEO., not long after Colonel Colts

ROTTEN TO THE CORE.
Gossip About North and
Whitley BANK Failures.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind, Feb. IL
The arrest and subsequent falling OF
Thomson Arnold at Columbia City. yes
terday. as reported in this mornings pa
pers, has caused a sensation in this COM
munity. Thompson Arnold was engaged in
the banking business at South Whitley, and
at the time of the failure of the First Ma
tional Bank Of this city. Of which Jesse Ar
mold, Thompson Arnold's father, was pres
ident, the South Whitley Bank and the
South Whitley mill also closed their doors.
James Arnold. who disappeared ten days
ago TO avoid arrest, was at the head of the
South Whitley concerns, and through the
confidence of the community
which he enjoyed he was enabled 10 close
doors with a balance OF about $4,000 due
cliDed TO hope for a speedy settlement, dol
lar for dollar. as promised, but 1t Is now
known that they will receive but a small
part of il. The Arnolds, up to this time,
have failed 10 account for the deficiency,
and some of the bank books have lately
mysteriously disappeared. Recently the
creditors subscribed a sufficient amount or
money to prosecute the case, and Thomp-
son Arnold's arrest is the first to follow.
He has heretofore borne an unblemiShed
reputation, is a graduate of the law depart
ment at Ann Arbor and n fine orator. 1t is
also reported that twenty indictments have
been returned by the grand jury at Column
bia City against Jesse Arnold, of this city,
who was interested in the South Whitley
institution. This news has excited much
sympathy here, as Mr.. Arnold is believed
TO be the victim of circumstances over
which he had no control, and for which
James Arnold is responsible. His aged wife
Is believed to be on her deathbed, and 1T Is
hoped that no steps will be taken toward
his arrest.

THE LAFAYETTE MYSTERY.
Miss Collins Secures Bail and Will BE
Keard This Afternoon. y

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 1l.-There has
been no progress made in ascertaining who
forged the two notes that bear the names
of Edward Dill and his father, Calvin Dill,
one for 5000. which had been sold. and the
other for $500, which Miss Anna Collins
was endeavoring to sell. Saturday after
noon was the hour fixed for a preliminary
examination of the young woman in whose
possession the observation-disclosures note was
found. When the time arrived Mr.. Hay
wood, the attorney desired by Miss Collins,
was not in the city, and she asked a con-
tinuance until his return. The Mayor put
the case over until Monday afternoon. Then
a new question came UP. For three days
while Miss Collins had been virtually I'M
der arrest, she had not been in tho Jail,
the police superintendent having sent an
officer to stand guard at her room do2r.
holding that Miss Collins must do as every
other person does who is charged with an
offense of this characteroofurnish bail or
go to Jail. Miss Collins finally secured q
lady and gentleman friend to go upon her
bond for 81. 900, but her friends tied a string
to their action They were willing to give
this bond ON the condition that Miss Col
Inns would submit to the same surveillance
that had been going on for three days:
namely, have a, police officer stand guard
over her room door. and prevent her leav-
ing the premises. To this request Miss
Collins offered no objection, seemingly be-
to go to Jail. The city, however. declined
to detail one of the regular force to stand
guard, and a special officer was sworn in
that the prisoner or her friends shall foot
the bill for his services. The case contin-
ues just as mysterious as ever. no new de-
~velopments having been brought to the sur
face as yet. The young woman has re-
covered her composure and does not seem
to be in the least alarmed at the outcome,
saving that when she goes uDOn the wit
ness stand she will tell the truth, let it
harm whom it will. as she has been in
formed by her physician, she says, that she
is not likely TO live long, and she does not
intend to tell any lies for anybody"

in the retail trade of the city. About every
article. from a piano to a pair of shoes,
has been raffled off by merchants. The
scheme is to sell numbers, drawn by

which holder of a number should get the
article. For instance. for a suit of cloth

and the numbers running high enough
to make. when added, $50, and beginning
with cent, were sold, the person drawing
his number blindly. In the rattle il was
possible for the holder of the 1-cent slip to
get the suit of clothing. For a pair of shoes
there would be fifty numbers. which. added,
amounted TO S12. 10. Merchants who did rot
want TO engage In this sort of business

jury looked into the matter. The laws in
this State are very strict and the Supreme
Court has held that it is an offense to offer

ileged to make a guess. The court has held
that all distributing of awards or prizes

LINCOLN'S PLACE IN HISTORY.
VIII BE Known to POsterity as Mo
Than an EmancipatOr.

The Rev. John Coleman Adams maintains
in the February Century (Which Is largely
a Lincoln number) that Lincoln was much
more than the great emancipation. He says:
This conviction is pronounced with a full

chief renown as connected with the race lac

great achievement of that struggle, and
that the war was waged to decide whether
this should be a free nation or a land of
bonds and stripes. But the wiser years
will decide against us. All our thankful
ness and honor to the man who made the
act of emancipation a weapon with which
to strike rebellion must not blind US to
the fact that this splendid stroke of pol
icy, this noble deed of statecraft, was only
an incident and not the aim of the strug-
gle. Viewed in its relations TO the long
the work of civilization. the American PEG;
pie under their great leader were engaged
in determining whether the great principle
of federation, the peaceful coexistence of
great States, should succeed or fail. They
were in a struggle to decide whether the

ham Lincoln'S clear, unerring eye perceived
the meaning of the s,t% struggle; his strong Sqgs

a tenacity that could be expressed only

We have thus far been accustomed TO
rank our great President among the heroes
OF our own land, and seldom have dared
to talk of him in connection with his place
among the worlds famous ones. Some
times it has seemed to come to us that he
was worthy a fame outside the limits OF
this land. Some rare voices have found
courage to say, as Lowell said.
Here was a type Of the true elder race.
And one of Plutarch's men talked with US
face TO face"
There is enough in his personality. so
fresh, so strong, so inspiring, TO justify
our highest pride in him, and to make us
hold up this new product of our new land,
whose honesty and strong good sense.
whose earnest faith and indomitable pur-
pose. fit him to stand like a modern Aris-
tides or a new world Cato. But when the
slow Judgment of years is made up. il
will take this man Of the West. who led
us through the fires OF a terrible civil strife,
and, seeing how his achievement reached
oct TO all mankind and secured the work
which cost the toll. and struggle of ages.
will range him side by side with the men
who saved Greece from Persian barba rism,
and those who saved Rome from Gallo
anarchy, and those who gave this CONT
nent to the free institutions of the English
race.

Remember this II you are feeding cattle.
