IN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.

I'm IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
Tomorrow at II o'clock, at the chamber
of commerce in St. Paul, meeting is ap-
pointed by our chamber of commerce of the
com mittee of ten, appointed last Monday.
All persons from Minneapolis and other
Minnesota cities who are interested to con-
suit and confer upon the best ways and
means of protecting st. Paul and Mime
apolis as we'll as every other Minnesota city
from the anaconda policy of the Chicago
system of railroads, are invited to be present.
This system has made Iowa simply back.
yard for Chicago, and prevented the build
ing up of any great city in that State. It il
rapidly buying up railroads, consolidating
it's power in Minnesota to reduce this State
and our principal cities to the same state OF
vassalags.
We understand that prominent citizens OF
Minneapolis will be present at the II O'Clock
conference, aud as the terms of the invita-
ton of the Chamber of Commerce embrace
the st. Paul & Duluth Railroad, st. Paul
Minneapolis d Manitoba R. r., St. Paul &
Sioux City r. r., and the Minneapolis & St.
Louis R. R., it is expected that some or all
of these roads will be represented without
waiting for red tape, special invitations and
regular appointment as committee men.
1t is simply meeting for conference and
consultation upon matters of interest to al
the parties named, and commits nc
one to any policy in advance. What is to be
done is the very matter they meet to confe,
about. Whether it is best to drift along,
every man for himself, and every road and
city for itself, aud become the prey of the
monsters who by consolidation have &C.
quired such devouring capacities, or whether
it is best to mass our forces as cities, as
Minnesotians and as railroads and see if we
cannot build up an independent system OF
transportation of our own, and not occupy
the position of mere dependencies of more
powerful combinations. It has simply
come to the point that Minnesota must
rise and assert herself, and con-
centrate all her forces to defend herself
or her prosperity will be left in the keeping
of Others, her principal cities will be girdIed
and left to pine and pass into the yellow leaf,
while the Chicago anaconda tightens it's coils
around us and brushes out our life.

Storm in LIE SueM7' County.
To the Editor of the Globe.

KAsoTA, LIE Sueur Co., Mimi, July g.
A severe wind and rain storm struck this
place at $50 O'Clock this morning, No
damage was done to buildings save the
blowing in of several doors and windows,
and overturning few outbuildings. Grain
and corn is knocked fiat and it is feared by
all that the damage to crops has been i'm
mense. The storm came from the north
west, and it is supposed that the large fields
west of US have suffered immensely.
KAsoTA, July 5.-The storm which
visited our vicinity on Thursday
morning last did more damage
than was at first suppos ed. While we in the
village suffered the loss of fruit and orna-
mental trees, gardens, fences, etc., our farm
Ct friends Jared great deal worse. The
damage to crops can not at this writing
be estimated. Fences were scattered in ev-
cry direction, and large trees were taken up
by the roots and carried for rods, some fall
ing on the roads, entirely blockading travel
in some places! At lake Emily, two
miles east of here, the storm assumed the
shape of tornado, and in it's fury scattered
destruction on every hand. To sum up the
result of the hurricane, aside from destruc-
ton of crops, is about as follows: Alex. Volk,
house and barn crushed, household goods
nearly all destroyed; damage estimated at
$4,000. Albert Volk, new frame house, large
barn and stave factory destroyed,
and four valuable horses killed;
damage estimated at $4,000.
Fl. Pettis, large barn and granary, contain
ing 300 bushels of wheat, carried into the
lake and demolished; one new buggy de-
molished and a school house, also; damage
estimated at ST. 500. s. B. Carpenter, one
barn destroyed, valued at $500. A. B.
French, one barn, $500. B. Welton, one
barn, $4O0. w. Waterman, barn moved,
tearing basement, ETC., damage 800. A.
Cheadle, barn twisted and unroofod, $50.
Joel Strong and Mrs. School, each houses
unroofed. Sails & Church, millers, engine
smoke stack partly demolished; damage 500.
Henniker mills dam washed away; damage
5000. Geo. E. Case, kitchen smashed and
one horse killed; damage 300.
Aside from damages, as above, Mr.. Peter
son lies dangerously i'll, having been struck
on the back by flying timber; Miss Pet
tbs, each arm broken, and otherwise injured.
Taken all in all it was the worst storm that
ever visited US, and the total dam age cannot
be less than $25,OOO. j. WERaER,

MORAL TURPITUDE,

When Cox, the murderer of Mrs. Hull, was
asked if he was not deeply impressed by the
sermon on ''Torments of the Damned" to
which he was listening at the time of his ar
rest, he replied: 'You don't seem to remem-
Der that go to church always; l always have.
That sermon didn't seem to worry me. I'm
used to 'em. "-E1change.
We clip the above simply for the purpose
of pointing moral. The remark of Cox
was no doubt honest and truthful-made
without any idea of the fact that it contain
cd great moral lesson. We have no doubt
whatever but great many malefactors are
in the habit of attending church, and we
have no doubt they are quite as unimpressi-
bic AZ he. What is the reason, and where
ID the blame2
The pulpit processes to teach morality. II
condemns sin in every form, from the ut
torrance of a white lie to tho crime Of muir

