Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, and a pOr-
tion of Kentucky. and that in that capaci-
ty they had established "a valuable busi-
ness in this territory, which the fire as
sociation now threatened to Odestroy. They
therefore raised a question as to
whether they could be disturbed in

represented by sub agencies they had es-
tablished, by the recent action of the fire
association in requesting their sub-agents
to deal directly with the home firm, in

Extravaganza by Her Father.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 14.-A woman
has just been discharged from the State
lunatic asylum where she has been con.
fined p years on charge preferred by
her father of extravaganza and eccen-
tricity. She had been a woman of ex-
travagant tastes and society leader in
her younger days. Her father, physi-
clan, became impoverished, but the
daughter did not accommodate herself to
the change Of circumstances, and con-
tinued TO run up heavy bills for dress, and
finally ordered a piano and set of furni-
ture which she sold before paying for
them. Because Of this act, and TO
save the family honor, the girl was
sent to an asylum in July, 1853.
Her father died and his daughter
remained in the asylum until attention
was called to her case at the National
Convention of Charities and Corrections
held in Washington last June. Investiga-
tion developed the fact that the woman
never had been insane, and is now q
woman OF go years, with sound mind and
healthy body. She has made her home
with friend, who has constantly labored
for her release.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Acting Com
missioner Walker, of the General Land
Office, has declined to issue any more
patents to the Northern Pacific railroad
pending the decision fixing the legal
status Of the road. In this regard he fol-
lows the rule laid down by Commissioner
Sparks in relation to the California and
Oregon and Oregon and California roads.
The question at issue, briefly stated, is
that that road was not completed within
the time required by law, and until Con-
gress takes definite action in one way or
the other, no steps should be taken to
place it beyond the power of the legisla-
tive branch of the government to protect
