ANOTHER 'TERRIBLE CALAMITY
Burning . of n Ilotel . ••.lieven Persons
*toasted Allve•..•A 'Mother and Your
Children among. the l.ost••.Dlstressint;
Incidents.
The following particulars of the burning
of the Halliday House at Kenosha, Wis
consin, are full of terrible and mournful
Interest:
IL was a substantial four-story brick edi
fice, built about 25 years ago by lion. Chas.
Durkee. It had the capacity to accommo
date about 200 guests, and was well and
even elegantly furnished. At one time It
was the largest and most popular hotel In
the State of Wisconsin. It was located ip
the central part of the city, on the corner
of Main and Fourth streets. At present It
is a total ruin, firr although the four walls
are standing, it is probable that they may
give way at any moment, while from the
debris which fills thespace Inclosed by them
live human bodies, burnt, shriveled ar d
hardly recognizable, have been already re
moved, and that of a sixth still remains.
The exact origin of the lire is still doubt
ful, though it has been ascertained beyond
question that it emanated from the letup
room of the hotel which was tilled with a
large number of kerosene lamps and a
quantity of oil in cans. The floor,also,was
saturated with the inflammable liquid, as
the apartment had always been used for
the same purpose.
The discovery of the tire was made by
Cards. Everett and 'ljssel, two well-known
K en tl non or this tidy, who were returning
trom a ball in the community known here
as itermany. Passing along Main street,
in front of the house, about 4:30 A.
they perceived an unusually bright light
In the lamp-room, and immediately ran up
stairs to see what was the occasion 01 ic.
Before they had arrived, however, it tr,
came permellv evident that the hotel was
on lire. As they proceeded they were met
by masses or smoke and flame which issu
e
I from the latml-romn, where the
w•a.s already consumed by the devuu ring
I.IOIIIIIIL, fed by the kerosene which poured
from the lamps and tuns. Capt. Everett
gave the alarm at once, and, ;tssi.ted by his
companion, endeavored to arouse time
guests of the house. The names spread
rapidly, and, owing to the peculiar inner
construction or th,, building, the passage
and stairways were soon tilled with VOI
1/11111S nromukc. A t this time, or soon alter,
the ll.. Hilly of the boarders, of which there
were nIP,IIL Sixty, made their 1,1,11,0.

The King.
The net' King 01 Spain goes to lied every
night at ten o'ciock, like a good Christian,
and rises which astounds the
Spaniards of the ('oust, who have been in
the habit or turning lit into day. Ile
hits also abolirllP,l the iilisurd etiquette of
the Spanish of which so many ridic
ulous stories used to be told. The
rpfuses to allow his roves lingers to be kiss
ed, and shakes hands like any plebeian. A
eorreSpolldent Writes of him:
" lie walks about the stretqs without all
escort, visits the poor, and makes pH,
A•hases ill the Slier , . The IC ling contributed
for the pour of Madrid, and an equal
amount for the needy members of the citi
zen militia. Having ascertained that the
pay of the plibile school teachers leas sev

fitted to draw oft the treasury for his own
until the claims of the teachers are satisfi
ed. lie also expressed his intention to
grant a general amnesty for pontical
but the constitution takes this power
away from hint."
This boy, for ho is little else, is (Ming
much to disarm the hostility and pride of
the Spanish people, and, it is said, educate
them up to the Republic.

Hitherto lhe Japanese government has
prohibited the raising of swine as being
impure, but recently it has decided that it
is advisable to encourage the production of

A Shanghai paper is translating the nar
rative of a Chinaman named Pin, who, hav

countrymen an amount of the strange CUP,
toms of the barbarians of the outer world.
(in board the steamer in the Red Sea he
was intensely anillSOLI by the conduct of
his tel " Some of the men's
beards were much entangled, while the
hair of others was looser" but he observed
that the men hail good figures, while the
form of the softer sex was extremely hand
some, The dress .f the ladies seems to
have pleased him immensely ; but of their
mariners he does not speak in the most flat
tering terms. "'They turned out from
their cabin early in the morning, and rest
ed themselves on long rattan couches on
the poop, their husbands attending by their
sides. After meals the husband and wife
generally walked up and down the deck
lOU turns or no, till they got tired; and
then laid themselves on long rattan couches
on the poop alongside each other, where
they began twittering like-swallows in a
low tone, and embraced each other's arms
like mandarin ducks." We are inclined
to think that Pin must have been mistaken
as to the relationship between these inter
esting couples. The symptoms are not
those of a connubial interview.
Boston has already contributed $28,-

