Reno Items.

From the State Journal Of September 10TH
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning
the barn of Mr.. John Kleppe with Its
contents was destroyed by fire. Mr..
Kleppe has n ranch OH the Truckee
Meadows, a short distance below
Glendale. on the north side Of the
Truckee River, where this conflagra-
tion occurred. One hundred and
twenty-five tons Of hay were burned,
Of which about eighty were already
baled. Three horses. In the barn at
the time, were burned to death, be-
sides a number Of farming implements
were also destroyed. The total loss
will exceed $5.00U. We feel sorry for
Mr.. Kleppe, as there was no insurance.
The fire Is supposed TO have been the
work Of an incendlary.
Poe, the ir~represslble founder Of
"Poe City," and millionaire prospec-
tive, found a bee tree near Peavlne the
other day. The boys there inform US
that he secured their help to cut 1t
down, after which lie picked out the
dead bees and wax, which he left for
their share, taking for his own
some sixty pounds Of pure honey.
The boys wouldn't stand It, and while
sleep was gently stealing over the
form of Poe. they corralled the good
honey themselves. When Poe awoke
to a realization of the true state Of al
faira, he was very wrothy, and called
for pistols and coffee for nine."

Ir Ia announced by the Iowa Repub-
lican Committee that Senator Logan
Of Illinois will not make any speeches
in that State, aud that his appoint
ments have been Cancelled. Perhaps
the protests Of some Of the Iowa Re-
publican papers against his appearance
with his back pay In his pocket has In
duced him to remain at home. Or 1t
may be that Senator Morton's expert
ence In Ohio has discouraged him. At
any rate his absence will promote rath-
or than injure the chances OF electlng
the Republican ticket In that State.

PARTING WITH A PASTOR.

After twenty years Of missionary labor among
the Catholics Of Hoboken the aged pastor, Rev. A.
Cauvin, takes lasting farewell OF his flock to-day
and leaves by the French steamer for Italy, to re-
turn no more. When the news OF his falling health
and intended departure became known his parish
toner's determined to tender him q few substantial
tokens OF regret and grateful remembrance. As
the school children were the especial objects OF his
affections they were the first to bring him memen-

emotion, he thanked the members OF his flock for
their good gifts and the gratitude which they always
displayed towards him. Then the members OF the

gave him $500. Nor was this the end. The ladies

Members OF the Brooklyn police force and small

siderably excited during the past few days over
the subject OF appointments and removals by the

three members-General Jourdan (Presdent,
Daniel d. Briggs and James L. Jensen. II was
pretty generally understood that they would
make many changes and yesterday, when the
majority of their appointments were announced
1t was found that the changes were more numerous
than had been expected The Board reappointed
John 5. Folk inspector, but took no action In the
case OF Chief Campbell, who is now absent on his
tral office. Mr.. Charles s. Frost, member OF

The complainant emphatically protested against
an increase OF $4,000 in the valuation OF his
property during the past year. Many OF his houses
are vacant and bring in no revenue, and many Of
them were in such locations that tenants will only
consent to occupy. them at very low rentals. In
some instances 1t will be many years before the
property will nave appreciated so that fair in
come can be derived from It,
Supervisor McCanerty then questioned Mr..
Mccormack as to the locations Of some of his

some houses and lots on Fourth avenue he learned
that the Fourth avenue "improvement" has so OBJ

Supervisor KOCH announced that the committee
would now adjourn until the 25th instant. He
said the committee had now assumed the labor Of
a three weeks session in order to enable property
owners to present the facts IN relation to their
property, and he had no doubt that II the com
tinue to come in. He was perfectly willing to fulfil
his whole duty in the matter but for the past three
every legal working day, and the committee, he
thought, was entitled to brief respite. He could
not at present say what course would be decided
on when the committee reassembled: but II was
quite likely they would receive additional com.
plants. SO far however, as the object Of this In
would be merely cumulative, as ne thought It had
been demonstrated amply that the system OF as
sessment was erroneous and subject to great
abuse and the infection Of injustice on property
owners. He did not mean to claim any special
credit for himself or his colleague In this matter,
nor did they desire In any way to monopollze
the business OF investigation He believed that the
members OF the Board OF supervisors generally,
upon their reassembiing In September. would
evlnce desire to go thoroughly over the whole
subject in other wards OF the city, and thought IL
would result In much good.
Supervisor Koch thought 1t would be advisable
when this committee comes together again on the
25th to open the sessions for fcw days additional
80 as to allow property owners now out of the city
an opportunity to be heard and to present their
complaints, and the committee then adjourned.

MementO OF the Court House Commission.
The Old subject, the CLAIMS Of the Tenth National
Bank against the city for $242,57o "a. alleged to
have been advanced to the Court House Commits
sioners, was argued yesterday at length in this
Court. The matter came up on application made
several months ago for peremptory mandamus
against the Comptroller, directing him to pay the
amount named.
Mr.. A. r. Lawrence, for the bank, said that the
case was before Judge Barrett in June, 1872 when
he referred 1t to eX-Judge Holman to ascertain
what amounts were in the hands VI the Comptro!-
Ter applicable to this claim and what advances
were made on the part or the bank in good faith
and directed that IN case ex-yudge Holman found
that the advances were made In good faith he
make payment from the amount unexpended In his
hands. The referee reported that in his opinion
such advances were made in good faith, and that
at the time OF Judge Barrett's decision there was
$4,000 unexpcnded In the hands OF the Comptroller
Comptroller had subsequently paid $4,000, leaving
$i4, 0O0 Mr.. Lawrence upon these facts moved, in
pursuance Of Judge Barretts order, that the Comp
troer be directed to pay either $50 900 or $4,000,
as the Court might determine.
MIR. Strahan, Tor the Comptroller, said that the
General Term of the Supreme Court had decided
that the Comptl oil had no authority to issue
Court House bones without che CONSENT Of the

though Judge Barrett had referred the matter for
the purpose Of TAXING proS' as TO ane gsod a na Oh
that the $780, 900 authorized to be raised had all
been paid out by the Comptroller under peremp-
Mr.. Lawrence asserted that this money had not
been expended. and that many OF the payments
enumerated by Mr.. Strahan were made long prior
to Judge Barrett's decision.
Mr.. Strahan argued that mandamus would not
issue against paying officer unless he had funds
In his hands Or the pow er to raise them. The ale-
CATION OF bad faith had not been disproved.
Mr.. Lawrence claimed that the matter was res
Gdjudicdta by the decision OF Judge Barrett.

The Case OF DIR. Bancker.
Application was made yesterday by Mr.. William
r. Howe for writs of habeas corpus and certiorarl
in the case OF DR.. William W. Bancker whose case
has been heretofore fully reported in the HERALD.
The application was asked on the ground that
there had been no evidence thus far developed
upon which he could be held. The nquisition OF
Deputy Coroner Cushman, 1t was insisted, had
clearly shown that no abortion had ever been per-
petrated upon the wife Of the accused by instru-
ments nor had 1t been shown that either drugs,
medicines or potions had been administered to her
by her husband. Judge Pratt granted the writs,
but they will not be served until the Coroners in
vestigation is over. Mr.. Howe claimed that a
chemical analysis will prove that the idea OF the
wife Of the prisoner having been poisoned is
absurd,
