A Gard:-Having just seen copy OF the
Indianapolis Times, and copied into the

malicious attack upon my character, in 80
far as they affect my personal or probes
sional integrity, are absolutely and unqali-
fiedy false. Should any charges be pre-
ferred against me for the purpose OF
preventing the confirmation OF my appoint

An IMPORTANT CASE.
Cnster and Yellowstone Counties at
LOggerheads in the Supreme Court.

In the Territorial Supreme Court day
before yesterday the most important case
was that OF the Board OF County Commits
sioners of Custer County VS.. the Board OF
County Commissioners OF Yellowstone
County. The array OF legal tale was
heavy and the arguments pro and con oc-
upied nearly the entire session OF the court.
The firm of E. w. 81. K. Toole and William
Wallce, jr., and Sanderson, Cullen & Sand
ers, were attorneys for respondents, while
Strevelle & Garlock appeared for appel
lants. This case excited much interest.
The act OF the Legislature organizing the
County OF Yellowstone provided that the
County Commissioners OF the new county
should meet the Commissioners OF Custer
County at Miles City, on the first Monday
in March, 1888, to arrange for the pro
rata proportion of Custer County's in
debtedness, of which Yellowstone County
was formerly an integral part. The
Yellowstone Count Commissioners ar
rived on the day mentioned, but the Gus
ter County Board were not prepared to
meet them, the Chairman OF the Board be-
ing the only member present. The Yellow
stone Commissioners returned nome, thelr
term OF Office expired, Il new county elec-
ton took place, and a new Board OF Com
mlSSlOnerS, OUneF UuttI LAOSe dppoiHCCO w
confer, were elected. Custer county then
came to the front and appointed day to
meet the Yellowstone Board, who declined
to act on the plea that they we're not au-
thorized to do SO. Out of this state OF al
1airs the suit arose, and Custer county
claims from Yellowstone the round sum OF
S57, 900 with interest. The case was ar
gued and submitted in an able manner,
the best legal talent in the Territory being
engaged.
The following decisions were rendered
day before yesterday in the Supreme Court:
Territory VS.. Willis w. Garland judg-
ment affirmed; opinion by Galbraith
Judge.
Amanda Twell vs. Richard Twell ct al;
Judgment affirmed; opinion by Wade, Chiel
Iuatice.

A BIG BLAZE IN CHICAGO.
A Large Flour Warehouse
Completely Destroyed.
FIR ID M q N Nj q K AD'
The Loss Estimated at a Quarter o1
Million---Disadvantages Of
the Firemen.

CHICAGO, January 12.-The -four ware
house of Frederick c. Nehemier, Kinzie
street. took fire this morning, and was al
most entirely consumed, together with it's
contents. The loss will reach $780, 900.
The fire was discovered shortly after
o'clock, and gained such rapid headway
that successive alarms were sent out, whlcn
resulted in bringing the entire fire depart
ment to the scene. The building ana q
five.story brick building had frontage OF
nearly 100 feet on Kinzie street. 1t was
used as a general warehouse. The building
was owned by the H. A. Huntington estate.
The structure was completely destroyed,
involving a loss of 5000, 900, fully insured.
In the building was stored 400 tons OF
broom corn, valued at $1,000, one-half OF
which was owned by Samuel Boyle, who
carried an insurance OF $27,5 There
was a vast amount of other property
stored in the building, which, it is estimated
will swell the total loss to quarter OF a
million. The temperature was II degrees
below zero, and the firemen, in consequence,
were compelled to make their fight against
the flames at great disadvantage, enduring
all the while great hardships. Their only
hope was in keeping the fire confined to the
Kichemser building, as theinflammable ma
ture OF it's contents made it's doom positive.
When once the flames had gained consider
able headway, which was before the first
steamer reached the scene, some OF the
hydrants were found frozen, which kept
some OF the engines idle, but the majority
were able to keep playing streams into the
burning structure. At 9 o'clock the heat t.o De-
gan to abate somewhat, and soon after.
wards it became evident that the fire would
not extend beyond the one building. The
interior OF the great structure WAS COM
pletey burned out, presenting to the eye
simply four blackened wallis, ice-covered.
The brick portion OF the walls having fal.
len, a portion OF the northeast corner oi
the main 0 ter wall fell outward about 3
o'clock, smashing hook-and-ladder truck
which, luckily, was not manned at the
time. piece OF flying wood, however,
struck man named Drieble, who was
picked up insensible, and at first Thought
to be dead, but afterwards recovered con
scousness and will recover. Three other
firemen sustained minor injuries. The tire

Fate of tho Captaln's Boat.

