ORPHANS DE IN FLAMES.
Nineteen Children Meet Horri-
BILE Fate at Rochester.
ASYLUM DEsTROYEDBY FIRE

Explosion In Hospital Section Follows
First Discovery of the Flames, Scores of
the Inmates Being Carried Out Uncon-
scious--Two Nurses Among the Dead.
Rochester, n. Y, Jan. 'S.--Fire broke
out in the hospital section of the
Rochester orphan asylum at o'clock
this morning and the flames spread
rapidly to other sections of the insti-
tuition. 1t is known that 10 of the chill
dren perished and it is feared that
many more victims may be reported
later. The fire was first seen by two
men passing the asylum. They hastily
sent in an alarm and then turned their
attention toward arousing the nurses
and the children. A terrific explosion
was then heard and in moment the
entire hospital section was in flames.
On the arrival Of the fire apparatus
a general alarm was sounded, calling
out the entire department. The smoke
began to pour out of every window
in the main building and the screams
and frantic cries of the children could
be heard.
Children and nurses were carried
from the building, all in an uncon-
scious condition, some dead. There
were 100 children at the hospital and
corps of about 80 nurses and at
tendants. Two of the women attend
ants are among the dead.
The origin of the fire is not known
at this time. The property loss will
probably exceed $4,000

cuba,s Proposed Constitution.

Havana, Jan. S.-The proposed con-
stitution is not meeting with favor
able reception The concensus of
opinion is that it is top-heayy, involv-
ing too many governments, assemblies,
executives and other unnecessary Off
cials. Moreover, it is believed that
such scheme as proposed would mean
an enormous expense. 1t is thought
great confusion would follow the adop-
ton of federalism. Business men fear
the extortions of excessive govern
ment. Radical notifications will be
insisted upon and if these are not made
the commercial classes will urge the
indefinite continuance of American in,
tervention.

destruction. The fire was first seen by
John Cleary about 1:30 in the morning.
He Immediately ran up town and
sounded the alarm. He was so ex-
hausted with his long run however
that the ringing did not sound like an
alarm Of fire and it was not until others
assisted him that the people aroused
from slumber and responded to the
call. The fire apparatus was taken to
the fire as speedily as possible and soon
streams from the hose and the chem
ical engine were playing upon the
blaze. AT first it was difficult to locate
the heart of the fire and the flame
would be eNtinguished only to leap up
higher and brighter than ever. The
fire evidently originated in the base
meIt and was confined to that region
and to the sacristy which occupies the
south west corner of the building, and
which contained all the costly priest
ly vestments and the expensive service
used in the mass. Despite all efforts
the smoke and water did much dam
age to the mainAroom or auditorium.
The handsome altar decorations are
badly blackened and the frescoing is
probably ruined. Saint Rose of Lima S
church is one OF the newest of our
church edifices. 1t is built of brick
and this is what saved it from destruc-
tion. The church represents a
great deal of sacrifice on the part of
it's congregation, the larger part of
whom are not wealthy, but people who
gladly contributed of their little to-
ward the erection of suitable house
of worship. We are glad to know that
the church was fully insured although
money cannot replace many of the arti-
cles lost The work of repairing will
begin as soon as the insurance adjust
lment is made and it is hoped this will
be done at once SO that there will be as
little interruption as possible in the
work of the church. The fire compan.
les did splendid work but the lesson OF
the fire was that Denison should have
a team and watchman always ready
and on guard so that the apparatus
may be taken to the scene of the fire as
quickly as possible. The firemen work
like veterans when once the machines
{ are on the ground butit is heart break
ing to haul them by hand over the
I, rough roads and through the cold anc
darkness. Much valuable time is also
lost and the damage done by fires
greatly increased. We would not de

SUPPRESS CHINESE PAPERS.
American Consul at Canton Makes De

AAAaAu anu ~ 40 SohARAACa w iShs
Tacoma, Wash, Jan. S.TThe steam
ship Tacoma brings news from Hong
Kong that the American consul at Can
ton has required the yiceroy of kWang
Tung to suppress several seditious ma
tive newspapers, which were being
circulated throughout Canton, advis-
ing the natives to rise against foreign
ers. Some objection was made when
the consul first protested. He pointed
to the coast defense vessel Monterey
lying in the harbor as evidence that
his wishes must be respected. The
,yiceruy then gave orders to suppress
the papers and arrest any one found
selling them.
The present serious situation in Can
ton is regarded as due largely to the
influence of these papers. Every

ACCUSED

Gus Wiese is Arrested

His Arrest. Brought to Deni-

On Saturday night, Constable Will

city under the charge of grand larceny.

and appearance bond fixed at $4,000:
being unable to furnish this amount he
still remains in custody, awaiting pre-
liminary hearing which is set for next
Thursday morning. The history OF
this case as we gather it from numer-
Gus sources is long one, and promises
to be full of sensational features. 1t is
a pitiful story and we greatly regret to
be obliged TO chronicle these state
ments concerning a young man, for
whom we have had high regard in
the past. 1t appears that sometime
ago numerous small articles were miss
ed at The Boys" store, and finally the
theft of some small purses of little
value was traced to MIR. Wiese. and
we are informed that be confessed to
having taken the articles, but urged
that it was his first offense, and promis
ed good conduct if continued. Hewas.
however, discharged, and after that
time it is said, the firm began to
learn things which tended to show that
this was not the first offense, buta part
of systematic plan.
The charge upon which Mr.. Wiese
was arrested was that of taking from
the store a fur coat, travelling case.
and a.silk waist, all valued at more
than thirty dollars. This places the
matter under the head of grand lar
ceny and is very serious charge.
Since Mr.. Wiese's departure from
Denison, the firm has found that some
one has been Systematically robbing
them for sometime. They are several
hundred dollars short in their produce
checks, they also miss considerable
quantity of goods and the estimated
loss is not less than five hundred dol
lars. 1t seems that Mr.. Wiese has been
lavish in his presents to his friends, and
has in various ways lived beyond his
modest income as clerk.
Mr.. Wiese himself, duplicates others
as concerned in the work with him and
it is possible that he may make a COM
plete confession which will bring about
the arrest of other parties. either as
accomplices or as receivers Of stolen
property. AS is always the case, the
weight of punishment rests heavily
upon the loved ones. He has brother
in this city, who is as honest and hard
working young man as can be found.
His aged parents who are living near
Manning, will doubtless be well-nigh
heart broken when they learn the facts.
The Des Moines Leader publishes a
long sensational account of the arrest,
and states that 12O white shirts we're
found in Mr.. Wiese's possession.
i There are number of establish
ments in this city, who must be more OF
less dependent upon the honesty OF
| their employees, and anything which
tends to lead to distrust between en-
ployees and employer is deeply to be
regretted.
