Dntruotlv. Firn JlMi-sh.ro.
Wiluavucbo, Vs., June 8.—At 13 o’clock
lut night s fire broke out In the right wing ot
the center building of the eastern lunatic asy
lum here, and before it could be got under
control everything was destroyed. The build*
ings burned comprise the original ones oi the
institution, erected over one hundred years
ago. There were two hundred female
patients m the burned building, but
all of them were rescued, except
ona Miss Smith, of Fottaylvania county, who
wss burned to death. Another patient. Miss
Jefiries, alter being brought out of the build
ing, wandered away and was found this
morning drowned in a creek near by. All
the female patients wero taken to William
and Mary college, where they were tempora*
rily cared lor. The other wards contained
nearly 300 male patients. Theso
wards wore quickly emptied, and
he unfortunates were turned loose
but did not wander ofT, being generally tract-
icable. When It wu found that the tiro was
getting beyond control, aid was telegraphed
for from Richmond, and a steamer reached
here from that city at about thrso o’clock this
morning, but the fire had then done ita worst.
The Richmond firemen, however, went to
work, and did good service. Nona
of the male wards were burned, they being
located in the buildings partially disconnected
from those destroyed, and strong wind blow
ing from them. Tho total loss is estimated
at from $120,000 to $140,000. The insuranco
is about $40,000. The fire is believed to have
resulted from some trouble with the electric
light wires, as it was first discovered where
the wires ontered the right wing of the build-
5’ho burnt buildings were all of brick. The
fiames burned steadily but not very rapidly.
The excitement among the inmates was very
g reat, particularly so among the women, as
leir wards were in the burning buildings.
Their screams and cries were piteous; a num
ber of them were hard to manage, and it was
with great difficulty that they were kept from
rushing back into the burning buildings. Four
large buildings belonging to the asylum yet
remain, and Dr. A. Moncure, superintendent,
states that by crowding, the
patients can be accommodated
in them until the additional quarters are pro
vided. Tho records of tho institution wero
gotten out safely. Much of the furniture was
also saved. The total loss will doubtless reach
$160,000, upon which there is an insurance in
local companies of only $30,000. Miss Smith,
Who was at first reported burned to death,was
found alive to-day near the asylum, so there
it only one lile lost—that of a patient who
wandered away and was drowned in the creek.
This it a most remarkable fact, whon it it
considered that there were nearly five hun
dred patients to look after, hall of whom wore
in the burned building.

Pnasaucao, Va., Juno 8 At a late hour
last night one-hall of the town of Suflolk,
on the Norfolk and Western Railroad, was do
atroyed by fire. Tho flames were
not got under control until this morn

littlo town of about 6,000 inhab : ‘anta, locatec
on the Norfolk and Western road. sixty miles
from hero. It is one of tho most prosperous
towns in the state. The fire consumed the
entire business portion ol the place. Ii is sup
posed to have originated from a lighted match
carelessly thrown among a lot ol waste paper
in a small frame tenement houso.

Fire broke out shortly after eleven o’clock last
night on the south side of Washington square,
and spreading rapidly east, west and north,

main business street of the town, leaving only
three houses standing. It alto extended for
some distance on both tides of Kilby street,
and Jdownl the west tide of Main street. A
high wind prevailed during the fire. The

FISH IN COURT.
Tbs Old Man Grows Very |Intolsnt With the
Referee.
New Yotr, June 10.—Tho examination of
James D. Fish, ex-president of the late Ma
rine bank, was continued to-day before tho
referee at Ludlow street jail, on behalfof Jul
ian T. Davies, receiver of Grant A Ward, to
discover whether or not any of the tracts of
land and but Id ings owned by Mr. Fish wer
purchased with money secured ftom the de
funct firm. Fish was stubborn and testy. Tho
first question was as to tho number ol lots
owned by Fish in Chicago, Fish said they
were purchased’ by him during the put three
years, and he became angry when
asked if they wero purchu- l with
Ward. IIo u iunuu uuiuucuurkmcvi -uuu i
ask such damned foolish questions.’’ When
questioned as to his stock operations with
Grant A Ward, Fish answered i ”Uo had thou
sands and thousands of dollars’ worth
of stock from me.’’ lie wu
very vigorous in his denunciations
of Ward's mining scheme. "I bought stock
In the mine from Grant A Ward," said the
witneu, "but it wu a swindle. I bought and
paid for many mines which only existed in the
imagination of Ward. I wu induced to taka
holdof the Ward smelter, but Ward’s brother
told me they never bad a smelter.”
"Ilowabout the Mona mine!” the witness
wu asked. •
"The Mona mine wu one of Buck Grant’s,"
wu the reply. "That wu a damned swindle,
too. The individual next door (Ward) can
R ive you valuable information on thuo
lings.” #
Toother questions witneu only repliedt
"Why,don’t you examine the gentleman next
"Well," replied the counsel, "You issue a
snbpiuna duces tecum and we will bring
him."
"Just bring him in, and he will get a black
aye end a broken neck.” Shouted Fish, and
he looked u if ha would carry bis threat into
effect. The examination wu adjourned in
definitely.

