Is The Law Legal.

On the application of Halvor
Stevenson, of Crookston, the North
Dakota supreme court issued a writ
of habeas corpus, directed to the
sheriff of Cass county, ordering him
to produce the body Of William
Lorabbe, now imprisoned in the Cass
county Jail for violation of the
prohibition law Of North Dakota.
STEVENSON attacks the law, claim
ing that the same was passed by a
legislature unconstitutionally con-
vened, so far as %enacting legislation
was concerned, being the legislature
of 1889, called upon the admission OF
North Dakota into the Union, and
that the only business that could be
then enacted was the election OF
senators of the United States. A
further point, and the one mainly
relied upon, is that the prohibition
amendment was not legally adopted
by the people at the election for the
ratification of the work of the con
stitutional convention, in that this
particular section, which was sub
mitted as a separate clause, did not
receive a majority of all the votes
cast for the main body Of the con.
stitution, having only received a
majority of the votes cast on the
particular proposition.
1t is said that ex-senator Evarts is
the main counsel in the case and has
prepared the arguments on the con
Istitutional features of the matter.

rusur.uce In south Dakota.

Sioux Falls Press: State Auditor Hip
pie has issued his preliminary report,
showing the insurance business done
in South Dakota in 1892, and the
figures indicate that however profit
able this state may have been to
underwriters heretofore, 1t was ever
so much more go last year. The
foreign fire companies had to return
to insurers in the way Of payment
for losses less than 81 per cent Of The
premiums paid, while in 1891 the
ratio was A and in 1880 it was 48.
But the foreign life companies found
even a better field than the fire COM
panies, for returns in the way of
losses amounted only a little over IL
pe-centofthe receipts from premiums
as against SO per cent in 1891 and 25
per cent in 1890. Last year there was
an increase of 80 per cent over 1891 in
the fire risks written, and a decrease
of about 20 per cent in the losses
incurred. These facts tell a very
wholesome story. They show develop
ment of the state in property In
teresis, and a decrease in that care
~lessness or chicanery which tends to
swell SO much the fire losses of a
state. In 1890 the fire risks written
amounted to s16,2s1,O 900, and the
losses incurred reached $ls5, 50O-or
about II per cent of the new risks;
while in 1892 the risks written reached
s24, OOO, 600, and the losses incurred
only $123,OOO-or only about ! per
cent of the new risks. In 1890, the
average rate for fire insurance was
s2.074 per 500 of risk, while in 1892 ii
was 81. 9l4-and still in 1880 the COM
panies paid back to the insurers
nearly one-half their receipts, while
in 1892 they paid back considerably
less than one-third.

The Rapid City Republican learns
from a reliable source that there is a
prospect Of an early change in the
situation at Hill City. President IN
termeyer, the representative Of the
American interests, is now in London
comforting with the English share
holders, and as Lord Thhrlow and
other influential members of the Brit
fish directory stand with the Amer
lean interests, there is q strong prob.
ability that the differences which led
to the suspension Of operations will
be settled at an early date.
The sole and only cause of the shut
down was, as before stated, the fail
ure Of the Englishmen to pay up their
stock assessments. Lord Thurlow
and another large stakeholder were
the only foreign members who have
paid their share of the recent heavy
expense of building and putting the
mill in operation; the Americans, tir-
ing of the whole burden, determined
to stop work until their English cous-
ins came to the front. Thus the pig
medicines OF the bloomin' bOnd'old-
ers caused q suspension Of work just
at thetime when commercial tin from
the Black Hills was about to be placed
upon the American. market. Sew.
enty-flve tons OF black oxides now In
the bins Of the Harvey Peak mill, the
product Of the test run, proves the
truth Of this statement.

On the Ohio River, Caused by the Break
Ing Away of an Immense Ice Gorge.
CINCINNATI, Jan. a. IL requires a
stretch Of the imagination to picture
5000, 900 tons Of ice moving at Eve miles
an hour down the Ohio river. The ice
In forming gorge in the river may be
six feet thick and more or less solid. It's
nip on the banks Of the river, assisted
by curving banks, holds It stationary.
The current Of rising stream, es-
pecially at the present stage ofthe river
(twenty feet and rising), is a constant
force tending to tear the gorge loose.
Floating ice affords another power to
tear the gorge from the banks
All steamers on the river at the port
OF Cincinnati have been keeping up
steam. Coal fleets have been covered
with men night and day. two o'clock
yesterday afternoon this mighty glacier
OF 5000, 900 tons began TO move with a
horrible groan, to which the hills
echoed with terrific screaming Of
score Of steam whistles. Nineteen
steamers and hundred coal barges,
empty or loaded, had but two or three
inches Of oak plank to present resis-
tance to this ponderous aggregation Of
power. Again and again the ponderous
chains that held the steamers and tho
wharf boats to their moorings were
parted and as often skilful hands re-
paired them.
By o o'clock last night all apparent
danger TO the steamers Mt the landing
was over. The gorge had passed and
the river was comparatively clear. One
tow boat, the Mattheson, owned by
Marmet & Co, valued at 5000, was
sunk and destroyed. Down below the
destruction Of coal barges and other
property has been terrible The gorge
that moved past Cincinnati extended |
from Coney Island above the mouth of |
the Little Miami, to below Anderson's |
Ferry, distance OF nearly eighteen |
miles For ten miles below this the |
water was clear and opon. Then came |
another gorge, beginning at the mouth |
Of the great Miami, extending below |
Lawrenceburg.
This lower gorge with its doomed coal
fleets crashed into II and tore IL out and |
now both are grinding their way down
the Ohio river with q terrific roaring at
the rate Of ive or six miles an hour. It
was impossible TO get details last night.
Here is the nearest approximation of
destruction Of coal fleets: Forty-ave
loaded barges and sixty empty barQeS

