LOUXGE FACTORY BURNED

Stccbhan's riant in Euins, Causing a loss of Several Thousand Dollars. The "Wind and Water Interfere with tlie TTork of the Firemen Bacon's Block Damaged to a Large Amount The Insurance. A fire that was unmanageable for nearly two hours destroyed, last night, the lounge factory of Otto Stechhan & Co., at 551 to 555 Xorth Alabama street, and 128 to 102 Fort "Wayne, avenue. The storage-room was tho only part that escaped the flames. Tho firo was discovered a few minutes afterS o'clock by the watchman of the company and several other persons. It was then just beginning to show itsQif in the 6havings near the engine and boiler-room. An alarm was quickly turned in, but before any of the engines of reels reached tho scene tho flames bad spread rapidly, and were beginning to break out at the windows in the northeast corner of tho . structure. There was a stiff wind blowing from the northeast at tho time and in a few moments the little patch of flame 6oon enveloped the entire east end of the large building, running back 200 feet to Alabama street. As soon as Chief Dougherty arrived he saw the fire, with such a high -wind blowing and 6uch destructible material before it, was going to be a big one, and he turned in a 6econd alarm. It was responded to promptly, and in a very few minutes two-thirds of the department were at work. A dozen streams of water were turned upon the burning building, but they seemed to have but little effect. They came from both the north and south sides of the building, but the high wind made it almost impossible for them to be well directed and effective. In half an hour the flames had spread through the entire rortion of the building used for the factory proper. They first communicated with the planing-mill, and then went up the dust chute which sent tho lire to every story m the building. When the flames reached tho varnish-room, they took new life, and the firemen saw that it was useless to attempt to save the factory building. The question then was, could the storage-room, a square four-story building, ou the west of the burning structure, be saved. It was separated from the factory by a ten-foot walk, and was connected only by elovated stairways. It was constructed as a fire-proof building, all tho doors on the cast end being of iron, and the walls of such character as to resist flames. Chief Dougherty transferred nearly all the streams of water to it, and left the already doomed factory to burn. It was with difficulty that the flames were kept from communicating with the building, as the supply of water began to run low after tho tire had been raging for over an hour. Tho supply furnished by the water-works, it is claimed, practically gavo out, and it was necessary to depend almost ' wholly upon the engines. At 0:S0 o'clock, when water was most needed, the nozzles attached to tho plugs were not throwing a stream more than twenty feet high. The water was yellow with mud. and bore every evidence of coming directly from the canal or river. There : was much complaint from the firemen, and several of them said that the pressure was such that they could not throw a stream of water to tho second story of the building. uue iuo storage uuuumg, wun lis valuable stock of furniture, was being saved, the tire communicated with the Bacon Block, on Fort Wayne avenue, and it was destroyed. If there had been plenty of water at the command of tho denartment, it is claimed, that building could have been saved. Sev-! eral times during the progress of the fire it looked as if it would be impossible to prevent it from crossing the several narrow streets by which it was hemmed in and destroy a score of frame tenement houses. With such a high wind blowing it was difficult work to confine the fire to the building in which it originated. The building burned was two hundred feet long, four stories high, and contained .several thousand dollars worth of machinery and a large quantity of lumber in the rough and finished. The loss on machinery and lumber will reach Sll.000; that on the building and engine, 819,000. Stechhan & . . Co. carried a lair amount of insurance, amounting to $27,500 on tho part that was burned, in the following companies: Detroit Fire and Marine, Michigan Firo and Marine, Hamburg-Bremen. Germany; Western Assurance Company, Toronto: Fidelity and Casualty Company, New York; Phenix, of Brooklyn, New York; Phoenix of London, Continental of New York, Firemen's of Dayton and Niagara of New York, tho msnrauce being about equally divided between the several companies, the whole line having been placed by Richardson & McCrea, insurance agents. Otto Stech--hau established th works in 1ST4. and then gave employment to ten men. From this little beginning he came to be one of the largest lounge manufacturers in the country, employing, when running full-handed, 125 men, and at the present time over one hundred men. In V&l he took in as a partner Albert Sahni. The loss is the more serious from tho fact that the business, which has been rather quiet or late, h:id just