esS de StuerS' divorce suit was called
upthis morning in the regular term of
the circuit court of this county, and both
sides announced their readiness to pro-
coed to trial sometime during the term.
BY mutual agreement it was decided
the trial should come off during the week
beginning on Dec. 10. A joint applica-
ton was made and granted by the Judge
for an order permitting the United
States consul general at Paris
to take dispositions for either
side in the suit. The bar
onesS' attorney wired her New York
legal representative of the order, and
messenger will be at once dispatched to
Paris to get the dispositions of promi-
nent citizens OF the French republic,
who have expressed a Willingness to
testify that Baron de Stuers, minister
i'll Paris tor the Netherlands, is rOue
and gambler, and witnessed his cruel
and miserable treatment of the baron
GSs. The baron, however, his attorneys
claim, is tickled to death over the order,
as he will get the dispositions of the
three physicians who, i'll the summer of
1890, previous to the baroness flight
from her palace in Paris, examined her
as to her mental condition, and declared
her bordering on nervous insanity.

burned, and. of course, the money with
it. A day or two after l.. G.. OchSen-

as the owner had deposited the
charred remains Of his cash in an

his loss. Learning what the pan con-
tanned, Mr.. Ochsenreiter told the owner
to cover it up so none of the pieces
would be lost, that he thought he could
do something with them. He got some
cotton batting and placed the burned
fragments between two layers, brought
the package to Webster and gave it to

The water tower became covered with

The fire was discovered at II O'Clock
by Officer DE LosSO. He sent i'll the
alarm. He first saw flames breaking
out of the windows in the fourth story
on the Third street side, midway in the
building. After he pulled the box. the
officer states that he heard series OF
explosions. The flame at once burst
over the fourth story and licked its way
into the top story.
Every piece of fire apparatus the city
possesses was called into action, that is
outside of the apparatus at Hamline
and Merriam Park. This is the first

wholesale grOcerS, corner of East Third
md WacOuta streets. When the de-
partment arrived the fourth and fifth
stories were in mass CT flames. The
whole building was apparently doomed.
1t seemed incredible that the building
adjoining Farwell. Ozmun, Kirk q Co.,
hardware merchants, could be saved,
and there was no telling what building
might follow. No men could have
worked harder than the members of the
fire department. They did not give up
what seemed the almost futile attempt
of saving the Griggs-COoper building,
and towards that end directed their
efforts to prevent the flames spreading.
The large water tower was brought into
service, and from its huge nozzle
"A continuous avalanche of water
was poured into the furnace
like fire raging within the
building. a score of smaller streams,
handled by the fremen mounted on
ladders raised in tie center of the street,
were also thrown upon the burning
mass. This continued for an hour, with
no apparent effect. The fire ragged and
roared. ever and anon the flames being

as if the whole city was in
flames. To those whose curiosity
had led them to the scene the aspect
was an awful one, but not so bad as that
which distance gave it the appearance.
The seat of the fire all this time was in
the two upper stories. To venture on a
speculation. the fire originated on the
fourth story, then spread to the second
story. both of which were simply siZ-

due to most hard and Infamous treat
ment received at the hands of the keep
ers of Milbank prison, London, where
Nally was detained previous to being
transferred to Mount Joy prison.
The friends of Naily are not the only
people to make the charges; and they
are not the usual charges made by Irish
Nationalist against the keepers of the
English prisons in which they have been
unfortunate enough to sojOurn for pc
RODS Of months or years. The charges
made are the result of a carefully in

Oner's jury, who, after hearing a great
deal of testimony, after examining the
keepers of the two prisons ane eliciting
from them some most startling admiS-
siOns, yesterday rendered a well-consid-
erei verdict to the effect that p. w.
Nally, instead of dying from typhoid
fever as announced by the prison Off
cials, died from the effects of the harsh
and most cruel treatment the unfort-
innate Irishman had been compelled to
endure in Millbank prison. This treat
ment, according to the verdict of the
cOroner'S jury, so shattered Nally's
health that he was practically in dy-
ing condition when transferred to Mount
JOS prison.
GladstCne's attention has also been
called to the matter, and it is expected
that he will not let such a chance of
pummeling the Tories escape him easily.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. IA de-
cision of Judge Phelps in the superior
court at Clinton yesterday is of
the utmost Importance in its bear
ings on the Connecticut gov
ernorShip contest now in the courts.
A Democrat contested the election last
October of Republican on the ground
that Republican ballots were left blank
as to a certain candidate, or had been
pasted or written over the ballots.
Judge Phelps found that.owing TO flaws
in the ballots of both parties, not a
single legal ballot had been cast
in Clinton at the last cleo
ton. By agreement of both
sides all the law points involved were
reserved for the supreme court Of the
state at its January session. These will
thus reach the supreme court not long
after its decision in the quo warrantO
case. The highly important ques-
ton is about the prohibition of
blank ballots cast at the state
election of 1890, to the number
of :. 900. which would Immediately let in
all the Democratic candidates for state
offices. Judge Hall, Republican, in the
East Lynn contested election case, de-
cidee these ballots illegal. but that the
| case under the law could not be APP
pealed, as has now been done in the
Clinton case.

HURON, S. D., Nov. 1.-THE state
railroad commission is in session here
tonight devising means fer the early re-
lief of the existing grain blockade. The
farmers are rushing grain into the mar
kPt and there is no place to store it.
Many are compelled 10 haul it back
home. At many stations, warehouses,
elevators and every available building
is filed with grain and dealers have
ceased buying for want of storage facii-
ties. The railroads are doing every
thing in their power for their relief, but
it is utterly impossible to supply the
demand for cars. The daily demand
exceeds the supply 1900 to 1880. Not
over half the crop is yet threshed. and
hundreds OF thousands of bushels are
piled in heaps in open fields awaiting
shipping facilities. At many points lum-
Der for building temporary shelter cam
not be had, and the commission seems
to be powerless. The condition is be-
coming alarming, as much grain will
