Burned to Death

DETROIT, December 16.-At an early
hour this morning the village of Wood
more. a suburb of this city, was the
scene of terrible fire. Some men re-
turning home at half past . clock dis
covered small frame house of Frank
Knox on fire. Help was summoned but
before it arrived the house was totally
destroyed. After daylight search was
begun for the bodies of the family who
were thought to have been in the build
ing. Knox was found on the floor in
the front room with his wife IN his
arms, both bodies being burned to a
crisp. a few feet away was an un.
recognizable mass supposed to be the
remains of the oldest child, a boy three
years old. Of a baby nine months old
there was no trace, and it is supposed
the body was completely consumed.
From the positions of the bodies it is
thought Mrs. Knox, who was an in
valid, had overturned lamp and was
overcome by flames before help could
reach them.

NEW YORK, December 16.-Colone
George Gray. general counsel for the
Northern Pacific railroad, when asked
this morning about the recent decision
OF the United States Supreme Court in
regard TO the taxes of the company
said: The suit of the Northern Pacific
against Rockers, county treasurer of
Trail County, Dako;a, which had Just
been decided. is in no respect different
from two cases decided by that tribuna
IN which the Union Pacific road was
party, The first of these decisions was
in the December term of 1872, and the
other was given in the October term of
1874. Rockers, as county treasurer,
wanted to collect taxes on Northern Pa
Cific lands in his bailiwick, and suit was
brought to restrain him from so doing.
In none or the cases was the title of the
railroad company involved, but mas
much as Congress had pronounced that
the patent to the lands should not OBJ
tain until they had been surveyed and
conveyed by the railroad companies. or
other parties interested, the Supreme
Court held in all the cases that that re-
tentlOn of the patent was security for
the payment of costs, and the United
States having a legal title and that
much of an interest in the lands, no
State or Territorial authority can
tax the lands. The title to no
acre of land in Dakota Territory held
by the Northern Pacific Company, or
sold by 1t Is In any manner whatsoever
affected by this decision. The company
has always been willing to pay, but
want of surveys and general inactivity
OF officials IN the land office have pre-
vented the payments being made"

ADIG BANKING FIRM
Compelled to Asaisa for the Protection Q,
Its Creditors. ].

Compelled to Assisa for the Protection OF
Its Creditors. 0
NRw YoRE, Jan. 15.-It was officially
announced shortly after the close business
that the old banking firm Of John ]. Cisco
& Son, No. 59Wall street, had assigned to
Louis May, formerly OF the banking and
brokers firm Of May & King, who is also
assignee OF Halstead, Haines & Co.,
which concern suspended some months
ago. The firm was connected financially
far many years with the Louisville 4
Nashville and Houston & Texas Central
railroad companies, and it issupposed they
had to assign from the late decline in the
securities d these corporations US well
az a general shrinkage in values through
out the year 1884. The senior partner
died last year, and on April l next the
affairs Of the old firm were to be closed
and everything would have gone on as
usual up to that time but for the reports
they were embarrassed, which were start
ed about ten days ago and telegraphed
throughout this country and Europe.
These reports grew out OF the fact that
the firm was understood to be largely in-
terested in Houston 4 Texas bonds, which
have greatly deprecated since the present
management OF the road, which caused
the coupons OF the FIRST mortgage
bonds to be bought by the Southern
Development Company instead OF paying
them direct as heretofore. Although the
reports affecting the credit Of the firm
were denied at the time they led to q
steady and increasing run by depositors,
and IL was deemed best for the benefit OF
the creditors to assign without preferences
for the purpose Of gradual liquidation.
