CONGRESS seems is be unable to appease
the rapacity of Capt. Eads. He but recently
received nearly three hundred thousand dol
lars on account of his jetty SYSTEM and now
he is an applicant for half million dollars
on the same account. He appears to be worse

FA1RMoNT, Minn., May 5.-Doubtless you
have read telegraphic accounts of meteor
which passed over northwestern Iowa last
Saturday afternoon. Many of our citizens
saw the fiery ball in its cereal flight and
plainly heard the explosion, the noise re-
sembling the sound of cannon far in the
distanoe.4aT To-night's mail from Estherville,
Iowa, thirty two miles distant from this
Iplsce brings news of the meteor having
sstruck terra frma at point
three miles north of Estherville,
and about four miles from the Minnesota
line.e It descended about three o. clock p. M.
of the 10th inst, and was witnessed by hun
dreds of astonished citizens in that section.
Its first appearance was that of q ball of fire
about the size of a water-pail, passing at
fearful rate ofspeed, and leaving long trail
of black smoke in it's path. The citizens
assembled at once to the place where the
meteor fell, and discovered hole in the
ground fourteen feet across, while the dirt
had been scattered in all directions for twen-
ty rods around. A corps of shOvelers was
at once organized, and the meteor discover
ed fifteen feet below the surface of the
ground. It was about the size of bushel
basket and weighed $50 pounds. Your cor
respondent has just been shown half
pound specimen of the heavenly visitor,
which is in tho possession of the Sentinel,
of this place. It is metallic substance, and
is invulnerable to the strongest acids. 1t is
queer specimen, and is heavier than iron
or any other metals. The owners of the
prize have refused 800 for it, and believe
they have something better than bonanza.

To the Editor of the Globe.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 14.-Allow me to re-
turn thanks in behalf of the children, par
ents and teachers of this city for the gener-
GUS manner in which you have published in
the columns of your paper the articles writ
ten by our citizens in behalf of our educa-
tional discussions. Perhaps facts set forth
in those articles did not bring about any
change in the opinion of the school board,
nevertheless you showed yourself philan-
thropic representative of the female sex,
which is more than we can say
of the editors of the would-be
leading journals published in this
city of St. Paul. Yes, both the papers of
late have been feeding their readers on brag-
ardism about which had the greatest circu-
lation. Both, mean the p. r. and Tribune,
refused space to articles, some of which
have been published in your paper. Query:
Can any one give the reasons, unless per
chance the stockholders were waiting to see
whether it would be policy to advocate the
cause of children and teachers? From the
treatment of our lady teachers to-day on the
retrenchment scheme, il seems that the end
is not yet reached. We are certainly enter
prising citizens in the broadest sense of the
case. Thanking you again for past favors,
remain respectfully yours, CITIZEN.

The Unfair Action Of the minneapolis
To the Editor.of the Globe.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 14.-Permit me to
thank you for your kindness in opening
your columns for discussion of the ques-
ton of reducing teachers salaries. More
gratitude is due from the fact that you
make no pretentions of representing our
city. There are, however, two daily papers
that claim to represent its every interest,
and both have utterly refused to publish
respectfully written communications on
the above named subject. Why they did
50 is probably known to themselves only.
The p. p. makes loud professions of the
t'equal voice" of the editors of each of the
two cities. What that means is shown by
the refusal Of the st. Paul managers to pub.
lish several communications relative to the
action of the board of education in re-
ducing the salaries of teachers. Only such
of those written or forwarded by the
Minneapolis editor, as please the St. Paul
end, ever got into type. Have not learned
that so many we're offered to the Tribune,
but those that were, never appeared, though
taken with promise to that effect. While
We feel humbled that the columns of our
own city papers were closed to our friends
who thought us unjustly dealt with, our
gratitude to the GLOBE for its efforts in
our behalf, is thereby increased. under
stand the board thia afternoon has dscer-
tanned that the lower grade teachers can live by
taking cheap board, and stand the five psr
cent. tax, so that is their vote again.
Thanking you, am gratefully

An unfortunate affair occurred at
Mr.. Carroll Smiths place near town,
OH the morning of 18th inst. 1t
seems that Mr.. George p. Luckett
who was acting as agent for Mr..
Smith, found it necessary to order
EnOch Webb, disorderly and
tur bulent colored man, to leave the
cotton field where he had been en-
gagged to work. Webb refused, using
very insulting and abusive lan>
guage towards Mr.. L., an alteration
ensued, Webb seized Mr.. Luckett
by the left ear with his teeth and
nearly severed it from his head.
Thereupon Luckett, in order to rid
of Webb, altering ordering
him several times TO release his ear,
shot Webb twice with a pocket
revolver. Webb. we understand,
was man of desperate character,
formerly living in Rankin county,
where he was indicted for murder |
several years ago. Webb died OH
the morning of the 10th. Mr.Luckett |
