q difficult thing. and now engages
Gen Crooks attention. A route will
be decided upon In q few days. from
some point on the Union Pacific raa~
way. The post, a q Herald represent

viii be located near the Indian reserva-
tion, the lines Of which the commission
will fix in a few days. Four companies
of the Sixth infantry, now in camp at
Cheyenne. whose destination is the site
of the new post, viii be the FIRST de-
tachment sent in. and will doubtless
remain at the post during the winter.
The buildings, either temporary or per-
manent, may be built by winter. There
Is abundant timber within easy reach
and good water. and the troops will be
enabled to make themselves comforta-
BILE in the quarters which they construct.
They may very likely erect 'jackels, -
which are log huts. chinked and rooted
with mud. A saw mill and other ma
chinery is ready to start for the post
the moment its site and the route are
determined. Regarding climate, it
may be said that the region round
about the junction of White and Green
rivers is rigorous, but 80 dry that the
troops will not suffer SO much from ex-
tremes as they would in a more humid
climate. Captain Hay. the acting as
sistant adjutant general, spent eight
months in that locality, and while the
command were living in tents the Their
mometer ranged as low as SOC below

There was sent out from this city
yesterday a train made up of ten cars
Of government mules, five cars Of
wagons. two cars Of forage, one car Of
baggage and q passenger coach. The
train was accompanied by twenty-nint
teamsters and the wagon master, al
bound for Park City, Utah. to trans
port supplies from that point to the new

Sundays blaze.

A little before i've O'Clock Sunday
afternoon the violent whistling of the
pony engine announced the discovery Of
a fire. The alarm was taken up by the
fire bell and the apparatus of the va
rious companies vas soon at hand The
flames appeared from tho rear of the
little dwelling on Sixteenth street.
owned by Mrs. N. r. Davis. The real
Of the building. whence the flames first
appeared was occupied by q colored
family for q dwelling and laundry. The
front rooms Of the house were occupied
by win Saunders and wife, musicians
at Chase's theater. The flames spread
very rapidly and flied the little wooden
structureso that little or no furniture
raj removed. although several trunks
were taken from the front rooms. The
The flames from this building had al
ready communicated to the adjoining
one. occupied by Mrs. Patterson and
family. when the Clarks got the first
stream Of water on the blaze. They
were followed by the Hooks with the
Babcock and the Alerts, and through
the united efforts Of all, the blaze was
soon brought under control and extin-
guished. The Davis building was
pretty thoroughly charred throughout
and being a small house, what Is left, is
not of much account. The contents
were destroyed or damaged severely by
water. except such articles as were re-
moved before the flames had spread.
The second building, owned by Richard
Proudfoot, a be easily repaired. The
only damage to the contents is that done
In removing the furniture. There was
a fire In the stove in the rear Of the
building In which the flames originated,
and 1t il supposed that through some
carelessness in closing 1t, the fire
communicated with the woodwork dur
ing the absence of the occupants. Some
think that the little boy of the family,
living there, in playing with the fire as
he is won't to do, set the flame. The
former idea, however, seems to be the
correct one.

MILITARY

Inspector General Marcy, U. S. A.,
passed through Cheyenne last Sunday,
en- route for northern Wyoming on a
hunting expedition.
Col. Thomas Wilson, U. S. A., the
genial and efficient chief commissary of
subsistence of the department of the
Platte. has just completed a tour OF
inspection of the several military sta
tions under his supervision. He reached
Cheyenne from Fort Laramie last Sun
day, and will return to department
headquarters to-day.
A detachment Of twenty men, de-
tailed from the battalion Of the Sixth
infantry, went west yesterday af-
ternoon on No. 8, en- route to Park City,
Utah, as q guard for supplies there.
The detachment was under the CON-
mand Of Lieut.. Wetherill.
Considerable activity is manifested at
Fort Omaha in constructing and re-
modelling the quarters of the post. The
garrison lately having been increased to
three companies, the four buildings for
company quarters have been remodeled.
Three new residences for field officers
are going up on the avenue west Of the
parade. Two old double residences
have been torn down and two others
remodeled. The employees Of the head
quarters building are beginning to take
up carpets and prepare for removing
into the new headquarters building in
the city.-Omaha Herald.
1t is q fitting custom that new mill
tary posts are named in honor of the
memory of some gallant officer Of the
department who has fallen in action,
and Gen. Crook pays q just tribute to
the memory of the lamented Major
Thornburgh, in naming the new post
In Utah Fort Thornburgh, the nomlra
tion, Of course, being subject to the
approval Of the secretary Of war.
Fort Thornburgh is to be located
near the junction Of the White and
Green rivers in northeastern Utah. The
precise location is to be determined by
the boundaries Of the new Ute reserva-
tion-mainly the old Uintah-which
the Indian commission will fix. It will
be borne in mind that the White river
Utes are to be taken out Of Colorado
and transferred to this reservation; the
Uncompahgres are also to be brought
here from Colorado, and the Uintahs
remain.
The commission has been out in that
region for some time, selecting the 10
cation Tor the transfer Of all the Utes,
according to the treaty lately made in
Washington. The place fixed upon by
the Interior department IS in n rather
| inaccessible part of tho country. There

AT o'clock Wednesday afternoon the
United States snagboat, General Bernard, a
well appointed and speedy craft, left st.
Louis for the south, having aboard dis
tinguished party, comprising members of
the Mississippi River Commission, ap-
pointed by the government, which has its
permanent headquarters in st. Louis. The
gentlemen go for an official inspection of
the river between st. Louis and the mouth
of Red river They will be absent about
three weeks. The party is composed of
Gen, Gilmore, Gen c. B. Comstock Maj,
Sutter and Lieut., S. s, Leech, of the United
States Engineering Corps; Maj. Harrod,
civil engineer; Prof. Henry Mitchell, Of the
United States Coast Survey, and Mr.. Taylor,
of Indiana, who succeeds Senator Harrison,
of Indiana, as a member of the commission
1t was originally intended to depart on the
l4th inst, and Capt. Eads intended accom-
panyng the commission, but the early
start, and the enormous amount of private
business he has on hand prevented him
from carrying out the idea. AS appeared
