CITIZENS WILL RULE.

The State Relinquishes Control
of the Commissary at Johns.
town.
JOHNsTOwN, Pa, July 1.-The state
commissary department will be turned
over to the citizens tomorrow. Major
Spa ngler commissary general to Gov.
Beaver, said to-day the work of distri-
buting relief was only begun and his
first act would be to tell the people
everywhere to send on their money. SO
that it might be applied to the people
here, who are sorely in need of ali they
could get. He also paid worthy trib-
ute to Gen. Hastings for his efficient
work. Gov. Beaver has ordered 200
two-story houses to be built as soon as
possible, and the work will be COM
menced tomorrow. He was surprised
to find that the citizens committee
was doing pre- cisely the same work that
the state committee agent, Judge
Cumins, had proposed doing, and the
governor requested Judge Cumins to
come here at once. Two witnesses testi-
fed before the coroner's jury this after
noon in regard to the SOulh Fork dam.
j. Rorabaugh said the dam was
running over from IL o'clock until
2, when it broke. He said the
waste water was not deep enough, but
plenty wide enough and was clogged
by drift. He also stated that at the
break in 1881 the earth was only dumped
in and he put in two loads of hay to
keep the dam from leaking. The jury
adjourned until Thursday evening. when
it will take the testimony of Lieut..
Reese, U. S. A., and expect to give
verdict that night. Six more bodies
were recovered to-day, that of F. j.
DAILY, late auditor of the Cambria Iron
company, being the only one identified.

ure.
Special to the Globe
WINONA, July Accurate reports
received to-day indicate that crops in
Dakota will be an almost total failure.
A party of high officials of the Chicago
& Northwestern, comprising j. NJ.
Whitman, general manager; S. San
born, general superintendent; J. E.
Blunt. chief engineer, and P. Hallen-
berk, assistant general superintendent,
came in from special trip
of investigation through Dakota,
and returned to Chicago this
morning. They found crops in Dakota
in terrible shape. The hot, dry weather
has played havoc with wheat. and In
many places over half of 1t will not be
bushels to the acre in some places.
Present prospects are all much worse
than week. or two weeks ago, and it
will be almost special dispensation if
they get half a crop in Dakota. In Min
nesota exactly the reverse is the case.
From WinOna to the state line crops
look better than they ever did at this
time of the year. and barring accidents
we shall have magnificent crop.
j. r. Martield, of o. L. Marfield &
Co., grain, returned this morning from
a trip of crop inspection over the Da-
kOta. and tells the same direful story.
West of Clark crops are all gone, but
in some places east of there grain is
doing we'll. The Lairdhorton company
to-day received orders from the Jim
River valley, and the BrittOn branch of
the Chicago, Minneapolis & st. Paul,
that the crops are almost worthless, and
in many places farmers are plowing
them under. Where there is any grain,
1t will before four to eight bushels per
acre.

DURANGO DEVASTATED.
A Flourishing Town in Colorado
in Ashes.

DURANGO. Col, July 1.-At o'clock
this afternoon fire broke out in the
southern part of the city, and in an in
credibly short time the flames. assisted
by strong wind, spread in every di-
rection, leaping from building to build
ing, until. at this writing, p. m., half
of the town is in ashes. Every business
house and public building in the city,
with the exception of the postoffice and
Strater's hotel. is burned to the ground.
The wind is still blowing and the fire
is entirely beyond control. The tele-
graph Office is threatened, and may soon
20. What the final result will be, can
not now be foretOld. Should the flames
be communicated to the residence part
of the city. which is not unlikely, what
was but few hours since the flourish
ing city of Durango will soon be moth
ing but mass of charred debris and
ashes. The fire department responded
nobly, but were completely powerless.
The origin of the confiagration has not
been learned.
The fire was extinguished after a
total destruction of eight business
blocks, which includes all the principal
business houses and three churches,
and portion of the resident portion of
the town was also destroyed. The loss
is estimated at S30O,OO0 with but light
insurance. The origin of the fire is
supposed to be incendiary.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., July From
reliable reports brought here by white
persons and half-breeds residing at the
two adjacent agencies, the Sioux COM
mission will have little or DO trouble
in securing nearly all the signatures of
the Indians at Lower Brule and Crow
Creek agencies. Lower Brule agency
is situated about one and half miles
down the Missouri from this city, and
lies en- gradual slope about one and
half miles back from the west bank of
the river. Under the excellent manage
ment OF the present agent, Maj. W. w.
Anderson, the Indians have made rapid
strides towards civilization, and are ac-
knowledged to be, with the Crow
Creek indians, the most advanced
ervation. A great many of them have
abandoned their old style of living, and
now live in comfortable log houses in
stead of the primitive tepees, which
were built for them by the government,
and they have, with the assistance of
the "boss" farmer, built good fences,
ETC., around their allotmentS and are
farming,
MEETING WITH GOOD SUCCESS.
Crow Creek agency, the only agency
of the Sioux nation that is located on
the east side of the Missouri, is twenty
eight miles north of here. Considerable
traffic takes place between this city and
the agency, and good road connects
the two places The Indians there are
rapidly becoming civilized and will be
self-supporting within two years. They
are being encouraged as much as posi-
BILE and appear to take great inter-
est in learning the white mans
method of doing business. There are,
of course, few old "coffee-coolers" at
Crow Creek, but the young and pro-
greSsive element are independents, and
pay no attention to them whatever, and
are striving to better their condition, if
that is possible, by following in the foot
steps of their white neighbors. A mill
has been erected for their use, and is
manned by Indians who are thoroughly
competent for the work, and take much
interest in showing visitors through the
institution. 1t is really good mill, and
turns out some excellent flour and meal.
Maj. Anderson, who has charge of both
agencies, makes his headquarters at
Crow Creek. He is said by all to be the
best and most efficient agent ever at
these agencies, and the Indians have
advanced much more in the three years
he has had charge than during the whole
administration of his predecessors.

