GENERAL ASSEMBLY House and Senate Organized by the Republicans. REPUBLICANS CAUGHT NAPPING. Work of Both Branches VVao Purely Routine -Senator Shively Selected an Prexldeut Pro Tem of the Senrte—Coinmllteex Appointed to Walt, on the Governor House to Have New Rules. Indianapolis, Jan. 8. —The Republican majority was led astray yesterday by the newspapers of Indianapolis, which announced that the legislature would convene at 11 o’clock in the morning. The time fixed by the constitution is 10 o’clock, and the Democratic members took advantage of this situation and threw the Republicans into a cold prespiration by coming very near capluring the organization of the senate. They tried it in both houses by having all their men in their seats at 10 o’clock, while scarcely any Republicans were on hand. The senate was called to order by Lieutenant-Governor Nyo, a Democrat, and the Republicans had s very warm time of it hustling around and getting 18 members in their seats, enough to overcome the Democratic minority of 17. Had they not hadsO heavy a majority in the senate the chances are that the}’ would have lost the organization. When it was called to order the Senate did nothing further than to permit the new members to take the oath administered by Chief Justice Jordan of* the supreme court, and adjourned until afternoon. In the afternoon Senator Shively was elected president pro tem. after an appeal from the lieutenant-governor, and caucus nominees were elected to the respective places for which chosen. Contest of Uriah Culbert of Laporte county for the seat of G. W. Rogers was presented.

In the house, where the Republicans have a majority of but four out of the ■ 100 members, the pian to capture the j organization was blocked by the fact that the constitution requires the house to be called to order by the secretary of ' state. W. D. Owen, who occupies this ( office, is a Republican, and was nut | caught napping. He remarked that’t ! was 10 o’ciock until it was 11, and did not ! call the house to order until the latter ■ hour. The business transacted was j only of routine nature, in accordance with caucus uecisions. QUICKLY ORGANIZED. Appellate Judge Comstock Administers tlie Oath ol Office In the House. The house was called to order by Secretary of State Owen and prayer was offered by Rev. Pounds of Central Christian church. Roll was called by R. A. BroAvn, deputy secretary of state. Judge Comstock, chief of the appellate court, administered the oath of office. The work of organization Avas quickly disposed of by the election of H. O. Pet-! tit (Rep.), over Allen Swope (Dem.), speaker, -by h vote of 51 to 47. The seven Populist members voted with the Democrats. Air. Pettit Avas escorted to the Stolid by Messrs. Harris and Swope. Un assuming the chair Air. Pettit thanked the members for the honor conferreu and expressed his feelings of i deep gratituue. He said he hoped, . while he had settled convictions on cer- I tain questions that may arise in con- | nectviii with proposed legislation, to find himself always in accord Avith the ' house. He referred to the depressed | financial condition of the people, and I Said it was his earnest wish that the 1 hoar may never arrive in the house when taxes and burdens come to be ' levied that the most vigorous economy may not be preserved. Mr. Petut s address was applauded, and after he took the oath of office, ad- I ministered by Judge Comstock, the or-1 ganization of tne house proceeded. Ben H. Prather (Rep.) was elected clerk over M. J. Carroil (Dem.), J. O. Lambert (Rep.) was elected assistant clerk over Richard Erwin (Dem.), and Quintillion K. Groves (Rep.) was elected doorkeeper over Al. A. Little (Demj Then ail were lined up in front of the speaker’s table and took the oath of office, administered by Judge ComstocK. Messrs. Swope, Packard and Hart were appointed a ccnimittee of three to inform the senate of the organization of the house, and McCrea and Thornton Avere appointed members of the joint committee to wait upon the governor and learn when he should have any comtimnicaUon for the assembly I Air. riichoison moved that a commit- ' fee be ap: > nted to reports a set of rules to the nouse by Jan. &, which was ! ad ipteu, am. Messrs. Nicholson, Wil- ! luugiiby, Smith, Linck and Bowers were appointed to serve. Mr. Willoughby had been informed that the governor was not ready to transmit his message to 1 the assembly and the house adjourned. The Senate. The senate was called to order at 10 o’clock sharp by Lieutenant-Governor Nye, anu prayer was offered by Bishop John Hazen White;The roll of holdover senators was then called, and the newly-elected''senators took the oath of office, admiiiistered by Judge Hackney of the supreme court. -The senate then adjournd until 2 o’clock. At the afternoon’s session the certificates oi ttione senators who had not appeared at the morning session Avere examined aim they were sworn in. Lieu-tenant-Governor Nye called for nominations for secretary. Charles R. Lane (Rep.) and H. C. Rockhill (Dem.) were nominated. Laue, was elected. For assistant secretary J. W.-Egnew (Rep.) and EdwtfFd Mullen (Deni.) were nominated. Egnew was elected. Clamor Pelzer (Rep.) and W. L. Hulet (Dem.) ' were nominated for doorkeeper, and 1 Pelzer was elected. The senate then listened to the papers ’ in the contest.of Uriah Culbert, contest- „ ing the seat of Senator G. W.

