Livinu'ston , of Craxvford , DawcR county , was tried in tbo United otates district court to-day for suiidinjj obsconu lit erature through the mails. The bill of indict ment was found iignlnst him during last flprin 'H session of the court nt Omaha. It seems that Livingston , about n year IIRO , commenced n corri'spondi'iieo with Miss Mary T. Glllcspie , who then resided at Chad- ron , and in the lunguago of tbo girl's fattier , "lie was decent in bis letter writing for some time , but llnally grew indecent , and mailed her n poem entitled 'The Sailor Hoy' Unit was so loud tlmt I could not stand it. 13y tlio way , 1 accidentally found tbo poem , and in Justice to my daughter and myself , deter mined to prosecute- him for sending obsueno matter through the mails. " Tins , it seems , is the case in n nut shell. Tlio girl was but fourteen years old when she re ceived the letter containing the pooni , and from tbo story 01 the father , ho Bought to protect her from any further lircaUs of the iclml. The case occupied the attention of the court during tbo entire forenoon. The Jury , however , has not yet reached n decision iu the case , but the Impression is strong that Livingston ought to bo found guilty. The poem was rank. Hurtles vs. Gilford and Ucsliler vs. Suitor , cases given to tbo Jury yesterday at noon , are still undecided. They Involve the title to n homestead near Republican CLy , Har- hin county. The jury has now been out over twenty-four hours. Seaton & Leo vs. Trowbridge , involving thorniest ion of the sale of some mill ma- chinorv , was called this afternoon , and will probably take the time of the court until night.

[ Special Telegram to TIIK Hun. ] An intimate friend of General Harrison says that part of hla Inaugural ad dress , relative to the .southern question , has boon completed for several days and it is un derstood by a few of his friends what his ideas arc. Ho has said , mid will probably say ia his address , that ho regards tlio bottom tom principle of government as control by a majority. Everything else about govern ment is mcro ornamentation. He thiims the equality of the ballot demands that the ap portionments in states tor legislative purposes should bo so adjusted that iu the influence ami power of every elector there shall be equality. Hshould not bo true anywhere , ho said , that , one man may count for two or ono and a half , wiiilo some other man counts only one-half. When such a condition ex ists in government by a majority , ex pressed by a frco and equal ballot , tlio gov ernment is not only threatened , but It has been overturned. Hut for the fact that the workiugincn of the south have been deprived of their influence in choosing representatives there would have been no question as to the security of the principles of protection. General Harrison's feelings toward the south are of the kindest nature , and ho says it is his desire that her streams of prosperity snail bo full , The question does not relate simply to the south. It 1ms become national , and it is impartant that there should bo leg islative remedies , which must bo enforced , but not in a spirit of enmity. Interesting ; AVheat Statistics. . ST.

