Whiter came ruehiiig in Pon 118 yesterday with one of thoso deplorable catastrophes which, like suicide and other social phenomena, seem to bear a settled proportion to other events. The largo and well ordered orphan asylum of St.

John, in charge of the sisters of the order of St. Joseph, in which nearly 800 little boys were sheltered and taught, was partially destroyed by fire. According to the latest information received at this office shocking loss of life accompanied the fire, the roll being thirteen killed and one mortally wounded. Of theBe victims eleven are children and the remainder women. Nine little bodies and two of grown women were found in the ruins of the infirmary and laundry, which wore situated in detached building in which the lire first appeared.

One Sister fell from the cornice of the building just as succor arrived, and was killed. One little boy fell from the same height and one who had made a partial descent down a water pipe, was dropped to the ground by the treacherous fracture of the elbow joint of the pipe, and is probably no longer alive. This is the record, and a sad and dismal introduction it is to the festive season of Christmas. Who the two adults were whose bodies were found in the ruins has not yet been established. They were, however, probably, relatives of the children, for yesterday was visiting day.

The children were some of tho forty or fifty on the Bick list of the institution who were unable, either through bodily infirmity or the effect of terror, to escape with tho majority. Unhappily loss of life in public institutions is not an unknown calamity. The hotel fires in Milwaukee, St. Louis and other cities, the loss of life in a Missouri convent, the destruction of an orphan asylum in Canada, tho burning of an insane asylum at Halifax, and other memorable fires with great sacrifice of life, havo prepared us for such a horrible calamity and warned us of the imperfections of the safeguards we have insisted upon throwing round buildings. The origin of the fire is not yet ascertained.

The building in which it broke out, as will bo Been from the diagram in the Eagle's account, was situated apart from the main structure, but not sufficiently distant to prevent the spread of the flauios to the nearer wing in which was the chapel. An engine room iu the basement, with a laundry and drying room above it, an infirmary immediately above that and a quarantine ward on tho top floor constituted the offices in this building. Tho lire first ap nred in the laundry, and rapidly envel One of the sisters managed to get a number of the little invalids out by tho door of the infirmary others vet remained, and three sturdy citi zens lost no time in raising a ladder to hand fifteen out by the windows. Another of the good nuns weut back into tho building to try and roscuo more, had her retreat cut foil. According to three men who did such good service th infirmary was cleared.

This morning's shocking discovery of little corpses tells a tale upon "nvpfprs not to dwell. The adult Willow yjn ins were those of two mothers, probably. One, in her frenzy tried to escape and fell Imc'k," exhausted. The other, whose face was not seen at the window, had no thought of leaving her sick boy, a cripple, perhaps, to meet the fiery death alone.

Worth Wins In tue sixteenth. The friends of Buchmann and Worth are jubilant, having won tho Sixteenth Ward by a majority of 471 In a total vote of 838.

The election opened In the telegraph offica adjoining Turn Hall, Meserole street, about noon, and lasted till 11 o'clook. The votes wero not all counted till midnight. From the opening to the close there was a constant crowd about the placo, which after working hours became a regular masa meeting. At the commencement thero seemed to be a disposition to exoroise the right or challenge vory freely, but it was soon abandoned wbon it was found that It would ont like a two edged swordas men of both factions had voted for Cleveland. Messrs.

Worth, Buchmann. Nicot and other leaders, together with Presidont Heury Schulz, wore present during tho after noon and evening. Tho election was quietly con ducted. A little ripplo of excitement was crested once by a young mao, whoso name is said to bo Walurlght, upbraiding Theodore Wich for having influenced his father to vote for the Worth tickot. After the close of tho election a tall man.

in an apparently frieudly way. seized Dr. O. Hawkins by the arm so viciously in Turn Hall that the doctor with dttucuity represaca uis ue Bire to thrash him. Tim election of the Buclimanu Worlh ticket Is regarded as a triumph over Civil Service reform and Mayor Low, and as Insuring ere long to Sir, Worth the chairmanship ot the General Committeo.

Nineteenth Ward Daggett's Force Koutcd The Senator Unable to Effect a Combination Abaeiits Hiinvelf. Colonel Andrew D. Baird at tho head of the solid niombers of tho Nineteenth Ward Republican Association charged on what was termod the last entrenchment of Senator Daggett in tho ward at Walton street and Maroy avonuo, the cxtremo or Gorman sec tion of the ward, last night, and captured it with but a faint show of opposition. Tho Sonator aud his lieutenants abandoned tho bulwarks and left their de moralized forces in charge of tho proprietor of the halJ, Christian Musler, who did a little as Mr. Daggott's lieutenants alleged, on his own account.

Mr. Daggett was not present, due, it was as sorted, to hia failure to form a combination with bup ervisor Bennett's forces. Tho latter gentlouian did uot want to trust his political fortunes to a sinking shipand so accepted a position as a delegate to tho General Com mittee on tue uaird ticKsi. air. waa au mitted by his friends, labored with Sir.

