IMMIGRATION STATION BURNED. BIIIK Island Buildings Destroyed—No Loss of Life. New York, June 15.—The United States government immigration station j on Ellis Island, in New York harbor, ' was destroyed Iry fire this morning, but I with probably no loss of life. The file was first seen by the lookout from the ' harbor police station. He first noticed a ' flame about as big as a man’s hand coming out <>f the window on the second floor towaril the eastern end. The fire spread rapidly and soon the eaves along the entire roof began to fall, i setting fire to the wooden piers and docks on either side. The whole island was a mass of flames, illuminating the entire inner harbor and the lower part of New York city. The 2(D immigrants were safely transferred from the island to the barge office at the battery, leaving no one on the island except the firemen and a few attendants. — The buildings on Ellis island were simply vast wooden sheds, made of the most inflammable material. The main building was 404 by 154 feet and three stories high. It was constructed entirely of pine. The first floor was devoted to the baggageroom, the customhouse officers, the pens of the immigrants and the offices of the expressmen. The second floor was occupied by emigrants. It was a vast open space divided into pens by pieketfences. The third floor was a gallery from which the crowds below could be inspected without coming into contact with the inspectors. LAW CONSTITUTIONAL. Three Cent Street Car Fare Upheld by the Supreme Court. Indianapolis, June 12.—The supreme court yesterday handed down a decision on the 3-cent street car fare law, passed by the last legislature. The opinion was written by Judge Monk and concurred in by the full bench. The Citizens company was not a principal in the case. After the injunction granted by Judge Showalter, prohibiting conductors from accepting less than 5 cents fare from a passenger, John Navin refused to pay more than 3 cents, was arrested, tried in the city courts and fined SSO„ He appealed to the circuit epurt where a decision was rendered in his favor. The city then appealed the case to the higher courts, raising the question of constitutionality of the law, in that it only applied to Indianapolis and consequently was not a general law. The supreme | court holds that the law is general as it: applies to any city having 100,000 inliab- j itants at the taking of the last census or may have that number after the taking of any ' future census. The restraining order of the United States court, however, prevents the enforceinent of the law until the order is modified. a HIS HOME DYNAMITED. Residence of Governor Smith of Soldiers' Home Blown Up. Leavenworth, Kan?, June 12. —A man named Oliver, a dishonorably discharged inmate of the Soldiers’ home here, was arrested late yesterday on suspicion of being the party who blew up the residence of Governor Smith of the home. Oliver refuses to talk and has been placed under 81,000 bond. ’ Dynamite was employed in the outrage, the explosion partially demolishing the governor’s beautiful residence. Mrs. Smith had a miraculous-escape from death, the base of the explosion being directly beneath her bedchamber. i Besides being cut and bruised by broken ' glass and pieces of flying bric-a-brac and furniture, she was completely prostrated by the frightful shock, and is now in a precarious condition. Governor Smith and daughter, Miss Daisy, were on the second floor and far enough removed from the explosion to escape the serious consequences suffered by Mrs. Smith. GENERAL CLAY. I Aged Diplomat" Kays the Country Is on the Verge of a Revolution. Richmond, Ky., June 15. — General Cassius M. Clay, ex-minister to Russia, and famed as a soldier, statesman, diplomat and sage, in a recent published j interview here, says he believes the , United States is on the verge of a great 1 revolution, a revolution of the idle and unemployed against property owners. The spirit, of nihilism, he says, which seems to be rampant in the land will, unless . checked, bear a rich harvest of of calamity and disaster before the 20th century is far advanced.
