FIRE.


On Friday evening last, just, we
venture to say, as the majority of the
fire laddies had seated themselves at
supper, an alarm of fire was sounded
from the engine house and in very
few moments the fire company with
it's apparatus were on their way to
the n. p. '.round'' house, which was
already wrapped in flames. Owing to
a defective coupling on a section of
hose, it was impossible to reach the
burning building with water, but, it
is a question whether the fire had not
already progressed so far as 10 be be-
yond control. The locomotive. which
was housed short time before the
fire broke out had to stand tho racket
while the building over it was burned
to the ground, and, in consequence,
did not pull the freight out next day.
1t is thought that a spark from the
engine when she was run in fell in
some corner and smouldered away I'M
AL hands had left for supper.
We learn from the Ortonville Head
light that the following named gen.
tlemen have been elected delegates to
the farmers district convention at
Hermann:
S. III. Seholberg, A. p. Jackson, J.
T. Webb, J. p. Holmquest, A. S.
Stephens. Seneca Trip, j. N. Sher-
man.

The Edmuuds Bill Criticized.

Washington, March S.-John T.
Caine, delegate from Utah, made an
argument before the house committee
of territories to-day, in which he criti-
cised the Edmunds bill and the CASH.
day bill in relation to polygamy as
unconstitutional. He admitted the
right of the government to punish
polygamy as a crime If it desired to do
SO, but nevertheless the Mormons be-
lieved it was righs. He cited an ex-
ample of patriarchs in support of their
belief that Utah was a barren waste
until the Mormons came and converted
it into its present state of fertility.
They had helped to hold California
during the Mexican war and deserved
consideration from the government.

PersIans Seek Protection.

London, March Sit has become
known hat the Persians last November
appealed for Russian protection against
Tekke, T~urcomans, and thereupon
Captain Abkhsnoff with twenty-five
Cossacks, went to Merv with a letter to
Khan and induced him and other chiefs
to petition Russia for annexation.
General Komaroff answered that Rus
STA would grant this honor il slavery
should be renowned and booty taken
from the persons restored. Khan ac-
cepted those terms and liberated their
prisoners. Russia intends to establish
permanent legation at Cabul. This
step is made necessary by the occupa-
tion of Merv. Prince Dondoukoff
Korsakoff, commander-in-chief of the
army of Caucasus, is going to Mcrv to
study the country.

A RlsIna American Actress.

Paris, March ga correspondent
writing about Miss Nevada's departure
from the Opera Comique ascribes it as
jealousy of the young artiste's rising
fame by the wife OF the manager of the
comique. The correspondent says that
no ooner was it known she was free
than offers Of engagements poured in
upon her from all sides and an especi-
ally brilliant offer was made from Mos
COW, whittier she was prayed to come
at once to sing in the same operas with
the great tenor Masini, and another
very advantageous one frem the Royal
opera house at Madrid. but she prefers
to remain in Paris for the present, par
ticularly as the managers of the Italian
opera in this city have opened negotia-
tions with her to sing 10 Lucia di
Lammermour'' with the famous tenor
Gayarre, who has just achieved colossal
success as Gennaro in "Lucrezia Bor-
gia," in the part of Edgardo.

Shipping of Montana Cattle.

st. Paul, March 8.-Morton Free
man, of England, owner of $4,000 cat
tie, at the head of the Powder river, in
Montana, published a letter severing
the outlines Of a scheme for the ship
ment of cattle via Duluth and Canada
to the seaboard and Europe on the hoof
and feed there for the market. He
says the English government are
introducing a bill for the purpose of
making easy shipments of feeders for
that country by way of Canada and the
lakes. He believes the Northern Pa
ciic will have almost the monopoly Of
the western carrying trade and Chi
cago, ''as far as our western ship
ments are concerned, is doomed"
England" he says, 'could take three
million head Of cattle annually if the
Western United States could supply
the beasts" The letter created much
excitement among dressed beef men.

Raging Waters.


San Francisco, March s.-The con.
tinued rains are rendering the situa-
tiau alarming. This storm is worse
than the first. The southern country
is flooded and the telegraph interrupted.
Railroads are again washed out. 1t
has rained necessarily for the last
t%hirty-six hours. The signal service
announces heavy rains along the entire
coast. At Mojavo, Ravanna and other
points the railroads are washed out.
At Waterman the Mojave river rose 30
rapidly that the Inhabitants fed to the
mountains. One eastern passenger and
one emigrant train is blockaded at
Daggett, but provisions are plentiful.

Sad Case of Insanity.

New York. March S.-Lewis E. L.
land, proprietor of the Sturtevant
house, and n of the family of the
noted hotel keepers, is an inmate in
the private lunatic asylum in this city.
Denentia, akin to that which ended
Charles Delmonico's life, is his affection.
Over work and worry over extensive
and complicated business affairs are the
cause Of his disease. Leland was con-
fined in the asylum six months ago and
was discharged as cured, but after his
release his mania assumed violent type.
The disappearance and death of Charles
Delmonico occurring, caused his
friends to take measures to have him
effectually secured.

