About 4,000 volumes of public documents stored in # portion of the folding room of the House wing of the Capitol were destroyed by fire lust night. ‘The fire was discovered about 6:45 o'clock by Mr. G. C. Gumm, a member of the Capitol police force. It was located in the sub base- ment in a room stored full to the ceiling with books, and was raging fiercely in the inflamma- ble material. Considerable difticuity was ex- perienced in reaching the flames and it was some time before a stream of water was turned on. Fire engine company No. 3 andtruck A of the local department responded to a call and after cutting through the wooden platform of n elevator finally succeeded in directing a stream upon the flames. The fire was extin- guished after half an hour's work. A force of men were set to work early thi morning to clear away the debris. it was fonnd that the damage is not so great as at first feared The total number of books de- stroyed and damaged will not exceed 4,000, representing ®, money value not greater than 81.500. ‘The volumes destroyed were mainly agri cultural reports und statistics of commerce and not of a valuable nature. A few copies of Ran- dall eulogies weré damaged. It is thought that the fire originated from an electric light wire which was strung along the low ceiling of the vault where the books were stored. ‘This wire was found detached from its fastenings and it is thought that in some way the business end of the wire was brougitt into contact with Paper wrappers of the books with the usual result. The tire see to have started in thé work room, where the Looks are wrapped and prepared for shipment. Last night's blaze makes the third fire which has occurre the storage rooms of the Capitol this session aud was the most dis- astrous.

Last evening at Wimodaughsis Mrs. Marilla M. Ricker of the District bar read = paper on the subject, “Is. Marriage « Failure?” Mrs. Ricker did not attempt to answer the question, but gave an exhaustive resume of both the civil and common law in regard to marriage and asked if it was any wonder that marriage under those conditions was some- times a failure. She stated that the only rea- son it was not more frequently a failure was that men are better that the Inws. ‘The usual discussion followed the paper, but it turned on the status of women in the churches, ‘The univereal testimony of those present was in favor of giving women the same opportunity in the churches that men have. deseo: A Divorce Refused. Yesterday the bill for divorce in the case of Theodore E. Spencer against Estella F. Spencer was dismissed by Justice Hagner. ‘The bill filed in September last sets forth the marriage at Torrington, Conn., August 4, 1881: that they have three children, and charged that in April, 1888, the defendant deserted him and her chil- dren, The court says that the affidavit of non- residence, made by the father of the complain ant, W. 'T. Spencer, states that he has no i terest in the result of the cause; that he was iso a witness examined by the complainant. In bis opinion father can scarcely render himself really disinterested. here were other irregularities in the case to which the court referred. The petition was sworn to before complainant’s counsel as a notury public, he examined the wijnesses, two being the paronts of complainant, by distintly jeading questions and neither established de- sertion in the sense of the law. The defendant went away from Washington,.but why, under what provocation, with what “motive, whether with the husband's consent or with the inten- tion of coming back is left uncertain by the proof, “fo grant a divorce in this case,” said the court, “would be to approve the very slip- shod proceedings ina case insufiiciently proved and decidedly suspicious in its surroundings.” bigtistt ce ‘ Record of Deaths.

