Fargo Cd. t. Argus-l
This entire community has just been
saddened by one of those terrible mis-
takes that are constantly occurring in
every part of the country, but from
which Fargo has until now had blessed
exemption.
Thursday afternoon, while all the lit.
tie city was engaged in the festivities of
Thanksgiving Day, while dinner parties
were being given, and merry groups
we're gathered around many hospitable
board: while preparations were going
on for their theater parties, festivals
and concerts in the evening, a heart
rending tragedy was being enacted at
one of our most popular hotels. A taIr
Young girl in all tho bloom and beauty
of Iife's golden morning was innocently
and carelessly booming herself to death
Miss Ada Price, aged q years, was
sister of Mrs. Joe Lamont, of the Head
quarters Hotel. Thursday afternoon,
having occasion to take little magnesla,
or powdered chalk, she by some awful
fatality made mistake and swallowed
arsenic instead. Her sister, Mrs. La
mont. was herself confined to her room
by sickness, so that the frightful error
was not discovered for four hours.
Then the sufferings of the hapless girl
had become SO great that there could be
no longer Disgusting of the fact that she
was poisoned. Dr. Rolph was speedily
called IN, and slIarGly aftcf aru DIS.
Darrow and Galloway were summoned,
and all that medical skill could do was
done to save the young life so full OF
promise but every effort was in vain.
The deadly poison had done its work all
too surely. About 4:30 s'clock yester-
dav afternoon the unfortunate girl pass
ed into the great beyond.
Such a case would be sad enough un-
der any circumstances, but many things
conspired to make this one more than
ordinarily pitiful. She had but recent
| " come to Fargo, and had already won
many friends by her intelligence and
unusually amiable and attractive quail
ties. She died among comparative
strangers, though friends; but another
fact lends added poignancy to the sorrow
which her fate must excite. Miss Price
was to have been married ina short time
to Charles Scott, long the leading sur
yeyor in the Black Hills. Last Satur-
day he reached here, full of a strong
mans love and hope. They were to
have gone OH their wedding tour to visit
the home and family of the young bride.

Report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
A SUMMARY OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS
HE MAKES TO CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-In the annual
report of the Secretary of the Treasury,
submitted to Congress to-day, the passage
of a bill authorizing renewal of the char
tiers of National banks upon the expiration
of their corporate existence is recommend
ed.
Relative to the reserve for the redemp-
ton of United States notes, the report says
that it is generally conceded that for safe
banking a reserve of 40 per cent. to meet
current obligations is necessary.
1t is recommended that the act requiring
the issue of silver certificates is considered
very Objectionable in view of any possible
demand for redemption in coin of legal
tender notes. 1t is suggested that Congress
can prohibit national banks from retiring
their currency, except upon previous no
tice, if given; then the question IS raised
whether the notes of the government can
and shall be maintained as legal tender cur
rency since the government resumed pay
ment of its debt in gold and silver coin.
1t is suggested that permanent apPro-
priation be made for the redemption of irac-
tional paper currency outstanding, and tor
the liquidation of the public debt which
matured before 1860, and remains outstand-
ing.
Referring to the payment of the United
States bonds in gold, the report says: Equl-
| tv. if not strict construction OF law, re-
| duires that holders of such bonds should
receive payment thereofin gold or its equiv
alent, and that the Government Is abund-
antly able to discharge its obligations In
money which everywhere is accepted as the
true standard of value.
The report urges, as means OF bringing
| nf REGARD q
bi-metalic standard among different nations
that the United States suspend for the pres
ent the further coinage of silver dollars.
The report calls attention also to the ne
cessity of revising the tariff to meet the
. condition of many branches OF trade. Con
siderable space is devoted to discussion o
the subject of reduction of taxation. Th'
tax on deposits in national banks and upol
their capital, in the judgment of the de
partment, may, with propriety and justice
he lessened whenever it is determined tina
the public revenue exceeds the public needs
There are other minor sources OF lnterna
revenue that might be given up.
The propriety of the establishment OF
new tribunal for the trial of customs case
suggested.
After reviewing the bond operations o
: the wear the report says upon the authorit,
r of men engaged in financial operations tina
, new loan of per cent. would be taken u
=. If il was. by its condition, irredeemabl
save by long term. 1t is recommended
the case of new terms, that long term
payment be given to the bonds.
Among other things the attention of Coz
0ress ia called to the necessity of more oil
rect legislation respecting the quarantlnln
l of foreign cattle.

WHAT MILK WILL Do.-A writer
saws: "If one wishes to grow heshy, a
mint of milk taken before retiring at
night will soon cover the scrawnest
bones. Although nowadays we see
great many heshy females, there are
many lean and lank ones who sigh for
the fashionable measure of plumpness,
and who would be vastly improved in
health and appearance could theirfgures
be rounded with good solid flesh. Moth
ing is more coveted by thin women than
a full figure, and nothing will arouse
the ire and provoke the scandal ofone Of
those clipper builds as the consciousness
of plumpness in a rival. In cases OF
fever and summer complaint milk is now
given with excellent results. The idea
that milk is 'feverish has exploded, and
| it is now the physicians great reliance
in bringing through typhoid patients, or
those in too low state to be nourished
by solid food. 1t is a mistake to scrimp
the milk-pitcher. Take more milk and
buy less meat. Look TO your milkman
have large-sized, well-iilled milk
pitcher on the table each meal, and you
will also have sound flesh and light doc
! tors bills.

