THE SAFE BLOWERS.

Argument Upon tho Motion for Writ Of
Habeas Corpus Decision Reserved by
Judge Willin Until 10 O'Clock This
Morning.
The argument in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings commenced in the cases of W. B.
Smith and J. Hamilton, the parties in durance
for the alleged attempt, some three weeks
since, to rob the Office safe of Breen & Young,
came on before Judge Wilkins, of the district
court, in chambers, at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. The prisoners were produced in
court by Sheriff Richter, who made return
they were held by virtue of commitms MT
from the municipal court of the city. Mr.
c. D. O'Bren appeared for the accused and
County Attorney Egan or behalf of the state.
The ground upon which Mr.. O'Brien argued
for the granting of the writ was the INSULT
cheney of the evidence upon which the accused
we're arrested and held to the grand jury, be-
ing mere suspicion, nothing having been
shown connecting them with the commission
lathe offense charged, a position that was
opposed by County Attorney Egan, both
gentlemen earnestly and ably supporting
their respective positions. At the end of the
argument Judge Wilkin announced he would
take the matter under advisement until 10
O'Clock this morning, at which time he would
render his decision.

it will be almost impossible to

business feature of the city, and as the matter
is public one and not personal speculation
the general cooperation of those possessing
information is earnestly desired and conf

a FRIGHTFUE FALL.
A Mechanic Falls Fifty Feet and Still
Lives.

A Mechanic Falls Fifty Feet and Still
Lives.
One of those seemingly unavoidable acct
dents occurred yesterday, the painful particu-
lars Of which are as follows: Among the
carpenters employed in the construction of
Mr.. E. N. Saunders building on Summit
avenue was young Englishman, recently
from Nova Scotia, named James Mcfarland
The latter had been at work on the cupola of
the building, which he reached by means of a
self-constructed scaffold, the tower being over
fifty feet from the level of the street. About
11:30 O'Clock yesterday morning, while en-.
gagged at work on the cupola, the staging
gave way and Mcfarland was thrown to the
ground.
The frightful fall was enough to break every
bone in his body, but incredible as it may
seem, he may yet live to tel the story of the
accident. HIS face was fearfully battered, and
both jaws and his nose were broken. In adj
dition to this, his right wrist was fractured,
and he was bruised about the body The
shock was terrific, and it was impossible to
state whether or not he had sustained internal
injuries.
The injured man was removed to st. Luke's
hospital and attended by Drs. Macdonald and
Senkler.

ILLUMINATING OILS.
Points In the Annual Report Of State In
spector Hoffman.

epoctOr hOnmaus
The annual report of J. K. Hoffman, State
inspector of oils, was made to Hon. Fred Won
Baumbach, secretary of state, for incorpora-
ton into the annual statistical report. The
report shows the total number of barrels in
spected and approved by himself and deputies
during the year ending November so, 1881, to
have been 4S,2SS, containing Q, 164, 200 gallons.
Also, the following, rejected as unsafe: Sep
TENDER IS, Spencer 81 Searles, Minneapolis,
twenty barrels of 1000 gallons, branded
'sSchefield, Shirmen q Teagle,' flashing at
103 degrees; September IS, Standard Oil COM
pany, Minneapolis, three barrels OF $50 gal
Ions, STANDARD Oil company" brand, flashing
test 105 degrees; November 10, unknown, ten
barrels of 500 gallons, shipped by P. O. Han
naford & Co flashing test ninety degrees.
In SUI uniting his report of operations,
Inspector Hoffman says: sThe Illuminating
quality of the oil used in this state during the
year just passed has been fully up to the
standard of previous years. There has been
no disaster during the year traceable to the
use of unsafe and nnlnspected oils. The ex-
perience of Minnesota has been notable ex-
ception in this respect, and it fully indicates
the wisdom of the passage Of our inspection
laws.
"To insure entire and easy obedience to the
law, have during the year commissioned
thirty -four deputy inspectors residing at or
near as many distributing points. Dealers
through the state have become well posted
relative to the requirements OF our law, and
have during the year received, as heretofore,
the hearty cooperation of those dealing most
largely in Illuminating oils"

TEE H0USE co sMTrrEEs.

