ST. CToix Falls Railroad Convention

/ The convention met on Wednes
day afternoon, Sept. 18th. About
$50 delegates were present, the
great majority being from St. Croiz
Falls, TaYlor's Falls, Osceola aud
the country towns in their vlciuilies
The only Lake Superior representa-.
tives were S. S. Fiheld and w. II.
Tomkins, of Ashland; |. W. Gates,
Geo. w. Perry and James Bardon,
of Superior. / II. Wing, OF Bay
field, was present but only as q
spectator. Saltwater and Min.
neapolis were the only other points
represented, each by four or five
delegates.
William NJ. Blanding OF St Croiz
Falls, was chosen chairman, and
James Bardon, Of Superior, sccre-
tary.
Judge Gates, of Superior, intro
duced a resolution fayoring the ex-
tension of the Northern pacihc
trunk line along the south shore
OF Lake Superior to n connection
at the Sault with the Canadian
system Of railroads, which was,
after considerable spcochmal,ing-
voted down. Judge Gates, 1lr.
Perry and Mr.. Fifeld made strong
fight III behalf Of the resolution, bIt
it was OF no avail, as the sentiment
OF the meeting was largely in favor
OF an air line from St. Croix Falls
to the Sault. A resolution was pre-
sented looking to the organization
OF a company to build this latter
line, which was carried by an over
whelming majority.
We have not space this week fo!
the resolutions, but will give them
next week.
1t was very plain the people of
that country DO not want q con
nection with Lake Superior at all.
They evidently desire to steer rs
clear Of the lake as possible.
They seem to prefer an imprac,ic-
able line 500 miles long, without a
land grant and through an unset
tied country, to land grant road
along the south shore Of Lake
&uperlor, through tho pine forests
and mines, which they could tap at
the waters Of the lake, with short
lines from 90 to 800 miles in length,
and which would give them the
advantages of a water outlet at
least one half the year. II is clear
they have no sympathy with the
northern water or rail routes, and
If those who attended from Lake
Superior had known as much a
week ago as they learned at the
convention, they would probably
have saved themselves the hard
ships and expense of several hun
dred miles of travel, aud staid at

A Sewing Girls Romance.

A sewing girl in this city, writes a
Springfield { (Mass.1 correspondent, has
had romantic experience that is, worth
the telling. Several months ago a man
at Dubuque, Ia, advertised in an eastern
Massachusetts paper for wife. Among
the swarm Of answers which lie received
were two from two girls in this city, who
replied just for the fun of the thing
One OF them represented herself as a
young widow, and her lively account of
herself and her circumstances was verv
largely fictitious, especially that which
told (very incidentally, as if it was of
no consequence of the snug sum of
money left her by the dear departed.
She never expected to hear of the matter
again, but that was the one letter out of
all the advertiser received which struck
his fancy. He wrote to the supposed
"widcw" (who, in fact had neve: been
married, and who.was then earning her
living with her needlc); photographs
were exchanged; the letters grew more
afectioDate, until the young woman, re-
alizing that the affair was no longer a
joke, wrote to her new found admirer and
told him frankly Of her humble circum-
stances.
OF course he admired her even more
and at Last came from Dubuque t. this
city to claim her for bis bride. Instead
of the sleek and intelligent looking and
manly individual whom she had expected
from bis letter and his photograph, what
was her vexatton to see aperson decided.

months ago.. The couple have a child
about two years age, which was left with
the mother at the time Of the separation.
Several times lately McQuiston attempted
to got possession Of tho little one, but
each of his efforts was frustrated by the
ohild's mother. Yesterday afternoon he At
tempted the abduction again, but an alarm
was raised by the mother, and the police
frightened the father away. He hovered
around the place, however, until about 4
