The undersigned corporators OF SAID
company respectfully represent that they
have long appreciated the WANT not the
neccssity-of a street railroad in this city.
Therefore, that such road might be built,
we in conformity with the state law applied
for charter, not for the purpose OF secur-
ing franchise to dispose of for pecunary
gam, but that road may be constructed ;
hence nocharge for the franchise. 1t is
our desire that the stock shall be solely
owned and controlled by our citizens.
Having complied with both state and city
laws, and obtained the right of way by
unanimous vote Of the city council, we now
offer the stock to citizens in any amount
from one share upwards The capt.
tai stock is 100000, divided into
shares of $500 each; as the length OF
road will not cost 100000 to build and
equip it, we propose to dispose of no more
stock at present than will be necessary to
complete it, rcserving the remainder of
stock until such time as it may he needed
for extending the road. The undisposed
of stock cannot participate in dividends
until sold and paid up. We hope that
sufficient of the stock will soon be taken
to Justify the letting of contracts, so as the
road may be completed and in operation
within few months. For information or
stock apply to the secretary at office Of
widows and Orphans Mutual Aid Society,

street. !. A. GOLDsTINE,

Quite large party. of prominent and distin-
guished residents of Winnipeg, arrived in the
city this morning en- route for the South and
the old country. The party consisted of Hon,
A. G. B. Bannatyne, wife and children; Miss
Bannatyne, Mrs. McDermott, Mrs, Constan-
tine, Mrs. A. Logan and son, Miss Logan, W.
D. Lane, Miss Land, Mrs. McBeck and A. Pol
son and daughter. The party spent the day
at the Merchants hotel and left last evening
for their respective destinations. Mr.. Poison
and daughter and Mrs. McBeck proceed to
Portland, Maine, where they will take the
steamer for Scotland on the 10th inst, to be
absent during the winter. Mr.. Bannatyne and
party viii proceed to the Hot Springs in Ar
kansas. where they will remain for two or
three months. Mr.. Ba1natyne is the
oldest merchant of the Winnipeg
region. He commenced business there
in 1851, and from 1858 to the present time he
has been constant annual visitor to st. Paul.
He has come here on dog trains on Red River
carts, stage coaches and finally by railroad.
His first trip took him three months, and his
last round trip was made in three days, with
time enough in st. Paul to shake hands with
numerous friends. Mr.. Banatyne having ac-
cumulated competency, has sold out his
business in Winnipeg: aud now for the first
for few months. While cut of active bust
ness for the present, his intention is to return
to Winnipeg to look after the large landed In
terests he has still remaining there. Few men
have been in active business for more than q
generation, leave the active walks of CONNER
cial transactions with more enviable reputa-
ton for honorable and upright dealing than
Mr.. Bauatyne. It would be well for the world
il we had more such business men.

"wooDMAS, Spare THAT TREE"

The secretary of the interior recon-
mends that the public lands, rated at a
dollar and a quarter an acre, on which
stand those mighty Californian monarchs
of the forest whose growth antedates the
christian era by thousands of years, be
removed from sale. It is none too soon
to put forth an effort to protect these
giants of Mariposa, and it is amazing
that they have been left so long to
speculation or spoliation. Not long since
one of these immense trees, reckoned
among the wonders of the word, measur-
ing 800 #. in heigth and SO #. in circum-
frence, was cut down for its timber.

]. K. MOORE, who is editor of the st.
Peter Tribune, is also postmaster. The
other night a handful was secretly
passed about town making certain charges
against the postmaster, with view of
securing his removal. The Tribune pro-
nounces the allegations false; without
any regard to the merits or dement's of
the controversy, it may be justly said
that the uttering of midnight handful
is the product of a coward rather than of
true manhood, and being a weak inven-
ton, will react and fail to harm the
assailed. Any one who has charges
against the postmaster at st. Peter should
be brave enough to make them public
and assume their responsibility.

The Great Sale of Simon the Pawnbroker,

The Great Sale of Simon the Pawnbroker.
The GLOBE roundsman happened to meet
Mr. Simon, the popular pawnbroker at No. 40
jackson street, yesterday afternoon, and after
passing the time of day asked him how his
auction sale opened on Saturday evening. Mr..
Simon good-naturedly said, that mans bust
ness ordinarily ought to- be kept to himself,
but he would say that the sale on Saturday far
exceeded his most sanguine expectations. He
had expected on bis first night to merely sell
few goods to introduce the sale and COM
mence real work tonight, but in all his expe-
rience he never saw so much interest mani
tested at an opening sale. The attendance was
large, the room being literally packed, and
many were unable to get inside the store for
want of room. In reference to several inqui-
ries, onr reporter elected the fact that Mr.. 81
mon will not sell any watch that he cannot
warrant, and that nothing will be offered
without being fairly represented, and sold for
what it is. As to the amount Of sales Mr..
Simon speaks of that in another column. He
expects a continued rush until and during the
holidays. Mr.. P. T. Kavanagh has the sale in
charge. The public seem to have unlimited
confidence in the manner the sale is being con-
Quoted.

One of the most disagreeable deprivations
on record for the travelling public, is the with
drawal of the customary time cards from the
daily papers. Heretofore, when you wished
to take train reference to the daily papers,
to be found in almost every family in the city,
informed you of the arrival or departure Of
each of the hundred odd passenger trains
which arrive and leave st. Paul daily. It
seems to me that at the liberal tariff charged,
passengers could be furnished with this relia-
ole source of information. At present one
must repair to the depot to ascertain the hour
of departure the day previous or take chances
of being left If the railroad companies are

ment in which the cutting off of the item Of

linton Drifting Park and Fasr Grounds
About the time the Minneapolis fair was
held, quite feeling was gotten up, both in
st. Paul and Minneapolis, in favor Of union
of forces by leading citizens OF the two cities,
for establishing a driving park and fair
grounds at some suitable point midway be
tween the two cities. Two or three meetings
were held by committees appointed on behalf
of the two cities, at which the project was dis
used and favorably considered, the com mitteeG
going so far as to make a personal inspection
of several pieces of land, thought to be suit
able as to location and adaptability for the
purpose desired, and it was understood, q vir-
tual agreement was arrived at as to . particu.
lar tract OF land, and that inquiries were
authorized to ascertain what it could be pur.
chased for.
This was decidedly favorable beginning,
but unfortunately, with the favorable com.
mencement, the project appears to have come
interest is believed to be more the result OF
circumstances than of indifference, the fact
being that nearly every man on the two COM
mittees is actively engaged in business pur-
suits, which have been particularly pressing
for three months past, absorbing their at
tention to the exclusion of this matter.
But If anything is to be done in the matter
there should be an early meeting of the com.
mittees and steps instituted for the organi
cation of an association, and to put the stock
upon the market, so that the necessary land
can be secured in readiness to commence
work upon racing track, erection
of the necessary buildings, etc., early In the
spring, and the grounds got in readiness for
an exposition and racing meeting in August
or September.
OF the advantages to be gained by the union
of the two cities in such an enterprise, there is
no question, and every day its initiation is de-
layed, but adds to the difficulties in the way
of its execution as well as to the expense to be
incurred. With the present and prospective
rail facilities between the two cities, the loca-
ton of driving park and exposition grounds
midway between the two, will accommodate the
two cities equally as well as either is accomo-
dated now BY their existing fair grounds,
while by acting together they would be able to
give annual expositions and racing meetings,
both trotting and running, equal in attract
ions offered BY those held in Chicago, Pitts
burg, Cincinnati. and other leading cities OF
the country.
The time for prompt action has arrived and
1t is to he hoped the two committees will pro.
coed to act without further unnecessary delay.
