WILL DIE.
BURNED GROCERIES.
w. HI. Goddard,s Case.

NEW YORK, July 17.-William H. God
dard, the Minneapolis, Minn., merchant,
who was a clerk for Austin COrbin, the
banker, in 1873, and stole SIS, 900 from that
firm while in their employ, was arraigned
in general sessions to-day. After Goddard
took the money, which belonged to a GUS
toner in Germany, he disappeared. He
afterwards was known TO have per-
formed several heroic acts during the
yellow fever scourge in Mem
phiS. From there he went to
Minneapolis, where he became a prosperous
merchant and prominent in society. In
court to-day Mr.. Corbin's counsel stated
that as Goddard had made restitution and a
good name for himself he did not care to
press the charge. Mr.. Goddard presented
Judge Corning with a petition in his favor,
signed by so, 900 citizens of Minnesota, i'll
Guiding Gov. L. f. Hubbard and Mayor
George IL. Pillsbury of Minneapolis. After
some deliberations Judge Corning dis
charged Goddard on his own recognizance.

will be advanced, on conditions which,
while just and generous, will not expose
the government to risk of loss. 1t is, there
fore, proposed in such cases to retain a
deposit of one-ffth.of the purchase money, at
interest, until the tenant has repaid by in
stallments an equal sum; also to outilize the
Irish church surplus to guarantee the state
from ultimate loss, but only after the for
feiture of the One-fifth retained. The act
Is to be administered by the existing land
commission, which will be reinforced by
two commissioners for three years. at a sal
airy of $4,000 a year. The gov
ernment thought it too late in the
session to appoint an entirely new
commission. 1t is also proposed to create
a cheap and simple form for the convey
ance of land. Earl Spencer approved the
measure. Replying to questions, Lord Ash
bourne said the government proposed to
limit the amount of money to be advanced
to e5, 900, 900. The church surplus is esti-
mated at $3.50, 600. The bill passed its first
reading. The Parnellites appear to be
satisfied with the land purchase bill. The
bill will probably speedily pass both houses.

Mississippi River improvements.

CpONldl W tilC OiObC.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-There is to be a
vigorous fight against the Mississippi river
commission. Its methods do not give salts
faction to people who have had experience
along the river and upon it. There is to be
strong effort 10 have the system of this
commission changed. Capt. Peter Fichels
of Cincinnati, who has been more than a
quarter of century on the river, said to
your correspondent in a recent visit here:
''The work of the commission so
far is a useless waste of money.
Millions of dollars of the public
moneys have been spent on the present ex-
perimental $50 calledD system OF improve
ments. This money is wanted. Every ex-
perienced navigator of the Western waters
knows the work is complete failure. The
Mississippi river commission should have
been better posted regarding the nature of
this great river. Its bed is neither clay,
gravel nor rock, but quicksand. They have
wasted millions of dollars in the construc-
ton of mattresses only to sink to the bot
tom of the river, and driving piles which
pop out of the sand and float off. A very
little money expended on a common
sense plan will put il in good condition for
navigation" "What is your plan, cap
tain?" First, clear the river of all OBJ
structionS. Second. open up certain nearly
natural outlets and improve them with
flood gates, etc, so as TO drain off the flood
water of the Mississippi and its tributaries.
The river current slackens its speed from
Red river down. The distance from New
Orleans to the gulf by the river
is 120 miles. From New Orleans TO
Lake Borgne Is only five miles.
Lake Borgne has an outlet
To the gulf, and is on level with the sea.
If we cut channel to this lake we GER
tainly lower the food line this much, and
by increasing the swiftness of the current
will cnt out the channel and deepen this
much. This will lower il within the banks
and do away with the necessity for levees.
There are other natural outlets of this
character which can also be utilized, and
the river greatly improved and confined
within its banks at a very small cost"

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Queer gossip
filters from tie White house. The latest
comes through Mugwump sources and must
be reliable because the festive Mugwump
finds clover near the throne. 1t Is related
by the New York Herald correspondent
that senator and three representatives
united, some days ago, in an effort to get
the president to appoint friend OF theirs
to an Office. They were jealous, adroit
and persistent and they made
strong impression on the presidents
mind. 81 am really very much satisfied
friend,D said he. 81 have almost concluded
that he is the man for the place. Where
can write to him in case L should want TO
see him?" ''Oh," said all four. ''he is here
in Washington. He has been here since
the 4th of March. You can see him at
once" Gentlemen" said the president,
''that settles your man for me. If he is
here and has been waiting around here
IDoN'T WANT HIM.
If he has any business at home he must
have neglected it, and man who neglects
his own business will neglect the govern
ment's. If he has no business, that is worse
yet. / don't want idlers in the public ser
vice. I'll look for someone else. i will
not trust with offices men who abandon
their business and come here to hang around.
When want man I'll send for him"
Some of the presidents visitors were la
menting the possibility of cholera vista
ton the other day. Mr.. Cleveland said:
Don't alarm yourselves needleSsly, for my
part would not mind if there were two or
three cholera cases now in front of the
White house. l guess they would scare off
the Office seekers" 1t is remembered that
when curing Mr.. Lincoln's presidency there
was case of small pox in the White house
Mr.. Lincoln said: '.All right; now let the
office seekers come: let them come freely;
I've got something to give them at last"
