The Austrian village o Toplitz, a wellknown health resort, has been, almost destroyed by Are. The village is situated in the Duchy of Carniola, Auutria-liungary, and should not be confounded with the celebiated Bohemian resort of the same name.' THE SILVER QUESTION. Interview with Interstate-Commerce Commissioner Morrison. ' ATEULOO. 111.. April 13.-The Hon. William It. Morrison, who has arrived home from Washington, was asked by a reporter to-day to give his views on the silver , question. He said his presence at home at this time had no connection with the June Democratic convention. He had simply stopped over on his way West where the Interstate-commerce Commission had some business. He Bald that during the canvass last year he had made several speeches and discussed the silver question freely and fully, stating his own views. "The importance of this subject is second only to the tariff." he said:, "Its unsatisfactory and unsettled condition is believed to have aggravated the financial and business difficulties through which we have been compelled to pass. The place 'which silver shall occupy in our monetary system, it seems. Is a question that will - not down. When the effort to settle it through the Sherman bill by the Republican party was a confessed failure, that party hastened to Join in undoing its work. The sentiment In favor of a large use of silver, and on terms interchangeable with gold, seems to be growing both here and abroad. Aparently nobody In Europe Is courageous or reckless enouga - to attempt the double standard without England's consent. Can". we safely do this with England and all Europe opposing? It id not the, legal tender quality wnich makes our silver dollars more valuable than the silver in them. It Is because, under the nrcctlce of our financial system, they are Interchangeable with gold tnrough the treasury. When silver was discredited by bfcing. left out of the coinage laws In 1873, . there was nothing In the relative values or ullver and gold to Justify 'it. This is not the only cause, but it is one cause why tho commercial value of silver Is not more than it is. In prosperous times we could safely use a large amount of silver, always providing for its convertibility into money which: does not get its value from the law. The honorable Secretary of the Interior. Hoke Smith, said in a speech that the bullion in the treasury was being coined as fast as the mints could do it," which would increase our circulation to the ex'jtent of $35,000, 000. ThU , would seem to mean that the bullion in the treasury, including seigniorage, is being coined." Senator Thurston's Position. OMAHA. Neb., April 13. In an Interview . to-night Senator Thurston denied that he had changed his views on the financial situation during'hls tour in the West. He had always declared himself in harmony with the Republican national platform, favoring American bimetallism. - He was strongly opposed to the opening of the mints to the free coinage of the silver product of other countries until an International bimetallic agreement had been reached. He was In favor, however, of the free coinage of the American production under legislation which . would maintain the equal purchasing and debt-paying power of all American dollars. Senator Thurston predicted that the next Congress would give no financial ' legislation, for the reason that while there was a majority of free silver in the Senate, the President undoubtedly stood committed to the gold standard. So soon as one political party is in power In all branches Mr. Thurston predicted legislation on the silver question, but not before. Such legislation, when it comes, he said, cannot be expected to meet the demands of ; the extremists on either side. It would be the result of compromise. Mr. Thurston expressed the belief that the business paralysis was the result of tUe aliandon- jment of protection, but he ha: seen signs f Improvement during his Western tour. , Cleveland's Comlnic Letter. WASHINGTON, April 13,-The Interest the administration takes In the campaign 1 ajalnst the free sliver movement is undisguised. The letter which President Cleveland is preparing to send to the Chicago burners men In reply to their invitation to deliver an address on the currency will be less emphatic than, that he addressed to the , ' Chamber of Commerce, of New York, early in ISO.', although it is probable he will go more into details and more explicitly state the reasons for his opposition to the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. Secretary Carlisle will deliver two speeches on the subject of currency, but largely devoted to silver. He will probably speak once In Kentucky and once in Tennessee, early in May. His Kentucky speech may bo . delivered at Louisville, although thero have been requests from his old home in 'ovin.$ton to talk to the people there. In Tennessee ho will speak at Memphis or Nashville. Other members of the Cabinet will also pejik on the silver question, although time and place have not been fixed. They believe that a campaign of education on the money question will have the effect of checking the movement toward free silver which, thev believe, has become a serious menace to the integrity of the D?mocratlc party. Sllverlte at CIiU-iiho. CHICAGO, pril 13. The free silver party had its headquarters in Chicago to-day. This morning General A. J. Warner, the chairman of the national committee, and Congressman Jouoph Sibley, one of its. distinguished presidential posstbilltes, arrved at the Auditorium. They were " met by Charles Miller, Sibley's business partner; Colonel Turner, the leader of the free silver party of Michigan, and General Weicott. This afternoon they were Joined by Senator Jones, of Nevada, and to-night they lefi forthe West. To-day'a conference was held with some of the Chicago silver people to consider the result of the anticipated Democratic declaration en free silver in Illinois and to set in motion the arrangements for a monster free silver mass meetIng to offset the one-being arranged toe ly the Chicago sold men. .

