LAND OFFICE DECISION.
Proofs I'm Homestead Cases.
Washington special

The Land Office made rule few days
ago, which has not been formally announced
yet, that proofs in homestead and pre-emp-
tons could not be made before notaries
public or clerks of court, but must be made
before the land Office register in the dis
trict in which the lands were situated. This
in Dakota would work great hardship, as
some settlers live 100 miles from the land
Office where they filed the entries. Dele
gate Raymond has been appealed to by a
large number of his constituents who we're
notified of this ruling to secure its reversal.
The matter has been laid before the Secre-
tary of the Interior, with full statement of
the facts, and it is confidently believed the
rule will be rescinded.

A dispatch from Gen. Wolseley. COM

gives the following particulars of the battle in
the desert, which resulted in the death OF the
Cen Earle: The fight occurred near the
Nile, few miles above Dulka Island. The
Arabs had fortified pass acd had built q
small fort on the left bank of the river
When Gen. Earle's forces reached the pass
they were subjected to heavy fire from
f9ld-guns which the Arabs had placed
in commanding positions. Gen. Earle
had no artillery, and commanded the
troops 10 charge. 1t was more scramble
then charge, but the Arabs were driven
from the heights at the point of the bayonet.
and fell back slowly toward the river. All
that then remained TO be captured was the
little fort on the river bank. AS the British
column advanced it was met by a steady
and we'll directed fire from behind sand and
wattlings, which composed the Arab fort
and many men of the attacking party were
killed. Gen. Earle again ordered the men
to charge, and put himself ut the head of
the column. He was killed during this
charge The fort was ultimately captured,
but at terrible cost.
The enemy was not great in point OF num-
bers, but his position was very strong and
difficult of access. They fought with most
determined bravery. Gen. Earle was among
the foremost in the attack, and his fall was
the cause of deep lament from every officer
and man in the force. He was killed on
the summit of the hills behind which the
enemy was posted At almost the same
time Lieut.. Col. Eyre was killed.
The camp was captured by the Nineteenth
Hussars. The English success was COM
plete, Ten standards were among the
spoils of victory. The enemy's dead we're
lying thick among the rocks and in IN open
field where, when they found themselves
surrounded, they made desperate effort to
rush through an English column, in which
rush but few escaped.
The English losses consist of Gen. Earle,
Col. Eyre. Lieut. Col. Coventry, and nine
men of the rank and file killed; four Off
GERS and twenty -one men wounded.

CINCINNATI, October %, 1885.
Messrs. Manly B. Ramos & Co., Gene
raj Agents for Emerson Pianos,
Richmond, Va:
Gentlemen.-In answer TO yorr favor
Of the 9th we take pleasure in saying
that we have known the Emerson |"
Piano we'll for more than twenty years,
and have sold several thousand Of them.
We can say most emphatically that
there is no piano Of any make, at any
price, that the purchaser can take into
his home, and use every day for thirty
years, that will be more perfectly salts
factory or less expense for tuning or
repairs. The tone is even and OF lovely
quality, while the action is absolutely
perfect.
We recently took two Of them in ex-
change for new ones from college,
where they had been used ten hours a
day for nineteen years, which would be
equal to one hundred and ninety years
of one hour a day. After putting
them in order, we sold them for sl75
each. Where could you find any other
piano that would bring such a price
after such service?
congratulate you upon securing the
agency, for you certainly have one OF
the most satisfactory pianos to handle
the world has ever produced. Respect
fully, d. SUBDIVISION u Co.

THE NEW CITY HALL.

Interview OF Knights OF Labor with the Couo-
eil Committee.
At the meeting of the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings Friday evening
delegation from Assembly No. "a,
Knights Of Labor, appeared and asked
to be informed "when and how the
City Hall would be built" The chair
man stated that he was unable to give
any more definite information than had
been already made public. The archi-
tects were preparing the detailed draw
ings Of the hall, and would probably
submit them on the 18th of November.
Then the committee would advertise for
bids for the work. as called for by the
specifications, and would submit said
bids, when received, to the Council for
its action. In reply to questions, the
chairman said the committee were not
authorized, under its present instruc-
tions, TO .confne the bids to Richmond
granite or Richmond contractors, but,
individually and collectively, they Dere
ia fdror of and pould vote for both
propositions.
One member of the committee de-
clsred that in his judgment it was i'm
practicable to put out the City Hall by
days labor. The cost Of the building
was limited, and under the day-labor
system its cost neither could be limited
or ascertained before the building was
finished. The committee avowed their
preference for and their intention to favor
our Richmond mechanics and working
men as far as is in their power, and as
sured the delegation that our working
men could safely trust their interests to
them, and need not fear competition
from convict labor, as it would not be
permitted or entertained.
The delegation then retired, thanking
the committee for their courteous recep-
ton and answers to their interrogato-
ries.
