in. the alarm of tire was bounded. A lire originated somehow in the workshop of John Gross tV Son, and because the nature of the material, the paints and oils, the whole place was in a blaze in instant, llie lences, outhouses and sta- bles adjoining on the east contributed to a lively flame. The fire crossed the alley northward and wholly destroyed the ware room of C. F.

Ziegler and almost the entire contents, consisting of a very large stock of wagons, carrinpes and agricultural implements. It was a very threatening lire and the fire company was very prompt, and did effective work. A telephone message was sent to Kiley for the government steamer, and in less than an hour it was on the ground and playing on the fire. Ziegter's wagons and machinery were not all destroyed, but the inside of his warehouse is a wonderful wreck.

The stone work on the different buildings will be completed about June 10. Mr.

Griese, who has the contract for re-j pairs at the cemetery, will begin operations as soon as the stone work on the new bar- racks is completed. Owing to lack of material, the completion of the sewerage system has been postponed until new supplies arrive. Target practice was commenced last week at the diflerent ranges, and the boys are all striving for a marksmanship. A sad accident happened this morning in the ditch dug for sewer purpose, at the west side of the post. Between 9 ami o'clock James A.

Dentrick was working in a manhole about fifteen feet deep, when the two sides of the ditch caved in, covering him under at least two tons of sand. It took 2o minutes before his head and face could be brought to the air, and then, death had already occurred by asphyxia as stated by Dr. llorton.

The national game is in favor at I fords, coming on two adjoining (lays, will gather the greatest number of buyers ever brought to this neighborhood, affording buyers the unusual opportunity of picking; from two of the best herds in the country, The Breeder's Gazette thus speaks of Hig-1 inbotham's animals: Owing to the untiring efforts and excellent judgment of its proprietor the Jilue Valley herd of Shorthorn cattle, owned by Mr. Vm.

Higinbotham, of Manhattan, has gone rapidly to the front and now stands in the foremost rank of the great Shorthorn establishments of the West. Many well-deserved honors have fallen t. the herd in a number of the principal show-yard contests of late years, and nearly every instance the laurels have been won over strong fields. With all this, however, many our readers are familiar, but we repeat the facts that those who have recently joined the Gazette family may have some idea of the excellence of the herd from which has been drafted some forty head of cattle that are to constitute the fifth annual otlering to sold at auction at Manhattan on Tuesday, May 17. In company with Col.

S. A. Sawyer, the well-known auctioneer, the writer spent a pleasant afternoon at the I'due Valley corrals near Manhattan, the winter quarters of the herd, and before entering upon a review of the sale cattle we cannot refrain from speaking of the very general excellence the animals found in the extensive yards and stables on the place. We found Itouble Gloster surrounded by some two dozen young calves, nearly every one possessing in a marked degree many of the most excellent qualities for which Double Gloster is noted. He is a wonderfullv good dispositioned bull and submitted kindly to a careful examination by the visitors, all the while evincing evident knowledge ot Ins superiority.

Being placed on the scales it was ioiind that his present working order he tipped the beam at carrving Ins smooth, broad-backed, evenly-moulded body close to the ground and possessing in his make-up about ail that could be desired in a sire ami show bull. In both capacities he has made first-class record. The bull is so well known to our readers that it is probably unnecessary to add that he was bred by Mr. Amos (Jruickshank at Sittyton, Scotland, imported in the fall of 1883, and placed at the head of the Blue Valley herd in April, 1884. He is of the Duchess ot Gloster sort, sired by Barmpton the sire of the Lin-wood bull Ilaron Victor out of iMth Duchess of Gloster bv Lord of the Isles (40lil8).

In his duties Double Gloster ably assisted by his oldest son, Grand Duke of Gloster 691)37, a red of March DJ, 1885, having for dam the tine old show cow Kox-anna's Hose 2d, a Josephine by the Vanme-ter Mary bull Rose Duke 2d. Grand Duke was shown quite successfully last full, and since his return to stud duty has managed to make a splendid growth, weighing in only ordinary flesh 1,840 lbs. Among the calves in the bull lot were several deserving of special mention, and would space permit we should be glad to comment on each individually. The queen of the group, however, is Double Gloster's live-month-old daughter of the imp. 27th Duchess of Gloster, one of the Cruickshank matrons of the herd.

