A MINNEAPOLIS LAND AGENT.
The Energy with which he Builds a City
Street in the Omen Prairie
Correspondence Ni1,oaukee Sentinel.

Correspondence AiIqodukee Sentinel.
Perhaps after the tremendous swiftness
and force of the maelstrom of business.
the most noticeable feature of the city is
the great number of its real estate agents
handsome, well-dressed and gentle
manly men-and the size and cOstliness
OF real estate, rooms and Headquarters.
These agents are the ones who make the
loud noise about Minneapolis and its
growth, beauty and prosperity. They are
everywhere, know everything and
everybody, and are interested
in almost every enterprise.
They discover a stranger in ten minutes
and in thirty minutes learn where he is
from, how much he is worth, how often
he has failed, what is his business, where
he intends to locate, and whether he will
buy Minneapolis property. They wheedle
the street car companies into building
lines blocks and miles out on the prairies
beyond house or habitatiOn, and then
buy and plat the farm lands adjoining
erect tenement houses on them and COM
mence terrific blow about Smiths or
Jones' new addition. While riding out
across the unfenced prairies three miles be-
yOnd the city, l came across two men.
One had his pocket full of signs and the
other carried an axe and bundle of stakes.
After pacing around for time in the tall
grass, the man with the hatchet drove a
stake and the other man pulled forth and
tackled to 1t ''ThiS house and lot for sale
or rent on easy terms" AccOsting him |
exclaimed: "Man alive, what do you
mean by putting up such a sign on an
unknown prairie? There isn't house
or street within mile of here" Look
ing up pityingly, and drawing a roll of
paper from his pocket, the agent re-
piled: "Here is the plan for a seVen-roOm
house. This afternoon twentV-four mon
will begin its construction. Here is a
contract for its lease already signed at
S25 per month, and a week from next Sat
urday the tenant will move in. My name
is Herrick. PHI sell you a lot fronting
this dOuble-track street car line on this
broad avenue for $4,000. Cheap as dirt.
Next week you can refuse $4,000 for your
property"
Catching my breath, protested: 'sBroad

Great King, this is an open prairie 1t

But from the other pocket jumped an
other roll of papers. "Here is the plat of

here is a petition for street car line. In
sixty days you will have both. Here

''Smallv yelled Herrick in tragic and
injured voice. "DO you call sixteen feet
front small? Why, you can build three
story house on that lot, and that is large
enough for anybody" At this | cut the
horse and galloped away through the
grass, lest l should fall victim to Her
rick's Establishments and schemes.

The Bed Chamber of an EIgin Hotel
the Scene of a Sensational Tragedy.
ELGIN, ILL, August 30.-A sensational
tragedy was eRacted here at O'Clock
this morning at the Mailing House. Ed
ward Joslyn, a son of Col. E. S. Joslyn,
citizen of standing, shot and killed Eta
buckingham, young woman of pleasing
address. Joslyn had been paying atten-
tions to Miss Buckingham for the past
year, the nature of which
has created some comment
and he has latterly displayed evidences
of fierce jealousy. He attempted to enter
her room this morning, and being denied
admission, forced his way into the apart
ment. There was a scuffie, two revolver
shots were heard, and the yonng woman
fell dead. Joslyn then shot himself dead
with the same weapon. JOslyn was a
nephew of Judge'M. l.. Joslyn, Assistant

A British View of 1t.


The States are at the present moment
over-supplied with the precious metals.
All the gold produced by their own mines
say 100000 pounds per annum-they
retain, and about 5000, 900 pounds of sill
yer dollars is annually forced upon the
country by the operation of the Bland
.law. The Americans are, therefore.
threatened with financial crisis of the
first magnitude amid an excess of cur
rency, and, that being so, the importa-
tiOn of gold from Europe could do
little to mitigate the severity of that
crisis. But, even were 1t of the ut
most value, we doubt whether America
could take it. Already our markets are
Overburdened with American wheat, and
the prlce of it is Is. per quarter less thau
it was year ago, through sheer excess of
supply. 1t would only be at the most
ruinous sacrifice that much more could be
instantly sold. Last year we took large
supply both of grain and cotton, and still
gold did not 90 to New York, although
prices were higher than they are now.
There is, therefore, little probability that
any more trade demand for cash will re-
suit in shipments OF the metal to New
York this year. There have been no an
ticipatOry drawings Of bills against future
shipments of produce, for the reason that
money has been too dear here for the
operation to pay. The credits which could
insure an export of gold could therefore
only arise from extensive purchases of
American securities here, and we do not
think that these will take place until the
markets on the other side have passed
through the storm. This being the posi-
tion, we can afford to look on with small
apprehension at what is taking place
in the States. Indirectly, a severe
dislocation Of credit there would
hurt our trade; but it does not
promise to produce embarrassment in
the London money market. And there
may, after all, be no such dIslocation. A
superabundance Of currency tends to in
fate prices, other things being equal, and
we should, therefore, expect that at the
worst it would prevent sudden and COM
plete credit disorganization in the States.
Worthless stocks will find their level in
the end, all the same, but they may do so
gradually, by successive stages, as it
were, in which case nothing like the over
whelming catastrophe of 1873 need be ap-
pretended.

NIAHONE's CONFERENCE.
His Peculiar Methods to be Tried
Throughout the South.

HIS peculiar Methods to be Tried
Throughout the South.
WASHINGTON, August 30.-Several of
the leaders of the anti-Bourbon movement
in the South met at General MahOnes
room at the Arlington last night, where
they remained in consultation until late
hour. Their presence here, and the fact
of their having met at General Mahone's
room, have given rise to many surmises
as to what was the object of
their coming together. They, them
selves, say that their meeting was
entirely informal, and not a premeditated
conference. That General Malone being
here they visited him, and finding them
selves tOgetherthe conversation naturally
turned on Southern politics in general,
and the prospects of a successful indie
pendent revolt against Bourbon rule
in particular. Among those present
at the meeting in General Mahone's room
last night were General LOngstreet, Gen.
Chalmers, Judge JetfOrds and George G.
GOrham. General Malone is said to have
spoken with confidence of the result of
the independent movement in Virginia.
1t is understood that it is generally agreed
that this movement should be extended
throughout the South, and that there was
an expression by those present of an
earnest purpose to do what can be done
to that end.
~ Senator Malone, General Longstreet
and Collector Brady, Of Petersburg, Va,
had conferences to-day with the Post
master General and First Assistant Post
master Genera. .HattOn.