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LIBERTY, Intl., April 13.-Scott Stivers, in a crazed condition, was discovered by his family, at 2 o'clock this morning, hacking himself with a rusty knife. He recently was cured -of the drink habit at the Richmond institute, and was one of the most violent and dangerous cases admitted there. Since returning-a month ago It has been apparent that his mind was seriously affected. , Being converted to Christianity, his crazed mind conceived the idea that God had commanded him to torture himself and afterwards to kill his entire family and himself.

a woman, in a perfectly nude condition, v

was round walking along the track of &e Wabash road, near Glenn Hall, this couaty. She was captured and taken before 'Squire Bennett, of Wayne township, this county; and the examination resulted in her being sent to the Jail for safe keeping. All efforts were unavailing to induce the unfortunate woman, whajs about thirty-two years old. to wear garmyfttsV She rips dresses and underclothing into shreds. Several suits were put on her, only to be torn up, and, as a last resort, the Jail authorities were obliged to place her in a straight j Jacket and secure her hands behind her ' back. In no other way could she be kept clothed. The woman Is believed to be Mrs. Carrie Clark, who resided west of the city. She has been insane before, and an effort was once made to get her into the State asylum, but she was regarded as an in-" curable. - lUILDIXG AXD LOAN DECISION. Important Point Settled toy Judge Ktrkpatrlck at Kokomo, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., April 13,-Judge Kirkpatrlck ruled on a case to-day that is of much importance to building and . loan associations, especially those known as "foreign associations," doing, business in this State.1 The case in question is the National Home, Building and .Loan Association, incorporated under the laws of Illinois, vs. Albert B. Roberts. In a suit brought to foreclose a mortgage, defendant entered a demurrer, claiming the association had no legal existence in Indiana, and that the premium exacted for the loan was, In reality, usurious Interest and not collectible, according :o law. The court. In ruling, said: "A State has the authority to exclude corporations chartered by other States, but Indiana has not exercised such power. It is a general proposition that a foreign corporation has a right to do any business in another State which its charter authorizes In the State where It Is organized, unless prohibited by direct statute. This right Is given by the common law rule of comity or courtesy. In the absence of any positive rule affirming, denying or restraining the operations of foreign laws, courts of Justice presume the tacit adoption of them, unless repugnant to its policy or prejudicial to Its interests.- Since a corporation of another State 'is .not prohibited by' any direct statute from doing business and en .eing its con

tracts in this state, it mu3t oe determined if the premium charged conflicts with the State Usury laws. The court holds that a premium, strictly speaking, Is not Interest on money,, but merely a contract price agreed on in borrowing money from the association. A premium is a bonus charged to the stockholder wishing to 'borrow, for the privilege of. anticipating the ultimate value of the stock by obtaining the immediate use of the money his stock would be worth at the wind-up, and if represents a 'discount agreed to be made on the future and uncertain dividend. The demurrer is overruled." ? The contract in question was ma'de prior to the law of 189.1, 'which compels foreign associations to give bond for $100,000 to transact business In this State and, therefore. Is affected by none of the provisions of that law. There are twenty similar cases in court here and several hundred are pending in the State. This case will go at once to the Supreme Court for final adjudication. , ; ' MRS. JOXES FOUND Mil. JONES.

Long? Separated . Family Reunited Through it Pension Application. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAPORTE, Ind., April 13. Special examiner Pitman, of , this city, has unearthed a strange pension case. Mrs. Rebecca Jones, of Auburn, maue application for a pension in 18&J under the Mexican pension, act, her husband, Henry W. Jones, who was a veteran of that war, being mourned as dead. Shortly after she applied her husband, who then lived at Wanatah, this county, also applied. The facts In the application corresponding so fully with those in the wife's application led to an investigation, which revealed the fact. Mrs. Jones was left with four children In IStxi. her husband goingWest to seek his fartune In the gold mines. Not meeting with the luck he expected he returned East. About that time a stage coach was attacked by Indians and its occupants massacred and the newspapers reported Jones among the slain. The fact was he took a later coach and was not molested. He did not rejoin his family, but turned up at Wanatah, where he made his pension application, afterwards going to Chicago, to which city the examiner traced him. He was going under the namo of Harrison W. Jone, the name he gave when he enlisted.

A Crook In the Forged Deed and I Mortgage ItnslneM Arrested. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKFORT. Ind., April 13. A clever crook was thwarted In his purpose and landed In Jail here to-day, and tho officers are of the belief that they have in custody a . much-wanted criminal.

Today Debley, or Panley, called at the several banks and attempted to deposit the mortgage as collateral. The recorder hearing of the attempted negotiation became suspicious and caused an investigation, with the result that the deed and mortgage were discovered to be forgeries.

On each of these papers appeared the same names, Debley and .Moore. Thompson- absolutely refuses to tell where he is from ors answer any question put to him by the officers.