Bennett, who assisted him at one of the primaries during the past year, until 4 o'clock yesterday morning to make a stand against the association ticket without success. He renewod hia efforts iu that direction at 11 o'clock iu the forenoon without avail. After failing to Induce other influential members of the association to asBist mm, no decided on withdrawing in person from the contest and so did not present himself at tho primary. 1 Daggott has buowii tue wnito loauior. i mougui.

"WenayoBeen me last oi jjaggmt, at a nineteenth Ward primary. Sotno other person will havo to got up an opposition," Bald another prominent gentleman. "Mr.

Daggott compelled ub to como away up here and then throws up the sponge," remarked several men. The primary was opened in Garfield Hall bacx oi Jir. Muslor's saloon, at the place designated, at four o'clock in the afternoon. Tbo inspectors sat at the easterly wall, nearly uuder the largo engravings or tne late Prosidont Garfirld and Senator Daggett. Colonel Baird'H friends were ou hand in large furco aud several carriages were outside of the building.

The regulars had made preparations on a noerai scaio zor sue luh. test, and had advertised in a local paiwr tho previous evening that carriages would bo in waiting at tho gu lar headauarters. 55 Hewos street, end at tho juuetion of Loe and DiviBlon avenues and Olyuior street to carry Balrd's supporters to the polling plaoo. Many car wero on hand at the appointed places aud they wore Kept bUBy plying to ana irum anuu mruon ioi a few hours, after which Colonel Baird, Boeing no foemen worthy of his stoel at tho primary, suggested that no special effort should be made to get out more voters. Shoriff Stogman, Mr.

Pickford aud the Taylors were nrAHflitt in the hall, sunnortinu tho regular ticket. christian Musler aud J. R. Thompson, who oondnot ed tbo opposition, were candidates for the General Committee. Colonel Baird, for president of tho association, lioaded their ticket, but there were changes ill thn ten vice presidents and in members of Executive, Finance, Printing and Investigating committee.

It was thought that man would bo asked what electoral ticket they voted at the last election, but such was not the case. Captain Jerlers and E. A. Walter, two of Mr Daggett's warmest supportors, wore prosont, but did not vote. The primary was a quiot one and near tho close there was only ono policeman present.

Tho polls closed at 9 o'clock and half an hour lator tho vote waa announced as follows: Total vote. 36o Baird ticket an Mnsler Thomoson ticket. 49: Mills ticket. 5. The declaration of the result was quietly rocoivod and thoso present departed for their homes.

A close inenu of Mr. Daggett stated privately to a couple of reporters that the Senator would contest the seats of the two men elected to the General Committee on the BnlM ticket, nn the nrouud that tho ballots of Mug wumps wero received and couutod. When Colonel Baird heard of tho movement credited to tho Sonator he merely smiled. James Dunning Elected President, aud the Wliole Sniilli Hearil 3Iyer Ticket a Winner in the Twentieth Ward. The stereotyped phrase inteuso inter est will not convey to tho reader the feeling that existed among tho Republicans of tho Twentieth Ward last night, over the primary that was held in the Little Church Around tho Comer, on Adelphi Btreet, near Fulton.

There were two tickets in the field, and the excitement was such as had never before been witnessed In the ex bannor Ropublican ward. Jamea Dunning headed the ticket that was ultimately successful, and which was kuown as the Smith tickot. or SmituBearrt Myors faction. The president of tho association. John B.

Summer field, was aoain tho standard bearer of what is known iu tho ward as tho old Schroedor French faction. It is also called tho Summerfield faction. Mr. Summerfield waa early at the polls and shook hands good naturedly witli Mr. Dnuninir.

his opponent, wheu that gentleman ontored tho room, aud througout the contest, whioh was a hot one, not the slightest ill feeling was en Rendored at the instance of olther candidate for the presidency of the ward association. Both men worked hard for supremacy, but at all times their actions were courteous aud Rontlemanly. Tho total number of bal lots cast was 000. but two wero throwu out having been folded within each other. Mr.

Dunniug received a maiorltv of 117. oxaotlv tho eamo majority by which his Bide won the primary that sent their delegates to the Congressional Convoutiou before tho lato olection. But all interest did not center on the election of the chairman. An isBiie had been made by tha Squaukumites on the secretaryship and although thoir ctitor, nny Harron, left nothing undono that would tend to tha ilnfnat of Ed. Morehouse and tho re eleotlon of Charles Y.

Van Dorcn, who was on the Summerfiold ticket, all offorts were vain, for Mr. Morehouse pullod through with a maioritv of five. Oulv ono man was challenged. Charles Brackett, wlinn asked bv Mr. Barrow, said ho had voted tho Re publican ticket, but when put on oath wmild not Bay that he had voted the Republican electoral ticket, wtinn o'clock drew near tho utmost uncertainty pre vailed as to how atfaira wero going, and carriages hired by either faction rattled through the ward from Fulton to tho Marino Barracks.

It was hard to drag voters awav from warm firesides Into tho snow and onld outside; lionce only a voto of 598 out Jof a mem bership of 1,700. Tlie Regulars Victorious In the Seven (eentli Ward. The Seventeenth Ward primary for the election of officers, delegates to tho General Committee and inspectors of olection, was held lust evening at No, 220 Manhattan avenue, Qreenpolnt. From tho time that the polls opened thero was a spirited contest Thero wero two tickets in the field, comprising the Nasun nnd the Jeueen factions. Tho former faction boon at loggerheads with tho regular association for some time, and have in sevral iusiai ces devised meaus by which the ward association could be hentn'i.

