AS certain as wound leaves a scar and
as sure as effect follows cause do men live
TO repent their follies and indiscretions in
weakness and suffering. The tortured suf-
ferer may bear no tell-tale marks of ruin
upon his face 10 betray his lost manhood.
He goes 10 his grave human wreck and
never tells of his sufferings for fear OF
shame. Such mental anguish at times
drives him TO the verge of desperation. and

Turing hopes OF cure only to disappont. and
after robbing him of his money plunge
him into absolute despair.

three degrees below zero when the IRE
started, and the flames were famed by
strong wind from the prairles. The efforts
to check the fire were seriously handi-
capped by the cold. The attendants had
great difficulty in restraining the inmates
OF the main buildings, who saw from the
windows the glare Of the lre, and for
time were in state OF grea: excitement.
Owing to the crowded condition. OF the
main building the cottage where the lire
started was occupied by the female pa
tients. The basement was used as laun-
dry, and 1t was in the dry room OF tho
laundry that the fire Is supposed to have
started.
As soon as the alarm was given the at
tendants made every effort to save the pa
tients. As many OF them as could be
aroused and got out OF their rooms were
sent or carried down the narrow passage-
way from the third story to tho ground;
There was no time to dress, and rushing
out into the snow in their night clothes,
the women suffered terribly from the cold.
As quickly rs possible those who got out
OF the cottage wsre hurried into the main
building.
The fire spread so rapidly that before all
the inmates could be gotten out the atten-
dants had to rush from the building to
save them selves.
All that remains OF the structure are tho
bare, gaunt walls. At the bottom OF the
basement were found the bodies OF the
seventeen victims.

A MILLION DOLLAR BLAZE.
The BROOKLYN Navy Yards Big Machine
Shop Totally Destroyed.

The BROOKLYN Navy Yards Big Machine
Shop Totally Destroyed.
New YORK CITY Especially In noun
tain of fame that Illuminated the sky for
miles and drew thousands Of spectators to
the scene, the big machine shop Of the
steam engineering department in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard was burned to the
ground early Wednesday evening. The
destruction was complete. Nothing OF any
value was saved, and the building, which
was an immense affair, and was the prlnci-
pal machine shop Of the Navy Yard, Is q
few portions of brick wall that still stand
as naked reminders OF, what the building
was.
Besides much valuable machinery, q
large number Of patterns OF engines OF
men-of-war we're destroyed, that cannot
be replaced. Among these were the only
patterns in existence Of the engines OF the
battleship Maine, and 1t was singular CO.
incidence that exactly one year ago-on
the night Of February Is, 1s9S-the Maine
herself was blown to pieces in Havana Har-
Dor, while on Wednesday the keel OF the
new Maine was laid in Cramps shipyard.
Thus the famous battleship is now entirely
relesated to the past, with not even her
patterns left, and with her final oDlitera-
tion a new Maine steps into her place.
Patterns for the Chicago, the Raleigh,
the Atlanta and the Cincinnati and many
of the older ships OF the Navy, besides
vast number of valuable drawings were
also destroyed, and cannot be duplicated.
The loss in figures is estimated at 81. =
O0O, 900, OF which $3.50, 900 went In the build
ing and S400, 900 in the machinery.

TRANCE VICTIM BURIED ALIVE.
Shocking Discovery When Mr.. RigIey's
Body Was Exhulned For an Autopsy.


Body Was Exhuined For an Autopsy.
NORTH ToNAwASDA, M (SpeciaD. The
body Of James Rigley was e1humed few
days ago from the village cemetery OF Pen
dleton. for the purpose OF making an au-
topsy.
The diggers found that the glass cover
ing OF the coffin had been broken. and the
dead mans features were horribly dis.
torted and sprinkled with blood. This and
the positions OF tho hands and feet showed
that Rigley had been buried alive. Several
physicians who saw the corpse declared
that what had been supposed to be death
was only trance. No one would make
eny estimate as to how long after his in
terment the victim OF the CHASTITY mistake
had revived and attempted to break from
tt g tomb.
Rigley succumbed after short attack Of
the grip. DR.. Monterey, his family ply
sictan, had no doubt Of his death, and he
was buried the Saturday preceding the
day on which the body was exhumed. The
fact that he held several life insurance
policies led to the dlsinterment, In order
that the autopsy might show the exact
cause Of death.

NO NICARAGUA CANAL NOW.
The House Rules the Hepburn Measure
Out OF the Sundry Civil Bill.

i
Out OF the Sundry Civil Bill.
WASHINGTON, D. c. (SpecinD.-By the
decisive vote Of 1877 to 109 the House on
Wednesday sustained the action OF the
Chair in ruling that the Hepburn Me.
aragua Canal project could not be added
as q rider to the Sundry Civil Appropria-
tion bill. This action means the abandon
ment of the enterprise by the United States
for the present session OF Congress.
This result was reached after battle
royal between the leading advocates OF the
measure and those who were opposed to Its
enactment as rider on an appropriation
bill. There was no apparent division OF
sentiment among those who spoke as to the
necessity and desirabillty OF constructing
the canal, and nearly all favored Govern
ment ownership and control. The only
division was as to the e1pediency OF put.
ting it on the pending bill In defiance OF
the rules. Strong appeals by Aessrs.
Dockery, ofMissouri, and Moody, OF Mas
sachusetts, for the maintenance OF the in
tegrIty Of the rules doubtless had much to
do with bringing about the decision Of the
House.
