WESTWARD HO!
A Colony of Enterprising Citizens Bound
for Dakota.


The tide of westward emigration sets
in this spring with increasing volume.
Yesterday Capt. E. G. Northrop, of Ed
inburg, Portage county, Ohio, accom-
panied by Mrs. George Kenward, daught.
er and son, and Harley Loveland, of Ra-
VIENNA, o.; Mr.. Mix, of Atwater, o., and
Mrs. Hogue and daughter, of Salem,
Ohio, stopped off in St. Paul, all bound
for Dakota Territory. These parties are
representatives of colony of 400 formed
for settlement in that Territory,
the first point to be made
being Tower City. Some have
already gone forward in detachments,
and others are to follow, equipped with
horses, cattle, farming utensils, and
household goods. This colony comes
from the best part of Ohio, many of them
young, and all enterprising and with ade-
quate means to start life hopefully in new
homes. Capt. Northrop is worthy of
special note. He is gentleman of in
telligence, worth and high standing in
his old home. His age is slightly over
30 years. On the breaking out of the
war of the rebellion he responded to
the first call of President Lincoln
for $4,000 troops, by enlisting
April %, 1861, for three months in the
famous Seventh regiment of Ohio lnfan-
try. On the expiration of that time he
responded to the second call of the Presi-
dent. and enlisted for 3 years in Company
F. Seventh regiment, Ohio, and in 3
years, 8 months he was mustered out, in
1864. Again he responded to the last
call of the President for troops, and in the
spring of 1866 he joined Company II.
1s6th Ohio infantry, where, for meritorious
service, he was promoted to captaincy,
and was honorably mustered out at the
close of the war, in the fall of 1865. Such
men are valuable ac-
cession to any community,
and especially 80 to our new Territories.
Dakota Territory has received no more
valuable emigrant accessions in point of
intelligence, morals, enterprise and thrift
than in this colony, and Ohio is most
honorably represented in the fourishing
and rapidly growing Territory of Dakota
by these, her worthy sons and daughters

RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION.
A Timely ard Sensible Report Of the New
York Chamber Of Commerce.

New YORK, April TAT meeting of the
chamber Of commerce yesterday the report of
the committee on railroad transportation was
read and adopted. The report concluded
with the statement that the
great efforts now being made
by persons in the railroad interest to prove
railroad consolidation with all its increase OF
power In the hands of few men is in the in.
terest of commerce, because it reduces the
proportionate Iexpense OF operating these
modern highways, and constant de.
pointed to confirmation Of this theory.
proportionate economy Of operating large
than small establishments of all kinds, and
TO this rule railroads are no ex-
ceptlon. We have no objections to
ali railroads in the United States
being consolidated In single system provided
that system is controlled In the interests of the
public, but SO long as railroad managers per-
NIT gross favoritism and determinations
against both communities and individuals, SO
long as they seek by stock watering
and other devices to obtain from
the public more than a reasonable
compensation for service rendered; SO long as
they try to perpetrate these abuses by obtain.
ing control of the legislative, judicial and
| executive departments of our government
just so long must we esteem consolidation of
railroad power detrimental to all classes of
citizens, and perpetual menace to the public
welfare, for 1t is calculated to redistribute the
wealth of the country, virtually concentrating
the commerce of the nation In few hands and
making all others tributary thereto

Garfield and the Deadlock.

WASHINGTON, April THE statement con.
tanned in numerous dispatches from here that
the President may decide to revive the English
custom and go in person to the Senate to
break the deadlock, is all bosh. There is no
necessity for the President to resort to any ex-
treme or even ancient method to break the
deadlock. He is embarrassed by the situation
and would like to have his nominations con.
tirmed, but in accordance with his expressed
opinion, he has hesitated to advise the Senate
what it ought to do. He has, in short, not
interfered and naturally has hoped to see his
party win. Now that the Democrats appear
so determined to stand on the ground that
deadlock it is believed the President will ask
his friends in the Senate to go into executive
business if the present situation continues
much longer. The President has supporters
enough in the Senate to execute his wishes
when he chooses to express them and say the
deadlock must be broken.