HARRISBURG, Feb. 1, 1671.
SE:CATE—Mr. Billikgfelt asked and ob
tained leave of absence for Mr. Warfel for
a few days, on account of sickness. Mr.
Dill introduced a supplement to the penal
laws, providing that hereafter the punish
ment for murder in the second degree,
shall be imprisonment fur not less than
five nor more than twenty-five years, for
the first offence, and imprisonment for life
for the second offence. Mr. Buckalew,
chairman of the Committee to whom was
referred the petition in the Lyndall-Dechert
case, made a supplementary majority re

On Monday morning, an adjourned Court
of Quarter Sessions being about to begin,
Hon. H. G. Long, President Judge, and J.
J. Libhart, being on the bench, Judge
Long announced that he had Just received
the sad intelligence of the death of Hon.
Isaac E. Mester. Judge Long continued:
"A more than usual gloom pervades this
Court; one of its brightest lights has been
extinguished. Mr. !Hester was a profound
lawyer, and in his death the bar of this city
and the community at large have sustained
a great loss. We all recognized his great
worth as a citizen, and his marked ability
as a lawyer. A more courteous gentleman
never practised at this bar. His loss will
be long and deeply felt, and. as a token of ,
our regard for the deceased, we adjourn !
this Court until Tuesday morning at II
o'clock.
. . -
The meeting of the Bar of this city, held
to take appropriate action in regard to the
death of lion. Isaac E. lliester, was the
largest of the kind, except that which as
sembled on the decease of President Bo
chanan, ever witnessed in Lancaster. Over
lifty lawyers were present within the spa
chills bar of our Court-house, when the
hour appointed for the meeting arrived, •
and a number dropped in afterwanls.
on motion of Thomas E. Franklin, Esq.,
lion. 11. G. Long, President Judge of the
Courts of this county. was called to the
Chair,and Col. Pyferatol E. li. Yount.
Esq., appiuinted Secretaries.
.Mr. Franklin then proceeded to speak,
with deep feeling, as full we
- I feel utterly incapable, sir, of perform -
ing, properly, the grave duty that I feel
pressing upon me. It is a mournful task
for me to rise here and announce to you,
who k new !lino so well and esteemed him so
highly, the sudden decease of Isaac E. II fes
ter. The intimate relations Which existed
between him and myself, ton h toe so
keenly, as almost to unfit [nelson- utterailee.
A long and close friendship has been rude
ly sundered. 'rite unexpected blow un
nerves and overpowers Me. I can say, I
knew him from the coninienCenlent to the
end of his legal studies; lie read law under
me, aria he was a rinse and diligent stn-'
dent all the days of his life. l e nder the
eircumstances, there is no member of this
Bar, no Man in this community who can
feel his loss more keenly than I do. Blessed
with intellect of a high order, and t special
ly distinguished for the analytical charac
ter of his mind, lie had attained a position
Where he could look. back upon a life full
of finreosic triumphs, and forward to a fu
ture of extboded usefulness. Cut down ill
a moment, nund iu his very prime, it is not
strange that we should be stunned by the
loss We have sustained. We van scarcely
yet realize it, and oar hearts are too full I . !,
the utterance of elaborate eulogies upon our
departed brother. 1 am sure every mem
ber of the liar here present will be a willing
witness to his 'narked nubility, his high vir
tues and his many manly qualities. Ills teas
the highest sense of honor, his was the pur
est integrity. Nothing could induce him
to commit any act not in full accord with
the character of the upright lawyer and the
courteous gentleman. Ile was a model to
Whoin the younger members or the liar
might well look as 1.0 all exemplar, and hold
up before themselves as worthy to la imi
tated. In the various relations of life he
kept the same high stand which distin
guished hint as a lawyer. I knew 'din
well as his preceptor, its his intimate ass"-
t•iate in all the relations of life, and I knew
him to be possessed of qualities which
marked him as no brdinary man. Ile was
generous without a spark of ostentation in
his charity ; ne could not see en tiering with
out relieving it, but he obeyed the Scripture
precept to the letter, and dill not allow his
left hand to know what was done by his
right. I could not say less than I lia,
done; I can not say more—and I leave to
others the pleasing task of eulogizing the
brother whose death Wl' SO deeply lament.
David If. Eshleman, Esq., moved that a
committee of seven he appointed to draft
resolutions expressive ,Ji the sentiments of
I the Bar, and spoke as follows :
In Making the motion, sir, I desire to say
a few words, but t e ar my deep emotions
will hinder their utterance. I knew Isaac
E. I I jester well knee: hint when a student,
boarded w slit him at the sect: table fur
many years in our bachelor days, was in
timately associated with him prof'essional
ly and soeially from the first days of our
Liegtiaintalice Mail the moment of his
death. NO words are too strong to express
my regard for his high character,or to pic
ture him forth as a model to be inlitated by
i the younger lawyers of the profession he
loved so well and adorned so completely.

