EDITOR APPEAL:-I wish to ex
pain a little trouble which has bee
raised by'my building a fence on
in Telegraph street. The obstruc
ton caused the City Marshall to ap
pear, and considerable interest. was
manifested as to whether the Marsh.
| all would order it taken down, but
he did not, as l had the consent OF
that officer before l started in. He
simply told me that there was a
protest, or some kicking. 1 could
not find out who was kicking but I
lay it all to my neighbor, E. r. Ell
rod, and as it comes from him
feel it advisable to inform my fellow
citizens who may hear his griev-
ance that they shall not form
any opinion until they hear my
side, and for that I ask the indul-
gence of the editor of the APPEAL.
AS I am about to build dwell
ing for my family between Elrod
and my store, the room l require
takes up every foot l own there,
but [ consented to stay two feet
away from the line with my wall,
which is entirely lost to me for the
benefit of my neighbor, who still
seems unsatisfed, and objects to
my using part of the street to build.
His feeling seems to be so bitter,
that he will stop my building if he
can, because he thinks | will build |
a better house, and his might not |
look so good close to mine. But to
show up my neighbours selfshness, |
greed and gall 1 will publish what
he told me when l offered to buy
his corner lot after the fire two |
years ago, when l secured a place |
for him which he admitted was /
but he saw fit not to sell
Or accommodate me. I told him
that if | built again l would not
have room enough. l do not COM
plain OF his not selling to me, but I
10 complain OF his unreasonable
demand to leave him more ground.
when he could easily have pro-
ected himself when he built his
house. Mr.. Elrod cannot deny
hat l gave him fair warning. 1
old him that I needed larger
aouse than before. Why, then,
Id he not 60 further East with his
house if he wanted more room on
hat side? But he wanted to
rowd me close up to the wall and
hut out the light from my own
that he might have more
ight. He asked me why l did not
make rooms over my store for my
amily. l said nothing, but after
nalysing it l thought the PROPOSE
ion contained two-thirds gall, the
alance mixed with cheek and sell
shness. The fact of the matter is,
have courted the good will of my
eighbor Elrod too much and
20 long. l could not dig a water
oset in my yard but that 1 had to
ar his objection, and now because
don't give him all he wants, and
lie Lord only knows what he does 1
ot want, he stoops to this small :,
usiness OF protesting against the
mporary fence, partly in the a
rect. The fence is up, and will p

FIGHTING FOR SILVER.

] stewart scores tho Tricxery o.
the Gold Bags.
Il During Stewards campaign he
was continually charged with help
ing to denonetize silver and it was
claimed that if he went to the SEN
ate he would help the gold bugs.
| The Silver State says:
| Senator Stewart arraigned Sher-
man for his connection with the de-
monetization act and also for being
the author OF the act of March 1869,
which made the bonds payable in
coin, not in greerbacks, with which
the soldiers were paid, and which
those who supplied the armies were
compelled to receive. He denounc-
ed as atrocious and insulting the
argument used by the bond holding
aristocracy that the fall in silver as
compared with gold was caused by
an over production of the former
metal, when the proof is overhelm-
ing that silver did not decline in
value untilit was excluded from the
miuts of United States and Europe,
although its production, as compar-
ed with that of gold, was less when
tue two metals parted in 1876 than |
at many former periods. He con-
tended that the United States should |
have an Independent financial poll
cy, though the representatives of |
the bond-holders say that it is inn
possible, as the restoration of silver
to Its place as money by the United
States alone would oyewrhelm us
with an avalanche of silver. He
ans~ cred that argument by saying
that before the avalanche can come
there must be a source of supply
come where to produce 1t, and as
there is no accumulation of silver
in either Europe or America, and
no silver ever comes from Asia,
there ia no accumulation of bullion

Senator Stewart asserted that he
vas never knowingly party to the
characterization of silver, avowed
hat be voted for the bill upon the
aith OF the statements of the Chair ,

