niraln. The two boys were taKenoatof a w indow oa a ladder and she went out by a stairway. 31r. Dunn What ia the custom in regard to medical attendance! ...... Witness-Wemake a verr light charge for medicine and for the calla. e Lad to charge for the calla because otherwise many irould be unnecessary. We do not charge lor every call. I usually charged only for the first call. ... -v Dr. McLaln, who was recalled, described the exit. He said: "On the Ueorgjaetreet building (tbe east wing) there was the main itairwAj; the two lire escapes. There was a roof ten or twelro feet helow the windowa on the north end. on which a number of patients went out. Hope tire escapes were placed in most of the rooms. ONE OF THE PKOHUCTOKS. Dr. Charles L. Wilson, connected with Dr. Allen in the proprietorship of the metitute, though owning none of the realty, waa the next witness. He said he did not reside in the building: that his hours ordinarily were from 7:30 a. m. to G. P. M., or longer, when his services were needed. It waa 12:20 a. M., or possibly a little later, when he arrived at the fire. Received message bv telephone at hie house, and telephoned to stable for his horses. Drove as last as could go. Went into ChesapeaUo street, or alley, through the- operatintrrooin, into the east building. Conla not go tip stairs that way. The roof had fallen and the water waa pouring down. 1 went back and cam out next on toe Georgia-street front. Then the whole top of the east building waa in Uamce, and onelourth or more of the- building on the corner of Georgia and Illinois, that which formerly was known as the Commercial HoteL I ran around to the Illinois-street exit, which was between what was the Commercial Hotel and the old liickinjr House. There were two hotels, and the exit was between. I found they wera brlngrmc trunks out at that exit. I don t know that I saw any patients brought dorn that way. I went immediately to the nursery, and that was empty. I went aa far as 1 could get over the building. 1 was unable to go above the nursery floor on account of the smoke and tire. I went to the Weddell House and began looking after those who were injured. ri o go back a little: I made inquiries of the tire chief and firemen as to the probability of patients and inmates all being removed. They said every one was out. Of course that relieved me very, much, and I rested In that belief. The witness then took np the matter of precautions against fire and the apparatus kept in the institute. Mr. Dunn Have there been any fires in the institute since ou have been there! Witness I came back from Atlanta in July, ISHu I have been in the Surgical Institute since 1SG9. There was a tire last erring in the kitchen, which dm considerable damage. The physicians and most of the patients were in the country at a picnic, on the I.. D. &, S. road. John Wilson was in chsrge at the bouse, and it was put out. That, and an occasional bnrning rag or paper rs all I remember In the last four years. Mr. Dunn What charge is customary for ft visit to a patient in the house! Witness I think not over 50 or 7 cent.. Yct myself. I haye never, charged for a visit of that kind. If the acnto sickness interrupts the regular treatment it has always been our custom to make up the lost time. . , Mr. Dunn Is it obligatory that the patient snail board and room in the house in taking treatment? Witness Aa a rule it is. but it depends on the treatment of the case. We have this leading idea in the treatment of any ase: What circumstances will best conribute to the result! There is always quite a number of cases in the city people living here and others boarding in hotels. Treatment has not been stopped on those who bavt gone out of the house for the pnrpose of punishment. This closed the morning work of the inquest. In the afternoon the investigation was held at the Weddell House, the Surgical Institnte annex, in order to get the testimony of witnesses wno are too seriously crippled to come to the court-house. ONE OF THE INJURED. The first witness waa Leora Knowles, a fifteen-year-old girl, who came into the room on crutches. She said that at the time of the tire she was in Ward IS, in the Georgia-street building, top tioor. .. . . Mr. Dunn Did you have time to get ontf Witness If we had awakened in time we would have had time to get out by the hall. We got out on the roof and from there by the tire ladder to the ground. I was taken to Sherman's restaurant. When I came to the institute 1 was told about the fire escapes, but don't know who told me. I walk better with my braces on. I sleep with them on. The night watchman brought Ice water and ice for the ice bags. Mr. Dunn Have you been sick. other than with the chronic trouble? Witness 1 had the grip once. Dr. Batman attended me. Filty cents was all the charge for the whole thing. Mr. Dunn Were you acquainted with Katie Strawn? Witness Yes. She was not able to walk without assistance. Arthur liayliss was able to walk on crutches He could get tip and down stairs on crutches. My roommate. Miss Mason, had her meals brought to h r regularly. 1 was charged $5 a week for board and room. Everything in my room was kept nice and clean. Those lodged in cheaper quarters received as good attention. I have been all through the building. The general condition of the building was clean. It was nicely kept. 1 knew where all the iron ladders outside tLo building were. Mr. Dunn Were yon acquainted with Irma I'ayne-T Witness Yes. sir. I don't think she was able to move around without crutches. 1 do not think Miss Arnold was. Hannah Urooka was able to move around without crutch. Mr. Dunn Do you think Miss Brooks could have gotten out if she had not been eo frightened? Witneps Yes, sir. Mr. Sheppsrd Who was your room-mate and awakened you? Witness Miss Donovan. Wo went out in our night-clothes. Miss McDonald wait id to dress. Mr. Sheppard How many went out of the window before you? Witness Two went out before I did and Miss Mason after I did.