rapid' V in his profession and continu,l to
be the sumo diligent business man and
hard student after he had reached the top
most round of the ladder. Graduating at
Yule College with high honors, and admit
ted to the Bar in ISIS, he was made Deputy
Attorney for the Commonwealth in 15-is
and elected to Congress in 1'62. After one
terns or acceptahle service in the National
Legislature he returned to his profession,
and continued to follow it diligently, la
boriously and with distinguished success
to the day when he was stricken down in
I the midst of his work. His sovial qualities
endeared hint to all who knew him well,
, and his unostentatious charities were is
ide
ly distributed. Unable to articulate a word
from the time he was stricken he died
i calmly and apparently without suffering.
By his death We have lost a brother who
was dear to us, and the community a citi-
=ll
t lqckey seconded the motion
of Mr. Eshlenrin sottoking with marked
feeling its follows:

- The anticipations of his inost
anxious friends \vent more than realized.
I remember, w hen we were both mere boys
at this liar, how he looked lorward with a
'mid ambition :in.! eager expectation. We
traveled this county together in those day,:

his creed. NO man scans° was hindered,
or delayed from inalice,or for lucre by hint.
Ile kept his lightest promises sacred, and
was especially careful to do so if they aright
be to the advantage of his opponent or to
his own prejudice. Not gifted with that
genius which startles by flashes of daz
zling brilliancy, he possessed high talent
and a patient industry beyond most of
men. Ile always brought complete prep-
:ration to the trial of his causes, a n d
was equally distinguished for that a heti,
er ho appeared before a jury or a court
of the last resort. This trait of char
acter was the more remarkable as he was
not impelled t labor be necessity. lie
was always actuated by a desire to discharge
his duty conscientiously. lie was a wor

has given to Pennsylvania its best (lover

iyed the hospitalities of his father's house.
While yet a lad Our departed brother fore
shadowed all that wits realized in his life.
Ile exhibited at a very early age the talent
and industry for which he was afterward
so distinguished. With temptations to ease
and indulgence which few men meet, lie
devoted himself most assiduously to the
profession he loved. In his practice liefide
this Court lie was always the courteous gen
tleman, in private life bland and kind. I
sometimes urged him to relax his toil; but
he would reply that it was better to wear
Out than to be laid by to rust, ingloriously.
I remember him as Deputy Attorney-Gen
eral, just after he CHM e to the Bar, and lie
then exhibited the same talent anti careful
preparation of his causes. A bright and
shining light has been extinguished, and
we shall all miss him, especially the young

