THE st. Paul Pioneer Press remarks that
how much Secretary Kirkwood knows
about Indians and Indian affairs is ludi-
crously indicated by the statement that he
has demanded the resignation of Mr.. Ruffoe,
the agent of the Chippewas, because that
official failed to furnish the information he
was delegated to procure as to the yaluo to
the Indians of the lands to bo overhowed
or theamount of damage which would be
done the Indians from damming the outlet
of Lake Winnebgoshish. Mr.. Ruffee seems
to have furnished all the information it was
possible to procure on this subject"
There must be some latent indications OF
civil-service reform in this paragraph, 1t
has been customary for o number of years
not to expect an Indian agent TO know any
thing, and the Northwest is naturally
nettlei at such demands.

A Man Becomes Tired of Cell. 81 " and At
tolnPts Suicide.
Frank S. Nicholas is the name of man
who attempted to commit suicide at the
prison last evening. He was arrested on
Saturday for being drunk and disOrtlerly, by
Officer Weitzel, who, after great deal of
trouble, landed him in the station house.
Before the mayor he gave his name rs
Frank Hail, and stated that he was q
native of New York. The mayor COM
mitted him to prison for the term Of 80
days, and when he arrived at that
institution he was placed in cell mo. 81, :"
which is also known as "Bummers' Hall. -
the horrors of which were described in the
columns of the INTELLIGENCER recently.
This cell is in bad condition yet and Hall
soon became tired of it, saying that he had
the horrors and would rather die than live.
Last evening about o'clock he stepped
into the water closet, and when hc came
out his fellow prisoners noticed that he
was bleeding at the throat. They
informed the officials, who made
an examination of the man and
when they found that he had cut an ugly
cash, about three inches long, in his
throat, medical aid was summoned and
DR.. Compton was soon on hand. He
sewed up the mans wound and he will
likely recover.
After tho cutting Nichols informed the
prison officials that the name of Hall was
an assumed one. He says he is 40 years
old and is single man. He is of Irish
birth anu originally lived in Massachusetts,
Of late he has had no home and has been
tramping over the country. He was
a soldier during the late war and
receives a pension from the government
for disabilities received in the service.

The Senatorial situation.

Last night the Oliver leaders held lit
tie conference, in which it is said Senator
Cameron, who returned from Washington
on Tuesday, took a hand. Mr.. Cameron's S
plan was to stick to Oliver till ''hell freezes
Over,' or words to that effect, and it was
agreed to. This plan was adopted in the
hope that public sentiment will at length
compel these boilers to abandon their po-
sitiOn and come back into the fold. These
boilers are kicking against the inevitable
right of tho majority to rule, and it is ar
gued that it will not be long before the
people come to their senses and rally in
support of party organization. In fact it is
said that Senator Cameron is losing his
temper over this thing. These boilers
must be taught \ lesson. They have by
their course forfeited their ri ,hts as men,
bers of the Republican party have,
rs it were, wandered Off after
strange gods, and they will cOnse-
quently be totally ignored in the distri-
button of the patronage which the Re-
publican party has under its control. And
moreover, it is rumored that this prancing
about of shadowy steeds is to be stopped.
These mysterious equincs are constantly
kicking up their heels, raising excitement
and drawing votes away from Oliver.
They are all to be withdrawn, blanketed
and stabbed, and the course left clear for
the regular entries. If this decree has
gone forth irrevocably, it will be hard on
Snowden, Hewitt, MacVeagh and others.
And so the deadlock continues and
tightens. There is not now as much pros
pect of its dissolution as when it begun.
Certain it is that no developments Of any
in the situation need be looked
for tO-day.

Work on the Baltimore & Cumberland
Valley railroad extension between Wayns-
boro and Chambersburg and between
Chambersburg and Shippensburg is pro-
crossing rapidly and has been but
little deferred by the inclemency Of the
weather. The gangs are employed all
along the line and earth has been broken Oh

pushing the road along to completion as
fast a possible.
In Harrisburg Mrs. Geo. NJ. Kennedy,
wife Of railrOader, was ascending the
stairs to room in the upper story. She
carried in her hands a pan of boiling
water. Her little son John, scarcely two
years old, hid ut that top of the stairs and
when his mother came along, suddenly
sprang out to scare her. The playful
trick proved a fatal one. The little fellow
jolted against the pan of hot water and it
splashed over his head and shoulders. He
was SO badly scalded that he died in two
hours.

