SCHOOL DISTRICT CONTEST,
The Commissioners Listen to Argu.
ment on an Appeal.

The board Of county commissioners
is holding It's regularly quarterly ses-
sion, the principal business has been
as follows:
On motion the resignation Of }. A.
Hopkins as trustee Of Lincoln town
ship was accepted and John Shaver
appointed in his place.
The appeal from the decision oil the
county superintendent regarding the
formation Of a new district in Lyon
came on. W. A. Weaver represent
ing those opposed to the district
claimed that the people did not need
| it, that it would necessitate the build
ing of two new school houses which
could not now be afforded, and as
many or more would be as far away
|
from school in a division as now.
Supt. Shirk representing those
favoring a change contended that
enough would be benefited to warrant
new district. Also that the valua-
ton Of both districts will be large
enough with nearly 4 miles OF rail-
road in the smaller and 2 miles in the
larger one. The levy in either
would not have to be moro than 10
mills TO have s months school in each
As the district now Is the levy has
only been mills for school purposes,
The board Of commissioners con-
tinues in session. The remainder OF
the school district dispute was heard
After deliberation on the case the
board ordered the formation OF new
district to be called No. 1923, thus
sustaining the county superintendent.
A portion Of district 80 in Lyon is
made the new district and some adj
joining territory from district will
doubtless be added. Special school
district meeting will be held to elect
officers.

New ORLEANS, Sept. IA gigantic
fraud of counterfeiting Southern Pa
cifc railway tickets was unearthed
here yesterday with the arrest OF
Charles J. barnett, of Barnett &
Wenar Canal-street ticket calpers a

understood that an arrest has been
made in New York, through private
detective agency, and another arrest
in an eastern city, but the names OF
the prisoners are, for the present, with.

The tickets were counterfeited in
New York by u printing and litho-
graphing house in that city, and the
printers, it is said, are also to be ar
rested.
Inspector Fegan of the Southern Pa
cifc railroad has been at work on the
case for seven months. The South

BUFFALO'S BIG BLAZE.


BUFFALO, n. v, Sept 1.-One of the
most serious fires that has visited Buff
falo for several years started in the
basement Of the Academy of Music at
l o'clock this morning.
AT l:45 o'clock the tiremen, believing
that they had the fire under control,
withdrew part of their working force.
A few minutes later a blaze broke
through the rear of the academy and
rapidly spread to the adjoining fur
and hat store of George W. ComstocB.
This was soon totally destroyed.
The fire then spread to Glenny
Sons store, the largest importers cf
chinaware in the United States, an'i
burned through two stories before the
firemen were able to drive the flames
in the opposite direction, where they
found material to feed on in the drug
store of Lyman & Sloan, the American
Express Co.'S building and the West
ern Union Telegraph Co., the three
latter places suffering slight damage.
The Jeffreys Lewis Dramatic Co.
was booked to play this week at the
academy but had not yet transferred
their effects from the depot to the
tneater.
A conservative estimate places the
total loss at $500, 900.

HOLMES BUTCHER KIT
Was Sharpened by an Indianapolis Instru'
ment Maker.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 3.-There
are new developments in the Holme.
cases. Albert Shifilin, an expert in.
strument maker OF this city, met II.
II. Holmes on October 8, 1894. Holmes
called at his place of business, No.
50 Virginia avenue, on that day
with two cases OF instruments.
The cases were of brown morocco
leather. One case contained two
knives and saw. The knives were
about twenty inches in length one
had white handle and the other
black. They were quite sharp pointed
at the end and the blades bore few
dark spots. In shape they resembled
ordinary carving knives The saw of
was of very fine make and fifteen
inches In length. The other case
was much smaller and con-
tained, according to Mr.. Shiffiins
recollection, eight knives of various
sizes and shapes. Holmes asked
Shiffiin to sharpen all the knives, say.
ing that he would return for them the
next day. With him on this occasion
was the boy, Howard Pietzel, and
strange man with beard. Holmes did
not call the next day as he had prom
ised, but returned October and
secured the instruments. On the last
visit Howard Pietzel was again with
Holmes, but the strange man was not.
Holmes seemed to be in hurry, paid
for the work and left at once. These
knives were doubtless used to dismem-
ber young Pietzel before his body was
burned in the lrvington house.

SUNDAYS EARTHQUAKE.
Did 1t Cause the Washington Monument
to Depart fror, the Perpendicular?

WASHINGTON, Sept. Considerable
surprise is expressed here that no de-
velopments in regard to the recent
earthquake oscillations, 50 plainly per-
ceived in other localities, have yet
been announced from any of the scen-
tifc bureaus in Washington.
When, six years ago almost to a
day, the great Charleston g. C)earth-
quake occurred, a distinguished sci
entlst of the Smithsonian institution
delivered an address in which he dem
onstrated that there wasa volcanic belt
extending across the United States, of
which Washington city was the very
center
Elaborate preparations, it is under
stood, were thereafter taken at the
naval observatory and other points to
register any future seismic disturb
ances, but without result. 1t is said,
however, that when the Photographic
plate of the Washington monument,
understood to have been automatically
taken at the naval observatory Sun
day morning. is developed to-day,
some indications as to whether that
great column, $50 feet high departed
from the line of perpendicular during
the period of the earthquake may be

SYSTEMATIC STEALING.


Hons by "bllnd' water Pipeh
CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Ample evidence
of systematic stealing of city water by
means of blind" pipes has been discov-
cred in the Union stock yards. The
bencfciaries have been certain pack
ers, and the investigation, which has
only just begun, is expected to dis
close wholesale secret tapping of the
mains in the old town of Lake, in
which the stock yards are located.
Subordinate officials of the water
department, acting under secret or
ders of the commissioner of public
works, and assisted by a gang of
workmen, discovered six-inch pipe
from city main to one of the big
packing houses, which was d,verting
water from the meter.
1t is estimated by the Investigators
that the city has lost millions of dol
lars in water revenues by reason of
the secret appropriations of water for
many years. The investigation is
hampered by the fact that there are
maps of Jhc town of Lake water
system and it may be necessary to un-
cover four miles of mains and cut off
every pipe leading to the stock yards
territory to stop the suspected leak S.

CHICAGO. Sept. 1.-The knights OF
the Red flag carried their banner
through the streets of Chicago to-day
notwithstanding the orders of the
mayor, but its redness was concealed
hy covering of black. They held a
celebration this afternoon in the back
yard of saloon on Clybourn avenue,
at which Oscar Neebe and Michael
Schwab, two Of the anarchists par
doncd by Gov. Altgeld, and Lucy Par
sons were present
The day was made the occasion for
the presentation of handsome red
flag to the socialist labor party" OF
Chicago, by the wives and daughters
of socialists, At the grounds it was
unfurled amid great cheers, but it was
not waved according to orders.
The gathering of socialists, some
tof whom declared themselves to bs
anarchists and others who would be
insulted at the name, was not so large
or enthusiastic as similar assemblages
have been. The speakers of the day
we're NJ. V. Britzeus and Michael
Schwab
After the presentation Mr.. Britzeus
scored Mayor Swift for interfering
with the liberty of American citizens
by refusing them the right to march
through the streets with a red flag,
the "symbol of oscialism" Mr.. Schwab
disappointed those who expected him
to say much regarding his being put
in prison, The speaker did say that
his followers would succeed if 100. 900
of them were thrown into prison, bu,
he failed to make any personal re-
marks. He urged those present not tc
go home and sleep, but to go to work
and rally their people and teach their
children to fiUht auainSt ODDreSSiOn.
