It is a proposition which will go un questioned that the Term Haute fire department with the shadow of a chance in its favor can cope with a conflagration that would paralyse the energies of the fire service of many larger cities, but last night our firemen were suddenlly called upon to handle afire that, perforce of the delay in sending in the alarm, proved to be, in character, only second to the burning of the state Normal school, by reason of the difference in property loss. At about 9:15 o'clock Hoeeman John McClelland, on watch at the Fonr's house, was quietly aeated at a table entertaining himself with a cards, when the door of the engine room buret open and an excited individual, who appeared to have lost his first and not recovered his second wind, rushed in and hysterically called Mac's attention to the front windows. Immediately McClelland took in the situation at a glance. The flsmoH and ttuioke front a btg fire, neor at hand, were pouring up into apace in prodtgeoas volume. With but a mere glauct) the fireman pulled ihe house box nntl by the time the first round was in both chemical and hose companies were out of the honse and on their way to the flre. A like prompt responee was made by the balance of the companies in the district and immediately following the arrival of Chief Jones he caused a second alarm from box 64 to be turned in calling out the entire department.

A RAGING FURNACE OF FLAMES. Th« Firemen Meet a Ktnbborn Keaiatanee With Heroic Kftort.

Upon tue arrival of the department, it wss easily discernabie that the great mill structure was doomed to destruction. "Turn the whole blamed Wabaeh in on that blaze and it will do no good," was the suggestive and altogether correct remark of a fireman. The actual source or starting point of the fire conld not be determined as, when discovered, the cribs and sheds on the south, as well ss the elevator and storage floors north, were found to be, throughout, wrapped in seathing, roaring flames, Which were rapidly spreading to other portions of the buildings, and, indeed, bad almost envelloped the entire interior surfaces of the structure when the department commenced their general assault. The heavy machinery heated to a white heat expanded and broke as the cold streams were poured in on it and cracked with explosions so sharp and startling that the crowds of enrious lookers on in places gave way and beat hasty retreats. The heat for fifty feet awsy irom the burning structure »»aa as blistering and overpowering as the hot blast from open furnaces. When the roofing surrounding the elevator fell in, the flames found a new vent and the hes* became so intense as to be painfully perceptible 100 or more feet awav from the fire and the air became Ailed with qurning ember», ear com, husks, bits of Umber, etc., which fell upon the neads of the great crowds and caused a general scattering, The work of the fire department, in the fsoe of desperate disadvantage, wsa superb throughout and adds another big plume to the already well decorated cap of Terw Haute's fire boys. Repeatedly John F. Boedel's large building corner First and Ohio as well as the Mayer house, opooaite on First atreet* were fired several timo but streams of water were turned on the build* inga, and they were saved from serious damage. From the topmost rung of the aerialladder a heavy stream from an engine was poured in on the row of the Mayer honse and to this can be attributed the salvation of the historic old structure. The furniture and other^ personal roperty in Samuel Ix^'s residence adenine the south aide of the mill on irat street wa* sll removed, as were the two horeea, bu|$y, cart, harness, ets., belonging to btas Loe Wand quartered in the stable to the rear of the Miller residence. In removing the horses. Clay Jaycox was badly burned about the face, hands and arms.

cry HOT greatly

depreciated in value. Ths same may be said of all tbe general working facilities of the plant. The poor location of the place has always been a detriment to the value of the property and all these facta have combined to renderthe depreciation of its value to a minimum, rapid and cer tain. The highest value placed upon it up to date has been not over $30,000 and the mortgagees, who have bad the ownership of the plant, would bavp willingly taken $20,000 for their interests.

On Mr. Williams' portion of the property there is an insaranco of $1,500, with $f,300 on the balance owned by the bank aggregating a total insurance of $9,300. The only loss to these mortgagees is vested in th« foreclosure oi their mortgages and is covered by th*Tlhstlrance.

At 1:15 o'clock a. in., April 2nd, 18S8, tbe department was called by alarms from boxes 6 and 9, to tbe same mill which was partially destroyed then with a loss adjusted by tbe insurance cornpanics of $14,751) and covered by an inan ranee of $34,000. Tbe milfthen contained an immense quantity of ear corn and corn product which in its damaged condition was sold to the Terrs Haute distilling company for conversion into whisky.

AT THE RUINS THIS MORNING. A Presentation «r H«ar»ed Crumbling Walls and Sinottlderluar Wreck.

Two companies remained and worked at the fire until 4 o'clock this morning, and at an early forenoon hour the Four's company with their apparatus were ordered to the scene, laid out hose and have been playing on those portions of the wreckage still burning. The aerial truck company have a been at work the greater portioh the day, tearing down the standing walls whioh, of necessity were left in a very dangerous condition. The distraction of the old plant hss been complete. Not one dollar's worth of tbe propertv has been saved. Much of the material, indeed, the greater portion, will be unfit for sale for building purposes, and the entire outfit of machinery, with the bare exception of the battery of boilers, is fit only for the scrap pile. Thus ends tbe life of a business enterprise which, at one time, was among the most Important of the great commercial industries of Terre Haute. The Newbart hominy mill will never again be known as a business factor of Terre Haute's great commercial progress.