A novel wedding of first-elass people
occurred near Macon. A train pulled up
at a station when a couple suddenly stood
up in the aisle ola coach, and there in the
presence of the astonished passengers
were made man and wife the whistle
sounded, and the happy pair sped away
to the exposition at Atlanta. The affair
was not, as would appear at the first
glance, a runaway match. 1t was only
a scheme to avoid the wedding cards,
wedding breakfast, claw-hammer and
white-dress nonsense.

Board of Fire Commissioners.

Bids Opened for the New Engine House
 -The Appropriations InsunfcIent --An
 Additional Amount to be Called For.
 The Board of Fire Commissioners held a special meeting last evening to consider bids for building the new engine house on Howard avenue for Steamer No 1. All the Commis- sioners were present except Mir. Mullen. The bids were as follows:
 Mason work Chatfeld & Grant, $5, ,s2s i; Smith & Sperry, $5,s9o ;-Alien D. Baldwin, $5,4 Bates & Townsend, 5.5s5; John Mannix, $6, E. H. sperry $5,9s7
 The bids for joiner work were as follows Kinney & Phelps, $7, 200; Charles w. Clark, SC, SIS; N. Countryman, $6.37T.50; Larhns 4 Langley, $S.a27; R; T: Merwin, $s,s97 !; $7, 493; William A. Beach, $6, ,965; William P. Dickerman, $6, 425.
 Bids for plumbing were opened as follows |: Henry St. John & Co.,, $443; M. B. Scott, $395 Buckley d5 Kelly, $32O; Broderick & Curtiss, $41s; Foskett $ Bishop, $469.
 It will be seen that the lowest bid for ma son work was by Allen D. Baldwin the low est for joiner work by Larkins & Langley; the lowest for plumbing by Buckley & Kelly.
 The total for the entire work foots up SIP, 121. The Board asked for an appropria- tion for the purpose of building the new en- zine house of $10,O0O, expecting to realize at least $2, 800 by the sale of the old engine house and land. The Board of Finance cut down the estimate from SIG, 1000 to $7, 800. It will be seen that according to the lowest estimates the new engine house cannot be built within the appropriation, and conse- quently the contracts could not be awarded. It is presumed that under the circumstances the Board of Fire Commissioners will ask for an increase of appropriation, as the erection of new house for engine No. seems to be immediately reQuired

 The annexation question continues the pre- vailing topic, and the fever for annexation extends over all sections of the borough. The annexationists are not overawed in the slightest by the length of the remonstrance, and while they recognize to the fullest extent the great power and influence of women are constrained to say that the procuring of so many women's names to the remonstrance does not magnify it in any great degree in their eyes, particularly as they think that the female sentiment of the borough largely pre- ponderates in favor of annexation.
 At the First church this evening occurs one of those occasions invariably of superior in- terest and attraction, when the contents of the Ecao, the sewing society paper, are un- folded.

Weaver and Miss Fanny Rice, the former the well known humorist and scribe, the latter the principal of the Lloyd street school The editors of the pres ent number are Mir. John c. Bradley, whose knowledge of banking is guarantee that there will be something worth giving cur rency to in his contributions, while his col league, the youngest daughter of Rev. MT. Hart, will no doubt present something both readable and piquant. The syndicate for this issue includes MT. O. s.

 -The Insurance.
 Yesterday morning about o'clock fire was discovered issuing from the upper story of the Meriden House, the oldest and most commodious hotel in the city of Meriden. which was located on the corner of Main and Colony streets, and kept by Stephen Ives. The fire was first discovered by Police Officer Duis, who gave the alarm, and then set to work to arouse the occupants of the hotel This he succeeded in doing with the aid of others, and also found that the fire had origi- mated in the room of John Kinds, porter, who slept in one of the attic chambers, and who had retired late. When found, Kinds was in stupor and almost sufocated. He was arrested and taken to the station house, and yesterday sent to the jail for thirty days for drunkenness. It is stated that he upset a kerosene lamp, which caused the fire. irving on account of the alarm being given imperfectly, and the flames began to spread about the building in all directions. The roof and the two upper stories of the build ing were entirely demolished and gutted, and the furniture, etc., is total loss. The first and second stories and contents are badly damaged by water and smoke.
 The lower story was occupied by Heating X Hurley, boot and shoe dealers E. H. Amber, hats and caps and gents furnishing goods dealer; J. I. Parker, millinery and fancy goods; A. B. Wilcox, gents furnishing goods, and Loomis' Temple of Music These stores are more or less damaged by water, but all are well insured.
 The firemen fought the flames from until o'clock in the morning, when they were un- der control and their spread prevented.
 The following is the insurance on the building and on the contents of the stores:
 On the building, through Benjamin Pages agency, $22, ,OOO, in eight companies
 On the building, through H. c. Buffers agency, $8,O0O; total on building and contents, $3O,OOO.

 Besides the $30,OO on the building there were two other policies on the furniture for $3, 900.
 The total insurance is $45, 1000, and will nearly cover the loss. The Meriden House was erected about twenty-five years ago, and has always been used as hotel It was owned by the estate of Wm. Hale. Wm J. Ives is the executor, and Stephen Ives leased the premises.
