The Greenwood Min Burned.

News was brought to Deadwood Sun
day morning that the Greenwood mill at
Latin, had been entirely destroyed by
fire Saturday night. It was subsequent
ly learned from Alex Dunbar that fire
was first discovered in the mill between
2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and that
incipient flames were then extinguished
by Mr.. and Mrs. Flormann, who reside
near she mill. About 8 o'clock Saturnay
night flames were again observed issuing
from the building. They had made
such head way as to be beyond control.
How badly machinery is injured it was
yesterday impossible to ascertain, The
mill was insured for $4,000 in the Lon
don, Liverpool and Globe, Springfield,
Niagara and Commercial Union, each
carrying it for $4,000. The property
belongs to Judge d. Mclaughlin, I. M.
Fish and 8. J. Moulton, for whom VIM.
Il. Mclaughlin, as trustee, entered it
for patent at the United States land Office
last January.
The mill was completed in November,
1884, at cost of not less than $3.50, 900.
It was equipped with 100 stamps, with
the best and latest improved machinery,
and was said to contain the best Corless
engine ever brought to the Black Hills.
No expense was spared in it's construc-
tion and it is now stated, that barring
accidents such as did destroy it, it might
have stood for one hundred years. The
mill was costly monument to the folly
of investing in any business with which
one is not familiar. Its destruction re-
calls one of the most gigantic mining
swindles ever perpetrated. Mr.. Latin

SENDS HIS CHECK.

A part of the mission of Secretary
Halford to New York the other day was
to deliver the personal check of the
president to the secretary of the repub-
lican state committee. This is the state
ment of the correspondent of the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, which is high
authority. The amount is
not definitely known, but understood to
be $500. There is special significance
in this sending of the highest personal
agent of the president to New York with
advise and money for the conduct of the
campaign. 1t was followed or was sim
ultaneous with circular to the army Of
federal officers in that state inviting
contributions to the campaign funds.
With the example of the president SO
conspicuously before them these en-
ployes understand that only the phrase
ology and not the old assessment pract-
ice, has been changed. The statement
is not surprising that there was a
prompt and numerous response. The
spirit OF the civil service reform of the
law prohibiting assessments will not be
found in the New York situation, as
moved by the hand OF the president.
On former occasion the voters Of New
York resented with indignation the in
reference Of q republican president with
their local elections. It il doubtful il
Harrison now will benefit his party d
contribute to the removal OF obstructions
in the path Of his personal ambition next
year. His man for governor will mol
have occasion for commencing the dis
cretion, whatever be may think Of the
zeal, Of the president.

GREENS FARMS.

There is quarrel between the families of John Becker and John J. Alvord con- corning right of way, q lane near MT Alvord's house. MT Becker claims that he obtained the legal right to use it when he bought the c. A. Meeker place. He further claims that it is established by law, having been in constant use for some 65 years. MT Alvord, however, objects to it's use by MT Becker or his family and, several times, has closed the entrance. It has been re-opened by Mir Becker and MT Alvord at last put up a heavy fence. MT Becker chanced to be absent from home when this fence was put up, but Mrs Becker, armed with horsewhip, struck MT Alvord half a dozen blows across the face and head, striking with all her might. Mir Alvord's face was cut and bruised, but he offered no violence to his angry German assailant. She return ed to the house, while he at once got 8 writ for her arrest on charge of assault and the case was heard in Westport, Set urday. Mrs Becker was found guilty and fined $2 and costs. An appeal was at once taken to the court of common pleas and the case will be heard at the coming term. MT Becker has been ad- vised to bring suit against MT Alvord for injury to property. The legal and other complications arising from this quarrel are likely to be long and bitter.

PRAGUE, Aug. 29.-The police have
forbidden the wearing of white caps in
the city. The round white cap is con-

of late been quite popular in Bohemia
as showing friendship for Russia and
defiance of Austria. A number of Rus
sian excursionists visited Prague few
days ago wearing the white caps, and
refused to remove them when requested.
The police did not attempt to make ali
arrest for fear of causing riot. When
the Russian visitors, however, got one
of their number to play the Russian
national hymn, the Austrian hymn was
played at the same time on other in
Struments. State Councillor Peter, the
Russian visitor who played the Rus

Provisions OF the Measure to Re-
press Drunkenness.
BERLIN, Aug. 29.-The Freisinnige
Zeitung has decided to oppose the main
clauses of the governments bill for the
repression OF drunkenness. The ulti-
mate fate of the measure may be pre-
dicted, as it is modelled after bill of
similar import which was introduced in
the reichStag in 1881, and which was
dropped in committee. The leading
ministerialiStS are the only supporters
of the present bill, and their support is
due simply to the fact that tine emperor,
who is the father of the bill, is in earn
est in his efforts to suppress the grow
ing evils of intemperance. Yet the
proposals contained IN this bill cannot
strike foreigners who are accustomed to
liquor legislation as being severe.
The measure provides that retail
dealers must supply food besides spirits,
and they are forbidden to sell liquor to
persons under sixteen years of age.
They must not serve very drunken
person, or one who is known to be
confirmed drunkArd. They must see
that drunken persons are guided to
their homes or protected by the police,
and they must not supply liquGr on
credit. The most drastic clauses of the
bill provide for the fOrcible committal
of confirmed inebriates to an asylum.
for the keeping of public houses closed
until O'Clock in the morning, and fix
ing the minimum quantity of spirits to
be sold at half a lItre. 1t is not eX-
pected that the government will persist
in passing the bill in its integrity. If

New YORK, Aug. 29.-The prelimi-
nary examination of witnesses of the
Park place disaster was continued to-
day in the district attorneys office.
Annie Waite, who worked in
the building until three months
ago. testified that she had often
declared that ''some fine day this build
ing will come down, and we will all be
killed." Mrs. Merrick, who lost her
husband in the building, said: 1T was
only week before he was killed that
he said he would not work in the death
trap but for the fact that he had wife
and baby to look after"
John w. Hogenkamp, who built the
structure, was positive that it was all
explosion that precipitated the calamity.
He examined certain girders on the
third floor three months ago and re-
paired them. He thought the building
was safe and that the floors were
capable of helding any amount of
weight. Alfred Peterson, who con-
Quoted the restaurant in the building
but was out of town when the building
fell, said he was always scared while in
the building, for on several occasions it
shook so that the globes fell off the
chandeliers. Mr.. Peterson lost his son
