LIGHTNING FLASHES.
Stanley Mathews Confirmed as a
Member of the United States
Supreme Court.
An Interesting Chapter Of Crimes
and Casualties Telegraphed
to the Tribune.
An Infuriated German Kills His
Wife and Then Ends His
Own Existence.
Matthews Confirmed.


WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Senate con-
firmed Stanley Matthews to-day, the vote
being "a yeas to % nays. There has been
considerable interest manifested in the
case tonight, because the vote was so
close, and efforts have been made by the
opponents of Matthews to induce some
Senators who voted for him to move for a
reconsideration. Senator Anthony was
temporarily absent, and lost his vote.
Had he voted it would have been against
Matthews, and would have made a tie,
and would have rejected him. Malone
left the chamber, not voting at all. When
the vote was finally announced no Sena-
tor who had voted in the negative changed
his vote to the affirmative, therefore it is
out of the power of Mathews opponents
to get a reconsideration unless they can
pursuade some Senators who voted in the
affirmative to do it. All indications are
that the vote will stand, land no further
attempt to defeat Mathews will be made.
Malone and Don Cameron have de-
clared themselves as opposed to Chand-
]er's nomination, next to be taken up, and
their votes with the democrats will reject
him. Senator Dawes said in the conven-
ton today that the Republican Senators
are four to one in favor of confirming
Robertson. and that he would probably
be confirmed in time for the Senate to
adjourn Wednesday.

Northern P.einc Netes.

northern racine NOte9s
A force of 1900 men began work on the
extension yesterday.
George K. Barnes, General Passenger
and Ticket Agent, has gone to New York
for his family, and will locate in St. Paul.
The North Pacific emigration agent at
Christiana, Sweden, writes that 1900 set
tiers will sail Immediately, to occupy
North Dakota lands. @
Within the last few days 1900 immi-
grants arrived in Chicago, the Michigan
Central bringing in 800, the Lake Shore
1900, and the Fort Wayne 500. Most OF
them are seeking no mes in Minnesota,
Dakotoa, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
The gross earnings Of the North Pacific
OH 772 miles of road for the months Of
July, 1880, to April, 1881, were $2,003, ,495;
increase, $429, ,63l. April, 1881 (approxi-
mate), $2l4, 1855; increase, same mileage,
,689; increase for first nine months OF

Gen. Manager Haupt, accompanied by
his stenographer, left st. Paul yesterday
morning for trip over the road, and will
go as far west as Sentinel Butte, M. T..
The trip will occupy ten days time, and
it is to be hoped that Manager Haupt will
remain longer in Bismarck then on the
occasion Of his first visit. This is the
most enterprising city on the line, and OF
this any one will be convinced who makes
careful comparisons as Gen. Haupt will
be apt to do on this occasion.

A Go0d-Sized Claim.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-A petition re-
Gently fled in the United States Court of
Claims by the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, representing that, up to and
Including December 81, 1875, claims for
the transportion of mails had not been
adjusted upon the terms proposed by the
Post-Office Department, which terms at-
forded compensation to the company con-
siderably less than the amount charged to
and paid by private persons for like ser
vices during the same period. The petl-
ton also cites in detail other services rem
dered, for which proper compensation
had not been breceived by the company.
The aggregate amount due the railroad,
according to the petition, is S1,l41, ,72l.
The case was argued before the Court of
Claims to-day. The case of the petitioner
was rested upon the sixth section of the
act of Congress approved July LIST, 1862,
which act constitutes the charter of the
company. The section is as follows:
SECTION 6. And be it further enacted, that the
grants aforesaid are made upon the conditions
that said company shall pay SAID bonds AZ ma
| tu.ity, and shall keep said railroad and tele-
graph line in repair and use, and shall at all
times transmit dispatches over said telegraph
line, and transport mails, troops, ammunition,
war supplies and public stores upon said rail-
road for the government whenever required to
do SO by the department thereof. and that the
government shall at a! times have preference
in the use of the same fol- the purposes atore-
said, at fair and reasonable rates of compensa-
tion. not to exceed the amoun's paid by private
parties for the same kind of service, and all
compensation for services rendered tor the
government shall be applied to the payment of
said bonded interest until the whole amount is
| fully paid. .- .....
1t is thought by the court officials. that
the case will be decided within the next
two weeks. ...'

WASHINGTON, May 12-In the decision
ofthe Secretary OF the Interior relative to
the construction of the North Pacific
railroad through the Crow Indian reser-
vation, the Secretary held that while no
unnecessary conditions to the contem-
plated surveys in aid Of the reservation
should be interposcd by the department,
yet to avoid unfriendly feelings on the
part of the Indians towards agents or EN-
ployecs Of the road, he deemed it advisa-
bic to let the Indians know previously for
what purpose the preliminary surveys are
being made, and assure them that an
agreement will be made satisfactory 10

Dilute Your own "Rooze.''

One of Bismarck old-time "boozers' y
some time ago billed himself in all the
saloons that he was determined to "booze"
and smoke no more-the Mayor and Da-
kota liquor law hel ping him out. A few
days ago, however, he longed for a
s'smile," and to that end procured bottle
of alcohol. He wished it diluted, and
called upon next'door neighbor to pro-
cure the necessary amount OF water. The
lady took the bottle, went to the well,
and innocently elnptied and rinsed it out,
filled it with pure water, and returned it
to the "boozer," who went across the
street to take Il swig. Imagine his sur
prise, kind reader. and remember this
moral: Dilute your own ''booze."
