insane ASYLUM Fire.

ANNA, ILL.,. Jan. f. The greater por-
ton Of the Illinois Southern Hospital
for the Insane was destroyed by fire 1T
an early hour this morning. The wing
destroyed contained the quarters of
the female patients 10 the number Of
200, all of whom were, it is though:,
safely removed. Some difficulty Was
experienced in making the transfer,
but there Was no great panic. 1t is
reported that female attendant
named linda Anderson has been burn
ed, as no trace of her can be found.
She may be at one of the villages, how
ever. The loss will am3ult 10
S350,OO0. The physicians, officers IN l
employees in the burned building lose
all their personal effects. The hospital
contained nearly 1000 inmates and the
section which was destroyed was
occupied by over two hundred women.
y, soon as the guards gave the alarm
the insane women began screaming and
rushing to the farther corners of their
cells; they threw themselves in heap
on the floor or cot, and in many cases
it required the united efforts of several
employees to convey them to places of
safety. They were gotten out safely,
however, and were grouped in the snow
covered ground for few minutes
they shivered in the bitter cold air I'M
til they could be marched or carried to
other buildings. Several times some
Of the patients broke away from their
guards and attempted to rush back in
to the burning building. They were
quickly caught, however, and in cases
where they were violent they were
bound to other patients by straps and
ropes.

flesh was burned away clear to the bone.

BRIDE AND WIDOW IN AN HOUR
The tragic story of a bridegroom's sui
eide on his wedding night is told by
the Valparaiso correspondent of the
Panama Star and Herald.
Senior Ernesto Garzia Cruz, account
ant in the Banco de Chile, contracted
marriage with his cousin, Senoriia
lara Garcia Viadaurre. After the GER
emory the guests accompanied the
couple to the house of the BRIDES fami-
ly, where sumptuous feast had been
prepared in honor of the event. As
the espoused pair had known each
other many years it was generally sup
posed that the marriage would be a
happy one. When the time for de-
parture arrived and the expectant
guests awaited the couple to bid them
farewell ere they departed for their
honeymoon, loud report was heard
which alarmed the whole household.
The bridegroom had committed sui
eide. The CONSERVATION was general,
and everything was done to appease
the grief of the almost heartbroken
wife, whose happiness had terminated
in such tragic manner. Medical in
vestigation showed that the unfortu-
nate man suffered from haltuoinations,
and it is supposed that he must have
been insane whon he took his life.

FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. 4, 10 5.

AND NOW Phil Kearney Post of the
C. A. r., III Richmond, has taken up
the cry, and demands that the name of
Appomattox be restored to the post
Office at that place. No matter
how wrong the present administra-
ton may be on other things,
and that it is wrong on many
every body knows, it cannot be blamed
for this Appomattox business, about
which there seem to be great misun-
Outstanding. When the new court
house for Appomattox county was
built, the people there asked that their
postoffice be named Appomattox Court
House, and their request was granted.
AS there could not be two postoffices OF
the same name within a short distance
of each other, the Postoffice Depart
ment requested the postmaster at the
site of the old burnt postoffice to recon-
mend new name for that Office, and
he, after consulting with the people
served with mail there, and at their
suggestion, recommended Surrender as
the name, and to please them that
name was adopted. As soon as the PEG,
pie living near the new court house
shall recommend another name for
their office, it will be adopted, and the
name of the Office at the site of the old
cnurt house be restored. This is the
whole story, and it is plain enough for
all to understand.

CHARITY is an admirable quality,
but it should always be remembered
that it begins at home. Wise men
know this, and act accordingly. Bish-
op Paret, of Maryland, is wise man.
He tells the people of his diocese that,
q Il rifleiHp nlssft they should not exer-
else themselves unduly concerning the
wants of the West or of foreign coun-
tries, so long as the field in their imme-
date reach remains uncovered" There
is no place where such good advice
could be adopted with better results
than Alexandra.

A RESOLUTION will be introduced by
the A. 2. A. in the Washington legis-
lature for the removal of Mgr Satolli,
the papal delegate, from the limits Of
this country. Archbishop Ireland ad-
y.sed the Catholics of New York to vote
with the A. P. A. at the last election,
and took the part of that association
against the attacks of the democrats.
Perhaps Mgr. Satolli may now begin
to doubt the wisdom OF adopting Arch
bishop Ireland's advice, in opposition to
that of all the others members of TIE
hierarchy of this country.

SENATOR HILL AT THE STATE DIN
NER.-The President and Mrs. Cleve-
land gave their first state dinner of the
season at the White House yesterday.
Senator Hill was among the guests.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland
received the company in the East room,
and most of them had assembled when
Senator Hill entered and received a
most cordial greeting from his host and
hostess. The President and Mr.. Hill
met in the general assemblage before
the dinner began, and their meeting
was to every appearance one of ex
IRENE cordiality. They remained to-
gether for some minutes in close con-
versation. The Senator's presence was
a great surprise to every one and Gre
ated quite a mild stir. When dinner
was announced Senator Hill escorted
Mrs. Hearst, the millionaire widow OF
the California Senator, to the state din
ing room.
But once during this administration
has Mr.. Hill before been within the
portals of the executive mansion. That
time wa. just after the arrival of Sena-
tor Murphy, and the two New York
Senators appeared at-the White House
together, but the best information is
that they did not see the President at
that time.
On the way home he declined to
make any statement whatever regard
ing the circumstances of his invitation
and its acceptance except to say: II
was invited in the regular fashion and
accepted 10 the same manner. en-
joyed my dinner and the good company,
and that's all. I know there will be
good deal of gossip about the matter,
but l have nothing more to say"

in the immediate vicinity were in store
