On Sunday afternoon, about 4
o'clock, Roslyn, a mining town on the
Northern Pacific Railroad, west of e.
lensburg, was destroyed by fire, render
ing the entire population homeless,
neshing being saved except the depot
building and few residences. The
fire originated in a small building and
spread very rapidly with a strong wind
blowing and no fire department in
town. The cause of the fire is un-
known. The loss il about $50 600,
with little insurance, probably SIS, 600.
The principal losers are Ike Harris,
general merchandise, $4,000, insur-
ance about one-third; Northern Pa
cific Company's store, with saloon,
about $500, fully insured; Consel
Bros. & Co., groceries, $4,000, no in
surance; Haight, Dykman & Co, gen.
eral store, 5000, insurance 5000
Woods 4 Williams, general store, S.
600, insurance $500; 8. H. Krilee, ho-
tel, 5000, insurance g. 500; Mrs. H.
Evans, hotel, loss unknown, partially
insured; Melville 4 Fogh, hardware,
$4,000, no insurance; also . large
number of small losses, amounts un-
known. One hundred and ten build
ings were destroyed-7O residences
and 40 business houses, which includ-
ed the entire business portion Of the
city. The town is situated in = can
yon, compactly built. Efforts we're
made by the Knights of Labor to put
it out. by forming bucket brigade,
but the attempt was in vain. The
few outlying and isolated houses left,
the coal company's warehouse, and
twenty box cars sent up by the rail-
road company, were all the shelter the
people had that night. All their
clothing, household goods, provisions,
ETC., were destroyed. No lives were lost.
The town contained 1900 people,
mostly miners in the employ Of the
Northern Pacific Coal Company.
They owned their little homes and the
loss falls severely upon them.

Chauncey NJ. Depew.

Our illustration this week presents
the countenance of Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, one of the prominent railroad
men of New York, who at one time
was thought to be the dark horse who
would carry off the Chicago .nomina-
ton. Mr.. Depew has been all his life
an active business man. He has been
for many years President of the New
York Central Railroad, confidential
friend and business man Of the late
William Ii. Vanderbilt, and one of the
executors of his estate. Depew is by
no means politician, but is man
who, having attended strictly to busi-
ness, has grown rich. His interest in
politics is just as much AS every citizen
should have and no more. He was
one OF the first to identify himself with
the Republican party, and in 1861 he
was elected member OF the Assembly
from the third Westchester district,
being reelected in 1862, and during
the session of 1873 he served as Chair
man of the Committee on Ways and
Means, and part of the time as Speak
er. In the fall OF 1868 he was elected
Secretary of State, reversing the ma
jority which Governor Seymour had
gained the year before, and carrying
the State by 10000 votes. He made
q personal canvass of the State in this
campaign, speaking twice day for
six weeks. At the close of his term,
as Secretary of State, Mr.. Depew de-
clined to be u candidate again, and
Secretary Seward, in 1866, appointed
him Minister to Japan. He held the
commission for four weeks, and then
resigned it, preferring to attend to his
law business to going abroad. In 1872
Mr.. Depew was nominated for Lieu
tenant Governor on the Greeley ticket,
and was defeated. Two years later
the Republican Legislature elected
him Regent of the State University, an
Office which he still holds. He was
also appointed one of the commission
ers for the building of the new capitol
at Albany, but he resigned this Office
after holding it for a year. In 1881
Mr.. Depew was candidate for United
States Senator, and he received the
votes Of three-quarters Of the Republi-
can members of the Legislature for
eighty-two days, when he withdrew.
Iu 1884 he was asked by many leading
Republicans to allow his name to be
used in the Senatorial contest, but he
declined, owing to the pressure Of his
private business.

Gave $500, 900 For q Glass of Beer.
London Tid-Bits.

