INDIANAPOLIS, April 12. Two dead and
five severely injured la the record of a fire
T.'hlch destroyed the house of Dr. Joseph
tin today.
The dead:
NATHAN MORRIS, an attorney.
FRANK HAAS, the 12-year-old eon of
Dr. Haas.
The injured:
Mrs. Joseph Haas.
Miss Hello Haas.
Mlsa Rose Haas.
Louis Hans, broken leg.
MIpb Grace Iemon, a governess.
The dairies, which originated with a de
fective furnace, spread with alarming ra
pidity, enveloping the whole house before
the unfortunate Inmates were fully awake.
From tho position of the bodlea It seems
clear that once aroused to their danger tho
victims made frantic efforts to escape.
Louis jumped from the second story win
dow, while Frank Haas and he governess
endeavored vainly to flee by the back stairs.
Mr. Morris evidently neglected his own
chance to escape and devoted the last min
utes of his life to an attempt to rescue the
other members of hla family. He appears to
have sounded the first warning and to have
then gone around trying to aid hia rela
tives. Finally, however, the smoke and
flames were too much for him and be fell
exhausted to his death.
He was a brother of Mrs. Haas and senior
partner of the commercial law firm of
Morris tc . Newberger. He was born in
California In 1857 and had practiced law
in Indianapolis since 1877.

When Burbank threw that awful fit of
rare down at the Millard hotel Saturday
In hla ilrade before the little handful of
Insurgents that had taken their doll rags
and left the republican convention because
they could not have their way, he, of
course, was excusable, for he had just wit
nessed the vanishment of his dearest hope
to berclty attorney or at least the re
publican, nominee for the office. .Every
body unfortunate enough to be caught In
that little hall when Burbank emptied his
vial of ; wrath thoroughly understood and
appreciated hla feelings, and this no doubt
accounts for the extraordinary sympathy
accoTdea him In his travail.
Burbank and the rest of the antls dwelt
ao strenuously upon the fact that they had
seventy-two delegates at this council of
war, when as a matter of fact, which moat
of them at least knew perfectly well, seventy-thres
regularly elected delegates had
remained la the ha.lL Ferdinand Haarmon,
who they alleged wanted to desert his Sec
ond ward Moores aasoclatea and go to t'jo
antls, was not with them, but exercised his
own. free, will and stayed In . Washington
hall at. the regular convention, and pne of
the Ninth warders did. 'the same thing yet
these heavy-hearted antls pretended to be

Senator Charles L. Sattnd'er,. whose boom
for mayor Vu lannohod under direction of
Qua-JDonnecken two -months ago In the
Fifth ward and who 'went with the antls
when Moores was nominated, said to a re
porter for The Bee at the Millard hotel
meeting: "I waa not In the race to be
nominated. I cancelled my candidacy long

my men would have gone for Bingham had
the convention continued in session at
Washington hall." "

correct many of the evils alleged against
his predecessor, but Mr. Ware has failed
to make good. He has been arrogant In
the office over which he presides and die

