of the city, and with a high wind prevad
ftiir. the fire threatened from the beginning
to make a disastrous conflagration.
The lire department responded jiromptlj
and its members perfonned licroic work in
their daring battle with tho flames. The
Burnet House guests were awakened ami
gathered at the windows facing the tier)
furnace, where they watched its progress,
not without apprehension, but without
panic
The lire department guarded effcctually

buildings.
About 1 o'clock the floors gave way, with

It.iw Senator Sherman MaliiU the Wort)
and Work.
W.VsiiiM.Tox, Nov. 20. "Evideutl) the
weight of the campaign which culminated
at the lieginnlng of this montli did not fall J
as hard upon the shoulders of the otatesnicn '
and politicians who participated in it as
campaigns usually do," said an employe at
theeapitol. "Thev look fresh and health),
ami most of them are in good spirits. 1 1
never yaw "senator Sherman looking so
well. Ills face full ami ruddy and bis step
as elastic as niteen )ears ago. I do believe ,
that that man has more vitality
about him than an) one I ever saw of his
slender build. 3Ien who have campaigned
with him s) he can go night and day with
out regular meals or sleep, through rain and
snow, and be as cheerful and hearty as if he
was in sunshine. lie has a way ot adjust
ing himself to the surroundings and keeping
up his spirits which is admirable.
"C'encral Haw ley, who was looking pale
and worn when congress adjourned, is full
of vigor again. A letter from an Indianian
says that "senator Harrison came out of his
j wonderful campaign stronger mentally and
phv sically than before lie entered it The
same news comes from Senator Van Wyck,
the vigorous statesman tiom Nebraska. He
is another man who nglits remarkabi) well,
aim is capame 01 sunning great w ear ami
tear.
.loll) ssrnanir rainier, of 3Iichigan, 1
goes about humming little ditties with the
same n nchalence tliat alw a) s characterizes
him and makes people so proud of his com
pany. "Hut 3Ir. Itandal! does not look well,"
continued the statesman connoisseur, "and
I sometimes fear his health is failing him
rapidly. He looks thin and white-faced,
and his gout troubles him a great deal. 3Ir.
Springer also appears jaded. But Beriah
Wilknis. of Ohio, and Ben Butterworth. of
the same state, flash up like diamonds. The I
campaign seems to have agreed splendidly 1
with both of them. I hear that Mr. Hewitt
is m better health than lie has been for
sTune time, and that Samuel Cox will come
back as bright as a dollar."
TURNER'S PLAN
l'or Uie Itrurtil of the Cttloretf Itare Iro
iosst strttlniirnt la Mliirl.
St. I.oris, Nov. 20. Bev. J. 3Iilton
Turner, the well-known colored politician,
in an interview, sa)s he has becoiueeon
v mm! that the tune has come for the col
ored people to seek some other means than
ihi1iI.cs for the betterment of their condi
tion. He believes that the negroes must
be redistributed throughout the country,
ami has a plan for the formation of a
colony in Missouri, in Butler county. In
that county Charles P. Choteau has set
aside -fawioacr of fertile, heavlIywo.Kled
laud. Located in the vicinity are Mwu.ills
representing inv estnients of f 100,000. l'ur-!
x chasers of homer, w ill be paid 05 cents per
thousand for cutting logs on their own
lauds, 1 U cents per foot for cutting and
i peeling piles, and ten cents each for mak-
ing railroad ties. The lands are to be sold
tor from S3 to 20 per acre, all timber ex-
cept w hat is needed for fencing and build-
ling being reserved, one-third of the pur
j chase money to be paid in cash w hen a deed
'tti'i lie given and the purchaser to give
I notes bearing s per cent interest for the
I balance. Where th purchaser cau not pay
olio-third down, he may pay what he likes
and immediately occup) the land but
deed will be given until the third is
id.
Cancnters will at once begin the erection
ten or liftccn houses, but after settlers
begin to arrive In numbers they w III build
their own. Already there are several actual
settlers, and 3Ir. Turner is conndent the
scheme will prove a great blessing to the
iiuoicd race.
THE DAKOTA QUESTION.
A llelief tlint the Territory XVtll Yet Oet
IiiHtlce.
Washington-, Nov. 20. Dakntans who
have been In Washington since their recent
elections, have expressed the belief that the
t.mt'ir) will soon Ik' divided, and that at
least the southern half admitted to state
hood. They look uikiii the vote cast in all
parts of Dakota is the strongest possible
t valence of an almost universal desire for
division and statehood, ami state that it
will now be an absolute waste of time to
nave an eus-i ion i) ucicuhimc ii (jursiiou
relating to statehood, as the issues were so
dciinitely drawn in the recent canvas as to
make the wish of the jeop!e plain to everv
boilv . Wherev er opjMiiients of div ision ami
statehood were candidates they were
overwhelmingly defeated b) friends of the
cause.
i (.ovcnior Pierce of Dakota has been in
; the cit) lor a tew dav s consulting the presi
dent and other officials about affairs of his
I dominion, and to jour correondent ex
presedthe belief that Dakota willjirevial
in the house and her cause be favored as
i soon as the measure can be given a fair
' lietnug. Although (lovernor Pierce lives in
, the loraht) liearing the most anient opjK
isition to lie found against division and
I statdiood, he is an advocate of both prop
' ositions and tielieves the wish of the jieople
as expressed on me -jit insi. ai tne jkiiis
ought to be recognized. He is inclined to
the belief that the pro-iositiou will not now
find siirh stem democratic opposition as it
has encountt red in the past.

