ON THE MINNEAPOLIS PLAN.

Il Brace Of Actire and Emphatic Rtt,latcaUs
---Secere Injury ofan Estin.able Lady.
On Sunday evening, MI. Thomas Downey,
master mechanic on the St. Louis railway,
was returning from his father-in- laws, in the
East Division, accompanied by his wife and
child, when the horse became frightened and
made jump, tearing off one of the fore
wheels of the buggy, and throwing the en-
tire party to the frozen ground. The horse
ran, and the buggy collided with another,
making a complete wreck of the vehicle.
Mrs. D. was quite severely injured, being in
sensible for brief period. At last accounts,
however, she was gradually improving, and it
was hoped her injuries would not prove
dangerous. The team belonged to the livery
stable of A. j. Phillips, on Sixth avenue
south.
Another one of the same sort took place
yesterday morning. A span of horses at
tached to milk wagon were left standing in
front of the Milwaukee depot, while the
tactical fluid dispenser entered a house
to deliver the family allowance of milk.
Taking advantage of the drivers absence,
the horses started and were not caught until
they had reached the market house. Sever
al families went without milk in their coffee,
as result of the morning exercise of the
team, and the owner of the wagon was out
considerable amount for repairs.

that It would do no good to open up any
old sores; and expressed the hope that by
cones would be considered bygones, and
that citizens would open their eyes to the
futnre and close them to the past. He sug-
gested change in Maj. Bassett's resolution
to the effect that more perfect union was
desirable on just and equitable basis.
Gov. Pillsbury violated the standing rule
of his life, and made quite lengthy speech
advocating a consolidation of the divis-
ions into one city, in fact as
well as in name. He could see nothing to be
gained by elimination and recrimination.
He hoped the matter would be discussed
calmly and courteously, and that plan
would be adopted acceptable to both sides of
the river. He Offered substitute for the
two pending resolutions, but afterwards
withdrew it to give place to the following
offered by David Blakely:
Resol,ed, That it is the judgement of this
board OF trade and citizens assembled, that a
closer union Of the two divisions of the city of
minneapolis, and representation based upon
principles of equity and justice, should, if
practicable be secured, and that committee of
ten be appointed, whose duty it shall be to ex-
anime into all the questions involved, and re-
port their views thereupon to this board at an
adjourned meeting to be held on Thursday
IL ornlng at y CLOCK, SAID report TO ne accom-
panied by bill to be submitted to the Legis
lature, if approved, for incorporation into law.
After some further desultory talk the reso-
luton was adopted without dissent, and the
chair appointed the following committee:
Hon. Jno. DeLaittre S. c. Gale,
Gov. ]. S. Pillsbury, 0. A. Pray,
VIM. Lochren, l.. M. Wilson.
s. H. Chute, A. T. Ankeny,

large amounts are being bought for seed on the
Northern Pacific road and in other parts of
the State. great emigration is expected to
this country the coming season and in the
near future we may hope to see it become
not only one Of the most prosperous
but most prosperous parts of the
State. st. Paul and Minneapolis cannot
over estimate its importance to them. AS it
will always continue to be tributary directly
to them it's effect upon their prosperity can
be readily seen.
We can not close this sketch without e1-
pressing the fact SO apparent to all who pass
over this line of road that to it entirely do
we owe the present and prospective settle
ment of this country west of the Big Woods.
There are, at present, tens of thousands of
acres of land under cultivation, score of
thriving towns, and thousands of pleasant
homes that could never have been, and
which owe their existence to it. Give the
railroads of Minnesota, the pioneers of set
Element and cultivation, the credit they de-
serve, and let your judgment of their short
comings be tempered with mercy in view of
what they have done and are doing in the
way of opening up our fertile but otherwise
uninhabitable prairies to the settler. r.

went up from the people of this section
in grasshopper times, he is glad
to know that for the past year all have had
enough to satisfy the necessaries of life,
without having to accept charity, and while
they are ever thankful to the noble men and
women of this great nation, who SO gener-
ously provided for their wants in the past.
Still they object to being held up to the
world as now being destitute. There are no
cases in this county except where there Is
sickness or accident, that need assistance.
Another error 'sMc' fell into, and that is
in regard to lands in this section. s'Mc"
says 'fhere are no government lands in this
locality"
Wrong again. There are many thousand
acres of fine prairie land within twenty
miles of this place open to homestead entry,
or can be taken as tree claims or by redemp-
ton, as parties desire. There is also large
tract of land within a few miles of this
place that can be bought very cheap and on
long time if desired and at low rates of in
terest. These comprise railroad, State and
private lands, and are among the very best
in the county. Large crops were raised the
past season according to the average
sown), and as all the land
broke up will be seeded this year,
there is good reason to believe
that bright and prosperous future awaits
the people of Southwestern Minnesota.
The GLOBE fills long-vacant place and is
eagerly sought after by all Democrats and
many Republicans. Success to it. Any
questions in regard to lands, climate, soil,
crops, etc., will be cheerfully answered by
Messrs Miner Parsons at this place, to
whom your correspondent would respectful