FIRE IN A CAPITOL

ILLIXOIS STATE1IOUSE DAMAGED BY SMOKE AND FLAMES.

Almost a Panic Among the Employes,

Who Made Preparations to Move .. Oat Roof Partly Darned.

SPRINGFIELD. III., April 13.-Fire broke

out to-day In the Senate wing of the Statehouse and, faned by a fierce gale, raged for

over an hour and caused a damage of $25,000, During the fire the greatest excitement prevailed among the inmates of the Statehouse and, owing to the high wind and dif

ficulty in getting at the fire, . which was under the roof, it was for a time feared that

'the whole Statehouse would be ruined.

The fire was, discovered about noon by

seme janitors in the Senate chamber. Fire

men and employes of the State then spent half an hour of vain search for the loca

tion of the flames. They were finally lo

cated on the roof along the western side of tho Senate wing, where tinners had

been engaged in repairing the roof. A general alarm was immediately turned in, but by the time the department arrived the fire had already attained considerable headway underneath the metal covering of the roof. The firemen had great difficulty in getting their lines of hoae to : the roof. The distance to the ground is over 100 feet. The

smoke was overpowering and they were.

compelled to go on the roof and chop holes In the metal sheathing and run their streams in that way. To do this heavy lines of hose had to be drawn to the roof. It required time and when the streams began to play the fire had crept along from the Senate wing to the base of the dome. Here, fortunately, was a brick fire wall completely shutting off the rest of the building. The strong wind, however, caused the flames to burn liercely, and dense volumes of smoke came from all quarters of tne Statehouse. Through the windows at the base of tne dome the smoke oozed out and gave the impression that the whole building was afire. The frightened employes in tne various departments of the Capitol were in a panicky state. Hundreds of people crowded into the building to watch the fire and fear was expressed that the flames would eat their way to the inner dome which is of pino wood. At 1:30, however, the flames were under control and shortly after that th fire was out. The quantities of water poured in through the roof leaked through the Senate celling, causing considerable water damage to the frescoes and ornamental rellets in the chamber. The smoke penetrated all parts of the west wing and has probably caused much damage to the walls. Both libraries were uninjured. Before the fire got well started the doors -were closed and these parts of the building, with the chamber of the House, are wholly uninjured. I ear that the fire would spread caused fieveral of the State officials to make preparation to move out the property left in tneir charge. The Adjutant-general, who nas in his care the battle flags, trophies and relics of the Mexican and civil wars . made arrangements to take . them to a place of safety. In the Treasurer's, Auditor's and other offices all the books, and money were placed In vaults and the employes moved out, fearing tnat the ceilings might fall. The origin of the fire Is supposed to have been a tinners' furnace' which had been left on the roof at dinner time by themen who were engaged in making repairs. There is no insurance, as it has never been the custom of the State to insure its own property. A large force of men has been set to work to repair the damage. It is feared tha' some of the steel supports beneath the roof where the fire reigned have been so warped that they will have to be replaced with new ones. Should this be the case the entire roof on the west side will have to be torn out and rebuilt. ' "NELLIE BLY" MARRIED.

Owing to my business affairs, and to his, we both desired to keep it secret for a time. It is his wish as soon as arrangements are completed to make a formal announcement of the wedding. Sickness in my own family also caused us to delay Its publication." Miss Cochran began newspaper work on the Pittsburg Dispatch -when she was fifteen years old. She has been engaged in similar work in New York for about eight years, and has become famous for the sensational character of her contributions to newspaper ' literature. One of her first exploits was to feign insanity and get herself incarcerated in the Blackwell's Island Asylum for the purpose of describing her experiences.

Y.. April 13,The authorities of the Mat tea wan Asylum are at last on the track jt Oliver Curtis Perry, the notorious train robber, and the chance of catching him seems better tonight than it has been at any time since the sensational escape of Wednesday night. On Thursday night J about 10:30 p. m.. Mrs. Lewis Adams, who lives near Hughsonvllle, was awakened by some one trying to force an entrance.; She arose and opened the front door.

When the Schoenfelds arose Friday morning they found that a pair of rubber boots, a single-breasted sacK coat and a Mexican sombrero of light color, which Schoenfeld recently brought from Texas, had been stolen. These articles had been taken from the kitchen, where Perry had eaten everything within reach. Outside the house, lying on a stone wall, Schoenfeld found, a pair of socks, the. bottom of which were entirely worn through, and close beside them was a piece of bark with strips of a handkerchief, such as Is used in the asylum, and with whVch the bark had evidently been tied'to the convict's feet. He had discarded his . rough footgear for the boots which he found In the house. To-night the socks were positively identified at the asy7 lum as having belonged to Pf rry, being one of two pair which had been sent to him by a friend while there. The other pair was found In Perrv's cell. They are entirely different from "the regulation asylum socks. Rewards for Perry's Capture. ALBANY, N.
