The alleged sensational interview be-

Stories of the big prairie fire in South
Dakota are not yet all told. Alderman
Smith of Minneapolis says: Those who
witnessed the fire told me that the flames
jumped four and five rods, so that an or
dinary fire protection was OF no avail.
One man had sick daughter in bed
when he saw the fire coming, and his wife
rushed into the barn to unite the horses
while he ran to save the girl, and he had
just carried her out on the plowed
ground when the fire sprang upon his
house, his wife barely escaping. The
horses were burned. 1 saw where 400
sheep had been burned in a heap.

DR.. Duncan, we'll known Chicago
scientist, says that Dakota is destined to
be a health resort. First, because of the
pure water to be found everywhere;
second, because Of the invigorating eli
mate and cool nights in summer; third,
because of the dry, cool breezes during
the day and evening, fourth, because of
the absence of low marshes and other
malaria creating substances. The learn
ed doctor closed a valuable discourse or
the health and climate Of Dakota with
this sentence: Dakota can invite the
dyspeptic, hollow-chested young men
from the east and expand and develop
them into vigorous manhood"
The special committee of the Mime
sofa legislature to investigate the binding
twine trust reported that it found the
trust to exist; that 100000 pounds of
twine had been left over from last years
business at Minneapolis and that all oft
had been purchased by firm at Eliza

in December last at from 1211s to 1211 cts.

100000; that importers and manufact-
urers of twine and farming machinery
Lave taken advantage of the alleged
shortage in materials of which twine is
made and propose to raise the price to
such an extent as to impose great bur-
den upon the farmers. The conamitte
recommended that the state provide for
the manufacture of twine at Saltwater

The Coal Supplies Of the World.

The De.scAe HaHd<ls- Hasessfa has recently
issued some interesting figures relating
90 the worlds coal fields outside
OF the North American continent.
According 10 these, the Low Coun-
tries, Switzerland. Denmark, &er-
Germany and Bohemia possess coal mines
OF surface area Of about 5aon square
miles. Russia alone has 220a square
miles. The deposits OF the island Of For
mosa amount to something like 10000
square miles. some of the coal veins ranging
up to IS feet in thickness. The coal fields
of Austria. Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece,
Turkey and Persia cover about - 900
square miles; while those of India, s., 900;
and those of Japan 5000 square miles;
while those of China are estimated at the
enormous figure of 10000 square miles
Moreover. the Falkland islands, Patagonia
and Peru are very rich in coal, while the
southern part OF Chill is ore immense de-
posit. In Brazil veins varying in thickness
from II 10 IS fee; are found in abundance,
and in the United States of Columbia there
is an abundance OF the mineral Mexico
and the Vancouver islands are also well
supplied. there being probably not far from
1000 square miles while the deposits thus
far discovered IN Tasmania, New Caledonia
and Natal are estimated 10 cover l09 600
square miles. the larger number of these de-
posts not yet having been worked With
out reckoning the immense stores of coal in

those given above. there seems 10 be but
little prospect of a coal famine during the

APOpLExY OR eOLDp

Captain "Tom' Edmondson Taken to
His Home Sick.
1t was reported around Police Head
quarters that Captain Thomas Edmond
son was suddenly stricken with paralysis
while on duty at Police Headquarters last
night, and taken to his home in a coach.
Chief Murphy knew very little about it
when questioned today and could only say
that Captain Edmondsonleft headquarters
before his usual time last night, and was
too i'll to report for duty today
I called at the captains house, on Erie
and Fifth streets, this morning. Mrs. Ed
mondson laughed at the idea of apoplexy,
and declared that her husband simply had a
bad cold and a sore throat, and that he
could be seen but for the fact that he was
then asleep.
When asked what doctor was attending
him she declined to say for fear / might
visit him.
sYou see," she said, "that my husband
was ordered by the physician not to go
out yesterday, but did not heed him, and
today he is suffering from his folly. He
would have gone to the office today but |
prevented him.
Police Surgeon Nevins called at Captain
Edmondson's house this morning. Mrs.
Edmondson met him at the doorway and
refused to let him see the captain.
Il would not have you doctor him for
the world, y was her parting shot to him as
he turned to leave