begun to improve, .and they had more orderson hand for goods . than at any time for some months past. Before the flames had been extinguished Mr. Stechhan and Sir. Sahm had already begun to talk of rebuilding the factory, their intention being to have as little 'delay as possible in resuming operations. Tho aged parents of Mr. eahm, who was born on the site of the factory, now live in a cottage adjoining. Mrs., .fcahm is seventv-three years old and bed-! ridden. As the tiro at first seemed to threaten every building upon the block and as he was very nervous and apprehensive, it was necessary to remove her some distance to a place of safety. As she is so feeble it is feared that the excitement and exposure may have a serious result. The fire brought a great crowd of people. ?nd as the wind blow many sought shelter 3ii the business houses and saloons near by. The Fort Wayne avenue saloons were jammed with people, and in a short time had about sold out ail their supply of beverages. Bacon Clock and Its Occupants. The Bacon Block, a three-story brick huilding, now owned by tho Equitable Trust, cost, when built nearly twenty years ago, when all material was high, about 40,000. It was built by the late Hiram Bacon, a prosperous farmer, who put a good farm in a building that proved so notoriously bad as an investment that for years it carried the name of "Bacon's Folly." The nine families occupying the upper stories were poor tenants, and only two of the business-rooms on the ground floor were occupied. D. M. Bradbury, who has charge of tho business of the Equitable, Mid the block was fully insured, though hedidnotkuow in what companies. Tho hlock has been held by the Equitable at a valuation of about $20,000, and, on that basis, the damage by firo is probably $3,000. hile the tire was fn progress a woman one of the tenants of the block, who had run down to the sidewalk raised the cry that hr sick child, a boy ten 3'earsold, bad been ft in a room on the third floor. Several persons ran tin stairs into the smoke to rescue the boy, but failed to find him in that 5f any of tho rooms. There was considcrabt excitement, but he was finally found npon the sidewalk, safe and sound, looking t the fire. Medical College of Indiana. Tho Medical College of Indiana closed its term of lectures for the full course yesterday at noon. The closing address was delivered by Prof. F. V. Hays, who spoke on "Medical Ethics enjoining tho candidates for graduation to strict observance of them and against any scmblauco of quackery if they would secure high professional success. The commencement exercises, consisting of a entertaining programme of addresses

Curtiss speeches by members, and reading of papers. The annual banquet will be held at the New Denison Hotel immediately after the commencement exercises are over. ONE HUNDRED TEAKS. Mr. La Follette's Talk to Young reople on Events Attending the First Inauguration. The subject of the lecture of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Mr. La Follette, yesterday afternoon, at Plymouth Curch, in tho young folks' historical lecture course, was "Ono Hundred Years; or, the First Inauguration.' The lecturer described Washington's arrival in New York on the 23d of April, but the ceremony oil inaugurating him did not take place until the SOth. This delay was . owing to a question as to the form of title by which tho Presidentelect was to be addressed, which arose in Congress and which finally decided that tho address should be simply "The President of the United States." When the inauguration took place, religious services were held at 9 o'clock, in all the churches, and prayers were offered for the blessing of heaven upon the new goverrment. At 12 o'clock the municipal troops paraded before Washington's residence, with heads of departments and congressional committees in carriages. At 12:S0 o'clock the procession, headed by the troops, moved forward from the presidential residence to the old City nail, on the corner of Wall and Nassau streets, which then served as the national capitol. Washington, in a coach of state, was. accompanied by his aid-de-camp, Colonel Humphreys, and followed by Mr. Lear, in his own carriage, by the foreign ministers and a long train of civic dignitaries and citizens. Two hundred yards from the hall Washington alfghted, and with his suite passed through the troops, who were drawn up on each side, into tho hall and Senate chamber, where the Vice-president, John Adam3, who had already been inaugurated, received him and conducted him to a chair of state at the upper end of the room. Upon the announcement by the Vice-president that all things were ready for tho administering of the oath of office required by the Constitution, the President-elect, accompanied by all of the members of both houses, proceeded to the open gallery, a kind of porch or recess, with four lofty columns supporting the roof, in the center of which was a table with a covering and cushion of crimson velvet, upon which lay a superbly bound Bible. From the two streets at the