road through. He had little sholding''
without mortgage, and he did not wish to
try to put upon his neighbours back bur-
den ne cannot carry. Let the rich men
build the railroad.
Mr.. Bottineau was called upon.
Thls brought Mr.. Glenn to his feet. It
was meeting of working men only. He did
not wish it said that the hall was packed.
He wanted the vote to be an uninfuenced
one of the working men.
1t was determined by vote to hear Mr..
Bottineau, who spoke at considerable length
advising negative vote, because the people
have not time to think about it. He thought
there was some cause for appointing the
election day so early, even eight days before
the regular election.
Mr.. Gurten objected to the people build
ing roads for other parties. Eastern roads
were built on their merits, the Western roads
by bonuses. In Michigan roads were built
by mortgages on farms and the farmers had
to pay in the end. Railroads have already
all the public lands and now they want q
bonus. If they wanted loan he had no
objection. There are other things would be
public benefit, but no one would have the
bare face to ask the people FOR money 10
build them up. The traders and real estate
people would be benefited, but none others.
He objected to give money to private people
for private enterprise. He did not think it
benefit to the laborer to give a bonus to
get work at $1.5O q day. He
did not think the working men
would be benefited five cents even while the
work was going on, and they would be worse
off after all, as the surplus laborers would be
thrown back on the city. In Gods name,
let those who are anxious for the road
put their hands in their pockets
and build it. 1t has been said the working
man has no property; then he has no right
to vote another mans property away. His
speech was met with immense cheers.
Mr.. Hodsdon spoke in favor of the bonds.
Michael Murray thought the road would
benefit the workingman, while Mr.. Smith
had exactly the opposite opinion.
E. A. Cramsie, who had vacated the chair
for the purpose, spoke in favor of taxing the
city for the railroad.
Aid. Waitt was strongly opposed to it, and
in his opinions he was backed up by Prof.
Krech.
M. w. Glenn favored the bonds, as of
course did Messrs. Harwood and Bassett. f.
McDermott also was for the measure.
1t appeared evident that it was the desire
of the bond men to spread out the meeting
till the workingmen had gone home, and it
was not till nearly midnight that they al
lowed the question to be put, and as none but
members of the union could vote, only four
teen of those present were entitled, and of
these eight were in favor and six against
On the motion of E. Cranosie the vote was
then made unanimous, and the meeting ad.
jOurned.

WAsHBURN'S WORRY.

Conclusion of the Testimony Which Con-
firms D0nnelly's Claims.
The testimony nominally for respondent
in the Donnelly Washburn contest was re-
sumed yesterday before J. G. Woolley. Re-
spondent's counsel offered in evidence the
authority given by Mr.. Donnelly to Messrs.
ORrien & Eller to appear for him as agents
and attorneys in this contest. They also Of
fered in evidence certified copy of the bill
passed by the legislature of the State of
Minnesota, on March 5, 1877, entitled an act
to amend section six of title three of chapter
four of Bissel's statutes at large relating to
elections.
Also certified copy from the secretary of
state of abstract of votes cast in the Third
Congressional district on November 5, 1878,
was offered
Also the affidavit of Samuel Olson, of Elk
Lake, Grant county, on November 5, 1873,
was submitted.
The commission then adjourned sine die.

ELI PERKINS, in recent letter, gave ut
terance to this predictions:
Mark my words for it, before the election for
the next President President Hayes will be as
radical as Grant. Every negro in Mississippi
will be allowed to vote at the next election if it
takes regiment of soldiers in each county.
If Eli was not so much of fool he would
understand that every negro in Mississippi
will be allowed to vote at the next election,
but the soldiers will have nothing to do with
it, and if Hayes sends a regiment, or any
number of regiments, into the State, they
will be promptly put in the calaboose, and
Hayes will be fortunate if he does not keep
them company.

LADIES' Caucus.

meeting of ladies interested in the
election of members of the board of edu-
cation was called to meet at Association
hall yesterday morning, but only seventeen
ladies responded to the call. Mrs. Anderson
was elected president, and Mrs. Chapin,
secretary. The president, Mrs. Anderson,
stated that the object of the meeting was to
select two candidates, one from the First
and the other from the Third ward,
who would fill the vacancies caused
by the r"tiring of Mr.. Charles Simpson
and A. G. Austin, whose terms of
office expires in the spring. The question
of electing women as members of the board
was spoken of and seemed to meet with ap-
probation, the necessity of electing persons
who have some idea of education, and that
idea broad view of the matter, was made
the subject of remarks. The meeting then
adjourned, to meet on Tuesday afternoon at
4:3O o'clock, at the same place, and it is
hoped that a larger number of those inter-
ested will attend.

