Inmates Safely Rescued-The
I.osa to the State Will Reach
6200,000.
Jackson, Miss., Feb. 17. The four
itarj main building of the state asylum
for the insane was set on hre about 5
'clock this morning by J. D. Brown, aa
inmate of , the institution Brown had
recently escaped and was only returned
yesterday. He stated to his attendant
that it would be all the worse for him
and them if he was again confined. His
threat was soon put into execution and
he himself, unable to escape from the
building was -bnmed to death, a victim
of his own insane. deed.
There were six hundred inmates in the
building, most of whom were asleep when
the flames were discovered. Through the
most superhuman exertions of Superin
tendent Mitchell, and bis subordinates,
all were saved and safely transferred to
wings disconnected Irom the burning
oile. Such a scene as the safe transfer
of six hundred more or less violent mani
acs from such a conflagration to a haven
of safety, without other light than that
from the flames of the burning building,
can be better imagined thaa described.
Alter perlorinuiK this extraordinary
feat, Superintendent Mitchell, just up
from a sick bed, staggered and fell under
the fearful ordeal through which he had
passed anl was conveyed to nis resi
dence. Assistant Noland Stewart, alter
heroic and successful endeavor, also
succumbed.
The building was of brick and had a
frontage of about five hundred feet. It
is situated about two miles Irom tne city
roper. I he loss to tne state is proua-
bly $200,000. There was no insurance.
CONGRESSIONAL, NEWS.
Llvlnirtttone Wanta to Express a
t nipatby for the Farmers,
Washington, Feb. 17. Immediately
after the reading of the journal
the senate today, Mr. Sherman,
from the committee on foreign rela
tions, reported back favorably the
joint resolution introduced by Mr. Per
kins, requesting the president to return
to the repubh: of Mexico tweaty-one
battle flags now in the museum of the
United States military academy, which
were captured by the army of the United
States during the late war with Mexico.
He said it was an act of courtesy to a
friendly power which had been suggested
to congress by the American minister to
Mexico, and also by Mr. Lurtis, a gen
tleman connected with the organization
of the bureau of American republics.
The committee on foreign relations
tboughtita generous andproperthingto
do, for a friendly nation. Mr. Cockrell
expressed his hearty approval of the
joint resolution, and it was thereupon
passed.
Mr. bnermaa also reported oaca ad
versely the resolution (offered by Mr.
Quay) requesting the committee on for-J
eign relations to inquire as to the prac
ticability of the acquisition of certain
portions of the republic of Mexico. In

of the senate concurrent resolution pro
viding for the investigation by the sen
ate and house committees on immigration
of the laws relative to immigration, and
the facts attending the admission ot ty
phus stricken Russians at New York.
Mr. Ueary, ot California, objected, ana
the resolution was referred.
Mr. Livingston of Georgia, asked unani
mous consent for the immediate consid
eration the following pre amble and res
olution:

THREE KNOCKED OUT.
James Corbett the Hlg;hly
Han
Prom California.
New York, Feb. 17. Ten thousand
people' saw the boxing match, if such it
may be termed, at Madison Square gar
den last night. There was a great
crowd, attracted by advertisements
hich for three weeks past have an
nounced that James Corbett, of Cali
fornia, would meet three men of his own
class.
Spilling, of Rochester, was the first
maa to meet Corbett. The men had
only been fighting two minutes when
Spilling was knocked down, only to
rise and be knocked down again.
Tom Chaffee, of Philadelphia, next ap
peared and put up his hands against
Corbett. Chaffee stood just fifty sec
onds when he fell to avoid punishment
and was clearly at the mercy of the Cal
ifornian. .
Then came James Lannon, of Provi
dence. R. I., the conqueror of Godfrev.
Before they shook hands, however, the
police ordered Corbett and Lannon to
put on six ounce gloves, and they had to
do so. In the first round Corbett, try
aa be would, could net reach, Lannon
with any force. The second round was
a repetition ot the first, Lannon fight
ing on the defensive, and Corbett being
unable to do much with him
He got in one heavy blow en Laanon's
jaw, but that was about all. in tne
third round Lor bet started in witb a
rush and forced Lannon all over the
ring. Lannon did what be could to de
fend himself, but he was practically
helpless, and when time was called and
the bout was over he was very groggy.

