traces OF the road, and the gravel beds have

themselves to be Kentucky officers
appeared here purporting TO be after
Harvey Purnell fer burning barn

they had come upon Purnell, and
after firing shots had captured him,

I Ork special: The TTiblLne'S Wash
ington, this morning, about Grants
overshadowing influence in the new
administration, is generally regarded
here as the first gun in the war
fare which Blaine and the anti-Stal-
warts intend opening on the Presl-
dent. Your correspondent has seen
Grant with reference to these sew
eral allegations, and as matter Of
public interest, net less than Of JUS
tice to himself and the President, it
may be said he denOunceS them as
false and malicious. He says he
has not sought in any way to infu-
ence the President in the manner
imputed to him; that as regards
Ohaffee, the latter was politically
hostile to him aJ Chicago, ana was
never considered a Grant man, and
as for intimate financial relations
with him, the fact is, said the gen.
eral, l have never been interested
with him in any transaction to the
extent of a dollar. AS to his wish
ing to have Blaine out of the cab
met, Grant says that is about the
only truthful item in the entire in
dictment. He wishes him out be-
cause he believes he is not a fit man
to be there. The only arrangement
Of the diplomatic service that he is

that eastern missions should

FIRE.
OOdstOek, NcbraSka, the
Victim of an IncendIary.

Woodstock, Neb., ia great
part of Woodstock is On fire. This
time incendiarism, without a shadow
of doubt, caused the disaster. About
midnight Mechanics Institute was
found to be on fire. A heavy north
west wind was blowing, and in
few minutes the building was en-
veloped in flames. The engine was
soon at work, but the fire seized w.
f. Debble's and Benjamin Smiths
new residences, and they were
burned to the ground. In the mean
time the flames burst out in Mayor
r. K. Jones barn, a third of mile
to the WindWard of the first fire.
The wind now seemed to blow a
hurricane and swept the flames on
to Jones residence, then across the
street, the fire spreading each way.
Soon both sides of Main street were
fiercely burning. The Free Baptist
Church, the old and new EplScO-
palian Churches, and the registrars
Offices were wrapped in flames. Con-
sternatiOn was now on every face.
The work of destruction was of
short duration. The engine com
pany, having stayed the flames
at the Mechanics Institute
came across the bridge to battle
with the greater and newer danger.
The men were driven down Main
streeG, house by house, till at last on
the street passing the new hotel,
they finally stayed the deyouring
element. The fire swept down Main
street from Hugh Hayes to the
town hall, for ten rods on each side
running down to a point at the
the river, ending with the residence
of J. G. Allen. Some eighty houses
were burned. The occupants are
now sheltered by inhabitants whose
house escaped the flames. The loss
is placed at $4,000; insurance
$4,000. No lives were lost, but
many persons were injured.

was IN no danger of receiving. AS to
the misrepresentation of his posi-
ton IN the star route cases, he said
no position had ever been clearer to
him than that his own usefulness,
either as a member of the cabinet or
as representing government in the
star cases, was absolutely ended by
the Geath Of President Garfield. ANY
subsequent supervision of these
cases by him was inevitably calcu-
lated to give an erroneous impress
