The hIackin Alattar

CHICAGO, Nay 21.-The writ of error
asked for in the case Of Joseph G.
Mackin and William j. Gallagher, and
argued before Judge Gresham and JUS
tice Harlin, was decided this morning.
The two jurists disagree. The effect of
this is that the question will go to the
United States supreme court, and in the
meantime the convicted parties are re-
leased on bail pending the decision.
MAckin and Gallagher were con-
victed of rit1ing the ballot
box in the Third precinct
of the Eighteenth ward at the recent
national election, and substituting bogus
ballots for those cast by the electors.
Their prosecution was based upon the
fling of criminal information against
them by the United States district at
torney, and the point was urged by their
attorney In the present instance that
their offense partook of the nature OF
an infamous crime in the meaning OF
| the United States statutes and
| that criminal information was moi
| adequate, but that the accused
should have been regularly indicted by
the grand jury. On this point Justice
Harlin and Judge Gresham disagree
the fermer holding that the conviction
of the men was adequate and complete
| The prosecution of the two men has beer
long and expensive and great interes
conferred in the result, owing 70 prOmi
nence of Mackin in local political at
fairs. If the supreme court should sus
tain Judge Gresham, the prosecution
would have to be renewed. In tn
meantime indictments against Macki
and Gallagher are pending in the pre-
| bate court

thentic account of the origin of the Sui
lIYan fire of yesterday. was found by the

ana he went home. He says he was sent
down to the first floor yesterday to get
two gallon can of benZine. He got 1t
from Ortiz & Vessel who kept
q dye house. On the first floor,
going up the second floor
he was passing along narrow
passage, beside the presses in the dIrec-
ton of the elevator shaft, when in the
dark he stumbled and struck the can
against q press and broke the glass. The
benzine flowed out and as the pressman
had gas light burning there, the gas

tinguished the fire on his person and
then ran down to the drug store as be-
fore stated. The coroner will begin the

RULES FOR rus PURCHASE OF
SHAVER.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
issued circular embracing the rules
adopted by the Department fer the .pur-
chase of silver bullion. These rules
state that bids for the sale of silver
bullion, in lots of not less than 10, 900
ounces, and its delivery free Of expense
to the Government at any specific Mint,
Will De received every Tuesday and
Friday until 2p. M, by telegraph or
letter, addressed to the Treasurer Of
the United States, Washington, ID. C.
The bids must state the quantity Of.
Tered IN fne ounces and the price per
ounce fne, payable in standard dollars.
The bidders whose offers may be &C.
cepted. either as to the whole amount
offered, or any part thereof, will be no.
tined by mail or telegraph, and delivery
muse 90 completed within ten DAYS
from the date of ace sptance of the offer.
1t is also stipulated that when the bull.
lion furnished is of ~ character that re.
quires parting or refining, the usual
Mint charges for these operations will
be paid by the seller.
These rules practically deprive miners
who produce small quantities of bullion
OF the advantage of disposing of their
product at the MINIS. As the coinage
OF silver Is suspended at Carson and
San francisco. the seller must pay the
cost OF transporting bullion to Philadel.
ph'a. aud deliver it within ten DAYS
from the date of its purchase by the
Government, it virtually cuts off Nevada
miners from the list of bullion sellers to
the Mint.
