NOVEL LOVE AFFAIR.

The Interior Department Plays the Role of
Stony Hearted and Obdurate Parent
WASHINGTON. Dec 1.-THE Evening Star
has the following IA rather novel request was
received to-day at the Interior Department from
young man living In Nebraska, who wants to
marry a daughter of Standing Bear q Sioux
chief He states who he is and incloses a
photograph of the girl, who is very nice looking
and was educated at Carlisle. The young man,
however, wishes to go and live on the reserva-
ton with his prospective wife and her relatives
and for this reason it was necessary to OBJ
tain the permission of the Interior Department
White men are not allowed to stay q an Indian
reservation, unless they have authority from the
government to do so, and this young man was
obliged to take the government into his conf
dence and reveal his love affairs. The Secretary
of the Interior considered the matter from it's
practical rather than its sentimental side, and
concluded that, while he could not prevent the
young man from marrying the girl, he could pre-.
vent him from going to live with the old folks,
woman as he professed to be. he might scratch
around and provide her with home. Secretary
Lamar will write letter to the ambitious lover,
and, while not discouraging the ardor of his love,
will suggest the practical view of the situation,
which seems to have escaped him. Until there
is some change in the present plans of the young
man, the paternal benediction Of tho Interior
Department will be withheld

FUNNY STORY ABOUT GERONIMO.
A Glass-Eyed Prisoner Whom the Savag
Warrior Was Glad to Release.

A Glass-Eyed Prisoner Whom the Savage
Warrior Was Glad to Release.
Chicago Herald
'"rhey tell me q funny story about Gero-
nimo." said man from Arizona, at the Palmer
House, yesterday while the Apaches were
raiding the ranches ia the foot hills of New
Mexico they captured white man VINO had
false teeth, a glass eye ana cork leg. The
unfortunate fellow was dragged into the hills
where the Indians we're encamped and strap
ped to tree to die. Just before dusk Gero-
nimo happened to pass the prisoner. who had
succeeded In releasing of his arms from
the leather strap which bound him 70 the tree
"'UghP grunted the big Apache chief, punch
ing the white man with the muzzle of his Win
chester
''The prisoner thrust his fingers into his
mouth, removed his teeth, and shook them in
the face of the Apache. This done, he replaced
the plates quickly as he had removed them,
and, pucking out his glass eve, began polishing
it on his knee. Geronimo had seen a good many
things in his life. but the sight of a man remov-
ing his teeth and eyes at will enough to
make the savages hair stand on end. With
out waiting TO strip the prisoner of his clothes,
as was their custom, the Apaches released the
nervy fellow and, putting him astride horse,
fairly begged him to leave the camp The set
tier needed no second invitation. Selling the
animal by the mane he rode few yards out
into the opening, when, to the horror of the saw
ages who had been watching his flight. he pulled
off his cork leg and waved it above his head. 1t
Is said on good authority that this is the first in
stance on record where the superstition of an
Apache got the better of his knife"

The members of the Liquor League were very
reticent yesterday about their plans for enforc-
ing the law to-day, though they announce that
they will file against all law-breakers against
whom they can obtain information.
They will not be crippled in their
work as they were last Sunday, for the reason
that they will not rely upon the constables to
seek information. They have appointed posse
of men in whom they have implicit confidence to
act as detectives, and these persons, they say,
will take the names of all violators.
From the indications, to-day will be as
quiet as the two previous Sundays.
The business men who were in the habit Of
opening their places Sunday have come to
like the new arrangement. and their houses will
remain closed There were many notices put up
last evening in the drug stores and cigar STANDS
announcing that business would be suspended
to-day.

fn the morning hour Mr.. Payson, of Illinois,
on behalf of the committee on public lands.
called CD bin declaring a forfeiture of the On
tonagan & Brule River land grant. In detail
ing the circumstances of the grant, Mr.. Payson
declared that from the organization of the On

ever been taken by it which did not indicate that
that organization had bean purely speculative.

