First Train Over The Missouri.

1t was originally intended not to cross
anything on the Bismarck bridge until the
test and formal opening for traffic on the
2lst; but there being such an accumula-
ton of cars in the Bismarck yards aud
such cry for empty stock cars at the
front that Chief Engineer Morrison
yielded to the appeals of Agent Davidson
and yesterday afternoon engine No. Ss
with twenty-five emptlcs crossed the new
bridge over the Missouri, being the first
train to cross. Twenty-Five half loaded
cars were brought back from the other
side. Master Mechanic Rossiter, with
Firemen George Brown ran the engine.
and was accompanied on the trip By Mr.
Morrison, John Davidson, Mr., Crosby,
Mr., Lederle, Mrs, Crosby, Mss Wilkle
and Miss Davidson. There was great
jubilee made by the whistles OF the var
ious engines at the bridge, and the ira US
fer boat, whose glory by tins departure
was cast in the shade, chimed in a most
melancholy howl. The engine occupied
only twenty-five minutes in running from,
Bismarck TO Mandan, and made the round
trip in an hour and half, some time he.
ing spent at Mandan; The train rar
across the bridge at good speed, aud moi

'IAXPAYER.
" hat They Say.

An Alert reporter went out yesterday
afternoon to interview such members of
tina board Of trustees as he could find
upon the subject Of the communication
IN reference to the delegate bill of Sl43.5O
allowed by them at the late meeting of
the board The first one cornered
was L. I Bush, president Of the board,
who was busy in his office but gave a
willing ear to the inquiries of the report
er, and gave substantially the following
IN reply: He said he did not think it
right in principle, and at the time and
still doubted its legality, but asscnted to 1t
on the principle of 'whcn in tome do as
Rome does He had understood that
Grand Forks are other towns had paid
such bills in this way, and although that
was no evidence that 1t was right, it was
10 go through as custom. He said the
principle was wrong, and although he
had not consulted the law upon the sub
jcci, common sense would reject it. The
precedent was bad and the thing must
come to and end sometime, and the sooner
the better.
The nex member of the board accosted
was Maj. Lyon, W ho, in answer to like
inquiries, said in substance as follows:
When the subject first came up the board
had serious doubts about their legal right
to pay such bills out Of the public fund,
but they were assueed by the city attorney
and several other attorney in town that
they had the right to do so, and as they
We're importuned by a majority Of the
business men in town to pay the bill out
of the town fund, they did it. He acted
uponit in accordance with the advice Of
the attorneys and request Of a great
many of the business men. 1t was held
to be boom for the town, of like value
to the whole people, ond proper public
expense. But it was wrong; # they had
40 legal right TO pay the bill, the matter
might yet be reconsdered. He wanted
to do what was right and lawful in the
matter, and if they have exceeded their
powers he was in favor of correcting the
error.
Owing to the iateness of the hour the
reporter failed to find any of the other
members Of the board to learn their
views and feelings upon the question.
Ike Alert is satisfied, however, that the
board Of trustees acted in the matter
without any other than a good motive,
and il. they have gone farther than the
law will sustain them, the error will be
corrected so far as 1t is in their power to
do

Railroad Meeting Last Nisnt.

F'om the Daily, Wednesday.
The railroad committee of the Board
of Trade held a meeting last night at the
Office of B. s. Russell at which all the
committee Was present. 1t was agreed to
incorporate in the name Of the James
town g. Sioux Falls Railway Company,
these two places being the extreme tcrml
nal points Of the road. $4,000 of the
stock is already subscribed by seven or
eight citizens of jamestown and as much
more promised. The enterprise takes
well with our capitalists and there is no
doubt of the complete success of the un-
dcrtaking. Messrs. H. NJ. Winslow,
Thos. Lloyd and E. I. Wells were ap-
pointed committee TO draft articles of
incorporation, upon the reporting, ap
proval and fling Of which with the Sec
retary of the Territory the company will
be in shape to proceed to the business of
soliciting and securing stock along the
line. a charter will be applied for at the
next session the legislature, and we
believe that by this time next year the
road will be far advanced toward a
thorougfare, outlet md inlet to and from
the south. The neel and advantage of
railroad to the south is recognized and
conceded by all, and all the people have
to do to secure 1t is to put their shoulders
to the wheel and push the enterprise for
ward.

Boss Tweed1sm.

