recollections of DR.. Floto, the celebrat-

to cure all the diseases that flesh is heir
to, in our city last summer. We find
the following chapter from the history
Of his adventures in an exchange:
A couple of months since, DR.. Floto, "a eel

his residence ut Muscatine, and opened an of

himself into the hearts of the many citizens, as

promptly the first month. The second mont h.
his credit being established, he went in debt
three times as much as on the FIRST borrowed
money everywhere. and fed. Hiring negro
to drive himtto Wilton he departed at midnight

A 1g4TrER or JUSTICE.

The Honorable Course Pursued by nTr. A.
S. Elfeit During the Recent Railroad
Controversy.
the strides which st. Paul is making, and
has consequently fallen to abusing the man
who owned the ground where the Sioux City
shops are to be located. After stating that
he was offered $500 per acre, but asked $500,
and then raised to $500 whom the contro-
versy came up between the railroads, the
Tribune said:
1t was exceedingly unkind of Elicit to take
advantage of the intense mental strain pre-
vailing at st. Paul on Wednesday, and exact
700 dollars more for his forty acres for the
car shops than had previously been agreed up
on. Elfelt is a st. Paul nan, and ought to
have given $10, 900 rather than have added
$4,000 to his bid. But such is life.
It is due Mr.. Elicit to say that his course
throughout this entire controversy has been
most honorable and loyal to st. Paul. The
price which was agreed upon between Mr..
Elicit and the citizens committee was $500
per acre. This was satisfactory to the com
rnlttee, and was really low price for the
| property. After the price had been agreed
upon the controversy in question arose.
The Milwaukee & st. Paul company sent to
him to buy the right OF way through the
property. He called upon the citizens COM
mittee to know if they were ready to pur-
chase. They we're not, but on the contrary
released him from all obligation. Knowing
that he was releasedf he met the Milwaukee
rttorney of the M. g. St. P. company, and
upon declining to sell the right of way, was
asked what he would take for the whole In
stead of attempting to take ad-
vantage of the situation, he de-
clined to fix any price, but on the
contrary, with the controversy still pending,
and every reason to believe he could secure
large advance, he voluntarily renewed his
obligation to sell to st. Paul for the original
price of $500. A day later the sale was con-
| summated.
| There is not one man in thousand who
would have pursued the course Mr.. Elicit
took, and he deserves hearty commentator
| therefor. He refused to take the slightest
advantage of the contest, and though fully
released closed the sale at the price agreed
upon before the controversy arose. There
are very few who would not at least have
used one party to bid against the other, but
Mr.. Elicit has resided in st. Paul for twenty
nine years, and he did not propose to prove
treacherous to the city which has been his
home the best years of his life.

The General Plan.


representative of the GLOBE learned by
inquiry that the general plan is to build a
depot of magnificent proportions, being 100
feet wide by 800 feet long, with a forty foot
space for carriages and omnibusses. It is
proposed to locate this magnificent building
at the foot of Sibley street, where the pres
ent st. Paul Pacific depot stands. The
long freight depot of the West Wisconsin
q. NJ. d st. P.) would have to be removed
to make way for the coming structure. The
building will be arranged with nine
tracks and fitted witn ticket Offices, waiting
rooms, and all the modern improvements. It
will be a structure in every way worthy of
a commanding city like ST.. Paul.
Tne block between Jackson and Sibley
streets, which the Milwaukee & st. Paul
road designed as site for passenger depot,
Will now be used for small freight depot
FOR that road, and as soon as that connecting
link goo feet belonging to the Simpson
heirs) is secured, such a building will be
erected.

that the parties and interests which he rep
resented we're willing that such ground and
it's approaches should be dedicated to that
purpose on fair terms to all parties, and in
such 3 manner as not to prejudice the in
terests of any parties in the pending legal
proceedings.
This proposition was, on motion of Mr..
Porter, voted TO be satisfactory, and was &C
copied.

were regarded as satisfactory, and on Mr..

chairman and secretary OF the meeting
with legal COUNSEL perfect the articles
of incorporation and send q perfected
copy to each of the companies for consider
alton, acceptance aud subscription.

pare plans for a depot, to be presented at a

Robert Walker, glass-blower employed at
the Star works, in New Albany, according to
the statement of his daughter, is much
married man. Miss Louisa Walker, aged six
teen years, came to New Albany in June last
from England, where she left her mother and
two sisters Her object in coming was to live
with her father, whom she had mot seen since a
mere child. The girl had not been in New
Albany long before she found that her father
was living with another woman, and that he
had six children whom he called his own.
Louisa lived with him a few weeks and as his
wife made 1t very unpleasant for her, she con-
GUIDED to leave, and so informed her relatives.
Her father declined to give up her clothing, and
she was obliged to do the best she could in her
everyday dress. She found employment at
the Phoenix Hotel and afterwards secured
better place at the residence of Mr.. Albert Trim
Ter. Since she has been employed at the latter
place her father has made application to have
her weekly wages paid to him, and Mr.. TrinIer
holds of the letters wherein Walker
acknowledges that he is the father of the girl
and that he of right ought to have the money
she cams. 1t has been the object of the girl to
earn enough money to pay her way back to
England to join her mother. Louisa says her
mother does not know the condition of things
but has been written to and viii soon send her
marriage certificate to this country, that her
truant husband may be punished. Walker says
that be was married TO his present wife Bes-
ton, Mass, and that he obtained divorce from
his first wife in Boston in 1866. He does not
remember the name of the judge who granted
the divorce, or on what ground he obtained it..
He does not deny that he had a wife in Eng
land. but says she has claims on him now.
William Perkins. a nephew of Walkers, sub
stantiates the statements made by the girl, and
says Walkers first wife knows nothing of the
divorce.
