PRESIDENT GARFIELD is said to have
clearly intimated that he should consider the
votes of Senators upon the question of
Robertson's confirmation to be q test OF per-
sonal and political friendliness. The Presi-

threats, but it was very evident that he
would regard vote against Robertson as an
unfriendly act toward his Administration

The Penitentiary Fire.

The damage caused by the recent
fire at the Penitentiary was chiefly confined
to the large building, covering an area of
about 210x40 feet, occupied by Mr.. Sui
livan's saddle-tree factory, Priesmeyer's shoe
factory, and the main engine and pumping
machinery of the institution. Mr.. Sullivan
loses on stock, machinery and patterns be-
tween $25 900 and $30, 600, on which he had
no insurance at the time of the fire, for the
reason that he was preparing to move into
the new shop built for him in the north part
of the grounds, where he intended to renew
his insurance. He worked about 165 con-
victs, who, for time, are thrown out
of employment, as are also several
fremen and bosses from outside the prison.
He says he will Immediately make prepare
tions for resuming work in the new build
ing, and will be again running in few days.
Mr.. Priesmeyer's loss is between $15, 900 and
5000. 1t consists of stock and machinery,
which were insured for $4,000. Mr.. Pries-
meyer will at once resume work with part
of his usual force, which consists of fifty
five convicts and five or six outside men as
foremen and bosses. Most of his men will
remain under his contract for some little
time. The total prison force thrown out Of
employment Is ZZJ, whose WORK 10 the stare
was worth about 500 per day. The new cell
building, costing nearly $500, 00O,is damaged,
so far as the roof and cells are concerned, to
the .extent of s., 900. A much greater dam
age, however, is done to the west wall, near
the fire, from heat, which, if it should be
necessary to tear it down and rebuild it,
would cost not less than Sc, 200. The roof
of the new hospital building is damaged
slightly. The main engine which supplied
the steam power for Sullivan and Pries-
meyer, and did the pumping for the institu-
ton, is entirely destroyed. The appropria-
ton of $36, 300 made by the last Assembly for
improvements and machinery, Warden
Willis thinks, will be sufficient to repair the
damage. The new dining-hall and chapel
will be pushed forward and utilized until
shops can be made ready. Warden Willis
has ordered by telegraph materials to put in
immediate repair the cell building, and has
force at work endeavoring to get things in
the best condition possible under the circum.
stances.

pastured during the summer and fat

corn is not the only material that can
be fed with advantage to hogs.

declared BY Prof Wauklyn in his work

its quality" This is altogether
wrong; any one may prove it very
quickly by feeding wheat shorts, buck

Weld of butter and the quality of it.
