Los PNos AGENCY, Col, Nov. 90, via
Lake City, Col, Nov. 27.-At the meet
Ing Of the commission this morning, Gu
Say reported the arrival last night OF a
Gunner from Douglas Camp, with infor-
snation that, owing to tile advance of the
troops, the Uintahs had left the agency
and the reservation to join Douglas, pre-
Jared to fight; that the White RIVER Utes
decline to return, and Jack sends word
le will not come here until the Uintahs
trouble is settled. If this IS true, the
work Of the commission is ended for the
present. Some of the commission doubt
the report, believing it ruse to gain
time, or that the Mormons are at the bot
tom Of it.
CoLLTNdwooD, Ont, Nov. 26.-The
tug Mary Ann returned this evening
from the scene of the wreck Of the steam
CT Waubuno with portions of the upper
works, several mattresses, and other ar
ticles oil of which are known to have
belonged to the Inflated steamer. After
making thorough and diligent search
for two days, and finding nothing of the
crew or passengers, Mr.. L. Long, secre-
tary of the Georgia Bay Transportation
company, who was on board the Mary
Ann, gives it as his opinion that the
Waubuno foundered between Hope Is
lands and Lone Rock, and that all on
board have persisted. The fact of not
finding the remains of the three boats,
leads it to be supposed that she sunk
almost instantly, and before the boats
could be got out of the davits.
WAUPAcA, Nov. 26.-The continued
cold weather which has followed cur
previous heavy rains has placed the roads
and marshes in a splendid condition for
snow. The prospects were never bright
er for prosperous winter than at pres
ent. Crews of lumbermen pass through
the city daily en- route for the pineries,
and large quantities of supplies are fol-
lowing. Men and teams are in good de-
mand and contracts are beng made for
the season at better rates than were offer
ed last winter. A frmer feeling pervades
the minds of lumbermen, and they are
taking hold of business in a manner that
shows they are sanguine Of success
Mills in the small streams that have not
been running for some time past have
changed hands and the new proprietors
will fit them up for next seasons work.
Pine land is being inquired for more
than it has for years and that near the
rivers is locking up little in prices
On the line of the Wisconsin Central
railroad north, preparations are active
and the little towns located thereon are
smiling at the securing good times that
are dawning upon them. If we have
plenty of snow in Central and Northern
Wisconsin it will be q God-send to
thousands of needy.
New YORK, November 25.-One of the
largest fires, for some time past in this
city took place this morning. Shortly
before seven o'clock fire was discovered
in the stables of the Eighth Avenue
horse car railroad, and Notwithstanding
that within five minutes the discovery
fully forty streams of water were turned
upon the blazing building it was only
when there was nothing further for the
flames to feed upon that the firemen OBJ
tanned the mastery. The stables were in
four story brick building fronting 300
feet on Eighth avenue, and 400 feet on
Forty ninth and Fiftieth streets. In the
rear on the Ninth avenue side, was a
Wilderness of carpenter and wagon shops
and mountain of old barrels, many
thousands stacked TO the height of thirty
or forty feet. These were saved by the
efforts of firemen, who from the begin
ming specially directed their efforts to
this point to prevent a general confagra-
ton among the tenement houses on
Ninth avenue. Almost before move
mont to save the stock in the building
could be made, the flames burst stimuli
taneously from the windows on the Fiji
tieth and Forty-ninth street sides. 1t
became clear that the building was doom
Cd to destruction. Cars stored on the
ground floor were run ont and saved.
Horses stalled on the upper floor were
united and run down an inclined plane
to the ground. There were nearly 500,
and the work of getting them out was
one of great difficulty and danger.
Blinded by smoke and frightened by the
times they kicked and reared and over
10 had to be abandoned to destruction.
Their piteous whinnying could be heard
above the roar Of the flames. The three
upper floors were one vast sheet of fire.
The loss IS estimated at about $3.50, 600:
insurance ST., 900.
