morning by fire, entailIng a loss of over
$l,O00,000 in property. Eleven bodies have

rble. Many people from Jerome are ar
irving here on special trains, while those
remaining are being carded for by the
company.
Where the fire originated was the scene
of a drunken carousal last night, ana

be given to the men who are accused.
They are said to be Italians.

she died in few minutes.
Another account of the assassination
of the empress says that after having
been stabbed from behind the empress
rose and walked on board the steamer,
when she fell fainting.
The captain did not want to put from
the quay, but did so at the request of
the empress and her suite, there being no
apprehension that she was seriously hurt.
The steamer was put back before leaving
for the open lake, and the empress, UNI
conscious, was carried to the hotel ON
stretcher.
The murderer is named Luchoni. lie

desperate bravery which occurred dur
ing our war with TripOli. 1t is hardly
credible that this country once paid
large sums to the piratical Barbary
states for leave to navigate the seas
without assault. During the admins
trations of Washington and Adams the

employed in carrying silver coin by the
barrel to the Dey of Algiers and the
Bashaw of Tripoli. BY command of the
Dey the American flag was hauled
down from the mast of the George
Washington, and his own flag hoisted
in its place. and the country suffered,
for long time without protest, similar
indignities from the BashaW. At last
the insolence could be tolerated no
longer, and war was declared. The next
year the frigate Philadelphia struck
rock in the harbor of TripOli, and was
seized by the enemy, the officers were
thrown into prison and the crew OF
three hundred men reduced to slavery.
The Turks raised the vessel, and began
to refit her for use. Lieutenant De
catur, in a little vessel named the In
trepid, with a half-dozen daring young
fellows crept into the harbor at night

under pretense of wanting anchorage.
AS they grappled the huge ship the
Turks leaped to their arms. but the
Americans were already on board.
They drove the crew over the slde'
