HARRISON'S RELATIVE
Defeated the Appointment of a Grand
Rapids Man.

A Republican politician, in the course
of an interview with Il reporter of the
Leader relative To Hon. NJ. {. Burch
and ms management of Hon. Thos.
Ferry's Senatorial campaign, gives the
following interesting information:
You newspaper fellows have been
havinga great deal 10 say about the
Ferrys visiting Washington during the
early weeks OF the present adminlstra-
tration, aud have declared that these
visits were for the purpose of securing
an office for the ex-senator. But YOU
were wrong. For once the press was left
badly on what was going on i'll Wash
ington among Michigan men. The
Ferrys were Mt the Capital trying to
reward friend, and that friend was
Marsden c. Burch. Early in the year
they called upon Senators Mcmillan
and StockbridCe and asked them to use
their influence for the appointment of
Burch 10 be a member of the Utah
Commission. It's fat office, - 200
year salary, all expenses paid by the
Government, and it does not interfere
with a mans residence. The Senator's
were pleased with the suggestion and i'm
mediately presented Burch's name to
Il
the first name presented to the Pres-
dent for any office by the Michigan
Senators. The President promised To
consider it, and the Senators have fre-
quently urged it upon his attention
since that time. In fact 1t was pretty
well understood by the Senators
and Burch himself that he was TO have
the place. The members of Congress
knew nothing about it. and if you print
this. it viii be the first information
they viii have of it. But all un-
expectedly the news came from Wash
ingtOn that President Harrison had APP
pointed his sons father-in-law, ex-Sen-
atOr Sanders, to the coveted position,
and Burch was left out in the cold. Ii
Harrison had had no relatives. Burch
would have been a member OF the Utah
Commission today instead Of Judge of
the Kent Circuit Court. There was
just that much between him and the
Office. Now, you have a story which
has never been printed, the facts in
which not a dozen men know"

CHRIST'S JUDGMENT
Rev. DR.. Fluhrer's Ideas About the

one-AH Interesting Address

Rev. Charles Fiuhrer preached most
interesting sermon al the Pearl Street
Unlyersalist church last night on the
subject of Judgment taking his
text from the second chapter Of CORN
thlans, For We must al appear before
the Judgment seat of Christ, that every
one may receive the things done M his
body, according 10 that he hath done,
whether II be good OF bad.
Mr. fluhrer drew a graphic picture
OF the last Judgment, with thrst seated
on throne, banlshlng the bad on the
one hand and torturng them with a
countenanco OF condemnation, and
blessing the good on the other with
smiles OF inetfable sweetness, and then
denounced Il as purilc and absurd that
God, who Is everywhere, should hold
HIS court III one particular place and
at certain arbitrarily fixed time.
lie oOntended that this idea of
justice was merely figuratye and
allegorical. and was the product of our
knowledge of earthly justice, a i :
administered in earthly Tribunals.
He declared that the judgment of God
the realization of the pleasure or PAIN
of acts good or bad.
IL is inevitable, coming soon 30 more
sensitive spirits, and later 10 those more
torpid or hardened.
When the wrong is felt, when the
pain comes, that j. the day of ludg-
mcnt for thc guilty, or IL Is the moment
of supreme JOY, when you realize the
blessedness OF "A worthy deed. David
committed a great sin against rlah,
but when Nathan SAID, Thou art the
man" That WAS las day of judgment.
Jacob robbed Esau of ms birth right,
but twenty years after when he had t0
J cross the brook 10 meet hnm face Ia
| face that was ms day OF Judgment.
Napolen III took a throne by
violence, and twenty years afterward
his day Of judgment came when, in

guilty hand of slavery turned the guns

BIG FIRE sT HOWARD CITY.
A Number of Business Places Entirely
Wiped out.

