Jim Dalby'S Boost.

Superintendent Drake, of the Missouri
Pacific, announced yesterday that Mr.. Jas
Daily, trainmaster of that road at Atchi
son, would be promoted to division super.
G intendent, wi. with headquarters in Kansas
would be abolished. He said no further
changes would be made at present. Mr.
Daily has been connected with the Missouri
Pacific for the last nineteen years in diff.
ferent capacities, and is considered as be-
ing first-class railroad man. For several
years he ran a train between Sedalia
and Kansas City, and afterwards was given
passenger run on the Omaha extension.
He has been a valuable aid to the company
during the late strike, and his many friends
will be much rejoiced at the announce
ment of his promotion.

BARRACKS BLAZE.
A Frame Dwelling on West
Fourth Street Destroyed
by Fire.

About 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon the alarm of FIRE was sounded
and the fire department, turning out
promptly, was soon at the scene of the
confagration. 1t proved to be two
story frame residence, situated at the
southeast corner of Fourth and
Moniteau streets, owned and occupied
by Mr.. William Barrack. The build.
ing was beyond salvation when the
iremen arrived, but they did effective
service in saving adjacent property.
The Barrack residence was almost
completely consumed, nothing but the
mere shell of the building and por-
ton of the ell remaining. The resi-.
dence of Mr.. A. p. Espenschied ad.
joining on the east, was badly scorched
and in such imminent peril did it at
one time appear that the excited
crowd began removing the furniture,
some of which, including fine piano,
was badly damaged. Mr.. Barrack
was successful in saving the greater
part of his household goods.
The fire originated from defec,
tive fue in q shed kitchen, and was
discovered by Mr.. Barrack soon after
it started. He was at first hopeful OF
extinguishing the blaze without the
necessity of sounding the alarm and
calling out the fire department, but
the material of the building was OF
such a combustible nature that this
was rendered impossible.
The house and household goods of
Mr.. Barrack was insured for 1,400
in the Queen Insurance company.
Mr.. Espenchied carries $3.50 insur-
ance on his dwelling house in the
Washington of Boston $500 on
household goods in the Continental of
New York, and 81 ~ on his piano in
the Oakland Home. He i damaged
to the amount of between 5000 and
$500.

Want to Hold On.

"The talk of bringing additional shops
here has already had a good effect" said
Chas. Allen, the real estate dealer, yester.
day.
"Why so ?" asked the BAzoo.
Because property has advanced percep.
tibly. People who heretofore have been
anxious to sell have suddenly changed
their minds, and now want to hold on a
while longer"

Back Into the Old Rut.

Billy Walton dropped in on his Sedalia
friends yesterday and after few hours so.
journ took a run up the branch road.
Billy will be remembered as the former
popular caterer OF the City and Sweet
Springs hotels at Brownsville, but for
some time past he has been engaged in
farming near windsor.
"The life of an sgriculturist does not
suit me exactly" said the urband ex-host,
"and on the first of May will take charge
or Judge Curtis FIELDS new hotel, the
Forest Grove, at FL Dorado Springs. The
house ia commodious and well arranged,
and / propose TO serve my guests with the
best that can be found in the land"
No hotel man in the west is more popu-
lar than Billy Walton, and his success is a
foregone conclusion.

Sedalia's Public Building.

Congressman Wade reported favorabiy
Thursday, from the house committee on
public buildings, John Trimmer Heard's
BILL for the Sedalia public building. The
committee recommend $4,000 appro-
priatien, and the report gives a glowing
picture of the rapidly growing importance
of Sedalia, which, it states, has increased
from 17,01S population in 1880 to 10000
now.
With new public building, union depot
and additional shops, why should the peo-
pile Of Sedalia not be happy?

WARNING OVER A WILL.
A Legal Battle Which Promises
to be Very Warmly Con-
tested.

