A HEARTRENDING SCENE. A Midnight Fire That Results in Ter rible Loss of Life and Property. Indianapolis, Ink , [Special.]? One of the most horrible midnight fires that has ever occurred in this city, smarted in an old annex of the Indiana Surgical In stitute in the night at 12.30 o'clock. There was a smafrk space between the main buiiding -and the annex which served as a flue for the stiff breeze that fed the angry flames.

The rrie* of the crippled and helpless were heml from all sides By this time the main building had caught fire and thee flames were gradually laeping over to where the inmates were. Their cries became more pitiful as the flames leaped higher and would brush their faces as they would pass from window to win dow looking in vain for somfc way to es cape -iwrtilers were raised and ropes were swung out in time to save most of the r>^j who dwelt within.

The scene around the institute judeod heartrending and beyond description tlodies burned to a crisp are being taken out without the slightest hope of recognition. HISTORY OF A RAILROAD. Philadelphia Uuiltit and Norfolk Cap tured it and Will Utilize it. Philadelphia, Pa ? It is reported on good authority that the Norfolk and Western Railroad has leased the Lynch burg and Durham and that the litter I would soon be operated by the Norfelk a^d Western. The terms of the lease could not be learned, but it was stated that the deal was practically concluded. The Lynchburg and Durham Railroad is Jjmjjcly the result of Philadelphia enter t<wtse It is 114 miles long and extends from Lynchburg, Va., to Durham, N. C. It was chartered February 12, 1SS6, and was completed September 18, 1890. A number of the stockholders are Philadel phia^. The president is W. C. Hous ton, of this city. The road runs through a flourishing country, and will, uo doubt, form a valuable feeder of the Norfolk and Western Railroad. The latter will reach it by building a connection of about one mile at Lynchburg. Mrs, 4 'Stonewall" Jackson, Richmond, Va.? Mrs. "Stonewall" Jackson, who i? reported to be seriously i indisposed, arrived in the city yesterday ,aud went at once to St. Luke's hospital, where she will be treated by Dr. Hunter McGuire.

He Wants to Stop' All belling ia Futures and a Bill to Check it is Introduced in Congress. _____ \ Washington, D. C. ? Representative S. B. Alexander (late president of the >$. C^Xaraiers1 Alliance) introduced in tfoe ""House aN^ill relating to "gambling in agricultural products." This gambling, according to the bill, is defined to be. a contract to sel) for future delivery corn, wheat, cats, rye. barley, etc., the con tractor or seller not being the owner or agent of the owner a* the time of the j making of the contract.. \ The bill excludes frcin the "mails an* letters, postal cards or circulars concern iug gambling in agricultural products, knd checks, drafts, bills and money or ders for use for such purpose. It also excludes from the mails, news papers, circulars, pamphlets or publica tion of any kind containing advertise ments, telegraphic reports or other arti cles giving quotations of any market re latiog to gambling in agricultural pro ducts. c A. tax of $2 per word is levied on cacb interstate telegraph or telephone message used in the act of gambling referred to ; in the act. It is estimated that caih y ar the cot ton exchange sells five times the total value of the cot'on crop, and on the pe troleum exchange the amount so id in a single year has equaled tilty times the to tal output. With such reck 1. *s gambling | in the products of toil, what can supply and demand have to do with the p:ice the nroducer receives? .N ****** SIMPSON AN 0 Til E THIRD PARTY. A Southern member of Congress who ir? the past has l>een quite prominent in the Farmers' Alliance is not apparently fa vorably impressed with the Alliance members from Kansas. In eonvcisa ion with a correspondent this member sai i : "These Northern Alliance men have no sort of comprehension of the negro ques tion and of its impoitance in < ur section. They look upon the vote of a negro as of as much va'ue as that of a white man In fact their notion is that the only dif ference is the color; that its just the dif ference between a white horse t=nd a black one." M It. SIMPSON TALKS. Your correspondent uiet Hon. Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, soon titer the con I ver-ation aboye quoted. "Our party," he said, "regards ffic negro as a man entitled to all the r'ghts and privileges of any other citizen. We think he makes a mistake in adhering to the Republ can party blindly as a sort of traditionary obligation. We think UeN should be governed in poli ical action by his convictions and int rest and not by predjudice. and tint his interests would be test promoted by uniting with our party. We shall apjieal to the negro for his support on the ground of sound rea son, as I've said, in behalf of the promo tion of his owu inteiests " . "But will you seek to obtain thi negro vote in any manner tending to consoli date against the whites?" asked your cor respondent. "We shall app at to whites and blacks for support, and shall n??t, of course, re ject lecruits from either. We hope to obtain support from both laces, but Jif we can divide the negro vote we believe that would open the way to breaking the solid South." ****** Capt. S. B. Alexander has also intro duced the following bill: Be it enactcd hy the Senate and IJoui-c oj Representatives of the United States oj America in Congress assembled, That the Postal aster-General is authorized and di rectetl to have prepared suitable stamps of the denomination of Gve cents, ter. j--.cents, twenty-five cents, fifty ccntr, one i dollar, and three dollars, and said stamp > shall be known as "redeemable stamps." Sec. 2. That the Postmastcr-Geuerni shall cause the said "redeemable stamps" to be kept for sale at all postoffices of the United States, and shall have them redeemed at <-.11 money oider poitoftices. and not more than one cent shall be > charged as premium for endh fraction of a dollar or each dollar's wotlli of stamus sold. Sec. 3. That the redeemable stamps* ; .authorized by this act shall be deemod money of the United States, and all lnws relating to counterfeiting the money of the United States shall apply to th*m. Skc ..4. Tint the Postmaster- General shall prescribe all rui s and regulations necessary to tarry out the provisions of this act. Sec. 5 That o:.e million dollars, or somuchthcrti as may be necessary, it hereby appropriated out of any money in | the United States Treasury not other ?wise appropriated, to carry ^ut the pro visions of this act. \ * * , I DEATH OF JUSTICE BRADLEY.

