Fire on East Broad Street.

Last night the whistle from some
steamer got a moye on itself down
on East Broad street and kept up
such a blowing that it got all the
pistol toters in town to discharging
their arms The alarm was caused
by a small cottage being on fire near
the oil tank depot. The house was
occupied by George Ledbetter and
was insured for Sl00 and was the
property Of Mr. Fred Oflenhauser.
Mr.. Ledbetter had $500 insurance
on furniture. The building adjoin-
ing was badly scorched, and was
occupied by Mr. r. e, Nunley. The
furniture in the house was saved by
being carried out into the street

Theatrical Troupe Held Up.

Our quarantine officers had a
tough case to deal with yesterday,
but finally decided what to do.
There came to this city from the
TIP road, a troupe known as Uncle
Toms Cabin, and they were from
some point east of Mississippi, and
had been railroaded through the
yellow fever belt of Jackson aud
Vicksburg on to Shreveport and
through Marshal to this place.
When they got to the T-C Junction
and wanted to unload there for
Paris, the quarantine officers said
nit, and then they came to this city
with view of canceling their Tex
as dates and return north.
When this fact was made known
Mayor Mullins objected to them en-
tering the state of Arkansas, un-
less the conductor would make affi-
dayit that he would take them
Though the state without change
of car. The conductor at this
went to wiring the trainmaster and
the result was the Iron Mountain

cially stranded and did not have
the price of a ticket to any old
place, but if he could reach Paris,
and play to crowed houses there, as
he expected to, and then go to Dal-
las and fill the dates for three
nights, he would be able to pay off
all expenses.
The Texas quarantine officers de-
cided to take them to the detention
camp and fumigate their baggage
and let them proceed to Paris.
We have nothing but praise for
our plucky mayor in the action he
assumed in the matter, as he not
only acted for his own people here,
but for the entire state in keeping
out troupe of people just from an
infected district, and while there
may be no danger, it is better to
place safe guards about the state
than to invite such people to &c
from town to town.

That Bond Case.

The witnesses are all back from
Jefferson where they testified in the
bond case of the American Trust
company VS.. the city. The suit
was brought to compel the city to
pay for $4,000 worth of water
works bonds issued by one city ad-
ministration and repudiated by the
next one on the grounds that the
assessed valuation of the property
did not Justify the issue of the
same.
Yesterday Chic, Benefited and
others swore that the assessment
for 1886 was less than 5000, 00O
while Tom Murray swore that he
was positive that the assessment
went over $t,300,000, If the jury
believed this latter testimony
they would have to give a
verdict for the trust company, but
it the assessment tell under this,
then the city was to have the YER
dict and the bonds were not collect
able 1t was thought the rolls
were burnt up in the fire of the
II. Vaughn house and they could
not be produced as evidence, and
Yesterday the case went to the
jury. This morning the rolls were
found and they show a less vaIua-
tion than 100000, and telegram
was sent to the federal judgeto this
effect, If the jury has brought in
verdict against the city, a new
trial will be asked aud the rolls will
be produced at the next hearing
and the city will win its case.

LIEUT.. FROST TO COMMAND.

Senator Pettigrew had an interview
with the secretary Of war Wednesday
evening in regard to the command of
the South Dakota troops. At his re-
quest, backed up by tho recommends
tion Of the governor, Secretary Alger
has decided to appoint Lieut.. Alfred s.
Frost, Of the twenty fifth infantry, as
colonel of the South Dakota regiment.
Lieut.. Frost 10 not West Pointer. He
enlisted in the army from Illinois as 3
private in the 11Sth infantry in Sept
1881. In August, 1884, he won promo
tion and secured commisson as second
Of the Twenty-fifth. He
took course and graduated from the
Infantry and Cavalry school in 1891,
and for the past year or more has been
military attache to the staff Of Gov.
Lee. The boys all know him and it is
believed that no better selection to
command the South Dakota troops
could have been made. Secretary
Alger also wired the governor that the
place for recruiting will be changed
from Huron to Sioux Falls.

