(PUBLISHKD EVZRT BY HERALD NEWS EXPRESS CO Per Year, in Advance: $1.25 Per Year, at Fnd otYaar FEBRUARY 27, 1903. SPECIAL TELEGRAM. Bpeolal to the Hebald. CixqiXNATi, Feb. 26 This city was visited by the worst fire in its history this morn ins.

It broke out at an early hour In the basement of Pike's opera house. The fire is still burning at noon, with little possible control in the district bounded by Vine, Wal nut Fourth and Baker streets. The loss is estimated at 13,000.000. Over lour thousand persons are losers. No loss of life is reported but many narrow escapes.

Wi shall hare something to ex plain, and possibly repudiate, when the General Assembly adjourns, but the blame will not rest upon the Senators and Representatives from this section of the state. They have been on the conservative and safe side in nearly every emergency, and have not forgotten the interests of the people whom they represent, A BYSTANDER'S NOTES. Contributed: Are the Republicans justifiable in filibustering to prevent the passage of the Statehood till? The Republican party is the majority party in Congress and will be held responsible for legislation by the people. When Quay and a few other conscienceless Republican Senators join hands with the opposition party in an attempt to pass laws injurious to the common good, then the majority party may fillibuster. Senator Morgan, although he is 79 years old, is not justifiable in holding up the Panama Canal Bill.

The old man has a grievance The trial of the State vs. Smith occupied four days in the circuit court last week at Columbia City. On aooount of lack of opportunity or the writer does not often attend court. Hence he does not know much about courts and their practices. The weather was very cold but the room was comfortable.

Saw no tobacco smoke circulating in the air. However when the room was crowded the air was not as pure as it ought to have been. There is too little attention paid to ventilation of all public rooms wherejarge masses assemble. "To nervous business moved too slowly. No oneseemed in a hurry, all acted as if they cared not "whether school kep nQt no indication that anyone thought or understood that "time is money." There was trouble, as there always is, getting a jury.

General Grant no guilty. rman ecape.i But the lawyers say, "Let no intelligent man on the jury." It seems useless for those whose' duty it is to select jurors to choose intelligent, wise men, for if they do, jthe lawyers will not permit thenrto serve. It certainly was an unfortunate choice when years ago Huntington county chose this man Smith, the defendant, to represent them in the 'Legislature. Certainly law breakers should never be chosen to make or administer the laws. It is an awful thing to break up a home.

"But, is not the woman in the case to blame?" Very much, indeed. The woman 1 is weak or bad. If weak, the man of Vealth and power is doujbly. gwiltyI tbadr ihelittla ness of the great man is gveater. The woman did not seek the serpent, the serpent sought her.

His was the greater crime.

ENGINEER GR0YER Writes Regarding Prospects of the Proposed Indianapolis Road. Extract from a private letter and pub' litbed by request. Tipton, Feb. 18, 1903. Mb.

N. H. Abbott, Mt. Etna, Ind. Dear Sik: Your letter of Febru ary 5th has reached me here.

In answer I will say, the Marion papers were very much in error in saying that "the company is about to abandon the Warren line." I saw the same article, and it purported to have come from an interview with me. The company have not abandoned the Warren line, and I have never made a statement that could be con strued into anything of the kind. Again, yourriends that you, have talked with are in error when they say that the road from Marion to Ft. Wayne by the way of Huntington avoids other railway lines. Should we come that way, from Huntington to Fort Wayne we will have the Wa bash railroad to contend with, adis tance of twenty six miles.

We have been and are still looking for the best line from Marion to Ft. Wayne, one that will cost the least to build, the least to operate when built, and the one, that will afford the most business in the future. These are the conditions that will govern the actions of the company at all times. Now we have surveyed a line from Marion by the way of Warren, and there may be other lines surveyed. We are now working out the cost of construction of the lines surveyed and looking 'up every detail that may enter into the problem of future business, so that we may make no mistake in selecting the route.

And I wish to call your attention to one item which we find in looking up the details, whioh is very apparent to us at and that is we find the people along the Warren ine very enthusiastic and anxious for the road, while on the' other hand, the people along the Huntington line act rather indifferent in re gard to to say the leastNow, I am frank to say, everything else being equal, the Warren people ought to have the line on account of the in terest they are taking in it, and tin es the noople along 7tbe 'Hunting ton line wake up to their own inter ests very soon, and make some showing that they want the road, it will doubtless go to Warren, or some other line than Huntington. Why shouldn't it? I will leave you and your people to answer this question in the near future. Very truly yours, L. Gbovek. ANDREWS.
