Shortly after noon on the 8th a spark from a passing locomotive set fire in the heart of the great pine lumber yard district at Chicago, which lies along both sides of the south branch of the Chicago- river, and near the southwestern city limits. Bordering upon this district is a wooden built portion of. the city known as Bridgeport, and Union Stock yards with its acres of wooden sheds and pens, filled with cattle, hogs and sheep. A strong wind was blowing from the west and the fire spread with great rapidity. Great brands were carried forward by the wind, setting fire to new piles, and although the entire fire department was called out and began fighting the fire, yet the efforts and works of the fire department had but little effect in staying the flames among the dry pine boards and shingles piled so high. All the lumber between thirty-fifth and thirty-eighth streets, an area of about 400 by 2,000 feet was burned up. It set fire to a canal boat moored at the dock and it floated across the river, which is 180 feet wide at that point, and set fire to the lumber on .the east bank, which covered abonl an equal area, and this with one or two planing mills were consumed. From thia nolnt the fire. sot into sev- 1 : 'cotuiifebuiidines and burneH them down. The entire area burned over was 870 by 2,300 feet. The total loss on all property destroyed is vari ously estimated, 'the highest estimate fixing it at nearly $1,000,000. At one time there was quite a scare among citizenB who remembered the great fire of 71, which came from this same direction. Many intelligent editors are noting with "alarm," etc., that the most of the places of responsibility and honor in the government are being dealt out to ex-confederates. As this 1b what the majority of the people of the country, including the prohibitionists, asked for, we see no reason for sur prise. It is to be supposed that the voters knew what they wanted and they are getting nothing more than they said they wanted, whatever their private feelings might have been in the matter. The party that has a majority or plurality of the popular vote, sufficient to give it a majority .of the electoral votes in a presidential election, has a perfect right to the posts of honor .and trusts. No straight republican has any call to kick. An ex-confederate is in all respects as good a man as any other kind of a democrat so long as be be haves himself. There is no doubt on the part of. the Journal that Lamar would ornament the White House as well as Mr. Cleveland, -who was a neutral- during the war, and make a better President than he knows how to' be. We had as soon be ruled by an out-and-out confederate from the south as by an assistant confederate from the north. State Journal. A railroad smash-up at Gilmore the other day between freight cars just on-.the siding. The cars were knocked into kindling wood .and fragments thrown .right and left for many feet. A heavy piece .of the .wreck struck' the station house, and here tho remarkable part of the smash came in. S. B. Knapp, the agent, a large, portly man, heard the crash, felt the shock of flyjng timbers against the-walls and co'ncluded. at once that the. station- was coming down. He made, a .rush for tho rear window, 'smashed -the. sash' with a chair, and with a . headlong leap reached the' ground, lie was -tne. only person injured in the accident, and his case though not dangerou.s, -is a severe one". Of 'the six cars- smashed, two contained -grain, 'one horses,.'and the remainder were loaded with piles. The grain was spilled; the horses killed and the. piles, scattered to'the four winds. The other evening, the baggase master at the Union: depot in Pitts burg upon bursting' open a trunk "which gave 'put' a suspicious odor, was horrified to find therein a body I securely bound -and in an advanced state of decomposition. The trunk bad ".arrived' from'" Chicago over the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago rail way; but no person called to claim it. There were nd marks of violence.

Washington, May 6. Treasurer Jordon says the treasury count is practically over and everything found most satisfactory. Three silver dol lars, which escaped from a broken packago in the silver vault, have been found, so the only discrepancy is two cents missing from a five dollar pack age of pennies in the cash room. Yesterday a heavy square box wrap ped in red tape and securely bound, was found in an out of the way nook of the vault. The key had been mis laid. A locksmith opened the box and it was found to contain a bottle of diamonds, a bottle of pearls, a bot tle of ottar of roses and a lump of gold. One of the old employes iden tified the articles as presents to Pres ident Monroe about the year 1823, from the Japanese government, and which had been stored in the treasury pending the passage of an act of con gress authorizing their acceptance. Congress failed to legislate on the subject and the articles were deposit ed in the treasury, where they have remained ever since. The Northwest Treahle. Battleford. May 6. Further de mils oi tne eiiKKcuibUi. uctsczVc:: Otter's forces and Chief Pound maker's Indians show that the fight lasted seven hours. The Indians used muskets, warclnbB, spears, bows and arrows, and every conceivable weapon of warfare. No mention .is made in the dispatches of the killed and wounded being brought back, and it is judged from tho hasty march back that they were left behind. Nothing but a last extremity would induce Otter to leave them behind. No one has any doubt now that a bloody Indian war will follow. The Qoappelle Indians are to-day re ported to have risen and left Scherve. Crowfoot f chief of the Blackfeet, is related to Poundmaker and will, it is said, join him against the whites. The Dominion government and Col. Otter are blamed for not securing the rausom of Factor McLean and other white captives of the Indians before precipitating