The school board met iu special session
last night for the purpose of opening bids
for tho school building on Fair street. This
building is for a separate school for the col
ored children, and Is not the child of the
republican wing of the lioard. hence not one
of tlieui was present at the meeting. For a
long time it looked extremely doubtful
whether the friends of the measure would
rail) iu suflicient numbers to make a ipio

couple of juemliers and fairly dragging hi
the democratic member from the Fifth
ward that a quorum was finally secured.
At seen minutes liefore nine o'clock
Ii evident l.oreiiz called the members to

Boss A Huilinger's bid was endorsed
"for all or none," ditto Weshenfclder's.
Gorman said "no excavation without foun
dation," and "no sandstone without brick."
Peet fc Co. and Smith each endorsed on the
single Item bids, "for ail bid on or none."
But without such endorsement it is not con
sidered allow able to separate bids for labor
ami material on any item.
There is really but one full bid for the
entire work, that of Boss & Hullincer.
Weshenfelder left out cut freestone. With
that item out the latter bid is SOU higher
than the former. Combining the bids of
Gorman, Darst J. II. Hullincer and
Peet .t Co., which are the lowest in
their several lines, the total is S5.11S.25.
But this makes no provision for painting,
slate or tin work on which there were no
separate bids. Taking these Items from
the bids of Bos Jk HuIIlnger (which the),
of coure, would not be obliged to agree
to), amounting to S7t0, and adding to the
total given above makes S5.S7S.25, which
would be a remarkabi) low figure.
The bids were referred to the building
committee for examination, aud it is ex
M'cted the) will be ready to report at the
regular meeting next Monday night. The
board thereupon promptly adjourned, hav