Witness When I awoke I heard screamiug everywhere. 1 heard my room-mate, Mr. Kamstack, telling me the house was on tire. He was up and on the floor when I woke no. He seemed much excited. I don't think he was drt-ssed. Mr. Ellis was also in tho room? He was sitting up in his bed. I got out the widow and dropped to the roof below, over the kitchen. Went across to the next roof, from there to the brace-shop, and then down a ladder. My first Jump was twelve to fifteen feet. Didn't take my crutches with me. The firemen wrre in the alley when I got down. Think it was five minutes from the time I was awakened until I got down into tbe alley. Kamstack could nave followed me. He was more capable of handling himself than 1 am. Ellis could have followed. He is nearly as capable of morement as I am Fred Dockendorf roomed in No. b7, next room west of mine. He could walk as well an I, if not better. Did not know Irma I'ayne or Minnie Arnold by name; may have known them by sight. Didn't know II. A. Pry or. Knew Stella Speice.

Dr. Pryor could walk betj ter than I can. Mr. Dunn Why didn't he get out? Witness Only that he was excited, acared or something. I asked him when I foe to the top of the stairs if he was go in jr. It said: "Yes; keep ahead." I knew where all the tire-escapes were. One of the colored boys, when I first came, showed them to me. I believe I was one of the last to come out. I believe Ellis was the only one I knew who needed assistance in getting np and down stairs. Deokendorf walked all over with his crutches. I was there six months. I read my contract before signing it. There was nothing about stopping in the house if I took treatment. I pay S&5 per week for board and room.

The societies having in charge the training of Sonday-school teachers nnder Dr. Gilbert's system have recently improved and enlarged their plans. The American Institute of Keligious Education, the parent society, whose field is the Nation, has divided the work into two departments. Dr. Gilbert will continue as general superintendent, devoting himself to the preparation of text-books, tbe organization and management - of schools, tbe conduct of speeial sessions, the holding of training classes and conferences, and the representation of the cause before tbe public. Dr. J. S. Jenckes, of this city, has been elected general secretary and will supervise the material interests of the institute and its auxiliaries, raising funds, conducting correspondence, and arranging tho necessary preliminaries for the introduction of the work in new fields. Dr. Gilbert will leave next week cn his five months' trip through the Southern, Western and Northwestern States, as previously arranged. Dr. Jenckes will remain in this city, addressing himself first to the task of piscina the Indianapolis work on a good financial basis. When that la accomplished he will take the State work and continue until a superintendent is found and installed, and the money provided for his support It is expected that these temporalities will be adjusted by September, at which time the general superintendent and the general secretary will be able to plan similar joint enorts in other States. Miss Grace Duvall has been elected, registrar of the institute, and will keep the old office, 49 Circle street, for the present, acting as clerk to Dr. Jenckes and Mrs. Nash. Tbe board or directors of the Indianapolis Normal Training School met yesterday afternoon and ratitied the aotion of tho American Institute, so far as it pertained to this city, accepting the services of Dr. Jenckes as financial agent until the eum of Sl.CCO. in addition to present pledges, is raised, the amount needed for all purposes. The board also elected Mrs. Laura 13. Nash as city superintendent, who will be constantly engaged in the interest of the training classes, organizing and superintending them, and laboring to seeure their highest efficiency. Mrs. Nash is a sprightly, well-educated lady, known to many as the first assistant in the free kindergarten. She is highly commended by Mrs. Maker, the superintendent of that institution, with whom she has labored for the last two years. It is felt that hsr acceptance of this position is a guarantee of success. ' Dr. Gilbert is greatly elated at tbe prospect. He has patiently labored on iu this movement, bearing all of its burdens. Relieved of the financial and business part, ho can address himself to the one work which lies near his heart, that of perfecting his system of teacher training. Thisuommnnity, that has witnessed the heroic efforts made during the last three years, will surely respond to the new departure. Mrs. Nash, in the ioimation of classes and selection of faculty. Dr. Jenckes in raising funds and supervising details. Dr. Gilbert in preparing text-books, all ought to receive the moat cordial support. And this cause mubt become one of which every citizen will be proud.

