A GOVERNOR OUSTED.
The Supreme Court Holds That Mr..
Boyd is Not q Citizen OF Nebraska.

The Supreme Court Holds That Mr..
Boyd is Not a Citizen Of Nebraska.
The Nebraska Supreme Court has handed
down a decision in the quo warranto case
in which Ex-Governor Thayer contested the
right of Governor Boyd to hold his office.
The opinion written by Justice Norval and
concurred in by Justice Cobb, grants writ
of custer against Governor Boyd and finds
that Mr.. Thayer is entitled to the Office.
Governor Thayer took the oath and filed his
bond, and MIR. Boyd turned over the Office
to him.
The decision of the court is based on the
ground that Mr.. Boyd was not citizen of
the State at the time of his election. He
came from Ireland with his father, but his
father had neglected to take out his second
naturalization papers.
Judge Maxwell, in his dissenting opinion,
holds that Mr.. Boyd, being a citizen of the
Territory when it became State, became
citizen OF the United States by virtue Of the
Enabling Act.
Mr.. Boyd will carry the cas-, to the Su-
preme Court Of the United States
At the election last November there were
three candidates for Governor, and James E.
Boyd received plurality Of ll4 over
Powers, the Farmers Alliance candidate,
tho balance Of the State ticket elected being
Republicans After the result was declared
the claim was made that Mr.. Boyd was not
eligible to hold any Office, not being citizsl
Of the United States. It seems that his father
came to this country while James was minor
and the father never completed the process
Of becoming citizen.
When MIR. Boyd demanded the Office Gov.
Thayer refused to give it up on the ground
that no eligible successor had qualified. The
controversy lasted several weeks and seemed
likely to end in b!oodshed. As Mr.. Boyd
had become generally recognized as Govern
or, however, and as lower court had de-
cided in his favor, an arrangement was
made by which the question was submitted
to the Supreme Court, Mr.. Boyd meanwhile
to hold the Office. The decision has just been
rendered against Mr.. Boyd.

SEVEN ACRES BURNED.
A Destructive Lumber Fire In Long
Island City, N. Y.

Fire broke out in the yard Of the Export
Lumber Company, on Newtown Creek aud
the East River, Long Island City, N. Y, at
II o'clock on a recsnt night. There vera
three acres of lumber stored there, and ths
flames spread rapidly. The entire depart
ment Of Long Island City was called out
". R. Grace & Co. ure the owners.
The FIRE started in Roneaster's iron foun-
dry, the cause being. as is supposed, spark
from q casting which had been made just be-
fore the shop closed. The fire smouldered
until 1890 and then broke out fiercely. The
foundry was totally destroyed The Clark &
Simpson feed mills also took fire and
were burned to the ground. The flames then
spread to H. s. Writings retail lumber
ward, which was entirely consumed. The
fire next attacked H. s. Burroughs whole.

Joining the Export Yard, and it was de-
stroved. The Timis-Simons Lumber Com
pany's mill followed and was soon total
loss.
The barkentine Teneriffe Captain Gayle,
was lying at Burroughs Pier, and narrowly
escaped destruction by baing towel into the
stream.
All the Standard Oil Company's fire tugs
and the entire Long Island City Fire De-
partment, under Chief Casey, were on the
scene, and doing good work.
A heavy wind prevailed which added ma
terially to the fury and progress of the
flames. The fire covered the entire lumber
district of six or seven acres or thirteen city
blocks, which was almost entirely covered by
lumber piles. The loss it was thought might
reach 100000

THE ITATA SEIZED.
A Chilian Steamer Held by United
States MarshalS.

A Chilian Steamer Held by United
States Marshals.
A dispatch from San Diego, CAL, says
The Chilian steamer Itata, which arrived
this port the other day for the ostensibl
purpose Of getting supplies and coal, ha
been seized by United States Marshal Gard
and is now lying here with Deputy Mar
shall aboard, awaiting, instructions from
Washington. Captain Mauzun, Of the Itata
released and returned to his vessel.
The seizure was made as the result OF
number of kilograms which passed between
the United States officials hers and the au.
thorities in Washington: and was due to tn,
supposition that her mission here was to gel
arms and ammunition from the schooner
Robert and Minnie for the Gillian insur
gents.
Besides the Itata and the Robert and Min
ME, steamer which was at first supposed te
be a Chilian war ship was sighted off THU
port, near the Coronado Islands. An effort
was made to board her but it proved unsuc
cessful, she apparently seeking to avoid The
officials.
At midnight Just before the arrest the
Itata received forty head Of cattle, twenty.
five head of sheep and 5000 pounds OF dressed
meat from the ferry boat Coronado. The
vessel has also received other stores, includ.
ing 800 tons Of coal. As soon as all the pro
visions and fuel were Oh board she expected
to leave the harho. and cruise between here
and Catalina to meet the Robert and Minnie,
from which she was to take the rifles and
ammunition.
The Itata is a Chlian merchant vessel,
built in Liverpool in 1878, and belonged to
the South American Steamship Company, Of
feet and draught of water 10 ITO feet.
The schooner Robert and Minnie appeared
to be heavily laden, and it was reported that
her cargo consisted of arms and ammunition
for the Chilian insurgents. The Robsrt and
Minnie is an American vessel, ownsd in San
Francisco.
