— A 1 lot September.
Indianapolis, In 1., Sept. 10. At ff
o'clock this morning a ti .-e broke out
on tlie thir l floor of the live-story
stone und brick building occupied by
Eastman. Schleicher Co. oa the > ith
side of Washington street, between
Meridian and Pennsylvania streets, and
the entire fire department was sum-
moned. Notwithstanding hard fighting,
the flames so >n sprea d to the four
story stone building of the Indiana
national bank, immediately e.i.it. Thin
was soon at the mercy of the ll-itues,
which continued to spread and so ti
the entire northwest corner of the
'square was in llamas. The Western
Union building in the rear an i front-
ing on South Meridian street soon
caught fire. This building is of brick
and five stories high. The upper floor,
-used as the battery room, and the next
floor below, used as the operating
room, were soon flooded with water
and all wires were burned off, cutting
off communication with other cities.
The furniture an i china store of
Eastman, Schleicher & Lee was
one of the largest in the country, l'ho
entire building and stock were totally
destroyed, an i only the walls remain
standing. The Indiana bank building
is completely wrecked. The banking
room had recently been remodeled at a
cost of $<>(>,00). th.' four story brick
occupied by the i'aedie express and
United Sta.es Expre companies, the
three story brick building occupied by
George Man field, clothing merchant,
nnd George Wingerter, tobacco dealer,
were badly damaged.
The great vault in the Indiana
national bank, situated in the rear of
the building and fronting on Pearl
street, contains nearly $'j,000,(kk) in
cash. The flames destroyed every-
thing around it, but the money is be-
lieved to be safe.
Across the alley from the burning
quarters on Washington street stands
the six-story Pettis dry goods building,
built of stone and brick. The smoke
penetrated this and the window sills
caught fire. Water was turned on and
the upper floor soon flooded. The wa-
ter soaked clear through to the base-
ment and the loss will be great.
a Tornado i 1 Michigan.
Detroit, Mich., s>pt. 19.—Specials
report that a tornado passed over a por-
tion of the state last night. At Charle-
voix a house was demolished and fences,
trees and outhouses scattered promis-
cuously in the path of the wind,
which covered but a small area. No
one was hurt. Port Austin reports
the heaviest storm ever known
there. Considerable damage was done
to buildin gs, and three lives are said
to have been lost by the collapse of
a house in Hume township. at San 1
Beach nearly every building was more
or less damaged, two houses and twelve
barns being entirely destroyed. Near
Kinde two children of Richard Tott
were killed by falling timbers nnd
three others injured.
A llot September.
St. Louis, Sept. 19.—In spite of the
constant prediction of the weather bu-
reau that cooler weather is due for
this locality, the mercury lias hng.a'd
the century mark each day so far this
month. The records show the present
month to be the hottest September in
the history of the local signal service.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 19.— At
early dawn the tens of thousands of
people in this region, native and vis-
itors. began to prepare for the first of
the battlefield festivities, and by sun-
rise hundreds were on the streets,
while before 8 o'clock every thorough-
fare in the city was thronged.
Some of the conservatives say that
there are not over 50,000 strangers
here, but others place the number at
100,000 or m< re. The people began to
move towards < iiickamauga early, un-
til trains an 1 electric cars were
jammed, but there were no blockades.
The first event of the day was the
dedication of the Michigan state mon-
uments at '-ii.) brass hill,.a point at
which there was probably more hard
fight-in j" (latin : the battle than on
any part o: tae *.ield. Gov. John T.
Kich, with hi tail' ;wid tho members
of the n.t. i commission, arrived at
the hill a f w minutes after 9 o'clock.

and i ol. i. n. Walker, commander-in*
chief of the g. a. u., spoke. The ex-
ercises were concluded with a salute
fired by the regiments of the Indiana
militia that were present.
Deadly Disease* at Hume, Mo.
lit mk, Mo., Sept. 19.—The public
schools here were eloscd this week on
account of the prevalence of diphtheria.
A number of cases of typhoid fever are
also reported. Other fevers are more
common than usual already, and with
the decay of vegetation other diseases
may be developed unless the sanitary
oflieers give the town a general clean*
in gup.
Deport Unfounded.
Hkiu.in, Sept. 19.—The rumor which
was in circulation here that a North
German Lloyd steamship had been
sunk with 150 persons on board has
been proven to be unfounded.

Nivapa, Mo., Sept. 19.—The 7-year-

WILD RKtY ON SYMPATHY.
Attorneys for Dr. Frakcr Will Make Na
l.ffort to Ciet Itond.
Richmond, Mo., Sept. 19.- Dr. g. W.
Frakcr will remain in jail tit Rich-
mond until he has been indicted by
the Kay county grand jury, without
making an effort to furnish the $-0,
000 bond required by Justice McCuis*
tion, Fraltcr's attorneys, at the last
moment, having made a show
of light, waived preliminary examina-
tion and let the prosecuting attorney
fix the amount of bond to be re-
quired, rather than allow tho state's
attorneys to tell the story of the at-
tempted swindle in tho crowded court
room. Fraker's defense is managed in
a shrewd, diplomatic way with but
one end in view—to build up such a
sentiment in his favor in the county
that any jury which can be summonet)
j will at least feel kindly toward him.
The prosecution cannot take a changi
of venue, and, if indicted, Frakcr tnusl
be tried in Ray county.

ance; that the entire northern section

sition, although the Spaui.ir i have be-
tween 7,000 an i 8,0')!) sol-lier.s at this
point, and two men-of- war at the har-
bor. As soon as the rebels found them-

at once began to harass Gibara, and
the commander of the fort was expect-
ing an open attack at any moment.
