OBITUAR Z.
Death of DR.. John S. Whillden, Yesterday
Morning.

Death of DR.. John S. WhilIden, Yesterday
Morning.
1t has been the painful duty of the
GLOBE within the past few days to an
nounce the sudden demise of two ladies
both we'll known and highly esteemed fol-
their many lovable and virtuOus qualities.
It now becomes necessary to add the name
Of another prominent citizsn 70 the list,
whose unexpected death occurred almost
without warning yesterday morning. Ref
erence is had to the death Of DR.. John 8.
Whillden, which occurred between and 9
o'clock yesterday morning, at DR.. Hands
residence on West Fourth street..
He partook of breakfast with his family,
being in apparent sound health, but i'm
mediately after the morning meal he com
planned of a smothering sensation in his
chest. The pain suddenly increased and
observing that the symptoms we're alarm
ing Mrs. Whilldsn sent for aid, but before
assistance could be summoned he was
dead.
DR.. Davenport visited the residence just
after the sad occurrence and gave it as his
opinion that leath had resulted from heart
disease. DR.. Whillden was associated in
the practice of medicine with DR.. Hand
The latter left for the East Wednesday
night, and DIR. Whillden's wife and son
moved into his residence to take charge OF
it during his absence.
DR.. John S. Whillden came to st. Paul
from Philadelphia last April, since when
he has been associated with DR.. Hand. Al
the time of his death he was about forty
nine years of age, and he leaves a wife
and one son. He was a graduate of thu
University of Pennsylvania, genial mar
and one devoted to his practice, being re-
garded as an able and successful practi
toner. His untimely death will be la
mented by host of friends. DR.. Hand
was telegraphed for, and the remains will
probably be sent East.

whole number of the ballots cast,
and the remainder after such deduction
was taken and declared to be the number
of the votes received by the said Richter,
without any actual counting thereof. and
Without the same being each separately

Seventh. That in the canvassing of votes
in the Third precinct of the Fifth ward,
whilst the judges of election were engaged
in counting the whole number of ballots
in the box, and before said counting had
been completed, large part of said bal
lots was by accident thrown upon and
scattered over the floor; that it was then
attempted to gather up the ballots thus
thrown upon the floor, but without any
means of distinguishing these ballots from
the unused ballots which had previously
during the day been thrown and scattered
upon said floor by accident or otherwise,
and all the ballots then found lying upon
the said floor were then gathered up and
thereupon takeA, considered and treated by
the said judges as ballots cast at said cleo
ton, whereas, after said accident and the
throwing and scattering of
said ballots upon the floor
as aforesaid it became and was impossible
to make true and correct counting and
return of the votes cast in said precinct.
For the foregoing and such other good
and sufficient reasons and cause as shall
appear upon the trial hereof, but which
this contestant is not now able to specify
more particularly, this contestant will pray
the judgment of the court in the premises,
adjudging and declaring that he was duly
elected sheriff Of said Ramsey county at
said election, together with his costs and
disbursements in this behalf most uni ust-

pany, but did not know that they had pur-
chased the stock aforesaid, and did not in
tend that they should be admitted to
share in the Starbuck contract; that
none of the stockholders have Of
fered to furnish any money
to build the road except upon the basis of
the contract referred to, that the road can
be built and equipped for $14 900 per mile
and it will not cost Starbuck more than
that sum to carry out his contract with De
Graft & Co.; that the bonds and stock to be
received by Starbuck will, upon the
pletion of the road, be of value consid-
erably in excess of the cost of the construc
ton and equipment of the road; that the
building of the road has met with strong
opposition from the St. Paul & Manitoba
road, and the latter road threatens to build
a road parallel and near to the road and
has contracted fifty miles of such road;
that the Little Falls g. Dakota road belongs
to the Lake Superior system and naturally
runs over the Northern Pacific road; that
De Graf & Co. Immediately went to work
in good faith in the construction of toe
road and have prosecuted the same ever
since: that Barnum was elected secretary
in 1879 and has ever since held that Office.
AS CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
the court determines the contract in ques-
ton in this case is not ultra wires the cor
poration and it is not absolutely void
Plaintiff and the other members of the
partnership hereinafter referred to stand
In the same relation to the contracts as do
the defendants, Barnum and Simmons and
have no greater rights than they. Said
Barnum and Simmons having with knowl
edge of the facts assented to said contract,
and said contract having been acted upon
by the other parties interested, with the
knowledge and acquiesence of said plain
tlffs and their other partnership associates,
plaintiffs cannot now avoid the contract
whatever might have been their rights
under other circumstances. If Barnum
and Simmons as directors of the company
gave their assent to said contract in
duced by the expectation that they
we're to share in the profits
realized by the contractor, and if, as
plaintiffs claim, the said contract was
fraud upon the company, Barnum and
Simmons are parties to the fraud, and
equity will afford them no relief.
Plaintiffs are not entitled to any relief
in this action.
Defendants are entitled to Judgment
accordingly and for their costs and dis
bursements.