The bnlllaiitly-dei orated new hall of the
Excelsior Society, of Wittenberg college,
was dedicated ) esterdav afternoon, and the
occasion was a "red-letter" da) 111 the hts
tor) 0 the society. The new hall is located
on the south side of the third floor of the
new Wittenberg, and was completely filled
with active and ex-active Excelsiors, Plillo-
sojiluans, and Euterpiatis (the new ladles"
society recentl) organized) and friends of
the Excelsiors and the institution gener
ally. The hall has been elegantly pajiered and
decorated and tinely carietsl with velvet
Brussels. Upon the walls are hung large
pictures of Bev. Drs. Keller. Sprecher and
Helwig, all ex-presidents of the college, be
sides smaller ones of the Excelsior
alumni.
An interesting programme was prepared
ami creditably rendered. A fter a song bv
the choir under the leadership of Prof.
Davidson, prajer was offered by Bev. J.
B. Helwig, D. I). Fred G. t.otwald, on be
half of the Excelsior society, then wel
comed the Plnlos., Euterpians and other
visitors present, in a very appropriate
speech. 3Iiss Esther Crawford responded
for the Euterpians in a v er) neat manner,
referring kindlj to the brother societies and
speaking of the possibilities or the ladies'
society recently organized.
J. s. Simon next n-s)oiiiled in his usual
masterly way in behalf of the Philosophian
society, of whl.'h he is president He
mentioned the kindly feeling now existing
between the societies and urged that vv ith
their new sister the) should press forvv ard
iu the work of iiterar) culture.
3Iiss Jessie Wolf sang "The Flower
Girl" in a delightful minner, and was
heartily applauded. 3Iiss liene Spangler
rendered a beautiful piano solo, and was so
loudly applauded that she was compelled to
rise and acknowledge the compliment
The president 3Ir. Krout introduced
Bev. Daniel SVhhiiller, II. D., of Lancaster,
as the principal speaker of the occasion.
The gentleman spoke at considerable length,
and gave out many profound thoughts as
well as a suflicient amount of wit to enliven
the occasion. He desired the hall to be
dedicated to True Manhood. He urged the
society members to projierly develop the
body, mind and spirit that they might be
come "perfect men." 3Ir. Schlndlcr is a
very earnest and spirited speaker.
G. C. Smith declaimed a beautiful selec
tion in an acceptable manner, after which
S. S. Keller delivered an oration on "The
Close of the l'Jtli Century." The matter of
t'le sjieech was w ell worded aud arranged,
and spoken very cleverly.
At the conclusion of 3Ir. Keller's oration
calls were made for speeches from Drs.
Helwig and Gotwald, Profs. Prince. Breck
inridge, Ehrenfeld and Young, Dr. Ort, P.
A Schindler, the well-known veteran Sun
day school superintendent, and brother of
Dr. Schindler, and A. II. Gillett Es) , each
of whom responded in an appropriate man
ner. Prof. Breekenrldge spoke at greatest
length of the gentlemen named and made
an excellent speech, having as a text the
thought that "a man must do something to
be something." Dr. Ort was called and
stated that he wis a Philo., being reared "a
little west of Pvctsior ' It, it ntv.rtl,.l.
,Iesired to , r prr,,,,,. In tlie
future. He made a very interesting talk
on men of thought ami action, emphasizing
the otatement that while men of thought
are useful in the world, the men of thought
and action are those who shape its destiny.
Owing to the lateness of the hour it was
deemed best to conclude the exercises by
the benediction, vv hich w as piouounced by
Dr. Gotwald. Altogether it was a splendid
as well as an Instructive service, audjes
terday marks a new era in the history of
Excelsior, at Wittenberg.
The Philos dedicated their new hall sev
eral months since, and the Euterpian holds
forth in the ladies' room, more commonly
know 11 as the "gab room," so that each so
ciet) now occupies a place in the new build
ing. With three active literary societies, a
sujierior faculty, a fine new college edifice
and increased facilities for teaching, why
should not Wittenberg pros(ter'.

The water is from wells on east 3Ialn, east
Columbia and Harrison street respectively.
Prof. Smith stated this morning that he bail
found the most dangerous impurities In ail
the water, and that, in his opinion, the
wells ought to be condemned as unfit for
drinking purposes and unwholesome In the
last degree. He has found large quantities
or nitrogenous matter such as would iiow
into the well from surrounding privy faults
and resulting in disease and death to all
who drink of it. Prof. Smith U making. i
quantitlve analysis today to determine the
exact amount of the foreign matter in the

A PRE-HISTCRIC CURIOSITY.
.X Stone llpe Howl of the Mound Untitle
Age.
Dr. Charles W. Duniap has received from
a friend iu Highland county a rare ami val
uable curiositj". It is a pipe bowl and evi
dently belongs to the mound builder lienor".
It was found far below the surface in a
gravel bank and was brought to lightly
the uprooting of a large tree, in the too"
of which it had been imbedded. This
shows its almost inconceivable antiquity
as the tree w as one of tho pioneers of the
forest
The pipe bowl is about twice as large as
an ordinary meerschaum ami Is curiously
carved in regular convolutions. It is a dull,
dark chocalate in color, and the stone of
which it is made sparkles all over with
bright gold particles, closely resembling the
genuine precious metal. There Is a hole
for the stem and a hole below, the purpose
of which cin only be conjectured, unless it
was to clean the bowl. Although centurits
have passed since its wild sav age owner
Used it to "blow a cloud," its appearance
clearly indicates that it has seen service.
