Terre Haute Makes a Second Feeblo Effort to Close the Saloons Early, Semantic Tile cf an Alleged Poisoner Fort Wayne Militiamen Discharged for Neglect of Duty Merchant Shot bj & Bobber. INDIANA . Terra Haute' .Second Attempt to Herniate the Saloon Very Feeble. Epecial to the Indian a rolls Journal Terre Hatue, Dec. 4. It cannot be de cided to-night whether the new city ordinance to close saloons at 11 o'clock -will bo enforced. It is understood that a test case is to be made. One saloon, as the headquarters, kept .open, and after 11 o'clock the place was crowded. The police made no effort to have the doors loc&ed or to arrest the proprietor or persons in the saloon as provided for in the ordinance. Cigars and lemonade were sold freely but, so far as any policeman saw. no intoxicating liquors were sold, as this would be in violation of the State law. By 12 o'clock most of the saloons were closed and the crowds had left the streets. The Liquor-dealers' Association, on the opinion of lawyers, believe they can beat the ordinance on the ground that they cannot be ruade to lock their doors. The police have taken names of persons to be prosecuted in the city court to-morrow, and whichever way the case is decided there will be an appeal. If the courts decide against the ordinance the question as to the enforcement of the State law will be taken up. Everything will then depend on the vigilance of the police. So far there is to deeper feeling with the general public than one of curiosity. Aliened Murderess "Who Resided in Indiana. Chicago, Dec 4.

This was only a small part of the measures to be taken by the government to meet the impending distress in Ireland. It was now clear, as the winter progressed, that a great, pressure Would be brought to bear on the poor-law authorities who were unable alone to meet the trouble. The government, while relying on the poorlaw authorities to meet the greater part of the local distres, proposed to employ labor on the construction of railways in Cork Kefry, Galway, Mayo, Donegal and Clare, cheers, making a total of 234 miles. The contractors would employ the people in the vicinity of their homes, as a rule. Where they lodged them at the works, they would send weekly remittances to the workmen's families. In localities where suffering prevailed and where public works were impossible, special provision would be made. Mr. Morley commended the subject of Mr. Balfour's statement, but warned the government that the proposals would commit the country to serious financial burdens. The appropriation asked for by Mr. Balfour was approved. The Pope Explains Cardinal Lavifferle's Work.'' Rome, Dec. 4.

It was nearly 3 o'clock this morning before the hremen sue ceeded in subduing the fire on the Hat on Penn avenue, and it was several hours moro before they gave up the searph for bodies. No more were found, and it is pretcertain that Mr. and Mrs. Irwin, the janitor and wife, were the only victims. When the tire broke out thero were forty occupants sleeping in the flat, but they were mostly men and all have been accounted for. It was a terrible night for a tire. A strong, cold wind, filled with flakes of icy snow, was blowing from the west. When the firemen arrived smoke was issuing from all of the windows, while tongues of Hame shot occasionally from the crevices ou the roof. Half-dressed forms of men, shouting for help, wero seen at all the windows, but a sight that filled the spectators with horror was a woman and two babes at a thirdstory window. It was Mrs. G. W. Moore, the wife of the steward at the Hotel Anderson. Instantly ladders were run up, and she was among the first rescued. The top floor was occupied by sixteen persons, Mr. and Mrs. Irwin and fourteen men employed at the Hotel Anderson. At tho first alarm Irwin ran down through the halls, which were already filled with smoke, to alarm the occupants of the rooms. He went as far as the secoud floor, and then rushed back to assist his wife. When he returned to his rooms she was not there. Filled with anxiety for her welfare, he began a search of the building. He dashed from room to room on the fourth floor, and not finding her, started for the third. It was there be died. Overcome by the smoke he sank exhausted near the rear wall on the floor, and at the end of the hall the wife for whom he died perished. She had started down stairs, but was suffocated before reaching the third floor. Her body was fonnd on the third landing. It wa covered witjh plaster, and in the darkness had been trampled over by the firemen long before discovered. The building was a four-story brick. The first floor was used by Joseph Kimmell & Co. as a drug store, and the other three floors for sleeping apartments. The fire is supposed to havo started in the basement from the heating boilers.
