Edward Ewald "school ques
tions broker" of San Francisco,
wis on Saturda' remanded to jail
until such time as he sees fit to
obtain his liberty by telling what
he knows about the questions
crookedness.
Reno, California, was reduced
to ashes on Sunday. Losses over
$1,000,000. A gale was blowing
from the west; and before water
;ould be got on the fire it was be
yond control. The flames leaped
froinlliouse to house and from block
to block. Panic-stricken, half
clothed people caught the most
valuable articles and left all else
to destruction. The firemen were
helpless. The fierceness of the
wind and the intensity of the heat
rendered it impossible to get close
enough to do airy good. In three
hours all the business part of the
town was in ashes, the only house
escaping being the Masonic build
ing. The fire only stopped when
all was destroyed. Reno is now a
suburb without a town, and great
fears are entertained as to its
ability to survive the shock.

A Cincinnati paper says that
a man named Dempsey left on the
"21 for California to engage a cargo
of Chinese, which he will work on
his air-line railroad contract, just
received.
The creditors of Archbishop
Prrcell began suit against him on

now stated to be over $6,000,000,
although at -first claimed to be only
$500,000.
j rive juceiiuiary iiius wciu
started in Columbus, Ohio, on
Sunday night, by pre-concerted
efforts on the part of thieves to
burn the eastern section of- the
city so as to plunder other sec
tions. A letter carrier who stole a
registered letter in St. Louis last
December, was arrested last Satur
day morning, confessed, pleaded
guilty, and was sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary, all with
in two hours. Nothing tardy about
that style of dispatching business.
It is not yet known whether
the body of A. T. Stewart has
been recovered. A long story is
told of a box resembling a coffin
having been lodged in the cathe
dral crypt at Garden city, but the
short of it is that the police au
thorities and Judge Hilton are re
ticent about the recovery of the
body.
The committee in charge of
the bill have recommended the in
sertion in the sundry civil appro
priation bill of an item of $5,000
for the continuation of boring of
an artesian well at Benicia, and
$20,000 for the protection of gov
ernment interests in Alaska, and
$20,000 for the improvement of
the military wagon road between
Scottsburg and camp Stewart, Ore
gfon.
In the opinion of the best in
formed of the appropriation com
mittees of both houses an extra
session is inevitable, and the pros
pects are that not only one or two
but probably all unfinished appro
priation bills will go over together.
JJfyis will, of course, necessitate the
convening of the next congress at
an early date, instead of in the fall,
as has been contemplated in the
events of the failure of only one.
M. Sebreakof, a wealthy and
patriotic Siberian merchant, is
having a steamer fitted out with a

and return to Europe by the route
discovered by Professor Xor
denskjoid. The expedition will