THE LYCCVH.
Church Creeds Discussed at
Last
Night's Meet I uk.
At the regular meeting of the Lyceum
last night, Vice-president Stevens in the
chair, the subject, "Tendency of church
creeds," was discussed.
Wm. Ward, the leading speaker, open
ed the discussion by an address of un
usual force in opposition to the binding
power of chureh creeds, such as have
legislated into the form and force of ec
clesiastic laws of human origin.
Maj. W. H. Malone followed, showing
the probable benefit of expression of
laith in the form of creeds, but condemn
ing the humanly devised creeds which
govern the minds and consciences of in
dividuals. Tilman K. Gaines spoke of the eenius
of the new dispensation inaugurated by
Jesus Christ, as against the creeds and
traditions ot the old dispensation, saying
that the founder of thcChristiau religion
made, as no tne prim iples oi civil liberty,
the individual above the creed and the
edicts ot church potentates. He main
tained that churches are not legislative
bodies. That in the Christian polity,
Christ is the only law-giver, and His
disciples are co-workers and obedient
followers.
T. W. Patton followed in a defense sf
individual liberty of thought and action,
defining the creed which is important as
one's own faith and right of practice,
Mai. 1 . l. westall made interesting re
marks sbowiug the origin, history and
failure of creed making.
H. a. btevens address was a defense of
creed, showing that as the various trib
utaries make up the grand Mississippi,
so the various church orders and creeds
unite in one broad river of blessing to
mankind.
W. T. Penniman advocated the
right and power on the part of reli
gious bodies to make their rules and
creeds to suit theirownideasot doctrines
and usefulness.
The subject chosen for next Tuesday
night is "Tariff against free trade;" uud
lor two weeks hence "The gospel ot
wealth" is the subject.

A Texas Bank President
Gets
Away With 300,000,
Dallas, Texas, February 17. Col. J.
B. Simpson, well known throughout the
south, und Texas especially, who has
been at the bead of a dozen business
firms in Dallas, is absent, and a number
of creditors and people who have been
dinted, are looking for him.
The grand jury, it is reported, have
tound several indictments against him
and the air is filled with rumors ot
crooked transactions, A rumor was cir
culated yesterday that he hud committed
suicide at Hot Springs, Arkansas, where
he had gone for his health, but it was
learned Irom one ot the largestcreditors
that Simpson was on the ocean en route
either to burope or south America,
Years ago prudent business men pre
dicted that Simpson was going too last
and would come to an abrupt end. His
career has been so glittering and his
crash so sudden and so complete that
his night is regarded as a mysterv, the so
lution of which is bound to implicate
him to sucb an extent as to exile him
from this country. It is estimated that
he got away with at least $300,000
in cool cash;

MURDER IN TENNESSEE.
A YOUNG If AN SHOT DOWN IN
A COWARDLY MANNER.
The If nrderer is Locked TJn. and
the Community Looks Upon His
Act aa the Host Cowardly Ever
Known 1st That County.
Gallatin, Tenn., Feb. 17. Wm. Car
ter, eldest son of John T. Carter, a well
known farmer and blooded horse dealer,
was shot about 4 o'clock last evening
and killed by Edward B. Turpin, a resi-
dent of this place.
Turpin called Carter a vile name, when
Carter walked toward him. As he
got within a few yards of Turpin, and
after a few words, the latter fired at him.
It is said the bullet passed throueh his
overcoat pocket where he had his revolv
er concealed, the ball plowing into the
pavement. Carter turned to escape
ben Turpin fired into bis back, and as
Carter ran shot him again in the back.
The three shots were fired in rapid suc
cession, and at the last report Carter
leu lorward in the street. He died in
about 20 minutes. Turpin was immedi
ately taken to jail.
The killing is almost universally re-
garded as one of the most cowardly
murders that has ever taken place in
this county.
WHAT THE SAILORS WANT.
1.303.000 Is Their Price for the
Valparaiso Row.
Sak Francisco, Feb. 17. The state
department will be astonished when it
gets the formal claim of the sailors on
the Baltimore who were wounded bv the
Valparaiso mob. Lawyer F. Alleyne
Orr has the cases of twenty-four men,
who were all wounded in Valparaiso
streets. They are common sailors or
coal heavers, but they want big money
for rough handling by Chilians. Their
combined claims foot up $1,305,000.
The largest sums are demanded by John
Hamilton, sailor, and Jeremiah Ander
son, coal heaver. They apply for $1S0,
000 apiece. Hamilton has three bad
wounds, and declares there is still a
piece of a Chilian dagger in the wound
that refuses to heal. Anderson is disa
bled by several wounds, the most serious
being in the lung.
Other claims vary from $100,000 to
$30,000. When one asked why these
men, who have never had so much in all
their lives as one year's interest en the
amount of indemnity, demanded such
big sums, he said:
"We don't want to have any balance
of indemnity that Chili may pay go
back to Santiago. Chili may pay $2,
000,000, and if she does we want it all."
A FOUL MURDER.
A Richmond County Farmer Shot
in His Stock Lot.
Rockingham, N. C, Feb. 15. Daniel
Smith, a prominent young farmer of
Williamson's township, this county, was
assassinated about dark last night. He
was found in the early part of the night
in his lot dead, and it was thought at
the time that he had been killed by stock;
but a doctor was called and on examina
tion found that he bad been shot, the
ball passing through bis body, lodizine in
the backbone. Further investigation re
vealed the fact that one "Tim" Wright
was the murderer. Wright has fled to
South Carolina, but is pursued by Deputy
Sheriff Livingston and a large posse, and
no doubt will be captured before morn
ine.
Mr. Smith was a very popular young
maa ana it was not known tbat be bad
an enemy in the world. Charlotte
