the collision Conductor Calvin spoke 10 him
ABOUT making upa story that both would stick
TO, and thus save themselves from being
bounced, and perhaps something worse Gal
vim told him to say that he PIERCE put out
Nag and torpedoes. and stick to it. Pierce
further testified that he did not put out either
flag or torpedoes, and that he did not leave
the caboose till the moment the engine of No
3whlstled. He also says that Calvin was in
his bunk and apparently asleep, and did not
go out OF the caboose while waiting for the
train which was to pass his train and the pas
senger train at the gravel pit Upon this the
jury retired, and at a late hour Sunday morn
ing brought in verdict the substantial part
of which is as follows:
That the said Vim. Wlssinger came to his
death in railroad accident at place known
as the gravel pit, six miles north of Rothsay,
on the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba rail
road; that the said accident was caused by
gross and criminal neglect of duty on the part
OF Daniel Calvin, conductor of freight train
No. extra, and the jury wholly eXonerate
from blame Conductor Woolnough and En-
gineer Benson, of passenger train No. g."
Calvin was Immediately arrested and lodged
in jail, and was to be examined before Justice
Stordock at Rothsay yesterday.
Three of the wounded men, Young, Kaphel
and Walker, were brought to st. Paul under
care of DR.. Murphy in the special car sent
with DR.. Murph y by the st. Paul and Mani
tobi company, to bring them here and, arriv-
ing early yesterday morning, were taken to st.
Joseph's hospital. They bore the journey well
and DR.. Murphy is of the opinion that all three
will be fully recovered in good time, now that
they are placed where they can have constant
attendance.
Mr.. Kaphel confirms the confession of young
Pierce by saying that there was no tagging or
signalling and that conductor Calvin was asleep
when the passenger train ran into them.

Board of Public Works.

An adjourned meeting of the board of public
works was held yesterday forenoon, President
Harrington in the chair. The object OF the
meeting was to take action concerning the
proposed change of grade on Pleasant avenue,
from Third to Ramsey street. 1t was explained
that the members of the board had visited the
location last Saturday, with the view of max
ing a personal examination of the premises.
AS a result of the visit it Was decided that the
proposed change of grade would not be proper,
inasmuch as it involved greater damages than
anticipated. A report was ordered forwarded
to the council to the above effect.
The matter of opening a street through
block 20, commonly known as the Union
depot project, was considered and the clerk
was directed to give the first assessment
notices.
The question of damages for the levee in
the Sixth ward came up but no action was
taken.
1t was decided to hold special meeting to-
morrow night at 7:3 O'Clock. Adjourned.

HAVING to publish to-day IN another col
umn the formal announcement of the accept
auce of the resignation of Homer E. Sargent,
Esq, of the position Of general manager of the
Northern Pacific, which he has filled since Oc-
tober, 1877, it is pleasure to call the atten-
ton of readers of the GLOBE to the great i'm
provement in the affairs of this railway which
has taken place since Mr.. Sargent became its
manager. The stock of the company has adj
vancea in that time from Ok for common and
8 to 10 for preferred to 43H for common and
72's for preferred. That Mr.. Sargent has con-
tributed largely to this result may be judged
from the fact that under him the earnings of
the divisions he personally managed have near
~ doubled yearly, and out of their earnings
these divisions have been improved to almost
the extent of re:onstructing the whole road

The Municipal Judgeship Decided Upon.

A decision was rendered by Judge WilkIn,
yesterday. granting the motion to quash the
alternative writ of mandamus in the case of
the State ex rel Edwin Gribble against
Michael Lux, James Grace and John Libbey
In this case the relator asked for writ of
maudamus commanding the respondents, who
were judges of election, held on the 4th of
May, 1880, of The Third precinct of the
Fourth ward, to recount certain votes alleged
to bave been cast for the relator, for the office
of judge of the municipal court.
In rendering his decision the court alludes
to the law which provides for the counting of
ballots and for their destruction at the expira-
ton OF six months after the election, in case
no contest is pending. In this case the
petition was not filed until eight months after
the election, two months after the time for the
destruction of the votes. In view of this the
court holds that after the expiration of the six
months the duties of the judges cease, and the
board itself becomes functus ofcio.
After noting other reasons the court holds,
in conclusion, that the writ was insufficient,
and grants the motion of the respondent to

PROTECTION no SHIP BUILDING.

