A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE

f Tlie Old Orphnu Asylum Building Burned. Last Saturday night, ten o’clock, some'men Beeping in the main building of the old Catholic Orphan Asylum, south west of town, discovered that the bnildiug was on fire, being awakened by the crackling of the flames. When discovered the fire was confined to the building used as a wash house, but had made too much headway to be extinguished by any means at the disposal of the 7or 8 men who slept in that and adjoining buildings. The alarm was given by ringing the bell at the place and a little later the fire alarm in town was sounded and a portion of the fire company went over the Scene of the fire with the hook and,ladder truck. A good many ©itizens of the town also repaired to the place, but all arrived to late too save the building, but the fire company and citizens did good work in saving the adjoining church, school house and out buildings from destruction. j The fire originated iu an old cracked stove, which was used to heat water for washing. The sisters connected with the Indian school had used the stove during the day, and supposed that when they left in the evening that the fire in the stove was all out, but in this they were doubtless mistaken. The sisters slept in the new Indian School building, but had moved only a portion of their effect s there, and all their good clothing was destroyed iu the burned building. In addition to to this clothing many housekeeping effects were burned; including several good washing machines and also a number of sewing machines. The loss on the building and contents will probably be from, $1,500 to $2,000. It is thought that the insurance had all expired, although no-one knows for certain, except the bishop, in, whose name the property was held. The main part of the buildiug destroyed was .an old land-mark, being the old George Spitler homestead, erected thirty years or more, ago. A few days before the fire Father Willard had received notice that next week a father and two brothers of the Order of the Precious Blood, would occupy the building as a residence, while they arranged for the erection of a building to accommodate the college to be established here, by that organization. The Indian boys were keptjeonfined to their own building, daring the fire, as, owing to their excitable temperaments it was not thought prudent to let them be present at the fire. ■

Governor Gray in Rensselaer.

Got, Gray made a. Democratic speech, iu the public square, Thursday afternoon, as per previous announcement. His speech was listened to by considerable of a crowd, but very much smaller, however, than might reasonably have been expected, from the prpminence of the speaker, his high official and political position, and his still higher aspirations, and the energetic manner in which he had been advertised. .believe we are Btrictly withinj the bounds of truth in saying that, at the utmost, not more than 80D people were within reach of the Governor’s. raelQdious voice at any time. As a political demonstration, candor compels us to admjt that the affair was a melanchpllv fizzle. The procession which met the governor at the deppt and escorted him down town was a fair illustration of the whole affair. It consisted of two /.carriages, in one of which the governor rode, one other conveyance, and the brass band, hired for the occasion. The “spontaneous opjbpouring” of the people, did npt materialize, and there was no sign of any feeling of enthusiasm among those of the democratic persuasion who turned out to the meeting. The only cheering for Cleveland and “tariff reform” heard during the day was did in the evening, by a a couple of citizens who had too liberally revived their dropping democracy with the customary cordial. The governor is a slick citizen who is ip politics for what there is in it for Isaac P- Gray, and his speech was as thoroughly demogogic, unfair and deceitful as the keait of man can conceive.

A MURDER AT WINAMAC.

A cold-blooded murder was committed at Winamac, last Thursday. Joseph W. Robinson, of Franceeville, was shot in the head and almost instantly killed by Mike Rinehart, a barber of Winamac. The deed was committed in a saloon, while Jtobinson was in the act of lighting a cigar. The two men had a quarrel during the day, but at the time Robinsou had just asked Rinehart to take something, and make up the quarrel. Rinehart was arrested a short time after the shooting. He had been drinking heavily f<?r some time past. RobinsoD, the murdered man, was 27 years old, and leaves a wife and three children. He but lately settled iu, FraDcesville, and was a half brother of J. J. Robinson, th© gas well borer, aud associated' with him in the business.