The Changes Wrought in twenty-five
Years in Modes of Travel.
Our reporter meeting Gen. R. w. John
son on yesterday was Informed that he
had just received dispatch from his son,
1t. A. B. johnson, announcing his safe ar
rival at Fort Bridger, Wyoming. The gen
eral remarked that one could scarcely real
ize the great revolution in travelling within
the Last twenty-five years. In 1857 Gen.
mand of body of troops to move against
the Mormons who had assumed an attitude
of hostility to the United States govern
ment. Johnston's command was concen-
tratsd early in the spring of 1857 At
Fort LeavenwOrth and early in the month
of May it moved out on the long journey
to Salt Lake. After summers march the
command was showed in at Fort Bridger,
where it remained all winter on half
rations or less. Lieutenant johnson and
family, after comfortable ride in .
palace car of three days, reached the same
post. Just think of it! Twenty-Five years
ago it took six months to accomplish a
journey now performed in three days.
Means of travelling have changed, bat in
almost everything else the change has
been as great. The population of our
city and state have increased
in about the same proportion and our pro-
auctions have gone far beyond the antici-
pations of the widest dreamer of twenty
five years ago. The average man is SO
much immersed in business that he does
not stop long enough to think of the great
ness and grandeur OF the times in which he
lives. Thirty years ago we had weekly
mail; now dozen or more every day.
Then We CROPPED about in darkness relieved
only by the rays of tallow candle, now
the electric light casts its brilliant rays
over Us rivaling in splendor the rays of
tho noon day sun.
Times have changed and we have the
satisfaction of having lived in the proud
est and grandest period of the worlds
history.

From ". II. Adams, editor of the Hast

Croi1 junction, just across the river on
the east side from Hastings, at the point

train to Saltwater, consisting of an engine
and combined baggage and passenger
coach, was thrown from the track Just as
the engine left the main track for the
branch, by defective rail. The engine
was precipitatsd headlong from the en-

upon the throttle lever, killing him in
stantly, his head being crushed to a shape
less mass. The fireman, whose name could
not be learned, stood to the left of the en-
gineer, and on the upper side of the en-
CINE as she went over the bank, and thus
escaped being caught by the tender, but
suffered broken shoulder blade by being
thrown violently against portion of the
engine. and was also severely bruised about
the body by being struck by chunks
of coal in the tender. The occupants of
the coach were only six in number, includ-
ing Conductor Stanley Chase, who had his
left hand cut and bruised badly, and sus-
tanned other slight bruises about his per-
son. The five passengers were pretty &C.
verely shaken up,and suffered more or less
bruises, but no one was seriously injured.
The in ured were taken back to Hastings
and cared for. The engine was badly
wrecked. the car slightly, and the track
torn up and displaced for some distance,
delaying the Flying Dutchman, which
should have passed at about o'clock until
nearly noon. Charles Vanderworker, the
unfortunate engineer, was one of the old
est and most trusted employees of the COM
pany in this section, and his tragic death
wi II be sincerely mourned.

