Ihad been located. Occurring at an hour
when there was large number Of peo-
pie on the street, the fire attracted such
! crowd as has not been seen around tn
mills for some time. When the first
alarm was heard and itwas seen that the

for the mills, the crowds at once began
to push their way to that direction, but
when the second alarm came pedestrians,
people driving and bicycle cranks fairly
tumbled over themselves in their eager

Elk Alderman Charles G. Hashow was
drowned at White Bear last Sunday at
ternoon. In company with J. w. Tamm
and John DAWN he left Minneapolis on
the 1:45 train. On reaching the lake
they engaged Dean Layman as boatman,
and went fishing. The lake was rough,
and when their boat was opposite the
Dellwood shore, Hashow tried to change
his position. He was thrown hesdlong
into the water, capsizing the boat and
submerging his companions. Young
Layman was an expert swimmer and
struck out for the shore. Hashow and
Tamm followed, while DAWN remained
clinging to the boat. Tamm feared he
could not make the distance and re.
turned to the boat where he remained
clinging with Dawn, until rescued when
about to let go from exhaustion. Lay
man on reaching shore looked back for
his companions and saw but two. Hash

secured boat and brought Tamm and
DAWN to shore. The trio rowed to Lay
mans landing and secured change of
clothing. They returned to the Dellwood
shore few minutes later. The body OF

two men trolling along shore. Their
hooks caught what they believed to be
heavy fish and both we're Mortified on

His body was placed on a steamer which
was dispatched that night TO New Orleans
with large number of wounded belong

boiler exploded and few on board escaped.
The corpse of General Williams was found
the next day floating on a plank in the
Mississippi River and was conveyed to
New Orleans, where General Butler or
dered 1t to be buried with military honors.
The rector of prominent church on
Canal street gave his consent to have the
funeral services performed there, but the
feminine portion of his congregation de-
termlned not to permit the obseQuies to
take place in that edifice. When the mill
tary escort accompanying the body arrived
at the church the latter was found to be
crowded to the steps OF the portico by an
cACItcu Dulutuucs composed principally
OF females. Captain KeDse of General
Buffers staff requested politely that space
might be made for the funeral party to
enter. but was refused. He was informed
that all those present were regular wor-
shippers in that church. and as they rented
the pews they had perfect right to re-
main there, and remain they should.
The situation was perpleXing. inyoly-
ing points that Captain Kensel had never
been called upon TO solve before, and for
the solution of which neither the army
regulations nor the articles of war fur
nished any clew. He was accordingly
forced 20 return to General Buffers head
quarters aud report the obstacle that had
prevented his carrying out his orders for
the funeral. General Butler peremptorily
ordered him TO have the escort charge
with fixed bayonets upon the occupants of
the church and force an entry. Returning
TO the church, Captain Kensel informed
the inmates OF the instructions he had Just
received, and, while he expressed his ex-
treme reluctance TO resort to such harsh
measures. he declared that he had no
alternative, but must obey his orders.
Drawing out his watch, he named an in

emptied II the catastrophe were to be
averted. The result was hastv retreat

LIEU=LAND CASES.
Have Been Dropped i'm the
Circuit Court.
The Railroad Company Threatens,
However, to Institute Them
Anew in State Courts.

Settlers who have taken up railroad
land in Monterey and Fresno counties are
excited over the action of the Southern
Pacific attorneys. The company brought
many suits against settlers to settle title
to the land. and one group of cases was
begun in Circuit Judge McKenna's court.
The cases were to have come up soon, but
the attorney for the defendants received a
notice recently from Special Attorney
Redding of the railroad stating that all
the cases had been dropped by the CON-
pany, as it had been impossible to prove
the jursdictional value of $1,000 in any of
them.
This was the point previously made by
Attorney Wallace for the defendants in
order to get the suit out OF that court, but
it does not appear that now the company
have recognized the futility of contesting
the cases on that ground that they will be
dropped. They are 20 be begun again in
he State courts, course which will work
hardship on the settlers. who will have 10
go many miles from home to appear in
court. Joseph ID. Redding. the special at
torney having charge of these cases for the
company, has gone to Los Angeles, but he
has stated that the suits will be Instituted
In the State courts.
The settlers have made several efforts to
get the Government to defend their eases,
and the Secretary of the Interior has rec
commended such course, but the Judiciary
Committee in whose hands the matter ow
is has done nothing so far.
John Daw. manager for Philip Kennedy
d Co., the dry-goOds house, is one of the
settlers on lands in Fresno County, and
when seen yesterday, said: THE action,
or rather non-action of the Judiciary Com
mittee in not recommending the passage
OF such bill to aid the settlers is worthy
OF severe censure, as subcommittee has
made favorable report | do not under
stand why the matter has been postponed
and / do not know whe her the presence
of {. z. Huntington and his special attor-
ney, Mr.. Redding, in Washington recently
has had anything to do with IL, but GER
tainly the public will draw their infer
ences. 1t is a curious thing that after
years of fOoling in United States courts
the company has at last found that the
courts have 10 jurisdiction. 1t is doubly
curious the company did not know this
b. fore In the face of the fact that they
were affirming this in regard to adjacent
lands. l believe the threat to institute
suits in the State courts is only bluff to
harass the settlers and put them to further
expense. As the United States sold us the
land they ought TO protect US or at least
help US 10 fight the case"
This is the feeling expressed by the set
tiers who having paid for their land object
to buying IL over again from the railroad
company.

was on duty at New Orleans as aid-de-
camp at the headquarters of General Butler
in 1862. when the heroic death of the vet
eran General Williams was the theme Of
universal admiration. At the beginning
of August, 1862, the town of Baton Rouge
was threatened by a Confederate force
eager for its recapture. The Federal gar
risOn holding the place was commanded
by Brigadier- General Thomas Williams of
Michigan. who had graduated at West
Point in 1887 and had served with distinc-

and Seminole wars. General Williams was

The captain of the battery of the T fth
United States Artillery in which / served
as lieutenant in McCIellan's Peninsula
campaigns was Stephen Il. Weed. He
was the son of Staten Island blacksmith
who had been sent 10 West Point in 1850
from the Free Academy of New York,
through competitive examination OF pub
lie school graduates initiated that year by
Congressman Daniel L. Sickles. The cir
cumstance is worth mentioning here as
showing the indomitable character OF the
man who from such lowly start had in the
second year of the war earned briga-
dier-generaPs stars. Weed was afianced to a
daughter of Hon. Simon Cameron of Penn
sylvania, and be carried in an inside breast

on several occasions sOlemnly eDjOined me
to secure and destroy in the event of his
ever being killed in action. Weeds fight
ing qualities speedily made him an object
of admiTing regard throughout the lannon's
sykes division" of regulars in the Filth
COrps. with which his battery served. In
1868 he was commissioned brigadier-gen-
eral-a promotion for which the captains
of the regular artillery regiments seemed
particularly eligible-al but one of the
captains of the Fifth Artillery, besides
the lieutenants and all the field officers
OF that organization being at one pc
Rod either brlgadier or major generals of
volunteers. General Weed wore his stars
for the first and only time in battle at
Gettysburg, where he commanded the
Third Brigade of Ayre's division, consist