The well known Meyer building , on the northwest corner of Eleventh and Farnam , and the goods of the various occupants wcro almost totally destroyed by lire Wed nesday night. The total Joss is estimated at upwards of $50,030. A row minutes after 10 o'clock a number of gentlemen on the opposite side of the street discovered a black cloud of smoke Issuing from the rear of the store occupied by Sol Scllginan with n sloric of paintings , engravings and novelties , valued at about 130,000. An alarm was Immediately turned In from bouse No. " , and in a few minutes the entire force was on the ground nud at work. In the meantime , however , Humes had licked up the Inllumnblo ma terial and wcro raging with Incredible fury. To make matters worse some one had Incon siderately kicked in tlio front door , and fed by the draught the Humes shot fiercely up from the front and roar , and iu a few min utes had spread throughout the entire build ing.The The scene , though ono of terror , was inns- nlllceut. Volumes of smoke lurid with the light of the Humes , rolled across the sky ; a dense throng of excited humanity surged and swayed in the adjoining streets : long tongues ot llamcs shot viciously out tram the windows ; a dozen sttcams of water poured from all directions upon the ( lames ; llrcmcn , like so many lire demons , hacked at the windows dews , darted up their ladders or trailed their long lines of hose to and fro umid the smoke. The roaring of the ilames , the hissing of the water , the snapping of breaking glass , the hoarse cries of the speaking trumpets nil combined to produce a spectacle of the most intense excitement , A gallant attempt was made by the llrst company on the ground to direct a stream upon the source of the llame through the main entrance but the smolcc overcame them and ono after another the firemen fell back exhausted and bleeding with cuts from fall ing glass. The members ol the hook nud ladder companies who had scaled the build ing were beaten brtclc with blistered faces and bands and others rushed manfully to their places. The second and third stories of the store in the west cud of the building were filled with straw and felt goods belonging to the hat llrmpf Dnrrow & Logan , and which burned like so much tinder. It was not till all but the brick walls had been devoured by the flames that the lire was subdued , though the entire battle was fought in less than tin hour nnd a half. Fortunately no lives were lost , though a Mr , Lellingor , ono of Max Meyer's piano movers , made u rather sensational escape in his bare feet. The entire fire department was in active service tloing magnificent woric , and receiv ing frequent cheers from tlio crowd. Tlio block was built by Max Meyer In 1878 , and additions have been made from time to time tit a total cost of $55,000. It was occu pied for a nuniDcr of years by the firms of Max Meyer & Co , and Max Meyer & Bro. , until their removal to the Paxton block. They tbon re-lot it , occupying ono of the stores themselves for the sale of cigars and tobacco and reserving the second floor , over the novelty store , for the storage of pianos , of which there wcro six on hand last night , valued at $ ! ,000. Uesidos these , there was a pipe organ worth $1,000 , which the Meyers had but recently sold to the Kcv. Mr. Holton of the Swedish church now in course of erection. Whom this loss will fall upon is yet to be determined. Insurance on the building was placed as follows : Commercial Union , London $ 1,000 lioyul , Livornool 5,000 Springfield , Mass 2,500 Imperial.

Pat McGuIre was blown against n window and his bund badly out. Martin Mulvihlll's hut and coat were al most entirely consumed and hU hair burnt close to his head , yet he came out of the flames unhurt , The Ilremcn think the fire originated in the novelty storo. PIpeman McCuno had a finger cut off by falling glass. He had the injury attended to and reported for work Immediately after wards. The chief sent him homo. There wcro several valuable game chick ens in a shed at the roar of the burning structure. When the lire was put out they could not bo found. Flro Reporter Deles Beard went to the residence of Max Mryor and also to that of Adolph Meyer to summon them. Ho found that they were at a party at the residence of E.V. . Nash , near Mercer avenue , and ho telephoned them about/ the conflagration. Ho also notified P. Boyer , the safe man , whoso store adjoins the Muyor building on the east , nnd succeeded in bringing him to thu scono. G.

Sol Sollginun. of the Paris novelty store , who boards at the Windsor , was'disturbed in his slumbers by the cry of lire. Ho was HO excited , thinking the hotel was on lire , that he'attempted to jump out of tlio third-story window. Ho was soon brought to his Reuses by being Informed that his stock on Farnum street was burning and quickly appeared on the scone , "Spud Fnrrish" hearing that there was a powder magazine iu the .burning building , went In search. Ho found an iron box'and attempted to remove It. Ho drugged it through the flames out Into the yard , where It slipped upon the leu and knocked "Spud1' ' against the door , Injuring his hand and ills. locating Ills shoulder. "Spud" then at tempted to release the two horses of Max Meyer , which were In the barn at the rear of the building. A bull dog tore his pants , but ho released the horses and sent them towards Florence. During the remainder of the lire "Spud" worked with one arm in a sling , , The loss is very heavy on Darrow & Logan , the youug merchants who hud just started In business on their own responsibility with tlio most flattering of prospects. Their stock was worth US.OOO. They report over . $1,000 in fixing the stand up ready for busi ness and had nearly $0,000 worth of orders to bo filled between February 1ft and Muroh 1'They will open another establishment soon and nil ITiedo orders will bo fitted.