have suffered at his hands, as well as news

Mr. Ware suspended the Issuance of proof

Former commissioners believed tbat the

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 12. (Special.) The
state capital, only slightly disturbed by
the session of the legislature, has settled
back In the old rut without a Jar. But
nothing Jars this state capital of ours. Its
people are too dignified to get excited at
the coming of the legislators, and of course
are too dignified to notice their departure
by recognizing any change In the town.
But the haunts of the legislators. There s
where the change la. The hotels and the
streets. To an outsider, to quote a news
boy, the change Is something "fierce."
Everywhere is deserted. The bellboy,
who for the last few months has been alert
with hla car attuned to catch the faintest
tinkle of the silver tip, now sleeps on
watch. The tippers are gone.
The lobby la no more and when the
organization went to pieces there was none
to, take Ita place. The Lincoln members
of that organization are Just plain people
now, and their "bear hugs" have changed
to a cold, clammy handshake.
Wants Convict Laborers.
It is now up to the Board of Public Lands
and Buildings to say who Is to employ the
convict laborers at the state penitentiary.
Recently E. W. Davis, former warden of
the penitentiary, bought out the button
business of Kasper & Son, Including all the
machinery and patents. When the transfer
was made Mr. Davis found that all of the
convlcta working were by Contract em
ployed by the Lee Broom and Duster com
pany. This company claimed the right to
employ all the convicts not working, snd
it has a contract to that effect. Just be
fore Governor Savage went out of office ho
transferred about a dozen convlcta from
the button factory to the broom factory.
Since that time only the broom factory has
been running with convict labor. Mr. Davis
claims that the transfer of the convicts
was only temporary and haa asked the
Board of Public Lands snd Buildings to fur
nish him men. The board is considering the
matter.
Iter. Ludden Qalt Pastorate.
Rev. Luther P. Ludden closed his pas
torate of Grace Lutheran church today and
at the same time ended a quarter of a cen
tury of active work In the pulpit. Mr.
Ludden quit the ministry and resigned his
charge to accept the secretaryship of his
church mission. He came to Lincoln and
began active work In 1889. From that to
the present time Mr. Ludden has seen 200
pastors come and go. From point of serv
ice he was the oldest minister in the oity.
The position accepted by Mr. Ludden will
keep him on the road most of the time.
Nearly all of the churches of the state
capital held Bpeclal Easter services today
and the Inclement weather apparently did
not detract from the attendance nor pre-'
vent the wearing of new spring outfits. The
floral displays in the various churches was
greater this year than on any Easter 6c
casion in the history of the city. The most
popular was the Easter Illy, with the car
nation a close second. The supply of the
latter ran out several days ago, and they
were not so conspicuous at the churches as
they might have tfjen. Among the potted
plants most conspicuous In the decora
tions were the hyacinths, splreas, szaliaa
and hydrangias. Among the cut flowers the
violet, lily and the rose were very popular.
Convention of Teachers,
The last meeting of the school year of
the Lancaster teachers was held Saturday.
It was attended by about 200 and waa a
most interesting session. Mrs. A. J, Saw
yer spoke of the Morton monument Idea
and urged that teachers ssk the school
children for contributions for this purpose
on Arbor day. Prof. F. A. Stuff of Wea
leyan spoke on Sherman'a "What is

Penmanship." An addition to the musical

taxed only by the State Board of Equalise
tion.

Omaha redeemed ltseir yesterday by tak
ing the second and last of the series with
Des Moines by a score of 6 to 3. It was
s bad Easter overhead and the chilly winds
kept all but a few of the fans away, but
they were sufficiently boisterous to make
up for the vacancies In the grands' and.
It was Omaha's gnme all the way througn
and never did Des Moines look as If It
could head It off. The heavy wind made It
very difficult to Judge high flys and the
fielders on both sides had an opportunity
to distinguish themselves by gathering In
the wind-swerved balls.
The first two runs for Papa Blll'a boys
came In the Bepond. ''C&Q" Stewart pasted
the ball out along the ground for a single
and Patterson got Up to the bat. He hit
the ball to Durkee, but failed to reach
first ahead of It. Then Gondlng stepped
up arid, picking out a floater, knocked the
ball out Into middle and "Ace" came homo.
The hoodoo had been broken and Hender
son proceeded to make sure of it by pound
ing out a nice, long triple to center,
"while Johnny came marching home."
This waa the last of the scoring for this
Inning. In the fourth Undertaker Qulnn s
family managed . to ' aneak In. a run and
Omaha added three more runs to Us score
to cinch the game.
Bleachers Get a Scare.
Until the last of the ninth it waa one,
two, three and out. Then the bleachers
got sn awful soare With one man out.
Henderaon gave Hotter a base on balls and
Vandine hits not one to Stewart. Stewart
gathersd it up and threw it wildly in the
direction of first base. It went down
toward the bleachers and Patteraon fol
lowed It and succeeded In imitating Stew
art's throwing, so Hotter got home and
ysndine got to third.! Durkee waa next up
and he hit the ball for a seemingly safe
single. Dolan fielded it in and threw It to
P terson. who , let It go through his
fingers, and another man acored. That was
enough monkeying and so they settled
down and put out two men and took the
game.
Omaha goes to Lincoln today to play two
games with the university tesm today and
tomorrow.
Score of yesterday's game:
. OMAHA.