my errand, he said:

this purpose I managed to have the COM
mittee call public meeting on the matter
at Trenton this afternoon. caused
notices thereof to be published and per-
sonal ly wrote more than twenty-five let
ters to vsrious officials, associations
and persons who I thought might
be interested. The only persons
who responded were Henry Lembeck,
Patrick Shuran and Commissioner Van
Keuren They requested that the hearing
be postponed until Tuesday next, and it
was done. Now, the members Of the
Committee from other countries say that
our people take little interest in the fate of
the bill. object very seriously to being
pilloried by any one, and especially in the

A FIRE AND A THEFT.

Lead Pipe Burglars Who Set a House
Afiame.
Shortly after o'clock this morning Off
Ger Kilburn, of the Library Hall police,
discovered smoke issuing from the cellar
of No. 247 Bergen avenue, grocery store
owned by Jacob Collier. He promptly gave
the alarm, and, assisted by Officers Mccoy
and Holmes, forced his way into the
building before any damage had been
done.
An examination of the premises showed
that the lead pipe had been cut out of the
building; and that number of wax
matches lay around the cellar The
thieves had probably, while lighting them
selves to their plunder, accidently dropped
the match on something infiammable.
Ten minutes after report of the fire
had been received at the station house,
Officer Richardson entered with John Cir
ard, plumber of No. 70 Greenwich
street, New York, whom he had arrested
on suspicion. On searching Girard about
q hundred weight of lead pipe was found
concealed under his coat, and his pockets
contained several boxes of wax matches
Justice Wansen held him for trial.
The water pipes in the premises of
Messrs. Sheehan & MCGUIRE who are en-
gagged in business on Grand street, had
also been cut away.

The family was aroused and an alarm
given, and within a few minutes the fire
apparatus in the town were at work on
the building. The firemen of the town
were quick in response, and in twinkling
all the fire apparatus in the town Were
present. They did their duty nobly, and
it would be impossible to give them
too much praise BY the time they
had reached the scene of conflagration, the
whole interior of the lower part of the
house was ablaze. With such amazing
rapidity did they work, however, that in
very brief space of time the flames were
after the fire would hardly believe that
the fire, which had such fierce headway,
could be extinguished so quicklye
All the woodwork and furniture
burned fiercely, and at one tim
the entire lower part of the building
directed efforts the firemen succeeded in
getting the fire under control, but not un-
til the building was ruin. The house
was one of two story frame buildings and
1t required all the efforts of the firemen to
prevent it from spreading. 1t is believed
the fire was caused by hot Goals falling
from the kitchen stove.
Mr.. Haberdank, his wife and four chill
dren when awakened were sleeping in one
room They escaped injury, but only sue
ceeded in saving the insurance policy. Mr..
Haberdank claims that he lost 81, 1873
which was in paper box. He said he
borrowed this money few days ago
to pay off mortgage No trace
of the box or money has been found The
stock, furniture, etc., were insured in the
German American Company for $500.
The loss will amount TO $1,000, independ-
ent of the 81, 1888 cash. The damage to the
building is $500.
John Studli, car driver who lived on
the top floor, was carried from the build
ing. He was prostrated by paralysis.

by William Deidrick with assaulting him

appear to be sadly in need of repair. On
several occasions, lately, considerable dir
ficulty has been experienced in opening
the cells after they have once been locked.
Justice Weed committed Thomas Rose, Of

city prison yesterday for assaulting
his wife, and when the Justice sent for him
later in the day, it was found impossible
to unlock the cell door Finally, after re-
course had been had to a noted safe burg
lars Jimmy which adorns the headquar-

prisoner produced.