GONE TO MEET THE PARIS.
The Cruisers Minneapolis am
Columbia Have Gone to Meet
the Paris.

Somewhere off the banks Of New
Foundland there are said to be two
Spanish gunbcats waiting to welcome
the arrival of the Paris. just how the
navy department made this discovery
is unknown. The department is in the
market for gunboats and this opportuni-
ty is not to be neglected, but the board
Of auxiliary cruisers has not been called
upon this time to arrange the trans
fer. In fact that board was not con-
suited. The desire on the part of the
navy to acquire two fully equipped
gunboats was transmitted to Commo
dore Schley. He Immediately ordered
the cruisers Minneapolis and Columbia
to move. These vessels are likely to
reach 1.-The Banks" by Wednesday.
They are the fastest ships in the United
States navy. On their trials each devel-
oped a speed of upwards of % knots
and should they succeed in finding
those Spanish gunboats the yellow and
red flag will either be replaced by the
stars and stripes at the peak of each
or both will find resting place in the
waters of the Atlantic somewhere near
the banks of New Foundland. The Co
lumbia and the Minneapolis will be
likely to meet the Paris in any event
and they will escort her into the port

TO FURNISH INFANTRY.
South Dakota is Required to Furnish
One Regiment Of Infantry In
stead Of Cavalry.

Adjutant General Corbin notified the
governor that the secretary of war hat
changed the quota for South Dakota
from seven troops of cavalry to one
regiment Of infantry. The governors
Office is swarmed with kilograms and
letters from all parts of the state asking
for commissions of all kinds and the
regiment could easily be made up Of
officers. No steps have
yet been taken as full instructions must
be received from Washington by letter.
Upon receipt of such instructions the
regimental officers will at once be COM
1nissioned and the regiment mustered
in. The government prefers the nation
al guard on account of their being
organized and experienced. They will
doubtless have the preference.
Col. Frost has been granted permis-
sion by the war department to accept q
commission from Gov. Lee.
Secretary Alger has detailed First
Lieut.. r. ]. Duff, Eight cavalry, to
muster into service the South Dakota
troops, Sioux Falls having been named
rs the rendezvous.

sEc'Y SHERMAN RESIGNS.
Judge Day Has Been Appointed Sec
rstary Of State to Succeed
John Sherman.

Another resignation took place Mon
day, when the venerable John sherman
handed his resignation to the president.
1t was a special meeting of the cabinet
and after some preliminary business
Mr.. Sherman turned to the president
and presented him with his resignation
in writing, to take effect at noon. The
president and members of the cabinet
were much affected by the announce
ment, but owing to the reasons stated
it was promptly accepted. The reason
given for the resignation was the very
infrm state of the secretary's health,
which is much impaired and also his
age, which is now within few days of
being seventy five.
The president has decided to appoint
Assistant Secretary Day to the vacant
place. Judge Day has been in charge
of the Cuban and Spanish questions
from the beginning Of the administra.
ton and is thoroughly acquainted with
al their details ~ we'll ss with al the
knstty questions which will confront
the government during the val.

tuesday.

Another capture was made Tuesday
which caused great excitement at Key

valuable and enthusiasm is consequent

The big liner which left New York
on April 20 and was without knowledge
that war had begun, was nearing Ha-
vana when the little Mangrove sighted

but the Panama paid no attention to it.
The Mangrove bore down on her, and
fred three shots. But it was not until
the little vessel had approached so near
that her captain could speak to the
captain Of the Panama that the latter
slackened speed. The Panama was
then informed that unless she at once
surrendered shot would be sent
through the ship. This had the desired
effect and the liner hauled down her
flag and gave herself into the charge of
the Mangrove.
just then the big battleship Indiana
steamed up and the Mangrove borrowed
q prize crew from her. The Mangrove
then took the lead toward Key West
and the big liner followed with the
prize crew aboard.
The Panama is q Spanish auxiliary
cruiser with considerable armament,
and the commander Of the Mangrove
took heavy chances in tackling the big
ship. The prize is a very rich one.
