The Honduras Government Apologies IOr
Firing on the Stars and Stripes.
WASHINGTON, D. c., No. 12.-secre.
tary Gresham gave out the following
tonight:
"When authentic information was re-
ceived at the department of the firing
upon the American mail steamer Costa
Rica at Amapala on the 9Th inst, be-
cause OF the refusal of the cap
tain to deliver up Bonilla, a
passenger, General Young, the
United States minister to Honduras,
under instructions sent by Secretary
Gresham by direction of the President,
protested against the act and demand
ed an apology. The government Of
Honduras promptly disavowed the con-
duct OF its officers and expressed sincere
regret for the occurrence"
The apology on the part of the Hon
duras government is entirely salts
factory to tho United States and it is
believed that this will end the incident.

The most disastrous FIRE seen in
Wheeling for number of years broke
out yesterday morning between three
and four o'clock, in the sheet depart
ment OF the Whitaker iron works, on
the south bank OF Wheeling creek. just
opposite the city electric light plant.
Before the flames we're discovered they
had gained such headway that it was
impossible to check them before the
main mill was entirely destroyed, so
far as fire could destroy it. Only the
furnace stacks remain, rising like monu-
ments from a confused mass Of ashes
and ruins.
1t is hard to give an account Of the
FIRE. It's origin can only be coniectured,
and at this time 1t is impossible to
place reliable and definite estimate on
the loss. The exact extent OF the dam"
age depends on what salvage, il any,
can be made on the engine, shafting
and machinery, and it is too earl y to
even CUES. at this.
Several unfortunate circumstances
contributed to make the fire mor9
sweeping in its results than it otherwise
need have been. Tho flames started
Just against the fire alarm box, and
Michael Mckinney, one Of the night
watchmen, in turning in the alarm was
severely burned about the hands and
arms, and his face aud breast scorched.
The alarm lever was either not pulled
down thoroughly or for some other rea-
son the gongs in the houses did not
sound right, and little delay was
caused in the arrival OF the department.
The Atlantic and Niagara engines ar
rived first and got connection at
Twentieth street, while the other en-
gines ran their lines across the bridge,
drawing their water from the north side
of the creek.

the delegation might rest assured that
its recommendation would be duly
considered. There were no other refer

we're having d Jolly time. Governor
Mckinley inquired kindly for many old
West Virginia friends.
AN IMPRoMPTU BANQUET.
Leaving the capitol the tourists went
over to the Neal House. A long table
was arranged for them at supper time,
and they went right ahead in banquet
style, telling stories and making
speeches, Just as though they had hired
a hall. The other guests took it all good
naturedly and seemed to enjoy the pro-
ceedings.
On Mr.. Peterson's motion the chair
man was thanked for the satisfactory
presentation of the sentiments of the
delegation.
Leaving Columbus at 11:15 the
run home was made comfortably
and on time. The whole journey was a
continuous vote of thanks to Mr..
Adams for his happy thought and the
successful way ii had worked out.
There was not man in the party who
would have missed it. Every one
brought home the most favorable i'm
preston OF the governor OF Ohio, and it
was the unanimous verdict that the
next Republican national convention
need seek no further.

her enterprising citizens are going to

make out that it is the worst place

soon be city the state can be proud
of. We have no doubt but what
blind pigs exist and that Fargo is
blessed with some of them. The
same can be said Of nearly every
town in the state, but it is no use
making modern Sodom out of the
place for trihe like this. Let the
Fargo papers show up her advan-
tages and induce people to come in

ing gaunt skeletons of corruption,
etc. 1t is the proper thing to give
publicity to crime but mud singing
and personal abuse only adds to the
making OF bad reputation for the

Hannaford, N. d., Sept. 26th, 1898.
Edward Guest and Miss Cora Fiero,
Rev. o. D. Purinton, officiating.
The guests, numbering about
thirty, who had been invited to par
ticipate in this happy event, which
was one of the most beautiful home
weddings it has been our lot to wit
ness, were assembled little before
eight o'clock in the evening, in the
parlors of Mr.. Fiero's pleasant home.
The house was prettily decorated
with flowers and growing plants.
Roses smiled at us from maatels and
tables. The air was fragrant with
their perfume, making us forget we
were still in ''frozen Dakota" The
guests had not long to wait. The
bridal party, Miss Belle Merryman
acting as bridesmaid, and A. M.
Sinclair as best man, entering the
room, taking their places before Mr..
Purinton, were in most solemn and
impressive manner pronounced man
and wife after beautiful marriage
form. The bride is sister of our
we'll known and much respected fel-
low townsman, ]. w. Fiero, and a
young lady of fine character and ac-
compiishments and has served in our
public schools, for number of years,
as an efficient and popular teacher.
She was dressed in cream cashmere,
with lace and ribbon garniture, her
only ornaments, as we'll as those Of
her bridesmaid, being natural roses.
Mr.. Guest is one of our rising young
men, for several years citizen OF
Dakota, and is highly esteemed by a
large circle of warm friends. After
the ceremony was concluded and
hearty congratulations had been of,
iered, the party proceeded to the
dining room, where delicious re-
past awaited them, Tables fairly
groaned meath their burden Of re
tresaments, and the happy guests, at
ter doing justice te the daintie
spread before them, once more re
paired to the parlors, thoroughly en-
joying the pleasant hospitalities 81
beautifully offered by Mr.. and Mrs