The pine land gang are terribly disgrunt-
led by the appointment of DR.. Stewart as
Surveyor General. They are making des-
perate effort to defeat his confirmation. and
rely upon Senator Window to aid them.
Window being one of the gang will doubt
less do his best, but his tactics should not be
allowed to deceive Democratic Senate. The
appointment of DIR. Stewart gives very gen.
eral satisfaction, and his only opponents are
those who wish to steal pine of The govern
ment. If the Senate wishes to strike fatal
blow at the pine land thieves it will prompt

derlie true morality and religion are not even
remotely limited at, and after the reading is
completed one lays down the book with
feeling akin to that experienced after awak
ening from terrible nightmare. The good
characters it depicts are pictured as truly
angelic-too good to live-and generally be-
fore the story closes they are sent to heaven
in perfect fervor of ecstatic joy. The bad
boy is represented as very bad-far worse
than the gamin we meet in every day life,
and he lives to grow up to be wealthy and
continue to be wicked till judgment from
heaven overtakes him and he is gathered into
the fold. It is no wonder that a little chap,
after listening to the reading of one of these
books, exclaimed to his mother: ''Ma, 1
don't want to te good and die, and be
carried up to heaven by the angels.
I'd rather be wicked and live a long time and
have lots of fun.' The child but expressed
natural feeling, suggested by the difference
in the careers of the characters pictured in
the book.
1t is about time that this trashy, unreal,
debasing literature was driven from the Sab
bath school, and better grade substituted.
There is no lack of instructive and enter
tanning sketches, which convey religious
principles and moral ideas, to fill up the
shelves. Tales of travel and adventure, a
few works of fiction, juvenile histories, and
the class of sketches published in st. NicA-
olas would be decided improvement. They
would not only interest but instruct, and
CRATE thirst for knowledge that would bear
fruit in after years, by making men and
women of good judgment, unwarped by mar
row theological creeds, yet understanding
and acting upon the broadest principles of
Christianity. Who will start such reform!
No one need fear the results. The change
will give us race of sturdier men and
women, who do right from right principle,
not from fear of eternal fire and birthstone.
They will be stronger intellectually, for their
minds will not have been impaired by the
diluted theological slops that are contained
in the Sunday school libraries of the present
day.

she bolted the door. After pounding at the
door he finally went to side door and
gained admission. He made several in
decent proposals to her, and then seizing
her around the waist, threw her on the bed,
and attempted to outrage her. She screamed
and fought until her cries attracted the at
tention of passer by, who came to the door
and enqulred the occasion of the row. Ken
nedy then left the house by the rear door.

The Rev. MIR. Vosburg is prosecuted
saint-sorely prosecuted. He was the pas
tor of Baptist church at Jersey City for
several years. and so conducted himself that
he was arraigned before the courts under an
Indictment for trying to poison his wife,
His congregation stood by him and he was
acquitted. He suddenly disappeared, how
ever, and it was feared that he had made
away with himself. But he didn't do any
such thing, but went out to Dakota, where
he has just re-appeared as plaintiff in di-
vorce suit against his wife, whom he charges
with cruel and inhuman treatment, which
principally consists in circulating stories
that he had attempted to poison her, thus
causing his trial. Vosburg was truly bad
ly abused man, but if the hangman had got
hold of him as he deserved, he might have
had still better grounds for divorce, and
wouldn't have had to travel fifteen hundred
miles to secure it.

the following account Of the outbreak among
the political prisoners last month: "Persons
under arrest in the kietf prison resolved some
time ago to tunnel under the walls and escape.
Tie scheme was betrayed by one Of the couspir-
ators. The authorities allowed the prisoners to
continue the excavation. When the tunnel was
completed, and the prisoners had entered 1t, one
after the other, intending to come up through
soldiers previously posted at the opening shot
the escaping prisoners as they came up.' When
the bulk of the prisoners, terrified By the
noise of the firing, stopped and remained
in tho tunnel, soldiers were sent in
from behind, and the unfortunate wrctchcs,
caught between tWo fires, we're all shot down.
The proceeding seemed to give the officials
much amusement, and the Director Of the KieG
prison was praised and decorated for having
acted with such cieycrness and decision"

with this is the statement published by the
