Commission, who would therefore
1t is understood, consider the pred
enoe OF Water Department workmen on
the park grounds, without permission
from the Park Commissioners, as nothing
else thnn tSespsss.
At this crisis of the question the point
Ia clear that the officials are seeking to
ascertain who has paramount rights.
Notwithstanding the assumed frienGli-
ness and asserted understanding between
the heads Of departments, there is no
doubt they are ut daggers drawn solely
upon this point of official etiquette. The
Park Commission demands that whenever
the Water Oommipsion wishes to make
| repairs at the race or to pass through
park property they must first make appii-
cation and get permission to dc so from
the park authorities. On the other hand,
the Water Department laugh in derision at
such red tapeism, and cite in argument
that following any freshet, possible at
any time, it would in the emergency be
necessary to rush to the break in the race
and repair damages without further ado,
as the water supply might be endangered
during any delay. In addition, they
claim that the park is citv property, and
the department, as city officials, ought to
have unimpeded access to the race.
The act establishing the Board Of Water
Commissioners, elso is cited to demon
strate the Iatter's rights" hereby
created, constituted, &C., to take, con-
vey into and throughout the city, the
water Of the Brandywine river
to take and hold lands, &c."
The assertions of City Solicitor Tur'
ner, who is legal adviser for both cor.
tending parties in this crisis, are extremely
interesting. In turn he is button lied
| by representatives of either commission,
and it is wonderful TO the obsarvant citi
zee TO notice how successful the public
prosecutor is in raising the hopes of one
side when the other is absent.
When asked squarely on Friday bJ
a reporter whether the Water Department
| could be considered trespassers under
the circumstances in contention, he re
| piled that the Water Department under
such an emergency as tho breaking down
of the race bank, which would endangel
the public water supply, had right tC
| go to work without the Intervention o.
official preliminaries. "That's only com
mon sonae," he added.
sErTLED WITHOUT TURNING A HAIR.
AT the postponed hearing OF the cas-,
of Foreman Gill of the Water Depart
ment, at Squire Monghsn's office Frida,
afternoon, President Canby made state
ment TO Squire Monaghan, saying tha
President Porter of the Water Department
and he had held a meeting when all tn,
questions had been amioable settled be
tween them. City Solicitor Turner mad,
some remarks ending with the statement
that the war is over. Squire Monaghan
accordingly dismissed the case.

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
LAUREL, Sept. 27.-The granary of
William 8. Moore, in Brooklyn, suburb
of this town, caught fire and was burned
last evening. The building was filed
with hay, and was soon msss Of ruins.
The flames also extended to his barn,
warehouse and stables, and at IL O'Clock
q mculdering mass of ruins was all that
was left Of these spacious buildings. The
warehouse contained 5000 berry crates
and farming implements, which were q
total loss, as nothing was saved excepting
the stock.
Soon after the fire was discovered rain
began falling which saved large part of
the town as the fiery embers were blown
several blocks. Mr.. Moore's residence
was saved. though the fences were
burned from around. Mr.. Moore YVES
over in town when the fire broke out, and
on being informed of the circumstance
he rapidly repaired to the scene shouting
save my horses. He then sank to the
ground in helpless state. Friends soon
restored him to consciousness when he
called for his gun.
The prevailing opinion is that 1t was
fred by an incendiary. Mr. Moore sus-
pects a party whom 1t is believed he
would have shot down on eight. Mr..
Moore is an aged man, widely known
throughout the Peninsula as the straw
berry king. The Ions on building is es,i-
mated OF $1,000 and on contents at
$4,000. There is an insurance Of about
80, 900. During the excitement while il
was supposed everybody was rendering
assistance dozen worthless negroes were
carrying off the household goods.

PoBTLAND, OREGON, Sept. 26.-The rulings
made by the late Commissioner Sparks OF
the general land office, have caused great
deal OF trouble In the northwest. Many
persons who took up claims under the tim
ber lana act and paid $3.50 per acre, could
not get patent for them on account of
Sparks ruling that they were agricultural
lands. number OF persons brought suit
against the government to compel an issue
OF their patents, and Judge Dealy decided
that the department must issue the patents
In cases where the land had been paid for
and certificate issued to the purchaser.
The Supreme Court OF the United States,
however, decided that the department
could not be forced to Issue patents and the
government still holds on to the money
paid for the land as well rs TO the land
itself. Now an attempt Is TO be made to
force the government to disgorge the
money It has taken for these lands. A. q.
Emmons, to whom three persons have as
signed their claims, brought suit In tho
United States circuit court yesterday
against rhe United States government to
recover 81, $50, the amount paid for three
quarter sections of land, and $40 for ed-
vertjsing each. This is the first case Of the
kind brought, and the result will be locked
for with interest, as the government is hold
ing hundreds of thousands Of dollars OF
settlers each.

He doesn't know anything about the

He doesn't want to go there again. He