Now York Herald : A stylishly dressed and rather dudish appearing young man called upoir Superintendent Amos Hllsbury , of the Maine Central machine shops and locomotive works at Watorvillo , a few days iigo and asked that ho be given employment as an apprentice in the shops , as ho wished to gain a complete practical knowledge of locomotive building and repairing. The superintendent started back com pletely thunderstruck , as he recognized in the applicant that somowhnt noted young man .lames O. niuino. jr. Young Blaine has been at his fitthor's house iu Augusta over since the trouble with his wife four or five months ago , with no employment. The cause of his sua- dcn start in this direction is not appar ent , but from his enthusiasm it is quite likely that it is his own little project. During the interview which followed 'his application the superintendent took him into the bluclc and smoky shops , pointed out the oil begrimed employes and endeavored in every way to dis courage him. But the young man was not to bo discouraged and it was finally agreed that ho should commence work on Monday noxt. Just how long Jimmy will remain a machinist's shop appren tice is not known , but it i-j pretty safe to say that he will end his labors just as soon as some now whim takes possession of him. Saved Prom Hungry Rats. Now York Times : Owing to the Tioavy rains of latewater rats have been driven to seek refuge in barns , out houses , or whoreevor they could lind shelter from the pelting rain and resist less torrents. A great regiment of hun gry-looking rodents that make their homo along the banks of the Delaware and Hudson canal sought refuge ono day recently in an outhouse adjoining the promises of man named Simpson , who resides north of Ellonvillo , N. Y. , on a knoll close by where a landslide oc curred some time ago. Becoming hungry , the rats left the outhouse , and , bodily invading the dwelling , attacked a babe that wns lying asleep in a cradle. The mother rushed to the infant and tried to drlvo off the fero cious rats , when they at once liorcoly \ I. . V n. > * n.i i , CREAM ICE'S 1. I.L I.I DELICIOUS I , I. I.t. . 1.

I made peed use of my whip , watching meanwhile to see that nothing was in danger of ignit ing from the coals that wore scattered lavishly about. Ono gray veteran re ' turned' over anil over again to the charge , but I finally gave him such a cut with my whip that ho , too , disap peared to return no more. Both mother and bubo wore severely bitten and scratched. The wounds bled profusely , but no serious results have followed thus fnr. Marcus Mnycr Mnkcs KnstTime. New York Times : ' Mr. Mayor made the fastest time on record from the City of Mexico to Now York , coining to Now York in exactly four days and twoaty- thrco hours , thus winning a bet of $200. Of course , only so experienced a trav eler as Marcus R. Mayor could count on the closest connections , and had the train boon twenty minutes late the bet would have been the other way , Said Mr. Mayor : "I loft the City of Mexico Monday afternoon on the Moxicano Niicionnle , the now line opened about six weeks ago to St. Louis , via Laredo , on the In ternational & Great Northern railroad and Iron Mountain , ami thence via the Pennsylvania to Now York , making the journey within the time mentioned in the not , .and with twenty minutes to spare. Besides this the train was an hour and a half late at Laredo , but it was made up beyond that station , and ono hour and a half late in Pittsburg , which , luckily for me , was made up be- lore reaching Ilarrisburg. Thus the journey of 8,000 miles , made with the closest connections , consumed just 119 hours. " * Clilokcn Hun l. on llronlway. New York Times : R. Moses , a peddler of poultry , was driving through Broadway early "ono afternoon when , at Ann street , a crate of chickens hrolco open and half a dozen fowls Hew from his wagon to the ground , in among the pedestrians , vehicles , horses , street cars , and hucksters' stands that crowd the streets nt that point. In an instant thofitrcotwas in an uproar. A loud- voiced Englishman shouted : "W'cro was Moses w'cn the 'ens lit hout ? " The peddler's attention was attracted to his loss , and ho became in an instant quite as frantic as any of the long-necked , open-mouthed hens that wore now strid ing and racing around in vain endeavor to elude the grasp of the ubiquitous newsboy. For about throe minutes the excite ment was intense. It was impossible that the chickens should escape capture with such a crowd of pursuers , but they wore not seen near the wagon , and when three had boon returned to him Moses gave up the hunt for the others , which will probably figure with impos ing prominence upon the newsboys' dinner table. * " * " ° ? rS 1 * S- % Snc ?
