Denver, Feb. 4-The intense
cold weather of the past four days
prevails today. The mercury has
risen only few degrees, and not
enough TO be perceptible. Re
ports from the mountain section
show that the snow has ceased
falling, and that railroads are
working heroically to open their
tracks. The Midland people say
they will have their line open with

rlRS. GUILFORD ON TRIAL.
Motion to Quash Indictment has
Been Denied.

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. A.
Judge Wheeler of the superior
court this morning denied the
motion to quash the indictment
against Mrs. Nancy Guilford for
the murder of Emma Gill. Mrs.
Guilford was in the courtroom
where the decision was rendered,
but she was perfectly composed,
and the fact that she would have
to stand trial ON the charge of
murder in the second degree did
not disturb her in the least.

this session to put it through. and

Fire Destroys Boarding House
in Springfield.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. Fire
last night in the boarding house
belonging to Mrs. Withey, at the
corner of Seventh and Cook SITS,
caused the death of three persons
by suffocation, and several more
were terribly burned.
The dead are: Mrs. Matte
Whitney, aged II years; Ellen Rose,
aged 80; John c. Hale, aged 40.
The fremen had the greatest
difficulty in confning the flames
within the four walls. Neighbors
discovered the fire in the dining
room and turned in the arm. When
the department arrived, however,
it was too late to save the house,
which was an old three story brick.
There were twelve boarders in the
house at the time. The fire was
caused by a servant using coal oil
to light the kitchen fire.

SPECIAL COUNCIL nEETINd.
fiatters of Importance Were Dis
cussed this Morning.


\ special meeting of the coun-
Gil was held at 1880 this morning
for the purpose of comforting with |
Engineer Phillips on important
matters relative to the waterworks
construction.
\ resolution was adopted to the
effect that the dam in the canon be
eliminated from the specifications,
AID iustructing Mr.. Phillips to no.
tify the Goddes & Seerie Stone
company of the fact.
The matter of selecting new
dam sight was referred to COM
mittee of the whole together with
the engineer. The members of
the board will visit Newlin creek
Monday.
The matter OF placing a stone
foundation under the tank has at
different times been discussed, and
opinion has been divided on the
question of it being necessary.
The sense of the board, however,
was that it would be poor economy
to place the tank upon the ground,
and so it will have a stone founda-
ton.
|. Mr. Phillips stated that Mr.,
Steinmetz would be ready Monday
to begin work on the reservoir, and
asked the council if they had a
perfect title to the land covered by
the site.
In order to make the board alb
solutely safe, the fire and water
committee were instructed to Sc
cure a written option on the prop
erty. This was done this after
noon, and so operations on the
reservoir will begin Monday.
The board was informed by En-
gineer Phillips that it would be
necessary for him to have some
place here in town that he could
call his office, and where he could
have some degree of privacy He
was accordingly instructed to So
cure n room in the Blunt block.
The Importance of deciding upon
the number of inspectors required,
wages, etc, and the manner in
which choice should be made of
the applicants, was brought before
the board. 1t was decided that
applications for the position of in
spector should be made TO Mr.
Phillips, and by him be referred
to the board with recommended
ton. Such inspectors will be paid
a salary of So per day, with excep-
ton of Engineer McFall, who h, S
been engaged at a salary of 500
per month.

war.
"Archbishop Chappelle was In

'The important new developments

sepce there. Two things have conspired

are these factors.
"By placing the affairs OF the church
under the supervision of American
prelates, and thus taking out of the
hands of the Spanish and native church
officials all direct control, church ad-
mipistration will be assured in sym
pathy with the Americans.
eff there ever has been any vandal-
ism in churches in the islands, il will
certainly be at an end when the arch
bishop has made the necessary changes
In church government. The success
of the American army in recent en-
tgagements, practically ending the in
surrection, will place the Americans In
control, and the church will be enabled
to work in harmony with the soldiers

lands is most opportune, coming at
just the right moment for the estsb-
lishment of new churches and the re-
organization of the old, as the Amer
leans come for the first time into real
power.
There are in the islands four bish-
ops under the Arch bishop Manila,

new apostolic delegate. The archbishop
still retains his place at thu head of
