The alarm of fire was sounded at 10
o'clock on Sunday morning and every
body was drawn to the lower part of
town, where it was discovered that the
barn of Henry Weyhe was on fire. The
blaze, which was started in some hay
by children who were playing with
matches, soon set the whole upper sto-
~ in flames and although only four
minutes suficed to get The engine from
the engine house and put it to work on
the building, the fire was too far ad
vanced to save it. The only service
rendered was in protecting the adjoin-
ing houses. This was done admirably
and the department deserve credit for
their quick work.
The Corresponding Blatt,' the or
gan of the German-American Teachers
Seminary at Milwaukee, has the follow
ing: The success of the Seminary will
be mainly due to thorough acquain-
lance with the merits Of the same.
Whenever pupils from different places
of the Union have left the Seminary
and later on were distributed for work
to all parts of the country, they have
proven successful advocates to the
cause. In seeking to further its inter.
ests the city Of New Ulm stands to the
front. Although place of only 1000
inhabitants, it took but short time to
raise subscription of 1881, which was
turned over to the seminary. This place
therefore will have rendered proportion
ately, the greatest assistance to their
national institution Of any place in the
Union.

need OF.
August Doster, a son Of John Dosterf
we'll known farmer of Milford, died OF
typhoid fever, at Bryant, Oak, las
week. He was employed in harness
making establishment at that place and
was well known here from his connec-
ton, some time since, with the firm of
Henle & Marti, of this city. The remains
were brought to this city Wednesday
evening and inferred in the city cen,e-
terry on Thursday.
The Brown County tax case against
the Winona and St Peter Land Com
pany was again argued before the Su-
preme court on the 18th by Mr.. Lind
and the July modification, ordered by
said court in the matter, was vacated
and set aside and new modification
ordered, which only excludes the taxes,
interest and penalty, prior to the year Of
1879. When SO modified the original
judgment entered by Judge Weber
stands affirmed.
DR.. Stricken was called to Bryant,
South Dakota, last week to attend Au-
gust Doster who died Of typhoid fever.
The doctor says that, in that small town
OF four hundred inhabitants, there were
twelve cases Of typhoid fever and in
each case the cause could be traced to
the water Of certain well. This
speaks volumes for the theory that in
shallow water the germs Of the disease
are present the same as in water that
has become stagnant, and too much
care cannot be taken in its use in dry
eason like thepresent.

The President and the Commissioners have
wisely and with commendable public spirit
undertaken the direction of the local effort to
render assistance to the survivors of the Johns
town disaster. That effort needs to be rapid
and concentrated, and their action will tend to
aid the movement in these respects. Food
and clothing for the living, shelter, medicines
and nursing for the MANNED or sick, means OF
burial for the dead. and measures to avert the
pestilence which is threatened by the decay OF
the unburied dead, are all urgently needed.
Let Washington's response be liberal! Her
own sufferings from food can only deepen her
sympathy with the greater sufferers. 1t may
be noted as curious demonstration of this
factor in generosity that the largest contribu-
tions TO the relief of the Johnstown survivors
are the Pennsylvania railroad and the Cambria
Iron Works, which have themselves lost mill.

The damage TO the work on the Potomac flats
which TIE STAR has feared and predicted has
come. The dawdling. pitiful policy of squeez-
ing every penny grudgingly appropriated for
this improvement while the harbors Of the
creeks OF the nation revealed in rich endow-
ments. against which the capital has vainly pro-
tested has worked out its logical result Having
wisely determined that the fats should be re-
claimed, and Washington's harbor improved.
and having fairly entered upon this labor, the
nation should have pushed the work to a speedy
ending. Failures TO propose sufficient appro-
Priations, and failures to propose any appro-
priation whatever, and the failure Of appro.
priation bills in which, after hard struggle.
some small provision for the work had been
made have kept the unfinished improvements.
upon which hundreds of thousands Of dollars
had been expended, exposed to destruction
from any sudden rise in the Potomac. Wher
the work is resumed it should be undertsker
under an appropriation sufficient to COMPLETE il
and should be steadily pursued until TIE poin
OF danger from the Potomac is passed.

The Rio Grande Extension.

Work on the Rio Grande extension down
the Grande from Glenwood is progressing
very rapidly, large force of men being
engaged in grading and laying track. The
bridge over the Grand is completed and
the rails are laid and large yard is being
graded Just beyond, four tracks being lalo
for distance Of nearly a mile. Graders
are at work from that point to Newcastle,
and the greater portion of this distance Is
now ready for the ties and rails as soon as
the connecting portions Of the roadbed are
graded.
The extension, as now deciaed on, says
the Denver Nous, will be twenty seven
miles long, extending from GlenwOod to the
mouth of Rife creek. Little or no work
has been done beyond Newcastle. The
road follows the course Of the Grand river
very closely. Some time ago it was stated
that there was likely to be trouble between
the Midland and the Rio Grande, but this Is
erroneous, for the Midland route west from
GlenwoOd, as contemplated at present, runs
UP Elk creek and across the hill to point
on Rifle creek, the exact survey west OF
that place not yet having been made public.
A noticeable feature Of the new track be-
ing laid by the Rio Grande is that broad
gauge ties are used, the switch rods and
head rods are all made to accommodate a
third rail, and the cuts and curves are all
being constructed with a view that shortly
broad gauge trains will be run over these
tracks This is the case on ali the track
west of Leadville, and tits authoritatively
stated that the intention of the company is
to broad-gauge the track from Canon City,
the present western terminus Of the third
rail, through to Glenwood and as far west
as the track extends II is also designed to
extend the line to Grand Junction, or some
osherpoint in western Colorado. If salts
factory arrangement is made with the Rio
Grande Western, the line will be to Grand
Junction: otherwise, if the Rio Grande can
raise the funds, the line will be over an un-
determined route west to Salt Lake City.
The ma line west will, at any rate, be via
Leadville and Glenwood, and it will be
broad-gauge. In this way the fearful climb
over, Marshall pass will be avoided, and
much easier grades will be had across the

the Northern Pacific intends doing the
same. This will be hard blow at the
Pullman company, and it may result in
reduction Of the rates.
George Hedges, of the Union ticket Office,
is back again from a visit to Indiana-his
old home. He says there is any amount of
talk in Denver and other places east in re-
ference to Salt Lake and her prospects.

Northern, Utah & Nevada, Salt Lake 81
