The reports that have been published concerning the probable change of ad ministration at the hc | for the in- sane are not wholly ficticions, but many of the conclusions drawn from the pros- pective cl > wholly of that natur Careful inquiry elicits the fact that ( ernor Dawes has ask ground, act of Roggen alone, or that the local primaries had anything w! or to do with it, is wholly a matte fiction. urther, the alleged tele announcing such nonsense are not from the field of action, or in any probability of Lincoln origin, but rather concocted in the _oflice where published for purely personal motives on the part of interested parties. Secretary Roggen 18 only one of fonr who comprisethe board of public lands and buildings, Commissioner Scott, Treas- urer Willard and Attorney General Leese being also of that board, and a unit in asking that a change be made in the ad- ministration_of affairs at the hospital They have been a unit in this matter for a year, or more, and the governor is evidently joining with them. DISTRICT COURT CASES, Papers have been filed in the district court in which James Kilbourn brings suit against the Northwestern railroad, now building to this city. It seems that the road in entering the city condemned certain lots in Kilbourn's addition for ri§m-ur-\my purposes, and the appr: allowed $400 damages. This amount Kilbourn "considers entirely too small, and he asks judgement in court for §1.500. J. H McMurtry commenced sui against Walter P. Beebe to remove the cloud from the title and to declare a ce tain tax deed void covering lots in Lan- caster addition to Lincoln. Oliver P. Davis, gunardian, has made application before the district court for license to sell real estate, the property of the Davis estate, the sale to_be made in the interest of Milton and Walter Day minor heirs, and to procure means to clear the title to the real estate. Judge Hayward was in the city yester- day, en route to Plattsmouth, where he will to-morrow open the session of the district court for Cass county. The judge found the time between trains to visit with friends and glean some facts from the political situation regarding the coming judgship contest. I response to the question ns to his candidacy Judge Hayward said that if nominated e accept A wa CITY AFFAIN Tant was issued yesterds party named J. E. Pugh, who rested and taken from the B. & M. Sunday night, and lodged in the jail Crete. Pugh was to’be brought to Lin coln for trial terday afternoon, and the charge against him was for felonious assault against John Ballinger, the weapon used being a dirk knife. No one, however, was imjured in the fracas. A party, named Spiker, was up in police court yesterdny charged with stealmg o wagon seat from near. Loncoln, and also charged with stealing a set of harness and other property from some one near Raymond. The man who lost the n seat, after receiving his propert 10t care to prosecute the case, and Spiker offered to giye the Raymond party back the property taken from him. At iast nccounts the case was yet unsettled. In opening a box car loaded with through treight from Chicago to Lincoln, that urrived here a day or two ngo, it was found that the car, either before starting or while en route, had been opened and several thousand cigars and a case of boots and shoes had been ex- tracted therefrom. An investigation w held here by local authorities, and as it came from Pacific Jurction, on a day run, it was decided that the thieving must i been done east of the river, and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy’ was so notitied., In the police court yesterday morning the Smith woman, eharged with riotin and fighting, and who ereated such havoe in being landed in jail, was up for trial, and on & hearing of the «hnicurlyahe was fined $20 and costs. Five drunks and disorderlies also m'em;«lim]ll ;lll )'i‘alcrdn' ax:’d were arraigned, pleas ity and fined. One produced the euflnu. paid out, and the others went back to jail. Some time ago a traveling man had his sample cases rifled of some three hundred dollars worth of cutlery, while on the B. & M. road at the town of Nel- son. One of the thieves was caught, and esterday a B. & M. detective went west vrosecute the case. The police, 1t seems, did not heed the demand made by the chief for their res {gnations, and like the deposed railroad commissioner, refused to refign. The council will sit upon their ease. The wreck at Cedar Creek delayed eastern mails yesterday, and it was 8 p. m. before the regular noon train reschod Lincoln, Ex-Governor Aibius Nance and wife, of Osceola, were in Lincoin vesterday, and the governor is a probable couven- tion spectator for Wednesday. W. F. Tibbets. traveling agent for t Denver & Rio Grande railroad, was in § incoin yesterday advertising his road.

New London Telegraph: In the early days of our commerce with China, after the treaty which allowed American clip- pers to ener the harbor of Hong Kong, one of the largest English three-deckers was lying in the harbor,and at sunset her yards and topmasts were housed to show the manner in which the ship w manned. A Yankee eaptain who wa: awaiting a freight of new tes watched the Englishman and decided to try his hand with him. Two or three duys later, at the sunset gun, the American clipper’s yards and sails came down and topmasts housed some minutes before the man-of- war. Again in the morning at the signal the yards were sent up and the English- man was again behind, Forseveral days the race went on, with the same result, until the American ship received her argo, and on the day before setting sail yards came down und were sent to the English frigate with the compliments of the Yankee captain, They were bam- boo poles with painted (furled) sails. i A Beautiful Present.

Queen Mary was no stranger to the neighborhood of Lochleven or to the cas- tle itself as she had frequently resided in it when ‘ollowing her favorite sports of hunting, hawking and fishing. ~ Several of her ietters and her acts of council are dated from Lochleven, and she was liv- ing there when she held at Kinross the memorable interview with John Knox. We learn from her manuscript note book fter her return from France blf in this water girdled s certain rooms lorned with preces of tap .~Lr{ on which scenes of hunting and hawking were depicted, and which contained an ample store of rich wiful furniture. In all probab:l ity during her imprisonment at Loch leven she was permitted to occupy tl ruments. The keep or s of the castle which stilt exists preservation, appears to have been crected shortly before the time of Queen Mar; 1t is tour stor in heignt, with round projecting turrets at the corners, and was doubtless the residence of the baron and his household. Ace was obtained to it by n drawbridge, which ex tended from a building to the courtyard, now demolished, to the third floor of the tower. The ground floor and the floor of the second story were vaulted and ary still entire. 'The courtyard was sur rounded by high walls flanked at the cor- ner by towers, and contained a variety of buildings for the accommodation of the garrison. Wit regard to the place of Queen Mary’s imprisonment, it is impossible now to arrive at any certainty. Some writers have supposed that it was in the re tower— a con- improbuble. nd authcritively asserts that Queen Mary’s lodgings were in the south astern tower, in the courtyard, the prin- al room of which is cireular in formn, fifteen feet in- dinmeter and forty- four in circumference. Mr. Froude, who adopts the same view, deseribes the build. from seven to eight feet ir diameter, with walls four feet thick, formed of rough bewn stone, rudely plastered and pierced with long, narrow slits for windows, through which nothing rger than a cat can pass, but which ad- mitted daylizht and glimpses of the loch and But the eloquent historian has failed to notice that the window of the lower apartments is really quite large enough to have afforded fre egress to the queen and her maids, and the tower, situated as it is at the exirem ity of the courtyard, was the most inse- sire part of the buildings.
