wire directly west of the city offices which probably occurred aa an after effect of the siege of severe weather wc have just experienced, caused the burning out of nearly all the electric lights in the Murray hotel Friday morning and the ignition of the Interior of that building and the S. J. Hain meat market. Last night at about seven o’clock the wire supporting the street light at the corner of Madison and Third streets gave away and the lamp fell to the ground crushing it almost into atoms. Elecrlclan Mylott was called and he placed the wires in such a position as to prevent violence tq, those passing by. This morning at 5:30 o’clock the big main wire which carries 2,200 volts of electricity broke and fell across the line which leads to the hotel and the Hain meat market. In an lastant almost every light in the Murray hotel burned out and the switchboard caught fire as a consequence of large voltage Entering the lines of smaller capacities. Other places atyaze and the big r In Jiliilng room which was supported by the wire fell to the floor resultant to the popular hostelry I catching fire and every precaution was ' taken to preVent a conflagration. Electricity emanated from every light i in flashes and much alarm was caused. The voltage entered the Une leading to the Hain meat market with such force that the front of the bulld- ( Ing caught Are immediately. Frank Keller who is employed at the market grasped the switch to turn on t|g. lights and he was dashed to the floor with great force by the shock he received. C. D. Murray was entering i the shop when the unseen force was playing havoc, and he was all but i hurled to the floor. He stepped upon the stone in the front of the building which was thoroughly charged. Although the amount of damage will reach a large figure it is fortunate Indeed that no lives were lost nor Injuries inflicted as a consequence of the unharnessed force. The water works plant was shut down for a short time,'this morning to allow the workmen to disconnect the circuit to avert accidents to pedestrians. —— o— ■ HE WILL NOT INTERFERE. Governor Marshal Will Permit the => Pardon Board to Act. * ——- Indianapolis, February 19.—Governor Marshal informed the state board of pardons that the board’s decision would be final in all recommendations for pardons so far as his office was concerned. The governor had a brief , interview with the state board. Governor Marshal talked to the board along the line of a letter which he sent to the members a few'days ago. lln his letter he said: “As a general rule I do not propose to interfere with your conduct except when it may be (necessary to do so to preserve the I health of a prisoner. I will not promI ise’that when a prisoner has long been confined in the penitentiary under life [sentence that I may not vary this I rule. But my intention is to have you (discharge the duties of the state I beard' of pardons.’’ One of the members of the board said yesterday that I Governor Hanly, during his administiatlon, turned down at least 11 per [cent of the recommendations which [the board made. “I propose,” said Governor Marshal, “to accept the | recommendations made by the board. | The members are supposed to know lof the merits of each case and when . I the board makes a recommendation . II certainly shall see that it is carried , j out’’

Hyland have returned |from Fort Wayne, where they accompanied Jim Touhey yesterday afternoon and entered him at the St. Joseph Hospital for treatment Drs. McOscar and' Rosenthal engaged to make a thorough examination of the Injuries inflicted and they round the bone above the socket badly broken. The examination was very severe, but Jim stood the test without the administering of an-anaesthetic by his request. The specialists stated that they would not be able to tell whether or not the bone would grow together until the ninth day, and they stated further that in the event the Injury would sufficiently heal to allow the unfortunate man to walk again, the leg would be shorter than the one not affected. All that Is known to medical science will be employed by the able physicians in an attempt to effect relief for Mr. Touhey and while they work, Decatur citizens will hope that the efforts will be successful. It will be necessary for the afflicted man to remain at the hospital for ten weeks at least. Jim is still in good

spirits and is hoping for the best, although he knows that the chances arc decidedly against him. Nothing will be left undone which would tend to better his physical condition. —— o '
