FROM WASHINGTON.
JUST1CK FOH SUTTLEIIS.
WASIIINOTOX , January -Decision
has boon rendered by the supreme
court in ten important test cases
from the supreme court of Iowa in
volving the title to a largo quantity of
land in the western part of that state.
The cases nro entitled ' 'Cedar ' Rapids it
Missouri River Company ut nl. , plaintilia
in error , against John T. Dr.\ko , Lewis
Iddings and eight other defendants in
error. " The land in controversy , which
consists largely of improved farms , is
claimed by the railroad company under
the act ot congress approved May ID ,
1850 , known as "Tho Iowa Railroad
Land Grant Act , " and amendment
thereto passed Juno 2 , 1801. It is
claimed by defendants in error ,
who are settlers in act
ual possession under patents from
the United States Issued atdifl'eront dates
between May , 1870 , and April,1874 , and
under homestead and private entries
inado between March 18(15 ( and January ,
1808. There are now pending in the
Iowa courts about 400 suits in which
substantially the same questions of title
are involved an these presented in the
ton cases brought hero for tmal decision.
In the supreme court of Iowa these ton
cases were all decided against the rail-
load company on the following grounds :
First That it ( the company ) wan enti
tled to six auctions of land , per milp of
constructed road of main or modified
line only , that is two hundred and sev
enty oao and six-tenth miles from Cedar
Rapids to Council Blull's , and was not entitled -
( titled to lands for the Lyons branch nor
for the Onawa branch.
Second That oven if the company had
not received all the land to which it was
entitled under the grant , it was not au
thorized to take the lands hero in con
troversy to supply the deficiency.
This decision of the supreme court of
Iowa was aflirmed by the United States
supreme court in all cases. This court
holds that defendants in error purchased
their lands from officers of the United
States who had power to sell them and
they acquired valid titles. If the rail
road company has been injured it was by
its own laxncss. If there u no land to
satisfy its demands it is because it de
layed over three j ears to file its map to
establish the line of its road , and for
years afterwards to make selections. It
is unwarrantable in the opinion of this
court to say that during all that tirno
these valuable lands wore to be kept out
of the market when the country was
rapidly filling up with an agricultural
population settling and making valuable
farms on them. The titles of the set
tlers in the ten cases before the court
are good and the judgments of the court
below sustaining thorn are affirmed.
TUB LA ADKA MINE AWAUI ) .
The supreme court to-day rendered a
decision in two La Abra mining cases.
These wore suits brought to obtain writs
of mandamus requiring the secretary oi
state to pay the relaters certain amounts
alleged to bo duo them from the install
ment of 1882 of the award made by the
international Mexican commission under
the treaty of July 4 , 1808. The secre
tary refused because President Arthur ,
having examined into the claims , be
lieved the awards wore obtained by
fraud ] ! and advised negotiating a treaty
with Mexico providing for a rehearing
[ this treaty is now pondinr/ the senate ]
and directing the instilment to bo with
held. The court holds that in thus deal
ing with a friendly government , the
United States is put on its honor and
must not resort to legal technicalities ,
that while the court does not undertake
to pass judgment in the matter of alleged
fraud , it nevertheless holds that it is
clearly within the authority of the chief
executive to withhold paymonU pending
a rehearing before a now commismon , and
renders judgment accordingly.
VIUOINIA'S courox'H.
The supreme court decides that the
caao brought against the state of Virginia
involving the right of a state to refuse to
take the coupons of its bonds in payment
for taxes , after issuing such bonds with
the promise that it would take thorn in
payment for taxes , ia a proper matter to
bo heard by the United States district
court , because it involves the act of the
legislature of a state which impairs the
validity of a contract , such act being a
violation of the constitution of the Uni
ted States. The case came up on an ap <
peal from the decision of the United
States circuit court , which remanded it
to the state court as a matter not of fed
eral jurisdiction.
CASH IN ADVANCE NOW ,
The chief justice announced a revision
and adoption of rules of practice in the
court. In this revision old numbon
have boon retained. The most import
ant changes made are as follows ; In rule
ton , by reason of want of appropriation !
by congress , parties will bo required
hereafter to pay in advance the cost oi
printing the record. In rule 20 provision -
ion is made for advancing cases once before
fore heard , and brought up by second
appeal on writ of error. Old rule 30 ,
concerning injunctions , and applicable
only to appeals before January lit , 1874 ,
lias been stricken out , as an obsolete ant
a now rule substituted embodying tin
settled practice of the court in rolutioi
to petitions for a rehearing.

mdor forfeitures of land grants mot to

cgulates with precision and detail the
oivcrs and jurisdiction functions of
ther countries where the United States

artiest attention of the state department
o the necessity of this legislation , which