TDE BURGLARS tYERE EARLY. II. E. Elitnn'i Residence Entered bj Cattlng the Glass in tbs Front Door. Tho house of M. E. Elstun. an employe at II. T. Conde'a establishment, was found last evening to have been visited by burglars. When Mrs. Elstun returned homo from down town, at 8 o'clock, she found a panel of tbe thick glass out of the front door and the key gone. The marauders had locked, the, dnotjn taking oat the key, and this defeated thus mode of entrance. They then attempted entranceon tho side and rear by cutting out a slat in the abutters. There was no evidence of their having effected their purpose. When Mr. Elstun arrived home from his work, at midnight, he notified the police, and Captain Dawson drove to the house. A search was made by himself. Sergeant Kurte and several patrolmen, but no clew was found. It is singular that the burglarious work could have been done so early in the evening, when there was a sooial party in progress at the next door soutn. Bobbed PottoCQce. Clinton Hanson, a young man whose home is at Marshtield, Warren county, broke into tho postoffice at that place and made away with a bundle of postage stamps. He was arrested by tho municipal authorities on tho charge of burglary, and now the federal authorities are trying to get him for robbing the government's property. Deierted Waif Dies from Exposure.

It la quite obvious that the device of gerrymander and the disregard of the requirement of eqnal population in representation are being mere and more resorted to both in respect of congressional representation and in the election of State legislatures. And it is equally obvious to those who have studied the history of oivll institutions, that such practioss against really democratic and republican government will, if they are permitted to continue and to grow, inevitably result first, in the destruction of the liberties and immnnitiesof the great body of people, and secondly, in a convulsion wherein the people will,, at whatever cost and by whatever means may seem most effectual, repossess themselves of the rights out of which they have been thus defrauded. To think otherwise implies a want of faith in the possibility of republican government founded upon justice and equal rights. It is, of course, perfectly within the competence of Congress to provide for really contiguous territory and for really equal numbers in each district. Will lie Solid for IlarrUon. New York Pre as. Mr. C. W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, who was the organizer of the Gresharu forces in 1S48, said yesterday that he . lias no doubt that the solid Indiana delegation to the national convention will favor President Harrison for renomination. Mr. Fairbanks has no morn reason to be favorable to President Harrison than tour years ago. Indeed, the Gresham men have been rather put out of humor because J udge Gresham was not olovatedtothe Supreme Court bench. Mr. Fairbanka's opinion of the situation in Indiana may thereforo be regarded as wholly impartial. Increased Forest Growth. Manchester (N. If.) Mirror. A Massachusetts paper is astonished by the discovery that wood sells for a less price per cord in tbe town where the pacer is published than it did forty years ago, and that more acres in that vicinity are now covered with trees tban there were before the, war, but there is scarcely a locality in New England of whieh the same statement cannot truthfully be made. m Wonder if lteee Thinks So? , - District Tribune.