Twenty-Five years ago the United States
made some pretensions to being a maritime
nation. Our ships were floating on every sea,
the stars and stripes waved in every port on
the habitable globe. Ship-building was a
of thousands of people. The products of our
farms were transported to the European
markets in ships of American construction,
protected by the American flag, and the pro-
ducts of the looms of Great Britain, France
and Belgium were brought back for distribu-
ton in the same vessels. To-day all is changed
The myriads of vessels that float the ocean are
built in foreign parts, and in the forests of
masts that crowd the harbors of New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and other seaport towns
is nowhere to be seen the once omnipresent
stars and stripes. The shpyards are vacant
and the docks rotting, while ship building is
one of the lost arts. To what an extent Amer
lean commerce has been driven from the seas
is shown by recent dispatch from New York,
which says:
During ihe month of arch the shipments of grain
FIR, M The pot of New York amounted to $751;
bushels, as oIows: 4043.543 u hsls of wheat. D.
80 bu heels # corn aud $3.50. bushels of I'VE

none.
These figures are eloquent. They show to
what extent the American hip-buildng in
dustry has been protected by the legislation
OF the Republican party. 1t has been liter
ally protected out of existence.
AS soon as the party now in power attained
the ascendancy, Its statesmen were seized with
the brilliant idea of encouraging the business
of ship-building. In order to do SO it was en-
acted that no vessel built In foreign country
would be granted an American register: thai
all vessels carrying the American flag should
be commanded by American officers and
manned by American seamen; that no American
citizen should be permitted to purchase ship

built abroad on pain of being deprived of citi-
zenship. Instead of having the desired effect.
however, this absurd law has had the effect OF
in this country, and has largely stimulat-
ed it abroad And to-day there
are scarcely score of American
vessels engaged in the trans oceanic trade. 1t
sometimes happens that years elapse in some
prominent foreign parts without the privilege
of viewing an American flag. Our farmers
are paying tribute to foreign ship-owners for
transporting their produce to Europe, and
every citizen is taxed to maintain the import
trade, which is conducted wholly in foreign
bottoms. Our vessels have been extermlnated
by protection, and though the facts are ap-
parent to the most obtuse, the Republican
Congress refuses to undo the mischief it has
done.
The ship building industry is so far obliter-
ated that it will require years to revive it. Our
artisans have forgotten the art OF marine
architecture, and will find 1t hard matter to
compete with the ship-builders of the Clyde
and the Mersey. They will never have de-
sire to equal them until they cease to be pro
tected. Though our forests contain timber of
the best quality for million vessels, it will
be permitted to rot where it stands until such
time as Congress shall see fit to remove the
restrictions upon the business. Everything
that enters into the manufacture of ships is
protected-tools, nails, cordage, oakum, tar
and all save the rough timber. Even this is
protected by tax on the imported timber,
which enables the owners to charge their own
price for the domestic article. Is it any won
der that our vessels have disappeared from the
ocean when such laws are permitted to remain
on the statute books? Surely the people owe
debt of gratitude to the Republican party for
thus protecting American vessels which they
can never repay.

Health and Happiness.

It seems strange that anyone will suffer from
the many arrangements brought on by an i'm
pure condition of the blood, when Scovill's
Blood and Liver Syrup win restore perfect
health to the physical organization. It is In
deed strengthening syrup, pleasant to take,
and has proven itself TO he the best blood puri-
fer ever discovered, effectually curing Scrofu-
la, Syphilitic disorders, Weakness of the Kid
neys, all Nervous disorders and Debility. It cor
reefs indigestion. 1t makes the old feel young,
and the young feel gay; and will invariably
drive out of the system the many ills that hu-
man flesh is heir to. A single bottle will prove
to you its merits as health rencwer, for it
acts like charm, especially when the CON-
plant is of an exhaustive nature, having a
tendency to lessen the natural vigor of the
brain and nervous system.
