WINE TRUST,
The California Product for Five Years
Contracted For.

The California Product for Five Years
Contracted For.
SAN FRANC1sCo. Feb, 22.--The greatest
wine deal that has ever taken place in
the United States was contaminated to-
day. 1t involves the sale of 100000
gallons and the lease of six of the largest
wineries in the state by the California
Wine Makers corporation. The pur-
chaser and lessee is the California Wine
association. an organization of the prin-
cipal wine dealers in San Francisco. The
transaction means that the California
wine dealers can hereafter make a profit
and that the big dealers will hereafter
be merchants, leaving the grower and the
presser a clear field for his industry and
enterprise.
When about ten days ago the Wine
Makers corporation sold its first one
million gallons of dry wine to Lackman
& Jacob, it gave to the wine association
an option of an equal amount at the
same price, namely 1919 cents a gallon.
This option would have expired to-
morrow. The Wine Makers association,
instead of taking one million gallons of
wine, purchased four million gallons of
the crops Of last year and 1893 and con-
tracted for five million gallons a year for
three succeeding years. The price of
the tour million gallons is 1873 cents a
gallon, but for the next three years it lie
to be fixed by future markets. The wine
is to be delivered in San Francisco at
the rate of 100000 gallons a month. cash
payments to be made in the month of
each delivery.

A CITY ON FIRE
Four Blocks in Hot Springs, Ark, in
Ruins and the Flames Still
Raging.
ALL THE HOTELS IMPERILLED
Reported that at Least Nine Deaths
Have Occurred-No Adequate
Fire Department.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. GA special from
Hot Springs, Ark, says a fire, breaking
out there at i o'clock this morning, has
ragged without control, and go far four
blocks of buildings have been destroyed.
Mrs. Mcleod is known to be dead, while
others are missing, Reports at 0 o'clock
were that eight were dead, and the num-
Der will be increased when a thorough
examination of the ruins can be made.
Hot Springs has no adequate fire de-
partment. The streets are narrow and
the buildings frame. So far none of the
large hotels have burned, but all are in
danger.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Feb. 22.-Three
people are known to have persisted in
the fire which started in this city at 4
o'clock this morning. -Four large blocks
of buildings were soon laid in ruins. 1t
is feared the number of dead will be
much greater than three, as many people
who lived in the destroyed buildings are
missing. How the flames started is
a mystery. When discovered the fire
was under strong Roadway and made
such rapid progress that the department
could do little toward checking it. Peo-
pie who roomed IN the doomed structures
were caught almost without warning and
nearly all who escaped did SO in their
night clothes, being unable to save any
of their effects. The fire is still beyond
control. The dead are: Mrs. Sammon,
boarding house keeper; d. w. Wing, of
Glons Falls. n. Y, and Mrs. Hecox,
boarding house keeper, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bronson of Macon. Mo, were slightly
injured in jumping from a burning
building. The fire originated in a bakery
over which were furnished rooms kept
by Mrs. Summons. Other buildings
burned were the Laclede, O~nachite,
Illinois, Missouri, Oak Lawn and
Bloomington boarding houses; FL. NJ.
Hudgins' residence, +. L. Williams three
story brick, Joplin grocery, f.. Rand
olph's residence, Ledgerwood's bakery,
the Tennessee stables, West house and
fifteen cottages. The total loss is $4,000
with very little insurance. The fire
burned both sides of Onachita avenue
to Hawthorne, one side of Hawthorne to
Woodpine and both sides of Orange to
NuapaW street.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT,

B~oze,nan's Mayor Suggests Amendments
to the Code.
The MAYOR of Great Falls is in receipt
OF a communication from George L.
Ramsey, mayor of Bozeman, a copy OF
which has been sent to all Montana may
ors. He asks the cooperation of the
officials of Montana cities in order thai
the desired changes may be made. His
letter ls as folloWs:
ut mas probably come under your OBJ.
servatlou that there are many dlscrep'
ancies and defects in the code as 1t ap'
plies to municipal government. Ut
would seem. however. impossible at
tn.s late moment to remedy all the de-
fects that appear, but there are two or
three very Important points that L think
ought to be looked after. without fail,
befoLe the adjournment of the legis-
lature:
The provision now in force, to the
effect that the county treasurer shall
collect the city taxes is a good one, and
has the merit of being simple and mex
pensive; the code causes a return to the
old method of separate collection by the
respective %treasurers, which is crude and
cumbersome. An amendment should be
made which will cover that point.
Under the provisions of the code a
city can issue no evidence OF indebted
ness, of any kind or character. unless
the treasurer has actual funds to meet
it. Many cities that are now behind in
current expenditures, but who's cred
itors (city officers and the like can re-
ceive the pay due them, subject to a
slight discount by the bank. would have
to cease business entirely. Section 33S2,
subject 10, provides that the treasurer
shall pay out in the order in which they
are drawn, all warrants presented for
payment The word registered should
be substituted for drawn You
can easily imagine the confusion
that would arise if the treasurer was
obliged to pay warrants il the order in
which they were drawn. And at the
same time a provision ought to be in
serted for the registration Of warrants,
as at present.
Under section 1860, an alderman can
hold no other Office, not even that OF a
school trustee. The word 'ealaried
should be inserted before the word
office, making the provision read that he
could hold no salaried Office while an
alderman, or for one year after the ter
mination of his office
The amendments suggested are all
very simple in their nature, If attended
to at once, but will cause serious trouble
if not looked after. 1t would seem a
matter Of sufficient importance for a
special meeting. May We ask you to
kindly interest yourself in the subject,
and see if something cannot be done to
remedy the Inconsistencies mentioned.
Will you not write your representatives
and the COMMITTEES Gu cities concerning
Them

Arrangements for the Castellane-tioUld
Wedding.

"eOulnS.
New YORK, Feb. 81. Count de Cas-
tellane has arranged to have Archbishop
Corrigan perform the marriage cere-
n.ony which will unite Miss Anna Gould
and himself. The statement published
in various papers that a Presbyterian
clergyman would o~tiiciate at the mar
riage was absurd on the face of it as
the bridegroom-elect is a Catholic.
There is every probability that the
wedding will be celebrated on the first
Monday in March, The contingency is
as 10 a very remote possibility of the
parents of the bridegroom, Marquis and
Marquise de Castellane. and his brother,
Count Jean de Castellane, somewhat his
Junior, not reaching here in time. The
cablegram announcing their intention to
take the trip and witness the marriage
has reached here, and it is not likely
they will delay their departure from
France unnecessarily.
The front drawing o Of the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs George Gould on
upper Fifth avenue will be the scene Of
the wedding. The bride will be exquisi'
lively arrayed and attended by Miss
Montgomery, Miss Kittie Cameron anc
perhaps two other young women Count
de Castellane will have for his grooms
men his brother, Count Jean de Castel
lane; Prince del Drago of Spain, nov
here at the Waldorf; Howard Gould
brother of the bride, and Raoul Duval,
young Frenchman, who has been over q
long as Connt de Castellane.
The ceremony will be performed a
noon. and will be followed by a superl
bridal breakfast and general reception