Storyofa Lad Who Drifted to Sea in the
Schooner Twilight.
philadelphia Times Jan. 90
The rescue of the lad Adolphus Parker,
who was carried to sea on the 23d inst. in the
schooner Twilight, which broke her moor
ings at the inlet at Atlantic City and drifted
out. has already been reported. A Times
reporter yesterday secured the following
statement of Parker's adventurous trip. He
said: :.When she first parted her moorings
I thought would run her ashore, but she
struck the wharf and sheereQ off into the
stream. l then threw over small kedge
anchor, which dragged to the first buoy and
there parted the cable. Noticing she was
fast being driven on the bar hoisted sail to
keep her off. The surf-boat put out to help
me. but turned back. Meanwhile l tried to
haul her close to the wind, after clearing the
bar. in the hope of receiving assistance,
which did not come. l now found myself
fast being driven to sea, and did not think
the schooner would be able to stand the ter
rible waves which struck her. The rigging
was poor, sails torn, and the prospect of her
weathering the gale not very promising.
On Wednesday night heavy sea broke over
the vessel and rolled me over the wheel. The
rigging ana QeCK were cOVereu Will lCe, dLSl
it was with difficulty / kept myself from
freezing. On Thursday l suppose I was
near the Gulf Stream. There was about a
foot and half Of water in the hold and a
heavy sea rolling. The pumps gave ont, and
was forced to bail her out with bucket.
About o'clock on Thursday afternoon the
wind sprang up fresh from the southeast.
1 then headed west and about 10 o'clock at
night was hailed by a bark, which cleared
the schooner by only 10 feet. The schoon-
ers lights went out, and took down the
starboard light, relit it, and hung the signal
light in the main rigging on the port side
On Friday morning I sighted land neal
Beach Haven, and, after beating about al
day, headed up abreast of Absecom light
The sea was very rough, and, falling to bring
the vessel into the inlet, and as the water
was up to the cabin floor, / beached her or

off, after having been without sleep for foul

Miss A1.tJ.o,,y Sunday Night.

The audience who attended Association
Hall on Sunday evening to listen to
her lecture on Temperance and Social
Purity" was doubtless, as was the writer of
this item, disappointed. Her lecture Gf it
can be dignifed by such name) was filled
with grossly exaggerated statistics, and that
portion which was not statistics, was Judi
cious division between outrageous scolding
and silly incidents which had no particular
application in her line of argument,
or effort at argument. The central
idea of her address was true.
In justice woman can claim the ballot, but
Miss Anthony's manner of placing the mat
ter before her audience was peculiarly unfor-
tunate. Doubtless the lady is a very honest,
earnest and conscientious advocate Of the
principle of woman's suffrage, but as pub
lie speaker she by no means fulflls the antic-
ipations aroused by her reputation. She
lacks the eloquence and intensity of Miss
Dickinson, and the smoothness of Mrs.
Stanton.

A MAN WHO WOULDN'T FIGHT.
One Southern Ld,cyer WhO Did Not BE
fiere IN the Code of Honor.

One Southern Ld,cyer Who Did Not Be
liere IN the Code of Honor.
philadelphia Times.
There is one figure that stands out refresh
ingly cool and unique dnring these troublous
times. This was John M. Dooly, the man
who announced that he would not fight under
any circumstances. He was probably the
most brillinat man produced in that era,
prolific of giants. He was the peer of Craw
ford on any field, and his superior in the
legal forum. His abilities were transcendent,
and his failure to make national reputation
arose doubtless, from no other cause than
his refusal to fight on any and all occasions.
A non-combatant could not hold his head up
in these turbulent times. Dooly had the most
delicious humor, and a sharp tongue withal.
He was continually getting into trouble be-
cause of his satirical sayings He was per-
fectly fearless of speech. Judge Gresham
once threatened to chastise him. Dooly re
piled:
'.You can do it if you like. You will get
no credit for it, however. Anybody can do
it, and great many have done it." He was
once knocked down by gentleman that he
had introduced as the inferior
Judge of an inferior court~~of the
inferior county of Lincoln. He called Justify
on the spectators for help, and when rescued
from his antagonist, rubbed his head and
and remarked dryly. s'Well, that is the
forty-second fight have been engaged in,
and if ever got the best of single one |
do not now remember it, Before Dooly's
peace proclivities were fully known he was
challenged to mortal combat by a Mr.. Tate,
who came to the field with Mr.. W. H. Craw-
ford as his second. Dooly accepted the
challenge. Tate has lost leg and wore a
wooden one. When he and his friend had
reached the field they found Dooly alone, sit
ting on stump,
'sWhere is your friend?" asked Crawford,
in some surprise. HE is in the woods, sir. .
s.And will be present in moment, sir, sup
pose?" said Crawford. 'sYes, as soon as he
can find a bee-gum.'
s'May inquire what he wants with bee
gum?' ''Why, want to put my leg in it.
Do you suppose can afford to risk my leg
of flesh against Tate's leg of wood? If l hit
his leg he will get another tomorrow, and
peg away as usual. If he hits mine, it may
kill me OF compel me to stump it like him
for the balance Of my life. No sir; l must
have gum. Then will be just as much
wood as he is and we will be on equa
TERMS.
81 understand you, Col. Dooly; you do no.
intend to tight?" ''Why. really, Col. Craw
ford, thought everybody knew that

