The Minneapolis Eastern Railroad Conn

The Minneapolis Eastern Railroad eorpora-
tion is great concern. The railroad is very
nearly one mile in length. The entire rolling
stock consists of switch engine and a hand
car. The rolling stock is said to be ample, and
the aforesaid switch engine is the only one

to be all combined in little wooden Office
ABOUT l2xi5 feet in size. All the offices of
the company are to all outward appearances
filled by Mr.. j. b. Bsssett. He runs a lum-
Der office in connection with the other business.
But this little railroad is still great one. 1t
holds, as it were, the balance of power between
some of the greatest corporations in the
country. Some years ago one or two roads
owned all the tracks leading to the mills and
were SO selfish "a natural failing of most rail-
road corpnrations) as to exclude the cars of
other lines from the mills. This was serious
embargo on the milling industry. To over
come the trouble the Minneapolis Eastern com.
pany was organized, and track was laid from
the North Star Iron works to the mills. and
three tracks were laid on q trestle among the
mills. This removed the difficulty and other
roads could hand the wheat to the mills. and
take away the -four without paying bonus or
ransom. The monopoly was broken and the
great Eastern was the mediator, and holds the
balance ofp o xer.
But Minneapolis is growing, the Eastern is
booming, and the road must be extended. The
company already have charter from this city
to st. Paul, and perhaps they, or he, is figuring
to build the line in the near future to that
point. at the meeting of the CITY council TO-
day petition will be presented asking leave TO
extend the read across the mississippi. and
from thence to the mills and manufacturers ON

George Washington Seigel and John Allen
The police court was crowded with col
ored gemmen yesterday morning to witness
the upshot of the case of the State against
George Washington Seigel, charged with
trying to bore daylight through the cocoanut
of John Alien with bis little pistol.
Allen came into court with his woody head
done up in q bandana and with eyes shining
like locomotive headlights. look of
relief and surprise overspread the broad
visage of Seigel as the portly form of Allen
doomed up, demonstrating that that darkey
still mingled with the quick.
Seigel was arraigned on the charge of as
sauit with dangerous weapon, and Aliens
surprise may be imagined when he was
asked to plead to the charge of disorderly
conduct. The parties engaged in a dispute
at Evans saloon Monday afternoon, which
Seigel settled by drawing his 'sgun" and
emptying the contents into the body of
Alien. Three shots were fired, resulting in
no particular injury. The testimony showed
that Allen had bulldozed Seigel into shoot
ing and that the former deserved all he got.
They were each committed for ninety days.

Runaway and Serious Casualty.

Yesterday afternoon, about O'Clock, a
runaway occurred which is likely to result
fatally to an aged German woman by the
name of Sophia Zillmann, who lives, or rath.
or has lived out on the Como road in the
neighborhood of Miller's store. At the time
mentioned above shewas walking on Seventh
street on the north side, between Rosabel
and Wacouta. She had nearly reached Beck
er's drug store, on her way toward Sibley
street, when horse at full speed with the
shafts of cutter flying about him, came up
the walk behind her and ran squarely against
the old lady knocking her down upon the
hard pavement with terrible force. She was
taken up insensible and carried into Beck
er's drug store, where she was most kindly
and tenderly cared for. DR.. Richeson was
summoned, and made as thorough an ex-
animation as was possible under the
circumstances. He could not find that any
bones were broken. but considered her seri
ously If not fatally Injured, internally. Mrs
Zillman was for long time insensible, and,
as no one knew who she was, her relatives
could not Immediately be notified. After
nearly an hour, by the aid of restoratives
diligently applied, she began to rally lit
tie, but when she could speak she was found
to be deaf, and it was some time ere she
could be made to understand sufficiently to
answer questions. At last it was found that
she had brotherin -law named Wendt, who
is miller in Indexes mill, and she was re-
turning from visit there when the acct
dent happened. Mr.. Becker, on learning
this, instantly dispatched his clerk to notify
these relatives. Wendt was at the mill, and
seemed perfectly Indifferent to the old
woman's fate, and it was some time before
he could be induced to 90
to his house and tell his wife of the accident
to her aged sister. He finally did SO, how
ever, and Mrs. Wendt fastened to the store.
Mrs. Zillmann was living entirely alone, with
no one to take care of her. She is woman
about 60 years of age and much less liable to
rally from the shock than younger person,
even had she sustained no internal hurts.
When her circumstances became known a
hack was procured and she was taken to the
city hospital. When the horse passed Beck
er's store he came near running over an
other lady, who, being able to hear, which
Mrs. Zillmann was not, had just warning
enough to spring into the doorway in time
to save herself. Previous to these escapades
the horse had upset the cutter to which he
was attached and threw out two ladies, but
without doing them any serious harm.

ga Golden Came"

The first presentation of Mr.. j. w. Shan
mons new comedy, ga Golden Game,'' was
given at the Opera house last evening under
some disadvantages. The company was
wearied by a long journey, and did not ap-
pear at its best. The house was rather chill
ly, and the stage hands were unfortunately
misled by improper signals which resulted
in the marring of the last act in very pro-
voking manner, not only to the audience
but to the people on the stage. The play is
clean, interesting comedy, based upon the
fortunes af an honest German merchant i'm
America, Max Strauss, who, defrauded by his
partner, is obliged to flee the country in dis
grace. He goes to Australia and retrieves
his fortunes, pays the obligations his dis
honest partner had incurred and returns to
find his daughter woman grown and be-.
trothed to Cyril Brinkworth, the son of his
old partner, though surrounded by a web
which threatens her rnin-the plots OF a pair
of adventures who seek the money she ia
supposed to possess. These are discounted
through the efforts of the father, when the
revelation that his daughters fdneee is the
son of his former traiterous partner ia
brought to him. The marriage is prohibit
ed, but when it transpires that the would be
bridegroom is only the foster son of the.
wretch who had done him so great an injury,
Is allowed to proceed. There are many
striking dramatic situations in the play, but
none of the blood and thunder order. The
dialogue is at times uninteresting and is sus-
ceptible of improvement, but on the whole
it is not work lacking in the
essentials of dramatic SUCCESS. The
actors were all excellent. MIR. Shannon as
Max Strauss gave a fine representation OF an
honorable, obstinate business man and an
affectionate father. Mr.. Edeson as Bob
Sampson had good scope for the display of
his abilities as comedian, of which he
availed himself to the full. Miss Cora Tan
ner made very engaging Clara, and by her
excellent acting enhanced the charms that
nature has bestowed SO lavishly upon her.
The remainder of the cast was good, with
ont exception, and the company may safely
rely upon an increase of patronage during
their stay here. The performances will be
