O'Clock this morning fire was discov-
zered in the drugstore of A. H; Dayega,
Sthe drugstore being connected with the
Central Hotel. The latter was soon in

WASHINGTON, June 8.-The presence
sof Father Ducy in Washington yester-
aday and the long conference which he
had with Mr.. Blaine, and other cir
scumsances too intricate for detail, has
8led to the report that Mr.. Blaine has
purchased from Mrs. Mary Nevins
Blaine the correspondence which he
Ehas long tried to secure touching her
marriage and divorce, and that Father
Dacey came to deliver the correspon-
dence. The amount paid is said to be
$65, 900. 1t will be remembered that
Mrs. Vevins Blaine once paralyzed the
SBlaine household by threatening to
ahave this correspondence published.
THE report is pretty well verified.

FATAL FIGHT AT A FEAST.

&9EmING, New Mexico, June News
has reached here of a terrible tragedy
(which occurred at Las Palmas, a town
ION the border thirty miles south, last
saturday. From what can be learned
AN official of the Mexican Custom House
was entertaining an officer of the regi-
Ement which has been standing there
Since the Ascension revolt, at his pri-
waite residence. The daughter of the
tOficial acted as hostess. In the midst
5Of the meal the house was entered
gby several guards, led by two young
suitors Of the daughter, and an attack
was made upon the officer.
Friends of both parties Joined in the
fight, and before the regiment could be
8called to separate the combatants the
father and the officer had been killed
and several members of both factions
dangerously injured. The battle lasted
sseveral hours and was characterized by
desperate fighting. Pistols and sabres
were the weapons employed.
Word was sent to Deming for
physicians. Jealousy is supposed to
have been the cause of the attack. For
some weeks there has been considerable
bad feeling between the officers and
ssoldiers of the regiment and frequent
fights have occurred. Only afew weeks
ago a soldier was shot dead by an officer
for some trivial act of disobedience. 1t
is impossible yet to obtain the names
of dead and wounded. The town is IN
Mexican territory. The dead were hor-
ribly mutilated.
The peoples champion. What Isl
why, THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, and
it's only 40 cents through the campaign.

NIHILISM IN POLAND.

WARSAW, June The police aUthori-
ties have for sometime been making
visits to the homes of persons in Poland
suspected of being Nihilists, in search
,of explosives or discriminating docu-
.ments.
Many persons have been arrested in
the different provinces of Poland, the
total number of those taken into Gus
stody being about 1000. Most of these
fare men under thirty years of age. One
hundred of the persons arrested have
sbeen exiled to Siberia.
Tt ADOPTION of these energetic meas
suressM the part of the authorities is
believed to be due to the approaching
visit of the Car of Warsaw.

DISTURBANCES on THIS CONTI-
NENT.

News from the Latin Americas sim

ago Brazil seemed on the verge Of o
civil war. In fact the political dis.
thrbances there are not yet wholly
settled. Now tho report comes
that yellow fever and small
pox arc scourglDg that IL
fatod country. II Is easy 10 imagine
the horrors Of such dreadful diseases
where sanitary science is almost a
Dullity, rs 1t really Is In Brazil. The
cities are In fearful condition Of Nth.
There Is absolutely no provision made
for outbreaks Of diseases Of any kind.
Thercports Of deaths are already AS
tonishlng. tits said that whole crews
OF a number Of vessels hsve been takcn
oGby sickness.
Chile il still causing more or less
sensational news 10 be circulated.
Tho turmoil there Ia far from ended.
The situation In Mexico Ia assuming
a serious aspect. What seemed n few
days ago to be- merely "a littlo filsbus,Ur-
Ing adventure now turns out to be n
formidable revolution. The trouble
originated about ten days ago, when
several priests were arrested Chohula,
one Of the States adjoining the Rio
Grande river. Though the arrests
were quietly made, yot the populaco
were soon aroused, snd an attempt at
rescue was made.
A law prevails In Mexico against the
organization Of certain religious or.
dcrs. It appears that the priests and
students In those regions organized
themselves into ono " the prohibited
societies. The government on being In.
formed Of this determined TO enforce the
Old law. Several Objectionable re-
lgioua bodies were suppressed nj the
time OF the Macmillan episode Ia that
country. No attempt has boon made
TO re.establish them until recently.
The civil war in that country In
1858, and the subsequent establish
ment of IMPERIALISM, were tho result Of
n struggle between Church and state.
The Roman church controlled the
wealth and politics OF Mexico previous
TO this. lts wealth outside Of sacred
edillces and religious Institutions was
estimated nj s9j,OOO,OO0. II owned
property in nearly every town and
city throughout the nation, which
was rented 10 tenants for
all kinds Of trade and business.
This property was all conflscatod,
but that devoted directly to religion
was not intcriered with. The State,
however, assumed control OF II, and
made tho priests tenants Mt will. a
number OF religious orders were ban
ished from Mexico. Among these was
that about TO be established few days
ago ut Puebla and Cholula.

