Bri?s.:ij, Jan. 2. The royal palace atLaekcn, a suburb of Brussels, was almost completely I'estroyed by Are yesterday. The flames spread rapidly and at one fttMe threatened to cut off the escape of Most of the Inmates. Tho Princess Clementine had a very narrow escape trorn iloath and her rescue was made with tho greatest difficulty. A youug lady employed as governess to the Princess was unablo to follow her mistress and was burned to death. Tho only portion of the place which escaped the ravages of tho fl'imes was that In which the private apartment of the King are situated. The royal collection of works of art, one of the finest in Europe, comprising sonio of tho most valuable paintings and statu ary extant, was entirely destroyed. At ten o'clock last night the palace had the appearance of a huge furnace and there camo from it constant crushes and volcanic bursts of tl.uue.s as timber and other masse of debris fell into tho Ore. The heat was so great as to totally prevent tho approach of the small lire brigade which at best could havo done but llttto. The Queen's apartments suffered most. Much plate was saved, but tho valuable pictures, the Gobelin tapestries and tho great library were all con sumed. The extensive crrcn Iiouhcs and stables woro not touched. Tho only occupants of tho palace at the time tho fire broko out wero the Princess Clementine, aged seventeen, a lady attendant and tho governess, Dranonurt Tho governess, having escaped with tho others, returned to tho Princess' apartments to secure somn valuables and was suffocated. Tho Queen lost by this lire interest ing souvenirs of her children, especially of htr son who died at the & of twelve. NaM)leoit I. resided for a time in this castle, but it has since been much en larged and Improved. As soon as the flro was reported the King und Queen suspended tho New Year's day reception nnd hastened thither and witnessed tho total de struction of tho pulacc, the usual sum mer residence. It is said tho flro was caused by n de fective Move in tho otllcors' quatters. Tho loss is Immense as to money value and as to destruction of art treasure that can not be rep arod. All the private papers of the King and of Leopold I. and theQueon'a Jew elry were destroyed. Only tho walls are now standing. The body of the governess h is not yet been found. It Is reported that two Hrcmcn were injured and another killed at the flro at Laoken. Tho London Times has Intelligence that tho Laekon palace was fired by in cendiaries at three separate places and that all the Gobelin tapestry was saved. AN ASYLUM HORROR.

The life of Rev. Father James A. Kelly, of St. Patrick's Church, waa attempted early this morning. The assassin waa only prevented from accomplishing murder by the loud outcries of the wounded man. After striking the Irst blow he fled In the darkness. This Is the second attempt to do away with Father Kelly within three months. The first attempt was by poisoning. The affair offers no pos sible solution, In spite of the fact that detectives have been working ujion it for some time. It has beeu said that there Is a woman in the case, but there Is nothing in the pastor's known asso ciations to confirm tho supposition. Father K lly was aroused about 3:30 by a summons on his door. He hastily drew on his clothing and descended to tho hallway. In answer to a query, tho stra gcr outside said that tho priest s J services wero desired at a deathbed, and asked to lw admitted. Father Kelly unbolted tho door anil opuucit it cautiously to got a gllmpso nt the stranger. At this Juncture the latter throw hi weipht against the door, forclmr It in ward and securing a partial entrance. At tho same tlmo ho struck Father Kelly a blow on the head wltli a heavy instrument. Tho forcing of tho door had prepared him fur the attack, nnd tho fact that the priest saw the blow coming aud dodged promptly saved his life. H the blow had hit him iquarely hls skull would have been crushed. Aa it was the biow was a glancing ouo and raado'an ugly scalp wound. Father Kelly grappled with his as sailant nnd cried "Murderl" The as sassin got away and took to his hoels. In the scufllo he dropped his woaon. Father Kelly, weak from the loss of blood and the shock of the excitement, sank to the floor. There the fright ened housekeeper found him. He waa lying acrms h d mrway In a pool of blood. A rod of Iron about thtee feet I ng and an Inch thick lay near him. It was the weapon usod by his assailant A doctor was at once summoned and the wound dressed. Father Kelly only suffered from ner vous prostration und loss of blood. He says he can not identify his assailant Fattier Kelly ou October 8 hist drank the sacred wine and soon aftvrwatd ex perienced a severe burning sensation in his stomach. Ho was assisted into tho sacristy, aud, suspecting that he had Urn poisoned, swallowed un emetic at once. Dr. Bailey, wlut whs summoned, suw that the symptoms wero those of arsenic poisoning and ad ministered nntidotes. It was believed that there was a de liberate attempt to poison the priest nnd there was universal Indignation among people of all denominations,. No ono know what could havo Impelled the attempt, and the detectives had only tho slightest clew. Tho wine, robes and other priestly appurtenances aro kept in a small room off tho altar and in this room burned matchtM were found on the table where tho bottle stood. Trices of arsenic were also found on the table near the bottle, aa though some of the Hison had been spilled while twing poured. STORMY TRIP.