A Vigilance Committee Formed at Spokane
Falls to Ferret Out Fire Bugs.
SPOKANE FALLS, W. T, Sept. 19.-The
incendiary fires on Sunday and early yes
terday morning have created intense ex-
element, and a vigilance committee was
formed last evening and $1,000 reward
offered for the capture of any guilty per-
son. All disreputable persons were warned
to leave town under pain of hanging.
On Sunday two fires We're started in
buildings where no stoves were used.
Early Monday morning big lodging house
was fired and the dodgers escaped with
great difficulty. One man is evidently
burned to death, as no trace of him could
be found. Soon afterward four other fires
were started in different parts of town.
The incendiary fires yesterday were
serious. The confagration in Pierce's
clothing house was we'll under way when
discovered. but hard work saved much
of the stock. Before the firemen had left
the building another alarm was rung in,
the fire being this time in the Cottage
Hotel on Main street. Here also the fire
was well under way when discovered and
the inmates had barely time to escape.
The fire spread to the Nevada House and to
q livery stable, both of which were de-
stroyed.
Last night the streets were patrolled by
armed men, and if the persons who set the
fires can be caught they will be promptly
lynched. Saloons and gambling houses
have been closed and no one except the
guards are allowed ON the streets after
ten O'Clock. The loss by yesterdays fire
was $4,000,

THE FUR SEAL FISHERIES.
Necessity of Restricting the Fisheries in
the Behring Sea,

Necessity of Restricting the Fisheries in
the Behring Sea.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Information has
been received here from Canadian sources
to the effect that the fishermen of British
Columbia are quite as much interested in
the preservation of the Alaska seal fisher
les as Americans are and that they would
be willing to join in any measures the OBJ
ject of which would be to perpetuate the
fisheries. This question may ultimately
have some relation to the complications as
to the Behring sea fisheries seizures which
have arisen between the United States and
Canada. 1t appears that the track of wa
ter highway in which the Canada schooner
Thornton and her boats were seized by
the United States revenue cutter is directly
in the line of waters i'll which the fur seal
are plenty. Canadians themselves admit
that if these waters were opened to the
world TO fish in the fur seal would soon be-
come an extinct animal. The zeal of the
hunters to capture all the seal they can is
controlled in that region by the regula-
tons of the United States Government
which are designed to preserve the ami
mails so that only the natural increase will
be captured. If, however, the waters of
the Behring sea should become a common
highway for all fishermen the result would
undoubtedly be the speedy destruction of
the fur seal fisheries

THE ALASKA COMPANY.

The Alaska Company Charged with Mo-
nopolizing the Entire Trade of Western
Alaska, to the DetrIment of All Bu5
Themselves.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Chichester Seeber,
formerly United States Commissioner
for Alaska at Ounalaska, sent the House
committee on merchant marine letter
yesterday concerning the Alaska CON-
pany and the seal fisheries which the
committee now has under considerable n.
In this letter he claims that the company
uses the power of its contract with the
Government to monopolize the whole
trade OF Western Alaska; to Cypress tie
inhabitants of that country, End to retard
its development. All commerce with
this part Of Alaska, he says, is done
through the rivers and Behring sea AT
the instance of the company, and any
vessel found there is searched, and any
furs which it is found to contain, in wha:-
ever manner obtained, are seized and
sold. This, he says, prevents trade wi h
the country, and results in most cases in
irreparable loss.
Mr.. Seeber also accuses the company
OF freezing out n competitor by raising
the price OF skins above the London
price and lowering them again when tn >
competitor had been driven from the
field The company, he says, prevents
the development Of the adjacent country
by discouraging prospectors and miners,
and refusing to sell them food when they
are in need. The letter was read before
the committee yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Mcintyre, the Superintendent of
the company, said that the company had
paid a rather high price for furs when a
rival appeared in the field, bat he
thought this legitimate. He said that
Seeber owed the company two thousand
dollars for rent and money borrowed
when he left its emOloV

crushed to death and Conductor Bockus

SILVER JUBILEE.