Professor Angela Ueilprin, who has been selected to bead the expedition which the Academy of Natural Science will send to the relief of Lieutenant Peary, accompained the original expedition to McCormicfc bay and is thoroughly conversant with the explorer's plans. He is also familiar with the Arctic region, being well-known as a geographer and paleontologist Professor Ueilprin is one of the curators ol the Academy of Natural Science, and is regarded by the great majority of the members as a man pre-eminently qualltied to conduct the Peary relief expedition. The details of the relief expedition and its movemen ts havo been placed in the hands of a committee, of which Professor Ueilprin is chairman. They will hold their first meeting next Friday. Professor Ueilprin, who was seen at his office this evening by your correspondent, was engaged in drawing up the preliminary plana to be submitted to his committee, and he is confident that he will lind Lieutenant Peary and party at McUormick bay. "As to tbe plans for the expedition," he said, "they are not yet in such shape as to be published. I have simply formulated the general plan which it will follow to reach and rescue the Peary exedition. The expedition will start from this city early in Lieutenant Tcary. Jnne. and leave St. Johns. N. F.. in all probability, in the steam whaler Kite, the samo vessel which took Peary and his expedition to McCormick bay in the 6unimer of lb'Jl, about the end of Juno. "I expect to reach Melville bay at about the time of the earliest bresking up of the ice pack. This usually takes place about the third week of July, when a free passage is permitted northwestward to Cape York, in latitude TV. 50'. Beyond Cape York the free north water is reached, and in a day and a half or two days' Rail 1 believe we will reach Poary. whom we hope to rind safe at his headquarters. Lieutenant Peary and his exploring expedition expected to return to their headquartera on McCormick bay, after the journey over the inland ice, in the last week of 'July. They will be ready to leave on their return southward between the 1st and 5th of August. The relief expedition will then reach Peary's headquarters in advance of the Lieutenant's time of departure. A year's extra provisions will be taken for Peary's party in the event of possible emergencies compelling anotheryear's stay in the Arctic region." The rersonnel of the relief party. Prof. Ileilnrin said, bad not been as yet decided iipou. That was a matter for the committee to consider, and he had not decided yet as to how many members the relief party would consist of. When asked what he Mrs. reary, in Tier Arctic Suit. would do if Pear7 iras not found in McCormick bay he replied: "The course of aotion in that event has not been decided upon. It would be almost useless to pusn inland across the ice. as we would have nothing to guide us. That we shall lind the party at McCermiok's bay I am confident." Applications have already been made by persons wishing to join the expedition, but eo far nobody has been acoepted. HARRISON ON ARBITRATION. The President's Address Before the Ecumenical Council. WsnhlJjrton Post. , The short address delivered by President Harrison before the Kcumenical Methodist Conference, held here in October, while that body had under discussion the snbject of arbitration, will be of interest at this time. Mr. Harrison said in part: . "Yon have to-day. as the theme of discussion, the subject of international arbitration, and this being a public and enlarged use of tbe word, perhaps makes tuy presence hore as an officer of the United rJtates specially appropriate. It is a curious incident that on this day, appointed by me some days ago and before I was aware of the theme of the occasion which we have here this morning. 1 had appointed this afternoon to visit the great gun foundry of the United States at the navy-yard. Tilings have come in their proper sequence. I am here at this arbitration meeting before I go to the gun foundry. This subject is one which has long attracted the attention and 1 think I may say has greatly attracted tbe interest and adherence of the United States as that of any other Christian power in the world. "It is known to yon all that in tbe recent conference of the American States at Washington the proposition was distinctly made and adopted by the representatives of all, or nearly all, of the governments represented that, as applied to thla hemisphere, all international disputes should be settled by arbitration. Of coarse, there are limitations an yet in the nature of things to the complete and general adoption of snch a scheme. It is quite possible to apply arbitration to a dispute as to a boundary lice; it is quite impossible, it seems to me, to apply it to a case of international feud. If there ia present a disposition to subjugate, an aggressive spirit to seize territory, a spirit of national aggrandizement tbat does not stop to consider the rights of other men and other people to such a case and to snch a spirit international arbitration has no. or if any, a remote and difficult application. It is fora spirit of Christian sentiment, manifesting itself in the fair international arbitration. "But I do cot tintend to enter into a discussion of the theme, for setting forth of which you baTe with deliberation annotated them who have given it attention. Let me therefore sajr simply this: For niyeelf, temporarily in a place of inflnenco in this country, and much more for the great body of lta citiienship the desire of Amer-

It would have been Tain to suggest the nulllugdown of one of the block-bouses aud family disarmament of one of tho settlers en the hostile Indian frontier, lie would have told you rightly that the times were cot right.