and Wildfiower-The Gov. rnor's Inten-
tiOns for the Future.
New York. Nov. 23.-The Tart, Field
and Farm says: Ex-Governor Leland
Stanford is now in the city, and on
Wednesday visited the gentlemen's driv-
ing park and saw Kinda Rose and Wild
flower work. The track was rough and
far from elastic, but the two-year-old
trotted half mile in 1:1O3l and the three
ysar-old went the same distance in 1:OSsI.
He has made up his mind to ship his
stable back to California, but he would
like to see Wildfower with eastern bred
thres-year-olds before giving positive
orders to Marvin. He authorizes US to
say that if race can be arranged with
Eva. Alrop, Agatha, or any other three
year-old, he will keep his stable here two
weeks longer, and start Wildflower in
it. He makes no offer of Hindal Rose, be-
cause there is no 2-year old this side the
Alleghanies capable Of trotting with her.
If there is no disposition manifested to
meet Wild Flower, the 2 and 3-year olds
viii commence their journey to the Pacific
coast next week, where they will be trotted
against time, provided they are not weak
ened by the long journey. and the weather
and track are favorable. He believes Hin
da Rose can beat 2:21, and he looks for
Wild Flower to cut down the 3-year old
record. He has some very promising
yearlings and 2-year olds, which will come
cast next summer and trot at Lexington
and New York. The governor will reside
in this city during the winter.

has closed . three days session here. J..
T. Shumate, of Urbana, was president,
and g. 3. NcCheney, of Manchester, acted
as secretary. The national Legislative as
sociation of New York was represented in
tho convention by its president and secre-
tsry, z. B. Harper, of New York, and G.
T. Potter, of Elmira. Steps were taken
for preparing uniform law to be pre-
scented for adoption to the various legisla-
lures, and the following resolutions were
adopted:
eve committee appointed by tho
national convention of Mutual Benefit asso-
citation and societies to consider tho advis-
ability Of legislative enactments in vari-
GUS states whereby corporations or associa-
lions insuring lives upon the assessment
plan may transact business under uni
form act, such committee, representing up
wards of million members of such or
CARNATIONS, do hereby resolve,
That We deprecate and unqualifedly con-
denim the unwise and unbusiness like man
ner of transacting business adopted by
some organizations, whereby fraud and
speculation have crept in, bringing the
business of all into more or less disrepute.
That it is the duty of all associations or
societies TO use all their influence and ex-
ercise all possible vigilance to secure the
enactment of uniform laws in all states
which shall prevent such fraudulent, specu-
lative and unbusinesslike organizations
transacting business therein.
That We will in all proper ways seek to
protect all properly managed corporations
or associations, insuring lives upon the
assessment plan from unjust discrimina-
ton in the conduct of their lawful
business, and use our influence to
secure the united action of all
members of all our respective
organizations in securing the
election and appointment to Office of such
persons as may have a voice and vote in
making or constructing or executing of
the laws relating to the business of as
surance upon lives who will not arbi-
trarily discriminate in favor of any plan
or class of organizations, but who will, in
the exercise of their official prerogative
equally protect all organizations doing
lawful business, whether it be upon the
level premium OR the assessment plan.

THE IRON INTEREST.
The Cost of Production Too Great-Che-,
o. and Less Labor Needed

The Cost of reduction Too Great-Che-p
% and Less Labor Needed.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.-Among some inter
views published this morning upon the
subject of iron and steel manufacture, are
the following remarks by one of the oldest
iron men in the city, and.proprietor of one
of the largest establishments in st. Louis
He said, no matter what the cause of the
Generalization vas, and it was highly
probable that free trade fears might be an
element in it, tho shief point to be consid-
cred was rs how 10 adjust the cost of man
ufaeture TO the market price Of the product,
and leave . margin Of profit. He believed
tho first place to begin was
reduction both in the cost Of
labor and the amount employed.
A careful consideration of the subject by
both employer and employs would &C
complish tho one, and the introduction Of
labor saving machinery would secure the
other. A reasonable tariff is, Of course,
necessary, he said land must be maintained,
but all tariffs in the world will not help
the iron trade or iron manufactures if il
il going to cost the market price of ton
to make ton. We must have cheaper
labor and less of it, and cheaper trans
portation if We are going to keep the mills
in the country going at present. These
views we're pretty generally concurred in
by those engaged in the iron interests
here.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 23.-The report
telegraphed last night that steel rails could
be made at tho present time for $32 per
ton,v based upon an interview published
in one of the morning papers. 1t turns
out that the party making the statement
has no knowledge of the business, and
those who ought to know say that rails at
$40 involve loss to the maker at present
WHEELING. Nov. 23.-The project for
new steel works here for the manufacture
OF steel nail plate out of which steel nails
are to be made, has been Informally com
pleted to-day by the organization of sew
eral nail mills into a company for this
purpose. Each mill holds stock in the
new concern, and it will be the buyer Of
their pig metal and will supply them with
necessary nail plate. Articles Of incor-
poration will be taken out in day or two.