angle of which the hall stood, the lecturer continued, and from the roofs of adjoining buildings, thousands of citizens witnessed the ceremony. Washington was dressed in a full suit of dark brown cloth, of American manufacture, with white silken stockings and silver shoe-buckles. He wore a steel-bilted dress sword, and his hair was dressed and powdered, and worn in a bag and solitaire, after tho fashion of tho day. He never wore a wig. Ho was received with enthusiastic shouts by the people, and advancing to the front of the balcony, with his hand upon his heart, he bowed several times, but was so overcome that ho could say nothing. He sat down in an arm-chair by the table, and after a few minutes he arose and came forward to the table, accompanied by the Vice-president. The latter stood onliis right, on his left was the Chan cellor of State, Robert R. Livingston, while s in a semi-circle just to tho rear, stood Roger Sherman, Alexander Hamilton, Generals Knox, St. Clair, Baron Steuben and others. Mr. Otis, the Secretary of the Senate, then held up the Bible upon its crimson cushion. Tho Chancellor advanced to administer the oath, which he read slowly and distinctly, Washington in the meantimo laying his hands on tho open Bible. When the oath was concluded Washington replied solemnly: T swear, so help me God," and bowing down he reverently kissed the sacred book. Chancellor Livingston then said: "It is done," and stepping forward he waived his hand to the people, and exclaimed "Long live George Washington, President of the United States!" The shout was echoed and re-echoed by the people, and at the same moment, in answer to a flag displayed on the cupola of tho hail, there was a general discharge of artillery on the battery at the lower point of the island, and all of the bells of the city rang out joyously, and tho rejoicings were universal. Washington again, by bowing, expressed his sensibility of the acclamations of tho people, and repairing to the Senate chamber with the members of Cougress. he there delivered in tho presence of both houses his inaugural address, which for modesty, moderation and good senso has remained a model for all his successors. At tho conclusion of the inaugural ceremony the President and bothliouses of Congress went in processiou to St. Paul's Church which stood but one square distant from the hall and there joined in the invocation of tho blessings of almighty God upon tho youngRepublic and its new government, which included so much of vital interest to mankind. "The inauguration of President ITarrison,"Mr. La Follette said, inarks the close of a century of unexampled progress and prosperity. It is a period within which our country has solved some of tho most difficult problems thrt have ever faced a f reo people, and although the gravest problem of all was settled by the sword, yet tho solution of that problem will ever be regarded as ono of tho greatest advances in the progress of civilization and human liberty. It is a period that in the rapidity of its development, the number of its inventions and discoveries, the progress of the people in every line of intelligence and growth, will remain in tho annals of men forever more as a golden age. Looking back through tho past hundred years and then forward, we cannot but realize that the next century of constitutional government in our country must likewise witness many changes in civil and social forms. Many new questions will arise and doubtless new dangers will threaten tho welfare and best interests of our country. But it is easy to believe that with the best examples of patriotism and unselfish sacrifico beloro their eves, the coming generatious will prove amply able to happily solve every problem that may concern them. "In the future, as in the past, our country must depend largely for tho perpetuation and advance of her national life upon h generous patriotism and unselfish en thusiasm and devotion of the youth of her, citizenship. It lias been largely through, the disinterested ardor and unselfish devotion of her youth that every free country has secured and maintained her civil, personal and religious liberty. And so to-day, upon the 157th anniversary of the birth of Washington, looking backward to the past nml forward to the future, we may fondly hope that as the first inauguration was representative of tho triumphant struggle of our forefathers for the establishment upon this continent of a free nation, and as the ntennial inauguration of President HarrUnn so fittingly marks and emphasizes the Srogress and perpetuation of our civil, inustrial and intellectual life, so, when another hundred years shall have como and gone, and the second centennial inauguration TV ill be witnessed by another inaugu ration, it will, with equal perfection at least, typify the continued growth, im provement ana nappiness ot a great ana free people." Not Unconstitutional. The Attofncy-general has given an opin ion, at the request ot a county treasurer, that the law is not unconstitutional which concerns the taxation of banks.

