Legislature Burned Out.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. "a fire,
which started in the rooms Of Lieu.
tenant Governor Lyon some time
this morning swept through the an.
cient Capitol of Pennsylvania and
within an hour and a half after the
breaking out of the flames, the struc.
ture was in ruins. The senate AID
house were about to reconvene for
their afternoon session when the first
flames burst through the walls and the
lawmakers were driven for their live
to the open air. As far as known no
one was killed, but number OF people
were in the building trying to saveturn
iture and other effects when the dome
fell in, and it is possible that some one
may be buried under the ruins.
Qlite number of people were cut
and bruised or half smothered by
smoke, but no one was seriously hurt;
The most valuable of the state and
legislative records which were IN the
building were saved, but the records
and statistics of the department OF
public instruction, which included
much valusble information bearing
upon the public schools OF the state,
were destroyed. The legislature will
find temporary home tomorrow, the
senate IN the rooms of the Supreme
court and the house in the United
States district court, in the post
Office building and the legislature will
at once take steps to have the capitol
rebuilt. The total loss is estimated at
nearly million of dollars, on which
there is an insurance of but $500, 600.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

Desritution in Louisiana.

New YORK, Feb. 3.-Congressman
G. J. Boatner, OF Louisiana, who is N
the citv, said that about 100, 900 people
are destitute in the northwestern part
of this state, because of the failure OF
their crops. He had received dis
patches from a New Orleans editor,
Stating that the people needed seed
with which to make new crops, and
asking him to make an appropriation
therefor. Il shall not ask congress to
make appropriations for seed" the
congressman said. because l feel sure
that President Cleveland would veto
any bill of tha. nature. He vetoed a
bill of a similar kind for the sufferers
in Kansas some years ago. He ex-
plained the reasons for the fearful
condition, which were as follows:
Last year we had drought for four
months. 1t not only killed the crop,
but the streams dried up, cattle dleo
or those that lived became very poor.
The drought was confined tc the hi!ly
or sandy soil and not to the rich ailU-
vial lands Of the Mississippi, Red and
Oachita rivers. The alluvial lands,
however, can stand longer drought
than the other lands. There are
about 100000 affected by this failure
to make crops and we are doing all we
can to help taem. The state of course
will do all it can to prevent them from
suffering; but they are in actual want.

SEVEN PERSONS BURNT TO DEATH.

Hts Family Burn 10 Death.

EoEoKES, n. J., Jan. 5l-This city
was visited by two disastrous fires De
tween 1l:3G Saturday nigGt and )
o'clock this morning. Seven persons
were burned to death and thirty fanl,
lies were made homeless. The Satur'
day night FIRE started in the three story
frame building at 400 Newark street.
Here six persons los. their lives. They
were: Mrs. Nellie Schroeder, 40
wears old; Henry Schroeder, / years
old; Maggie Schroeder, I years o:d;
Kate Schroeder, years old; John
Schroeder, 3 years old; Willie
Schroeder, 5 months old. The father
of the family, Charles Schroeder, w&s
in nearby saloon playing cards
while his wife and children were dY
ing.
The second fire started at 3 o'clock
this morning in the five story deck
tenement ct 157 Fourteenth street,
over a mile from the scene Of the first
In the first three tenements, Nos. 155,
157 and 159 were entirel y wrecked
and No. 153 was damaged badly ov
water. One child was burned to death
on the fourth floor OF No. l57. She
was Mabel Mangles, s years old. As
rear as can be determined the ire
last night at 40 Newark street started
in a defective fue in Schafer's wheel
wright shop on the ground floor OF a
three story frame building. Schatfer
occupied the second floor as living
apartments. The front rooms on the
third floor was occupied by Charles
Schroeder and his family, while James
Blanchfeld and family occupied the
rooms in the rear. The Blanchfelds
discovered the FIRE which had gained
such headway and b lrely made their
escape by way OF the roofs ofsjoining
buildings. 1t Itwasimpossible to discover
the fate Of the Schroeder family until
the fire had subsidized.
When the police entered the build:
ing little save the she'll remained and
they were obliged to exercise great
care in climbing about the place.
They finally reached the top floor and
made their way into the front room:
Stretched across the bed, blackened
and charred lay the mother, and
clasped tightly in her arms was the
little baby, Willie. Besides the mother
ard baby in the same bed, lay the
charred bodies of the girls, Maggie
and Kate. 1t is likely that they were
suffocated in their sleep. On mat,
tress on the floor near the window lay
the body of the boy, John, bat the
body OF Henry, the Oldest boy, was no
where to be seen. Upon further search
bsing made the boys body was found
under mass OF debris in the hall,
burned almost to crisp. It is be-
lieved that the boy was aroused dur
ing the FIRE, and in his efforts to es-
cape ran into the hall. There he was
overcome by the smoke and his body
was covered with par. of the roof
which fell in at that point. The loss
10 the buildings and its contents will
probably not exceed SIS, 900.

8 Note of Alarm.

RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. 2.-The Pro
gressive Farmer. the organ of the
National Farmers Alliance, has the
following: 1--WE have just learned
of gigantic and diabolical combine
about to be effected to control the
price of cotton. The plan is to Sc
cure charters and establish gins with
compress attachments at as many
points as possible in the cotton states:
The bales are to be round instead OF
square. Cotton buyers will co-ope'
rate and force farmers to have their
cotton ginned at these new gins by
refusing to pay as much for cotton
put up in the ordinary way. This
will compel the present owners OF
gins to 60 out OF business. The rail-
roads will haul round bales cheaper
than square bales. The cotton seed
oil mills will like the new gins and
congresses, be located mainly on
railroad lines, and the seed men will
always be on hand to get bargains, as
many farmers would sell seed cheaper
rather than haul them long dis
tance nome. To defeat this scheme 1t
will require the united efforts of all
the farmers in the cotton states. 1t
is probable application will be made
for charters for such entersprlses IN
the present and all legislatures held
in the near future.