'.THE INDIANA PRIMARIES. Harrison Approved by tbe People Characteristics of Indiana Politicians. Chicago Inter Ocean. As every unprejudiced person expected, a majority of the Republicans of Indiana have made use of the first occasion that presented itself for approving the administration of President Haarison, and for resolving in favor of his re-election. In the convention held on Thursday, for the purpose of chosiog cbairmeu of tho district committees, the friends of tbe President were in decisive majorities. Not a chairman was chosen wbo is actively hostile to him. and in most of the assemblies resolutions pledging the delegates from the districts to his support at Minneapolis wero passed: in all of them resolutions approving his administrative action were adopted. It is not ntrange that the President has failed to pleaso all the Republicans of Indiana. It is a State in whicn the pressure of politics registers higher to tho square men than in any other. It is a close fetate at best, and it is a btate in which the independent voter is unusually numerous and unusually self-assertive; he does not cere much about forming a third party, in the aggregate of which his personality and importance would be lost, bnt he delights in the performance of that feat which by soiuo is called "scratching" and by others "Hopping." lie does not conceal his purpose, he boasts of it long before election day comes, and his boasting perturbs tbe party whose candidate he threatens to "ficratch." and delight the party to wbich he promises to flop." The cousequence is plain. There is hot and heavy work by the one party to induce him to recousider his purpose of scratching," and equally hot and heavy work by the other party to induce him to remain steadfast in bis determination to flop." Ilenoe, mainly, though other causes contribute to tho result, the Indiana crop of politicians is both large and lively. The politician who places too low an estimate on the value of his services is rare in any State and is phenomenally scarce in Indiana. Therefore it follows that when there is one postotlice vacant there are twenty people who think that they ought to step into it, .Nor is the number of gentlemen wbo believe, and with good cause, that they are onalirled for the duties of a consul, or for those of chief of a bureau, small. The trouble is that the numbers of chiefs of bureau and consuls is lixed by law. Most of tbe Indiana opposition to Mr. Harrison's renomjnation has come from gentlemen disappointed of place to which thoy aspired, and for which, quite possibly, they are well fitted. It is hard for any Jones to see any Roblson selected in preference to himself. But the disappointed gentlemen were Americana and Republicans bofore they aspired to tbe office, and will be so after the vision of place has vanished from before their eyes. They are just men who confess that in its general scope and trend the policy of the President has been wise and has added to the wealth and honor of the Republic And in due time they will be found working for his renomination, and afterward for his election if he be renominated, or for the eleotion of his successful rival if suoh there be. If They Had Been English Seamen Boston JeuraaL If it bad been English seamen who were set upon and murdered bnt it is impossible to imagine such a thing. Chili has far greater grounds for a grievance against Enitlaud than against America. After Captain Schley had indignantly refused to lend his vesssl for sueh a pnrpose, it was an he gliih man-of-war. it will be remembered, which Balniaceda bribed to carry away the stolen bullion. Rut no English sailors were slain in Valparaiso. Ko English sailor was so much as touched. American sailors who prstended to belong to English vessels were permitted to pass scathless throngb tbe eity'a streets. The reason? simply this. Chili understands the British temper. It has tasted it before. It knew that for every affront to the English uniform, prompt reparation would be demandedand demanded, too, not through the slow and devious channels ofdiplomacy, but at the muzzle of English guns. If the United States in past years had only asserted its eelf-respect, and taken similar measures to protect its citizens, there would now be no talk of war with Chili. We are only reading what we have sown. lloltnan't Creed. Ylncennes Commercial. This is Holmsn's creed: Not a cent for eoldiers, not a cent for irrigation, not a cent for the improvement of our rivers, not a cent for the completion of our men-of-war, not a cent for coast defenses, cot a cent for agricultural college, not a cent to cheapen and extend our postal service, not a cent to protect our fahermen, not a cent for tbe erection of public buildings in the now States, not a cent for any of a thousand needed improvements, but $5,0C0 a year for Iiolman and the rebel brigadiers in tho House of Representatives. It is perfectly safe to predict that one year of this sort of statesmanship will suffice for the eonntry. Served One Purpose. Boston Herald.
