HEAVY LOSS TO A COLLEGE.

The New Mechanical Laboratory at Pur-
due University Destroyed.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. 24.-The great
mechanical laboratory of Purdue uni
versity is in ruins, the result fire
which broke out in the engine room at
$50 p. m. The building was begun a
year ago and was dedicated last Friday,
Governor Matthews having accepted it
then in the name of the state. The
flames were famed by stiff wind, and,
owing to an inadequate supply Of water,
the fire made rapid Roadway, until
within two hours nothing but crumb bling
walls remained. The building cost
100000 and the equipment was put in
at an outlay Of $4,000 not including
many valuable donations. The total
insurance will not exceed $4,000. 1t
was the largest and finest structure in
the Purdue group, and the loss to the
institution will be keenly felt.

TROOPS AT JACKSONVILLE,

The Second Battalion of the State Guard
Arrive on the Scene.
JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 24.-Tangible ev-
idence of the governors opposition to
the Corbett- Mitchell contest presented
itself during the evening in the arrival
of the Second battalion of state militia,
comprising four companies, under COM
mand of Adjutant General Horton and
Major G. P. Lowell. Some of the SOL
diers are far from pleased at the Kisses
and groans accorded them by many peo-
pie lining the street who were undoubt-
edly sympathizers with the proposed
prize fight. A detail of several men
were placed in charge of the baggage
and the remainder of the militia, under
command of their commanders, marched
up Bay street, thence out to the Wilson
Battery armory. The men were very
angry when they reached the armory,
claiming that the Kisses and other in
suits which they were subjected to on
the march from the railroad station had
left them with no good feeling toward
people of Jacksonville.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Jan. 24.-Char-

miles, followed by % rundown, Was COM
pleted at 10 a. M, and from now on he
will quietly rest until he enters the ring
doing no more work than is necessary to
keep him in condition. He is still very
confident of the outcome and laughs at
the odds quoted against him. Concern
ing the proposition to adjourn the fight
until later Mitchell was very emphatic.
He looked supremely Disguised when he
heard OF the possibility of postpone
ment until Saturday and then remarked,

sition from the club unless it is made
worth my while. I have finished my

The Milwaukee Banker Found Guilty Of
Fraudulent Acts.
MILWAUKEE, Jam M.-After deliter-
ating for three hours, the jury in the
case of John B. Koetting, cashier of the
defunct South Side Savings bank, re-
turned verdict of equity on the Sec
ond count" This count charged Koet-
ting, as s'owner" Of the bank, with
having received deposit after he knew
the bank to be insolvent. An arrest of
sentence pending an appeal to the su-
preme court will not be granted, and in
q day or two Koetting will probably be
in prison for term of from one to ten
years.
The South Side Savings bank closed
its doors July 81 last, during the panic,
and the evidence at the trial has shown
the management to be about as bad as
1t could be. Koetting took flyers in
wheat and lard with the savings of Wild
ows and orphans, and the list of paupers
he made has never been equalled in this
community by any one man. The bank
Is estimated to be $500, 900 short.

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The Times pub

Since the arrival here of the Aquide-
ban the insurgents have been gaining
ground steadily They appear to be
more confident than before and public
opinion ashore is becoming more favora-
BILE to the revolution.
On the morning of Jan. Is the insur-
gents attacked Mocangue island. The
insurgent troops landed just at day
break and Immediately charged the gov
eminent battery, capturing it's Krupp
field pieces, one heavy Whitworth and a
large supply of ammunition. The in
surgents then turned the battery against
the government troops stationed at
Moro D'Armacoa and Punta da Arcia.
A sharp hand to hand fight took place
on the island and was maintained for
half an hour. At the expiration of this
the government forces surrendered. The
total loss to the government on Mocan-
que island was II men killed, Is men
wounded and three officers and 100 men
taken prisoners. The government loss
on the mainland is unknown, but must
have been heavy. On the side of the in
surgents five men were killed and seven
wounded. Both sides showed pluck,
but the determined rush of the sailors
Overcame all resistance.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The vote on
the tariff bill thus far, especially upon
matters in which many members were
interested, such as coal and sugar, has
revived talk of movement to 1ecommit
the entire Wilson bill. Representative
Haines of New York has been arranging
such move, but the members of the