Althou im thero waB no Ki'eat ricuemeni lasi evonuiff. several retty quarrels occurred a short dis. tance from tho polls. When tho polls closed at ten oJoloek and the result was announced it was found that 274 votes had been cast. Of these tho regular ticket.

Although thore were two tickets peddled at tho Twenty second Ward primary, tho contest was made on only one name. Tho Protectionist faction in the lower end of the ward solicited votos for Mr.

D. 0. Wyckes, a clork in the banking house of Messrs. Galla det of Now York, whom they wore desirous of sending as a ueiogsta to ttio oeuerai wuimiirar, place of Mr. John F.

Tapscott, a lawyer, who was a candidate for re election on tho other ticket. Iu every other reBpect tho tickets were precisoly allko, and the primary was conaequontly a very tamo affair when contrasted with the contests that havo in years past beon waged in that Republican stronghold. There wua an unusually light vote cast, the inclemency of tho weather no doubt deterring many of the members of tho association from attending. Two Ticket In lle Twenty first Ward. There wore two tickets in tho field at tho Twenty flrat Ward primary, bold in the wigwam, Throop avonuo, near Myrtle.

Thero was not a very large vote polled. Thero was no princlplo that oould be ascertained in tbo contest. The Hill faction wero endeavoring to defeat the Swamp faction a contest that arises at every primary. Thero was no excitoment and no challenges. It looked throughout as though the "Swamp angels had the victory.

The Mugwump Question Dropped la the Twenty third Ward Content. Thero were two tickets at the Twenty third Ward primary, but the snow that drifted through every crevice In the wigwam, where the primary was held, cooled tho ardor of tho contestants. It was very evident that both BidoB wanted to paiut tho town red," as each faction hod at the head of tho ticket a legend printed i bold red letters. Ono was, Opposed to Mr. Nathan's management of ward politics." This was supported by the Thorton, Smith, Skinner faction.

At 3:30 o'olock yesterday afternoon, as pnbUahea In the EAOXE Extra Issued last evening, fire broke out In the Roman Catliolio St. John's Homo for Children, on St. Marks avenue, between Albany and Troy, and a few hours later half the buildings which comprise that in stitution were dea'royed, twelve Inmates were killed or miBsing, and 785 children were turned out of the magnificent home which Brooklyn had provided for them.

It was first discovered by Sister Anthony, who was in charge of the inflrmary on the third floor of the eugino building. She smelt the burning linen and opened tho door of the drjing room.

Instantly a cloud of black smoke rolled out and red tongues of flame shot forth. She shut tho door immediately, but tho laundry girls, who worked near at hand, saw the flames and smoke and fled, shrieking Fire 1" a cry which wbb taken up all over the institution, carrying panic with it. BIfitor Anthony'B "first thought was of her charge. She ran up to the inflrmary whero there were thirty flve children some sick, some crippled. She clapped her hands and.

obedtent to this signal, the children fell into lino. Sho wrapped the sick and orippled little ones in blankets and gavo one to eaoh of the biggest boys to. carry. All got out in satoty. Meanwhile Mother Superioress de Chantol Bent out an alarm which quickly brought Euglue 14 on the scone.

Ail waa excitement and terror. Tho drying room in which the Are had broken out was in a small building, which contained on its lower floor the engine room and on the upper floors tho infirmary and tho ward for sore eyed children under Bister Josephine. This building was on the southwest corner of the square containing tho buildings of tho institution. A suow storm was raging with a high wind from the south, and the flames were carried across a narrow alley way to tho big west wing of tho institution. It was soon In flames also.

Meanwhilo harrowing scenes were in progress at the ongino building. Tho sore eye ward was on the fourth floor, and tho knowledge that a Are was In progress did not reaoh tho inmates till the lower part of tho building was a sea of flames, and escape by moans of any stairs was utterly impossible. Suddenly a great shout of horror went up from the poople who had gathered from the neighboring car stables and houses to see the fire and' render what asslstanoo they could. Upon the roof of tho burning building two figures wore aeon wrapped in the smoke and flamos. Ono was a woman and besldo hor was a boy.

The women aud children screamed at tho sight. The woman and boy wore walking along the edge of the mansard roof. A ladlor was put up as close to the wall as possible, and Charles Wadaworth, a conductor on the South Brooklyn Railroad, climbed through the Bmoke and flames to tho top. He couldn't get within are feet of the boy and told him to jump. There was a joyful cheer a minute lator when Wads worth was seen descending the ladder with the boy in hi aims.

He came to the ground, consigned his oharge to careful hands and rapidly rati up again, but before ho got to tho top tho woman had disappeared. She had fallen through with the roof. Wa dsworth aud thoso who Baw bor say she was not one of tho visitors. She wore a brown dross and a shawl, aud appoared to be about 35 years of ago. Her figure waa thin.

