Pen BARN IS BURNED
Barn at the State Penitentiary is
Completely Destroyed by Fire
Last Evening.

From Mondays Daily,

From Mondays Daily.
The barn at the state penitentiary was
destroyed by fire early last evening, the
flames burning the original barn erected
at the state institution with the stabling
addition erected under the direction Of
Warden Boucher several years ago.. The
fire originated in the hayloft, but the
causeis not known. The regular crew
of men employed about the barn had
been taken off for the day a few minutes
before the flames were discovered, and
there were two men who had just n
tered the building with work teams
when the smoke was seen by one Of
them, issuing from the roof of the struct-
ure,, The alarm was at once given and
the employees of the institution fought
the fire and succeeded in saving the
horses, with one exception and some of
the contents, although the rapid spread
ing of the flames and saving the adjoin-
ing property, prevented the salvage of
other contents of the barn, which were
cumbersome and difficult to move.
Adjoining the barn : the pig pens
and the COW barns, and these were
saved by the hard fighting against the
flames and the favorable direction of the
wind. The stone walls which are a part
OF these structures were also of service.
The total loss on barn and contents
will be about $1,000. The losses include
three farm wagons, the penitentiary bus,
farm implements, consisting of seeders,
plows, ETC., a number of sets of harness,
a quantity of grain and one horse. The
insurance, which was placed on the
building and contents in 1896, consists of
$1,000 on the barn, 500 on horses and
$500 on contents.
The fire started at 6 o'clock and the
flames could be plainly seen from the
city during the progress of the fire.

Anxiety for Mrs. Matthews, who Is
Haggard and Weak Under
Her Great Strain.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

special 70 the indianapolis Journal
CLINTON, Ind, Aug. 29.-The remains of
Ex-Governor Matthews, accompanied by the
immediate members of his family arrived in
Clinton at 144 o'clock this afternoon and
were taken direct to Hazel Bluff farm. The
coffin was covered with flowers, tokens of
sorrow and respect from the different towns
along the journey from Wingate A large
concourse of citizens was at the station. 1t
was not a congregation of curiosity-seekers,
but gathering of citizens inspired by sor-
row and sympathy for the bereaved family.
Mrs Matthews, who bore up we'll at the
start, is fast giving away under the terrible
strain, and there is much anxiety for her.
She is haggard and weak, and required sup
port while walking from the cars to the
carriage.
1t has been decided that the funeral will
be held Wednesday. At II 80 a. M there
will be short sermon at the Hazel Bluff
mansion by Rev e. w. Souders, and after
this service the remains will be brought to
Clinton, where they will lie in state for
three hours. They will then be taken to the
Clinton Cemetery, where a short funeral
sermon will be delivered by Rev. Joseph
Anthony Milburn of Indianapolis, if he is
able to reach here from Tennessee, after
which the ex-Governors body will be buried
beside his son, who died three years ago.
There will be no attempt at pomp or dis
play, as it has always been the ex-Gover-
nor's request that he be given a plain
funeral.
There was a joint meeting of the Council
and citizens tonight to perfect arrange
ments to entertain those who come from
distance to pay tribute to a man who has
won the love of the people, both as an Off
cial and as a private citizen. Word has
just been received that a special train will
be run from Indianapolis, and that Cover
nor Mount and staff and a majority of the
state officials will attend the funeral. There
will also be special trains from Terre Haute
and Danville. and it is believed the sad oc-
casion will call together the largest crowd
seen in Clinton in many months All amuse-
ments for the week have been called off.
Business of all kinds will be suspended, and
the people of Clinton will spare neither
pains nor expense in showing for the dis
tinguished dead that respect which his
worth as an official and citizen merits.

SPECIAL TRAIN FROM HERE.
Meeting of officials i'm the Governors
ParlOrs.


All the State officials met yesterday morn
ing in the Governors parlor to perfect ar
rangements for attending the funeral of the
late Governor Matthews. The first meeting,
which occurred during the morning, was
adjourned in order to allow the city officials
and other representative citizens to attend
the meeting and make it rather an Indian
apolis affair than simply that of State Of
ficials. Last evening the meeting was at
tended by Mayor Taggart, City Attorney
John w. Kern and others of the municipal
government, together with all the State Of
ficials H
At the opening of the meeting Governor
Mount was made chairman. In addressing
the meeting Governor Mount said concern
ing the dead Governor: THE State feels
a deep sense of sorrow at the death of the
great citizen who has just departed. There
is not a house in Indiana but what mourns
for him His career was remarkable one,
testifying as 1t did that he was a polished
cultured gentleman. His grasp on the peo-
pie was marvellous, and too much honor can
not be given him in DEATH
In closing his remarks Governor Mount
asked for the expression of the meeting as
as to what steps to take in the matter of
attending the funeral. Mayor Taggart asked
if it would be proper to offer expressions
of sympathy to the family of Governor
Matthews, and was informed that this had
been done. 1t was found that all present
desired to have a special train engaged to
carry those who desired to attend the fun
eral, the leaving time to be fixed to suit the
party. Representatives, of the Vandalia, Big
Four and l., D. & w. railroads were present
to make proposals for carrying the Indian
apolis party, but none of them wanted to
make a rate until it could be determined
how many would be in the party. The l.,
D. & W., however, made a proposition to
carry the party, irrespective OF numbers,
for $3.50 for the round trip. The train will
leave Union Station at o'clock tomorrow
morning, and returning will leave Clinton
at p. M, arriving in Indianapolis at $50

There seems to be a misrepresentation on
the part of some of the claimants Creditors
cannot present their accounts direct to the
War Department. The law provides thai
all accounts must be paid by the States and
the general government will reimburse the
States. The principal delay likely to be oc-
