! Dir. Ganss in the work of establishing the
Society for the Preserva ton of the Faith
| Among the Indian Children within the ter
| ritory of the United States. For his work
| Father Currier is stated TO have the appro-
baton of the archbishops of Baltimore,
New York and Philadelphia, who, together
with Rev. DR.. Dyer, president of St. Mary's
Seminary, Baltimore and Rev. Father
Ketcham, director of the bureau of Cath
Ole Indian missions, form the bureau for
the direction of Catholic missions among
the Indians.
Father Currier has contemplated this step
for year and half, having obtained the
permission of Cardinal Gibbons TO engage
in such work. This permission was after
ward withdrawn, as 1t is stated the car
dinai did not wish him to leave st. Mary's
Church just then.
However he persevered in his intention.
and in January last the cardinal renewed
this permission. A contract was drawn
up, and Father Currier was formally APP
pointed to continue the work begun by DIR.
Ganss who, at the beginning of the year
had been forced to retire owing to Ill
health.
Although his field will be countrywide,
it is stated that Father Currier will con-
tinue to belong to the diocese of Baltimore.
| 1t has been learned on excellent authority
that his eminence has assured the outgoing
pastor that all the time spent in the service
of the bureau will be regarded as so much
time employed in the service of the do
cese. All details as to his new duties be-
ing settled and mis- successor appointed. 1T
| is stated that Father Currier has decided
to begin the new work at once and will
leave the parsonage during the coming
week.

Necessarily Caused Delay.

The contractor had his workmen and i'm
plements ready for the word to start and it
was confidently believed by the Engineer
Commissioner and his assistants that the
appraisement of the commission would be
promptly confirmed. AS a result of the
delay incident to the hearing before the
jury the bids will in all probability have to
be again advertised for.
1t is stated that the verdict OF the jury,
which 1t is believed will be reported to JUS
tice Gould tomorrow, is more favorable to
the District than was the appraisement.
The jury. 1t is understood. have agreed to
award no damages whatever to any of the
parties interested for the land to be con-
demned. There eighteen parcels of
land to be condemned, and it is understood
that, as to all of them, the jury will report
that no damages will be sustained by the
owners on account of the taking of their
land for the extension of the street men
toned The effect of the jury's verdict,
therefore will be that the 500 awarded by
the commission to each of the owners of
parcels 1, 2, and 4 will not be paid to
them.

REACHES A DECISION
JURy'S FINDINGS IN MATTER OF
14TH STREET EXTENSION.
Reported the Verdict Will Be That
Benefits VIII Balance the
Damages.

In connection with the proceedings pend
ing in the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia for the extension OF 18th street
northwest from Lydecker avenue to Piney
Branch road, IT is understood the jury
which for the past fortnight has been con-
sidering the question whether the benefits
that will accrue to the remainder of the
tracts from which the land necessary for
the extension of the street is to be taken
will equal the value of the land TO be con-
demned has agreed upon a verdict. This
verdict will probably be returned TO the
court tomorrow. The jury is composed of
Messrs. Charles A Baker, George w. Moss.
William A. H. Church. James F. Oyster.
John E. Herrell Clement w. Howard and
Percy s. Foster.
The question whether or not the benefits
resulting from the extension will equal the
value of the land to be taken was first
submitted to a commission appointed by
the court, composed of Messrs. Thomas w.
Smith, Frank x. Raymond and Joseph d.
Wright, who reported that the benefits
would equal the value of the land, except
as to parcels known as Nos. l, 2, and 4,
for each of which they awarded damages
in the sum of 500 This report proved to be
entirely satisfactory to the District Com
missioners. the petitioners in the case, and
also to all of the property-owners con-
cerned save Miss Isabel II. Lehman, the
owner OF parcel NO g.. VINO OBJECTED 10 the
report of the commission, and asked that
jury be summoned to pass upon the matter.
Jury Allowed.
Miss Lenman's objections were called TO
the attention of Justice Gould, presiding
in the District Court, who overruled a mo-
ton which had been filed by Assistant Cor
poraton Counsel A. Leftwich Sinclair, ask
ing that the report of the commission be
ratified and confirmed, and directed the
United States marshal to summon a jury
of seven citizens in the case, requested
by Miss Lehman. The courts action, 1t
stated at the time, was based a provi-
sion of the District code, authorizing the
Summoning of jury of seven persons in
the event that ANY of the parties interested
shall be dissatisfied with the appraisement
of the commission"
Upon this provision of the law consider
able comment was INDUCED in about the
city hall and the District building at the
time by persons interested in the extension
and improvement of the street. Surprise
was expressed that it should be within the
power of a single property owner to prevent
the confirmation of the appraisement by
the expression of dissatisfaction herewith.
1t developed that the engineer department
was ready at the time to commence work
on 18th street, and had been for two
months, and that the bids for the eXcavat-
ing and grading had been advertised for,
received and opened. and the lowest bidder
advised that soon the report of the
appraisers was confirmed he would be given
the contract.

