Ton LAwToN. Lorentz, stock ranch
or in Pine Valley, relates rather singular
incident that took place at his house last eek
A small man, of rather intelligent counten-
ance and mucl suavity of manner, rode up to
his barn late in the afternoon and asked for
supper. 1t was furnished to him and he
lounged around the place for two or three
hours, having his horse fed and resting the
animal. He then saddled up and rode up to
the loor, thanked Mr.. Lorentz for his hos
pitahty, and asked him if he had ever heard
of Tom Lawton. On receiving reply in the
affirmative he laughingly remarked, "Well, ]
am Tom Lawton," and clapping spurs to his
horse he rode off The statement was re-
garded as joke and no attention paid to it,
The next morning, when Mr.. Lorentz dis
covered that the fellow had exchanged an old,
WORKOUT saddle for brand new one that he
had left in the barn, he was willing to swear
that, while the traveller might have been Jest
ing in regard to his being the Sacramento
murderer, there was no possible doubt of his
being an internal thief Eureka Leader.

1AW1Ess IND HOSTILE ACT.

1t is well known that an effort has been
Tor some time in progress to secure the re-
moval of the st. Paul q Sioux City railroad
shops to st. Paul. 1t was proposed to To-
cate them in the upper part of the city
above the point where the railroad bridge
crosses the river. For this purpose negoti-
atoms are in progress to secure certain land
to be donated by the city to the Sioux City
company. That company has also been en-
gagged in running lines for tracks to their
proposed shops, the construction Of about q
mile of road being necessary.
While all this was in progress, it appears
that the Milwaukee q ST. Paul road has been
Matching some scheme Of their own. just
what this scheme is, time will more fully de-
velop, but that it is hostile to st. Paul can
readily be inferred, both from what has al
ready been done and from the general policy
of that road, which has been uniformly in
imical to this city. An organization styled
the Minneapolis C st. Paul company was
hastily mapped out, and at o'clock yester-
day morning large force of men were set at
work grading upon the surveyed line
Of the ST. Paul & Sioux City road.
Ostensibly the object is build short
line to Minneapolis. It is evident, however,
that something more than this is contemplate
ed, as no illegal, midnight onslaught would
have been necessary for fair transaction.
1t looks very much like an effort to prevent
st. Paul from securing the machine shops
which have been contemplated. It is GER
tainly an Enfriendly moYeto this city, in any
event.
We would gently hint to the Milwaukee
q st. Paul company that it would be we'll to
be g little careful in their proceedings.
They can very easily provoke war of retail
alton on the part of st. Paul. This city has
given outright one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to induce them to run
through the city and locate their shops and
their business at Minneapolis. That COM
pany is strong and powerful, but St. Paul
can, with united effort, prove herself stron-
ger and more powerful. That corporation
has always treated this city with enmity, not
even vouchsafing decent passenger or freight
depots, Or locating them where they accom-
modate the public. While We should re-
greet to see actual hostilities, an open war is
much to be preferred to the ex-
isting condition of affairs. So long
as this city tamely submits, SO
long will st. Paul receive nothing but indig-
nifty and unfair treatment. It is about time
to don the war paint and compel the recog-
milton which justice and decency should
long since have accorded US.

New YORK, Dec. 10.-A conference was held
yesterday between General Appraiser Ketchum
and the kid glove importers, in obedience to
instructions from the treasury department., to
obtain the views of the importers on the pro-
posed substitution of specific for ad valorem
duties on kid gloves. General Ketchum said
the meeting had been called to see whether the
leather glove importers could agree upon spe
cifc duties, the government favoring any sys-
tenn of specific duties which would return it
revenue equal to that received now from ad va
loren duties.
Some Importers advocated specific duty as
the surest way to prevent repetition of the
present difficulties. Others urged that spe-
cific duty without regard to value
would entirely stop the importation
OF IoT dnI?sa + gloves and if adopted
of the duties. A vote on the ques-
ton, Would you oppose a specific duty of $4
dozen, all around, without regard to size or
material?' showed fourteen importers in the
affirmative and five in the negative Eleven
importers We're opposed to specific duty of
$3, and eight were in favor Of it.
Nine importers opposed specific duty of
$3.50, all around, and ten favored it. A pro.
posed duty of go a dozen, all around, was op-
posed by five importers and fourteen favored
it. Ten were opposed to a mixed duty, nine
IN favor, and one declined to vote. Eleven
dlssented from proposition for duty of
$l.5O dozen and an advalorem duty of 20 per
cent, and nine favored it. A vote against dis
elimination III duties between gloves of differ
ent lengths was unanimous. A second vote on
specific duty of So dozen received only two
negative Votes. Gen. Ketchum stated he would
report the result OF the conference to Was hing
ton, together with some views Of his own.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-A meeting Of the men,

this afternoon to take action, in view Of the
determined effort now being made to secure
impeachment proceedings against Judge Blod-

following resolutions were adopted and signed
by Hon. Writ Dexter, Hon. Chas. B. Lawrence.