McLain Moulder, of Kokomo, is is registered at the Kew Denison. Mr. and Mrs. Major Taylor entertained friends last evening at progressive euchre at their homo on North Delaware 6treet. Mrs. Jarley exhibited her celebrated waxworks, last night, at Mayflower Church. She had brought some ot the most celebrated persons in American history and books to give tone to the entertainment, and added a few humorous characters to enliven the whole. George Washington's birth-day was duly celebrated by the patriotic people who sail in the Mayflower. The Young People's Circle of Plymouth Church gave an entertainment last night, which was witnessed by a large audience. The regular platform was enlarged and a series of beautiful tableaux were presented, typifying the twelve months and the holidays of the year, the whole concluding with a pantoinmime, "The English Haymakers," in four acts, which was very enjoyable. After the entertainment, refreshments were served. Hundreds of tickets have been sold for tho concert to be given at Tomlinson Hall on Tuesday evening for the Free Kindergarten benefit. Miss Madge Wickhaui, tho young violin virtuoso, is the t star for the occasion, and Miss Kate Elliott, the popular soprano of Louisville, will assist. Miss Wickham will be heard in three numbers and Miss Elliott in two. The remainder of the programme will include a 6ong by Miss Sadie Walker, a piano solo 03 Miss Anna Willcox, a duet for cornet and piano by Mr. Cameron and Mr. Hanson. The concert will be one of the richest musical treats of the season. A Martha Washington tea social was the attraction last night at tho First Presbyterian Church. The ladies of the entertaining section all wore caps, kerchiefs and aprons of tho colonial style, and it is doubtful if the matrons of that day were any more Eicturesque than the ladies last night. The eautiful room was tastefully decorated, and two tables were set. One w'here tea was servedwas presided over by Miss Mattio Stewart, and tho coffee was served from a generous silver urn by Mrs. Wm. Latham. The social was entirely informal, and the large number who attended felt amply repaid by the pleasure experienced. For genuine out-and-out fun tho entertainments given at Memorial Church out-rank almost any other, and when the announcement was made that "The last day of school, forty years ago," would bo revived for last night, every ono of tho congregation wanted to go, and did, and took their friends. An. outline of the programme offered will giro a faint idea of such an occasion, though it will not describe the wonderful costumes nor the performance, which was admirably carried out: Roll-call, sang by the school; geography, with black-board illustrations: grammar exercises, in which the class will attempt to, parse; spelling class; oration by Solomon Twig: composition, lkey Siper; dialogue, by Artimissa Amarantha Evergreen, Sally Ann Smith, Abijah Gobbleup; a piece by Sophia Jane Busterbone; two-part song, Bobby Short and Simon Summergrass; a piece by Peter Piper; composition.

ThaVbotirs were from 5 till 11, and a constankttrfuin of visitors were present ail of the, time. The guests were greeted by the hofctaud hostess and their friends, Mrs. r rencli and Mrs. Owen, of Evansville. Mrs. James M. Winters. Mrs. W. P. Bingham. Mrs. W. C. Lynn, Mrs. Fred Fahnley, Mrs. Henry Wetzel and Mrs. James A. McKee assisted in entertaining. The house, which is very handsomely appointed, was further embellished with a profusion of plants and flowers. Great bowls and vases were filled with beautiful roses, lilacs, lilies of tho valley and all the fragrant exotics of the season. In tho refreshment-room the win dows and mantels were . banked with ferns, palms and azaleas. TI13 table was bordered with smilax and flowers, and candelabra and fairy lamps added their mellow light. The orchestra, which was also down stairs, was hidden behind a screen of tall plants, and gave a programme of solos and concerted numbers during the entire hours of the reception. The receiving ladies were all in full evening dress. The guests were also handsomely attired, evening dress and reception costumes being about equally divided. Regrets were sent by President elect and 3lrs. Harrison, and Mr. and Mrs. J. R. McKee. Among the nests present were Mr. George hanklin. of the Evansville Courier. Mr. and Mrs. Stanton J. Peelle, Rev.

AMUSEMENTS. nOME OTERA COMPANY IN "THE TI RATES." Thn Home Opera Company, composed of local amateur performers, appeared at tho Grand Opera-house last night, presenting Gilbert t Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance." The company is one of the best organiza tions composed exclusively of home talent that has yet attempted opera, and its per formance last night was, all things considered, quite creditable to them. Miss Lenore Snyder made Ler first public appearance as Mabel, and gratified her friends by her rendition of the music and her gen eral impersonation of tho character. She has a good voice and a personal attractive ness that adds to her work. Mrs. Rose U. Bailey is already well kuown as a contralto singer of fine abilities and attain ments, and her Ruth was well done. Mrs. Bailey certainly works hard enough to deserve her success, aud has talents both vocal and histrionic far beyond those of the 1 1 ..a r . . oruuiary amateur, loms 3iecK uatl a aimGreen. Misses Bretz and Schmidt did nuite acceptably, and the choni9 was efficient and well trained. Mr. Alex.