were carried away last Friday. Not one

PlTTsBUReH, Jan. 9-Three persons
were killed and four badly injured in a
natural gas explosion on Sarah street,
South Side, about o'clock Saturday
morning, The dead are:

Tho injured are; DuMy's O-year-old boy, badly

Mrs William Harrison and child, the latter
probably fatally burned and bruised
The house destroyed was q two-story
brick. 1t was occupied by the Duffy
and Harrison families, the first named
occupying the second story. The Duffy
family were asleep when the explosion
occurred The Harrison family were
awake At o'clock Mrs Harrison
started to the cellar for coal and struck
match and the explosion followed.
The force of the explosion was so great
that the house as well as everything in
it was demolished.
The whole neighborhood was shaken
by the terrific explosion. The few per.
sons on the streets saw the house tot
ter for moment, then the roof fell in,
followed by the right wall. The upper
floor was crushed in and fell, carrying
it to th2 first which held, and this alone
saved liarrison's life. Meanwhile the
harvest of death had been awful, for
the Duffy family was wiped out OF cx.
istence save the young son and he may
die, The second floor, the brick wall
and roof simply crushed the ceiling as
though it was paper, and sleeping calm
ly in their beds Thomas Duffy, his wife
and the babe in the cradle by her side
were awakened only to be crushed and
buried in the ruins.
Mrs. Harrison and her child were
found easily and taken out They were
cut and badly frightened. William Har-
rison was taken out easily, but It took
twenty-five minutes to dig TO where the
Duffys were imprisoned. They were
alive when reached but died as they
were being taken out

| The Natives Buoy tho Monster Up and
Then Take His Life.
Capt. e. j. Clifford, of the whaling
bark Triton, which arrived in San Fran
cisco few days ago, told Chronicle
man the particulars Of an interesting
whale hunt of which he was witness.
The natives Of that region are people Of
low intelligence, their chief employ
ment being the capture of inhabitants
of the waters that wash the Siberian
coast. These people have become ex-
perts in the vocation that furnishes
them with the necessaries of life. The
story as told by Capt. Clifford is as fol-
lows:
"We had been lying at anchor for
several days in small and almost land
locked bay, and had done some little
trading with the inhabitants Of vii
lage about half a mile inland. One
morning all hands were awakened by
great hubbub on shore, the cause of
which was the presence Of school OF
sperm whales three or four miles out
side the harbor. In short time ten
canoes, each containing from six to
eight natives, put off and made straight
toward where an occasional jetoof wa
ter marked the spot where the big fell
lows were sporting / was a good
deal puzzled to know how those fell
lows were going to capture one of those
huge animals, which is by no means an
10 ha hoe A,.nsxoI
crew, supplied with all the modern ap-
pliances. The boats kept close togeth-
er and approached the school with
great caution. When within about
three hundred yards of the nearest
whale the canoes separa ted, and as the
big fellow came up to blow they rap
idly closed in from three sides at once.
The whale by this time was lazily roll
ing in the trough Of the sea, apparent
ly unaware of the approach of his ene-
mics. So well timed was the approach
of the canoes that they were1all within
easy reach of the whale when the lead
er gave the signal to throw the har-
poons. In n moment at least thirty
harpoons were sticking from the shin
ing back of the whale, and the canoes
shot back out of reach of the big flukes
in less time than II takes to tell it.
And here comes the strange part of the
performance. Attached to each har-
poon were about two hundred feet of
line, and on the end of each line were
reindeer skins inflated with air In
one or two instances casks were at
tached to the lines. You can imagine
the situation. Here was the whale
with enough buoys attached to him to
float ship, and when he attempted to
sound he would be brought TO the sur
face again only TO receive shower of
hand lances from the canoes. The sport
did not last long, and four hours from
the time the canoes left the beach
they towed the whale in and men and
women were at work cutting him up"