A bunch of older heifers were found in another lot, some half dozen of which, ranging in age from fifteen to twenty montlu, are of the sort from which prize winners are made, and our friends may be certain of finding them in the show rings next fall. The 9 th Grand Duchess of Gloster bv Double Gloster, calved Get. I 1885, tops the lot. She is a beautiful redroan, and for symmetry, style, and finish, is certainly hard to surpass. She is of the Cruickshank pattern and weighs now 1,105 lbs.

The breeding cows, some fifty in uuiubcr, next claimed our at tention, and we con la easily (ill a page were we to attempt to mention the many tine animals to he found in the herd. Suffice it to say that the proprietor has succeeded well in lus ellort to get together an extra herd of cows. Twenty-five females have been catalogueil for the sale, nearly oil of which are young cowb and heifers. Xo. 1 in a Jtose- mary ol Aug.

Cherry Pie bv Lord of the rsorth have been listed, all of which are strong, crowthv cattle, having good size and lots ot substance, and just the sort of cows to raise healthy calves. Lorn Hereford 1M is a dark red Amelia heifer, a perfect chunk on short legs, and is really one of Ihe best things of the lot.

Ladv Bracelet, also a red of April 18, by the 2d Duke of Newham is a straight, neat heifer with style and finish. Two daughters of the ti'Jd Duke of Amine l(iOU3 should not he overlooked. The hrst, Airdrie's Straphina, a large, strong, evenly-built Sanspariel cow weighing 1,800 and the other a descendant of imp. Lavhiia, also of good size and possessing much constitution. Beauty's Pride is a Miss Severs by Karl of Sharon 41047, a Kose of Sharon bull of" Uncle AbeV breeding, and is individually a nice, straight heifer of good quality.

Oxford Myrtle 7th is a red-roan of Nov. "11, 1880, was bred at Durham Park and sired bv the Wood burn bull JH(h Duke of by the $10,000 7th Duke of Oneida lOoti. She also has good size and is really of the good, steady old matronly sort that drops calves every year. No. 25 is Double tiloster's contribute lo the female list, and she is unquestionable one of the plums of the catalogue.

She is a descendant of the good old Mrx. Motte sort and will make a graud cow. Fourteen young hulls will go forward in most excellent lix, eigl.t of which are sons of Gloster and all but three bred at Illue Valley. They relied credit on their Bires, being of geueral good character. Nob.

Following came a Josephine, a Kosemary, a Subilee, Sanspareil, and a Carnation, each one if which are strong, sappy fellows and in just the shape logo out and do good service on any farmer's herd. The 12th Grand Duke of Gloster is a red with little white, and he is certainly a good one, being blocky, with good crops, back, and loin, and carrying his meat well down on the quarters. As his name denotes he was sired by Double Gloster and has for a dam the lanthe cow Hose Acklam, bred by John Gilford and sired by the Hose of Sharon hull bth Duke ol Ackmin Another excellent son of Gloster's is a Kose mary, the Kfth Grand Duke, and, in fact, the whole lot are worthy of special notice. The three-year-old Rosemary bull Matchless although not catalogued, will also be included in the sale, lie is of good size and style, and being "all red" will doubtless be "wanted."

Deatnck, who was. killed at Fort Kiley, Monday, by the caving in of the sewer trench, was buried in the evening in the military cemetery at the rort. Ihe ac cident occurred at 9:30 in the morning, and he was covered with about six feet of earth.

There were no bones broken. Those who went to his relief got his head uncovered in thirty minutes but the sand caved in so ra pidly that they did not get him out until one o'clock. He was found in a position as though he was running. He fixed the supports to the earth himself, and he was confident it was secure. Two other men were working with him, but they were some feet off and one had his foot caught in the falling ground.

