DECIDED AT LAST.
The Long-Contested Iowa Cen
trail Railroad Case.
The Masters Sale Confrmed.-Judge
Dillon's Vindication.

Des Moines, August 31.-The L. S.
Circuit court has been in session for
three days, considering the famous
Iowa Central railroad case. Council
from New York, Philadelphia and
various parts of this state are present.
The court confirmed the sale of the
road made by the Master to the Farm
ers Loan and Trust company, for the
benefit of the bondholders, and ordered
deed to be made accordingly.
When the case was disposed of,
Judges Dillon and Love, in the presence
of the parties and counsel, and with
the records before them, called atten-
tion to the charges against Judge Dill
Ion, which have been published and in
vestigated by Isaac Cote, of Boston.
By the record the falsity of the charges
was demonstrated, and the counsel in
the case, when certain publications of
Cote were called to their attention,
pronounced them false on the spot.
The feeling here is of indignation
against the authors of these charges.
The bar held meeting looking toward
proper action against the author at the
next regular term Of court. Judge
Love fully sustained Judge Dillon.

ex-President Grant. to-day, by the

NEW YORK.
A Negro's Dreadful Deed.

Syracuse, August 31.-A most afro
cious murder was attempted at Oneida,
Madison county, by man named Judd
Lipe. He got into trouble some time
ago with neighbor, an aged maiden
lady named Nancy Morey, about line
fence. At 10 o'clock at night he
stripped himself of all clothing, and
told his wife he was about to take n
bath in the rain. Then proceeding to
Miss Morey's house adjoining, he broke
in a window and entered, dagger in
hand. Turning down the light he told
Miss Morey to keep still and he would
not hurt her. The woman caught him
by the hand and tried to wrest the dag
ger from him. She clung to him so
closely that he could only strike her in
the back, where he inflicted thirty
three distinct stabs, before he released
her and laid her on the floor for dead.
Lipe then crawled back out of the win
dow and stabbed himself nine times,
once through the lungs and once near
the heart.
The woman's piercing screams when
she was fighting for her life, brought
assistance, only, however, after the
stabbing' had taken place. Both par
ties were lying in critical condition
at last advices. Miss Morey is most
respected woman, gaining n living by
nursing the sick.

BRIGHAM YOUNG, although his ener-
gies were directed in a strange and a
wrong direction, though cruel, grasp
ing, tyrannizing selfishness, and base
sensual passion, were the controlling,
directing principles of his life, was
really one of the most remarkable men
OF his time. Born the son of a Ver-
mont farmer, the recipient of only a
scanty education, a painter and gla-
zler's apprentice in his boyhood, a
1ourneyman mechanic" in his youth,
and a Baptist exhorter in his early
manhood, he became in his matured
manhood the head of church, the
leader of a wonderful religious exodus,
'he founder of great city, and the
absolute civil and religious ruler of
nearly a hundred thousand people.
and he did all these things by virtue Of
oniy his own innate powers, in spite of
great natural obstacles, and in defiance
VI the authority Of a great nation.

ness what Minnesota can do in horses,
cattle, sheep, grain of various kinds,
merchandise, etc. Fruit, which has
never been real success in Minnesota,
is an entire failure this year. The late
frosts destroyed nearly everything in
the shape of fruit, but taking all crops
together we are far ahead of any for
mer year. Many farmers will hold
their wheat unless it should bring a
dollar bushel or more. Wheat is now
just beginning to move. The weather
is very hot after three or four hours
rain.

Daring Attempt at Robbery.
st. Albans, August 3l.-On Sunday
night as DR.. Bingham, a well-known
and wealthy citizen of Phillipsburg,
was sitting at home, his house was en-
tered by band of desperadoes, who
Immediately seized him and took him
to room in another part of the house.
The doctor was alone at the time. The
villains demanded money and sigma
lures to papers which would secure
to them $4,000. Unless this was at
once complied with his life would be
the penalty. After considerable delay
on the part Of the prisoner and a ruse
to get into another room for necessary
papers by which money could be Sc
cured, the doctor was temporarily re-
leased and managed to gain access to
an open window in the second story of
the dwelling, out of which he leaped.
The desperadoes soon ascertained the
escape. They at once made an attempt
to recapture him but failed, The doc
tor reached neighboring house and
gave the alarm, but the efforts to cap
ture the gang proved futile, as they had
left the premises when the doctor with
others had returned. The entire gang
are known and will be arrested.

that of Osman Pasha. They publish
sketches and descriptions of all the
Turkish commanders except Osman.
There seems to be no correspondent

on the intimation that Osman is but
another name for Marshal Bazaine.
