day last
J. J. Haggard, one Of the prosperous bust
ness men of Eagle Lake, visited Mankato on
yesterday.
The Mankato stone monument for the
New Orleans exposition is awaiting shipment
at the quarry of W. B. Craig & Co. It is a
splendid specimen of the natural resource
Of Makato and viii be grand advertisement
for Minnesota during the continuance Of the

for our coppeFs after this, having had an as
sessment of four dollars and costs after
which he was satisfied 10 depart for home.
Richard Moon was run in under the va
grant act. He was not exactly drunk, but
his moral sense was more or less blunted,
and he imagined the world owed him a Hv-
ing anyway. Judge Porter advised him to
consult the wishes Of Sheriff Marks for a
period OF ten days.
The MankatO Roller rink was opened on
Monday evening in presence of a very fair
attendance Of spectators. Owing to a quite
serious illness Miss Nellie Fuller did not
skate, as was anticipated, DIR. Warner abso-
J lutely refusing to allow her to undertake an
exhibition. Tuesday evening she made hei
appearance, and, as usual, delighted those
who were present TO witness it. The rink is
in tip top order and the floor is Just grand.
Through the inadvertence Of some one the
GLOBE failed to show up at the regular hour
on yesterday, and there was a general feel
ing of regret. 1t is well to miss a thing
once in while in order TO know how tC

and hope 1t will not occur again.

"A
New YORK, Nov. 25.-The stock market
opened steady in the main. One OF two
stocks were 5S614 per cent. lower and Erie
scored X higher The particular feature of
the early part of the session was the weak
ness and activity of Northern Pacific prefer
red, and on account OF the selling movement
In that stock the whole market eased off du-
ring the first hour. But after the first prices
began to advance, and quite healthy reac-
ton was scored. Northern Pacific preferred
was down to 40% and up TO Az, st. Paul
fell awoy to 761S and went up to 7S14 North
western was down to s95S and rose 10 81 /;
Western Union fell off TO 60 and raised TO
60M; New York Central went down 10 S71I
and up to S914, and Lake Shore fell TO 65M
rose to 67%.
There have been rumors flying about for
several days concerning the settlement Of
the passenger rate war, but they are not
generally believed. Points were given out,
however, to buy New York Central aud Lake
Shore on account of some developments un-
favorable TO West Shore, which would come
to light soon. Lake Shore was thought 10 be
good for 2 or points upward, although it is
pretty generally understood that its next diyi-
dend will be passed. Action with regard 10
the New York Central dividend will be taken
about December 10.
Northern Pacific preferred was weak, on
account of the anticipated failure Of the Ore
gon Transcontinental company TO pay off an
So, 600, 900 loan falling due Dec. 1,
in which case Northern Pacific col
lateral would be thrown on the
market and its value reduced. The rise in
Erie stocks is owing to the last statement be-
ing better than was expected, and also the
fact that the road will have a new manage
ment. Texas Pacific affairs seem to be i'm
proving somewhat. Its October earnings are
given out as about $780, 900. Its officials
say there is no doubt of the snccess OF the
funding scheme. The bondholders' com
mittee met at Philadelphia yesterday and ar
ranged that the interest on the consolidated
bond should be paid in cash, and the ter
minal bond should be used as collateral in
borrowing money. The Germans were said
TO be buying st. Paul this morning. The pool
in Lackawanna marked the price up against
the shorts and also on account of an inn
provement in the local trade. Robert Gar
rett was thought likely to be the next presi-
dent of the Jersey Central, as the Baltimore
& Ohio people have been buying large guam
titles of its stock lately. Bear points were
still given out on Rock Island. As the day
advanced the market became very strong
and the late dealings were characterized by
much excitement and there was a well dis
tributcd business all along the leading shares.
Vanderbilt brokers appeared TO be buyers OF
Lake Shore, and the stock was very strong.
The shorts were scrambling for about every
thing on the list in the closing hour, and
large lines were covered at probably nything
but profit. The bulls appeared TO be in
complete control when the exchange closed,
and prices were all up to about the top notch
for the day. They may all be a sale to-mor
row.

