The market price for hogs is on the
decline. Whether this will be perma-
nent, is uncertain. The ruling price has
certainly been high and it is claimed
that the number of hogs in the country
turns out to be much greater than was
supposed. AT all the western packing
points, except Cincinnati, the number Of
hogs slaughtered this year to date, is in
excess OF last year at the same time.

Of the burning Of the emigrant ship Cos

kept together for two days, when gale

Prof. Braun, of Atlanta, Ga. She has fallen
heir to an immense estate in Canada.
There are sixteen heirs and SIC, 100000, all
inherited from Mrs. Arnetta'S maternal
rrandsire, who was once ''GOvernOr-
General of Canada The estate has been
converted into cash, and is at present de-
posited in the Bank of England awaiting
Inc checks of the heirs. The money is to

Willie in Nashville, he devoted coIisid-
cradle poftion of his time TO circulating
that story about his wife's fortune, and one
morning burst in on his class with a face
,eaming with excitement, and saying that
the matter had been settled and that his
wife had received $4,000 gold the night
before. which sum he had Invested IN Gov
eminent securities that morning.
= At one time he was up to his ears IN
business, organizing party to attend the
Vienna Exposition, and made hosts of
friends by promising to secure an unlimi-
ted number of tickets for free passage, as
he said he had cousin who was agent for
one of the principal lines OF ocean steam
ers. but, somehow, those tickets were
never delivered, and the Vienna EXPOSE
ton went by the board.
Meanwhile, he met with some degree OF
success as a teacher, and finally succeeded
in organizing several classes. Then he
made arrangements to shake Nashville aud
his confding pupils. Securing payment
in advance from number of the gentle
men he was teaching, he put his effects in
portable shape, took night train and van
ished, leaving to mourn his departure a

Last night, about half-past eleven O'Clock,
the clothing store No. IS North Cherry
street was discovered to be on fire. The
engines answered the alarm promptly, and
the flames were soon eXtinSuished. An
examination Of the premises revealed the
fact that pine boards had been split up and
piled against a couple of empty boxes at
the rear of the store, near the back door,
and il was at this point the fire originates
The store is occupied by Casper AarOnson,

HOW IN STANDS.
The CIaisa Agent Of the Methodist Pub.
fishing House On the Status OF ITS
Isig Claim la Congress.


Big Claim in Congress.
4 representative of this paper fell in,
Yesterday, with DIR. Abbey, Claim Agent
of the Methodist Publishing House, who
had Just returned from Washington, and had
a conversation with him about the stains
ofthe Publishing House claim IN Congress.
DIR. Abbey represented that claim during
the last session Of Congress as well as the
previous session.
The amount for which the claim is laid
is $4J0, 1000, or whatever sum Congress may
deem just and equitable, as compensation
for the use of the Publishing House by the
Federal authorities during .hs years 1854
and 1865, and for the removal and destrue-
ton or sale of materials. The claim was
made out in August, 1872, and presented
10 Congress at the following session. Il
was then barred from the Court of Claims
by the statute Of limitation, six years
having expired from the close Of the war,
and it was on this account that it had to
come directly before Congress. 1t was
presented in both Houses and referred to
the Committee ON War Claims. DIR Alb
bey had an understanding with the chair
man of the Senate Committee, that the
committee should await the action Of the
House Committee. AMI directed his efforts
toward urging the claim before the lat
ter committee.
During last year the petition Of the Pub
fishing House managers was greatly
strengthened by memorials aud other petit
tions firm influential sources throughout
the United States. DR.. Abbey states that
he procured the names of more than 125
members of Congress. Judges and Cover
- Io,di,.,, - i,arrc Of fOxt-ue
I'm twenty odd States, favorable to payment
of the claim, besides the endorsement of
four Legislatures, and Of all the Judges OF
the Supreme Court Of Tennessee, and
expressions of approval from the MethO-
dist denomination North and South. He
was assured on all hands that his was the
strongest petition ever presented to Con-
gress.
The House Committee failed to report
on the claim till about the close of the SeS-
sion, when a majority report was made and
no less than three minority reports. The
majority reported adversely to the claim.
DR.. Abbey says it was understood
that not the slightest intlnation ever ema-
mated from the committee Of an objection
to the Justice or intrinsic merit OF the claim.
The chairman of the committee gave it out
that the opposition to the claim was based
ON the technical objection that the Govern
ment was not legally liable to settle it. 1t
was generally believed TO be the studied
policy Of the committee to stave off settle
ment of war claims for the present, on ac-
count of the poverty Of the Treasury.
Dr. Abbey thinks That the claim which
lac represents is in as good condition, has
as gOOdprospects Of adjustment as any before
the committees of claims. He thinks that pa
thence is necessary and that when the Gov
eminent gets able to make just reparation,
Congress will not longer delay doing jus
tiee in the matter.
