Mysterious Fire In a Courtroom. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 24.—Thera was consternation in the federal courtroom Wednesday afternoon immediately upon the reassembling of the court to continue the trial of the Coffins for alleged wrecking of the Indianapolis national bank when the discovery was accidentally made that the papers belonging to the bank and to the cabinet company, which had been stored in one corner of the room to be ultimately turned over to the jury, were on fire. There was no smell of smoke in the room and the papers were partly hidden by an umbrella leaning against the wall. Suddenly a bright blaze flashed up behind the umbrella and every one in the room jumped to his feet. The court, attorneys and spectators were dazed, and it was several moments before anyone fully comprehended the situation. Attorney Kern was the first to recover his self-possession, and, running to the corner, he stamped the papers with his feet till the fire was out. Subsequent examination showed that many of those which the government had depended tipon to secure a conviction of the defendants had been nearly destroyed. It is not known how the fire originated or whether it was started by accident or design.

Attempted to Poison the Family. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., May 24.—Nellie Weaver, 10 years old, had a preliminary trial before Justice Edson in this city Wednesday evening on a charge of poisoning a whole family at Montpeiler, 8 miles north. She was bound over to court to be tried for attempted murder. The girl was a domestic in the family of D. A. Walmer, Montpelier's leading merchant, and last Saturday evening, after eating meat prepared by the girl, Mr. Walmer, his wife and two children, were taken sick and only saved from dying by the prompt action of doctors. It was thought that the meat had been tampered with before it reached the Walmer residence, but the butcher proved differently. The girl was accused of the wholesale poisoning, and she admitted that she had treated the meat with rat poison. She was at once arrested. To Justice Edson she said that she wanted to poison Mrs. Walmer because she had scolded her. She takes her arrest very coolly. She was unable to give bond and went to jail.
