Man Doing 1t.
The neighboring village of Anoka made a
gala day Of it yesterday. The occasion was
the testing of their new Silsby No. steam

There were in attendance all the city au-
thorities, and vast concourse of citizens
Among the visitors were Chief r. O. Strong,
b. B. Birge, FL. Tubbison, p. Churchill, of
M. Brackeett, of Minneapolis.
The tests made were many, and in every
instance highly satisfactory.
THE TRIAL.
The first test was firing up, starting steam
from cold water, and throwing stream. This
was done in 81 minutes through 600 feet
of hose.
Under the same conditions in $685. min
utes stream 60 feet high was thrown.
Then followed the following tests, with the
steam up:
First One stream; 400 feet of hose, "a
inch nozzle; height of stream $50 feet; 800
feet of hose, IS inch nozzle; height of
stream, 172 feet.
Second-Two streams; 600 feet of hose,
Is inch nozzle; height of stream, 219
feet.
Third One stream; 2sO feet of hose, Il
inch nozzle; height of stream, 266 feet; best
every made.
Fourth One stream, steamer reversed;
$50 feet of hose, II inch nozzle; height of
stream, BOB feet; best ever made.
Fifth-One stream; 500 feet of hose, IA
inch nozzle; height of stream, 263 feet.
Sixth-One stream; ,15O feet of hose, / IA
inch nozzle; height of stream, 219 feet.
Extra tests were made with LOO feet of
hose, and 30 feet lift of water from river, and
the stream was thrown over the conrt house
tower ninety five feet high.
With 1000 feet of hose, III inch nozzle,
a stream was thrown over the Congregation
al church steeple, Ill feet high; 40 feet lift
from river.
The tests were closely watched and the re-
suits accurately computed. The machine
was declared to be A 1, as well as the hand
soonest in the State.
FATAL ACCIDENT.
An unfortunate accident occurred during
the latter part of the trial Mr.. Nick Blise,
a farmer living about two miles from the
place, was watching the experiments, when
his horses became frightened and
run away. The wagon was upset,
and he being thrown under the feet
of the frightened animals, he was badly
stamped up. He was finally rescued, in an
almost lifeless condition, from his perilous
position. On medical examination it was
found that his injuries were very dangerous,
and, as is thought probable, if he received
Internal injury, his recovery is very doubtful.

The editorial department of the D0Sla
+ Vozhsse5tat1ag, (Which paper died premature
death on Sunday last,) labors to explain, in
its exceedingly dull valedictory, the cause OF
the demise, without, however, giving the real
explanation of its troubles:
.We can not give the full and exact rea-
sons, without publishing an accurate history
of the organization of the daily and its late
management Time and space forbids
I do not blame the gentlemen Of the
VolksseStat,ag if they feel disinclined to
publish the complete and full history of the
enterprise. 1t might be found entirely too
interesting. But can not syrnpathize with
the coterie in their attempt to lay the fault
of the disaster at my door, which they do in
the following:
"The history of the Vo1ksgestat,ag has con-
WINGED us, first, that a sufficiently rich field
public is willing to support the same. Sec
ond, the field, and support of the public is
sufficient only for the maintenance of a
paper in the hands of thoroughly compe-
tent manager, who, in turn, is largely inter
ested by reason of the investment of con-
siderable capital of his own. From it's
birth, the paper has been without such man
ager, and Mr.. Bender's withdrawal robs it of
such aid as it lately enjoyed at his hands,
The above plainly intimates that first,
understand nothing of the newspaper bust
ness; second, Inever had cent invested in
the VozksseStataag.
The proprietors are well aware that, the
second is falsehood. If they will take the
trouble to scan the books Of the concern,
they will find that was largely interested in
the capital stock, which investment, like that
of all the other stockholders, came to naught
under the brilliant management of my
worthy successors.
Regarding the first point, my fitness for
the position held, I do not acknowl-
edge the competency of the late and no
doubt present owners-the German, Ameri7

to be judged by adopts, I do not purpose

More Proof Agaiaast the Washburn Ringl
Benson Times.]
The Milwaukee board of trade and the
Minneapolis Millers' association have, we
understand, formed combination to rule
the prices of wheat. In our last issue we
published an extract from the st. Paul Dis
patch, which plainly showed prevention
against extortion. The farmers around Her
mann and beyond combined and shipped
their wheat to New York, where, after pay
ing all expenses, they Melted SO cents, an in
crease of 2otper cent. over what they were
offered at home. If this programme was SO
successfully carried out by the residents of
Hermann, we can see no reasonable obsta-
Gle to prevent the farmers of this county
from doing the same, and until they do they
may expect to be bled to death by these
monopolists.

THE LEGISLATURE
The Aro0stoak Case-The Fishery Bill
State B oard Of Heaith-HnsoIvency Bill,
AUGuSTA Feb

AUGUSTA Feb. IA.
The celebrated Aroostook contested election
case has at last been settled. 1t has occupied
the attention of the Senate to considerable
degree almost from the commencement of the
session. Very early special committee was
appointed, and they have given many hearings
and had large number of public and private
meetings for the consideration of the case. Last
week majority and minority report were
presented, the former claiming that MIR. Bur
leigh received a majority of the legal votes cast
and properly returned, and that he is a resident
within the meaning Of the law, of Aroostook
county, and the minority report took directly
opposite grounds. These reports came up by
assignment on Tuesday, and as your legislative
reports show, the question was the substitution
of the minority for the majority. Senators
Stevens, Martin and Rogers made the principal
arguments for, and Davis of Penobscot, Haynes
aud Morrison against this motion. The argu-
ment5 have bean long, able, eloquent and ex-
haustive, every phase of the subject having
been ably discussed with dignity and firmness.
A great Gro wd was in constant attendance, fill
ing all the available space in the gallery and
upon the floor of the Senate.
The House spent the day yesterday in discuss
ing that portion of the fish bill which relates to
the menhaden fisheries The minority report,
which prohibits the taking of menhaden with
seines in bays, inlets, harbors or rivers where
the entrance is less than one mile wide, was
adopted by good majority The result was
quite as much of a surprise to Its friends as to
the enemies Of the report
There will be two reports upon the State
Board of Health bill, the majority granting
leave to withdraw, will be signed by Morrison
Prince, Moore, Kimball, Partridge, Weeks and
Briggs, and the minority, reporting bill, by
Webb, Phillips and Parln. It is apparent that
some of the committee have changed their
minds upon the question within few days.
The Finance Committee are considering the
question of reducing the number of Railroad
Commissioners from three to one. 1t is argued
