ROAD TrOuDI6s
CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-It is understood on the
authority of parties most interested that the
transfer of the Portage & Superior railroad to
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha,
and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific roads,
is so nearly agreed on as TO be practically an
accomplished fact. The latter roads are to
assume payment of the men and settle all in
debtedness. 1t is also stated on
undoubted authority that the Rock
Island road has nearly completed arrangements
to use the st. Paul, Omaha and Chicago road
as feeder to the Northwestern pineries, and
to build line from there to a point in Illinois,
which shall tap the Rock Island road, and
make complete the triangular connection be-
tween 0 maha, Chicago and st. Paul.

Report and Recommendations of the Sub
Committee.

Report and Recommendations of the Sub
Committee.
After the chamber of commerce adjourned
yesterday morning the committee having under
consideration the matter of founding in St,
Paul seminary for young ladies, held meet
ing when the Rev. Mr.. Breed presented the
following report from the subcommittee:
SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT.
The sub committee to whom was referred
the resolution offered by Hon. E. F. Drake
and unanimously adopted by the general COM
mittee, that they might consider and report a
plan in accordance with the same, offered the
following:
Mr.. brakes resolution declares "That the
time has arrived when st. Paul should have
highest order; that it shonld be uusectarian,
but under general Christian care and influence,
and that the sum of $4,000 should be raised
to make it success"
We do now therefore recommend that this
sum be raised by subscription and expended
in the purchase of suitable location and in
the erection of the necessary buildings with
their furniture and school equipment.
We recommend the appointment of special
committee to solicit subscriptions, and that
these subscriptions be not considered binding
unless the full sum of $4,000 be raised, OF
Tin case it is not fully raised) except with the
onsent of the subscribers.
All believe that on the basis of fifty pupils
twenty-five day and twenty-five boarding
Scholarly at a rate of from 500 to $3.50 pei
year for tuition and board, the school can be
made se!f-supporting, and will provide
facilities for instruction, and privileges of a
home equal to the best ladies' boarding
schools in the East. We append the estimates
Respectfully, D. R. BREED.
TALKING THINGS OVER.
The report was adopted, and the chair ap
pointed Rev. Mr.. Breed chairman of the com.
mittee provided for. and decided to appoint
the remainder of the committee at some future
time, and announce their names hereafter.
Some miscellaneous talk followed in regard to
subscribing for the institution, and an attempt
was made to raise 1000 subscriptions. This
matter was finally dropped without anything
being done, and the committee adjourned.

indulge in pretty large sized guerrilla war
fare over the dumping ground. Some m ain
tanned it was nuisance while Others declared
it was not nuisance at all, but that the per-

known as the dumping ground, on lower
Third street, are as sweet as roses, or the odors
from orange groves or the spice islands. After
everybody had talked all they wanted to-, the

Keep the Cellar Clean.

A great deal of sickness families suffer could be easily traced to the cellar. The cellar not unusually opens into the kitchen; the kitchen is heated and the cellar is not. Following natural laws, the cold air of the cellar will rush to take the place of the warmer and, there- fore, lighter air of the kitchen. This would be we'll enough if the cellar air was pure, but often it is not; partly decayed vegetables may be there, or rotten wood, etc. The present time is opportune for thorough cleansing of the cellar. A day should be taken to throw out and carry away all dirt, rotten wood, decaying vegetables and other accumulations that have gathered there. Brush down the cobwebs, and with 8 bucket of lime give the walls and ceil- ing good coat of whitewash. If 8 whitewash brush Is not at hand, take an old broom that the good wife has worn out, and spread the whitewash on thick and strong. It will sweeten up the air in the cellar, the parlor and the bedrooms, and 1t may save the family from the affiiotions of levers, diphtheria and doctors. s.-Anaerica9 Artisan.

What Are Clouds :?

Though the clouds are such familiar objects, very little is known about them, and the processes by which they are formed and give back their moisture to the earth are unsolved mysteries.
 They cannot be classified as belong ing to the solid, fluid or gaseous form oi matter. Yet they are defined as being Ca collection of watery particles in the state of vapor, suspended in the air. !" If they are ordinary vapor, they must be governed by the laws which affect vapors. Brande defines vapor thus: "When liquids and certain solids are heated, they become converted into elastic fluids or vapors, which differ from gases in this respect, that they are not under common circumstances permanently elastic, but resume the liquid or solid form when cooled down to ordinary temperature. According to this definition, clouds cannot be com posed of ordinary vapor, for under all conditions their temperature must be below the oondensing point of water vapor.
 At the elevations at which clouds are often seen, they are in the regions of perpetual congelation and as they float above the highest mountains they must be exposed, even in the sunshine, and certainly in the night, when the solar heat is not poured upon them, to tenn peratures colder than those of the frigid zones.

Declining a Challenge.

Apropos of dueling M. Albert Delpit relates ln Paris very amusing anecdote that will bear translating. One day one of his confreres called on him. He had had quarrel with gentleman at his club over the card table. In his anger he had thrown two candelabras and a clock, the whole of the mantel orna- ments, at the head of the gentleman, and, not satisfied with thls, he wanted to send him challenge. M. Ivan F. Woestyne and myself, whom he had selected as his seconds, tried in vain to make him unde rstand that what he had already done was quite sufficient. He would not listen to us and so we went to call on his antagonist. The gentle man was merchant, and he received us with the utmost politeness, but upon explaining the object of our visit, said:
 "Gentlemen, refuse absolutely to give any satisfaction to M. K"
 "Ah!"
 "I will never fight with him."
 "Indeed !"
 "Nor with anybody"
 "May we know the reason
 "Certainly."
 He took cigar, lighted it with all the caimness of man who felt perfectly certain of himself, and resumed. Gentlemen, why do people fight duels Because their honor is at stake. We'll, l am not afraid to declare to you that there are two kinds of honor. If one of you two should receive an insult you would be dishonored if you did not fight. Being public men you belong to the public. As for me, on the contrary, l am merchant. If I was to fight a duel my honor would be gone. My credit would be dead. I would not be able to get even a note at three months discounted.

