The Soldiers Grave Committee.
Some months ago a general execu.
tive committee, including Messrs.
W. 7. Taylor, A.. D. Allen, G. W.
Frazer, W. A. Collier and R. j.
Black, were selected to see what could
be done toward raising a fund of
about $500 to erect a curbing, place
posts and otherwise adorn the Con.
federsto graves at Elmwood. 1t was
deemed unreasonable at the time to
take active steps to raise the needed
amount. Now, however, the autumn
trade is about to become active and
money easier, it is thought the matter
should be pressed, and with a view Of
collecting a fund a sub committee on
finance has been selected This com.
mit'eo is W. F. Taylor, l. N. Snow.

A TEMPERATE DARKY,
Who Gives Way Like a Weak
Woman al Last.

A little inside history of the arrest
Of Robert Wilson, night before last,
has asst been made known, and will
aid in forming an estimate Of the dan
gerous character Of the murderous
darky. 1t was arranged between
Captain Hackett and Officer Jackson
that the former was to take a stand at
the back window, while the latter
entered the door. Wilson heard them
as they approached the house, and,
raising the window, was in the act Of
Springing out, when Captain Hackett
presented his pistol. Wilson then
took his stand behind the door, and
cooking his pistol, swore he would kill
the first man who entered. Mean
while Jackson was endeavoring to
force an ENTRANCE, aud it was evident
that some catastrophe must immedi-
ately ensue. A woman in the room
was heard imploring the desperate to
surrender, and to her en~treaties we're
joined those Of the confederate, Hunt.
Wilson persisted for some time, and
only concluded to surrender quietly
when convinced by his companions
that the house was completely sur.
rounded by policemen. He was very
much frightened yesterday, and ex
pressed his we'll founded fears that an
attempt would be made to lynch him
last night. So great was his terror
that be fell on his knees in his cell and
with streaming eyes begged the officers
to protect him from the vengeance Of
his victims friends. 1t was extremely
difficult for the officers to reassure
him.

On the 10th inst, the Chippewa Valley
and Superior road was formally transfer
red to the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Co. The latter company Ia, been op-
Grating the line ever since its complet-
ion, and it has been understood that at
the proper time the road should become
the property Of the St. Paul company.
The Chippewa Valley & Superior road
was built by company with Hon. J. G..
Easton as president and John Johnston,
a nephew of Alexander Mitchell, as treas
urer. 1t started at Wabasha, where it
leaves the St. Paul, and extends to Eau
Claire, distance of about fifty miles.
At Eau Claire it connects with the Wis
consin Central system. 1t will prove a
valuable western and southwestern feed
er. and as the Central is now making
suitable arrangements to transfer its bust
ness to it, large lumber traffic will be
gained.
A dispatch to the Pioneer Press from
Red Wing says lit is reported that the
Milwaukee Co. are tearing up the mar
row gauge track between Wabasha and
Zumbrota and putting in a broad gauge.
They will then continue the road, but to
what point is unknown, although differ
ent surveys have been made this summer" "
This is the line which it was expected
would be continued to Austin, and this
looks as though this result might soon be
attained

The Pioneer Press says Mr.. Window
has eighty members of the present Legis-
lature pledged to him for U. s. Senator
The Globe says 1.-THE reason why the figure
selected was eighty, was because it re.
quires seventy-tive to elect in joint con-
vention and it was not necessary to lie
any larger. If seventy would elect they
would only have claimed seventy five,
and if it required eighty they would have
put their lie at eighty-fve. They are con.
scientious liars and do not wish to lie too
hard"
Now, we will hear the Globes predec.
ton on the subject. 1t is worth perhaps
as much as that of the p. r.: "A careful
analysis does not show to exceed forty
pronounced Window men in the next
Legislature, and it is not certain that even
that number can be mustered. The false
claim is put forth to frighten the timid
into committing themselves to WINDOWS
fortunes upon the idea that he is the COM
ing man."
The St. Paul Dispatch says Windon,
has just 81 votes "sure." including Hen
nepin county.
The Winona Tribune says 1.-THE truth is,
that Window has not got so votes certain,
and all this bloviatiny by his organ is to
keep up appearances while WINDOWS
agents 60 around the State endeavoring
to buy up votes
Now. We will give our opinion: It is,
that the friends of Window, and the
friends of Dunnell or a new man, are
about equally divided. With the field
against Window, it looks to US as though
he might be crowded into close quarters.

The Five Railroad Monarchies,

There are five railroad monarchies in
this country. The oldest and richest is
presided over by William H. Vanderbilt.
whose father created it and bequeataed
it to his sou, Notwithstanding his own
harsh judgment, william is fool" 1t
may be called an hereditary monarchy.
Jay Gould is the second king of the
rail, and he built himself up with the help
of James Fisk, VIM. NJ. Tweed, Judge
Barnard, and others. His monarchy is a
vast empire founded by his own genius
and his matches energy.
c. P. Huntington is another right royal
magnate of transportation. His system
Of roads is not finished, but will embrace
d network extending from the Pacific
coast to several Atlantic seaports, New
York and Newport News being among
the number. The Southern Pacific. the
3unsetroute in Texas. and the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad are the chief links in
this chain. This system bids fair to be a
formidable rival to the other two mention
ed. Mr.. Huntington. formerly of San
Francisco. now of New York, is man of
great power, the architect of his own for
tune. and man who has escaped the re-
proaches hesped upon either Vanderbilt
or Gould.
As . fourth. may be mentioned the sys-
tenn of roads which are owned in Boston,
and controlled, not by one man. but by =
syndicate Of capitalists quite as energetic
and pushing as Mr.. Gould, but less grasp
ing and more liberal. In this monarchy
may be included the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe, which now connects the
Missouri River with the Pacific Ocean.
and will control the Australian COM
'nerce; and the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy. which gives Chicago command
Of the great West, and is already proving
4 formidable rival for the Union Pacific
system.
The fifth monarchy is that which COM
hands the great agricultural district of
the Northwest, and includes rivals in its
organization. This is controlled by II.
q. Porter, Harvin Hushitt. Alexander
Mitchell. James Hill. Albert Keep, and
Henry Willard, the ''blind-poor player.
Whatever may be the personnel of
these empires, it is reasonably certain
that the systems named are rapidly alb.
sorbing all the railroads of this country,
which are links in the chain of through
transportation. 1t is safe to say tina,
when the schemes now in process of exc.
cution have been carried out either one
Of these lines will have more miles OF

of the systems. Not that the actual own