They say that in the event of a general strike the seamen would be affected but little financially as seveutv percent ol them would be at sea, while the remainder, from 1,500 to 2,000 men would have to o© supported by the dockers unions, involving an expense of 7,500 pounds per week. The dockers, therefore, ordered the blockades raised and the seamen to return to work.

OnAti, Ont. Marcfc 5,—The hottest political contest 0tat the Dominion ever known is being waged al the polls today. Never in tho history of Canada has a bottle for accession to power been fouaht so determinedly as this one. It is a struggle of more importance to ths United States than any that has ever been fought either ia Great Britain or anv of her possessions or dependencies. For the first time sines the existence of the Dominion the people through the ballot-box are being5, offered to-day the opportunity of docU(ring what here after, -shall

country and the United States, liberals, headed by ex-Premier Laurier, have gone to the front with the principle of unrestricted reciprocity with tho United States inscribe^ upon their banners. To all intents and purposes the effect of the adoption of this principle would be to create a trade relation between Canada and the United States similar to that which iww exists between tbo states of the unio#^ The platform erf the tories, headed by Sir John Macdonald, is simply a continuation of that attitude nf commercial "belligerency toward the United States that the cowervatives have always manifested, All sorts of side issues hav# been dragged into the campaign. The liberals have been charged with divers offenses, of whioh disloyalty to their country and hatred of the queen have not been the worst. These charge® have been successfully refuted. The annexation cry has been made to do effective service for the tories, it being claimed that reciprocity was simply a stepping stone towards a union of the two halves of the continent. In tbe maritime provinces the campaign has been considerably imbittered by the partisan efforts of the priests in behalf of the tories and to such an extent has. this influence been exercised that it is said that several bishops have been disciplined by the papal college. i.\

Advices from all paf of the Dominion say that an immense vote is b«ing polled. No disorders have so far been reported. In Quebec, the battery of artillery is nnderanna in order to be prepared for service in case of possible trouble, The same precautions have been taken at other points in the Dominion.

From advices received up to 2 clock it is figured at the headquarters of the liberal agents that Laurier will be returned to power by a majority of twen-ty-five to thirty. Reports indicate that the conservatives are* losing heavily in the manufacturing cities of Ontario as well as the rural municipalities of that province and that tl^ere are overwhelmingly sweeping liberal gains in the QaebfiC^tflstrtt*! EaStm Ontario, -formerly a stronghold oftoryism, is piling up votes for the liberals. All these claims are contested by the conservatives, but they do not make any of their own. The probabilities arc that the figbt is a close one, and the chances decidedly in favor of the liberals. Only the counting of the ballots can determine the actual result

TORONTO, Ont., March 5.—Liberal agents here figure a majority for the liberals of twenty. The government supporters do not claim more than nine majority in the next house, Mtainst fortyone in the first session and fifty-one when the dissolution wss ordered a month ago. With such a majority, however, they cannot hold office for twenty-four hours.

KINGSTON, Ont., March 6.—This is the home of Sir John Macdonald and his opponents are moving heaven and eartti to defeat him in his own bailiwick. Their efforts in this regard are in strong contrast to the fact that the leader of the opposition. Hon. Mr. Laorier. was la# week returned without opposition. It not likely, however, that the defeat of Sir John will be encompassed. The latest advices indicate that Alderman Gunn liberal) to running ahead of Sir John

MbsTftKAi,, March 8.—The voting is proceeding finely hare. Up to this afternoon no violeaceiirti been reported from an part of the Deffiinion. The fight is, however, extren^ly bitter, and each side ili bringing out all available forces.

Bnt the Conncilman Came Very Xrnr it—A Trombone Kplaode. Sometime ago Orator Stoiz made a speech in council in which he sarcastically remarked that the city should buy the Ringgold band. Mr. Storz' desire for the complete demolition of tho band catne very near being accomplished on Tuesday night snd in a manner which was not highly satisfactory to himself although he was the principal actor in the scene. The councilman from the Sixth was out for a little snort and strolled into Germania hall where a private wedding reception was in progress. It was strictly an invitational affair and Mr. Store was not invited. Merchant Policeman Joe McChesney was on the door, and when Storz appeared and applied for admission he was asked for his invitation card. He had none, but thought that as a councilman he was entitled to admission. McChesney would not admit him, and he finally became obstreperous and wildly pneumatic. He was going in whether or no, and defied McChesney to lay hands on him. This order of things continued untU the good na tared Joe thought patience and virtu ft had long since parted company and seizing the lengthy councilman fired him downstairs bodily, and almost into the trombone which was being carried up into the hall by a member of the band. The orchestra was just entering the hall after the engagement at the opera and thus it was that Storz fate came so near being sealed. The trombone man had been exercising bard at the opera honse and was in fine condition to catch the councilman on the fly as he came through the air before be landed at the base of tbe top flight of stairs. 8tor*' physique would be a fine fit for the trombone, but in tha absence of the musical critique, and the writer not being fully conversant with the subject of musical instruments, iteannotbe said whether his presence in the trombone would injure its tecnique or interfere seriously with its musical properties. It can safely be imagined, however, that Store would have been reasonably comfortable as long as the slide was out, but ob ye gods! what if that horrid trombonist would pull the slide in.