Meanwhile, another terrible scene was in progress. Sister Josophiuo, aged 35, in charge of the sore eye ward, on tho fourth floor ot an engine building, appeared on the noVth side of the roof, surrounded by flames, wringing her hands and bogging for help. The sight drove the people who witnessed it nearly insino with excitement and horror. Burr Rollins, a conductor, and Pat Heady, a truck driver, ran upon the roof of the west wing, which is bIx feot higher than the roof of the burning building and eight feet away from it. report says that they throw her an overcoat aud attempted to pull her up aud that bar hold broke.

An orphan boy, who was among lliose wuo watcueu utu tumuia oiu, however, that she was driven from the roof before the men cot ou tho adjoining roof, and when thoy stood on tho edgo of the west wing roof she was hanging by hor hamlB from the coping of the infirmary roof. men made frantio efforts to roach her, but thero wero no means at hand and sho fell. Hor head struck a stone wall as sho fell, and alio rolled on the flagging insensi ble. An ambulance took hor to St. Marys Hospital, where sho died half an hour later, Childreu poured out of the homo into the storm all this time the engine building was rapidly crumbling away and the west wing was quickly becoming wrapped in flames.

At tho windows on the second and third floors of this wing the faces of tho childron who wero cut off from escape were seen by the horror stricken crowd. John Tyson, who llvos close by the institution. and Goorge Irish and William Clarke, two laboring men, ran a ladder up agaluBt the west wing and rescued fifteon children, all whom thoy could Hud. The Xew York Sun procoeds, concerning this stage of the firo, as follows Johnny Ryan, a llttlo boy, 7 years old, was carried to the hospital with Sister Josephine. He had tried to climb down a water pipe.

Tho pipe broke, and he foil into the basement, fracturing his skull. There is no hope of his recovery. By 4:30 the fire had spread the entire length of the weBt wing, running around the wooden cornices of the Mansard roof, and eating its way through partitions. An immense crowd had been attracted by the fire, and dozens of women had como to help take care of tho children. Thev were scattered In every direction.

Undertaker J. H. Tracy came with his wagons and car ried off 200 childron to the Beecher Asylum. Ono or two hundred, it is sajd, were taken to St. Mary's Hos.

pital, 300 to St. John's Episcopal Hospital, and others wero sheltered in livery etaDIes, saloons ana nouses. Whether an were saved was not known, although the directors of the institution said they were sure that all the children were resoued. The children In charge of ihn dead Sister romainod unaccounted for. It was feared, however, that all the childron on Sister Mary Josephine's floor were not saved, and that their remains wonld be found In the ruins.

This proved true, for when the firemen made an ex amination this morning the bodiOB of two adults and nine children were found. Ono of theBe adults was supposed to be a Sister who appeared at a window cry ing for help and then was aaen no more, and the other, it was thought, was the woman visitor whom John Tyson tried to rescue and who fell through the roof. The Mother Superior waa not to be found. It was said that she and two Siatera had driven to the house of Father Craighton. No facts could be learned with retrard to the rescue of tha children on Sistor Mary Josephine's floor, though the Sisters insisted that all wore saved.

It was very cold when tne cbildrom were being re moved, and the only thought wbb to get the youngest under Bhelter as Quickly a possible. Nearly 100 of them were taken to the farm house, a building belonging to the institution and occupied by tho servants, Sixty six remained there all night. Hosts of people came from all over the city inquiring for children, and but few found those whom they sought, A little boy not over three feet high rau through the anow all the way from the rapid transit station, occasionally sitting down to cry. He said his name was Johnny Mc Mann, of 735 Myrtle avenue, and added, My brother Frank is in the fire," and started off. Two hours later he was in a back room iu the farm house fast asleep, with his arm sruund FraDkie's neck.

Frankie had on a gingham apron, aud looked exactly like the sixty six others, except that he was fatter than most of them. They all lay on the floor, some asleep aud some awake, with three or four young girls walk around among them covering them up as fast as blank ets and quilts came iu from the fire. At nine o'clook two men dressed in working mon'i clothes came Into the room crying. One of them said that he waa Richard Malone, and that be had two boys. 4 aud years old, in tho fire.

He got that far when gingham apron popped up and yeUed "Why," the father cried, "there's little Dick," and in a minute little Dick bad nil the hugging he coma Dear. Jack was not to bo found in the farm house, and Mr. Malone started out to find him, leaving little Dick fast asleep. Meanwhile the fire was progressing on the outside. The efforts of the firemen did little good, and the flames spread rapidly The burning of the chapel was a grand sight.

The interior was one mass of flame. colored by the etained glise windows through which they shone. Gradually the saints and martyrs drawn i upon iue giass urutiiit uuw 1 were cone and the ohel was Batted.

Wood, Tho Wood ticket was successful. Trouble in the Fourth Ward. There was trouble in tho Ward Ke publlcan primary last evening 'almost before the primary had begun. There were two tickets in tho field a contest merely between tbe "Ins" and tho louts." The ins were composed of tho old fellows who have ruled tho Ropublican roost in the Fourth Ward for years past, backed by HopkinB and Dady the 'outs" were the younger mon of the association, lea by Young Republicans. Thoy put up JoBeph Reove for presldout aud John J.