A r 'SSIIILK ' WAR or RATKM.
CIUCAOO January 7. Uoprosuntalivoa
of Missour river roads to-day received a
telegram from CommissionerPiorson , ob
jecting toi Uniform commission ! ! on
through bj. sini'ss from the scaboaid to
Missouri ri or points as proposed , anel
expressing a desire for the adoption of
his propos tion that tickets bo sold
only by authorized agents of the com
panies. Hi ply was sent him that his
proposition is entirely unacceptable. It
is thought not improbable that a war of
rates may result , as lines running west
of the Misncliri river are inclined to re
sent what they claim to bo dictation by
the Ecaboard\trunk \ lines in regard to the
management bf western business.
TRYING jx > roitci : iwiiMNcnox.
The TraiiEcontineutal association moots
horo'Wednesuay for the purpose of con
sidering the application by lines affiliated
with the Union Pacific in the nevr associ-
tion for admission , and the Transconti
nental thus virtually transferring its
eastern terminus to that association from
the Missouri river to Chicago. The ob
ject of this move appears to bo to
strengthen the combination against the
Burlington road or force the latter into
a combination. The opinion seems to bo
hero that it will bo difficult to bring
about the proposed combination and that
it may result in breaking up the Trans
continental association , as it would in
volve the combination of the Central
Pacific with the now pool to the exclu
sion of the Burlington and involve the
Central in a war with the road with a
possibility of the Burlington building a
through line to the coast.
AX IXt'll ' KI2SERVii : > .
Ciiit'Afln , January 7 At a meeting of
the city council to night , the mayor pro-
sentea a communication to the effect
that ho hadin accordance with the coun
cil's order , a year or more a o completed
negotiations for the sale of the Illinois
Central and Michigan Central roads for
depot anel other railway purposes all that
portion of the lake front between Ran
dolph and Monroe streets east of the
east line of Michigan avenue and tc
within one inch of the lake sliorq
with a provision that this inch bo leased
at a nominal sum to the road for 01 ]
years with the privilege of renewal
for § 8,000,000. This matter has been in
an unsettled state for about twenty ypart
and has been appealed to the United
States courts and congress. It win
claimed that the sale of this property
would give the rends a complete monop
ly of the lake commerce of Chicago a :
soon as the government harbor is com
pleled and piers erected. The sale re
nioined in abeyance under an injunctioi
of the United States court , but the recent
cent death of lion. Thomas llayne
killed in a railway accident near Rochester
tor , removed the objector to a diosolu
tion of the injunction.

AN AWFUL KX1IU.MATIO.V.
ST. Louis , January 7. The following
extract from a description of the search
yesterday will convoy an idea of the
scene and the horrible nature of the
work : The bodies wore all near each
other , anel the mother superior's body
seemed to bo the center for the ghastly
circle of black remains. A bono
was picked up here , anel upon
being drawn came loose from
some particle of roosted flesh. Hero a
burned skull was found and there an
arm , while the trunks , burned to a solid
crisp , wore dug up immediately under
them. It was an awful exhumation
Afore than once the work faltered bo-
causa of the sickeninc sensation which
overcome the workmen. It seomeel that
the horrid heap would never bo exhumed ,
as every few minutes the report came
that now bodies had bouii taken out.
Shrodsof burned clothingchmgtothosick-
oning mass It was impossible almost to
find oridontity thobodies , the fiery fingers
of death having ell'acod every line , every
shane of countenance and form. The
bodies in some instances clung together
and the heap as it wan uncovered to the
eye was absolutely indisciibablo.
As Mary Jerome , the sister superior
of the convent was well known in many
parts of the country , the following brief
sketch will bo interesting. She had given
all her life to the service of the church ,
anel was known in girlhood as Barbara
Hull. She was born 41 years ago in
Pittsburg , her parents being wealthy and
her education progressed under the most
favorable circumstances. She passed
through an academic course of the sisters
of mercy at Baltimore , and entered the
convent of the Congregation of Notre
Dame , Milwaukee , when It ! yonrs of ago ,
as a novice. When her novitiate course
was completed , she was sent by the su
perioress to Now Orleans and remained
there a few years , being next assigned
to Bollvillo in 185 ! ) us superioress of the
now convent and academy of notre dame
society. In its early history the convent
wan full of difficulties , but they were
overcome by the business tact and intel
ligent direction of the young superioress.
From limo to time the house was enlarg
ed , costing in all about $80,000. It was
the principal convent of the society and
nearly all the debt had boon removed by
the wise management of Mother Jerome.
In addition to the largo convent at Bollo-
villc , Mother Jerome founded several
other houses of the society ia sourthcrn
Illinois.
The sorrow will bo limitless. She was
the most useful and amiable woman and
beloved by every one who knew hor.
When the lire was raging she might have
saved herself , being in 'the dormitory ,
from which all escaped save hor. When
the others descended the ladder to safety
her thought and action vras to save the
lives of the children entrusted toiler care.
Her self imposed task was fruitless for
all communication between the dormito
ry of the nisters and the dormitory of the
children was cut off by the flames and
suffocating pmoko , and she perished in
her heroic efforts. *
A reporter just from Belleville this
evening says the search for _ bodies was
resumed about 11 o'clock this morning ,
but up to the time ho loft little progress
had been made , lie states that fourteen
instead of cloven bodies wore taken out
yesterday , but none wore identified ex
cepting these named in those dispatches
last night. To-day only two backbones ,
a hand and a few small bones were dis
covered , mid no moro identifications
made. An inquest began this morning ,
and several witnesses wcro examined.
The remains of Mary Campbell and Miss
Wei in or were brought to this city this
afternoon.
The reporters who returned from
Bullovillo to-night state that the search
in the ruins continued till 4 p. in , that
what was supposed to bo the remains of
nix additional bodies was recovered , but
the remnants are no indefinite in charac
ter that it is difficult , if not impossible ,
to determine whether they represent BU
or some other number of persons. One ol
these in Hiipposod to bo Sister Angelia ,
another Emma Stack , of Carbondale ,
111. , and still another Minnie Barley , oi
Mary Bartols , the latter of Wostfalia ,
111. Two more of these found yostord j
were identified as Laura Thompson and
Amelia Leonard. It is not difinitolj
known how many more are missing , mil
the search will bo kept up till all the
ruins are dug over.
The inquest continued this afternoon ,
and after examination of a do/.en wit
nesses adjourned till to-morrow. Tin
funeral of the victims will probably ocr
cur to-morrow ,