nished an example worthy of all imitation.
E. H. Yundt, Esq., spoke as follows:
Mr. Chairman, a sense of duty, rather
than a desire to do so,prompts me to say a
word in relation to our deceased friend.—
As one of the younger men at the Bar, of
whom your Honor has spoken, I feel call
ed upon to speak in their behalf. Mr.
Hiester took a deep interest in all the young
men, and especially in those who had re
ceived their instructions in the law under
his guidance. He made frequent inquiries
Irom me about their habits and prospects,
and left no opportunity pass to assist them
in the trials and difficulties to which they
were subjected; and he did this in such a
kindly way as to leave them under no sense
of obligation. While this was his conduct to

wards all the young men of the Bar, there
Is in the breasts of some or us a peculiar
sense of gratitude for his kindness an 1
confidence that will, I hope, remain there
forever. Other gentlemen have spoken or
his abilities and talents as a lawyer. I recog
nize the truth of these eulogiums and en
dorse every word spoken here in their
praise. It was my privilege to know the
warmer side of his character, and I desire
to bear witness to the depth of his feelings
and the warmth of his friendship. Though
a man of strong, almost better prejudices.
he confined the unfavorable exhibition of
them to a dignified reserve, and never de
signed to utter an unkind word of anyone;
on the other hand eo one se Well knew
how to be a warm, consistent and un
swerving friend. lie was not in any le
spect. an ostentatious man. There was a
simplicity about his character, to those who
knew him well,that was almost child-like.
Ile was too honest and too earnest to in
dulge in display of any kind. He was an
eminently charitable man. He frequently
remarked, that he could not bear the sight
of distress. But he delighted to do good
by stealth, and it has frequently struck me
that be took more pains and displayed more
tact in concealing his good acts and kind
intentions than bad men do in eoncealing
their evil doings. No one but the recipi
ents have any idea ofthe extent of his char
itable donations, Stricken down before
the star of his fame had reached its zenith ;
denied the tranquil shades of the evening
or life—that haven of rest to which a:1 10,k
forward—he lots left an example to us
younger men, that will not only elevate the
character of the great and noble profession
in which we are engaged, but will be rich
in success to those who have the wisdom
to follow it. Though deeply mourning his
pi s s, I reel some eonsolation, and a deep
sense of gratitude, in the tact that' it was
My fortunate lot ior more than ten years,
to enjoy the privilege of his rich instrue-
Den and gifted intercourse. During that
nine he was toy guide and counsellor, and
I feel an honest pride in sating that he was

W. W. Brewn matte the IMMtving
remarks:
From the kdose relations of intimacy and
friendship existing between Mr. Mester
and myself, and extending over a period of
more than a quarter of a century, Actin well
be conceived what emotions fill my own
breast at tins sad bereavement. The sud
den oisruption of ties, early formed and
iong continued, are well calculated to touch
the seals of the heart s deeper welk, and to
awaken thonsands of ',hose pleasant
iuri
dents of eat ly associalidani, w filch time had
nearly effared from the tal lets 01 memory.
I cannot, however, forego the present occa
sion, to render that tribute to his manors
whiull his kindness to me as a friend, his
talents as a lawyer, his acquirements as a
scholar, and his integrity as a citizen pre
eminently demand from me, who owe to
hits a debt of -Tatitude. It was lily lot and
pleasure to haves had opportunities of
knowing Mr. Hiester as well Its one man
can know another. 1 we, his first law
student, commencing the study ,d the law :
at the same time he commenced its practice.
I had the pleasure of witnessing the rise,
progress and development of his reputa
tion, as well among the members of this
!tar, as among the community generally,
and I but express the public voice in
saying, that lie stood in the Vei y first
rank in the community as a citizen;
in the front rank at this liar which
was the field of his labor; and in
the first rank with the men of his own
age as a Representative in the Congress of
the United States. M r.II iester acquired em
inenveat au early period of life; and, aside
from the adventitious circumstances by
whieh he seas surrounded. he was indebted
for much:of that eminence to an individual
ity of character ,peculiarly his own. llis
manners were easy, cordial anti affable.
II is address so winning, that a stranger was
captivated at the first salutation. Those
personal qualities were sustained by those
of the mind—all solid, practical, and devo
ted to the business pursuits of life. liorn
to fortune and to high social position, and
inheriting a name well anti familiarly
known throughout the county anti State,
lie had in addition received all the educa
tional advantages the best institutions of
learning:throughout the States could) bestow
The possession of all these gifts would
have satisfied the ambition of most. men.
But not so with him. Ile entered the lists,
determined to hew his way to distinction in
the legal fortumhy the only means by which ,
true and lasting reputation and renown can •
be eriisired in tiny pursuit—patient and
untiring application to labor and study.—
Such words ie4 a finished education in any
department of learning hail no plate in his
vocabulary. Front the day of his
sion to the Bar, until stricken down in his
last illness, the same lofty ambition to ex
eel iu his profession prompted every
thought, feeling, and sentiment of his ex
istenee. Ile Was seriously endowed. Ilk
mind acted with promptness and rapidity.
A writer, a speaker, and in 1•011milliel.1011 a
safe adviser and coini,ellor—varied as
wire his mental endowments, :Intl assidu
ously as he had cultivated all his ititellec
tual faculties, it vantiot justly be said that
he possessed any Menial rlieranierieiirti of
such dazzling, brilliancy as are sontrtiwes
OUllll—bUtielly 6,undani,m4,t themarv.ds
of nature and genius. ISta he possessed
that comitinatbm of mental and moral qual

