The thunder and hail-storm which
passed over this city on Saturday after
noon, was the severest ever expe-
rienced here; considerable damage
was done to property and vegetation
in this city, the ranchmen especially
suffering severely. Two horses were
struck by lighting during the storm,
n few rods south of the round-house,
one OF them being killed instantly and
the other paralized. The city for
a time was submerged the water
rushing through the streets in great
torrents; a rather novel sight for the
people of n dry country.

IAN important decision has just
been made by the Supreme Court of
Dakota Territory OH the Indian ques-
ton. Under the law of Congress of
1854, parties were liable to punishment
for selling liquor to Indians whether
on or off their reservation. Compilers
of the United States statutes, in Sec
ton 2,l39, changed the language so rs
to make IL doubtful whether liable
anywhere except on Indian reserva-
tions. Judge Shannon, in the United
States District Court, on habees cor
pus, having held parties liable for Civ
ing whisky to Indians away from their
reservation, an appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court, which unaui-
mously affirmed his decision.

from banks. insurance companies and private in

STATE AND RAILROAD BONDS.
In the former department. the business was only
moderate and confined chiefly to Tennessee, Vlr-
gina and North Carolina issues. A slight advance
was marked in the two former, owing TO Legs
lative action in the respective states looking both
to retrencnment and the payment OF interest In
railroad bonds the most notable advance took
place in Pacl1cs. Chicago and Northwestern
seven per cent consols also advanced. O., Q. and
|. O. hrsts declined the Pennsylvania Railroad
having failed TO pay the interest on the same.