Enright for delegate to tbo General Committee. Beside these complications wuicn were apparent ou the surfaco thero was another disturbing element not generally known outside tho association. Mr. Michael Dady and Mr. Hopkins fougbi aide by side only Because tnoy naa to uniie to ip new men down.

There was reallr a division botwoeu them. All the nominations cn the Hopkins Daily ticket (headed by John H. Bennett for president) weie made by Hopkins, who carried many more votes than Tiartv and was therefore aoie to disregard mm. At 7:30 o'clock, when the primary opened, as inti mated above, thero was a mild row at the ballot box. Messrs.

David Richardson aud Mortimer enneu, mo ward ir.Bpectors, refused to let Mr. Ed. Smith, the in speotor dolegated by tha General Commltte, act, and called on tho police to oject him. Ho protested and took his seat. Mr.

John J. Enright thereupon gave formal notice that if the out" ticket wero defeated the election would bo contested before the uonorai com mittee. The lua were triumpuant. The Fifth Ward Primary. There were two tickets in the field at the Ward Republican primary hold on tho first floor of a tenement honse at No.

The Context In The Fifteenth Ward.

Tho Fifteenth Ward primary was opened about seven o'clook in the cigar store No. 323 Graham avenue, and from that time to the close at nine o'clock a long and never diminishing line of voters kept slowly and steadilv moving toward the place. The friends of William H. Allison and thoso of Miles McLaughlin, whoso fortunes were respectively represented by the ticket headed Theodore Cocheu and that bearing tho name of David Teese wore out In fnll force. At tho nntaat Counselor Hubbard Hendrickson, a supervisor nn the Teese side, who bad beon appointed by the Gen eral Committee, had a wordy war which for time seemed likely to proceed to blows, miu Mr.

t. Mil. oi me pitiless storm, a uui, iwuiuouw joqog man, I rwith a profusion oi Dionue curie, gave dm name as can be no doubt that but for the fortunate circumstance of his holding over he would have retired from the committee altogether. Coupled with hia discomfiture at the hands of his former supporters ho has the satisfaction of knowing that his ancient adver sary, the Hon. Jacob Worth, has headed np with all the laurels of a whopping victory in the Sixteonth Ward.

Mr. Worth may not bo much of a reformer, but he is quite as much of a reformor as Mr. Daggett is, and it will be surprising if he does not make it warm for the Senator before the close of the year. Messrs. Moody, Day, Elliott and a few others are above the average, in point of intelligence, of the mass of delegates elected, but collectively there is not much to choose on this score between tho outgoing and the incoming committees.

From the extreme partisan itaudpoint the organization is stronger than it mi i.Jnnnv was last year. Jne maniiesi. wumuvj toward rock ribbod regularity in every relation of party activity. What the regular Republicans havo decided upon is that no man shall be recognized or tolerated who refuses to stand by the ticket, the wholo ticket and nothing but the ticket. All this may bo highly acceptable to the patriots who prefer going to the ballot box with both eyes closed, but we do not believe that it will deserve or receive encouragement from tho mass of discriminating citizens who havo laid to heart the lessons of the recent past.

Our Republican friends, of the regular type, seem to have overlooked the important fact that at best party is only a means to an end, as well as tho consideration that participation in preliminary political action is purely voluntary on the part of tho individual. Their line of conduct before, during and since the election affords the amplest ustifioation for tho perpetuation ot tue inde pendent spirit aud tho continuance of tne independent movement in organized form. a 'i'lio Schools. Tho annual report to the Mayor of Mr. Tunis G.

Bergen, president of the Board of Education, is an exceptionally clear, interesting and well considered document. The pressure of news on our space prevents the Eagle from publishing it to day, but to morrow we shall lay it in full before our readers. When Mr. Bergen entered tho Board his views on popular education were somewhat crude. Because of this it is the more of a pleasure for the Eaole to be able to say now that he has broadened steadily, and has in the report before us given evidence that he is now entitled to be ranked with the best of his predecessors.

He shows not only a thorougn knowledge of school affairs, but, what is most gratifying of all, complete and active sympa thy with every effort being made to in creaso tho efficiency of the system. Quite unconsciously he has vindicated the wisdom of choosing young men when there are reforms to be effected by showing himself capable of overcoming his own prejudices. An lllustra tion of this is given in the praise he bestows on the freo book system towhich, in common with many other excellent gentlemen, he was opposed at the outset. Something similar appears in his strenuous support of the mora elementary as distinguished from what are called tho higher branches of education. It is plain that the young gentleman who was so warm an advocate a few years ago of beauti fying the schools at the top has now become quite as thoroughgoing an advocate as the Eagle of the policy of providing first of all for the children who need to bo taught "the three Rs." The feature in the report which will nerhans attract most atten tion is the exhibit made of the insuf ficiency of our school accommodation.