, genius itself. Ile possesstsl a patient in
dustry that never nagged ; an application
in labor by which he surineunted every

a continuity of thought that enabled him un

U. W. Patterson, Esq., made extended
remarks wineh we are compelled, reluct
antly, to condense. Ile said:
Early and late association on the 1110,1
intimate terms render it a painful duty Mr
me to say something on this mournful oc
casion. Isaac E. Mester and I were boys
together at school. There he displayed tine
same qualities which so distinguislkod him
in mature lire. Ile studied while others
phxyed, and the teachers were reryireil to
caution him against too close app ication.
We boarded together in our bachelor days
and he was always a most genial compan•
ion. His father was distinguished, and
was warmly supported by the people
of this county. Eleven days ago the de

said :
The death of Mr. Blaster was not known
to me until an hour ago, but it is a sad
event we have all been anticipating since
he was stricken down. I shall only add a
few words to what has been sail. I have
known the deceased longer, perhaps. than
ally one present. I was educated with his
father and knew his grandfather. 1 knew
the decew,ed when be was a scholar at
of which school I was a trustee.
Ile then displayed the qualities which so
distinguished him in nu - mimed. Being
the only son of Wealthy parents, they
were naturally anxious about his career.
Ilk father destMed him I'ar the liar, but I
fancied than he might be tempted to turn
aside front its exacting and laborious re
quirements. I supposed he 5011111 d prefer
to enjoy his ample fortune without encoun
tering the severe labor which must be pa
tiently endured by every one who would
rise to eminence at the Bar. Contrary to
my expectations he privet] to be in love
with his profession. Ile beeame one of
the very best lawyers in the State, and his
success was as complete as his most anx
ious friends could have desired. Ile seas a
model of gentlemanly deportment in this
Court, and always displayed that courtesy
toward opposing counsel and client which
is so admirable. In all things as a lawyer
be was worthy of imitation. This Bar has
met with an irreparable Inca, and the corn
munity at large one of the best and purest
citizens.,
E. C. Reed, Esq., spoke as follows:
As one of the youngest members of this
Rar I can not refrain from paying a passing
tribute to my legal preceptor, my kind ad
viser, my friend. From the day when I
entered his oftice,until his death. I a,ked no
favor, requested no advice, which was not
freely tendered. It is sad to think that we
shall no more hear hiseloquent voice re
sounding through this Hall of Justice. His
persuasive tongue is still, his charitable
heart has ceased to beat, his well ordered
mind no longer labors. Standing by his clay
cold corpse we can truly say, here lies all
that is left of God's noblest work—an hon