CONVENT DESTROYED Our Lady of Lake St. John Consumed by Fire at Robervale. SEVEN SISTERS ROASTED ALIVE. Establishment Was Controlled by the Ursuline Order of Quebec —Mont of the Students Were Away on Their Holiday Vacation — All of the Young Ladies Present Escaped—List of the Dead. Robervale, Que., Jan. 7.—The lives as seven Ursuline sisters were lost yesterday in a tire that destroyed the convent of Our Lady of Lake St. John, at I this place. The establishment was conI trolled by the Ursulines of Quebec, a cloistered order, and the oldest religious sisterhood in Canada. The church names of the dead are as follows: Sister Providence, Sister Ursule. Sister Anne, Sister Louise, Sister Antoine de Padua, Sister Domeoue, Sister Paul. Them family and Christian names are: Miss Eliza Gosselin, St. Jeau Chrystostome. « Miss Rose Gosselin, St. Jean Chrystostome. Miss Emma Lestourneau, Quebec. MissC. Garn eau. St. Foye. Miss Laura HudoN, Herbertville. Miss Bouille. Descbanibault. Miss Louise Girard, Robervale. When it became known that the con- ! vent was on fire, there was consternation in thd village. Ordinarily in that institution were almost 50 young ladies, under tuition, besides a number of nuns, novices, etc., making a total of almost 100. Most of the Students were away, however, on their holiday vacation. The utmost confusion prevailed at the scene sf the fire. Nuns and pupils rushed from the place. All the young ladies, ao far as can be learned, escaped. They are quartered comfortably, and so far none are reported missing. With tho nuns, however, the case was different. Theirs was the especial care of looking after the welfare of the young girls, and when the roll was called, seven devoted women did not respond. They were overtaken by flames and smoke and perished. The loss is estimated at $75,000, with only about $12,000 insurance. Just how the fire started is not known, certainly, but, this being the feast of Epiphany, it is supposed that a lighted candle near the cradle of the infant Jesus ignited the draperies and floral ornamentations, and in an instant the whole place was a mass of flames. Tbe fact that parts of the convent were uncompleted caused the fire to spread more rapidly. The monastery was a stone building, five stories high and 120 feet frontage, and was built eight years ago. It was in a cavity made by the bursting of a shell w’ithin the Ursuline nuns’ convent at Quebec that General Montcalm was buried after his death upon the plains of Abraham. Appointed by the Governor. Indianapolis, Jan. 7.—Governor Matthews yes.erday appointed T, J. Carter, clerk of th ; state printing board, a member oi tho centennial commission and H. F. K. Bartholomew of Middle boro a delegs'? to ‘he coast defense convention at Tampa, Fla. Wheat Under Water. Quincy, Ills., Jan. 7. —The recent flo ius broke the cross levee at Willow Slough, m the Indian grave levee district. The water was eight inches higher than at the time when the north love? broke last July. The surrounding country is submerged, and a large acreage of wheat is under water. Ruth Hunter Dead. Richmond, Ind., Jan. 7. —Ruth Hunter, a well ’’tiown woman, was found I’ dead in bed’yesterday. Heart disease is believed to be the cause.