Strange Causas of ue.th.

Archibald Gibson, second lieutenant in
the Seventh Z. S. cavalry, a son of Charles
Gibson, prominent lawyer, died in St.
Louis yesterday. Lieutenant Gibson, died
of Inflammation of the brain, believed to
be the result of circumstances which oc
CURED while he was at West Point. One
day, while on parade, spider got into one
of his ears. By the rules he was not al
lowed to raise his hand and stood in the
ranks more than an hour, while the spider
worked its way into the car. When dis
missed his ear was full of blood and the
insect could not be removed for two days.
This caused a corrosion of the bone next
to the brain and gave him good deal of
trouble. He went to his regiment in
Northern Dakota. and, after performing
considerable service and suffering from a
severe attack of sickness, he came home
expecting to resign, but, as it proved,
only to die."
Canuto Apodaca was last week thrown
from a mule in Mesilla and killed. A dog
caught the mule by the tail, causing him
to throw his rider and drag him con-
distance.

FIRE.
Tobacco Shed Burned-FOur Acres Of To-
baccO Destroyed.

Tobacco Shed Burned-FOur Acres Of To-
baccO Destroyed.
Last evening between Z and 8 o'clock a
tobacco shed belonging to Jacob Cruel and
situated on the Conestoga, u short dis
tance below Reigart's Landing, was set on
fire and burned to the ground, and all its
contents consumed, consisting of about
fOnr acres of tobacco, and the tools and
machinery used for harvesting ice. The
building was quite 4 large structure, built
partly of stone and partly of frame, and
was formerly owned and used by Peter Il.
FOrdney us an ice-house. Mr.. Cruel
recently purchased it and had stored in it
six or seven acres Of tobacco which had
been farmcd for him "On the shares " by
Mcssrs. Shaefter, Seifert, Hamilton and
Quigley. The two latter removed their
shares from the building a few days ago
and thus escaped loss. Conrad Shaeffer
had an insurance of $500 in the Newark
company on that part of the crop farmed
by him, and VIM. c. Seifert had an insur-
ancc of Si0O in the North German COM
pany, both companies being represented
in this city by Messrs. Herr s. Stauffer.
MIR. Cruel holds an insurance of $3.50 on
the building in company represented by
Rife s. Kaufman. These several insur-
ances will 80 far towards covering the loss.
There appears to be 10 doubt that the
building was set on fire and that the pur-
pose of the incendiary was not only to de-
stroy it but also to destroy two large frame
ice houses belonging to Mr.. Cruel and
nearly adjoining the building burned.
Had it not been that the roofs of these
buildings were heavily covered with snow
they would in all probability have been
set on fire by sparks from the burning
building and destroyed. The Shifflsr fire
company was soon on the ground with the
steamer and did good work in preventing
the flames from spreading to the ice house
by running their steamer out upon the
ice, sucking water from the creek and
throwing heavy streams upon the build
ings.
1t was Mr.. Grueps intention to have
filled the tobacco shed with ice rs soon as
the tobacco was removed from it. There
was in the building more than $50 worth
OF s;Fv dust to be used in packing ice.

Important II True.

Washington Dispatch to New York Times.
For secretary of war there have up to
this time been fewer prominent candidates
than for any of tho other places. Senator
Cameron must still enjoy the distinction
of being the principal of them. If he gets
the place-and there is hardly question
that he will it if it is offered to him-the
programme Of the straight-Out Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania, men who do the
work at elections, bring about Republican
victories, and never shirk political duty,
is to send his father, Simon Cameron, to
the seat in the Senate which would bo
made vacant by his appointment to a
place in the cabinet.

In for Trade.

Wilkesbarrc Union Leader, Dem.
Cameron is forced to bargain for votes
outside the Republican hosts, and as the
bargain is one in which the Democrats
have all to gain and nothing to lose, We
do not side with the few journals of our
own political faith that demand stubborn
resistance to any trade on the part of
the Democrats. We fully believe that SEN
ator Wallace sees the great advantages
that must accrue to the party in this
state, if it can secure fair and equitable
adjustment in the appOrtionment business.
And there is but one way in which this
can be done, and that is by helping the
Republican caucus candidate into the
United States Senate. Surely Democrats
have no especial choice between any Re-
publican, and as it is impossible to elect a
Democrat, why then the next best thing
to do il, to trade with the side that can
give the most in the apportionment bust
ness, and that side is unquestionably the
caucus side,