E. A. Henderson Of Valdez, Alaska,
passed thru the city yesterday on the
way to New York to visit his father.
Mr.. Henderson will be remembered as a
newspaper man in Minneapolis a dozen
years ago. He has been on the Pacific
last three years in Alaska, where he |
holds the position of clerk Of the fed
eral court at Valdez.
Mr.. Henderson is soon to be trans
ferred from Valdez to the new and
mana river: He says that Fairbanks will
camp cal in Alaska. Early in the season
the output for this year was estimated
at $4,000, 900. It soon ran over that and
was estimated at $5,000,O00. It is now
likely, to exceed that amount and is per
haps literally estimated at $8,000,000 in
gold. There are probably no less than
10000 people at Fairbanks, and on the
creeks Of the tributary district this
year. lit is the mecca for gold seek

The first stampede to Fairbanks oc-
Cured two years ago. It only lasted
few weeks, the first arrivals being
disappointed and quitting early in the
engagement. Mr.. Henderson met two
Minnesota men on the lower Yukon two
years ago this month who had just
come out of the Tanana country, thor
DIV disgusted and vowing that they
would never follow another stampede.
Last year very important developments
were made, bringing into the town and
the district probably 5000 people, and
now Fairbanks is city Of over 5000,
with daily newspaper, equipped with
| Mergenthaler typesetting machines,
with telegraph and telephone service,
banks, churches, schools and theaters,
and an electric railway is under con-
struction out into the center Of the
mining district.

occupation tax outside the incorporated
towns is accommodating about $4,000

THINKS WORLD

VIM. HENRY EUsTIS DECLARES
GRAFT IS NOT GENERAL.
Calls Attention to the Fact that Thou
sands of Honest Men Are Perform
ing Their Duties and that Graft Is
the Exception to the Rule-Force Of
Public Opinion.

Continued and numerous exposures
of graft in civic affairs and in private
business have tended to give major
ity of the people an idea that graft is
prevalent in every department Of pub
lie and private service. A former
mayor of Minneapolis holds that the
reverse is the case and that the ex-
posures are a demonstration of bet
terment Of the public mind and re-
fusal to permit; dishonest officials and
employees to pilfer in peace.
1.-THE exposition Of graft in public
offices is not demonstration that pub
| lie officials are all becoming untr.,st-
worthy, but is rather proof that public
sentiment will no longer stand for any
crooked work by men in trusted posi-
tions,'' said William Henry Eustis to-
nThe world is getting better all the
time. There is great noise about
graft but there is nothing heralded
! Of the great body of men who have pub.

PART OF WIDE CAMPAIGN
Railroads Evidently Determined to Gust
Ticket Scalpers.'

st. Paul business men have appointed
rates for the state fair. Railroads have
heretofore made a one-way rate, but
base their refusal this year on the prob
ability that tickets will fall into the
hands of scalpers. If this condition
should be disposed of, the roads would
grant the rates.
The refusal to make rates appears to
be part Of the general campaign IN the
regarding St. Louis fair rates. Strict
laws were passed there and courts took
prompt action against scalpers. This
resulted in the granting Of generous
rates by the roads. Similar methods
were taken at Portland, Ore, and other
points, and it is probable that more
stringent measures will be taken in the
twin cities.

Bold Highwayman Captured After Bat

Apportionment Reaches
High Figure.

Ed Snyder, who halls from Mich
igan, committed two bold robberies
Monday morning at the village of
Mansfield, north Of Redfield. His first
victim was a country schoolteacher,
whom he met on her way to school
and who was compelled to deliver her
watch and valuable jewelry. He then
walked into Mansfield. where he held
up one of the village stores, ordering
the storekeeper to hand over all cash
on hand. The demand "'as promptly
complied with, though only few dol
lars were secured. The storekeeper
gave the alarm, but not in time to ap-
prehend the criminal, who next ap-
peared at the village of Athol. The
authorities there had been notified and
attempted to capture him. A running
fight ensued between townspeople and
Snyder, in which the town marshal
was wounded severely in the arm.
Snyder was wounded in the right hand,
but continued the fight until shot
through the cheek, when he surren-
dered.

FIVE PERSONS PERISH
HEROIC FATHER DIES IN At.
TEMPTING TO RESCUE WIFE
AND CHILDREN.

Crookstoa. Mimi, Dec. 1e.-Peter
Martell. for nine years carriage
maker of Red Lake Falls, his wife,
Eddie, aged thirteen; Dan, aged nine,
and Annie, aged eleven, were burned
to crisp in their home in the heart
Of Red Lake Falls.
Martell, who was sleeping down
stairs, was awakened at o'clock by
the smell of smoke and the sight of
fire. His wife and the three children
were asleep in the upper chamber and
the father, frantic with fright, made a
rush for the stairway only to find it
mass of unpenetrable flames. He
then rushed to the barn and, seizing
. ladder, placed it to the second story
window Of the home.
An eyewitness, aroused by the fire,
says he broke in the glass and entered
the sleeping room of his wife and
children. A moment later the upper
story of the building, weakened by the
fire. fell in, precipitating the mother,
heroic father and the three children
to the veritable hell of fire below.
Before the fire department at Red
Lake Falls could stop the fire the
house consisted of four blazing posts
and mass Of wreckage, with the
charred and blackened remains of the
i've unfortunate members of the fam
lily in heap, burned to crisp, in the
center.