 The Cairo correspondent of the Cologne Gasette declares that the Egyptian wounded were murdered by the British in the trench es at Tel-ei- Kebir long after all resistance had ceased. It is said that this explains why in South Africa and in Egypt so large 8 proportion of the enemy's forces were killed. A letter from a non-com- missioned officer of the Forty second regiment published in the London Times, says the orders were to spare none of the enemy and to bayonet every one of them, as they would shoot the soldiers treacherOusly il the latter passed them.

A Bad Set.

There is a class of agents in this city, says New York paper, whose methods of turning dishonest penny consist in procuring or manufacturing business for certain lawyers. Whenever and wherever an accident or fight or 8 scandal takes place he is sure to be on the spot in time to learn all the circum- stances of the affair and the names and addresses of those involved in it. The agent seeks out the aggrieved person and, with skill derived from long prac- tice, plays upon his excited feelings until he is eager to seek indemnity or revenge at law. Notice is then quickly sent to the agents lawyer, who comes post haste, offers his services and usually without much difficulty secures permis- sion to begin suit, and, if possible, also a small retainer. Sometimes, of course, these rascals in their zeal for business run foul of one another. A few days ago it came out in court that an ignorant woman, who had been in- jured in a Seventh avenue street-car, had been induced to give permission to three different lawyers to bring suits for damages for the same injury.

A Romantic Washington Marriage

Lieutenant Converse, of the Third United States Cavalry, and Miss Jen- kins, daughter of Admiral Jenkins, were married Thursday evening at the resi-. dence of the brides father in Washing ton, D. o. Lieutenant Converse, while on duty with his regiment this summer, received dangerous wound in the head in an engagement with Apache Indians. He lost an eye, and probing showed that the ball could not be extracted because of it's proximity to the brain. Since then he has been recuperating, but so slowly as to lead the surgeons to advise another effort to remove the ball as the only hope of restoring him to health. He assented to their wishes on condition that he should be married before sub- mitting himself to their hands. The event acquired special interest on that account.

Note Brokerage in New York,

The Chemical Bank is the great note buyer of the metropolis, says a city let ter writer. Having surplus of $5, ,OOO,- 900 and an average of deposits of nearly double that amount, it is ready to dis count or purchase all the good paper that can be offered. At any time from twelve o'clock to two o'clock you can see the note brokers rushing into the cashiers rooms to display their array of names, over which he rapidly glances and checks offall that meet bis approval. Business is done rapidly, and 8. tran saction of $25O,00O may be finished in fifteen minutes. Year after year the Chemical Bank has been buying paper, and its former president, John Q. Jones, could call off the gilt-edged names as rapidly as he could repent the alphabet. He knew all the first class men in the city, and they were always under a close surveillance, which ensured the bank against loss. As soon as any mans paper was offered too freely sus- picion was at once aroused and pur- chases were stopped. The question always before him was how much paper the gilt-edged houses were issuing, and this could easily be learned by the offer- ings made by the brokers. Hence the Chemical made but few losses, though its purchases were estimated at $5O,- OOO, 1000 year. Out of town banks fre- quently invest their funds in the same manner, the Farmers and Mechanics Bank of Albany being the oldest and most extensive of this class. There are 8 half dozen first-class note brokers who clear from $5,0OO to $8,OOO per year, and 8 score of smaller men could be mentioned who make living at the business.

Carrying a Caucus.

Last spring, says the Detroit Free Press church deacon residing in an interior town secured man of all work from Detroit, and, the place being an easy one and the pay good, the man was we'll pleased and took 8 great interest in his employers welfare. Some six weeks ago the church to which the Dea- con belongs had to send three delegates to meet three from another church to arrange for picnic Daniel heard the Deacon remark that he would like to be one of the delegates, and that was enough for him. There was to be a meeting of the congregation in the evening to select the three, and score of people had scarcely got together when Daniel walked in, slammed his hat down, and remarked:
 Gentlemen, this caucus will now come to order, and by your leave I will act as chairman until bigger man is appointed
 The people were, of course, dum- founded, but Daniel felt as if he was once more on the heath of the "old Eighth Ward," and he continued:
 "Gentlemen, we have met to nomi- Late three delegates, and it will be in order for somebody to mention the name of Deacon Blank as the first"
 Nobody did and Daniels dander began to rise.
 | "Ah! This is cut and dried affair, thin, is it ?" he roared as he gave bis hat another slam. "However, I pro- nounce the Deacon elected, and if anybody
 Here one of the members arose to make an explanation, or to ask for one, but Daniel declared him out of order, and cleared the room and adjourned the meeting. At the door, as he was going out, he met the Deacon, and, giving his hand a wiring, he enthusiastically cried:
 "I've carried the caucus for ye, Deacon, and the opposition have been smashed so flat that dozen elections won't wake 'em upl Rah ! Whoop ! It's meself that can pull candidate through or die a-trying !"