GRANT’S MEDICAL BILLS.
The St**lei Current In Regard to the Henry
Billt Incurred.
New You, Juno 13.—[Special.]— 1 There are
two •torriee current in regard to. tho heavy
medical bills which are being incurred by
General Grant. Four very costly phy«iciana
have been employed almost continuouily dur
ing the put itz months. It is customary in
this city for practitioners to render bills to
their regular patients on the first of Jane for
the preceeding hall year's services. A care
ful estimate or the aggregate of the four ac
count* give* lorty thousand dollars as the
sum which, judging by the quantltv and
quality of the work done by the four doctors,
must have been demanded at the beginning
of tho present month. Dr. Douglass now lives
in the house, neglecting hia other practice al
together, and Drs. Sands, 8hrady and Bark
er have averaged a call per day, counting in
the days which they have devoted entirely to
the case. All are specialists, accustomed to
large fees. The suggestion that they are con
tent to accept the incidental advertising aa in
lieu of cash remuneration is not tenable, be
cause the job has not, on the whole, made
good reputation for the two whose status could
bo raised by connection with a celebrated
case. One story is that George W. Child* has
paid the bills. He was here about the first of
June, a visitor at the Grant house; his in
timacy with the general is well known, and
his liberality is proverbial. Mr. Childs
has since declined to tcH
whether he met any or all of the medical ex
penses. A second explanation ii that the
physicians have taken m payment orders on
Webster k Co., the firm which is to publish
Grant's book. The income from that source is
bound to be large. Mark Twain, a raomber
of Webster k Co., says that he does not per
sonally know of any such arrangement, hat
that bis assent, or that of hia partner, would
not be essential. It is certain that the gener
al's present resources yield only §27,000 a
year, which would barely cover
tho ordinary expenses oi his
household, leaving nothing for sueh
immense doctoring bills as must have been
now rendered. The reason why Dr. Dougla-s
Is kept on guard night and day, Is the patient's
expectation that he will eventually choke to
death, and he wishes to have expert help at
hand. While he sleeps sitting in a chair, un
able to lie down for an hour, Douglass occupies
a bed in an adjoining room, with a bell so
hung that a pull by a cord at Grant's hand
will awaken him. Thia precaution is in addi
tion to the watching of a negro attendant.
OBNERAL KING BXPLAINS.
He Said Nothing at All About the Members
ot Mr. Jones's Family,
Wabhixgtoh, Jane 10.—The Star says the
published reports about a probable duel be
tween Representatives King and Mr. Cuthbert
Jones, oi Louisiana, because of somo refioc-
tions upon the members ot the letter's family,
alleged to have been made by General King,
do not seem to have foundation enough to
worry the lovers of peace add order. It seems
that Mr. Jones's ire was railed by sensational
matter telegraphed from Washington, which
wss represented as coming from General King.
The latter, it appears, did interpose to provent
the appointment of Mr. Jones to a consulate,
but General King denies that he cast any
reflections npon the members of Jones's fam
ily. It seems to have been a case of misun
derstanding which mutual explanations have
cleared up. Representative King furniihos
tho following and requosts its wide publica
tion:
Washington, June 18,1885.—[For tho Associated
Press.1 —I beg to say that too

sensational, and some of them referring to inno

Judge Spear hu been patting the screw, of

and it appaara that hia sentences have not
met the approval of the collector, who accord
ingly called on the judge and urged that the
sentences of tho court wore not sufficiently
heavy. The jadge eyed the collector with
considerable surpriso for a moment and then
said,
"Bo you think that the senteneee of this
court are too small J’’
"I do,” uid tho collector.
"Well,” eaid the judge, "do you know that
you are in contempt of court t"
Mr. Crenehaw then eaid:
"Wall,the commissioner oi internal revenue

