THE END

Tlie Order for Building a New Court House Rescinded—Action of tlie Commissioners.

Yesterday afternoon the County Commissioners met at the Court room and took into consideration the matter of rescinding the order for building a new Court House. The Board decided in favor of rescinding, Messrs. Balding and Weeks votiugbiti favor, and Mr. Blake against it. "The following is the revoking order as passed by the Board

WHEREAS, An order for the building of a Court House and Jail was matie by this Board of Commissioners on the 2d day of December, 1872 and

WHEREAS, A contract was entered into with Thomas B. Snapp on Monday, the 2d day of December, 1872, for the erection of said Court House and Jail, and on order of-this Board of Commissioners was ad pted on the same day and date, approvine and confirming the same and

WHEREAS, *It has since been made maniiest that said contract did not cover all the costs of a finished structure, but only a partial estimate of such costs, namely,': "The covering in" of said proposed Court House and jail aud whereas, there has been a very manifest disapproval of said contract by the citizens of Vigo county, amounting to an almost unanimous voice against its erectiou at this time, and for many years to come, owing to other

enormous

taxes heretofore levied

and whereas, this Board, as the ageuts and servants of the peopfe of Vigo county, have no desire to.ineur public debts against the wishes and judguent of the people, who have to pay such taxes, it is therefore

Ordered, That the.order of this Board for the building of said Court House anil jail, adopted at the Hate of December 2d, 1S72, and all orders and proceedings approving of a contract with Thomas B. Snapp for building and "covering in" said proposed Court House and structure: and all pay and compeusatiou promised to J. A. Vrydagh, the architect who made

the plan for said proposed Court House, and all and every order in reference to said proposed building, and the proposed compensation of the said J. A. Vrydagh, be and the «re hereby annulled, revoked and set aside by a vote of this Board of Commissioners.

Ordered, That Samuel Royee, Auditor, be instructed to furnish a certified copy of the above proceedings, adopted in open session at this date, to Thomas B. Snapp and J. A. Vrydagh.

Corrections.

Editors Evening Gazette: In my article, published yesterday, there occurs a few typographical errors. In the fourth paragraph it should be the houor" instead of the power of God." In speaking of the boys, neither Mr. Howe or I used the word mean." I quoted from Mr. Howe's article. In one other place the word proceed" is used for preach." P."

Mr. Wm. Patrick vs. the Chicago Tribune. Editors Evening Gazette: I see you copy an article from the Chicago Tribune, reflecting on the stockholders of agricultural societies, as follows

A stockholder in the Fair might drive his whole herd of cattle into the grounds, and every animal, from the six-montlis-old ealfto the most antiquted anddried-up cow, would be sure of a prize while the farmer without any speculative interest in the exhibition may show the handsomest yoke of matched oxen in the State, and go away without an official token of encouragement. But fortunately for our agricultural interests, the public are learning to put more confidence in the judgment of impartial and experienced agricultural reporters than in the awards of stockholding committees.

Now Messrs. E1 tore, there may be some truth in this, in Illinois, but we think it a slander on the stockholders of societies in this State. Yet in your transferring it to your columns without comment, a reader would infer that such were the facta in this locality. I certainly don't know what cause you have for thinking so, I believe it is the'general rule of the Board uot to make up the committees from the stockholders. I have been a regular attendant on fairs for several years, in different parts of the country, and with the exception of a very few isolated cases, has anything transpired under my observation which anyone could justly construe so as to bring it under the head of the accusation you make. Under your inference the stockholders of the Vigo Agricultural Society must be a very dishonest set of men. Yet I believe they are" composed of the best farmers and the most prominent and energetic business men in the county. Now, Messrs. Editors, if there was a shadow of such being the facts of the case here, we think you take a very injudicious way of trying to improve it, or to encourage the farmers to take an interest in our agricultural fairs, and with their assistance and influence prevent any such transactions as you infer.

As to the assertion that the reporters are to be believed and their judgment relied on in preference -to committees made up of men who are used to handling stock, we would beg leave to differ. Further, a reporter is usually paid for all the reports, arid how easy is it for an exhibitor to hand him a few dollars to write up an article on his stock. This is your paid committeeman, who can make a good report on most anything on exhibition, and be honest in it and earn his wages. Now, sir, we don't reflect on the reporters, as they are very necessary and essential, yet we would prefer the judgment of the unpaid committee.

