We have information from most
reliable sources that all deeds to rail-
road lands have been forwarded to
New York for execution and their
return may be reasonably expected
within two months, when they will
be ready for delivery. 1t is explained
that the cause Of the delay has been
a lack Of clerical help, brought about
by the great pressure Of business in

and the increase Of sales. We fully

We receive letters every week
asking our advice as to whether it
would pay the writers to locate in
this city. We are not engaged grind
ing out advice to people as to what
they should do, or what line they
should follow in order to accumulate
wealth. We are more than pleased
with Spokane Falls, but that is no
criterion. We might tell a man to
come here by all means, and should
he do so and become discontented he
would want to dine on our liver.
One of the best towns in the north
west is just pushing forward at this
exact spot, and there are chances for
good industrious men. If people feel
as though they would like to locate
here let them come in person and
form their own opinion. They can
not help being satisfied with the
place, yet If they do not happen to be
they cannot shove the responsibility
of their disappointment upon the
shoulders Of some one else.

"WEsTwARD the star of empire
wends its way" but what is the star
going to do about it when the Paci-
fic coast becomes peopled and the
uneasy pilgrim feels an anxiety to
strike out again. In early days the
hardy resident of the Atlantic coast
turned his nose towards Ohio and
Kentucky; acfew years later Daniel
Boone wanted elbow room and mOv-
ed into Missouri then there was a
rush for Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Wis
consin, Michigan, Minnesota and
Nebraska time skipped by and the
immigrant was hunting for loneli-
ness still closer to the Rocky noun
tains all at once the gold bubble Of
California glittered before the eyes
Of the world, and away went the
pioneer, pell nell for the Pacific
slope later still, when the knowl-
edge of the vast country to the north
west become circulated, the stream
Of life commenced flowing toward
Dakota and Montana, until at last
the magnificent region known as
Washington Territory caught the
eyes Of the enthusiasts and hither-
ward moves the current now. The
last is by no means the least, and the
way people are. .jamming into this
country shows that they are taking
advantage Of the last chance. When
this territory fills up, which will be
some time yet, the restless mover
will have to squat on the shores of
the Pa .ifcland like that pugilistic

CHICAGO, April 10.-The Hon. VIM. G.

this morning, informing him that the
United States supreme court at Washing

the suit against them to determine wheth-

creditor of the defunct Cook County bank
to the extent of $4,000, that being the
amount for which the bondsm en- would be

decision would make the bondsmen, Messrs.
L. NJ. Hough, Jas. Steel, Carlisle Mason,
Hopkinson McKeeheney, liable for this
balance of about $4,000, but he doubted
whether it could be collected, as some OF
these parties had failed III business since
the failure of the bank, and questions
would naturally ARISE TO delay final set

CHICAGO. April 1O.-There is nothing new
in regard to the bricklayers' and masons'
strike to-day. The union held meeting
last evening and resolved to hold out for
the 81 a day demanded, and the employ
srs to-day were equally firm in their de-
termination to refuse the demand or con-
slider any compromise. They say that a
few paen are coming into the city from
outside places, who are willing to accept
their prices, bat the things are not widely
.soxQh known yet to bring any large
number. They expect that day or two
will make considerable change in this
direction, and that before the end of the
week they expect to have all the hands
thsy oan employ. If the union will not
b. ,s.sonabls, they will show the sembers
that they are independent of it. On the
ether hAad ths men say that no new hands
are coming 10 ths city, and that none will
come.

New YORK, April 10.-Stocks were rath-

ers. There was q sale of Pullman

Good buying of the leading properties
continued to the end. The last shows il
most instances gains for the day. The sit
uation seems to be controlled by strong
parties.
Money was little more active at the last.
Matters look very cheerful and promising,
but how long will it last? Things have
looked promising before now and next day
have ratified down at tremendous rate.

Just now than for long time. Brokers

The weakness of the Western Union Tel
! egraph in the face of the otherwise rising

than bear point in Western Union, as the

A memorial has been sent to the presi-
dent by the president and board of direct
ors of the central committee on national
labor legislation, petitioning for an extra
session of congress, to be called as early as
practicable, for the purpose OF consider
ing the relations between labor and capl-
tai. The memorialists claim to represent
the wage workmen of the United States IN
the matter of promoting certain legisla-
ton promised by resolution of the SEN
ate, adopted in 1882. They call The atten-
ton of the president to the fact that near
iy year has elapsed since the adoption OF
that resolution, to investigate the relations
between capital and labor, and yet no re
port on the subject has been made by
the committee to which II
was referred, nor is there
any sign of remedial legislation. A form
of investigation was gone through with,
they say, during a single week of the last
session of congress, but further time was
asked by the committee to enable them to
travel all over the country, "and continue
what appears to be useless expenditure OF
time and public money in collecting facts
already we'll known" They add: ut aP-
pears to your memorialists an absurdlty
for the committee Of grave senators to go
around the country in a junketing feast at
public expense, to gather cumulative testl-
mony in the support of evident facts,
patent to all who read, and it is trldIpg
with the indignant feelings Of intelligent
workmen, who are the aggrieVed parties"
They request the president, therefore. II
| he ''feels hamperei by the conflicting
opinions of his privy counsellors'' to call
| together the representatives Of the people
elected last fall and submit to their ad-
| Indication" this problem of remedial leg
islation in the interest of oppressed wage
Workmen.

case of the nun who wants to be released
from the convent here, Bishop Fabre says:
This young nun is by no means kept in
the institution against her will. She can,
when she wishes, leave the convent and no
one will hinder her in her civil right to do
SO, but the young lady by her VOWS, with
free WILL assumed for five years certain
obligations which it is matter of con-
science for her to decide whether she is at
liberty to abandon. In this personal mat
ter, no outside element has right to in
terfere. Her release from the vows, which
now will soon expire, was asked at Rome
and refused.

ent at the Tewksbury almshouse investiga-
ton to-day. Joseph A. Chase testified ne
had worked for Miss Manning and with
her knowledge had taken bodies to the
Harvard medical school by order Of the

The governor then introduced SER
mon by a MIR. Sanborn, minister of Law
renee, in which it was stated that Spauld-
ing, one OF the trustees of the almshouse,
had boasted that while no emolument was
attached to the trusteeship he could make
it pay. the governor intimating this was
done by turning over the contract to out
side parties with whom Spaulding divided
the profits. The governor then offered
a printed testimonial to the character Of
Sanborn. which after some discussion was
admitted.
John A. Chase said since his first testi-
mony he had gone to Tewksbury with a
detective and unearthed coffin supposed
| to be the body of James Clark. The body
had previously been sold, and the coffin,
which was empty, was brought to Boston.
There were other cofins in the same con-
dition. Two poor women had offered
money to witness to put up slab over
their mothers grave, which he refused to
do, but Marsh said he ought to have taken
it.
A body was afterwards sent away in an
other case, the casket supplied by some la
dies to put the body into having been kept
and sold by Marsh, a wooden case taking
it's place. Detective Innes corrobOrated
Chase's testimony as to taking up ClGrk's
empty coffin, and the governor said he
would bring it before the committee; bat
the chairman said the committee preferred
to go and look at it. Adjourned until to-