Brig.Gen. David 8. Stanley has appointed a general court-martial to meet at Fort Brown, Tex., oh March 28 for the trial k A Remarkable Story Developed in the Me- Donald Will Case. A remarkable story bes developed in the suit to set aside the will of the late Senator Joseph E. MeDonala of Indiana. The heirs who bring the snit include all the Senator's children and grandchildren. The amount in contro- versy i about $40,000. Some time before he died he bought a lot on the leading business street in Indianapolis and told friends that he Was going to leave this to his children. By hi will, however, it was left to Mrs. McDonald, The suit 1s over this lot. It is claimed that pages of the original will, which was typewritten, were taken ont and others substituted. Soon after the Senator's death Arthur Hutchink, an office clerk, became insane and was sent to an asylum. The heirs who are contesting the will claim that Hutchins made the changes in the in- strument, and that the act had borne upon his mind until he became ,insane in conse- quence, The strangest part of the affair now comes in and is told by a New York World special from Indianapolis. ‘MISS ELIS’ DREAM. While the contest of the will was being ngi- tated by the heirs a letter was received by one of them from Miss Anna Ellis of Washington city, detailing the particulars of a dream which she had had a short time before. Miss Ellis is @ particular fri¢nd of Joseph McDonald. }r., and Miss Jessie McDonuld, grandchildren of the Senator. In her dream the thought she saw Mrs. McDonald anda young man in earnest conversation in an office. She said that she Would recognize the stranger if she could se im. She was asked to come to Indianapolis, and when she arrived she again related all the cir- cumstances of her dream with great minute- ness. Her description of the man fitted «0 nicely with young Hutchins that some of the heirs accompanied her to the asylam. Hutch- ins was ushered into the reception room and in an instant Miss Ellis recognized him as the man who, inher dream, she bad seen in con- sultation ‘with Mrs. McDonald. ‘Ihey endeav- ored to draw Hutchins into conversation, but he had but few lucid moments and # was im- possible to get anything intelligible from him. The heirs believe they see ir this incident a confirmation of their suspicions and can ex- plain in no other way the remarkable coin: dence between the dream of Miss Ellis and the jositive identification of Hutcbins at the ui as the second party to the conference. The fact is so noted that Miss Ellis’ dream oc- curred while the herrs were conferring among themselves regarding the propriety of contest- ing the will, but before Miss Ellis herself was aware that such a step was meditaved. Hutchins has thus become an important fac- tor in the contest proceedings, and both par- ties to the contest have made frequent visits to the asylum in the hope of recal'ing the cir- cumstances of writing the will to his mind. Both have taken copies of the will with them and he has perused them, but despite au ap- parent effort to recall the ‘circums:ances he is unable to give cny intelligent statement re- garding the meking of the will. At times he appears to be in complete pos- session of his fucultier, and just when hope mittee, are reported as follows Previously Merrill & White. C. A. Langley. 8. 8 Shedd & Bro. Abram Minster 8.

Qn one occasion when a copy of the will was presented to him he read’ it through very carefully, and then began to read it aga, but in the second effort be inter- poiated sentence after sentence, and under his reading the entire instrumen: was changed. Mrs. McDonald's friends believe that even the actions of Hutchins are favorable to the theory thai no change was made in the will by him after he copied it or wrote it at Mr. Mc- Donald's dictation. In all the examinations to which Hutchins has been subjected he has ap- parently been perfectly open and candid us far as his scattered mind would permit, and he does not show any of the symp- toms of fear which insanity experts as- sertare common to persons who have become insan> through remorse over the commission of crime. ‘This fact is regarded by Mrs. Mc- Donald’s friends as setting at rest the charges of forgery, and medical experts will be intro- duced in the trial of the cause to sustain this int. Poth ‘ties to the contest have many warm friends in Indianapolis. The Senator married Jate in life, and Mrs. McDonald was a becutiful and attractive woman and always possessed reat influence over him. The property which fe left her 1s worth about $100,000 and is ample to support her during life. Hea Sa JUDGE MAYNARD CONDEMNED. The New York Bar Doesn't Like His Recent Political Acts. * The members of the bar association of the city of New York last night heurd the report of the committee appointed to investigate Judge Isaac H. Maynard’s connection with the Duchess county legislative tangle of last fall. The meetirtg was called to order by President Peckham, who called for the report of the special committee appointed at the last meet- ing. Frederick R. Coudert then submitted the report. It gives an elaborate statement of the Duchess county cases and condemns the con- nection of Judge Maynard with them. In conclusion the report says: “Your com- mittee does not suppose that the conduet of Judge Maynard furnishes any sufficient ground for his impeachment, as it ia not misconduct in his office as” a j@dge, but impeachment is not the only remedy whichit is within the power of the legislature to supply.” The following resolution was unanimously adopted: “Resolved, That a copy of this report be transmitted to the senate and assembly, and that these bodies be respectfully requested to consider whether the conduct of Judge Ieaae H. Maynard therein mentioned does not de- mand an exercise of the power to remove the indge vested by the constitution in the legis jature.” “ANNIE KOONEY’S FAULT.

Hardly had the woman emptied her gun before the compliment was returned witha vengeance.

The Impressions One ‘Congressman Obtained of Postmaster Sherwood's Headquarters. Representative Bowers of California has vis- ited the city post office. The Californian was telling the House yesterday how little of gold coin was in circulation and in the course of his remarks said: “I had one gold piece left and I wanted a $5 postal money order.