Yesterday aftomoon Judge Shepard rendered his decision in the motion made by State's Attorney Wrinnell to quash the venire of jurors called in the 'boodle" cases, holding that it was not the intention of the legislators who enacted the statute that it should be strictly com plied with.

It would be next to impossible to go over the jury list every time there was uu election, and that would be the only way in which it couid be strictly determine! just what proportion of jurors were legal voters.

The Panhandle railroad robbery cases were token up in the criminal court yesterday morning, Judge Kwing presiding. The lirst case was thai of William T. Lavolle, a brake-man. The prosecution produced witnesses from Philadelphia, Denison, Pittsburg, and Penrod, and traced goods shipped from the former place to a "fence" estub- -lished in this city, established by the detectives for the purpose of entrapping the thieves. Allen, who ran the "fence," testified that Lavelle had sold to him a large lot of goods, which 1m acknowledged that he had taken from a freight car.

The goods were afterward identified as the property of a tlrm in Kentucky. THAT SERMON. Chicago, May 10.

Tnrlitiit Specimen) of the Trlbfl Who Hats ltn Kncountereil hy Kverr llody. The country is full of cranks who would break their necks at any time to catch the latest slansr phrase, says a writer in the Ht. Louis Not going back more than four years, it is sale to say that millions of the most precious hours of lifo have been spout on "cheese it;" "don't you forget "pone up the spout;" "I should smile-;" "let her go, Gallagher," etc.

Song cranks make the cultivation of slang phrases half the study of their lives, and are overwhelmed with shame and mortiilcation if they find themselves tardy in getting hold of the latest gag. The use of slang to them is considered a i luxury beyond price. The bao-ball crank is he who neglects his businoss to familiarize himself witli all the various technicalities of the game. Turn one of these fellows loose, and he'll impress you with the belief that he's talking in an unknown tongue. The front door of the lunatic asylum alwuys standsopen torthe 1 fellow who is clean gone on base-ball.

A gallon of from the petrifaction of Lot's wifo would save him. The melancholy visage of the crank who always apprehending some terrible disaster, is a subject of pity. There' going to be a financial crisis, the yellow fever or the cholera will surely visit us this year and fill our grave-yards to over-rt owing-; every thing indicates war the whole world is standing on a volcano that nay touch itself off at any moment and and hurricanes, which sweep off whole communities without a moment's warning. To this specimen of crankism, an earthquake is a godsend, and the cremation of forty or fifty people in a hotel, or tho destruction of an equal number in a railroad accident, is a picnic. is observed that he generally ends his life by committing suicide.

The weather crank exists everywhere, Ho tells you that its raining, snowing or blowing, when you know as much about it as he docs. Ue sees the sun when it sets, the moon when it rises, and never fails to turn his wcathcr-gazo to suit the phenom- 1 ena that accompany the circumstances. fie informs you where it is hot and where it is cold, and if none but he made use of I their eyes it is hard to see how the world could move without him. It would be a great blessing to the traveling public If the railroads would lire out or compel to ride in the caboose the crank who insists upon doing all the talking on tho train. He considers it his duty to ride in the ladies' car, and the subject which he discusses invariably pertains to his own business, and because he's 1 interested, all others certainly ought to be.

He's so well known that ho looks upon those who regard him as a stranger with an air of charity truly pitying and wonders where such stupid people could have been born. With a sickly sentimentality sluggishly moving over his face, now and then drop- ping out of his eyes, and always playing 1 tho role of chief guard to the little brain with which nature has endowed htm, is the crauk who Is clean gone on Italian or 1 Kronen opora, and would spend fifty dol- lars of his father's money any night for a box where no might drink in the sweet strains that How from tho throat of a Patti, or any star who sings in a foreign tongue. He dou'tundorstand a word that is uttered, and that is the very reason why he's so awfully delighted. And he will talk to you about the "wonderful strains, the startling situations and the grand stage effects" for weeks after, if' you'll permit him. Should this crank be taken sick, though the disease might bo nothing more dangerous than the moasles, no sensible doctor would ever think of curing him with any other kind of inMi-cine than French, Italian or Gonna1 music, administered in mild doses.
