All the PatIauts Rescued From the
Burning Building.
The centre building and south wing
of the Southern Illinois Hospital for
the insane at Anna, was burned at H.
so o'clock Friday night
The building contained 900 patients,
all Of whom were gotten out safely.
None of the attendants or patients had
time to secure their clothing, and the
snow worked great hardshipa in trans
ferring the patients to other quarters.
1t is now thought none Of those con-
fined in the asylum are at large,
though desperate attempts at escape
were made during the progress Of the
fire. aud it was with great difficulty
that the poor creatures were kept tor
gether. They were removed to a new
building. The patients will be taken
care Of ia the best possible manner
under the circumstances.
The loss viii exceed $500, 600. The
centre buildings and south wing are
completely destroyed.
Terrible confusion prevailed during
tho fire and it is miraculous that many
lives were not lost. The fire wns UNI
der complete subsection before day
light. The flames we're first discover

md cannot be accounted for. The

some reason the system was Intellectual

AT the opening of the sessioii The
speaker laid before the house the resig-
nation of Representative Painter, of
the fifth Kentucky district, TO take eff
feet when he assumes his new duties as
Judge Of the court Of appeala.
BY vote of 81 TO 50 the Democratic
house caucus voted Monday to endorse
the Carlisle substitute currency bill
now before the house. Speaker Crisp
took the lead in presenting the resolu-
tion and ia vigorously urging the
necessity for its adoption The Coins
mittee on ruleswas instructed to bring
in rule to close the debate.
The result Of the caucus is regarded
with considerable apprehension by
friends Of the bib. The 81 votes which
the measure commanded in caucus is
far short of the number necessary to
pass it in the house. II is believed,
however, that many OF the 80 votes
recorded against the resolution will Ee
changed now while the Carlisle bill has
the prestige Of the caucus endorse
ment But there were several promi-
nent leaders who asserted at the close
of the caucus that the vote showed
couclusiyely that the bill could not
pass.

ed by Mr.. Henderson Of Illinois, who
