NEWARh.

Special Correspondent OF Gazette and journal
NEWARK, Aereh CA large frame
house belonging to Thomas Armstrong
aud situated on Iron Hill near the old
Cooch iron ore pits was entirely de-
strcyed by fire early yesterday morning.
The Are WAS discovered barely in time
for the owner and his family to escape
from the burning building in safety.
None of the household furniture was
saved except en- organ. Fortunately
theEe was no wind as the time or the
flames would have consumed the barn
and all its contents. The neighbors
turned out to fight the fire quite brayely,
but the house was doomed almost from
the first. Nothing whatever IL known
concerning the cause OF the fire. The
loss will be about 50, 500 or $3, 900 and
will be divided between the Queen and
the Royal companies. The house de-
stroyed formerly belonged to Mrs. Simp-
son. from whom it was purchased by tie
present owner.
An interesting trespass case WAS heard
before Squire Smith yesterday. For many
years the ownership of a small alley be-
tween the property of John Pennington
and John e. Lewis on Main street in the
middle ward has been in disputs. To
have the case decided by process OF law,
Benjamin Campbell, tenant of LOWS
property, occupied the disputed ground
and was OF course sued for trespass by
Pennington. Francis Hoffecker and l..
O. Vandegrift, qs., of Wilmington, ap.
peared respectively for Pennington and
Campbell. The hght was o spirited one
aud was waged for several hours before
an interested audience. The decision Of
| Squire Smith was reserved until to-day.
A small unoccupied dwelling near
McOlellandsyille was burned to the
ground on Monday night last. The
houss belonged to man named Stewart,
and the loss was about $500.
A daughter OF Powell sapp of XIX
wood was struck OF that place last Fri
day by An express train on the Delaware
railroad and quite severely injured. HI,
girl was returning from school and {
heavy fog at the time prevented her from
seeing the approaching train. She re
ceiVed such severe shock that she wal
unconscious for tevesal days. although
there was no serious bodily injury. III,
engine was not going at full speed and
merely knocked her from the trsck. Sht
is now recovering slowly.

South Pierre Boomers Will
Again Attempt to Occupy
the Mile Square.
Title to Mile Laos Land Cannot Be
Obtained Until the Treaty Is Rat
ifed-The Northwest.

PIERRE, s. D., Jan. 21.-There is now
a complete and thorough organization
among the boomers who are here anx-
iously awaiting the presidents proclama-
ton opening the reservation, and they
expect to move over the minute the news
comes over the wires to that effect. The
South Pierre boomers have also reor-
ganized and will again attempt to occupy
the townsite that they attempted to cap
ture some time since, and Fort Pierre cit
liens are making extensive preparations
to guard against renewal of the attack.
More troops have been sent from the
forts above here to assist the Fort Pierre
people and to preserve order. A special
train has arrived over the Northwestern
road having on board a number
of officials of that road, who went direct
ly from their car over to Fort Pierre,
and have since been operating on the
mile square. They are acting very mys-
teriously, and it is certain that they are
laying out what land they intend to
claim according to the recent manifesto
from Marvin Hughitt Black Toma-
hawk. the Indian pre-emptor of the same
land, has completed his residence and
now claims he will enforce his rights.
Fort Pierre is booming in great shape.
Houses are springing up as if by magic,
and all is hustle and confusion. Every
one is on the tip-toe of expectation, and
people are becoming desperate in their
greed. Every hour in the day the In
dian police have to drive parties back
into the mile square. The advices from
the interior department show that the
government is undecided how to pro-
coed on the mile-square question. and it
has certainly partially recognized the
claims of both the settlers thereon and
the railroad company, yet tries to claim
the land for the government. 1t is OBJ
vious from the indications that it will be
many years before the matter will be
settled as to the title thereof.