ring to the statement made by persons inter
ested in the road, that it had been accepted by
commissioners and reported upon as having
been built in frst-cass STYLE he as
serted that miles of the road had no
other ballast than ice and snow which, melting
in spring left the rails held in suspension eight
inches above the ground. In support OF his as
sertion he produced photographs of various Sec
tions of the road and commented upon them,
much to the amusement of the House. A bridge,
as depicted by photographer, he declared to be

section of a mile In length showed but one rail-
road tie. while $50 foot cut was shown as being
filed with logs and brush. The bill was passed,
without a division Itforfeits 1884, 600 acresl.
The House then went into committee of the
whole-Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, in the chair
-on the sundry civil appropriation bill
In the course Of the general debate Mr.. Ian
ham, of Texas, made appeal in favor Of the
redemption of the trade dollar, and aluding to
the standard silver dollar, he declared that its
coinage would never be suspended, no matter
who might recommend to the contrary.
Mr.. Herbert, of Alabama, said thar while the
sundry civil bill appropriated less than the bill
OF last year, the decrease was attributable to
the fact that the committee on appropriations
had surrendered jurisdiction over the items for
navy-yards and the new naval observatory.
maintaining that those items could he provided
for in the regular appropriation bill He con-
tended, on the contrary, that the appropriations
for the objects named should be made in the
sundry civil bill, which would then. instead of
showing decease, exceed in amount Of appro-
priatons the bill Of last year.
Mr.. Randall. of Pennsylvania argued that
the naval committee had proper Jurisdiction
over the subject of navy-yards, but pointed out
that, even were they provided for in the pend
ing measure, the bill would still carry less money
than that of last year.
Pending further discussion the committee rose
and the House adjourned.

THE FIRE RECORD.

A st. Louis Business House Collapses and
Burns-Loss Estimated at 100000.
ST. LOUIS, Dec u.-About half past o'clock
this afternoon the upper floor Of the A. F. Shap-
leigh G. Cantwell hardware company's extensive
establishment. occupying stores numbering from
Ala to 422 North Main street. fell with great
crash. This floor was covered with heavy agri-
cultural machinery and in its fall carried down
the third floor, stocked with shelf goods
and the second floor filed with sample goods.
In momen. or two the debris caught fire, pre-
sumably from the overturned stove, or possibly
from the furnace in the basement and. with
startling rapdity, flames shot up through the
broken timbers to the roof. There were fire.
walls between the different store rooms, but all
had openings in them through which the fire
madiy rushed, and in very short
time the entire building was a mass
of fercely-burning flames. and every window
heavy black smoke. Shortly after this the roof
over No. 400, and the north wall on Vine street
fell; then a part of the front, or Main street
wall 'toppled down, the interior floors of the
whole building following In rapid succession,
and by P. NJ nothing was left but broken walls
twisted and destroyed machinery. The
fire was confined to the Shap-
leigh Building, and surrounding property,
which was, before the walls and roof fell. in i'm
minent danger, was but slightly damaged. At the
time of the crash some fifty employees were scat
cred through the building, but so far as now
be learned all but two of them are accounted
for, and it is thought that these two will be
found later Several of the men received slight in
juries in the way of bruises and cuts but of those
who have reported none are seriously hurt The
firm dealt largely in sporting guns, pistols and
small ammunition, and during the fire there was
a very active fusillade by exploding cartridges,
but nobody is known to have been hurt by stray
bullets. The house carried q heavy stock, val
ued at the present time at about $500, 900. What
part Of this. if any. can be saved, is not known,
but the probabilities are that it is all ruined
The insurance amounts to $500, 900, and is di-
vided among one hundred companies, chiefly
Eastern and foreign, in sums ranging from So, 500
to 5000.
LATER-Up to a late hour tonight Arthur
W. Palmer, one of the clerks in the store, and
John Mahan, one Of the porters, had not been
heard from, nor had they reached their respect
i've homes; it is therefore believed that they are
in the ruins The search has not yet been COM
menced, the ruins being too hot, but
water is being poured upon them
with plug streams, and tomorrow thorough
search will be commenced. An employe, named
Furlong. had a leg badly crushed, but nobody
else received injuries worthy of mention. The
loss on the building is estimated at about $780,
600. which is said TO be we'll covered by insur-
ance. The losses to surrounding property will
