HALsrEDs HAUL.

1t is Made at the Expense of Nimrod Ro-
senfeld, who Proposes to Haul Halsted
Before the Court.
TIE clerk of the municipal court issued q
warrant, yesterday, as long IS your arm. It
recited, with an immense amount of repeti-
ton, that one VIM. G. Halated had embezzled
$5 in greenbacks and 81 in silver coin from
Nimrod Rosenfeld. This is boiled down
statement of the legal allegations omittine
only the date, March 18th, of the embezzle-
ment. Rosenfeld is liquor dealer, and Hal
sted has been travelling salesman and collect
or for him.
The way the grip was caught on Halsted
seems to have been as follows: He went over
to Wisconsin to do little collecting; he did .
little, and reported in other cases that they'd
pay next week. They were dunned next week,
and responded that they had paid Halsted
was asked about it, and confessed to having
accumulated . little by false representations to
bis employer. Figuring up his loss, Rosen-
field could only account for $12, and put it up
against his clerk. Halsted confesses In fact to
$25.26; now that he's found out he wants to be
accurate.
On the long complaint and supplemental war
rant Halsted was arrested by Officer Dowlan,
and run into the station. Soon after his inn
prisonment friends bestirred themselves and
induced Roeenfeld to Withdraw tho complaint,
and Halsted was released. The interest taken
in Halsted at the cost of $28 or more was
caused by his wife, who, besides being q devot-
ed woman TO her erring husband, was in such q
physical and mental condition that separation
from her husband under the circumstances
might be fatal to two lives.

RAILR0AD RUPrURE.

The Stockholders Of the Central Railroad
OF Minnesota Disagree with the Directors
Proposition for Lease of Track Rejected
Lake Crystal.
Among the railroad enterprises to be carried
to completion the present season is that of the
blue Earth City brarch of the st. Paul Sioux
City company. This enterprise has been con-
templated for several years past. but it was not
until last season that work was begun, when
fifteen miles of the road bed was graded north
from Blue Earth City, and the remainder of the
line located with two terminal points one at
Good Thunder station, on the Central of Min
nesota, twelve miles from Mankato, and the
other ut Lake Crystal, on its main line about
the same distance from Mankato, but requiring
six more miles of new road to reach than the
Good Thunder terminus.
In expectation of building this branch, the
st. Paul d Sioux City company extended GER
tain aid to the Central Minnesota company
when constructing its line. in consideration of
Wnlcn 1ne nist named company was granted
the use of the Central line from Good Thunder
into Mankato upon terms agreed upon, the st.
Paul company being given year to avail
themselves of the contract. Unfortunately the
hard times interposed to prevent the construc-
tion of the Blue Earth City branch 1T that
sAme, SuO tno OenGr1l OptlOn expired.
Thus matters stood between thotwo compan-
les when the st. Paul company commenced work
last season upon the Blue Earth City branch.
Being desirous, all things else being equal
to use the shorter, or Good Thunder line, the
st. Paul company last fall made . proposition
to the Central company for lease of its en-
tire line from Manksto to Wells, q distance of
IS miles. The proposition was accepted by tho
board of directors of the Central company,
and, as was reasonable, the st. Paul company
had no thought but that acceptance would be
endorsed by the stockholders. But it seems
the st. Paul folks were mistaken in their sup
position, for at a meeting of the stockholders
at the Merchants yesterday, it was decided to
reject the proposition.
The result will be, as Gen. Bishop informed
the reporter. that the st. Paul company will
build their branch to Lake Crystal, either by
way of Garden City or Butter6eld's mill, the
distance being the same in either case. thirty
four niles. The company have all arrange
ments made for promptly completing the
branch, even to the purchase of the iron, some
of which is already on the way. Work will
commence in good earnest as soon a. the frost
is out of the ground, and in q few short
months the people of Blue Earth City and sur
rounding country can pay visit to st. Paul
without going around Robin Hoods barn via
the Southern Minnesota road to get here.