matters. Private ad vices from Clark's crossing to-day say Middleton began his advance this morning and a battle is expected at Batouche to-morrow. The War SitTMtieB. London, May 9. The Anglo-Russian situation continues to be envel oped in a cloud of uncertainty. It is absolutely impossible to predict what a day may bring forth. No. sooner had the people begun to be reconciled to the idea of the submission of the difficulty to arbitration than reports began to prevail questioning the pos sibility of there being arbitration after all and the talk as to the great things it was about to accomplish. Tonight no one professes to under stand what the precise condition of negotiations with Russia may be. The average Englishman finds it difficult if not absolutely impossible, to disa buse himself of feeling, whatever Mr. Gladstone and Earl Granville may say to the contrary, that "Russian dip lomatists are getting the better of the British. Every delay in the negotia tions has rebounded to Russia's ad vantage. While the ministers have been talking the Russian railway has been actively pushed toward- the Afghan frontier, And the Russian troops have seized debatable terri tory. These are facts and the average Briton . grows impatient when at tempts are made to- belittle their im portance, "or obscure them with .a cloud of words. Coleaabiam Jaatlce. LEADERS OF. THE .REBELLION IN PANA MA EXECUTED. - . CofON, May 7. The"- two rebel leaders, Portazal, and Cocobalo, who advised and assisted Preston in burn ing this city and who were held as prisoners on the "Galena," were de livered yesterday morning to Gen. Reyes, commander-in-chief of the Co lombian forces, by-Capt. 'Kane. A court-martial was then held and the rebellious conspirators sentenced to death. No delay occurred in execu ting the sentence. - In the. afternoon the condemned-men were taken to the middle of the ruins which they had been instrumental in making and banged in. the presence 'of a thousand persons, who assembled to witness the enforcement ' of the law. The place selected by Gen. Reyes was the exact spot where the reb.els. started the fire on March31st, which destroy ed nearly.every building in the" city. Gen. Reyes' prompt action has already bad its effect, for the hanging of Por tazal has struck terror to all. the rebels on the isthmus. . A party who came into Valentine from the west reports meeting 350 I teams on 'their way to White River. and -Hat Creek countries. The Hat Creek basin-is described as being, level as a floor, and comprising five or six townships of land having a very fine soil and covered with a heavy growth of; grass about ten inches high. The basin is drained by j several prongs of the creek, whose waters are never -failing, and ex cellent in quality. To' the north .the land stretches away down the valley and out. of the. "basin into the n'n surveyed lands of the Horsebead country, and on to the pine brakes of the river, gently rolling and level, all laying' finely and having a rich soil.

Levi Boyer, an Episcopal minister, presiding over the -.Washburn Mission at Ashtabula, Ohio, was suspended the other day by Bishop Bedell. Directly after his suspension Boyer fled from the city, leaving his wife and babe behind. The trouble originated with the appearance at Ashtabula of a handsome woman who caljed herself Mrs. Lillie Stewart, said she was from the south, and Bought and obtained many interviews with Mr. Boyer. Mrs. Stewart is still at Ashtabula, and claims that Boyer married her in the south and that she loves him and will find him wherever he may-go. His last wife, completely heart broken, has gone to her parents, taking her child with her. Notwithstanding the 10 o'clock closing ordinance, the Lincoln News is informed "that there are two dozen places where almost any person can obtain liquors after ten o'clock at night. They are probably not enu merated in the prepared veto of our mayor, but there are six classes. Fir6t, certain drug stores; second, certain restaurants; third, certain hotels; fourth, certain club rooms; fifth, certain gambling rooms; eixtb, houses of ill-fame; beside private residences without number that have become in the habit of supplying it since the ten o'clock law has been established. "Lincoln is a .pretty "tough" town. Fremont Herald. News from Wheeling, W. Va., says -that a gang of masked thieves the other night visited the bouse of James Cogans, an old Irish farmer, at Pasco Station, six miles from the city, and after -gagging and torturing Cogans and his aged Wife, ascertained the' whereabouts of $1,300 and decamped. It is said that the same gang have operated extensively in that vicinity. and there is a standing reward of 1500 for tbeir capture. If the gang had been "yanked" -when-they began their outlawry, the public would now probably be getting the benefit. ot tbeir labor, instead of suffering from their crimes. " Martin Nelson, living at Benito, N. M., in a fit-of insanity the other day shot and killed Dr. Wm. H. Flynn, late of Boston, May burg, his wife and two sons ; ' one neighbor came in and he too waB shot dead. A shot was heard from the rear of the house .by- the guard; and Herman Beck fell dead. Nelson then escaped from the house and went downstreet firing his Winchester-until he was shot dead. -Nelson, when sane, was. a good . citizen. He went to New Mexico from Nebraska, four, years ago. J.- I. 'Davis, living near Lincoln, made the other day a murderous attack upon J. M. Lucas, dentist, of Lincoln; with a long dirk knife, with which he inflicted nine cuts from which the blood flowed freely. Davis was captured. and jailed. The in juries of Lucas are not serious, a all the cuts are slight and were inflicted' about the head. Davis claims that his attempt to take the life of Lucas was on -account of insults offered to his wife before her marriage, whije having dentist work done. ' In St. Paul a rumor is current, that the TJ.