This may seem large sum for a
small article, but it was virtually paid
by man of great resources, who had
an ingenious expedient for saving the
horse flesh of the world. About ten
years ago a veterinary surgeon, who
was with the army in Bombay, found
that the excessive heat of that country
caused the tops of the horses necks
to sweat freely, and thereby produce
sores under the leather collars. All
the expedients that he could suggest
were of no avail to remedy this state
of things. One-fourth OF the horses
! used for draught purposes were laid up
BY what is called sore neck" This
vet" in his younger days had studied
chemistry, and he found that sulphate
of zinc was the best and almost the
only cure for horses sore necks," but
the difficulty in applying this prepars-
ton lay in the fact that the horse had
to rest during the time Of it's applica-
ton, otherwise the collar would rub it
of, and there was no chance Of the
horses recovery. A thought struck
him that to make zinc pad and fit it
under the collar would, at any rate
prove an ameliorative, and may be
cure. The man, though ingenious in
his way, was much given to drink, and
was looked upon by the officers of the
army as = " ue'er-do-well" with bright
ideas. While this idea was simmering
in his mind, and before he had put
it into an actual test, he happened to
be in drinking bdt. His finances
were at this time at the lowest ebb, for
his future pay was mortgaged for all it
was worth, and the publican refused
TO trust him with any more drinks.
An American drummer" happened
to be representing q large leather
house, and knew . good deal of the
difficulty with which the American
farmers Of the Southwest had to con-
tend. The two men got into conver-
sation, and, as natural result, the
veterinary surgeon spoke of the idea
that was uppermost in his mind, and
said that he thought that he knew of
q remedy for that most troublesome Of
complaints of which all horses in hot
countries suffered. The American
was perfectly convinced that he was
talking to man Of good ideas, though
bad principles, and asked what he
would take for the idea.
81 am awfully hard up and can get
no more drink or trust, 90 will give
you the idea for glass OF beer"
Done!" said the other.
The American at once saw that there
was probably millions in this, and he
conceived the notion that the matter
oozing from the sores on horses necks
would corrode the pad and produce
sulphate Of zinc-thus the disease
would provide its own remedy. He
also saw that zinc, being non-con-
ductor of heat, would keep the parts
cool. The more he thought.of it the
more he liked il, and although his
business should have kept him in
Bombay some months longer, he in a
few days took the first steamer to
Liverpool and then TO Boston. Arriv-
ing at Boston, he threw up his ap-
pointment with the house and started
the manufacturing of zinc pads. after
obtaining a pateat for the idea, and is
now worth 100000. These zinc pads
are used in every country on earth
and are the greatest blessing the farm
er enjoys.

Senator Sherman contends that big
Treasury surplus IS a good thing. Senator
Sherman knows better than that. He
knows that the Government has no right

In Mr.. Randall's opposition to a repeal
of the sugar duties as " almost pure rev

The latest report in connection with the
Democratic muddle on the tariff question
is to the effect that the bill which Randall
is framing is more likely to be reported by

getting up. There is some reason now to
fear that it is our friend Mills rather than
Randall who will be adjudged to be hetero.

Trustee Freeman Expresses an Opinion
Which Closes the Trial.
SAN Francisco, January 17th.-The in
vestigation of the charges against State Ii
brarian Wallis was resumed this morning.
Mrs. L. Morton was the first witness ex-
amined. She testified that she had been
employed as a cataloguer and in other Ca
pacities under Cravens and Wallis She
had seen two tables which belonged to the
Library in Wallis house, and also two
pictures in his house which belonged to the
Library. The witness further said that
Walks kept demijohns of whisky every
where in the Library
On reassembling this afternoon, Mr.. Jor-
dan said that during recess Mr.. Freeman,
enc OF the Trustees, had told him that no
matter If all the charges were proven TO be
true, he would not vote for Wallis removal.
Under such circumstances the counsel for
the Governor would have to decline to pro-
coed further, for the law requires unan-
imous vote OF the Trustees TO dismiss an
eInploye. Mr.. Freeman repeated his state
men to the gentlemen present Mr.. Barnes
and Mr.. Cross spoke briefly, and then the
Governors counsel Withdrew, agreeing that
1t was waste of time to proceed with the
trial if one OF the Judges had his decision
made before the trial began. Wallis and
his lawyers also withdrew, and the Trus-
tees then held private meeting. 1t is
thought that the Governor will take the
matter into the Courts, and then secure the
removal of Wallis.