Next week comes James Hawie and Sara Von Leer, in "On the Frontier," a very successful play. AT THE HARRISON RESIDENCE. Preparations for Leaving1 on Monday for Washington. The work of tearing up and packing, pre paratory to the move to Washington, in which General Harrison and his household have been engaged for the past few days, is rapidly nearing completion. Whilo this has been going on, and notwithstanding the frequent interruptions by visitors, the General and Private Secretary Halford, by beginning work early in the morning, and continuing until 10 o clock at night, havo managed to also keep abreast of the large daily correspondence. The work of assorting tho documents and efl'ects from tho large accumulation has been a tedious task. 1 , A 1 T 'J A. 1 A. lcsuTuav aiiemoou tue rresmeui-eiect received about fifty veterans of the Vicksbnrg campaign, who called on him directly after their meeting at the Grand Hotel adjourned. They were received informally, no speecn-maKing ueing luouigeu. in. .L.aier in the afternoon a number of delegates attending the annual meeting of the Order of Chosen Friends were received by tho General. He also had two visitors from Texas, Judge W. W. Burkhart and R. H. Taylor, who, it is understood, came to talK about federal patronage in their State, and to press the names of certain aspirants for places. W. F. Sessions, of Jamestown, N. Y., was also a visitor. During the afternoon three gentlemen, comprising a committee from the Philadelphia Civil-service Reform Association, waited upon the GeneraL The Presidential Car. Car No. 120 of the Pennsylvania road, known as President Roberts's car, which has been in tho Altoona shops two weeks, has been 'placed at tho disposal of President-elect Harrison and family, and will be used by them on their journey. The car left Altoona last night for this city. It has been entirely refitted, and is the most luxuriously furnished car on the road. It is sixty-three feet long, and is divided into four compartments kitchen, dining-room. sleeping apartments and parlor. Tho parlor is fourteen feet in length, carpeted with the finest of Wilton and furnished with reclining chairs, handsomely carved and upholstered in brocaded wine-colored jplnsh. The sleeping-room is furnished in oau, and Contains a bed, stationary wash-stand and private closets. It is handsomely cutained, and finished with brass, oxidized silver and nickel trimmings. The dining-room is finished in walnut, and the kitchen, which is thoroughly equipped, is finished in hard wood. Throughout electric bells are placed inconvenient locations. The car will bo heated by steam, and the system of ventilation is absolutely perfect. Tho platforms are so arranged as to allow the members of the distinguished pa rty to view the scenery without suflering discomfort. Inside rich curtains and handsome brass and nickel trimmings make it appear a veritable nalace on wheels. Iron The train will leave the Union Station at 8:05 r. m.,' Monday. General Harrison will leave his house, accompanied by Governor Hoveyand Mayor Denny, at 2:15. going 8outh on Delaware to t ort w ayne avenue, down tho avenue to Pennsylvania street, . down Pennsvlvania to Washington, west on Washington to Meridian, down Meridian to denot. George H. Thomas Post. G. A. R.. will bo in waiting at tho New Denison House, and escort tho President-elect to the train. There will bo no time for hand shaking, but General Harrison will likely say a few words of farewell from the plat form of his car before it starts. Taking Precautions for the Journey. To-day notices will be sent to the super visors and section foremen of tho Panhandle road to have their track-walkers doubly vigilant in their patrols during the passage of the train of the President-elect on that division. One man will be stationed on every mile of track between Pittsburg and Dennison. His duty will be to examine the track and see that everything is all right until the traiu passes. In addition to this the watchmen w ill be given strict orders to see that their switches are set right, aud the wrecking crews at all points along the line will be 611 duty to pick up anything that may blockade the track prior to the passage of the presidential train. The wreck trains at Mansfield. Steubeuville and Bowerston will be held in readiness to go to any part of the road at a moment's notice. 1 he liurgettstown engine will also bo ready to go out on that section. John S. Bell, chief of the United States Secret Service Bureau, with two assistants. Colonel Abbott and Major Brown, arrived. from Washington yesterday. They are here for tho purpose of accompanying the President-elect and his family to Washington. Chief Bell has charge of all arrangements for tho safe' transportation 01 the party.

Physicians prescribe It, drug'jlsts endorse It, and everybody recommends It as the best medicine and tonic for the debilitated condition incident to the spring months. We especially recommend Its u&e at thl3 season, for the system Is now most susceptible to tho eCects of this medicine, and less Is needed to rroduce the desired results. Purifying the blood, strengthening tho nerves, cumulating the liver, and regulating the kidneys and bowels, at the same time It has a wonderful power In toning up tho whole system. You seed It now use it !
