what gave the scheme away to the GLOBE reporter
The lights would shine brightly even in the darkest

And another fact a light be mentioned in this con-
neetion, and that Is that the reporter hardly ever
learns secret without saying something about 1t,
and hence here it is:
Several years ago the Minneapolis Gas COMPANY
was organized and incorporated by q num-
Der OF leading Minueapolitsn capitalists
BY some shrewd manipulation this cor
poration managed to secure an exclusive
franchise for supplying the city with gas for some
nifty years. with the further stpul tion that in tue
event the city did not purchase the stock, fixtures
and assets OF the corporation at the expiration of
that PERIOD this franchise should continue operative
for term of years longer.
Up ito the present time no one has been bold enough
to question the right or legality of the franchise
or monopoly q has proven . source of great profit
to the owners. and has regularly passed into the
possession Of cur worthy ex-mayor, A O. Rand
He has found it lucrative Investment and is up to
date happily unconscious of deep-laid plot 70 down

syndicate Is organized with capital stock
of ten millions OF dollars which proposes to drop in
our midst at early day and open a campaign.
They are not at all backward in asserting that the
action OF the legislators in granting monopoly to
any party parties In direct and manifest oppose
ton to the best interests OF the people is unconstu-
honal. 1t is claimed that similar monopolies have
been torn down in eastern cities and that Mr. Rands
house must tumble. If the scheme succeeds what
with the two gas companies and the many and divers
electric light companies, the composition must
needs become interesting, and will unquestonably
materially reduce the ense of Illumination Give

RAIL AND RIVER.

The Northern Pacific road yesterday received
new and splendid instalment of the products
of the country along the line Of that road.
These products consist of potatoes, corn,
PEAS, tomatoes, wheat, oats and timothy, and
they are simply immense. The timothy is
over five feet in height. The wheat is large,
strong and well headed out. The potatoes are
large and well grown. The clover was grown
from the seed this season, and is nearly two
feet in length. The oats are well headed and
the stalk is strong and of a very deep green,
healthy color. The corn is in the silk. To-day
Mr. Barnes will receive another install
ment of the produce of the
earth from that locality, and any one
having any curiosity to see what the land
along the Northern Pacific will produce, can
find out by stopping in at the Northern Paci-
6c Offices on jackson street. They will be on
exhibition there today.
Mr. T. K. Staleler, travelling agent of the
Northern Pacific road, has just returHed from
q trip through Minnesota and Iowa. He re-
ports that though the crops
look well everywhere, they look
better, stronger and further along in
the country through which the Northern
Pacific road passes than any where else. He
is very enthusiastic in regard to this, and
does not hesitate to endeavor to induce all
with whom he comes in contact to
believe as he does in regard to the superiority
of the Northern Pacific country over all 9th

and Alexandria, and the treatment he re-
ceived at the hands of Republican ad-
ministration during the civil war in this
country, has not made him partial
towards the accredited representa-
tives Of this government in the
land of the Pharaohs. The
feeling between Gen. Stone and his
friends and Consul George H. Butler be-
came so bitter, that the latter found it
necessary to leave his post of duty and
return home in order to save his life.
The course Gen. Stone has pursued in
the present crisis, is the natural result of
his political and social relations with
the representatives of the British gov
eminent during his residence in that
country. His hatred of Arab Bey and
friendship for the Khedive, is
wholly due to his loyalty to
British interests, and to the
confidence he has in the
ability of the English government to
ultimately destroy the Pasha's army and
influence and place Twetik in fact at the
head of the Egyptian army and govern
ment. The manner in which the Pashs
shall improve his present opportunities
however, and the spirit of the Confer.
ence of the Powers at Constantinople
will have much more to do with the flu
ture of Egypt than either Gen. Stones
schemes or inclinations.

AMERICANS IN EGYPT.

The surprise generally expressed at
Gen. Stone casting his fortunes with the
Khedive, rather than with Arab Bey
and the army, is doubtless due more to a
misapprehension of the generals politi-
cal predictions during and since the
close of our civil war than to any other
cause.
Gen. Stone is graduate of West Point,
and during the Mexican war was pro-
NOTED for gallantry before both Molino
del Rey and Chapultepec. In 1861
Gen. Scott appointed him to
organize and command the militia of the
District of Columbia, after which he was
made colonel and assigned to the COM
mand of the Fourteenth infantry, and
then to Gen. McDowell's staff. On the
18th of May, 1861, he was made briga-
dier general of volunteers. The battle
of Balls Bluff where the lamented Col.
z. d. Baker lost his life, was fought
under Gen. Stones orders, and owing to
suspicious in regard to his loyalty, he
was arrested in January, 1862,
and confined in Fort Lafay
cite, and it was not I'M
til the following August that
he was released In 1868 he was assigned
to duty with Gen. Banks, in Louisiana,
and took part in the engagements at Port
Hudson, Bayou Tiche, Sabine Cross
Roads and Pleasant Hill, after which he
was assigned to the command of brig
ade in the Fifth corps of the Army of
the Potomac and served before Peters
burg until he resigned from the army on
the 18th of September, 1864.
In 1870 Gen. Stone entered
the Egyptian military service as
Brigadier General and Chief of
Staff to the Khedive; and to his untiring
efforts the present efficiency and well
equipped condition of the Egyptian army
is largely, if not wholly, due. During his
career in Egypt, Gen. Stone has generally
mixed in the society of the English mill
tary and civil officials on duty at Cairo

Syllabus-Defendant signed a negotiable
promissory note, supposing it to be merely
a receipt for pillow. The agent
of the payee presentedit to him for signature;
told him it was receipt; az his request as
sumed to read it to him; as SO read it was
only receipt; he believed the agent read it
truly, and SO believing he signed it; and he
did not intend to sign, and did not know he
was signing note. There was no one who
could read English within half mile of
where it was signed.
Held, That if in any case it is
a defense to negotiable promissory
note in the hands of bona .fde
holder, that the maker executed it not know
ing it to be, and not intending to execute a
note, but being fraudently led to believe he
was executing some other instrument, 1t can
only be where he was guilty of no neglect of

Held that the defendant was, in so execut-