the contrary, the committee is well

Representatives Bryan, Whiting and
others of the committee, expressed SINH

effect a combination to recommit the

Resolved, That, from the facts and

Rio DE JANEIRo, Jan. 24.-After long

orders to his new warships, purchased
in the United States, to sail southwark

said to be working to the satisfaction Of
the officers Of that vessel.
A great deal of comment has been ex-
cited by the visit of the insurgent Ad-
miral da Cana to Admiral Benham. It
confirms the rumors current here for
some time that Da Cana has made pro-
posals to Admiral Benham to act as

ence lasted four hours. The nature of

WILL THEY FIGHT?

Certainty.
STATE MILITIA ON THE SCENE,

Amid the Kisses Of the
People.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Jan. 24-Will
the fight be pulled off in the arena in

The concensus of opinion seems at late

based on the belief that Judge Calls
temporary injunction against the sheriff
and his officers will be made permanent
after the hearing of the arguments.
The governors views on the matter
were sharply defined during the after
noon, when the Second battalion of state
troops arrived in the city under the
command of Major Lowell. The sheriff
had little to say on the subject, and was
evidently awaiting the outcome of the
legal proceedings. One thing is certain,
that many of the soldier boys from out
side points in the state, who have been
rudely snatched from their business, are
In Very Ill Humor
over the whole affair. All of the men,
bers of the command now here are from
points from outside of Jacksonville, and
many or them were not slow, when seen
outside of quarters, to express their
anger that they had been ridiculed dur
ing their march up Bay street. They
asserted loudly that they were here to
obey the commands of their superior,
and if the governor should issue orders
to proceed to extremities to prevent the
proposed mill they would act as soldiers
should act under such orders. The
opinion seems to be general, however,
that there will be no occasion for any
extreme measures.
Referee Kelly has not got the cold
cash he was looking for yet, and the
club takes the position that it will not
take any action now towards converting
the check into coin of the realm until
some decisive point is reached in the

Both Commodities Placed on the Free
List by the House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The house
has determined on the abolition of the
duty upon refined sugar, which was
passed upon just before the house adj
journed the previous evening, as an
amen ment to an amendment offered by
Mr.. Robertson, one Of the Louisiana
sugar men. A way out of the confusion
which existed upon the effect of the
amendment adopted was found after a
two hours discussion Of the parliament
tary situation by submitting the ques-
ton to the house as to whether the War
ner amendment placing refined sugar on
the free list should be considered as a
substitute for the Robertson amend
ment. This was decided affirmatively
and then
by an Over whelming Vote.
in which the Republicans joined with
the radical Democrats against the sugar
men and several members of the ways
and means committee, the substitute
was adopted. With regard to the sugar
schedule, therefore, the committee of
the whole has abolished the bounty and
placed all sugar, both raw and refined,
upon the free list. When it came to
consider the coal schedule, however, the
committee Jared much better and all
four OF the amendments, designed to
place duty of from 40 to rs cents per
ton upon coal, were leaten. The debate
upon the coal schedule developed great
deal of feeling among the Southern
members, especially those from Virginia,
West Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama,
whose states are interested either in coal
or iron ore. The general impression is
that
The Defeat of the Sugar Men
and Of those who are interested in re-
tanning a duty upon coal will result in
strengthening the movement developed
Oh the Democratic side to recommit the
bill. II the iron men are defeated, and
especially il the income tax should he
placed upon the bill as rider later in
the week, another strong faction on the
Democratic side will be added to the
movement. The Republicans will all
vote for the motion to recommit, and,
with the Democrats who do not care to
vote against the bill outright and who
are dissatisfied with it in it's present
form, they may be allie to muster ma
1ority and send it back to the commit
tee. This is now admitted ON all hands
to be the chief danger to the bill. If it
could be brought to direct vote there
y no question about it passing.