HE MEANS TO WIN,
Sullivan Says He Will Defeat Kill
rain or Die in the Ring.

CHICAGO, July IA special dispatch
to the Chicago Inter-Ocean from Roeh-
ester, N. Y, says your correspondent
met the Sullivan party to-day forty
miles from Rochester and rode with
them to this city. Sullivan looked to be
in tip-top condition. with the exception
of q dull expression of the eye and a
slightly haggard look on his face that IN
dicated weariness. Asked how he felt
as compared with the time when he
fought Ryan, he said:
am as good a man now as then; / won't
say am better; l feel in perfect shape every
way and intend to make the fight the best of
my life. My training has brought me down
to 1877 pounds, but | expect to get in enough
between now and July s to bring me back TO
2O3 pounds. l shall win the fight or die in
the ring.
Muldoon and Mike Cleary were the
other membeas of the party. Said Null
doom: "John has done as | hsve ad-
vised him to from the 10th of May,
when he commenced training. and as
result he is in perfect condition"
81 have every confidence that his wind is
better than ever, and that his leg and back
muscles have been materially strengthened"
Mike Cleary said: You may say for me
that no man ever entered a prize ring in
better condition than Sullivan. He trained
down from 249 to 1877, and what there is of
him is muscle and nerve. He is in better
general condition, has better bre athing
powers, and is more skillfnl by q good deal
than at any time he ever stepped up to fight.
He has worked hard, but We have been care
full not to give him too much of it. We
shall work him on the way in baggage
car, with bag 10 hit, dumb-bellS and
rope to skip. He will be well taken
care until he enters the ring. We have with
us enough of the water he has been drinking
to last us until he enters the ring, and he will
surely be careful not to eat anything to dis
turb his stomach
When Charley Johnson, Sullivan's
backer, entered the car, he greeted the
big fellow pleasantly, and the first
thing he did was to rub the fight
er's belly to see how much fat
there was left. He said: You've
got that into good shape. anyhow"
Sullivan's response was: "Well, [
should say So" The party did not
come into Rochester at all. They
stopped just OH the city limits and
drove in carriage to the nearest sta
tion on the West Shore, when they were
picked up by special that left here at

JAMESTOWN OFFERS A BR1BE.
The first interesting break with regard
to the Constitutional convention, which
convenes here July 4, was made by
Jamestown to-day. The mayor of James
town has sent invitations to the men,
bers of the convention inviting them to
adjourn to jamestown Immediately after
the organization. The invitation is fol-
lowed by the statement that if it is ac-
cepted the citizens of that place will
furnish board to the members during
the entire session. If Jamestown were
not candidate fol the capital of the
new state of North Dakota the matter
would not be given serious cOnsidera-
ton, but as it is openly in the field to
secure the seat of government, there
are many among the delegates who
realize that the bribe has been made
seriously. The insfnuatiOn that North
Dakota statesmena are purchasable, and
that they are so cheap as to work for
their board, going so far even as to dis
obey the instructions of congress in the
enabling act, leaves jamestown in a
sa.l1 e ILL.,
for the sake of jamestown, it is hoped
may prove simply an awkward attempt
