Christmas and New Years would both
pass by without excitement. The
market-house bell sounded the alarm
for the third ward about one o'clock
Yesterday afternoon, and the crowd of
excitement hunting citizens rushed
over to the Raymond plateau, whence
was seen issuing a dense volume of
smoke. IL was the African Methodist
Episcopal church in flames. Owing
to the flimsy character of the struc-
ture, the high wind prevailing, and
fact that the fire was well under way
when discovered, the house and con-
tents were total loss. The fire de
partment was on hand promptly, but,
as the hill on which the house stood Is
almost as high rs the water reservoir, a
very small pressure of water only was
obtained. Fortunately, the dwelling
houses south of the church were coat
ed with the ice that glazed everything
the night before, or no power could
have saved them. AS it was the roof
of the parsonage occupied by Rev. A.
Grant, pastor of the church, was so
iamaged as will necessitate a new

corched and charred. Only the

And large lot of it did burn, too.
But u few Goals of the burning church
were put out, anyhow.
The height of the hill and the feeble
pressure OF water showed very clearly
how badly u different system than
that of the reservoir is needed here.

Delegate MagiHnis.

Hen. Martin Niaginnis, Montans's
very popular delegate in. congress: ar.
rived in the SILVER City night before last
from the East Side. The gentleman paid
, the Miner office a pleasant call Yesterday
and in. the course of conversation stated
that the Indian commission, of which he
is a member, have been very successful
in negotiating with Indian tribes in re-
gard to the cutting down OF their reser-
vations. All the reservation Indians in
Montana, except the Flatheads, consent
to the terms proposed by the commits
sion. The Flatheads will probably agree
to the cutting down of their reservation
after their delegation visit Washing
ton and have. talk with the Great
Father. The area of these reservations
has been reduced at least seventy-fve
per cent, thus throwing open to settle
ment vast amount of some of the finest
lands in the Territory. The commission
has done good work which will be felt
in the large addition that will soon be
made to our agricultural population.
In regard to Montana's admission as a
state the major thinks that by the time
application be made for her admission an
arrangement may be made by which
republican Territory will be admitted at
the same time. This will overcome any
opposition which may be raised against
her admission on, the score of politics.
Our constitution, he thinks, should be
framed with SPECIAL regard for simplicity,
clearness and brevlty, leaving out all
matter which more properly belongs to
legislative bodies to rass r:on-Mper.

estimable one, Mr.. Langrishe says, on
whom prominent and worthy member
Of the Jay Rial Company had set his
heart and had not spoken in vain. They
had been engaged and were about to sep

flew they concluded to wed then and
