A The supreme court has affirmed the judgment of ouster rendered against James Smith, commissioner of Fre mont county, the case being one of great importance to all counties. The action was brought by David W. Miller and part of the litigation growing out of the trouble in the county. Smith had been a member of the former board. Tho allegations tn this suit were that he had put in and collected bills for work on roads at $6 per day; that he had charged the same rate for superintending bridge works; that the bridge board had appropriated a lump sum out of the treasury aud entrusted it to him to expend in building a road; that various other breaches of the law had been participated in by him. One plea of the defense was that the county had advised the board that the appro priation of money to be expended by members of the board was legal. The supreme court suggests that a county attorney giving such advice could be removed from office. It is found that | the charges were sustained by the evl- j dence, and that the judgment of ouster j was warranted. KONTANA.

Oats and other farm crops also sympathized, as did most hog products. Butter is higher on smaller receipts.

Heavy rains are complained of in tho entire cotton belt east of the Mississippi river aud the crop is generally iu the "grass." Increased cost of the raw material Is not balanced by an advance in finished products.

Nominally quotations at Pittsburg aro unchanged, but it is claimed buyers can get sup plies lower. At other markets pig iron and bars are unquestionably low er.

It was made tragic by tlie rea lization that in that smoke mid beneath the torpid waters semes of liven had been lost or were in lln-ir last desperate struggles ugainst death. Tlie spectacle vvus witnessed by thou sands and thousands from both shores and by other thousands vv ho crowded upon every ferry boat, every excursion boat, upon evci y river craft that could lie sc cured for tue purpose. The crowd upon tlie hanks of the river was almost as great us that which formed to witness tlie tri umphant return of Admiral Dewey. Looking up the river towards liie burn ing ships and piers the scene was one of wonderful but tragic grandeur. The slop Saule had la-cii towed down tlie river until just olf Fort Liberty, where she hud gutli ered about a ring of lire boats and lugs, all lighting to save at least the hull of the doomed steamer. Flames were still leap ing from lier port holes and rustling out of her cabins. At varying distances about tlie burning slop lay coal und eoLton barges, nil ablaze, each uitli one or more tugs playing streams of water upon it. Some of these barges and lighters were ith inflammable stuff and the flames li-.i|u-d high in the air, w Idle the heat was so terrifie that it was possible to use only the small hose of the togs. Soon one by one these altars of fire slowly con sullied, most of them burning down to the water line. Along tlie Jersey shore small lires were blazing, started by the wreck age from the great steamships. On this side of the river the fire caused the greatest excitement us tlie drifting steamships und barges floated, ail aflame, to tlie New York shore and crashed against the piers from Canal to Murray street*. The lire department was called out at vu lions {Kiinls along the threatened sections and tiie spectacle was presented of the I fliemen on shore trying to light lires, every minute ehunging their situation.
