Dewey reached the scene, and with ladders climbed to the second story windows, smashed the windows and rescued several patients. Almost all the patients refused to cooperate hi the effort being made to save them, and were only rescued by being dragged from the names and held from returning. A marvelous escape was that -of an inmate, who fell with the second door, struck the burning debris, above the furnace, and bounded through a window to the ground uninjured.

At the Coroner's inquest yesterday afternoon, Superintendent Duwey testified that he had asked the Legislature two years for 2,M0 to protect these de taefeed wards from fire; that one thou.sand dollars was allowed, all of which was used in watermalus and hydrants, and that the amount was insuflicieat to answer the purpose. Alter hearing Superintendent Dewey's -testimony, the Coroner's Jury adjourned until to-day. The fire was caused by defects la the ftteam beating apparatus, and the loss of life may be accounted for principally from the fact of the imbecility and helplessness of insane persons in such emergencies.

AN AVALANOHfc

TrM r4M WrtHHKt In mm -in UUn VW Hy mm AxlmH-HmmH Mm mmwA. NUMr KUtwl hm4 IlUWNHt, LoKiKjy, January is. Vienna dispatches describe a snow slide in the mountainous rrovlnoe of Carluthla, in Austria, which overwheliuned, in an instant, the portion of ths etty ol Glagenfurt whwh lies under -Urn Alpine foolhU.8. The snow Ml has been unnsnaliy hsavy this winter, but no danger was anticliwtetl until the middle of last week, when slight earthquake shocks were reported at various jwlnU in the CarHic- Alp. There was anxiety la Glagonfart, not so much because earthqtMkes mlht visit them, but because a slight vibration of the mountains would start an avalaucbe that might and would wreck the old historic town. Outside ot these fears, some hunters brought the unwelcome news that there warejlgu. of. movements, along the snow inassss of the mountains, but they attributed It to a jmrtlal thaw. Yesterday wonting, howevor, when worshipers were en their way to the Cathedral, a heavy rumbling was heard far up ou the mountains. A glaace upward from the city saw the snow-olad surface In billowy motion, and in less than three minutos the aval a ache oanve with A CRASH AM KOAK upon tbe outskirts ot the town, burying some houses thirty feet in snow, aim sweeping lighter structures before it like straws. Parties of meu at once rusuiKi to the rescue of the overwhelmed citizens. On the upper shore it was found that many of the inhabitants had been utterly swept away. Twenty-five corpses were discovered, some of them stripped of every portion of clothing and horribly mangled. Nearly a hundred persons were fouud suffering from contused wouuds, or crushed and hclnless under beams ana Many affirm thataueaithquake shock had Imar felt, but it is held that the fall of such a mass of snow would account for any vibrations felt. THE NATIONAL TRAIL. The Prospect eft he NHeoeM of the l'r)pof(l Measure Knthi r Misty, OwIhjc to Vlgtramn Oppmltlea What the KftVet Will He. St. Lol'18, Mo., January 19. "I have given up all hope that tho National Cattle Trail bill will get through Congress," was said by fleary Warren, oce of the lobbying committee sent to Washington by the Texas State Stock Association. He is at the Llndcll Hotel Returning to Weatherford, Texas, his home. "It seems to me now that there Is no chance ot the bill's success." "Why?" asked the reporter , who has been constantly informed that It was a surety. Because we have had more to fight against thau the opposition of Kansas and the northwest. The eastern cattlemen have also placed themselves la antagonism to the bill, and it is disapproved of by others oa the ground that its passage would be against public policy, as it affected the rights of actual settlers. This is the gronnd taken, for Instance, by Senator Edmunds, with whom I had a talk before I left Washington, although he said that he would make no active objection to the bill. Our attempt to re concile OOK KANSAS OITOXIO'TS 1LM not succeed, and I am going home. Kx -Congressman Upson, the other Texas committeeman, will probably remain la Washington." t . What will Texas do now, falling to get the trail?" "Get rid of some of Its breeding cattle by railroad shipments, In order to reduce the number ot the stock which have been kept for supply purposes. Next season over 500,000 cows and immature cattle will come to the cast from the Texas ranges. In consequence tbe market will be glutted with cheap but poor beef." The National Cattle Convention, which met in St. Louis last November, passed a resolution a.sking Congress to withdraw from settlement a strip of the public domain, six miles wide and CS0 miles long, extending from Ked River on the South to the Ked River on the North, and set It aside to be used as a National highway, over which the oattle sold la Texas could be driven to their Northern purchasers. The trail thus asked for would contain 4,090 square miles or 2,811,300 acres of land la the convention, Kansas announced that it would resist the nassace of the bill, and its ex ample has been followed by other States slnoe Congress coavened.

Ho lias been wirutlnizod closely by friend and foes. His every movement has been re ported, his every utterance bearing uiKin DUbllo ontcos lias been eagerly caught up and made the subject of comment. Ho has lived in the tierce light of publicity.