Thero aro 108 classes, each of which has more than seventy pupils there are fifty class rooms in which, because of the number seek ing instruction, the pupils are allowed only half day instruction, and thero aro in all 3,980 pupils more on the registry of the schools than there aro seats for. The reform to which theso figures point is obvious, The one thing over and above all others in order is tho building of more primaries. Uu til the city has put itself in position to give a seat to every child seeking education, it is manifestly an injustice to spend another dollar on tho building of high grade schools. Should the taxpayers be in mood, as wo trust they will be, by aud by to enlarge the curriculum, good and well but in the meantime common sense and common justice obviously require that tho elemontarv necessities shall be first of all attended to. It is to be added to thiB, how ever, that the Board has in recent years made great progress in the right direction and that the report before us justifies confidence that there will be no abatement of effort till the evils complained of are fully overcome.

The Eaale at New Orleans. The largo number of citizens of Brooklyn who will probably visit New Orleans during the World's Exposition there may keep themselves informed of home affairs through the instrumentality of the Eagle, which will be for sale at Wharton Brother's, No. 5 Cnrondelot street, between Canal and Common streets. Mr. Eiddleberger would greatly facilitate the dispatch of public bnsiuess, without do tracting from the influence of his oratory, by hereafter delivering his speeches iu the Dis mal Swamp.

The London Times has succeeded in exciting tho Jingoism of tho American bucolic press. A Buffalo contemporary says In reply to this threat the assurance may safely be given that Euglaud can in no other way do bo much to eimure tue auccesa oi mo mcaraguoii trenij i uj agoing up a deuce of a row about It. Let the British Ministry and tho British press object, and protest, and threatou aud bully if they want to see the treaty with Nicaragua made operative From this it loolcs as if there might have been some reason in the explanation made by a Chicago editor who upon being asked tho meaning of the "red suusets" answered that they meant war with England. People who lament the death of Vennor can find no consolation in the survival of Hazen. Many persons who are busy devising a Cabinet for Mr.

Cleveland would get rich if they Were to display as much onterprise and perseverance in some other pursuits Mr. Cleveland's application of the principle of Civil Service Keform must necessarily bo to a very great extent in the noture of the warfare waged by a man who goes gunning for rats. Tho Federal departments are full of vermin. Mr. Evarts thinks the prize of the United States Senatorship worth scrambling" for, in which respect he differs from President Arthur.

But Mr. Evarts is much more supple than Mr. Arthur. Mr. Marcus Hanlon, editor of the American Protectionist, has a specific for the cure of our industrial ills.

He believes that all would be well if the prices for labor and commodities wero regulated. But the proposed treatment is too superficial. If the principle is a good one, let him begin by regulating the daily supply of solar light and heat, and requir ing Nature to conform herself to the exigen cies of his programme. The viands wines at the New England dinner ht will doubtless be up to tho standard on such occasions in the past but how much will tho wit and humor of Henry Ward Beecher be missed from the feast of reason and the flow of soul.

Mahonoy, chaplain of the in stitution, expressed great dissatisfaction at tho work done by the Fire Department aud said tnavwllh proper efforts the fire might havo been stopped almost at once. The flromen, however, did their best. They had to work in a snow storm and tha water froze safest as It splashed back upon thorn.

The water pressure waa evidently verv weak and It waa necessary to carry tho hose on top of the building in order to get the water there at all. Fonr firemen stood beside tho west wing and directed a Btream of water whioh was blown away by the wind before reaching the building. George Matthews, of Truck 3, carried a line up a very high ladder, and directed a stream upon the ing cupola. The intense oold numbed his hands and ho dropped the nozzle, trod at the same timo lost his hold and fell from the top of the ladder. Fortunately he slid its entire length, rebounding on its icy surface, and thus saved his life.

He escaped with a broken anklo, and was assisted to the hospital by other flre mon. There was then no ambulance, as it baa oeen smashed half an hour before by a runaway." The institution was a very handsome and imposing one, built of blue stone. It cost $500,000 together with the land on which it stood. The loss will reach aboul $150,000. The great conflagration was watched with horror by immenae crowds until a late hour; when it was well nndor control.

At the Brooklyn Orphan Asylum, which Btands on Kingston and Atlantio avonuss, the windows of the upper stories wero crowded with little faces, watching with breathless interest tho terrible events occurring plainly iu their sight. As related above, a terrible discovery awaited tho searchers among the ruins this morning. Eleven bodies, nine children aud two adults, havo already been found. AID BADLY NEEDED. The present condition of the childron is most deplor able They are being cared for as well as possible, but the icy weather and the immense number of sufferers makes a large amount of assistance an Immediate ne cessity.

The children aro scattered about the uoguoor hood in private houses and vaoant buildings, and stand in need of hats or caps, warm clothing, food aud blank ets, the latter especially.

As to the third objection, that the allowance is not the per capita allowance which is distinctly called for by the law, it has on its face more weight; but it can hardly be claimed that the law intends that the city shall give a per capita allowance for the care of poor whose support has already been paid for either by tho county or the city. And this indicates another curious feature of tho whole situation, tiiaD Borne institutions get allowances from the pub He funds in three different ways First, from the county in tho pay of county wards sec ond, from the Board of Education as a payment on the ground of instruction, and third, from tho Board of Estimate out of the Excise funds, which is the matter now under consideration. Tho Board of Estimate has this year divided those applications into three classes those which are homes, the hospitals and dispensaries and benevolent institutions and has invited rep resentatives of each class to meet with it for the purpose of trying to reach a distribution which shall be an equitaable one and conform strictly to tho law. Snd Misuse of a mouth. Mr.

