admirably, and the prospects were that he
would need to hire no binders during the
season. In short time he was notified that
unless he would cease operation with the

The Hastings Union of July 18th SAYS:
"Our city council is taking prompt action to
suppress the tramp nuisance this summer.
About harvest every year they begin to con-
gregate, and the property, and possibly lives,
of our citizens are in danger. The council
has made arrangements for the guns of the
old military company, and our citizens have
generously volunteered to shoulder mus
ket and go to the front, if necessary. About
sixty members are already enrolled.
The following accidents have occurred in
Morristown, Faribault county, within recent
dates: son of Mr.. La Barge's was kicked
by a colt, and death resulted in few hours.
Then son of MIR. Bany accidentally shot
himself with revolver, and he, too, lost his
life, and last Saturday Mrs. II. Wallace,
formerly Miss DAVIS, of Warsaw, while driy-
ing in company with Mrs. Sanborn, was
thrown out of her buggy and her ankle bad

Compromise Matters.
For some time past the question of right
OF way for the proposed new railroad to be
known as the Minneapolis Eastern, has been
pretty generally discussed throughout the
city. 1t is we'll known that the Minneapolis
q st. Louis folks now possess
the only really desirable route,
and that the only way in which the deserved
route of the new road could be constructed
would be by their running over portion of
the same ground. The matter has been
brought before the city council several times.
but no definite action has as yet been taken
in the matter. This evening the council
hold special meeting for the purpose of
taking such action as will permit this adjust
ment of the relative rights and principles of
the two roads to be put in operation at once.
1t is reported that on yesterday Mr.. J.. B.
Bassett, of the Minneapolis Eastern, and
General Manager Hatch, of the Minneapolis
d ST. Louis road, have agreed upon basis
that it is thought will prove satisfactory to
both corporations.
At the westerly approach of the suspen-
sion bridge the opening will be widened
sufficiently to admit of another track,
at the expense of the new road.
In case this should not prove acceptable,
they propose to make a new opening large
enough for single track. Then the Min
neapolis & st. Louis company will run line
through the new opening, and allow the
other road to use one of their present lines
the one next the river. Just exactly what
will be done in the matter will be deter
mined upon tonight, and the work of lay
ing the track will probably commence in a
few days.

structed six feet high by four and one-half
feet wide, leaving plenty of room about the
sixteen inch main which will be used, for
any changes or repairs that may be required
A shaft will be sunk through the lime
stone rock just in the rear of the west an !.
chorage of the suspension bridge, where the
water main now ends. From it the tunnel
will extend to the river bank,
about 225 feet, just below low water
mark. Across the channel the man will be
laid in the river bed, with fexible-ioint pipe.
The tunnel will be extended under the
island, distance of about six hundred feet,
to the east channel, which will be crossed
with fexible-joint pipe, the
same as the main channel. The
tunnel on the island will have shafts
for mains and hydrants distributed as may
be demanded. On the East Side the con-
tinuation of the tunnel will extend to the
east side of Main street. The entire length
of the tunnel is about 900 feet, and of the
flexible joint pipe about 1000 feet. The
pipe in the tunnel will be 16 inch, b of an
inch in thickness, and the flexible joint pipe
of the same size, but with thickness of "a
of an inch.
The proposals for the tunnel work are to
be opened at the city engineers Office this
afternoon.