passed he was again in difieultis, aud died
in 1888 at the Golden Lion, Newmarket, in
straitened circumstances.
Newmarket Heath has ever been favor
ite resort with Cambridge undergraduates of
the period, aud in Bob Munton's day they
intrusted him with all their business, and
this juvenile connection gained for him the
sObriquet of The Baby Jumper" Bob, they
say. had hack. appropriately enough son
OF Flatcatcher, who knew hacker as well as
his master, and would stop dead when one
approached just then Muntou was at the
height Of his success, he, unlike the jockey
in the story, "hedged," and giving up the
trade Of bookmaking, became dissenting
minister. This by no means exhausts the
list OF men who have, in some way or other,
been remarkable, and who owed their success
to bookmaking.
There was John Gully, fopinstance, who
was, in turn, butchers boy, prize fighter,
public house landlord, outside betting man,
member of Tattersalis, and NJ. P. for Ponte-
fract. He was taken out Of prison, where he
was confined for debt, by Colonel Melish, to
fight Pearce, ''the Game Chicken" He was
beaten, fought Gregson twice, and then re-
tired from the ring to settle at Newmarket,
where he used TO keep shell" and where
it is said be began a system of corruption
that ''piaced the secrets Of all Newmarket at
his disposal" a statement that may be a
little wide Of the mark, though trainers were
not then the men they now are.

Ribs were inactive as usual but frmer and
closed Sc higher at $3.50 for January and
s5.6215 for February.
Business was fairly active at the stock
yards. The receipts fell short Of the num-
Der expected, especially of Texans and
Westerns, OF which there were only
three or four trains. The general
market may be reported steady as to
prices, but the demand was not at all active.
Statesmen were disposed 10 hold their property
rather higher than yesterday and buyers were
slow and cautious IN making offers.
The hog market was rather weak at the
opening in expectation Of heavy receipts, in
stead of which there was such marked fall
ing off as to occasion general surprise, and
the market closed a strong 5010e above the
opening, with the pens nearly bare.

Dr.. J. S. 7. Baird writes the CRizea as fol-
lows: ''The people living in the vicinity of
Elk Mountain, both on the Reems creek and
Beaver Dam sides, were startled by strange
phenomenon about O'Clock on Saturday
morning, the 1st instant Standing as 1 did
on an elevation on my farm, with a full and
unObstructed view of the entire Elk Noun
tain range, and happening at the very mo-
ment to have my eyes turned in the direction
Of the point In question, it afforded me an
excellent opportunity 20 observe the whole
phenomenon. The morning was exceeding
" bright and almost ominously calm. At a
point about due north of my home, aud
seemingly Just over the crest of the mountain,
and at the hour above stated, there was what
seemed to be q most terrific subterrauean ex-
plOsion, followed by a very perceptible jarring
and trembling OF the earth for miles around,
aud a heavy rumbling sound, as OF the deep
intOnatiOns Of distant thunder, which came
on with increasing volume for several sec
onds. The sound proceeded with rapid un-
dulations in an eastwardly direction, follow
ing the course of the mountain and seeming 2
TO traverse the deep bowels of the earth, until
it reached point on the horizon OF our val
ley about forty-fve degrees east from where
it started, when it suddenly leaped forth from
the bosom of the mountain and lifting itself
far above the horizon pealed out upon the ear
like a mighty thunderholt, and thus 1t ended
as suddenly as it began.
81 have eonversed with one gentleman,
Mr.. A. F. Hamphill, who was on top of the
mountain in the immediate vicinity of where
the first shock occurred. He says that II
seemed to be directly beneath him, and the
sensation was as though the whole mountain
was tumbling from its foundation with a
fearful shaking and trembling of the earth.
learn that two other gentlemen, Mr.. Steve
/ Munday and Mr.. James Edwards, who were
on the mountain some two miles further east,
describe the sound and the shaking and
! trembling Of the earth as most appalling and
and terrifying, even putting the leaves Of the
| trees in rapid and lively motion. 1 have seen
other persons who felt and heard the shock
many miles away. But what renders it real
/ ly phenomenal was its recurrence about sun
| set on the evening of the same day. l wa:
in Asheyille in the enening and did not wit
ness the phenomenon at that hour, but am
/ told by a number of reliable persons tha
| there was a recurrence with the same charac-
/ teristics about the hour of sunset"

A French Fete.
From lie Monde, Paris.


