Arrival of the Alice--A New and Royalty
Fitted Out Craft in New Water.
The hearts of river men continue to be
made glad by the steady rise of the river,
the swell in the last "a hours amounting to
two and a-half inches. making total rise of
fourteen inches since the upward M ovement
commenced.
The only arrivals yesterday was II g Alice,
direct from Pittsburg. The Alice is a
'spang'' new boat, and is in BIZ, outfit
ting one of the finest, if not the finest,
pas she is the largest boat ever showing a
gang plank out to the st. Paul levee, The
Alice can boast of thirty four state rooms
not coops-but wide, large, deep, light and
airy rooms, with roomy berths, covered with
soft, springy mattresses and clean and invit-
ing bedding, and that great essential to all
orderly womankind, a closet, with shelves
and hooks to stow and hand away the cast
off and extra apparel. To crown all, just off
the rear of the large and splendid saloon, on
each side, are elegant bridal chambers,
apartments as large as an ordinary sized
tasty appointments. The furniture of the
saloon is all Of late designs, and of rich ma
terial. In fact, all the appointments of the
Alice are essentially first class.
The carrying capacity of the Alice is
shown by the fact that on her present trip
she landed at Cincinnati, carrying eleven
hundred tons on self, and her cabin full of
people. She left St. Louis a week ago last
Friday, with upwards of three hundred tons
for the upper Mississippi, two hundred
of which, consisting Of iron and glass, she
brought through to this port. She also
brought quite number of passengers.
The Alice is commanded by Capt. T. B.
Hill, an old time Northern line captain, with
Capt. G. F. Adams in the office, Joseph Nc
Nance mate, and Ben. Corbett steward
combination of steamboat talent hard to
beat.
The Alice is admirably adapted for the
upper Mississippi trade, and it is not impos
sible that such will be her destination. She
leaves on her return to st. Louis about Il
NJ. to-day.

telegram from Washington announcing
that the bill of Ripple Mitchell, falsely pur-
porting to be for an extension of time to
the Northern Pacific, but really intended to
kill that great enterprise, reported from the
Senate committee on railroads, had been
withdrawn by the committee, and bill sim
liar to that reported in the House agreed
upon, a reporter of the GLOBE was dis
patched to look up the officers of the COM
pany resident in this city, and as
the reliabilities of the telegram. and
the company. The reporter first sought
Gen. Sargent, the general manager, but was
disappointed in finding him absent in Chica-
go. He then proceeded to the residence of
Mr.. r. M. Newport, auditor Of the company,
on Dayton avenue. This gentleman, fortu.
nately, was at home, but unfortunately he had
but little information to give.
Mr.. Newport, however, had no doubt the
Hypothetical bill had been Withdrawn. a
letter from President Wright, now in Wash
ington, intimating that such would probably
be the the result of the perfect storm of in
dignation raised among Senators and Repre-
sentatlves, and lovers of fair dealing gener-
ally, by the harsh, unjust and outrageous
provisions Of Mitchell's bill. Mr.. Newport
said that the friends of the road who have
been looking after its interests in Washing
ton, never had any fear of its passing the
Senate, but there was q fear that it might
delay action beyond the present session. and
thus seriously interfere with the plans of
the company.
AS to the provisions of the bill agreed up
on by the committee in place of the Mitchell
monstrosity, he had no information beyond
the telegraph statement that it was in it's
main features copy of the House bill. If so,
he had no doubt it would be acceptable to
the company, and becoming a law, the ex-
tension of the road would be commenced,
and completed under its provisions.
Mr.. Newport further said that the
Mitchell-Jay Gould monstrosity having been
withdrawn, and not kept before the Senate
for use to delay action on some practical
measure, he saw no reason to doubt that a
bill reasonably satisfactory to the company
would be passed and become a law be-
fore the adjournment of the present
session. The Senate had already
at it's late session manifested
its disposition to deal fairly by
the company, by passing bill substantially
the same as that now pending, and the
housewife opposed to any new grants, con
tanned, it was believed by those best inform
ed, strong majority in favor of affording
the Northern Pacific company the necessary
legislation to enable it to. complete this
great highway across the Continent.

The HOnselI Murder.

Detective Hoy yesterday received letter
from Sheriff Dill. of Winona, confirming the
story of the murder committed by Housell, the
ex-policen an. Numerous articles = that
Housclls wife claimed were taken from the
Canadian, have been traced up and would seem
to confirm her statements.
He is of the opinion, however. that should
the fugitive be captured nothing could be done
as no evidence other than the statements of his
wife could be introduced against Hon>ell, and
that would not be admitted. The man should
be arrested, and have an examination at any
rate,

Punch till He Pays His SIX Cent Fairc.
Engineering street car is not always the
comfortable and peaceful avocation it might
be. At times squalls are encountered
threatening shipwreck to the craft. The
engineer of a car on the main line encoun-
tered such squat yesterday between ~ and
o'clock, while his craft was approaching
the Wabashaw street junction. just after
leaving Jackson street the car was boarded
by Swede full of benzine and mulish-
ness.
Before taking seat the Swede dropped
nltk'e into the cash-box, seeing which the
driver called his attention to the fact that
the fare was six cents. Swede paid no at
tentlon to the reminder. Again the driver
called his attention to the lacking cent.
when the Swede surlily replied that he had
paid all he intended to.
Thus matters stood until the junction was
reached, when the driver again called the
attention of his passenger to the fact that
the fare was SIX cents, at the same time in.
viting his attention to the printed card most
cd up in each Car to that effect. The renlv
by the Swede was that he did not care a
an, he had paid all he intended to.
Seeing that nothing could be ac-
complished toward collecting the
proper fare without trouble, the driver turn
ed and left the car, With the idea of INVOKING
the aid of an officer. AS he stepped out The
swede flung at him several religious smash
ing expressions, coupled with decided re-
Election upon the character Of his mother.
This was too much. Sunday and all the
peaceful, loving thoughts that surrounds the
observance of this sacred day disappeared
IN the back ground, and in place, the old man

Tomorrow Madame Camilla Urso, with
her 5000 violin, will appear at the
Academy of Music, and a packed house will
greet her with storm OF applause. She is
one of the few ladies on the stage for whom
Minneapolitans entertain warm feeling of
regard.
During one Of Madame Camilla Urso's
recent visits to the West she played in q
small Ohio town. After the performance u
raw-boned old farmer, his face beaming with
delight, approached her. Revcrently, as if
almost fearing to address her, he stood for a
moment with his head uncovered, and then
said, Madame, ant no critic, but / must
say that was the most silkiest fddling l
ever did hear The old fellow was not So
far wrong. Silky is a word which does
some slight Justice to Madame Urso's wond-
erful performance upon the violin. To do
that performance full justice would be i'm
possible; our language is too poor. This is
high praise but it is we'll lnerited. The
lady is in truth an extraordinary artistic, and
it is with pleasure that We record the fact
that she has always been most enthusiastic
ally received here.

Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon the sad intelligence
that Dr.. Levi Butler, one Of the most extern
sively and favorably known citizens of Min
neapolis, had breathed his last at half past
three o'clock, became known throughout the
city. For some time past DR.. Butler has
been quite i'll, and last February took a
Southern trip, hoping that the change of
climate would prove beneficial. The antici-
pated change In health, however, was not
realized, and he returnd here short time
since.
The cause of his illness had been nervous
prostration, combined with some trouble OF
tho heart.
During his residence in this city, he has
gathered about him circle of warm friends,
who will most sincerely regret his death.
His life has been an eventful and honorable
! one. He was born in Jennings county, In

period of his life, extending from eighteen
