WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The Dakota
contingent called upon the commits
sioner of Indian affairs this morning.
There were present: Clifford, King,
Pettigrew and Kleiner. Each stated
his views of the Dawes and Jones bills
for the opening of the Sioux reserva-
tiOn. Commissioner Atkins said: Son
general principles l am in favor OF
opening that reservation. | do not
know much about the merits of the diff
ferent bills and the interests at stake,
but | have investigated the matter
enough to assure me that there should
be no continuance of the barrier be-
tween the river and the Hill country"
There was meeting of the Indian COM
mittee of the house this afternoon,
Peel, of Arkansas, presiding. DakOtianS
were there, also, to urge their measure.
1t is safe to say that Peel and other
members Of the committee are favorable
to the opening of the reservation. Peel,
especially, is fair man. There is moth
ing of Wellborn about him. His prede-
ceSsOr seemed on all occasions to stand
in the way of the measure. Peel is hon
estly in favor of it. The Sioux reserva-
ton will, most likely, be opened this
session, and no amount of money can
buy the chairman or the members of the
committee having the matter in charge
III the house.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1O.-The
opposition to Gen. Bragg has developed
such strength that doubts are now ex-
pressed by his friends as to his appoint
ment as minister to Mexico. The names
of Secretary Bayard and Superintend-
ent of Foreign Mails Belt are used as
his principal antagonist and seemingly
with authority. 1t is claimed that the
well-known pugnacity of Bragg's dispo-
sition works injury to him in his pres
enU ambition. Villas still stands by him
in laudable effort to secure his banish-
ment. 1t is believed that Villas and
Dickinson will be confirmed before the
close of the current week. Senator
Sawyer is chairman of the committee to
which the nomination is referred and
will make favorable report. There is
no opposition to Dickinson.

Law Suit.

GAINESVILLE, Ca, Jan. 10.-For
week rumors have been coming into
this city that Tillman G. Justice, bar
ring slight soreness in the neck, was
alive and well in his mountain home.
Yesterday a gentleman arrived from
Towns county, who gives positive as
surance that the hanging of Justice was
a sham; that his body was quickly cut
down and resuscitated, and that dozen
men in Hiwassee have cOnversed with
him since Nov. 10, when he was sup
posed to have been hanged. Justice
was an illicit distlller in Towns county,
who had for neighbOr John b. God
dard. a retired lawyer,aged seventy-tWO.
Goddard was suspected of giving the
revenue officers information OF the
moonshiners, and for this reason he was
shot dead by Justice. The murderer
was kept in the Jail of this city await
ing his hanging, and when the date ar
rived was carried to that county. Towns

sixty miles away from the nearest rail-
way station, and is so cut Off that It's eX'

fore it would be an easy matter for
friendly officers to save a friend. The
editor of the Dahlonega Signal is au-
thority for the statement that Justice
was still breathing when he was cut
down.

SOLDIERS HOMES.

The National Homes All Full and
Legislation Asked on the Sub
Ject.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The annual
report of the board of managers of the
national home for disabled volunteer
soldiers was to-day laid before the
house. The average number Of inmates
present during the last fiscal year was
9.71s, an increase in five years of 1850,
or A per cent. The existing branches
are now filled to their utmost capacity,
and in the opinion of the board one or,
at most, two of them should be further
enlarged. The report says that if it be
the intention of congress to care for all
disabled soldiers entitled to admission
to the home under existing law legisla-
tion will be required either to establish
additional branches, materially enlarge
existing branches, encourage the states
to establish state homes, or to make APP
preparations for outdoor relief for those
soldiers who cannot be admitted to eX-
isting branches. Should congress con-
slider that the present accommodations
are sufficient the maximum number OF
soldiers who shall receive the benefits
of the home should be fixed by law.

the House.

Character of the Deficiency Ap-
preparation Bill Introduced in
the House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The de-
ficiency appropriation bill reported to
the house to-day is one made necessary
by the failure of the deficiency bill of
last year making appropriations for de-
ficiencies for 1887 and prior years. Ow-
ing to changed conditions the present
bill omits or alters in their terms num-
Der of items included in last years bill.
The appropriation for printing silver
certificates and 81 and 50 notes is in
creased from S27, 600 to $49, 800 to meet
the expenditures during the remainder
of the fiscal year. The bill apprOprlates
in all the sum of So, ,951, 1903, while the
last bill, as agreed upon in conference,
carried total appropriation of $4,275,-
OPS. Among the principal items omitted
is one for about half million dollars
on account of postal deficiencies and
another of $3.50, 900 for the navy that was
not included in the revised estimate.
The only legislative feature of the bill
is the following paragraph which was
inserted at the instance OF the attorney
general: That no part of any apprO-
priatiOn made for judicial expenses of
the United States shall be paid to any
civil officer who has neglected to make
his emOlument return under section S33,
revised statues, in such manner as the
attorney general shall direct, and the
attorney general is forbidden to approve
for payment any such account unless
he is satisfied that the officer has faith
fully accounted for all official earnings
that should be included in the return,
and that for making dockets and in
dexes, taxing, costs and all other SER
vices on the trial, argument or hearing
of question of personal privilege
wherein decision is rendered, the fee
shall be $3. The bill does not include
appropriations for the Choctaw judg-
ment, the FOX-WiscOnsin river claims
or the compensation of aided Pacific
railroads for government transporta-
ton. One of the largest items of ap-
priation is S5O0,000 for repayment to
importers of excessive deposits in Gus
toms suits, and another of $401, ,444 for

