VICTIMS OF FIRE.

An Infirmary Is Burned at Houston, Tex. Two Staters of St. Joseph Perish and Another Is Badly Injured—Two Patients Are Missiug—Business Houses Destroyed. Houston. Tex., Oct 17.—The worst fire in the history of Houston broke out at 2:40 a. m. Tuesday and before it was got under control, at 4:30, not only had a large amount of property been destroyed, but two Sisters of St. Joseph were burned to death, two infirmary patients also perished and a third Sister was dangerously injured. The fire originated in the San Jacinto hotel, "a boarding-house at Franklin and San Jacinto streets, from which the blaze spread rapidly to the adjoining small buildings of St. Joseph’s infirmary on Franklin street, destroying a large two-story frame annex and then the new four-story brick main building. Loss of Life. The destruction of these buildings was accompanied by loss of life. Sisters Doleral and Jans were burned beyond all possibility of recognition, while Sister Clothilde was fearfully burned about the face, neck, breast and arms, her recovery being in doubt. Two patients are also missing, but there is not the slightest doubt that they also perished. On San Jacinto street the fire spread to a one-story cottage and next destroyed Alexander’s three-story board-ing-house, managed by Mrs. J. J. Hussey; the three-story brick building of W. N. Lhaw, occupied by the S. M. Rushmore Grocery company, and J. W. Hancock, stationer; A. Chiene’s three-story furniture house and W. L. Foley’s dry goods house, the largest in the city. The total loss is about $438,000; total insurance, §151,500.

MANY SHIPS LOST.

Ivanhoe, with Eighteen Men, Probably Wrecked on the Pacific Coast. San Francisco, Oct. 17.—The gale which has prevailed along the north Pacific coast since Saturday last has undoubtedly caused widespread disaster to shipping interests. At least three schooners are known to be wrecked. There is little doubt that the Southern Pacific raft of 10,000 spars and piles, valued at 830,000, has been broken by the elements. The news of the next few days, it is thought, will show still greater loss. From Tacoma the schooner Nora Harkins is reported wrecked at the entrance to Gray’s harbor. One seaman was drowned. Reports were also received here of the wreck of the schooner Portia at Stewart’s Point. Her bottom was knocked out on the rocks and her crew narrowly escaped with their lives. It is also reported that the schooner Elfreta was driven on the rocks near Cambria, on the San Luis Obispo county coast. A few minutes after the crew left her she broke in two and went down. The American ship Ivanhoe, coal laden, from Seattle for this port, which has been out for twenty-one days, is almost certainly lost. Capt. C. E. Griffin commanded her, and she carried a crew of eighteen men. Fred Grant, one of the proprietors of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and ex-minister to Bolivia, was a passenger on the Ivanhoe, having embarked on her to enjoy the novelty of a sea voyage. A mast and yards painted yellow and believed by seamen to be part of the riggings of the Ivanhoe have been sighted off the Oregon coast. A floating deck house painted as was the Ivanhoe’s was also seen in the locality.

POLITICS CAUSES A FAILURE.

Merced Bank of California Closes Its Doors Cannot Realize on Its Assets. Merced, Cal., Oct. 17.—The Merced bank, which has been doing business since 1875, closed its doors Tuesday morning. The failure is due to the bank’s inability to realize on its securities. As? yet no statement has been made, but it is known that the bank had $200,000 loaned to merchants and ranchers of this community on which it could not realize. The bank’s statement to the state bank commission in July last gave the reserve as $243,029. The bank’s liabilities at that time were: Capital paid in coin, $48,000; due depositors, $160,637; due other banks, $25,000. The d rectors of tne bank are all substantial business men. It is believed the depositors will be paid in full and that the failure will have no disastrous effect upon the business of the community. While the failure is undoubtedly due to the general financial stringency the immediate cause of the suspension is said to be of a political nature. For years it has been customary for the county treasurer to place the county funds in deposit with the three banks of Merced. County Treasurer Bartlett was defeated for renomination in the recent democratic county convention, and, attributing his defeat to the interference of the officials of the Merced bank, he demanded the county funds deposited with the bank. Part of this money was paid to him. Other depositors learning of the action of the treasurer withdrew their deposits. Thus it was that a run was started which the bank could not meet.

A CLASH ON THE BENCH.

Nebraska Judge* at Loggerhead* Over the Rosewater Case. Omaha, Neb., Oct 17. Probably the most remarkable instance of the clash of judicial authorities in the history of American jurisprudence occurred in Omaha Tuesday when the criminal branch of the district court . presided over by C. R. Scott | was ordered by the other five judges of the district, sitting as i a court, to transfer to their docket the case in which Editor Rosewater of the Bee is accused of libel by the wife of ex-Sheriff Bennett. This was the result of a motion by Mr. Rosewater before the five judges to have some other judge preside at the trial since he regarded the prejudice of Judge Scott as a bar to a fair trial before him. When the court clerk handed Judge Scott the order of the five judges to transfer the case there was a scene. Court business was suspended and hundreds of people flocked into the room to hear the fracas. In a manner indicative of half-suppressed passion Judge Scott said: “We have now met at the cross-roads and I do not propose to take either side, but instead, I am going to tread right in the middle of the road. Here I am, an American citizen 62 years of age, and stand upon a broad gauge platform that will permit me to give every man a fair and impartial trial. If I did not want to give Rosewater a fair trial the motion might be excused. There is no law to take this case off my docket, and it will stay there. If there is any monkeying about it some one is going to be cited to appear for contempt, and I think I am pretty good authority on contempt.” The last portion of the remark brought out a muffled round of applause, since Scott has arrested during his term dozens of prominent citizens for alleged contempt. Continuing the judge added, as he brought his fist down upon the desk with a thud: “Edward Rosewater will be tried in this court if I live, and I will live if they don’t kill me. I was elected to perform my duties ' and I propose to stand by the people and the law. I don’t propose to send this case out to three judges, as was done in the Bemis impeachment case, and then have them find nothing. I fear no power but the power of the people and God. and lam not going to stand any shilly-shallying either. I have asked two judges outside of this district to come here and hear the case.” This ended the seance and the crowd dispersed. Tuesday afternoon Judges Hopewell, Ambrose, Blair. Keyser and Ferguson ascended to the bench for the purpose of sitting in banc to determine if the Bennett case should be removed from Judge Scott’s docket. Afi soon as the court was called to order Mr. Simeral, one of the attorneys for Rosewater, said he had intended to have the files of the case before the court, but he had been informed by Clerk Moores that Judge Scott had issued an order that they should not be removed from his office. The judges ordered the clerk to produce the papers in the case at 9 a. m. to-day and cited Mr. Rosewater to be present for trial. When Scott heard this he at once entered in his journal a decree nullifying the order of the five judges and cited Rosewater to appear in his court at 9a. m. to-day for trial. He further instructed the clerk that if he attempted to carry the papers in the case from his courtroom he would have him jailed for contempt.

Washington, Oct. 17.—The attention of Attorney General Olney has been called to a statement in a telegram from Vinton, la., to the effect that United States Attorney Sells has been instructed to cancel his compaign engagements. Mr. Olney said that Mr. Sells had written him on the subject of his taking an active part in the campaign, and in reply the following letter had been sent him: “It is contrary to the rules of this department —uniformly laid down in every case in which application has been made—that district attorneys should participate in political campaign work.” It is said at the department of justice that substantially the same replies had been sent to a number of district attorneys from all sections of the country who had written making inquiry on the subject and that the rule stated by Mr. Olney was an old oue from which there had been no deviation in the replies sent in answer to inquiries on the subject