An time how q man can SIT day after day
and year after year and listen to denuncia-
tions of crime, and 60 off and commit the
most heinous of all crimes, without the slight
est conjunction of conscience. It may be
With religious truths and moral precepts as
it ia with other matters---that familiarity
breeds contempt. At any rate, the majority
Of offenders against the moral law are those
who ought to know it best-men who have
been brought up "under the droppings of
the sanctuary"
One of two things is evident: Either
human nature is so perverse that it prefers
to transgress the law rather than obey it, or
the influence of that law is of no effect-the
penalties it threatens are inadequate, or the
source from which it emanates is doubted.
So common have crimes among religious
people become that the first question one
hears after the recital of the particulars of a
forgery, defalcation or murder is: "To what
church did he belong?" We would not
charge that religion has a tendency to slim
ulate crime, for we do not believe it, but it
may be that the constant denunciations of
these sins from the pulpit may lead to that
state OF mind so aptiy and truthfully de-
picted in Pope's familiar quadrian:
''Vice is a monster of such hideous nein.
That, to be hated, needs but to be seen:
But seen too oft, familiar with It's face
We first endure, then pity, then embrace"
However that may be, the fact remains
and the case of Cox is not an exception
that attendance upon the ministrations of
the church does not necessarily carry with it

In A Gaze With the Ljgbts O,tt,
Louisville Letter, June 80.

! A gentleman who has just arrived in the
| city from the cave region gives the following
account of the thrilling adventures of the
teachers and scholars of the Glasgow, Ky.,
Presbyterian church Sabbath school, who
visited the Grand Crystal Avenue cave, at
Glasgow junction, on last Friday. It is the
| custom of the teachers and scholars of the
school to annually visit one of those great
wonders of nature, the caves of Kentucky,
and last Friday morning some sixty happy
children, rarging in age from five years to
ffte. n, accompanied by their teachers and
parents, entered the Grand Crystal Avenue
cave and spent several hours exploring its
great wonders. They reached the river and
Mr.. T. II. Pucket's boat, the Cave Wonder,
landed them safely on the opposite shore,
and on they went, deeply interested in its
enchanted beauties. They had wandered
some five miles in the cave when the terrible
discovery was made that their lights were
about to give out and would not last even
until they should get back to the river.
They retraced their steps Immediately and
did manage to reach the banks of the river,
where they had to sit on its banks for four
hours before the boat put in an appearance.
Fortunately Mr.. Pucket had package of
candles aboard, and the thoroughly fright
ened children, parents and teachers were all
got safely ont of the cave. Their suspense
while waiting III darkness was terrible, as
they did not know where the boat was and
they dare not 60 in search of it, as they
mi ght fall into horrible pits, of which there
were quite number. Altogether, their ex-
perience was q thrilling and never to- be- for
gotten one, and hereafter they will undoubt-
eddy take the precaution to supply them
selves abundantly with lights, and also with
trustworthy guides, while exploring any of
the wonderful caves of Kentucky.

Quite lively time was had in Justice
Hudson's court yesterday. A case of larceny
as bailee against one f. F. Cole was set for
hearing, but there had been a misunder-
standing IN regard to an application for q
continuance, and it was postponed. In the
course OF the argument Mr.. A. s. Trude repre-
senting the woman who claimed to have been
robbed, characterized Mr.. Cole in some for
chile language. The latter Immediately
jumped for Mr.. Trude, struck hlm
IN the face, bent him back over
the table, and kicked him on the
shin. Mr.. Trude replied with his good right
hand countering on the jaw OF his opponent
and sending him to grass in the style laid
down by Fierce Egan and the rules of the
London F. Il. Cole, attempting to renew
the engagement, his forensic antagonist
seized an ink bottle, that being the hardest
weapon at command, and struck Cole in the
face, spelling his beauty temporarily. By
ISLANDERS interfered, and outraged. justice
arose in its might and held Cole to answer
on july 9Th on A. M. to a charge of assault
and battery. Cole then went off in search
of chunk of raw beef to apply to his de-
moralized eye.

HOsc the President and Cabinet Ministers
,UitL Spend the Summer.
| Washington Correspondence to Philadelphia
Press.
In anticipation of the adjournment of
Congress, the President and members of his
cabinet are perfecting arrangements for q
brief recreation during the summer. The
President, with his family, will leave the ex-
ecutive mansion Immediately after the adj
journment, and will occupy one of the COM
Portable residences at the Soldiers Home in
the vicinity of this city. It has been the
custom of Presidents since the founding of
the Home to occupy one of these buildings.
President Buchanan was the first to estab-
lish the custom, and divided his summers
between his residence there and Bedford
Springs. President Lincoln also MAZE his
summer residence at the Home. President
Grant preferred the seashore, invariably
spending his summer at Long Branch, where
he owned commodious cottage. Owing to
the extra session the President has been pre-
vented from carrying out his trip to the Pa
citic Coast, but contemplates doing SO during
the autumn.
Secretary and Mrs. Evarts, with
their daughter Minnie will, short
ly after the adjournment, leave
for Windsor, VT, the Secretary, how
ever, remaining there only few days. He
expects to remain in Washington until at
least the first week in August, to complete
important business, when he will again re-
turn to Windsor, where he will remain until
the LIST of October, unless sooner recalled to
the capital. The young ladies of the fami-
ly, Misses Le tie and Louisa, are now absent
from the city enjoying visit to their friends
and attending commandments.
Secretary Sherman's family are now in
Europe, and the Secretary himself will re-
main here most of the summer, it is pre-
sumed, to work up his Presidential cam
paign.
Secretary McCrary will occupy the Home
stead, at the Soldiers Home, with his wife,
but his children will spend the summer in
Iowa.
Secretary Thompson says that after the
adjournment he will take his departure for
Indiana, and spend his vacation on his farm.
Secretary Schurz will 60 to Deer Park.
Postmaster General Key proposes to spend
the greater portion of the summer in the
mountains of Tennessee.
Attorney General Devens will divide his
time between here and New England, spend
ing most of it, however, in this city.
