NeaVS of the Railroads.

The Chicago, Milwaukee, Il st. Paul rail
road company have made the Cannon Val
ley company an offer to compromise, and to
settle the dispute over the right of way
through the dug way which this city gave to
the Cannon Valley company in place Of
bonds, and in which the Chicago, Nlilwau-
kee 4 st. Paul company are unable to gain
the right of way except through the consent
of the Cannon Valley company. The mana
gers Of the cannon Valley company have
offered them the right side of the dug way
the center of their track. The matter will
be settled within the next few days.
Alexander Mitchell, president of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee e. st. Paul Railroad COM
pany denies the assertions that have been
made repeatedly of late to the effect that an
English syndicate are negotiating for the
purchase of 100000 acres of land owned by
the company in southern Minnesota Mr.
Mitchell states that the land, which does not
amount to 10000 acres in all, is being he
gotiated for and sold to single individuals in
large and small tracts.

western Railroad company will at once build
branch road from Owatonna to st. Paul
via Northtield They will run on the Can
non Valley track from Faribault to North
sfeld, and from Northtield will build their
own road to st. Paul. Work on the same is
to be commenced immediately.

HousE-The minority report of the judi

land grant was presented. Mr.. Knott in
trodnced bill declaring forfeited to the
United States certain lands granted the
Northern Pacific company and remaining

no patent be issued to that company for any
lands remaining unpatented July l, 1882, or
until congress shall have acted upon this
bill.
The special order of business was in rea

the passage of any bills unless an amend

on commercial agents. The chairman Of
the district committee would not entertain
such proposition although it was demon
strated that the tax was unjust and should
not be imposed upon persons who had al

Next Monday afternoon that pow

ial play in which all of her great
genius has full opportunity fer illus
t%ration, Regarding Mother and Son"
as given at the Grand 0perahouse, in
New Orleans, last Wednesday, the
New Orleans States says:
THE play is chiefly interesting from
the opportunities afforded the star to
exhibit those strongly felt, yet re-
tained emotions, which accompany the
performance Of an act OF justice even
at the sacrifice Of parental love. The
story in briet is that the Countess of
Mansfield (Januascheck) has a son
Bruno (Mr. Stuart) to whom she is
passionately attached. The latter, to
save his brothers reputation, breaks
Into their mothers chest aud takes
money enough to meet the obligations
OF bis brother. Bruno intends to tell
his mother Of what he he's done, bur
she, imagining that he simply robbed
her like a common thief, drives
him from her house with an awful
curse. The curse scene is really the
strong feature Of the play and the
attention OF the audience is riveted
upon every word. 1t was a master
piece of acting on the part Of Janau
sohek, who Impressed upon her audi
tors the fact that in passing sentence
on her son size was running her own
hopes OF happiness. The balance Of
the play deals with her struggles be-
tween pride and love, between her do
sire to forgive the light of her life and
her aversion to excusing his crime.
vi course, maternal love conquerl

together. If the succeeding

able and interesting not only to insur-
ance men, but to all who are liable
to be affected by The ebb and aow OF
insurance matters. Every insurance
man in the United States should have
a copy of the November number. 1t
is beautifully printed aud covered, and
oontains's compendium of useful sta
tistics and other Information. For
instance, it is stated that the losses by
Gre 10 Tennessee for Eve years have
been as follows;
For 1871, S5ls,sG0; for 1878, : l,4O5,-
800; 1879, S7l6,7 200; for 1880, $I67, 100;
for 1881, 81, 816, 200. Total, 1891,
$50. The entire losses in all the
States and part Of the Territories for
the same years we're as follows:
1871, $68, 1853, $50; 1873, S64,236, 40;
1879, S77,527 800; 1880, $72.3l5,S $40;
1881, 8O,5S, 300. Total, $685., 500, 1890.
This tremendous loss the Argus
ascribes largely TO the national crime
of incendiarism which is fostered by
ths reckless competition Of insurance
companies. and which State laws are
inadequate to suppress. The various
questions that arise in the conduct Of
insurance business are intelligently
discussed, and the leading articles
cannot fail to arrest public attention
and have 8 salutary effect upon the
reading and thinking masses. The
Argus has entered upon its fifteenth
volume, and bids fair, under its excel
lent management, to enlarge its
already extended and acknowledged
sphere Of influence and usefulness.
