that the former road would build into

was questioned regarding the truth of
these rumors, and to both lie gave an
emphatic denial.
And special from Fargo dated Dec.

Secretary Edwards stated to day that
during the recent conference with the
Manitoba officials in St. Paul, the

Miller, the Manitoba Attor ley, has now
in his pocket. The extinguishment Of
the quarrel between the lines is viewed
here very favorabiy, as the continu-
alton Of the fight, while it would do no
good, was productive OF many vexa-
tious delays and recriminations.
So, we suppose, the Fargo Southern
will build on in the spring unmolested
by the Manitoba. The next attempt OF
the St. Minneapolis interest. how.
ever. will probably be to try and head
the road off in some other direction.
But all their attempts are too late
st. Paul and Minneapolis are just be
ginning to realize that the great move
ments on the railroad chess board are
to secure short lines from Chicago anC
st. Louis to the new northwest and
that these lines are passing south OF
them, Il fact which the ADVANCE has
been proclaiming and commenting or
for three or four years.
AS Il means OF Trading off these Chi
cagO and st. Louis movements, WE
notice that st. Paul men are suggesting
the building OF the projected road K
the Sault, crossing between Lake Su
perior and the lower lakes, and secur

ANOTHER ANNUS MIRABILlS

Il Year ot Terrible Calan.ities-Death
IN Every F1rm-List Of Casualties,
Murders, Etc.
At the beginning of the year 1881 the
ADVANCE published an article under
the heading of Annus M,rabi'is, giving
a number of prophesies, ETC., concern
ing the period which the world was
then entering. Astronomy and astrol-
ogy combined to pronounce the period
beginning with 1881 as the beginning
of a new cycle, and history came for
ward to show that perihelion periods,
like the present, had always been mark
ed by great disturbances in nature and
equally great disturbances among the
human race. This calamitous period
was to culminate between 1881 and
1887, and terrible wars, involving most
of the leading nations, were mentioned
as among the terrible yisitations which
were to harass and decimate the ranks
Of mankind.
The year just passed seems to have
made good part of these doleful pre-
dictions and 1888 will long be remem-
E,Aered as one of the most remarkable
for casualties involving the loss OF
human life that history records. Al
exchange clasei6es and foots up the
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1884-01-03

To these are added other statistics of
the loss of human life, making sim
gular and sickening record.
Thus the deaths by accident in the
United States foot up 6,973, OF these,
died from fright. by slipping on the
ice, Q by falling icicles, 1s by toy pis-
tolls, 2 by explosion of beer kegs, 5 by
choking to death or tough beef, l by fly
bite and by bee sting.
Other death statistics in the United
States are as follows:
Murders, 2,a2o
Suicide, 1,54S
Executions, 146
Mob vengeance, 175
The fire record of the year is also re-
markable, the losses footing up $780,
100000.

The Legislature should, at once,
repeal the law that requires publ
cation of a Jury list 80 days before
\ session of the District Court.
There is no more use for his require
ment than there is for a fifth wheel
to a wagon.
It only obstructs the prompt ad
ministration of justice to the injury
of the tax payer, and the benefit of
he law breaker.
One publication is amply suff
cient aud it that was made, no
harm could come to the peaceful
citizens of the State.
Here, to day, in the Parish Jail
are eight or ten law breakers, and
in order to have them tried, the
list of jury-men must first be pub
lished for fifty days, from which no
earthly good can come. whilst the
Taxpayers Of the Parish pay four
or FIVE dollars per day to board
those prisoners, who, if guilty Of
crime should be promptly punish
ed, aud if innocent, ought to d.
part in peace.
The Legislature can make grea'
changes in the criminal Jurispr,
dence of Louisiana if they will g
to work and frame laws for tn
benefit Of the law abiding, and no
the law breaking population.