your name in no enviable light will fill the
column of newspaper tomorrow 81 as

A CLOSER UNION.

The Board Of Trade Haze the Matter Us,-
der Consideratiom--l Committee 4Ippoint-
Ell to Settle Upon an Equitable Bos,s.
The regular monthly meeting of the Board
of Trade was held in the council chamber
yesterday morning. After the consideration
of some unimportant matters, the meeting
resolved itself into citizens debating So
ciety, for the purpose of discussing the pro-
posed closer union of the East and West
Divisions of the city.
The secretary stated that he had called the
meeting at the council chamber at the re-
quest Of Mayor De Laittre and other promi-
nent citizens who desired to have a full and
free expression of opinion on the proposed
closer union of the Divisions.
Judge Atwater was called upon and stated
briefly the action which had been taken by
the school boards of the two Divisions,
and at the same time took
occasion to remark that he was
opposed to any further attempt at partial
union. He should oppose the union of the
school boards unless The union was made
perfect. A union of the school boards would
add $4,000 to the taxation of the West Di-
vision. He suggested the appointment of
consider and settle the basis of a perfect
union.
Mr.. Bassett offered a resolution to the
effect that a more perfect union was desira-
BILE and advisable, said union to be based on
population and property valuation.
In support of his resolution, Mr.. Bas-
sett said that he favored perfect union of
the two divisions, provided it could be effect
ual upon a just and equitable basis. When
the original union was made it was not on a
basis Of population or wealth, and the dis
crepancy between the two divisions had been
growing wider ever since. All could see the
Injustice of the present union. Our ward
in the West Division cast as many votes and
had more wealth than the entire East Divi-
sion, and yet the West Division ward has
two aldermen and the East Division eight.
The taxation of the East and West Divisions
was as 8 to SIS, while the representation stood
as to ~.
MIR. Richard Chute said that since the first
proposal for union six years ago had been
1nooted he had always been in favor of 9
perfect union. But the time seems never tc
have been suspicious for such a union until
the present. He wanted all the points dis
cussed, but he did not think an absolutely
perfect representation between either wards
or divisions was possible. He asked if any
injury had been done to the West Division
because Is the inequality of representation
What he wanted was a reduction of taxation
because people would not come to city K
build up home where they were taxed be
yond human endurance. Thus far Minneap
Oils had Made few mistakes and he hope,
she would not make any,.
Mr.. Bassett briefly stated in reply wherei,
he thought the West Division had snffere
by the preponderance Of the East over III
West Division in population.

Il Fable for Politicians.
Atlanta constitutional

An Ambitious Politician from the South,
rejecting upon the situation, said to himself:
::The Tide seems to be setting from the East.
I think it would be well to curry Favor with
that country Thereupon he provided him
self with Golden Currycomb, and at once
began to curry Favor with the East. But it
SO happened that year that the Tide came
from the West and South, and there was a
new man on the Topmost wave.

Washington Cor. N. Y. World-Goldite.
The silver men are as confident as ever of
being able to pass silver bill over veto,
and are quite amused over the claim of the
New York Times that it takes two-thirds of
the whole House to pass bill over the veto,
and that the vote. of Monday on the Mat
thews resolutions lacks six of two-thirds of
the whole number of yotes-293. This is
quite mistake. A majority makes quorum,
and two thirds of a quorum or two-thirds of
all present, including a quorum, will pass a
bill over VOTE Two-thirds of bare quo
rum passed bills over President Johnson's
veto. The anti-silver men cannot afford to
hang their hopes on the slender thread that
two-thirds of the whole House are required
to defeat veto.