by the happy couple, who expect t
}, leave the following week for an ex
tended tour of "The Great Fair,
followed by the best wishes of thei
many friends. ***

A BIG LOSS,

The Cooper elevator was totally
destroyed by fire Monday afternoon,
containing 5000 bushels of wheat.
About 2:15 p. M, smoke was noticed
coming out of the roof of the elevator
and it was discovered that the building
was on fire. There was no possible
chance of extinguishing the fire, for in
less than five minutes from the time it
was discovered, flames burst out all
over the building. A stiff: wind was
blowing from the northwest which is the
only thing that saved all the elevators
and lumber yards from q like fate.
Had the wind been in the south, Coop.
erstown would now be minus four ele-
vatcrs, tive lumber yards, depot, and
numerous warehouses, and possibly
part of the business portion of the town.
1t took strenuous efforts on the part of
the citizens to save the residence occu-
pied by Brakeman Ridgeley. The house
stands southeast from the elevator
about $50 feet, and the high wind car
ried pieces of burning timber onto the
roof of the building, which caught fire
several times. The citizens worked
like beavers and soon had every partl-
Gle of furniture removed. However,
the house was saved and very little
damage done to the furniture. The
cause of the fire Is unknown, Lut Mr..
Cooper's oily idea is that it was caused
by friction from the machinery. As
we before stated the building contained
$500 bushels of grain belonging to Mr.
Cooper. There was not one dollars
worth of insurance on either the deva-
tor or the wheat and the loss to Mr..
Cooper, about $40, 900, comes hard, cs-
pecially in q season of such financial
depression.

-
The fourth annual convention of the
w. G. L. U. of North Dakota held in
Larimore adjourned Monday p m,
Sept. 25lh From opening to finish its
sessions were replete will interest and
alive with earnest work. Somewhat
less than one hundred delegates attend
ed who for four days thoroughly tested
the hosoitality of Larimore's large
hearted citizens. 1t is safe to say that
no place of its size could have more ad-
mirably entertained such Il convent .
than was this one.
A charming welcome was given the
convention on Friday evening by a
crowded house, and three happy ad-
dresses Of welcome. Prof. Hoover,
principal of the school, delivered the
one in behalf of the city, Rev. l.. +.
Danks III behalf of the clergy, and Mrs.
Naylor the one for the w. c. Il. U.
The ladies of LariMore Union proved
themselves quite equal to their under
taking and were untiring in their efforts
in behalf Of their guests, They had ar
tistically decorated, with flowers, plants
and banners the handsome stage of the
opera house, the use of which was
granted by the people of Larimore,
whose homes were also Hospitality
opened to the visitors and who proved
themselves delightful entertainers. The
sessions were all we'll attended. Crowd.
ed houses greeted Miss Preston, Miss
Bates and Mrs. n. H. Knox, of Wahpe-
ton, each of whom delivered one dtfe1
ent occasions. of a very high order
thoroughly appreciated by the large
and intelligent audiences. Beyond
doubt the influence of this convention
will live long in the hearts of those who
have felt its powerful touch. A touch
which thrills with love for humanity
and loyalty to God. After four years
of most faithful service, Miss Kinneai
felt it necessary to resign the presidency
on account OF depleted health. Miss
Kinnear's many friends deeply regret
this necessity and trust that d season
of rest may restore her to health and
activity in this work to which she is SO
thoroughly devoted and adopted. Miss
Elizabeth Preston, who succeeds her
in the Office, is warmly welcomed as
our new leader. She has been lntim-
ately connected with the work Of the
state from its beginning, which gives
her valued qualifications for the posi-.
ton. 1t is impossible to even outline
the work done in the space allotted
here, but its results will undoubtedly
be shown IN the new ideas and improved
work OF the lesal unions who were repre-
sentsd. Cooperstown union was COM
mended in sending delegates by means
of fifty mile drive across the country
The regret of the "delegation" is that
the entire membership of tho W's and
Us could not enjoy the convention per-
sonally.
The union will meet with the presi
dent on Tuesday, Oct. 2. at 4 p. m.
sharp. A full attendance is requested.