The undersigned happens to be a member of the Board of the Bridgeton Union Agricultural Society, composed of five counties in this district, Vigo, Clay, Putnam, Parke and Vermillion. I would state that we make it a rule to appoint no committeeman who is in any way interested with the exhibitor, and never appoint a neighbor of the exhibitor, and it we do so through mistake, we don't hesitate to call the committeeman out of the ring, and replace him with some one who.is a stranger to the exhibitor. And in any case where one of the Board is an exhibitor that member makes it a rule to leave the room while a committee is being made up to judge his articles. By so doing we have seldom had any complaints from the exhibitors. We were an exhibitor at our last fair with several entries, and received the whole of one premium—one dollar—about all we were deserving of., The President of the Board, a heavy stockholder, had teveral entries and received one premium of three dollars. As a rule, the stockholders have generally received the fewer favors, according to the amount of their eutries, so far as our observations have gone.

From New York City. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—At 11:30 o'clock last night a fire commenced in the upper story of Fifth Avenue Hotel on Twentythird street side. The firemen were quickly on the spot and soon pouring streams of water on the flames, which by l£ o'clock enveloped the whole of Twen-ty-third street side. Hose was attached to various pipes inside the hotel, thus assisting those OB the outside. Many of the guests had retired or were about retiring when the fire alarm sounded, .but it was not until the firemen brought"the hose into the hotel that any alarm was created. Then eusued a panic among the guests, who rushed for their trunks aud valuables and made for the door. The female domestics were Considerably alarmed.

The fire was first discovered by the occupant of room No. 23, who, on entering the hall-way, observed the smoke issuing fr&m the door leading to a small room near his own. He opened the door, and the immense mass of smoke and flame met him. He cried "Fire," and the hall were instantly tilled with men. The scene now was one of the greatest excitement. The employers of the hotel procured buckets of water and threw them into the fire. The firemen soon got to the property to work, but not before the fire had ascended to the sixth story, and it was spreading along the roof. After workiug manfully sometime, the fire was confined to awing in which in which it originated.

At midnight it seemed as if the entire west wing would go. On the fourth, fifth, aud sixth floors a large number of rooms were bajjly damaged the dining room was greatly damaged. The loss ca"not be estimated at present, but it is believed that there is about one hundred thousand dollars loss on the building and about twelve thousand to fifteen thousand dollars loss entirely covered by insurance. Among the prominent guests were Generals Porter aud Burnide, Mr. Pullman, and others. During the confusion attending the fire many of the women fainted. The hallway was filled with screaming guests. Many of the ladies were taken to the Albemarle, St. James, Glenham and Hoffman hotels, and other places in the vicinity.

After the fire was extinguished, the firemen commenced the examination of the top floor, and made a horrible discovery, that in one of the servant's rooms, sixteen servants, men and women, had been burned to death. The bodies were all horribly disfigured, and the positions in which they were found, is believed that they had been overcome by the inteuse smoke and heat, while eudeavoring to escape. Six other charred corpses were found in another room adjoining. These are probably all the victims. At 2:30 A. M. the fire was subdued.

The dead were taken to the morgue. Warder Brennan bad three ambulances upon the ground, taking bodies to Belleview Hospital. Margaret Fagin, aged 30 years, was so badly burned about the head and body that little hopes are entertained of her recovery. She was taken to Belleview Hospital. Mary Jane Healey was badly scalded in the face. A fireman, named Finn, was badly hurt by falling through a skylight. On examination, it was discovered that the fire originated in the elevator, or staircase leading to the laundry on the top floor how it originated could not be discovered.'

The principal damage is from water. Tbe hotel was owned by Amos R. Eno. The progress of the fire was regarded with anxious solicitude by an immense crowd ot spectators who had assembled in the streets near the burning building.

The agents for tbe missing steamship Scandenavia reported last night that no news of the vessel had reached them. They think the vessel has foundered and went down with all hands.

The match is to come off in New York, at any time within four to six weeks after signing the article.