THE S]GNS OF THE TIMES (? -U 4 Indicate Increased Investments of Capital in the South. The Manufacturers' Record, of Balti more, January 23. in reviewing the in dustrial progress of the South, says: /The general indications all point to increased investments4 of outside capital in the South. This is illustrated by the heavy investments reported in this week1! Manufacturers' Record. The North Ala bama Improvement Co., of Huntsville, Ala., has sold its entire property to the Northwestern Laud .Association, an or ganization composed largely of Dakota cipitalists. The property includes tho ,, large Huntsville Hotel, an extensive busi ness block, the Monte Saiio Hotel and r.bout 1,S00 acres of land, the aggregate value being said to be ever $6,000,000, a" though, of course, the price paid was nothing like so large as this. Anr'English * syndicate is now negotiating for the property of the New Jiome Land Co., it ixom % Ga. ; tlie Crawllsh Springs Land Co., which is buildiug a town near Chat tanooga, constructing a railroad and opening coal mines, has just raised $600, 000 in New York for proicutmg its work ; New England capitalists will prob ably soon close deals now pending for some very large investments at Chatta nooga; the American Association, Litni [ ted, of Middlesborough, has raised $750, 000 for continuing its work of develop ment, and the ne& president has arrived from England" toAakc charge of the com pany's operations; as announced last week, Mr. A. \J Arthur and his associates | have organized a $12,500,000 town and development company to operate in East ?