"And did he tell you to tell me lot" uked
the judge.
"He did,’’ wu the reply.
"Well,” laid Judge Spur, In that larcutic
tone for which ha ia noted among hia friends,
"this court knows where justice ends and op

of internal revenue that if he comae down here

GRXxttviux.Tcnn.,JunelO.—[Speclnl.l-Nothlug
is thought ol and talked ol berc but the trial of
Colonel E. T. Johnson, lor the murder ol Major
Henry, which began to-day. The whole day wu
spent In the selection ol a jury, which wu com
pleted In the afternoon, when the court ad
journed until to morrow. The crime lor which
Colonel Johnson Is to bo tried, ie pronounced by
Benalor Voorhces, counsel tor the defense, to
bcone of the most remarkable tragedies In our an
nals.
Johnson wu ono of the brightest and most sue-
cetsfnl lawyers In Indianapolis, with a beantllnl
homo and a family consisting ol
a wile, son and daughter.
In consequence of Ill-health he
aocepted a position u special examining agent of
tho pesaton office and went to Eut Tennessee
taking his wife with him. In the coarse of a year
hia wife returned home. A yeu ago last Thanks
giving day Johnson went to Indianapolis, and the
tallowing morning the city wu startled by tbe an
nouncement ol bli wile’s suicide. She wu found
lying on ber bed dressed in pure white with a
pistol by her side. Tbe fatal bullet bad pierced
ber heart. Tbe grief etrlcken husband at first
stated that the suicide wu duo to Insanity.
This wu believed it first, bat.
gradually people began to tbtnk that the unfor
tunate lady bad been murdered by her husband.
Sympathy gave way to suspicion and a thorough
Investigation wu demanded. Tho correspondence
between husband and wile wbilo be wss In Ten-
nesses and she wu at home developed tho tact
that during Mrs. Johnson's stay fn Tennises,.
Major Henry obtained control over her through
bis power u a mesmerist and seduced her. When
she returned to Indianapolis she wu free from
this man's Influence and wrote to
her husband making a fall confession. When
Johnson reached home he talked the matter over
with his wife, told her that her fault should nov
el bo known, and promised to make ample provi
sion for ber support. Ro tl. n left ber and
tbe next morning found her dud. To prevent
exposure he advanced the Insanity theory; and
but for tho persecutions ol his enemies the truth
would never have come to light. When tho facts
come out Johnson learned that
Major Henry, who wu connected with some Iron
works In Tennessee, wu beutlng ot his crime and
auertlng that Mrs. Johnson had led him on. This
wu more than Johnson could endure, and taking
a shotgun he hnntcd Henry down until he found
him at a country store near Greenville, where he
emptied both barrele ol tbe gun In his body, kill-
tag him Instantly. Returning to Grcenvillo
tho people turned out ca memo and
congratulated him heartily. They carried him on
theirshonlders to tho hotel and told tho sheriff
that they would ten down tho Jail 11 he attempt
ed to placo Johnson In It. At tho preliminary
trial the ball bond wu fixed at 310,000, and the
best dtlacna volunteered to sign It.
Since (bat time tbe people and tho preaa ot Ton-
nessce and Indians bare Indorsed Johnson'* act,
and po violator qI tho law ever bad the public
more strongly on bis side.
Johnson is s tall, slcndor mtn about forty-five,
with a long black beard slightly tinged with gray.
He Is a quiet looking man and In bad health.

THE SNAKB SCATTERED 'EM.

Seven Foot Conch whip In a Railroad Car.
From tbe Charlotte, N. C., Observer.
It Is probable tbat when tbe Charlotte train
pulled Into the Pennsylvania depot in Washing

man wu seen to get off tbe train and pam through
the depot, carrying an ordinary tow sack in ono
band. This gentleman wu Mr. Butler, the com
