A CHiLDREN's HOME
BURNED.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 8, 1895.-The
Franklin County Children's Home, two
miles northeast of the city, burned early
this morning. The city fire department
was called at $50, but owing to the
long run, the fire had enveloped the
whole building before the engines reached
the scene The children, of whom there
were one hundred and forty-seven in the
Home, were just rising. The attendants
hurriedly marched them from the build
ing, and it is believed by Mrs. A. D.
White, the Superintendent, that all were
saved. The Panhandle Railway Com.
pany. along whose line the Home is To-
Gated, sent out special train to bring
the children to the city, but as the
weather was terribly cold, many of them
had to be taken to the houses in the
neighborhood, where they are temporari-
ly quartered. Being thus scattered, it is
difficult to tell whether any children are
missing or not. The attendants say all
the children under their care were taken
out and that there were was no panic.
TIL building was a large three-story
brick, built fifteen years ago at a cost
of $125.000. The Superintendent, A. D.
White, died two years ago and his wild
ow was placed in charge of the Home by
the County Commissioners. She thinks
the fire originated from defective due.

Ru CdbIe fo the IInife,I Prose-

PARIS, Jan. 8, lSs6.-The Paris press
are jubilant over the defeat of Dr.
Jameson and his followers by the Beers
near johannesburg. The Figaro, in
an article under the caption ''Will Cecil
Rhodes Remain Premier of the Cape
Colony?" says: How President Kruger
must laugh at the result and how abun-
dantly justified he is in doing so.''
The "Gaulois" says:-"The Beers merit
the public esteem which their grand vic
tory has gained for them by showing
that they are as wise and liberal in
their triumph as they are energetic in
the hour of danger
5 The "Rappel' says that Germany,
France and Russia are in accord and
asks what England will do in the cir.
cumstance. Having the United States
already on her hands, the paper asks,
will she dare to defy the military pow
erS of Europe?"
The "Lanterne" says:-"Great Brftain's
contention that foreign powers have no
right to intervene in the Transvaal is
neither more nor less than the applica-
tion of the Monroe doctrine. pure and
simple to her own ADVANTAGE"
