The United States ton dollar refunding cor
tifioates on sale at the postoffice are going off
like het cakes. Since Monday nearly 81, 200
worth have beeu disposed of. The people, and
by the term is meant those not possessed of
bonanza wealth, are seeking this investment
for their little savings with avidity. It is
surer than savings banks. They fail though
offering greater interest. The certificates, af-
fording secure investment at low rate of
interest to be sure, will eventually teach the
people that all money lenders should come
down from their IL and IS per cent. usury.
Mr.. John Erickson, well known citizen who
resided on Collins street, near the Lincoln
| school, was buried yesterday. He died, after a
sickness of only few hours. ON Thursday
| morning about 2 o'clock. The afternoon
previous he was in Minneapolis, returning
home about o'clock. Shortly after his ar
rival home he was seized with dizziness, from
which he died. Death from the attack waf
wholly unsupported, even up to the moment OF
his demise, almost. DR.. Walthers was in at
tendance. being summoned some little time
after the sudden and mysterious attack.
The hotel runners are reaping harves
among the present immigrants. The strange
is beset most forcibly with their hospitality
even to the peril of life or limb. Yesterda,
morning when the G., M. & st. Paul train got il
a family of strangers were hustled tremend
ously by this gang of ruffiians-hotel runners
In the midst of the melee, s. s. Merrill, mana
ger of the road, who was on the train, rushe
to the rescue of the late patrons of his road
and grabbing the St. Paul house runner by tn
throat, shook him hustily. This treatmen
alarmed the rest of the gang, and the passen
gers escaped their clutches, thanks to the in
reference.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

A Woman Fleeing from Her Husband At
tempts to Take Her Life in St. Paul.
Intelligence was received by Captain Clark
last midnight that an attempt at suicide by
poisoning had been made by woman resid-
ing on st. Peter near the corner of Tenth
street. A GLOBE reporter, in company with
that official and Chief Weber, visited the local
ity designated, and after considerable inquiry
elected the information that Mrs. Dens-
more, residing at No. 142 st. Peter
street, had attempted to take her life by
the use of a large quantity of laudanum.
The party at once repaired to the residence,
and found Mrs. Densmore lying upon the
bed quite i'll, admitting to having drank the
poison, the only reason given for the rash
act being, "because she wanted to-" The
woman was attended bya young man named
Alfred Guerin, who called at the house
about 8 o'clock in the evening, and, discov-
ering that Mrs. Densmore was i'll, proceeded
at once to summon doctor, the cause of
her sickness being at that time unknown.
DIR. Boardman was summoned, who per-
ceived that the woman had taken laudnaum
Proper remedies being given to counteract the
effect of the poison, in a short time the
patient was out of danger. The case is an
unusually sad one, and the attempt at sui
eide was undoubtedly the result of frustrated
hopes and subsequent restitution.
Mrs. Densmore is young woman about
rs years of age, and the mother of year
old boy, having only resided in this city
about three weeks, whittier she came from a
town situated on the line of the Sioux City
railroad, from which she is said to have fled
to escape the prosecutions of a brutal hus-
band. She was resting easy at midnight
and no doubts are entertained of her speedy
recovery

The Route Determined On-Bridge Con-
tract Let-Work to Begin Next Week.
The presence of S. s. Merrill, General
Manager, and John G. Gault, Assistant Man
ager of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul road, in the city led a GLOBE reporter to
look for news, as usual. Mr.. Merrill was cor
rallied at the Merchants last evening, and
with some purpose. The fact was readily
elected that the route for the new line to
Minneapolis has been agreed upon and the
So called short line taken. This line requires
some heavy work and is quite expensive.
The sshort line' has its beginning at the
Union depot and runs along the banks OF
the river until the foot of Chestnut street is
reached. At this point it may be said to
leave the city, following a curved course in
clined towards the river flats, until the
vicinity of the House of the Good Shepherd
is reached. Thence its course
bears up towards Fort street, crossing what
is known as John Hollands place. The line
the second bench is made up ravine to
Ayd's mill. Summit avenue is crossed near
frame building on Ramsey's farm,
or near the edge of the
woods. The road debouches from the
woods at point nearly opposite the Club
house, and bears off towards the old st.
Anthony road, crossing this last named at
Merriam's farm. From this point the
course is air line to the foot of Meeker's
Island, where the road crosses the MISSISSIPPI
pi river. At this point branch line IS to be
built up to the depots, mills, etc., of East
Minneapolis. The line forms junction
with the present road on the West Minneap-
o1is side at the rOund- house.
This new line traverses beautiful section
of the country, both from farming and
Landscape view. The road will pass withir
short distance of the State Reform
school, the Driving park and State Fair
grounds. McAllister college, the Catholic
Industrial school and the State university
are also within stone throw distance of tn
road. In passing through Col. Merriam
farm it strikes site adapted in all respect
for a Union fair ground, exactly between st
Paul and Minneapolis. -Four routes wer
surveyed and this one has been selected a
the best under all circumstances.
The bridge over the Mississippi at Meek
er's island will be l42 feet above the bed o
the river and between eight and nine hun
dred feet long. It will be an iron structur
costing $145,OO0, and the contract has bee
let to Shaler Smith, of the Baltimore Bird G
works. There have been four bids made fc
the remainder of the work, and Mr.. Me-
rill will open them to-day and draw til
contract Work will be commenced ne1
week, but owing to it's heavy character it
not likely that the line will be completed b.
fore the LIST of November and possibly late
The distance will be almost nine miles fro
depot to depot.