B. F. Jones appears in Now York with the result, if not with the purpose, of being interviewed by the New York Tribune. Who is Mr. B.

F. Jones is tho question we know many readers will ask for the theory that citizens carry the general train of events in their minds is one editors make a mistake in adopting. Mr. B. F.

Jonos is that Pittsburg ironmonger whom Mr. Blaine caused to bo chosen chairman of tho Republican National Committee, in which position he said ditto to Mr. Stephen F. Elkius, of Now York, West Virginia, New Mexico, Augusta and Washington City. Prior to the country's introduction to Mr.

Jones by Mr. Blaine the ironmonger was not kuown bej oitd the strictly business limits of the smoky city, iu which the driven suow is always sicklied o'er with the dark cast of nigbt. His translation to the field of national politics was a hazardous experiment. It was doubtful whether he would prove a man born great, whether he would achievo greatness or whether greatness could be thrust upon him with the certainty of adhering with the tenacity of a siueeuriBt to a salary or with the fidelity of a postage stamp to a begging letter. As said, Mr.

Jones limited himself to a meek encoro of Mr. Elkius' antics. But distinction has not wrought extinction in his case. Ho has his uses. One of them is to become tho conduit of the mischievous remarks which Mr.

Blaine desires to havo printed without himself seeming responsible for thorn. In tho interview referred to Mr. Jones fa vors Evarts, Morton and Hiscock in the order named for Senator from New York. The propriety of a Pennsylvania chairman of a national committee interfering in the election of a Senator by tho State of Now York appears complete to tho vibrating vacuum which Mr. B.

F. Jonos calU his mind. Men who are merely politicians without tho peculiarity of being Blaiuo politicians will regard such interference as questionably safo for Mr. Jones' comfort. A habit of resentiug intrusion of that kind wrevails.

But Mr. Blaine that is to say Mr. Jones is nothing if not novel. This is further shown by his free and easy remarks on President Arthur and his Cabinet. Their conduct in the recent campaign is," he says, a delicate subject for him to touch on." Accordingly, he proceeds to touch on it with all the delicacy of the clergyman who delivered a lecture on body stealing to the mourners at the side of an open grave.

He says if Arthur had supported Blaine as cor dially as Blaino would have supported Arthur Blaine would be President elect." Ho contin ues 'Neither Mr. Arthur nor his Cabinet, with support to have been expected from Republi cans." It seems "the committee called three times on the President." Ho excused himself on two occasions. The third time he was re ported out." Beside "neither Mr. Arthur nor any member of the Cabinet contributed ft cent." Mr. Jones then goes on to stigmatize Mr.

Arthur as "afreo trader whjse election to the Senate would bo a public calamity," And he cuds by declaring that George C. Gor ham and JohuF. Smyth" Eoscoo Couklhig intimate friends spied out the nakedness of the committee at the outset of the campaign only "to become supporters of Mr. Cleveland at the close." The average citizen who is both tho invention and tho solace of newspapers in gloomy hours will conclude that Mr. Jones insensibly makes a severe criticism on, and flat confession of, the inefficiency of his own committee in suffering or in not neutralizing these evils but lot that pass.

The talk will breed other talk. Abler mon than himself will reply to Mr. Jones, and our Republican friends will find that what looks or sounds very like an ante mortem inquest on the Grand Old Party will make mighty interesting reading." Tltv Republican Primary KJcr.lionw At the primary elections held laBt night by the regular Republicans for the selection of General Committee delegates and ward and town as ociatiou officers a considerable vo was brought out, despite unfavorable weather conditions and the depiessing influence of tho recent defeat. Tho contests between factional leaders iu several important districts were ex treniely animated, and the result shows some noteworthy changes in tho makeup of tho or gauization as constituted for the coming year Now that the Independents havo resolved upon the establishment of a separate committee, with local auxiliary branches, the managers of the regular body find the work of controlling such voters as remain considerably smipmieu. it is probable that they will not ba called upon to bewail the absence of their retiring asso ciates until the exigencies of the next cam paign reveal the necessity of reforming their broken lines and recruiting their shrunken and shattered forces.

Some of tho more im petuous partisans continue in the belief that the mugwump is ft porson to be despised and excluded from all participation parly poll tics, but cool headed Republicans already recognize that the attempt to discipline the auti Blaine men was a serious if not a fatal mistake, and that only phenomenal good for tune can enable them to reunite the party and restore it to an efficient basis. Interest in the primaries naturally ecu tered upon the choice of delegates to the new General Committee. The blundering incapacity exhibited by that body in tho conduct of the recent canvass has evi dently disgusted many of the older members of the Republican organization, and there are marked indications in the list of committeemen of a desiro to intrust the management to mor reliable and intelligent persons. Undoubtedly the most notable accession to the membership is that of General Benjamin F. Tracy, whose return from the First Ward is a handsome indorsement of the policy of moderation adopted by hini toward the gentlemen who bolted the Presidential ticket in November.