Harrison and to the Illinois representatives in
Congress, and was forwarded this evening:
GENTLEMEN: We understand Messrs
Kincker, Cooke, Sheldon and Cooper, attorneys
OF this city, are urging the presentation of
resolutions for the impeachment OF Judge
Blodgett. Ii we are accurately informed in
respect to the supposed cause of the complaint
against Judge Blodgett it grows out of tn e
performance of a duty imposed upon him by
law in his relations to the late grand Jury The
office held by Judge Blodgett is public estate
OF vast Importance, and to have the unjust
charges against him given currency to
To the citizens Of Illinois, particularly, it will
be dlsgraceful to have it reported throughout
the land that gentleman who for many years
has been discharging the most important judi
clal functions in their midst is found unfit for
the office and deserves impeachment.
We think we are not uisinformed but speak
the conviction Of informed members in the
profession when we say Judge Blodgett's career
as judge has been marked by integrity abil-
ity and exceeding industry, and is entirely ac-
ceptable to the best men of the profession, and
that all attempts to iInpeach would be found
to proceed either from personal grievances or
mistaken opinion and are sure to result in a.
most dismal failure.
Having in mind the credit and reputation of
the profession in which our life is cast, as we'll
as the general credit of the city and State, of
which you are also guardians, we hope your
influence will be used to protect both from this
threatened scandal.
OF course, we cannot know the various pre-
lenses which those engaged in this business
may resort to as basis Of their movement but
we do assure you that if our members in Con
gress will communicate the specific charges
brought against Judge Blodgett, we will under
take that the profession and citizens Of Chica-
CO. who know the judge, will furnish truth
full explanation and absolute refutation thereof
with all reasonable speed.

Densmore and recommending its confrma-

tract confirmed.
Aid. Grace moved to omit that referring
to Iglehart street. He thought it an impo-
sitlon to make parties there pay for this
work this winter, as they were already called
upon to pay for the grading. He believed it
might be advantageously postponed until
spring.
Aid. Griggggs said he had never heard any
opposition to the sidewalks before, and he
represented that part of the city.
Aid. Grace Withdrew his opposition on the
assurance of Aid. Griggs that he had the
money without interest for the payment of
the assessment for this improvement.

Aid. Allen urged that the request be grant
ed. The business men of this city had
formed union to advance the interests of
this city, and this matter was addressed to
| the council as union interested in the vel
fare of the city's business. He recited the
amount of work it would bring, and claimed
that in no sense would 1t be nuisance. He
urged immediate action.
Aid. Dowlan believed it would be good
thing, and didn't feel inclined to oppose it,
| unless it became nuisance.
Aid. Sanborn did not think the council
could take action now. The ordinance re-
| quired that the applicant should give
a weeks notice in newspaper OF
his petition. He believed that the
| request should be granted if no nuisance
was created.
Mr.. Mcmillan gave full explanation of
the matter. He showed that no offal would
be left to create stencil. Every part Of the
slaughtered hogs were used, nothing was
| left.
Aid. Rhodes said no action could be taken
until the weeks notice was given.
Thereupon Aid. Griggs moved to adjourn.

Through the Zee.

A party of our citizens, to the number of
eighteen, attended chapter meeting of the
Free Masons held at Hudson on Monday
evening. On their return, when they arrived
at the Baytown ferry landing, Mr.. Judd Orff,
who was driving the front wagon, which
contained nine occupants, thought the ice
sufficiently strong to cross, instead of res
turning by way of the bridge. He had not
driven 200 feet from the shore when the
horses and the forward wheels of the wagon
went through the ice. The startled inmates
Of the wagon quickly got out on to the solid
ice, and, finding no one injured or drowned,
proceeded to extricate the horses from their
difficulty. It is supposed that the tie-strap
Or lines got wound around one horses neck,
for he strangled in short time. Mr.. Orff
cut the harness from tho other horse and
succeeded in keeping him up for over an
hour, bat not having the proper means to
get him out, the horse soon succumbed to
the cold and exposure. The horses were
handsome pair of blacks, owned by Mr.. Orff,
and valued at 5000.
A party of gentlemen went down to the
scene Of the accident yesterday and brought
up the wagon, harness and robes.

If the st. Paul and Minneapolis people

are to be peopled and developed, and the