Poor House.
BIRMINGHAM, Conn.,, Jan. 1O.-Fire in
Eastvillage, near Munroe, destroyed the
aims house and an adjoining building
this morning and three persons were
burned to death. Thomas COlyer, who
sleeps in the poor house, was awakened
about $3.50 O'Clock by falling dishes. and
seeing the flames in the building adjoin-
ing the poor house gave an alarm and
tried to arouse the inmates of the aims
house. He then rushed into the dwell
ing where Mrs. Wheeler, the owner of
the building, lay sleeping. The smoke
was sutfocating, but Colyer groped
through it to the bed of Mrs. Wheeler
and carried her outside in safety. The
aims house was by this time in flames,
and COlyer rushed into it, giving an
alarm and trying to awaken the in
mates. There were twelve pereons in
the poor house, and COlyer assisted nine
of them to escape from the burning
building, three of them perishing be-
fore he could reach them. The pauperS
and Mrs. Wheeler suffered severely
from insufficient clothing, as nothing
had been saved from the buildings
They were obliged to take shelter in an
out house while waiting for help from
the neighbo1s. Colyer and Mrs. Wheeler
were severely but not fatally burned.
The cause OF the fire is not yet known.

of the finest equipped on the road and
consisted OF one of the eOmpany'S larg
est locomotives and several cars ar
ranged in the following order: Milk
car, baggage car, smoker and four new
monitor top passenger ears with the
Westinghouse air-brake. The train was
running, according to the engineers
story, at about eighteen miles an hour,
ard after the smoking car had broken
apart from the rear portion of the
tram. and bounded forward on the
bridge, the air-brake on the car
was applied and the car was
thrown on its side. 1t is probable that
but for this brake the car would have
fallen into the ice-bound Merrimac
river, 100 feet below. The hard pine
stringers of the bridge were badly splin-
tered, but the bridge, which is of iron,
witbStood the severe strain and was in
no way injured. There were about
forty passengers in the smoking car as
near as can be learned, but they all es-
capped without severe injuries, although
nearly all of them were badly shaken
up and number of them had their
clothing torn from their bodies. All the
ears were equipped with steam heaters
and no portion of the cars caught fire.
The two passenger cars are completely
wrecked. The loss to the road upon
rolling stock will not reach over $4,000.
The inward track was cleared at 6
O'Clock, and trains bound for Boston
were started as usual.

aire Coffee Merchant.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-T. ere was again
ansextraordinary crowd in Part Nv OF
the supreme court this morning, and so
large was it that the doors could not be
closed. The space within the bar was
impossible. AS soon as it was made
known last evening that the jury in the
Campbell breach of promise
case had agreed upon verdict the be-
lief became universal that "Bunnie"
Campbell, as the plaintiff has been
known from the title given to her by
sif.-Afbuckle in his letters, had been
successful. and the announcement OF
the exact amount that had been
a awarded to her was impatiently waited
for. At 1880 o'clock this morning the
Jury, with Nod absent, were escorted
to their seats through a private door,
and the foreman drew the sealed
verdict from his pocket. Neither
plaintiff nor defendant were in court,
and ex-Judge Fullerton, of complain
ants counsel, was the only principal
lawyer present. Judge Beach read the
verdict without change of cOuntenance,
and then handed it to Clerk Lyon to
make known. The clerk read that
$45, 900 had been awarded to Miss Camp
bell because of the failure of Charles
Arbuckle, the millionaire coffee mer-
chant, to keep his promise of marriage
with the plaintiff. The announcement
was greeted with applause and low
pitched whistles, which were quickly
sileneed. Lawyer Rushmore, of the
prosecution, Immediately moved for
extra allowance. Mr.. Fullerton sec
onded the motion, and congratulated the
defense on the smallness of the amount.
Lawyer Tilney, of the defense, opposed
the motion, but Judge Beach granted
"Bunnie's" counsel $1,000. Mr.. Tilney
then moved to set aside the verdict as
excessive and against the weight of evil
dence. This was denied, but "Baby
Bunting" was allowed stay of eXecu-
tion and entry of Judgment for fOrty-fiye
days, in which he can decide whether to
pay the $4,000 to ''CuckOo" OF to appeal
the case. The latter course will doubt
lessly be adopted.

More Indian Depredations.

TOMBSTONE, Jan. 10.-Supt. Russell,
of the San Palso mine, in Sonora, ar
rived here yesterday, and says pros
pecting party of four men were at
tackled ninety miles southeast of Vas
cassari Christmas day by Apaches. One
OF the prOspectorS named Jacobs was
killed, and big Jack Offer was mOrtally
wounded. The other men fought the
Indians off and then escaped. The
Indians succeeded in getting some
burros and provisions from the party.
The band, it is thought, is the same
that escaped from Gen. Miles near San
Bernardino ranch at the time of
GeronimO's surrender, and has since
been raiding Southern Sonora.