EDITOR ALERT.-Squandering and mis-
appropriating the public funds have be-
come so common that unless it be "clear
CASE" the people scarcely think 1t worth
while to enter a protest. But when it
comes to paying hotel bills for the dele
gates to a political convention, as the viii
lage board of trustees at this place did
short time ago, out of the public funds, it
is time for Il c people and taxpayers to
enter protest that will etfectualy put q
quetus upon that kind of appropriation
of the public funds. Here we are without
any fire eXtin gushing apparatus, exposed
day after day and night after night to
destruction by fire, and instead of pur-
chasing something for protection IN this
regard, the village board, with GOODNESS
that would make stole vince, deliber-
ate]y put their hands INTO the pockets of
our citizens and taXpayrcs, and liquldate
a hotel ILL of S l43 so for a lot OF politicians
who came here and had good time on
high living and fancy cigars while our
taxpayers were at work in their shops and
stores and on streets 10 pay the bill.
Boss Tweed in all his glory never con-
ccIved such a high handed and open
scheme of public robbery.
The charter, in enumerating the specific
duties and powers Of the board of trustees
provides in sec 50 that, ID addition to Il e
powers herein before granted, the board
Of trustees shall have power, among other
things, ''to audit and allow all lawful
accounts and claims against said village"
Their powers in respect to auditing and
allowing accounts and claims begin and
end with that clause Section 80 pro-
vides also that no claim or account shall
be so audited Or allowed unless it shall
be made out IN items and endorsed by the
affidavit Of the person so claiming.
1t is usel IS to multiply words on this
subject. 1t is Boss Twecdism that out

What Might Be.

The proposed meeting of the officers OF
the two temperance organizations ana
literary society suggests to the Alert, ana
it gives 1t to the societies as Il suggestion,
that it would be good plan for these sew
eral societies to combine and work to-
gether for library aud reading room in
jamestown. There could certainly be no
disagreement among them upon the ad-
vantage and utility Of such laudable
enterprise, nor much contention about
the manner and means to be employed IN
dong it. There might be several differ
ent plans, any one of which would bring
about the desired result, or all combined
might secure the end desiled still more
speedily. The Alert, however, wonId
suggest one plan of many that might be
suggested, and that is to provide series
of lectures, to be given at convenient
times during the winter. 10 provide
agains, contingent loss, season tickets
might be placed on sale, and wait until
enough of these had been sold to cover
all expense, before securing the lecturers,
and incurrlng the expense, and all above
that would be profit. The Alert has no
doubt but that enough season tickets
could be sold among our liberal and pub
lie spirited people, in very short TINE,
to guarantee all the necessary expense
and leave a large margin for probable re-
ce,pts besides. There are great many
talented aud popular lecturers IN the
field, who would give us reduction on
their regular fee, on account OF the oo-
iect in view. Not only these, but many
who are not professional lecturers, would
favor US with as good in many respects
as the professional, for t1sil expenses.
Col. Donan, of Fargo, for Instance, who,
as an interesting and entertaining speak
er. and as an orato or, is the peer OF any
man in America to-day, the Alert be-
l,eves would favor us IN this way for the
good Of the cause, cause in which lie
is heart and soul interested, Other men
of distinguished ability, who, like Col.
Donan, are imbued with the generous
and liberal spirit characteristic OF the
Great Northwest, weald also fayer Us III

Self MARRIAGE,

The following is perhaps as good way
as any, though the ministers might OBJ
ject to it on account of its doing away
with the V or X fee. A young lady of
Pike, Bradford Co., Pa, named Flora
Patton wrote an article in theTruth Seek
er under the caption of "Mental Liberty"
which came under the notice Of John W.
Abbott of Canton, Fulton Co., Ills,
which so favorably impressed him that he
wrote. A correspondence ensucd, photo
graphs were exchanged, proposal of mar
riage made and accepted providing things
were as they appeared when they should
meet which they did by appointment the
the 9TH inst, six months after the first
correspondence. The meeting proved en-
tirely satisfactory and within two hours
they were married in tho following novel
manner, in the presence of a justice of
the peace
Mr.. Abbott said: cit is not good for
nan to be alone is a conclusion sanctioned
alike by reason, experience and the ma
,ure of things. The natural, and there

LATE DISPATCHES.
A Tennessee Blundsr.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l9.-Col D. B.
Henderson, secretary OF tho republican
national congressional committee, has
been advised of a serious defect in thu
law passed by the Tennessee legislature
to arrange the congressional districts IN
that state. It appears the bill for this
purpoee was passed in the Tennessee
senate, was amended In the lower house,
and through clerical error three cOun-
ties, Cumberland, Meigs and Rhea, which
by the late senate bill were assigned TO
the Third district, was omitted from the
bill as amended III the lower house, was
finally agreed to by the senate, but the
error was not discovered and corrected.
AS a consequence these three counties
are not assigned to any congressional dis
trlct, and the voters residing in them,
should the election be held under the
new law, will be debarred from
voting for representatives IN congress.
Col. Henderson thinks the voters Of these
counties cannot constitutionally be de-
prived of their right to vote for represen-
tative, and if the defect Is not remedied 1t
may vitiatc the title to the seat Of every
member elected under the law. He has
suggested that the governor Of Tennessee
call special session of the legislature Tor
the purpose of remedying the defect.