"ST^est Virginia, etc. These are signs of the times. They in dicate that mouey is again coming South j fur investment, and that the develop ! inent of the mineral and timber resources i of this section is in the near future to go on more rapidly than bef?*e. The low price of cott^fT may depress the business interests dependent upon that staple, but the iuvestraent of cap.tal in timber and mineral ptagerties by Northern and for eign capitkliits is going to be very heavy iu 1892. V Cleveland in the Sonth. Ex-President (Jrover Clavelaud is spending a few days afc Orange Island. New Iberia, La., the winter residence of Joe Jefferson, the actor. The plantation is beautifully situated in the Saddle Ris er. The house is one of the old manors, remodeled and luxuriously furnished by the Actor. Its conservatories abound in tr-.pical fruits bnJ flowers. Artificial ponds teem with trout and black bass. Lake Simonette near by affords the finest fishing, while one has to step but a few yards from Jeffe:.*son's fireside to find wild fowl in abundance. Luxuriant groves containing thousands of trees ef the mandarin and Brazilian varieties sur i roiind the house. Fully one huudred pecan and the same number of orange t eeB yield succulent crops yearly. In the pastures are the finest sp-.cimens of llolsteins, while in the stables are a num ber of the fleetest roadsters of the South The apartment of which Mr. Jefferson is proudest, and liu which he en tertains Mr. Clev^'and, is the Japanese r<v>m. It is of .marvellous beauty, and visitors come .from miles about to gaze upon the gorgeous furnishings. The ac tor is said to.have invited a number of distinguished Southerners at Orange laiaud. The "Way Out. Much has b:en said of the expediency of restricting the acreage the South put* in cotton, with 0 a view to a reduced crop and an increased price. A better idea, according to Admiral Am men, is to open f&'.-ili: ied via the Nicara gua Canal, for supplying Japan and China with cotton, and thus increase the demand for cotton at fair prices. The Japanese and Ch'ucse use vast quantities of cotton goods. They fie beginning to manufacture, ai:d if they get Southern cotton via the i>!.hmus at lower prices than they now pay they would go into the cot J ton manufacturing on a greatly increased j scale. At present they get it over the | Canadian Pacific Railway or via the Suez i Canal That is out of the way and ex I pensive. What is wanted is a direct | roule that would increase the Oriental | demand. "With -such a demand wrll de i veloped, the quest sou for the South would be not how to r.iise le?s cotton, Lut how to raise more. Negro>'uGges. 5 Two negroes have attained tc Judge ships in British colonies. One, Joseph Renner Maxwell, is ohi?f judicial officer at the Gambia, in .Africa, and oddly enough he has written a work upou the negro question iu which he speaks with apparent horror of the most striking out ward peculiarities of his rnce, and urges as the method of elevating the negro of the future " miscegenation with other < races. The other negro judge is Sir W. C. Reeves, Chief Justice of Barbadoes, in J the West Indies. He presides over the Supreme Court, and there are in the island seven police magistrates of euboidinate , jurisdiction. p Montt 'Amicable Assurance. New York Cm*.?

Tho New York Board of Trade at its annual! faceting Inst week adopted a r>so lutidiihorging Congress to include iu the iiver aud harbor bill an appropriation of $25,000 to be expended by a commission to i>c appointed by the governors of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania foi making of a preliminary survey for a ship *.anal between N.w Y^rk harbor and Delegare and Chesapeake bays. \e The completion of the proposed canal would be a long step towards the final consummation of the plan originally sug gested^ Robert tfu toiufor the creation of an inuer waterway from New York to Florida. Many links have been con structed of the chain of ship canals he proposed for connecting the bays and sounds of the Atlantic coast and forming a continuous system of safely navigable waters aud harbors jif rcftige from storms or Irom enemies it/time of war. While the propesed canal would be nf more Immediate benefit to New York aud Philadelphia than to the coast cities fur ther South, yet, as an important division 'of the greater scheme, it ought to be" looked upon as a national enterprise, and as such receive due considerati >n.- But whether or not it is entitled to the aid of the national government nt this time is another matter. The A lbematle & Chesa peake Caual, which connects the North Carolina sounds with tidewater in Vir ginia, was built many years since at the cost of those two States. It has served the purpose of its builders well, but to make it such a canal as Fulton's plan contemplated it would have to be widen ed and deepened, and its course, in some places exceedingly tortuous, straightened. This would cost a great deal' of money, which would, of course, be furnished by 1 1)2 general government, if eventually it should be determined to construct ihis system of bchiud-tlie-coast -waterways Sh uld the government ever enter upon J his great work for the national defence, and for the protection of American corttv^ merce. it would probably be found neces sary to build the canal that the New York r md Philadclph a merchants have under consideration. Meanwhile, if the people of the populous and wealthy States of New York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania or the merchants of New York and Phila delphia, believe this canal to be !in im mediate necessity, let them follow the example set by Virginia and North Caro lina, and build it at their own cost. If they are unwilling for any reason to do this, then let them take measures to unite all the Atlantic seaboard States in favor of ihc great public work outlined by Ful ton, but enlarged to mee*4he present and prospective requifiafrehTB of American commerce."' J u.. , Congress lias never fiilcd to respond favorably to requests from States i'or the services of ai my engineer officers, and would unquestionably consent to have I some of the corps detailed to make this preliminary survey. But it is uuseemlv, to^iy the leis\ for those three States' to ask that body for the pitiful sum of $25,000, to Ik- expended by their own commissioners in asceitaining whethvr the scheme thev propose is practicable New York and Philadelphia ^merchants, if they wish the survey made by a board < f; interstate commissioners/ought to pay all expenses.?

The precious and rare stones of Noath Carolina, although constituting but a moiety of the State's mineral wealth, have been unearthed in such variety and under such conditions as to lead 10 the belief in the minds of many that sooner or later they will be lbund iu abundance in nature's as yet hidden storehouse.