MONEY IN LEGISLATION.

SENATOR CHANDLER, OF New
Hampshire, il creating quite an ex-
element In the Eastern States by his
attacks on SONS OF the New England
corporations. He has filed letter
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission In which are embraced charges
ola serious character against the d.
roctors OF the Boston and Maine Rail-
road, aud also against the Portsmouth
brewers. He says that II these officials
had their just deserts they would be
now reclining behind the bars In
Rockingham County Iail, rather than
riding about In drawingroom coaches.
He accuses the Boston and Maine
Railroad officials Of selling to an Eng
lish syndicate brewerIes costing less
than sl,OO0,00O, and taxed for
less than $4,000, at the price
OF s9,3OO,OOO. Furthermore, he
makes direct charge against these
persons that they carried In the Legls-
lalures OF Maine, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,, by corrupt means, bills
for issuing NJ par $1,000, 900 OF new
stock. or this tho Springfield Rspu6-
dean says:
"Wo know nothing about any corrupt
means, but we called attention last winter

Is that they wrecked the Maverick

THE "MoRnoS" CASES IN IDAHO.


THRouoH press dispatch from
Boise City, Idaho, we learn that the
big batch Of indictments found some
time ago against "Mormons" for al.
legged Illegal voting In 1855 was, on
Saturday, dismissed on motion Of the
United States District Attorney.
The abandonment Of this vcxatous
prosecution IL significant Of better
feeling In the new State than has here
tofore existed, toward a portion lof its
people on account Of their religious
convictions and their political ailllls-
lions. II also hrs n bearing on the APP
pllcstion Of the notorious test oath. In
view Of the changed attitude Of the
Church In reference TO the polygamy
question, the force Of that obnoxious
provision OF the Idaho constitution "a
really taken away. IL has no virtual
application and win very soon become
obsolete, n II Ia allowed to remain rs n
blot upon tho organic law OF the State.
We are glad that this cloud that
hung over number Of our friends In
Idaho Ia now dissipated. II Ia not nj
all likely that any fair Jury would have
convicted one Of the persons indicted.
The case tried some months ago was,
in effect, test Of the question. II
failed, and II became evident, In the
course OF the trial, that the prosecution
had no solid ground to stand upon.
Still,t formal dismissal OF the indict-
ments Is gratifying and makes final
settlement OF the trouble.
II the Indicted Enormous" had
voted tho ticket desired by their op.
ponents, we should In all probability
have heard nothing Of any legal pro-
ceedings In the matter. One icsson,
we suppose, has been learned from thls
unpleasant affair, and that Is that cow
arJicc and trucking will be found
profitable by any political party. The
course pursued by many Of the idaho
Democracy toward their "Mormon"
supporters has utterly disgusted those
who have suffered from II, and thu con-
sequence Ia that the party has lost
many votes and the respect Of many
sjlid citizens whose influence will yet
be- felt powerfully In the State.
We do not condemn the great Demo.
cratic party for tho poltrooncry and
turbulence OF some OF It's membcrs, but
we are sure that Its lnhue nee In Idaho
has been to large extent destroyed,
because OF their failure TO stand by
their principles aud their promises.
We believe that the way ~ being
cleared for tho "Mormon" citizens Of
Idaho to that position to which they
are entitled under tho institutions Of
our country, and that, before many
years have passed, they viii be In the
free exercise Of all the rights and
privileges that pertain TO American
citizenship and that arc essential TO
full political and civil liberty.

stage, In which there were seven
passengers - four men and three
women. They took from Ed. H..

Ia cash besides. The robbers encount.
