It Occurs Suddenly at his Home in st.
Paul.

Ii. j. Meycrding, formerly Of this city,
died at his St. Paul home on Tuesday, OF
internal hemorrhage, caused by the rup-
ture of an artery in the stomach as the
result of a cough
Mr.. Meyerding was one OF the early
settlers of the state and was we'll known,
both in New Ulm and st. Paul. He was
born in Germany sixty-nine years ago
and came to Chicago in 1854. The next
wear he removed to St. Paul and from
thence to New Ulm, arriving here in
1886. Prior to the Indian massacre he
was elected sheriff of Brown county and
immediately after the outbreak he re-
turned to St. Paul. For thirteen years
hp served on the board of education of
that city and also represented the Third
ward in the lower house Of the legisla-
. ture. For ten years he was connected
with the St. Paul health department.
Meyerding belonged to the German
Lutheran church, but at the time that
organization expelled members of secret
societies, he became one OF the main IN
SIstioat,rs in the founding of st. Paulus
church and insisted that the members OF
secret societies should not be barred.

usual changes in assignments were made
by the commissioner Of internal revenue
on October l. Democrats who were sup.
planted by others who were assigned, but
who were not dismissed from the service,
applied for the injunction, which was
granted. AS the injunction prohibited
anyone from assuming the duties, and az

Ship from st. Louis to New Orleans
for Three Cents q Bushel.
Stockholders Of the Consolidated Ele-
vator Company of St. Louis have practical
ly decided to organize company to build,
steel barges of light draft, in which it is ex.
pected grain can be shipped to New Or.
leans for cents a bushel. W. 3. Samuel,
general manager Of the company, has this
to say on the subject:
"A steel barge line will be running on
the Mississippi the early part of 1898.
There is a movement on foot to build steel
barges of the latest construction that will
draw but fourteen or fifteen inches OF
water and carry 500 tons Of freight. That
will make them capable Of running during
the lowest stages of water in the river and
they can carry grain the year round to
New Orleans for 3 cents per bushel. One
Of the best known shipbuilders in the
country will establish shipyard in ST.
Louis and construct these barges. BY the
first of next March we will have boat
and four or five steel barges ready for the
spring trade. These steel barges can be
operated far cheaper than the wooden
barges can. Only per cent Of the cost Of
steel barge will pay for its annual re-
pairs, whereas it requires from to 10 per
cent. to keep the wooden barges in good
condition. Owing to the low cost OF opera
ting steel barges very low freight rate
can be offered the public"

ZIG FIRE At WASHINGTON.
Million Dollar Confia grafton visits
the National CaNital.

the NatlOual Ma INI3k-
In Washington. fire broke out in the
central power station Of the Capita! Trac-
ton Company a few minutes before II
o'clock Wednesday night and in thirty
minutes the magnificent sixsto"y struc-
ture was doomed. The building occupies
the entire block from Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to G street. and from Thirteen and
One half street to Fourteenth, street. The
blaze started on tie southwest corner and
despite the efforts OF the entire fire de-
partment swept like wind through the
enormous building. The heat was so in
tense that the men were driven from the
adjoining streets. When it became evil
dent that no efforts could save the power
stntion, the department turned its atten-
tons to the adjoining property, hut the
flames leapcd across Fourteenth street
on the west to big livery stable and then
across Thirteenth and One half street on
the east and attacked Ii row q three
story brick houses.
So fearful was the heat that the fremen
could not get within reach of the burning
buildings. They were driven hack foot
BY foot until the streams from the hose
pipes could not reach the fire. The entire
fire department was on the scene. but so
fierce was the conHsgration that their ef-
forts were futile. The power house was
built four years ngo. II was six stories
in height, and besides containing the pow
er plant Of the Pennsylvania avenue lines
Of the Capital Traction Company was
occupied by dozeus Of Offices.
The walls began to fall by II O'Clock,
and with the decreasing heat the fircmen
were enabled to get to work On adjoining
property. Two hours after the FIRST alarm
was given the huge building was reduced
to a few crumbling walls. and damage to
the extent Of nearly million dollars had
been done. The loss on adjoining build
ings will not be large, as those burned are
Old and small. At one time the offices OF
the Southern Railway were Threatened,
but prompt work by the fremen checked
the flames.

Levied on for Back Taxes.

emulation OF taxes piing up against the
Harvey Peak Tin Mining, Milling and
Manufacturing Company, until the large
sum OF $40. 100 has accrued for the personal
tax. a levy has been made on the property
by the treasurer of Pennington County.
The property consists of all the machinery,
hotel and Office fixtures, horses and wagons
and all of the hay and grain harvested
from the ranches. The stockholders claim
that the law under which the tax levy and
assessments have been made was repealed
at he last term of the legislature, and they
VIII attempt to &c! out of paying the bacS
taxes il possible. The first step taken in
this direction is q restraining order from
the United States court enjOiniDg the
treasurer from making the sale of the
property at present. 1t is question OF
considerable Importance. for there are
other mining properties which are loaded
with back taxes waiting the result Of the