The opposition has watched fc .'u if i.:.. him with the utmost jealousy also. Every opportunity to find him making nrstakes in action or in utterance has been searched for with tho avidity of the hound upon tho sceut. The man who had successfully passed through this ordeal at any time would bo resranbd as evincing no ordinary circum sueetion. The man who succeeds in it in the present peculiar relations of par ties has achieved a sigmil triumph. If during that period Governor Clove laud has said a word or done ono act inconsistent Willi sound srood sense, or witn a roor Hmrociation wdation of the re snonslmiities cf tho posittoi position to which ho lias ueeu eiecteu, it nasescapcuu.epu"lio attoution. His opponents, as well as his supporters, are alike unaware of it. There is not a little that is instnic tivo in the movemeuts of ttie former class. Smarting under tho bitterness of their defeat, ami having just gone through a campaign in which they had sturitoiislv attempted to disparage tho tlisai-ninintfld ! has not furnished them a shadow of tho onnortunitv they sought. He has ac commodated them with no mistakes whatever. Ho lias not omited to talk frankly, and in ono instance ho has givt l,t .J, policy bAr mo i.uportant feature of his incoming admin-1 ,B.";.

He has neither boon diplomatic nor evasive in these assurances at any time. These things have done much to assure the people that in President Cleveland they are to have a sensible, sagacious and discreet Chief Magistrate. In the absence of qualities for tho lack of which he was criticised by politicians in the late campaign b!ds fair to be found in imnortant advantage, lie is with tlin wavs of Washing ton; he is unversed in tlie arts of the tv.lltifilan; but it looks now as if he might come into Washington like a eool hrftozo from the country, which is nMHlml to Diirifv tho sultry air of the capital. The Nation asks for a new era in its administration of public offices. It is appropriate that business methods should take the nlaoe of the schemes of the political partisan in carrying-, ou tlie Government. We reuuire a man who ilniiAH of his oilice in mat that spirit, He is better fitted to succeed in it than if ho lmd boon bred a nolitician.

Ho reavows his devotion to tlie cause of civil-service reform and holds himself "pledged" to tho support of the Pendleton act And ho goes even fni tlii.r. Ho refers to 'a class of Goveminent positions winch are not witlim tlie letter of the civil-service statute, H. ....... - , . . ... . and are disconnected with the policy oi nn Administration." and declares that 'removal therefrom of the present muntH ahotild not bo made during tlie terms for which they were appointed holding such positions have forieiteu all just claim to retention, because they nave useu ineir pinvra J"i i'v imhim n il srosrartt ot t icir uutv to tne people, and because, Instead of being .1. ..iililio iurvant.4. thBV llSTe .,rovcj themselves ollensive itrtisns RJul unsCnipuloiH manipulators of local , nianaeement" Ths plajn enoUg.

Mr. Hlains has had little te say of late. His bitter and foolish harangue at Augusta after his defeat was enough. It is well. Hut tlie slhmt Plumed Knight la sad over the thought of what might have been, and heaves a deep sigh from timo to time as tlie sjM'etui money kings around the banquet board at DolmonieoN rise up before him. And ho is particularly depressed When the shadow of Dr. Uurclmrd falls before his gaze. Seven months ago the future wa roseate in Mr. Blaine's mind. Tho ambitious statesman hail been nominated for President by tho Republican Conventlon. He hail "served his people" for a quarter of a century in legislative halls, but tho great aim of his life wa? to "servo" thorn in tho Executive Department. Ho coveted the honor ol ruling lifty-Uve million people. No Republican candidate for twenty-live years iiad faded to enter the vVhlti Houso. Surely he, with his magnetism and his audacity, was not to be defeated. A Republican nomination w;iw equivalent to an election. So, acting on this pleasing theory, ho began early tn shape his plans tor administering the atlair.s of the Government. Mr. Hlaine bad accept nl tho aid ol Jay Gould, the wily monopolist. Mr. Gould's railroad syndicate owed- the Government a vast sum of money which was to lie conveniently forgotten by the new Cabinet. Star-Route, Brady, StnrRoute Dorsoy. Whisky-Ring .Joyce, and Navy-Ring Roach were all ardent supporters of Mr. Blaine. These men wen to lie near the throne. Result: A ricl harvest for Mr. Bla'ne.

Since the election, as the world learnmore and more of tho President-elect, it is seen that with Ids unlet grasp ol niiblia affairs, his instinctive knowitdgu of right, his great sense of duty, l.lu .ulm iiiiliolnl minil. hiqnmture lUtllf mcnt and his entiro truthfulness, he it a c-rcater statesman than could lie mailt out of a whole school of his pragraatlC(,i crif,cs. Grover Cleveland manifested neithet excitement nor anxiety when it became evident that an attempt to repeat tin fraud of 1886 was contemplated. He felt strong in the firmness and honestv of the people. Victory did not unduly nlatn him. and did not cause tlie slight est change in his simple habits or tin. quiet discharge of his duties. Since the election lie has made no injudicious utterance, although he ban talked freely and frankly with all. His words have been words of wisdom because they havo come with sincerity from an honest heart.
