of Brown county , in the council , nnd Picklcr ,
of Kaulk county , in tha house , pave notice 'o >
d y that on to-morrow they would introilu o
n bill for relocating the cr.pilol of Dakota.
It ia understood that tlia bills proposa locat
ing the capttol nt Pierro. William * , of Bis
marck , gave notiro of n memoiial a'klng con-
gceea to divide Dnknt . It now appeat-H that
the removal of the c\pitol to Pierre la practi
cally ngrci'd upcn by the majority of the couth
Dakota moaibars of the legislature. Some
who have been in the caucused from the begin
ning eay that the bill in not yet drawn , and
the point is not agreed upon , but that the
majority are detenuined tremove the capltol
even if they have to lemovoitto Jamestown
or oven to Mention , In order to got the votfs
from the north to help to do it , as a protest
njalnst the cipitol commission law. The
organic act of the territory , howovar , re
quires the concurrence cf the governor Iu the
location of tlia capitol. nnd if tha removal
aahomo has the majnrltv claimed the remit
will be governed by the action of the gover
nor. The intention of the most radical is to
lelocato the capltol. The subject in now open
nnd the members talk frtcly , but differ some
what in the statement as to tbolrstrength , and
nil ngreo tbat they have enough if the gove
nor will npprovo the bill.

Holdt , the train wrecker , was finished to-day.
A very able defense wna made by Brown and
Hoxie. Brown is always good and sound , but
Hoxio outdid himself. All that could bo done
from a legal point wai done by these gentle
men for tha prisoner. It wns their duty , nnd
that was enough. On the other hand , Russell
made clear the rquaro statements of facts , so
strong that no jury rould dnubt na to tho'r '
vcrd ct. Marshall closed with a strong com
mon-some plea , Eeldiin equalled. The jury
waa nn exceptional one , bting composed of
good , level-headed men. Tney wpro not out

f tlia As ociatod Picas tills evening :
J , S. Chrlceoii , of the DCS Molnes Iterator ,
, ad member of the national committco of the
cpubllcui i arty , i ftcr a great deal of goading
ind conference with hia friend J. B , McCul-
ougli , of the Globe-Democrat of Si. Louis ,
t la < t givoa to the public what ho calli tha
vidonco lo provo'I propoisi to Bull cut to the
opublicacs and thus betray the prohibition
isrty. In Clarlcscn's letter , published In the
Ihicaga Ttibuno on the Oth inet , , ho says ,
'To ' uiy knowledge ho did have overtures
made through a friend from hia own state ,
" > y which he offered , If paid § 23,000 ,
0 nsk to withdraw as n candidate altogether ,
r to Etny iu the field and "feather"
poeches ( ay it was put in .a Kansas
i-luaju ) , to the halp of the republicans. JUo
was asked , In order to prove the sincerity of
' IH ciler , to withdraw from Ohio the last week
> uforu tha October elections in that state. I In
id this under n plea , which ho Bkld ha would
give , of cottlng n sere throat , and with ths
"riend I have mentioned \vent fitat to Pitts-
urg , next to Philadelphia , and finally lo New
York , where ho hoped to meet aomo ono on
the part of the xopubltcan national committco
who would bo ready to make the deal and pay
, ho cash. " My appointments were inudo by
, ho national comtuitteo of the prohibitiou
party at Obicaro , September 18 , I tilled every
1 no of these nnd ono more , and those , who
_ , Uended my mooting will do me the justice to
aay that I didn't "feather" ' my speeches eith
er. Having thus completed my work in Ohio ,
without having a sere throat , in accotdanco
with the programme made for mo by the com
mittee , I proceeded on the morning ol October
17 , to CAdricn , Allili wheie t2p. m. tbat

in company with lion. D. B. Sa < endorf , of

hibitionuta. I started for my cost appoint'
ment at Kalambzoo , mnking eevoral aLert

ug at Knlamazoo , both afternoon and even-
ng. ITtom there I went witu other prohibi
tion workers bt Flint , Mich. , where at 2 p ,
in. , October Otli , I addressed n large open
air meeting , leaving them in the evening In
company with Hon. D Pieaton , prohibition
candidate for governor of Michigan , for De
troit , from which city at 12 o'clock that night
1 started via Buffalo to Philadelphia , arriving
thf ra about 'J o'clcck in the evening of th
10th. I spoke m the Academy of Mus'
, be evening of the lltli , nnd epuul
i good portion of thi day o
the 12th with 11. J. Burdettii at
Addinore , eight miles from the city. On the
evening of the 13th I addressed an open ai
mooting at Monument square , Baltimore , nni
then another meeting tha n JIHO evening in Kns
Baltimore. That night ati o'clock I started
for Brooklyn , where , on the evening of the
14tb , I apoko in the rink , the IDth at Middle

