Judge Dewey Decides They May Han
die Liquors.
Washington, Jan. 10.--Judge a. Il.
Dewey, of the Sixth judicial district
OF Iowa, has handed down a decision
refusing to grant the injunction
prayed for by the Temperance League
to restrain express companies from
carrying liquor into the state. The
decision was another case of the To-
cal temperance society, who had
seized liquors shipped by the Adams
and United States Express companies
and filed suits against them, charging
their agents with being retail liquor
dealers because they collected for
liquor. The defense claimed the sales
were made in Illinois, Kentucky ana
elsewhere, and that the goods were
in transit under the interstate COM
merce law. The liquor, 1t is claimed
was shipped from davenport into IL
linois and from there to Washington.
Judge Dewey refused the injunction,
holding the liquor to be legitimate
article of commerce under decisions
of the supreme court. The decision
is of great importance to transporta-
ton companies In Iowa. The temper
ance people are expected to take the
case higher.

xevolu tionists Of Columbia Are APP
preaching Panama.
Washington, Jan. e.-Consul zen,
eral Gudger at Panama cables inc
state department that the Colon.
han government announces that
the reyolutionists are approaching
Panama and making preparations
for fight which is likely to occur
soon. The state department 1ntenas
taking vigorous action if the city IS
threatened with bombardment, TO
protect American interests, ana 10
carry out the duties we have assum,
ed by treaty for the protection u
the isthmus of Panama.
There is reason to believe that the
United States government will aoop'
n vigorous line of action in case the
CITY of Panama is attacked or there
is any interruption of the transit ia
cilities of The isthmus. According 10
a treaty arrangement with ooluln-
bia the United States has been gwen
a certain measure of protection over
the peaceful conduct of this tra11lc
across the isthmus. When Consul
General Gudger few months ago
reported that the revolutionlsts
would lombard the city OF Panama,
Acting Secretary of State AN
promptly sent dispatch to MIR.
Gudger announcing in unusually vlS-
orous terms that this government
would not tolerate any action likely
to prejudice American interests or
interfere with the rights which this
government had assumed.
The dispatch became public in
Panama and had the effect OF put
ting an end to the plans OF bonn
bardment. Mr.. Gudger's present
dispatch does not indicate that the
city itself is about to be attacked
but if it develops by later informa.
ton that there is any prospect OF
bombardment, the vigorous proceed
ure of q few months ago will be re-
peated.
At present the gunboat Ranger is
at Panama and the Philadelphia
and Iowa are on their way to that
locality,

Pierce Ma nsiOn.
Sioux City, Jan. 10.-The ownership
of the John PIERCE house, drawn by
ticket No. 1886, may have to be de-
cided by quiet little trial before the
committee of men who assisted Mr..
PIERCE in disposing of his home
There are limitations that in case
this decision is not satisfactory the
case may go into the courts for
further adjudication. In case OF any
effort at law to determine who is en-
titled to the house some interesting
questions would arise. Article 3, Sec
ton %, of the Iowa constitution, pro-
vides that mo lottery shall be au-
thorized by this state, nor shall the
sale of lottery tickets be allowed"
and heavy penalty is provided.
Messrs. B. M. Bills, Cato Sells and M.
J. Tobin of Vinton have arrived in
Sioux City to look after the claim OF
Mr.. Bills, who expresses all conf
dence that he is the rightful owner
of the property.

ton in the district court claiming

injuring him quite severely. Mr..

to be bitterly fought when it comes
to trial.

$1O,O14.S3 in back taxes in which he

THIRTY CHILDREN BURNED
Awful Casualty List in a Rochester
Orphanage.

Rochester, N. Y, Jan. 9.--by the
burning of the Rochester Orphan
asylum yesterday morning between
twenty and thirty lives were lost
and many Of the inmates will die
from burns or other injuries. The
asylum was three story structure
at the corner of Hubbell Park and
Exchange street, and its occupants
numbered between 1865 and 1875. MISS
Cline, a nurse, smelled smoke and
a moment later the smoke was To-
Gated in the boiler room. All the
fire appara tus was hurried to the
building but before the fire engine
arrived the structure was in flames
Shortly after the fire broke out a
boiler exploded with terrific force,
completely blowing out the lower
part of the west end of the connect
ing wing, thereby cutting of the es-
cape of the children from the cast
of the building.
Al of the children were asleep, and
awakening amid flames and smoke
panic resulted. The scene was APP
palling.
Ambulances from all of the hospi-
tails were on the ground almost as
soon as the fire companies, and
houses in the neighborhood were
thrown open to receive the little
waits who were carried from the
asylum. The ambulances were start
ed to the hospitals with the more
seriously burned children. In sew.
eral cases the little victims were
dead when taken from the vehicle
at the hospital doors. The scenes
at and near the asylum were heart
rending. A large portion of the
asylum building was totally Destroy
ed and the portion that remains
standing probably is in such condi-
ton that it's demolition will be nee
essary.
Rochester, N. Y, Jan. 1o.-Twenty-
eight dead bodies now lie at the
morgue and twelve others, more or
less seriously injured lie at the diff
ferent hospitals in the city tonight
as a result Of the terrible holo.
caust which occurred at the Roch.
ester Orphan asylum. OF the dead
twenty-six were children of both
sexes, ranging in age from 2 to Il
years, while the remaining two are
adults.

in Cherokee county case yesterday
Judge Hutchinson handed down an

opposes Judge Dewey's opinion and
holds the amendment to be valid. He
CONSTITUTES, furthermore, the intent of
the legislature, and holds that the Of
ficers elected last November are en-
titled to their places. The action
arose through an effort to keep Dan
iel Unger, a newly elected member of
the board Of supervisors, from taking
his seat. The board refused to accept
him as member, so he applied to the

ruled today that he should have his
