a special meeting of the
board OF supervisors to receive it.
Geneva Court House the Pattern.
From the best that can be learned
the Geneva court house, located in
Kane county, between Aurora and
Elgin. will be the pattern on which
the committee will base its adver-
tisement for bidders. although archi-
tects will be invited to furnish plan s,
and these will include a fountain in
the center of the building and direct
ly under the dome with balconies
running around the same sn each
floor.
When the building committee meets
again. the bond committee will also
assemble and both will endeavor to
complete their plans to the end that
there may be as little delay as possi-
bic in pushing the project this win
ter. and getting all things in readi-
ness to begin active operations early

The consummation of the sale of
the Knox property on Twentieth
street and Fourth avenue, to II. b.

Thursday evening, will involve the
erection of another handsome new
business block. The consideration is
5,737.50. the ground having a 'front.'
age of 76i feet on Twentieth street.
by 78 feet on Fourth avenue. and all
that remains to be done now is the
examination of the abstract.
Nice Block.
Mr.. Sudlow stated yesterday that
while he was not prepared as yet to
give out his plans, he would not per-
NIT the property to lay idle. This
sustains the belief that he will erect
a handsome 2-story business block
for stores and offices and flats. on
one of the best locations in the city.

CALLED THE GOVERN0R LIAR.
Member of the Arkansas Legislature De
nounces the Executive.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, March 6-The
storm that has been brewing in the
LEGISLATURE ever since the Iron Mountain
railroad week ago defeated the bill! for
the establishment of a railroad commis-
sion. broke out this afternoon when a
resolution was offered In the House TO
eject from the hall the representatives OF
newspapers that had criticized the action.
REPRESENTATIVE Monroe, of Little Rock,
rising to a question of personal privilege,
denounced Governor Clarke, as an IN
famous liar and rascal.
When the railroad commission bill was
first offered In the Legislature 1t was
favored by a large majority. The Iron
Mountain railroad established large
and influential lobby here, and when the
bill came up for final passage 1t was de-
featod.
The newspapers, particularly the Com
mercial Appeal of Memphis minated
that bribery had been used. Governor
Clarke, in an interview yesterday, sup
ported this charge of bribery. Last even
ing Representative Monroe called on the
Governor and was ordered out. There
upon Monroe made his attack on the
Governor to-day. He concluded by say
ing he had more proof that the Cover
nor IS a liar than the Governor has
against any member OF the legislature
There is a feeling that Governor Clarke
will resent Monroes attack In decisive

part of this month TO acquaint himself
with all the circumstances connected
with the proposed Nicaragua canal. He
will sail from New Orleans between the
10Th and 18th Of March, arriving at Grey
town few days later
Mr. Money is not satisfied with the bill
which recently passed the Senate author
izing the construction of the canal. IL
apprOpliatas 100000 for that purpose,
but makes no provision that a single mile
Of canal shall be completed. All of this
money. i'm his opinion, might be spent up
on the harbor at Greytown, which
rs not a satisfactory Earbor and which,
if dredGed would, he says. be filled up
again by the first norther He favors the
canal project, but would prefer that it be
built by a private corporation, provided
the profits would Justify fair dividends
If not. il should be built under Govern

that there should be a canal. if the route
shall prove TO be a feasible one. 1t is

Salaries Reauceh.

WASHINGTON, March G.-General Su-
perintendent Kiulbail, of the Life Saving
Service, has notified the superintendents
of the third. fourth, sixth. eighth, ninth,
tenth, eleventh. and twelfth lfe-saying
districts that Congress has reduced their
salaries from $50 TO 81 600. The supern-
tendents of the first, second, fifth, and
seventh districts had their salaries in
creased to Sl.61, thus equallzing the
salaries of all superintendents. Here
tofore the salaries have been adjusted
largely on the basis OF the number OF
stations i'm the various districts. Now
some OF the superintenden;s who have as
few as two stations TO look after receive
as much salary as superintendents who
have forty-one stations to look after.
Superintendent of the larger districts
have to give $4,000 bonds and disburse
annually as much as 100000. 1t is stated
as probable that some of the superinten-
dents whose salaries have been reduced,
will resign i'm consequence. In three dis
tricts. extending from Maine TO Virginia,
the Secretary Of the Treasury recon-
mended an increase in salary to $l,S0O per
dnuum.

TWO Of thea were the property Of Mir.
James Holleran. who keeps a saloon on
Seventeenth street. and the other two
were owned by Mr.. o'Keefe.
The fire originated in a house occupied
by a colored family and the cause did
not seem to be known. 1t quickly spread
TO the other three, one OF which was
occupied by colored family. another by
Mr.. John Garbett, an employe of the
Richmond Locomotive Works and the
other vacant. MIR. Garbett and his family
escaped with their lives but all of his
goods were consumed.
Mr. Holleran was seen at his place of
business and stated that his portion OF
the burned property was insured for 5000

about the same sum.