New YORK, January 13.-The Maritime
Exchange yesterday had advices from Fire
Island that fshirg smack had been
sighted off the island sailing westward with
a white boat in tow. The name of the

They Meet aad Adopt Resolutions ASaanse
. aChange Of the Tariff

PHILADELPHIA, January 1.-THE EaSt-
ern Bar Conference held . meeting tAis
afternoon There was an unusually lAge
attendance. representatives, being present
from the leading rolling mills east OF Ne
Alleghanys. The feeling was entirely haf-
monious, and it was thought by those pro-
ent that business would be conducted onSA
paying basis and prices firmly maintained:
The conference decided that as freights ana
fuel, pig iron, scraps and in some caseo
labor, has advanced, the mills should ad-
vance prices ITO OF 3 cent per pound 20
cover the increase in cost OF producing.
Schedule extras for small iron was referred
to a committee for revision. The fot-
owing tariff resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The demand for all kinds OF
manufactured products has been gradually
improving for several months, and there
are now substantial business reasons foE
believing that the year which has just
opened will witness at least q reasonable
prosperity in the American iron trades
affording employment, at fair wages, to an
increased number of our people; therefors
be it
Resolved That we call upon Congress to
refrain from attempting q general revision
of the tariff at this time, believeing that
revision of the duties for the purpose OF re.
duction will check growth and cOnfidencei
and will make consumers again limit their
orders, causing serious shrinkage OF busi-
ness and involving the closing of many
works and the discharge OF numerous work
men.

A Heavy Fire at Montreal.

Heavy Fire at Montreal.
MONTREAL, January 13.-Fire broke out
in Thompson's hardware establishment
shortly after l o'clock this morning and
spread to the cigar manufacturing estab-
lishment of Fischel q Co. and to the
Mount Royal vinegar works. These build
ings were completely Quilted. The flames
then spread to the Canadian Rubber Com
pany's building, but were extinguished.
Never did q fire in Montreal destroy so
much property in so short q time, The
flames broke out shortly before 1 O'Clock
a. M, and in few hours nearly half a mil
lion dollors' worth of property was de-
stroyed. The yater supply was insufficient:
and the weather intensely cold. The hose
was frozen stiff and the firemen were COW
cred with ice. A fierce wind was blowing
and caused the flames to spread with great
rapidity. At about 2 o'clock, when the
fire was at it's height, the bells OF the Con-
vent of Providence and those OF the
Church OF NQtre Dame, adjoining the fac
tory of Smith, Fischel & Co., tolled for as
sistance. The fire brigade realized immi-
nent danger to the church and adjoining
factory, and with the help OF spectators,
saved it from burning. The sanctuary OF
the church was illuminated with tapers,
and several of the Sisters were praying at
the altar. The buildings destroyed were
owned by the Hotel Diere Nuns. The loss
on them will amount to $500, 900, fully in
sured. The losses OF occupants are not
vet known, but will be close on to $780,
600. 1t is impossible to obtain an accurate
list of insurance. but Canadian and Eng
lish Companies lose heavily, with one or
two United States Companies.

IMPORTANT LAND DECISION,
Which Deprives the Northern Pacific OF
Land Between Portland and Tacoma.

WASHINGTON, January 12.-Land Com
missioner Sparks to-day made an impor-
tant decision affecting the claims of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company to a
grant of land between a point Oh the Co.
lumbia River near Portland, Oregon, and
Tacoma, on Puget Sound, in Washington
Territory The Commissioner says the
road between these points was authorized
constructed in 1869 without land grants.
The original act of 1864 provided for the
main line road across the Cascade Noun
tains to Puget Sound. and a branch from
g. point not more than 800 miles east OF
the western terminus, passing down the
Columbia River to point at or near Port
land, Oregon, but made no provision Tor a
road or grant between Portland and Puget
Sound The Railroad Company lay claim
to grant for this portion OF the road
under u Joint resolution OF Congress IN
1870, which provides that the Company
might conduct a main line down the Co
lumbia River and a branch across the
Cascade Mountains, with the same grants
as provided for by the original act OF in
corporation. Commissioner Sparks holds
that as no grant was made by the
original act for the construction
OF road from Portland to Ia
coma, and none by the act OF 1859,
no such grant can be presumptively drawn
from the Joint resolution OF 1870. he
holds that no such grant was made by any
of the facts OF Congress, and says he does
not find amy formal decision ever made by
the Interior Department, holding that the
Joint resolution of 1870 embraces grant
of lands between said points. Although
the withdrawal appears to have been
ordered upon the filing by the Company Of
it's maps, the commissioner says no reasons
for such Withdrawals have ever been as.
signed, SO far as the records OF the Land
Office disclose. This decision affects the
odd numbered sections OF land, eighty
miles in width, for a distance OF 1O6 miles
aggregating some 100000 acres, esti
mated to be worth $25, 900. 900. The
claim OF the Railroad Company TO tnest
lands has long been disputed by settlers
large numbers Of whom are in occupation
claiming the right to enter under the Publl'
Land laws. The case OF Donald McGres
and o. Book vs.. the Northern Paclh
Railway Company brought out the dc
cision.
