| FAIR or THE GUARD or THE COMMON
wEALTH.-The interest excited IN the voting
for the poieeman's badge. and the silver
service To be awarded 10 the best fire COM
paDy In the city, was intense among the
| friends OF the contestants for the respective
prizes.
The vote for the policemaD's badge re-
suite in the choice OF Policeman Skinner
as the most efficient policeman in the city.
Mr.. skinner received 217 votes. 1t Is need
less 10 say that the bonOr Is most merited,
and certainly appreciated by that efficient
officer.
The vote for the silver service resulted in
favor OF the Brond-street companies, Cap
tains Minor and Phillips. The vote was
close in these instaL ces, and the interest
manifested intense.
Tonight The Fair will close. Apart from
the fact that the ballots for The flag, sword
and teachers library will be closed, an ad-
dItional attraction will be the appearance Of
the Animal Qua1etie. The amusement
that this band OF mirth-prOvOking musi.
ciaDs have afforded at the Mozlrt muSicdLes
on several occasions will be sufficient TO at
tract a large crowd at the Fair tonight.
AT the auction, which will be had imme.
diately after the close OF the Fair, large
number OF fancy and useful articles will be
disposed OF.
Miss Mary Thaw on wednesday night
was the recipient Of the bracelet awarded
to the most pOpular young lady IN the fair
room. Tonight il is expected that quite a
number Of young ladies, or rather their
friends, will compete for this prize.
The vote, as indicated from the latest re-
turns, indicates a close run between Cap

WASHINGTON May l3.-Represen
tative II. John Ellis, of Louisiana,
has prepared the sub committees re-
port Of the bill to extend the Pacific
land grant. The report is adverse to
the bill, and is joined in by Ellis and
Harmer, Of Pennsylvania, while Well
born, of Texas, and other members Of
the subcommittee will prepare a
minority report. The report of the
majority finds that the land grant
should not be extended, because, first,
the company has not bull: any part
of its road in California or Arizona.
in which the land grant is situH
ated, although the charter pro
vided that construction should begin
simultaneously at San Diego, Califor-
MIA, and Marshall, Texas. Moreover.
very substantial aid has been received
from the state Of Texas, ia which all
the work of construction has been
done. Second, another road, the
Southern Pacific, has been constructed
directly through the lard grant of the
Texas Pacific without government
aid, but entirely at public expense.
and it would be unjust to that com
pany for the government to subsidiZe
a competing road. Third, the request
of the company shows that it will not
be ready to complete its road for ten
years to come, and it would be unwise
and impolitic to shut to actual settlers
the eighteen million acres Of land in
yolved in the grant question.

Sudden Death Of Hon. Sanford
Il. Church, of New York.

ALBION, n. Y, May 14.-Chief
Justice Sanford i. Church died sud
denly at his residence here at four
o'clock this afternoon, of apoplexy.
He had, been slightly indisposed for
several days, and last evening com
planned Of feeling quite unwelI. He
went to his Office as usual this morning
to write an opinion. Alter dinner,
upon returning to his Office, he stepped
into the Orleans county national bank
and while there he was taken with a
pain in the chest. He was driven to
his residence, and, alighting from his
carriage, went to his room without
assistance. A physician was at once
summoned, who found him in terrible
pain, and before medical aid could be
administered Judge Church struggled
somewhat, turned slightly purple, fell
over on his side and died. His last
words were about his pain. Never
has this community experienced such
a shock, as Judge Church was beloved
by all.
