4 sad ease of drowning occurred at
the river last Sunday, about , O'Clock
p. m. G. j. Ahlberg. a clerk in Camp
bell & Tuthill's::store-aged about Is
years, broke through the thin ice be-
meath the iron bridge while engaged
in skating. There were only three or
four skaters near when the accident
happened, but the cries of Ahlberg
for help brought a large crowd of reo-
pie TO the river. Conscious that he
could not swim, losing his presence Of
mind and becoming frantic, and no
doubt chilled through he could do
nothing for himself, and sank into the
waters to rise only as a corpse. Every
thing was done that could he with TIE
appliances at hand, to save him, but it
was impossible. John DOnegan broke
through the ice IN his attempts to help
him and had to swim to the shore.
Boards were thrown out upon the ice,
but too late to reach or help him.
Finally boat was brought from sam.
uel Jones' place and put into the wat.
ter, and Messrs. Taylor Miller and ID.
II. Wagstaf succeeded by the use of n
rake in bringing Ahlberg's body To the
surface but u little way from where he
went down. The water was about Is
feet deep at that place. The body was
taken to A. NJ. Canpbell's residence.
Ahlberg had no relatives here. a dis
patch was sent Ia relatives in Iowa,
informing them of the sad occurrence
and asking whether the body should
be buried here or sent to them. ALL
berg was formerly clerk for Ferlen &
Lecksell, but for tho last six months
has been in Campbell X Tuthill's store.

this city last Saturday night, soon
after l. o'clock. \ hostler ut the Couse
stable is supposed to have been the
first person 10 discover the fire, which
was then confined to the building on
the west side Of Santa Fee avenue
owned by Mrs. NJ. J. Doyle-and he
Immediately gave the alarm. by the
time the crowd had assembled and the
boys Of the fire company had arrived
the interior was all on fire. The build
ing contained nothing except the bar
fixtures lately used by Gust. Schultz
who is now in Jail. The fire com
municated with Pat. D'Donnells gun
show on the south, and Charles Dan
iels' broom factory, north, aud the
block Of buildings extending from the
stone saloon building To the vacant lot
south of Clarkson's livery stable was
swept away. There were really only
three buildings covering q lot AMI a
half, all one story and of frame-bnt
there were five store rooms. The first
room on the south was the Eggleston
picture establishment next door the
gun shop; next to that the Doyle
building, then the broom factory, and
last the little room occupied by Chas
Daniel as q residence. Fortunately
there was very little wind and the
progress of the fire was 20 moderate rs
to enable the occupants of the rooms
to save nearly everything. The flames
and heat made q fierce onslaught upon
Clarkson's livery stable, but the vacant
25 feet, the use of salt on the roof, the
Babcock's stream, the livery stable
hose and the good work Of firemen
and citizens, saved the building
though the fire caught in the roof two
or three times. Eggleston's building
was insured with Wight 4 Carroll for
500, in the Springfield company. The
gun shop building was insured with
Braniff & Crsvens. In the German for
500, and the Doyle building with the
same firm In the WATERFOWL Company,
Of n. Y, for $500. The next building
belonged to Mn. Barber. widow, and
carried no insurance. Had there been
. high wind . most DISASTROUS confla-
grafton must have occurred; for had
the flames but Tapped over the stone
building, long row q frame build
ingS would have been laid In ashes.

The old. old play of Uncle Toms
Cabin" was made delightfully."- fresh
and original by Diapers Uncle Tom
Cabin Troupe" which exhibited ut the
Opera House last Monday night. The
trained blood hounds and the trick
donkey were new features which did
much in adding To the interest of the
play. We never saw before the char
acter Of :" Lawyer Marks " so wells
tanned IL on Monday night. Hiss every
motion brought out long and prolons-
ed applause. "Ophelia," the Yankee
aunt, was exceedingly well played.
While "Top-y" was thrilling" in
her make up, she fell short Of the
standard in some respects. "tnrle
Tom " was good, and 50 Legr"e."
The plantation melodies 10y Z" the four"
were very fine. Thu. taken altogether
it was about the best presentation 81
this thrilling play we have ever wit
messed. The hal! was pretty well
filled. probably it was near S2o0
house. Judging from the good natured
faces we saw on every hand, the audi
ience must have been very well pleased
with the play.

from any selfish motive Of pecuniary gain or
political advancement, or from any personal
motive? -,
Al saw nothing personal or selfish:
never knew anything more pure and upright
and patriotic than Blaine's management OF
the State Department.
Brown asked: If this government desired
peace between Chill and Peru without the
dismemberment of territory could it not have
effected it better if he had not endeavored to
advance these claims?
Witness considered that these claims to
certain extent afforded an instrumentaiity,
and by acting in concert our government
could the more readily secure such a place:
In further reply, witness stated that he did
not understand that it was ever contemplated
as purpose of the State Department to es-
tablish an American protectorate over Peru.
1t would undoubtedly been very desirable on
the part of the Company. Possibly it was
mentioned before Secretary Blaine, but such
a thing would have to be first mentioned to
Peru. 1t was not part of the object in
sending Trescptt to Peru to bring about such
a thing 1t was the object of the Peruvian
Company in sending commissioners to Peru.
to make an agreement between Peru and the
America, Company. based upon an acknowl-
edgement of the claims.