Congressional Contest Abandon

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
MADISON, April Sit has been rumored here
for some days thatthe contesting of the seat of
Hon. George Hazleton, member of Congress
from the Third district, by Owen King, Demo-
cratic Greenback opponent, had been with
drawn until the January session, aud perhaps
permanently. The reason for this step has be-
come apparent by examination of the election
returns of Grant county in the secretary of
state Office, that the clerk and eanvassers of that
county had made an error IN Mr.. Kings favor
of 100, Mr.. Hazelton's vote being certified to
at 8, ,245 when by figuring up the votes by
towns it was shown to be 3,345, thus emitting
that gentleman to 100 more votes than he had
previously received, and making his actual ma
jority 200 instead Of 100. This fact becoming
known to Mr.. King he immediately abandoned
the contest.
ABOUT 400 Canadian emigrants with their
baggage, constituting train of some sixteen
cars, passed through here on the Chicago &
Northwestern railway to-day bound for Mani
teba Other trains will leave Canada on the
Sd, 10th and 18th of this month bound for the

A Meeting in Its Interest ut tho Merchants
Last Evening--A Determined Effort to
BE Made to Secure the EARLY Building Of
the Road.
Quite an important railroad meeting took
place at the Merchants hotel last night.
Several met informally who are interested in
the st. Cloud q Nankato railroad to discuss
the prospects, and devise ways and means to
add this important link to the general rail-
road system of the State. Among those
present were Senator Bonniwell, Messrs.
Willard. F. II. Dam, Mankato; Stephens,
of st. Cloud, Jacob Kountze, Speaker G. A.
Gilman, N. r. Clark and others.
The discussion evinced settled determi-
nation to build the road. Reports were many,
favorable and even enthusisstio for the con-
struction Of the road. The meeting was in
formal in nature, but enough was learned TO
arrive at the conclusion that the people
wanted, demanded the road. The parties
present apportioned among themselves the
work to be done to further the purposes in
view. A thorough canvass of the country
through which it is proposed to run
the road will be made. The question
Of bonus will be advocated
and proper representations be made as to
the desirabllity of the road. Inquiry will be
extended to the Northwestern and other
roads, of which this can be made connect
ing link, rs to what they can or will do in
the premises.
Senator Bonniwell gave an account of the
enthusiasm with which the project was re-
ceived in his section of the country. He
concluded his remarks by mentioning the
importance of the road, and urged that
strenuous efforts be made to inaugurate the
road and push it to a speedy accomplishment
His remarks met with unanimous approval
The meeting adjourned with full sense Of
the Importance Of the road, and determi
nation to work for it. It will be remember
ed that the act authorizing the construction
of this road was the only railroad bill whicl
was passed during the last legislature.

alluded to the man who was under training
of the bondholders for the next Presidential

THE CHICAGO ELECTION.

Importance Of the Democratic Tict0ru--
National Issues Forced bv the Stal,carts
at Washfnqton.
LChicago Times Independently I'd.
The result of yesterdays election is a ter
ribie blow to Republican hopes. On the
part of Wright and his hackers the contest
was fought on national issues on the part
of Harrison local questions were made para
mount. The Republicans forced the fight
ing. Early and late their speakers dwelt on
the Importance of carrying Chicago for the
sake of its effect on the coming Presidential
campaign. The ensanguined neither garment
was Haunted as never before. 1t was every
where announced, "by this sign we
conquer, or 60 to our political grave.'' To
such an extent were national questions
forced to the front that the politicians in
Washington became intensely interested in
the contest, and even such prominent lead
ers in the party as Blaine and Conkling
sent word that Republican victory in Chi
cago would give tho keynote to tie pending
national campaign. and that defeat here
would cast gloom over the whole party.
The battle on the "bloody shirt" issue has
been fought and lost. There can be little
doubt that the decision of the people in this
city will have its effect on the managers of
the party at large, and that the CORY gar
ment will for time be hung on the fence
fer bleaching.
By making the fight on national issues,
the Republican managers thought they could
force the Democracy into similar attitude,
but in this they slgnally failed. The only
national feature that could be observed in
the Democratic camp was Carter's famous
'eagle," and it still roosts aloft. Other
wise Mr.. Harrison and the party he repre-
sented confined themselves exclusively to
local issues, and in this they showed their
wisdom. In large measure the result is q
rebuke to the Republican management of the
campaign. In the first place for forcing
national issues into an important municipal
campaign; and, in the second place, because
of the nature of that issue. Scores of Re
publicans voted for Mr.. Harrison yesterday
for no other reason than that they were
determined to forcc q change of national
issues on their party. In this way they have
no doubt succeeded, and thereby they have
done their party signal service.
The vote cast on yesterday was a large
one, probably the largest ever polled in 8
purely municipal election in this CITY. II
demonstrates that the Republican party il
anything but unit on national issues; that
the Democratic party is once more .'solid,' ,
and that the communistic horde is still
receiving accessions, though the expecta-
tions announced during the canvass were
not realized. The vote is larger than here
tofore, but not SO large as they believed they
had reason to expect.
The entire city Democratic ticket is elect
ed. There are also Democratic gains in ths
council, and the upshot is that Chicago il
now Democratic city, the communistis
vote demonstrating that gains in that direc
ton means loss rather to the Republican
than to the Democratic party, especially il