General Tracy certainly possesses ability of a higher order than that of any delegate who has appeared in the committee in recent years, and it will be strange if he does not immediately assume a commanding position in tho party councils. His colleague, the Hon. Joshua Van Cott, is also representative of the better tvDO of Republicanism, and will doubtless take high rank as a debater. Neither of these gentlemen, however, will be recognized as in any souse representing the large body of In dependent Republicans, who appear to bo without ft spokesman in the new committee Quite as significant as the election of Messrs, Tracy and Van Cott is the defeat of the candidates representing the "interests of Mr. Dnirirett in the Nineteenth Ward.

Since Senator's break with Colonel A. D. Baird and the Messrs. Taylor his fiuence in tho ward has been dwindling but the assurance which characterized his radical assault upon tho Independents and his assumption of absolute leadership seemed to create an impression that ho had regained Knmethinii of his former prestige. To a more modest individual than Mr.

Daggett the re pudiation of one's claims to leadership by his own neighbors would be accepted as an ad monition that the time had arrived when re tirement would bo more becoming than the persistent intrusion of his personality. But Mr. Daggett is not the man to be discouraged by a little sot back of this kind. He can be confidently relied upon to operate the machine as long as it can be held together. The overwhelming vote against Daggett in the Nineteenth Ward clearly what 1.: flaml mnlllpl' tue arms oi ms Somebody, we presume, was io blame for this fire and for tho accompanying sacrifice of life, but whero to placo the responsibility if iB hard to say.

That the building was prop rty constructed, so far as it was within llio 0, lower of expert men to foresee events, seems Krelt well established. A thorough in spection of Uje buildings was made nearly eight years ago by Commissioner Gay lor, of the Department of Buildings, anil Mr. Arthur Crooks, his colleague. Whatever deficiencies were apparent these gentlemen presumably detected and no doubt they made recommendations which were adopted as to exits. The situation of the laundry in au outbuilding was entirely proper and no fault can reasonably be found with tho establishment of the infirmary apart from the main structure.

Tho thought of extra risk to the poor little fellows who were thus separated from the center of intelligent control probably never entered the mind of any person. It cannot be denied, however, that every precaution wa3 not taken. The city had caused to be placed at a convenient and commanding point in the quadrangle a sufficiently large fire hydrant. This proved to be of no use at all until the arrival of tho department, for the amazing reason that there was not a foot of hose in the building and, except perhaps the engineer, no person connected directly with the institution who was capable of attaching anA usinS it Had even such a stream os this been applied at the outset by two or three intelligent men the fire need not have gained headway. There does not appear, however, to havo been any preparation against fire in tho smaller building, either from a steam force pump, extinguishers or any other appliance.

By the time the fire engines arrived, which they did promptly on roceipt of the summons, the children were probably beyond help. Tho situation of the institution gave the flames the full force of the gale. The engines were some distance away. The alarms were conveyed by frightened children and precious moments were lost. Lack of water impeded the work of the Fire Department, and consequently the great building was almost totally destroyed.

With all these hazards depending upon rapidity of action and promptitude in meeting an emergency, one cannot but reflect upon tho unwisdom of a policy that leaves gentle women, unequal by nature to deal with the terrors of fire, tho solo custodians of 600 children. Had the firo broken out at night and in the crowded main building instead of the infirmary, ono shudders to think what the list of casualties would have been. The Charitable Institutions and tue Excise moneys. While the members of the Board of Estimate are struggling with the problem of how most equitably to distribute among tho char itable institutions of tho city so much of the Excise moneys as are not set apart by statute in Mm Inebriates' Home, the Police Pension fund and other objects of more or less benefi cenco, it is of interest to take a look at tho course pursued heretofore Tho rule has been to take from the reports of each of the institutions' which applied for a division tho expenditures in the gross. From these the Board has deducted first, the items paid for administrative expenses, second, the amount put into buildings used otherwise than for charity, and has endeavored to reach the net amount actually expended the re lief of the poor.

From that sum the Board has deducted all items which each institution lias received from public sources or from tho ioard of inmates, reaching by that pro iess the net amount contributed by the iWonds of the institution out of their own isocbets for charitable purposes. On the not limounts thus reached the Board has given to nil the same percentage. That has been cnt icized as inequitable, first, because it lakes no account of the capital of the different in stitutions invested in buildings, for instance second, some object to the deduction from the list of expenses of the amount used in the payment of salaries and third, it is claimed that this division is not a per capita division such as is called for by the law. As to the first objection, it is hardly possible for the Board of Estimate to form an equitable valuation of the standing property of the different institutions, and, therefore, it has paid no heed to that item, tho difficulty being still further increased by the fact that three sorts of institutions apply for aid. Homes of one kind and another, hos pitals and strictly benevolent institutions, and the last havo little, if any, plant in the wav of buildings as a rule.

On the quos fi.iWips it is to be noted that many of our institutions are served with out pay, and it is claimed by their friends that if tho amounts paid in salaries a 1.