loaded ontoa Hat car and tram made
up 10 20, bvt just a. il was about 10
start word Kas received that the flames
We're under control.
The telegraph and telephone Offices
were eithp burned out or deserted yes
terday AID only meagre details could
be gOtten.
The tie broke out IN Casper Schutt' :
grocery store, on Main-st., at about
l2.30, and spread rapidly to adjoining
buildings, until il seemed a If the whole
town you'd b. swept away, but after
three hours of hard work the fire was
under control. The following Is a list
OF the places burned: CornelPs meat
market, Denton'S grocery, Pipp's hard
ware, ,6aylord' sclothng store, Loyeley's
hardware, Mather's bank, Roby Sisters
millinery store, Casper Schutt' grocery,
Abbott's news store, the Baptist brick
church, Perry's law Office, blacksmith
shop, ten dwelling houses and three or
four barns. The loss Will foot up over
100000.
Five years ago last New Years the
city sent an engine and detailed com
pany TO help save the town from de
struction, and a portion was saved by
hard work. The cisterns were all
pumped dry, and the nearest available
water supply was a creek about a quar-
ter of a mile away. The water supply
is still believed 10 be insufficient for
fire protection, and this experience Will
probably be a warning to the citizens to
provide against the recurrence of the
disaster

INDIANAPOLIS, February "A memo.
rial signed by the forty-two members OF
the Indianapolis Association of Minis
ters, was presented to General Harrison
this morning, paying to him the sincere
respects of the association, regretting his
departure from among them, and wish
ing him God-speed in his new task.
General Harrison responded feelingly,
thanking the ministers for their kind
worCs, and saying he will be glad OF the
sympathy of all good people of the ma
tion. In conclusion he said: eff l am
conscious of the possession of a single
qualification for the duties to which
am called, it is the serious and settled
purpose to do right as l may be guided" !"
Among the callers to-day were Con-
gresham Steele, Supervising-Surgeon-
General Hamilton, of the Marine
Service, and Hon. A. W. Iddings and
wife, of Nebraska.
The best opinion here in regard to the
Cabinet situation is that Blaine will be
Secretary of State, William Window,
Secretary of the Treasury, Rusk, Secre-
tary of War, and Wannamaker Secretary
of the Navy, with Evarts as Attorney
General. AS General Harrison desires
the Treasury Department to 60 West, it
is reported, on good authority, that he
has selected Window for that place.
Here the selection is looked upon as q
good one.

| Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, Fe bruary 4.-Count Won
Arco Valley, the German Minister, called
at the State Department this afternoon
and had conference with Secretary
Bay ard in regard to Samoan affairs. He
informed the Secretary that he had re-
ceived communication from Prince
Bismarck to the effect that the German
Government proposes the resumption at
Berlin OF the consultations which took
place in Washington between the repre-
sentatives of Germany and Great Britain
and the United States in 1887 on
the subject of Samoa. The above
information was furnished to the Presi-
dent by Secretary Bayard with the state
ment that it was all he would say on the
subject. 1t was therefore impossible to
obtain to-day the full text of Prince Bis
marks communication. 1t is probable,
however, that it will be transmitted to
Congress tomorrow OF next day, with
Secretary Bayard's views on the subject.

toa, but she did not take advantage OF
the privilege within the specified time.
The establishment OF a station now would
appear to be an American protest against
German annexation.
The North German Gazette tonight
makes an allusion to Pendleton's being
unwell. This is construed as an indica-
ton that the appointment of new
American Minister is desirable.

respondent Of the Duly Telegraph says
it is certain that the German Consul at
Samoa will be removed. Prince Bis
marck is extremely annoyed at the

In the fourth round Lannon apparently
had his opponent whipped, but he failed
TO follow up his advantage. For the last
five rounds Godfrey showed to better ad-
vantage, but both were weak and
their blows did very little execu
ton. At the end of the fifteenth
round, Lannon expressed desire to con-
tinue, but as the understanding, arrived
at previous to the fight, was that, in case
neither contestant was knocked out at
the end OF fifteen rounds the match
should be declared draw, the referee sc

VIENNA, February A. Enormous
crowds are awaiting to view the remains

talions of infantry and squadron Of
cavalry are regulating the movements OF
the throng.
AS the day wore on the streets became
more and more densely packed with
people anxious to gain a vantage point
from which to view the remains OF
Crown Prince Rudolph. The crush was
SO great that line of troops, formed to
keep the way to the chapel open, was

confusion and the injuring of number
of persons. Many women who got
caught in the great crush tainted, and
were with difficulty extricated and car.
ried out of the crowd.