Tenure of Office.

Washington, March S.--The bill to
repeal sections.of revised statutes dis
tricting the term Of office to four years,
was fayorably received to-day from the
committee on reform civil service. 1t ap-
plies to the term of office Of the district
attorney, chief justice and associate
justices OF territories, surveyor general,
register and recorders, collectors of Gus.
toms, naval officers and SUI veyors of
customs and postmasters.
Postmaster General Gresham, First
Assistant Postmaster General Hatton
and General Superintendent Thompson
of the railway mail service, left for
New York, to take passage on the first
train of the new fast mail line between
New York and Chicago. The train
leaves New York at $40 tonight and
reaches Chicago a half-houI after
midnight on Sunday.

Another Canadian Railway.

Chicago, March 8.-Amos Rowe,
proprietor of the Winnipeg Times, is
in Chicago en- route to Manitoba from
Ottawa, the capital Of the Canadian
dominion. He reports the dominion
government had so far complied with
the demands of the Manitoba people
as to agree to granting to the company
the right to construct the Winnipeg &
Hudson's Bay railway, and to give 1t a
free subsidy of 1880 acres per mile.
The proposed new road will be 900
miles long. 1t ia stated that the dis
lance from the Hudson bay coast to
Liverpool is something less than from
New York to Liverpool.
, 1884-03-09
Cut In Freight Rates.

Chicago, March s.-Regsrding the
alleged break in east bound freight
rates while there has been no open cuts,
seems every reason to believe the large
contracts having been made here to-
day on the basis of fifteen cents on
grain to New York, and this fact has
been t~elegraphed to other points by
certain shippers. From the same
source the declaration is freely made
that the IA cent rate has been made
from st. Louis on a very large consign-
ment Of corn from that city to Balti-
more. 1t appears to be confidently be-
lieved that Commissioner Fink will or
der an open rate of 15 cents from
this city to New York in season for
the opening of business on Monday.

Minister saruent,s Posltlon.

Berlin, March S.-Minister Sargent
has decided not to resign, and will
submit the matter to the authorities at
Wasbingtt n.
The Deutsche Tageblatt, in calling
attention to what 1t pleases to call
Sargent's ''incompetency" as compared
with his predecessors, says: 1--WE
believe the American government is
ignorant of the fact that Minister
Sargent has exposed himself to ridi-
Guile. He cannot remain in Berlin
without affecting relations with Amer.
lea and Germany. His stay will also
be offensive to the Germans in America.

who was last August found guilty for
raping Amanda and Emma Clark, aged
respectfully 16 and II, the penalty in
the fret case being fifty years in the
~penitentiary and in the other death,
has been sentenced to hang at Gaines.
vile, April %.
The cotton exchange this afternoon
unanimously passed resolutions urging
Texas congressman to oppose the
further coinage of silver dollars upon
the present basis of valuation.
, 1884-03-09

While our legislators were 30 quick
and 10 ready to defeat the militia bill,
which was recently introduced in the
Legislature, it probably did not seem to
them that we already have a militia
law in this territory. Such is the case,
however, but the friends of the late bill
hoped to get a better law enacted, and
for that reason had the bill introduced.
1t is probably a good thing that the
members of the legislature did moi
investigate the subject very much for II
it had discovered this law they proba
bly, would have repealed it very
promptly.

This grand play, which is to be pre-
sented at our opera house tomorrow
evening, is universally conceded to be
IA grand affair. This Is what the Syr-
acuse Standard says of it:
"Of the many new plays offered to
Syracusans for consideration this season
the Hoop of Gold presented at the
Wieting last evening contains perhaps
more real merit and elements of success
than any. 1t is essentially of the melodra-
matte order, of which Lights o. Lon
don" and ''Silver King'' were forerun-
ners, and contains a plot Of thrilling
interest which is worked out with a
commendable degree of faithfulness.
The characters introduced represent q
wide range of life and were interpreted
by an evenly balanced company. Ii
the role Of Richard Wrench, the hero,
Leslie Gossin gave an excellent concep'
tion of the innocent victim of a Villains
avarice and jealousy and his strong &C.
ting in conjunction with that of Miss
Florence Noble, the heroine, was re
warded with repeated and enthusiastic
applause. AS II jockey, Harry Jackson
scored a great hit and his story Of his
trials and tribulations while in the
company of his gal was not only 6
good bit of acting but an excellen,
piece of elocution. A novelty in tn,
way of a household drudge was intro
duced by Miss Simpson and caused
much laughter"
Let the amusement goerS of Chey
enne turn out en-masse tomorrow
evening to enjoy the Hoop of Gold.

Saukim, March 8.-A messenger from

Osman's e~xhortations his followers are
demoralized. The situation appears
favorable for negotiations. Consul
Baker t~elegraphed the British minister

treaty of peace, but will undertake to
keep the road to Berber open.