Massachusetts , the 17th at Cbickering lull
New York city , the 18th at Newark , Now Jer
soy. li'iom thenca I went to western Now
York , where I had eight meeting ? . Every ono
of the foregoing mottliigs being in stric
pursuance to the nppo'.n'.wiJiia ' in do
by the national prohibition committee
I have not been at , or passed through. Pittt
burg for years. Mr. George R. Scott , foremai
of the Now York Weekly Witness , joined me
at Oberliu , Ohio , October G , and traveled will
me and nt'euded all the meetings from tha
time up to and inc tiding the one at Newark
New JorsoyOatobjr 18 lla and no other as
quantance accompanied mo from Michigan to
Philadelphia , i or did I , mi the way , too any

Mr. Clarkson further says iu hia Tribune let
ter of the 19th : "I may add that neltbe
the national committee , or nny one acting for
it , over made an overture or proposition of any
kind to St. John. AU that 1 did was to 1 sten
aud discuss the overtures and propo itlons
mudu to ic , through the medium wh'ch ' bo
employed to r acrj it. " Yet , in the sama let
ter he convicts himself , for he eaya : "Ho
( mvtelf ) was n'ked , in order to prove tha sin
ceiity of bis olfer to withdraw from Ohio the
last week before the October election in thv
state. " Who wai there in this transaction to
doubtmy aiucvrity but J , S. Clarkson ? But ,
further on , be cays : "Tho thing * which were
demanded from tit. John as to his movements
in Ohio wore pledged by that friend and car-
riu I out by St. Jonn. Thrao parties aie bore
referred to lirjt , the party that made tie de

and third , myself , who "earned" it out , Now ,
I submit , that there muat have been aomebot y

Clarlison , and yet ho says tluttlt it ( the com.
initteo ) aid was to listen to and diiciiso the

Mr. Clarksod wai an hnneatman , why did no1

and proceeds to publish whit lie claims to bi

Ono of them had lo tie the bed clothes together

issuing from the floor immsdiatoly above the

smoke at once becarao drawn through thi hot

parts tf tlia building. The fire spread to
tapldly that all the efforts to save the buildIng -
Ing in the absence of n fira ulitm to summon
help nud for want of fucilitiea to quench tin
tinmen wcr found to bo In vflin. Attendant

Atttirlant Brown , who WAS sloooing ou the

attempted to sava a patient in , an
adjoining room and failed , and sliding
dowu n theet from his window , "jumped to the
ground. Superintendent 1 { . S. Dewey roaclud
tha eceuo and with a ladder climbed to tiie
eocond story windows nnd smashed thowin- _
aowd nnd was able to reecue some pati nm
thereby.Almost all the patients refused to
co-opsratejn , the efforts being made to eayo
them , and weio only rescued by
being ' dragged _ from the Ilames and
held frsm returning. A marvellous esc pj
was that of an inmate whn fell with the second
end floor , struck the burning debris abavo the
furnace and bounded throur/h n window to
the ground uninjured. The remains of the
Indies of twelve patients have bsen taken
from the ruins burned to fragments , only to
bo identified by the location in which they
were found.
At the coroaer's ino.uo3t this afternoon Su
perintendent Doivey testified that hn lind
asked the legislature two yejro ncio fnr ? { . ' )00
to protect these detached war.lit trom tire ,
tbat § 1,000 WAS allowed , all 01 which was used
iu mains und hydrants , that the amount was
insufficient to answer the purpose. He sug
gested that the floors above the hot air fur
naces bi changed , it being shown in the evi
dence that is wa * but four inches from tno
nutjido of the furnace to the joiits.
He gave two reasons for tlia great
number of deaths , first , tha
patients were nearly nil suffocated by the
smoke before they could bo reached and BCC-
end , the inab.llty oc unwilling csi of insane
patients to try and halp themselves. The re-
uiuins of the bodie ; , with one exception , did

The ontiiu remains of ten were placed on n

of the charred remains is heartrending. Tele-
grains are pouring In from nil parts of the
state from parties asking as to the safety of

The flamesr , when they- broke through thereof

hurrying of guarda and watchmen from nil of
thomaiu structures to the immediate vicinity
of tha fire , but for whoso nid the mortality
would have been greater. Seventeen of the
forty-five inmatai wnro stifled in the structure ,
filled from the first with n. stilling nndblinding
smoka , that filled all the avenues'of escape
and made the work of these who sought to
save tin bedridden and helpless hcrcic in thci
extreme. From the first it wai simply n
quo tion of removal as no appliance of any
kind was upon tlio ground to stay the flames.
The bells ot the city across the iivor began to
eound ( Ii3 alarm. When the flames wer-nt
their highest nn attempt was made to organize
for assistance , but the tragedy was complete
before nny help from that quarter could have
been inado effectual. Tlio nlmost naked es

arduous. Search wns made throughout the

proved a work ot great hardship in t low of

of nshoi , wcro placed upon a small table ,

any possibility of recognition. A coroner's in

that tlii fire originated trom too close proxim