The announcement made yesterday
morning that legal proceedings had
been instituted to test the validity OF
the will of the late Mrs. Col. Cloud
caused quite little ripple of excite
ment among those most intimately
acquainted with the parties interested
and served for a very il teresting topic
of discussion to the legal fraternity.
Col. Cloud was seen during the day
by a BAZoO reporter, and he was not
little worked up over the rather
sensational account of the affair pub
lished in a morning contemporary.
He stated that he was so utterly sur
prised by the discovery of to him the
unknown relatives of his wife that he
hardly knew how to proceed. He
had Just been to the office of Wilksr.
son Il Montgomery, the attorneys for
the plaintiff, but had failed to find
them in, hence did not know as yet
just what course he would pursue.
"Do you know whether or not Mr..
Jeffrey, nv late wife's long lost broth
er, is yet in the city !" queried the coll
onel, II should like to meet my
newly discovered relative of whose
existence | have up to this time been
so profoundly ignorant.
The reporter, not being able to fur
nish the desired information, a brief
conversation was INDUCED in regard
ing the case in general, in the course
of which Colonel Cloud said: 81 un-
derstand that the statute upon which
the plaintiffs depend in this action
has been virtually repealed by an
other law {; however, / am not pre-
pared to discuss the question from q
legal standpoint"
Later in the day the reporter met a
prominent member of the Sedalia bar,
aud the Cloud will case was preached.
The legal luminary said that he had
not investigated the matter, but was
inclined to the opinion that Colonel
Cloud was right about the repeal of
the law referred to, and that Messrs.
Wilkerson d Montgomery would
not have as plain sailing as they had
anticipated.
The reporter called attention to Sec
ton 1865 of the revised statutes of
Missouri of 1879, which reads as fol-
lows:
"a will executed by an unmarried
woman shall be deemed revoked by
her subsequent marriage"
"Oh, that does not amount to any
thing" said the attorney with smile,
"there are a number of decisions
that will effectually dispose of
that section of the statutes :;
as / before remarked, / have
not investigated the case with suffi-
cient care to warrant me in giving an
opinion"
Of course it is reasonable to sup
pose that Colonel Cloud will not yield
any of his rights to strangers without
every agency known to the
'killful legal practitioner to cause the |
will to stand inviolate, hence an in
eresting legal contest may be expect
d when the case goes to trial.

Newark, N. j., News, under date of

Truly it can be said that one of the
most enterprising and prosperous mer-
chants in Sedalia is VIM. Smith. His
motto since he opened the Union market
has been the best at the lowest prices, and
his immense trade to-day is one of the best
indications that he has kept the best. His
show of two fine beeves on the streets yes
terday was the great attraction, and when
killed next Friday his meat market will be
crowded to the fullest extent.

1t is evident from Mr.. Tilden's
letter that as is his wont with all i'm
portant public questions, he has given
the subject of his letter long and eX
haustive study, for he writes of harbOr
defense like a master of a department
in the science of war which has pro-
voked more expert discussion than any
other. But what is most remarkable
is the attention which Congress and
the people will pay to this voice from
Greystone. A venerable man, now ut
terly removed from public life and all
political ambitions, commands more
respect when he speaks than would be
accorded to the utterances on the sub
ject he discusses of any other citizen

himself-N Y. Sun.
Ono of the most ridiculous per-
formances in politics lately is the pre-

stroyed in time of peace, but that Sec
rotary Endicott is muddled about it.
The law limits the liability for articles
to the discretion of the Secretary OF

AMONG HIS NElGHBORS.
Dir. Hendricks Last Public Appearance
Before His Home Friends.

Dir. Hendricks Last Public Appearance
Before His Home Friends.
The sudden death of Vice-President
Hendricks will call wildly to the minds
of many his appearance on the evening
preceding his decease, at the grand re-
ception given at the residence of State
Treasurer Cooper.
While the gathering possessed no po-
litical significance whatever, from the
very nature of things it contained
many of the prominent Democrats of
the State, and was very brilliant oc-
casion. 1t was at late hour when the
Vice-President and his wife appeared
upon the scene. After expressing the
oOurtesies of the evening, Mr.. Hen
bricks paused for some moments on the
threshold of the spacious reception
rooms and contemplated the scene
with smile of unconcealed pleasure.
A slight pallOr was noticeable
upon his countenancc, yet he
never looked or seemed in
better spirits, and expressed HIM
self as being in excellent health.
As he stood there, with that polished
grace and suayity of manner so charac-
teristic of his nature, he presented a
magnificent appearance, and never
seemed graEder or in fuller possession
of all his powers. There stood before
him many true, tried friend, whose
hand-grasp was more eloquent than
words. Here and there passed many a
frosted head of both parties, touched
by time and the strain of many an
anxious campaign. There were also
present several of the younger politi-
clans, who were wont to seek his coun-
sci, and who always met with a kind
and encouraging reception. The gen.
eral eagerness of the throng to gain his
presence was especially noticeable, and
long interval of Misunderstanding fol-
lowed. He has been received with en-
thusiasm and distinction wherever he
has gone, but the home hearts-the
hearts that touched the tenderest cord
how they crowded about himi 1t was
mis- last meeting of friends on earth, his
last farewell to them all; and now 1t
would seem some wise Providence had
drawn them together just once more to
receive the strong magnetic cheer OF
this distinguished leader, and his neigh
bors and friends, regardless of political
faith, who were present on that occa-
sion will have pleasant remembrance
of the last time when he appeared In
their social midst.
Mr. Hendricks, in conversation at
the reception, was addressed by some
one present with the remark that he
looked so fresh and youthful that he
