A SENSATION.
A Congressman Killed by an Unnecessary
Operation.

HASTINGS, NEB., August 20.-Some-
thing of sensation was created by the
report of the autopsy over late Con-
gresham Laird.
This examination brought out the
surprising fact that'Laird was sound
man physically. Every vital organ of
his body was found to have been in Il
healthy condition. He was getting
we'll, and, with hiS vital organs unim-
paired, it was only a question of time
when he would have been restored to
full vigor. This was prevented by most
unhappy circumstances.
Eminent physicians had declared
that Laird was not suffering physically
and that a surgical operation was dam
gerous and unnecessary, and yet his
death is attributed directly to the ope-
ration performed just few days before
his demise. His death was directly
attributable to blood poisoning, caused
by said operation.

Forest Fires Extinguished.

HELENA, August, 20.-A heavy rain,
general throughout the territory, fell
all Sunday night and the forest fires
which have been raging for the last
week, are checked in most places-and d
put out in others. The fires originated
from two causes-hghtning and camp
fires, and millions Of feet of the most
valuable lumber in the territory have
been destroy i as we'll as valuable
ranges burnt over.
This has proved an incalculab!e loss
to the stockmen, who have in some in
stances taken their cattle into British
possessions, where they are charged a
good round price for grazing privileges.

"a TEMPEST IN THE (wFtTE HOUSE

TEAPOT"

It would appear, by what some OF
the papers have said, that there IS a
disturbance among the pots, Kettles
and of. the White House.
It seems. that Madame Harrison,
"with an eye to economy and thrift"
peremptorily ordered the dism'Ssal OF
her $50 French cook as sl5 colored
cook "would do quite as we'll" ms IS
done because there will be more or less
absence from the White House during
the heated term. But as Madam le
cook is nnder contract for the season
she very justly demurs, and has plaeeo
her case in the hands of an attorney.
Some might think it funny to see
Grandpa Harrison going before mag
istrate "to show cause" &c. We think
it would be highly discreditable, under
the circumstances, to the representa-
tive of the nation. -,
The "frst lady of the land' should
entertain elegantly, hospitaDly anu

notable and dsstingue-prrinces, nobles'
senators, judges and ladies OF distine-
ton. Her French cook would help

BALTIMORE, August l7.-Detectlve

take Jake Kilrain. the pugilist, to

told him that Jake was out on bail and
not returnable until Thursday. Kill

Child's arrival and John l.. Sullivan's
sentence to twelve months in the PEN
itentiary, and being mindful that ii
was this same Detective Childs that
took Sullivan to the land Of punish
ment, remarked 'h-l."
The law for the collection of forfeited
bail in Maryland is quite defective. and
should kilrain, alarmed at Sullivan's
fate. skip, his boudsmen would not
likely have 20 pay the $1,000. When
Joe Beard, the Baltimore dive keeper,
fled, ane his bondsman promptly paid
the 81 ,0OG bail even the clerk OF the
Court gave him the laugh.
KILRAIS VERY SHY OFTHE MISSISSIPPI
BALTIMORE, August 20.-There isan
effort being made to Obivate the ne
cessity Of Kilrain going personally to
Mississippi to give bail for his appear
ance at the next term OF Court. Owing
to the present session expiring next
Saturday it will be impossible TO try
Kilrain at this term. The effort is to
secure some reputable citizen Of Missis-
sippi to goon his bond, without re.
quiring his presence. In the event OF
the failure to accomplish this scheme,
Kilrain will he forced to accompany
Detective Childs South on Thursday.
Joseph Whyte, kilrains lawyer, is
authority for the above, and is also of
the opinion that the authorities Of
Mississippi are not anxious to prose
cute Sullivan and kilrain, but are after
the revocation OF the Queen ana Cres-
cents charter Detective Childs also
said it was not Sullivan and Kilrain
they were after, but they had to get
the fighters to II ght the railroad COM
pany. If the arrangements to save
Silrain's Journey South fails thetighter
will appear on Thursday before Judge
Duffy, as the writ Of habeas corpus is
made retuTable on that day.

Of Bud Renaud for abetting the Sulli-

FALL OF TEMPERATURES.

A gentleman, living at Gadsden. said
to-day that he knew that a fall of one or
two inches of rain in two hours would
be very heavy, but that the least he
could estimate the rainfall last night
was twelve inches. The fiat country
in that vicinity was transformed into
one bigrlGke, and for over mile and a
half the railroad was completely under
water. Capt. Little, of the South Car
olina Road, was at the scene of the
washout early this morning, and he
says that it is impossible to, imagine
such a rain. He had never. seen or
heard of anything like it.
