RAILROAD NOTES.

Great excitement has prevailed in
the neighborhood of Wells and other
towns in Southern Minnesota during
the past ten days over the report that
the government had taken back from
the railroad company all the lands
granted to the old Southern Minnesota
company by an act of congress in 1857,
and that all the lands were subject to
entry under the homestead and pre-
emption laws. Acting upon this re-
port claims were filed upon several inn
proved farms by parties who desired
to enrich themselves at the expense
of the settlers. The towns along the
line of the Southern Minnesota divis-
ion of the Milwaukee & st Paul road
have been filled with eager and ex.
cited throngs who are anxious to OBJ
tain desirable properly at nominal fig
ures. This action is based upon de-
cision of the commissioners of the gen.
cral land Office, but the case will not
end until the supreme!court is reached,
for those who have spent their best
years in improving their farms will
hardly consent to give.them upwithout
a vigorous contest, And in the end
we do not believe that the land sharks
will have cause for jubilation.-Ma
kato Free Press.

4 most disastrous con aegration.
LOSSES orer 500, ,eoo.s@
Last Saturday morning ut about
o'clock the large hotel i'm Cokato wa
discovered to be on fire, and an alarm
sounded, which speedily brought tn
entire population to the scene. 4
brigade was at once formed and effort
made to sabdue the flames, but with
out success, and before they wer,
brought under control fully three
fourths ofthe town was ruins. There
were about 10 guests in the hotel, ant
the flames spread SO rapidly that they
were obliged to flee for their lives
For some reason three men, laborers
in the employ of the railroad compa-
ny, were unable to effect their escape
and were burned to death. One man
was named Shepherd, another Will
Jams, and the third Kelly. After the
fire was subdued their remains were
removed from the ruins, and so badly
charred were they that the three
bodies together would not weigh more
than 60 pounds. Another guest in his
haste to escape, jumped from window
and broke a leg. The fire spread rapid
ly both up and down the street, being
favored by the cross winds prevailing.
First blowing from the northeast.
then veering to the southwest, it ig-
nited Paul Johnson's jewelry store on
the south side of the street and Hans
Englund's saloon on the north side.
It then crossed the street to vacant
building formerly occupied as hotel
and store. 1t then continued south
ward on both sides of the street, de-
stroying everything in its path. The
losses are roughly estimated at $780,.
900, the entire business portion of the
place being burned, except two stores,
one saloon and two or three black
smith shop. The origin of the fire
was undoubtedly incendiary, as there
had been no fire in the hotel since
supper time, The billiard table agent,
who broke his leg, arriving on a late
train, was forced to put up with a
cold lunch. He was awakened in
time to get out, gave his vest, contain
ing a gold watch and diamond pin, to |
some one and then jumped or tumbled
)ut of the window, instead of making
/ rope of the bed clothes or going
lown the stairway. Every person in
own had dirty face when Mr.. Aus
lin reached there yesterday morning.
There had been animosty and bad
blood between the hotel men, and peo-
Die are putting this and that together
n tracing the alleged incendiarism.
Mrs. Perkins, ,landlady at the Atlantic,
escaped in her night clothes, as did
most of her guests. The three large
Elevators which stand across the track

rhe man who tried to save the three
men who were cremated, said he
cached them; that they were

It their legs they kicked him away
md he was forced to fly or burn to
leath. Mr.. Austin is loud in his
praise of the heroic fortitude with
which the people of Cokato bear their
great loss. He did not hear murmur

An Absent Minded Lady.

All the Year Round.
An amusing instance of this infrmity
is recorded by that indefatigable
chornicler. Tallemant des Reaux, in
his notice of Nine. de Rohan, mother
of the first duke of that name, who
was SO deplorably subject to "distrac-
tom as to furnish continual entertain
ment both to court and city. Paying n
visit one day, accompanied by n lady
friend, to Nj. Deslandes, n grave legal
functionary, and being told that he was
expected home shortly, she decided to
await his return, and meanwhile in
stalled herself comfortably in his usual
sitting-room, where according to her
custom, she fell into n reverie and inn
agined that she had never left her own
house. On the arrival of the magis-
trate half an hour later she received
him with the respect due to SO distin-
guished visitor, and insisted on his
dinning with her and her companion;
whereupon Nj. Deslandes, whose ordi-
nary fare was the simplest, despatched
his servant to the nearest "traiteur" in
quest of n supplementary dish or two,
in honor Of the occasion. When the
dinner-such as it was-made its APP
pearance, Nine. de Rohan, still fancying
hersef to be the hostess, glanced dispar-
agingly at the meagre repast, and ap-
pologlzed for its insufficiency to her sup
posed guest, observing that he would
probably have dined better at home.
Fearing that she might continue in a
similar strain, her friend quietly asked
herif she knew where size was; and this
bringing her to her senses, she suddenly
recollected that she had already ac-
cepted an invitation elsewhere, and
hurried away without vouchsafing
another word to the astonished M. Des-
landes, leaving him to enjoy his impro
vised banquet as best he might.