SIOUX CITY, April 7.-All gorges In the riv

The food is now at Its height, and passing by
here at least four feet below the level of the
river front, and ten to fifteen feet below
the level of the business portion of the city.
The low lands on the opposite side of the
river in Nebraska are flooded, and people liv-
ing there have been compelled to get out.
The Covington people were brought to
this side this morning. The low point
ofground below the city, ,at the mouth of Floyd
river, is too rotten and broken up
to form any gorge below in the
face of SO powerful a current, and
all apprehension of any trouble in,
this city from the great freshets in the Mis-.
souri, may DE dispelled. The water now is
stationary and will doubtless be on decline
tomorrow. There are about 200 refugees in
town.

The Danger Line Reached on the Missis-

ST. LOUIS, April IA heavy rain storm
commenced here about o'clock this morning
and still continues. From reports received at
the signal service Office the storm extends
over great breadth of country, embracing
nearly all of Mississippi, Arkansas and the
Red river valley, and reaching a consider
able distance east Of the former river.
Should the storm continue twenty-four
hours or longer, all of the above
damage will result. The upper Mississippi at
Hannibal and various other places is already
up to danger line. The same may be said of
the lower Missouri, and at this pointa rise of
five feet will overflow some of the low places,
both in the southern and northern parts of the
city along the river front, and will probably
work great destruction. Measures are being
taken to protect and remove property. How
ever, it is hoped serious damage may be
ayerted

Especial Telegram to the Globe.]

AUSTIN, Mimi, April 7.---The interest in the
now celebrated Page-Riley case remains un-
abated No other topic can detract from it,
1t seems incredible that community should
be so generally excited, and that each indi.
vidual citizen should be arrayed on one side or
the other in advance of any testimony even,
except upon one side. In the court room
Riley and his counsel are constantly surround
cd by crowd of the leading citizens, who at
times seem to offer suggestions. AS the trial pro-
crosses the ability with which the defense is
conducted is generally commented upon, and
much regret is expressed upon the streets
that Chris. O'Brien, or some other noted and
able attorney, is not here to aid the State.
The rulings of Judge Dickinson are gener-
ally admitted to be fair and impartial, but he
is vigilantly watched by the attorney for the
defense, who constantly objects to evidence
which might damage his case, while the State
allows the defense about all the ground he
wants.
The animals were turned loose at 9 A. NJ,
when the prosecution introduced
DETECTIVE ARTHUR WOOD,
of the Pnkerton agency, who testified at Dex-
ter. Under objection from the defense the
court ruled such evidence admissible only as it
tended to show the degree of intimacy exist
ing between the witness and prisoner, and
what prisoner told him relating directly to the
crime. The evidence given under this ruling
is substantially the same as that given at DeX-
ter, omitting such as was ruled out.
The ross-examination by Mr.. Erwin was
very severe, the object being apparent to dam.
age the credibility of the witness. Witness
stated his connection with Pinkerton's force
and described the nature and workings of the
bureau. He came to Austin on September
and remained until the 11th, working up the
case. He was led to admit visiting disreputa
BILE places while in Austin in search of facts
about the Riley family; that he told Riley he
was "gopher" man, or safe blower, and had
done considerable work; and that he secured
his own apparent arrest and committal to
Jail at Albert Lea for the purpose of having
further conversation with Riley.
Witness stated that there was another prls-
oner (whom he was called upon to recognize in
COURT, in the jail at the time, whom it was
agreed upon should be removed during his
talk with Riley The papers containing the
account of the arrest of John Riley and also
of the arrest of Wood, were in the Jail. He
stated that it made no difference as regards his
standing with his agency, whether Riley was
convicted or not, and that he had no personal
interest in the case, did not buy shotgun of
Ira Jones between the 4th and 18th of Septem
Der last; did not offer BERTHE Smith $50 to
swear at Austin; do not know woman on
Mill street by the name of Mrs. King; did not
offer Mrs King S. to testify in this case. !

The Opera Seats.

There was a large crowd around the
Opera house yesterday morning at the open
ing OF the sale of seats to the Strakosch-
Hess opera season. A line was formed which
extended out upon the sidewalk, but before
the noon hour the most anxious of the crowd
had been accommodated with their preferred
seats. People kept coming all day, however,
and before the box Office closed in the evening
$1,000 had been taken in exchange for seats.
There appeared to be but little choice as In
the operas, almost an equal number OF seats
for each having been taken-a proof OF the
uniform excellence Of all the compositions to
be presented. Quite number OF persons pur-
chased season tickets, and saved dollar or
two In that way. There Is every indication
that the rush for seats will continue to-day
