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. When the firemen
arrived at the scene of the conflagration,
the windows of the main building were
tilled with the inmates of the institute.
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 build
ing i; almost cempletely" consumed and
so far 20 bodiss have been dragged from
the ruinsAnd 30 moie are burned l>eyond
hope oficcovcrv. 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. There is nothing especially
alarming in the illness of Mrs. Jackson,
and under skillful treatment of the re

be fully restored.

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?

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

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.

AN ATLANTIC CANAL
An Inner Waterway From New York
To Florida.
Something That Would Stimulate
Commerce in the South
Wonderfully.
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

The precious and rare stones of Noath

"Iulanjjs dying in infancy, and all oth-"

and arc saved and regenerated by Christ
the sj: irit Who worketh when and where
and hrw he pieaseth. ? . So, also, are all
other elect persons wluiare not outward
ly called by the ministry of the Word."
No; change was made in section IV
save the striking out of the word "they"
in tb* third lvpe. No change was made
in chapters 13 and 16.
Tl*e seventh section of chapter 19 was
made to read as follows:
4,\ forks done by un regenerate "men,
although they may be things which God
comi lands and to good use both to \ lieai