Very general dissatisfaction is felt and
expressed at the makeup of the commit
tees by Speaker Keifer There is much
complaint and grumbling among Con-
gressmen. The West complains that the
East has control of the most important
committees. New York is dissatisfied be-
cause she has no representation on the
committee o f commerce. Pennsylvania
is satisfied and happy. In the election of
Speaker, Don Cameron changed the vote
of that State from Hiscock to Keifer, and
of course that State has its reward in the
lions share. The Speaker has shown in
making up the committees, that he has
been mindful of the bargains and
pledges given, conditioned on sup
porting him for Speaker. The
Ohio delegation was solid for Keifer.
But Judge Taylor, successor to Gen.
Garfield is greatly dissatisfied, because
Townsend of the Cleve land Ohio, district,
the especial personal friend of Garfield
was snubbed by the speaker in rushing up
tAC COulinlbtCCS. liz buett lOWu-
send should have had the speakership of
the commerce committee instead of Page
of California, new and inexperienced
member. But Page was on active par
tisan of Keifer in the election of speaker.
Judge Taylor also thinks western man
ought to have the craftsmanship of the
committee on Mines and Mining, instead
of Van Voorhees,.
The Democrats are complaining, and
with reason, of the unfair treatment ac-
corded them. Speer, of Georgia, is made
to count as Democrat by the Speaker,
and Randall, who is protectIonist, is
used on the ways and means committee,
where he practically works with the Re-
publicans. Keifer is a small Drained,
virulent partizaa, and will prove the
most unsatisfactory of anyone who has
held the place.

condition which the late campaign left
him, and settled down to enjoy the honest

John Pheger, respondent, VS.. the Hastings &
Dakota Railway company, appellant.

Syllabus-If the construction of railroad
across farm lessons its value by preventing
the flow of surface water from one part of the
farm to another, this is a proper element to be
taken into consideration in fixing the amount
of compensation to which the owner is en-
titled. The rules of law governing the rights
of adjacent owners as to the flow of surface
water from the land of one on to the land Of
the other, have no application to such case.
1t is incumbent upon an appellant to show
error prejudicial to himself; and as it
does not appear in this case whether the inter
ruption of the flow of surface water COM
planned of, consisted in preventing it's flow
from the landiof an adjacent owner upon prem
ises of respondent, or in preventing its flow
from over part OF respondents farm to anoth-
er part, it will be presumed that the court be-
low was correct under the facts of the case in
instructing the jury that if the construction
of the railroad interfered with the flow of sur
face water in such way as to depreciate the
value of the farm, they had a right to take it
INTO consideration.
Order denying new trial affirmed.

SIXTH WARD SCHOOL BUILDING.

Plans and Bids Heretofore Received Re-
j-ctsd, and New Plans Ordered-Pay
Rolls for December Passed.
The board Of education held what proved to
an animated meeting last evening, to consider
the matter Of the erection of new school
building in the Sixth ward. To premise it
should be stated that the matter has been un-
der consideration for months past by the
board, which had gone SO far as to procure
plans from Mr.. A. Gauger, which plans had
been accepted and bids invited and received
for the construction of building thereun-
der. After going thus far majority
of the board came to the conclusion that the
plans accepted called for too costly build
ing TO be undertaken at this time, and that it
was deslreable to make new start. The
meeting last evening was for this purpose.
AS commencement it was voted, after lit
tie discussion, to reject the plans heretofore
accepted, and all the bids for the construction
of the building received under them.
Inspector Openheim presented to the con-
sideration Of the board, sketch of an eight
room, two story solid brick building, of at
tractlve elevation, and in which special atten
ton had been paid to light and ventilation,
SIS, 900 and moved that the sketch be accepted
as basis for the contemplated building.
Motions, pro and con, interspersed with DIS
cussion, followed, the principal dividing line
being as to whether Mr.. Gauger should be
continued as the architect to prepare the plans,
in accordance with the general outlines fur
nished by Mr.. Oppenheim's sketch, or that all
architects should be invited TO prepare such
plans, the board reserving to itself the right
| to accept the one best suiting their ideas, the
decision in the end being in favor of employ
ing Mr.. Gauger.
The board then voted, upon motion of In
spector Hamilton, that the schools should be
| reopened after the holiday vacation, Tuesday,
January 2, instead of Wednesday, January 3d.,
| as heretofore voted.
Upon motion of Inspector Wilgus, it was
voted that the blackboard in the High, Wash
ington and Franklin schools be repaired dur
ing the holiday vacation.
The board then took up and passe d the paw
roll of teachers for month of December, after
which adjourned.