Celebration of Archbishop Corrigan's Sac

Cathedral, New York-An Occasion of
Great Dignity and Religious Pomp.
NEW YORK, Sept 20.-The twenty fifth
anniversary of the ordination of Arcl-
bishop Corrigen as a priest was cele-
brated to-day by pontifcal high mass
in st. Patrick's Cathedral At half past
ten O'Clock, when the services opened,
every seat in the cathedral and even the
aisles was filled by distinguished audi
ence. In the sacristy over two hundred
priests and altar boys were gathering,
robing themselves for the mass. Prompt-
ly at 1870 the procession was formed,
led by the priests and monsigDOrs, the
visiting bishops, the Archbishop and
twenty altar boys following in the order
named. The Archbishop. layi--g aside bis
royal robes, walked to the altar and began
the celebration of the mass. He was as
sisted by MonsignOr Preston. Assistant
priest T. J. McClOskey deacon Of the
mass, and others. After the solemn pom
tifcal mass was ended, Vicar
Father DOnnelly read the address 20
Archbishop Corrigan upon the compile
ton Of his silver jubilee. The address,
after eul ogizing the Archbishop, say:
eyes, truly there is an inspiration in
the scene, and under its guidance
let US transport ourselves back
to that other scene which was witnessed
a quarter of a century ago tn is dav II the
historic temples o. the Eterna! City. Il
was a time when the Holy Father was
still in the possession OF great part o.
his own. The glorious traditions and
holy memories of the past yet clustered
with almost pristine vigor around tie
holy places when you came as ayouth from
the young Republic beyond the waters
to drink in life giving streams OF science
and sanctity, to garner in the treasure
house of a ready intellect the wealth OF
sacred lore" Feeling allusion was made
to the priesthood and TO the ecclesiastical
labors of His Grace's long and laboriou
career.
Mr.. Field, president Of the Catholic
club, delivered an address on behalf of
the laity, and a student from St Johns
College followed with one from the pupils
OF that institution. The occasion was OF

THE CORINTH CANAL.
-Four Miles Long and to Cost About
Millions of Dollars.

-Four Miles Long and to Cost About Six
Millions of Dollars.
Good progress is being made with
the canal across the Isthmus of Corinth,
which is being constructed by French
company. The company has received
liberal concessions of land from the
Government, there being however a
proviso that there never shall be any
claim for subsidy on behalf of the
contractors. The canal will measure
close upon four miles from sea to sea,
with width of 131 feet, and will be
excavated to the depth of twenty-six
feet below the sea level, mostly
through solid rock, and the expendi-
ture will be FL. 100000. The depth of
water will be the same as in the Suez
canal. The work is being prosecuted
by $500 men, and is expected to take
three years from now for its COM
pletion. Tbs appliances used at pre-
sent include fifteen engines, each
drawing from sixty to seventy trucks.
At the western end of the canal, on
the Gulf of Corinth. are situated all
the large depots and Offices of the
canal company. Here a new town is
growing up, called Isthmia- The
depth of water a short distance from
the shore is thirty fathoms. The
work is most irksome and expensive,
the canal having to be blasted rather
than excavated. The sides of the
canal are of solid granite, and there
will consequently be no washing away
or necessity of dredging. The tariff of
the canal will be fixed at low figure,
so as to catch all the coasting trade,
and it is fully expected that, in spite of
the great expense of the work, it will
pay well in the end.-IrOn.

A DAKOTA BLIZZARD.
Storms That Bring With Them Blasts Q
Finely-Powdered Ice.

Storms That Bring With Them Blasts of
Finely-Powdered Ice.
Little or no snow falls in Dakota
from November to April. 1t is too
cold to snow, and the blizzard is not a
snow-storm Tin the ordinary sense of
the word), but a cold wind which
comes sweeping down from Behring
Strait, with velocity of from fifty to
sixty miles an hour, bringing with it
blast of finely powdered ice. Imag-
inc thick fog, all of ice, blown along
by high wind; the tiny particles,
coming with such velocity, sting like
blow from whip-lash.
Nothing can stand before it. Those
buffalo and cattle, who are used to it,
make for the lee side of the nearest
hill, haystack, or building, and hud-
die close together for safety, trusting
to being covered by the snow, and
thus kept warm; when, if the storm
does not last too long. they may escape
alive.
You can not see across the street
from one house to another, and men
have been frozen to death within a few
feet of home and safety. The Their
mometer falls many degrees below
zero, beyond the power of mercury to
measure it; only the best spirit ther-
mometers can be used for these low
temperatures. When going with the
wind you are driven along with resist
less force; if against it, you are
knocked down and buffeted about; I'M
less you are so fortunate as to find
speedy help and shelter, you are al
most sure to be frozen to death.-MrS.
