Washington, Jan. 2S-The Northern Pacific railroad receivershi was dis posed of to-day by justices assigned to the several circuits in which are locat- ed the properties of the company.

1xYEsr1GArIoN CONTINUED.
the Origin of the Merslck Fire-Will Ex- anime Pfeghar To-day.

Coroner Mix Took Krali's Testimony on
 the Origin of the Mersick Fire-Wnl Ex-
 anime Pfieghar To-day.
 The coroner shows a determination not to let the Pf1eghar fire drop inmedi- ately. Yesterday afternoon he visited the home of Alexis Krah at 639 State street and took his testimony. Krah was resting comfortably and apparent ly becoming much stronger. He was foreman of the Pfleghar shop and was the man who was so badly burned at the fire.
 Krah stated that he had been in the, employ of Pfeghar & Son for two years and at the time of the accident had six men under him. Hauser, he said, was one of them and was at work on the new valve for the regulator on the fa- tai day. The cylinder in which was the least gas and which was designated as the empty cylinder stood near Hauser's lathe When the gas first arrived here from New York two of the New York company's agents came and showed the men how to use it.
 They said that no harm would result if a lighted match were used to find a leak Krah was sitting in a chair ob- serving the workings of a regulator which had been placed upon the full cylinder Hauser was at work on a lathe, near which the hole was burned in the floor. The explosion knocked Krah to the floor. He regained his feet and succeeded in making his way to the bridge, thence to the street. He re- lnembered very little after that, al- though he had been told that he ran all the way home Krah was firmly of the opinion that it was the empty" cylin. der which exploded.
 He thought that Hauser must have lighted a match to find a leak or to see if the valve leaked any. This. Krali said, was just what the New York agents said they could do.
 Krah evinced willingness to enlight- en the coroner on every point in his knowledge, and his testimony is most important, as it tends to show that the used up or "empty" cylinder was the first to explode.
 To-day the coroner will call on the elder Pfleghar, and Dr. Toof will prob- ably be heard also.

Money for the Cubans,

Bridgeport, Jan. 2S.-Colonel T. J. Murphy, state commander of the Hiber- nian Rifles, when asked tonight if any money had been raised in Bridgeport for the equipment of Cuban filibusters said he was willing to state what was generally known that the steamship Isa- bella had been considered by Cuban friends, and money raised in this ctiy and elsewhere to purchase her, but af- ter due consideration the boat was not found to be up to the standard, and the idea of equipping her for service was abandoned He says the money which was raised for the Isabella has undoubtedly been expended, but he re- fuses to say how it has been turned over to the Cuban cause.

 Edward Cunningham, father and son, have carried on the vault cleaning bus mess for fifteen years. The license to do so was issued to the father. The son has had it renewed from year to year. Now they have separated and both claim it. As the taking out of ;, new license costs $10 there is quite g. contention. The board decided that the old man owned the license.
 The garbage license of Giovanni Geb. rassi of the annex was revoked.