A very pretty fete was given the other day
at the Chateau de Blicquy, near Sceaux. The
mistress of the house, dressed in Louis
Quinze costume, had transformed her park
into sort Of tea-garden. She herself, aided
by five pretty girls in Clarissa HarIowe hats
and print gowns, made eighteenth-century
fashion, served refreshments. In other parts
Of the park were tables prepared for TWO or
four persons, with cards. chess and baekgam-
mon boards, and there were merry-go-rounds
Aunt Sallys and swings. In the evening
there was "a dance on the green," with the
village musicians and fireworks; most Of the
girls and young married women looked
charming in their muslin dresses. One very
pretty dress was as follows: Petticoat of
maize ground, aud lined with maize surah,
was simply lifted up so as to show the lining
The foulard bodice had short basque, div
ided at the side, turned back, and lined with
blue velvet Lapels Of the same velvet
howed a waistcoat of maize. The elbowed
thieves had blue velvet cuffs edged with lace

Bismarck Tribune.
An Indian named Tsi-ung-che ung, one of
the nomads who have been roaming about
the city and vicinity for some time, per-
formed truly wonderful feat recently in the
presence Of a few admirers OF his tribe who
gathered to witness his exhibition of daring
and strength. The hero of the tale is a
Strong, square-built, good-looking Indian, and
his feat was to swim the Missouri with his
left hand tied behind him, his reward for this
being the hand and heart in marriage of a
daughter of one Of his fellow-scalpers. The
wonder Of the fact was not only in swimming
the treacherous stream with one arm fast
ened behind him, but in going in water al
most as cold as ice, with his buckskin trous-
ers on to catch the sand and threaten to pull
him to the bottom. At ten o'clock yesterday
morning the daring fellow was In readiness,
and his admirers, together with the girl of
his choice, were on the bank just above the
bridge so see him start. II was a thrilling
and pathetic scene. The young gallant gazed
up and down the treacherous stream, while
the girl ky-yied and sang in wierd, mourn
ful manner a seemingly plaintive love chant
IL was a novel and certainly interesting
scene.
Everything was In readiness. The young
Indian, with a graceful wave Of the right
hand, and amid the encouraging shouts of
the other reds, shook the hand OF the fair prize
for which he was risking his life, chopped off
little aboriginal music In 4 sort Of a good
bye, hallOO-if-I-dOn't-s 't-see-you-again air and
plunged into the river. A yell then went up
from the crowd of spectators. He struck out
boldly, padding himself along with one hand
When he reached the middle of the steam he
raised his arm and went straight down, dis
appearing beneath the muddy surface. As
the waters clossd over him the maiden, who
had been watching every movement with in
terest, manifested great nervous excitement,
and just as she was about to jump into the
frail canoe, which was half launched, her
lover appeared with a careless toss of the
head, and his raven locks foated upon the
surging warers. AS ne neared the opposite
shore the admiring braves, led by the girl, be-
gan waving their hands and singing song
of joy, and when he reached the bank and
stood facing his admirers, loud were the ex-
carnations of gladness sent up from the
point where he started.

Cans for Housr Henr.

Caps for house wear are smaller and more
peculiar than ever. The oldest fabrics serve
for this purpose. Many caps are formed Of
handkerchief Of lace, foulard, or embroid-
cred batiste. They are plated and one bor-
der sits fiat against the head, while the two
halves Of the other border are joined at the
back. This draws the plaits out Of the back
of the cap, so that the narrow fat part on
the top Of the head becomes larger towards
the ears and sits closely to the head. The
cap is trimmed with satin ribbon or velvet
loops arranged in aigrette style. A pretty
cap is Of ''prelat" velvet lined with pink sa.

The shipments of freights over the mexi-
can Central Railway from the United States
via FL Paso has grown so difficult of late that
shippers are completely discouraged. Mexi-
can merchants complain bitterly, but are
forced TO submit. / have investigated the
matter and find that the trouble is caused
solely through the selfshness Of General
Pena, secaetary Of finance. General Pena
was collector of the port of Vera Cruz when
President Gonzales requested him to accept
the treasury portfolio. Pena replied that he
could make more out Of his percentages and
fines as collector OF Vera Cruz. Gonzales as
sured him that he could retain the profits of
the Vera-Cruz eustom-house in addition to
his profits as secretary of finance, with this
understanding Pena accepted. The opening
of the Mexican Genital Railway diverted full
IL so per cent Of the Vera Cruz business to
FL Paso; To check this loss of business land
private profts) Pena removed the Paso del
Notre collector, gentleman esteemed by
everyone, and sent trusty henchman from
Vera Cruz to preside in his place. Immedi-
ately a system Of obstruction was Inaugural
ted that has grown from bad TO worse, until
the Mexican Central Railway hardly earns
expenses, while scores of loaded cars destined
for ports in Mexico lay on the American side
of the Rio Grande unable to pass the custom
house at Paso del Norte. Even goods in
bonds for interior points, shipped in full ac-
cordance with Mexican laws, were detained
and duties demanded. Numerous cases are
on record where duties in full were collected
at Paso del Norte, and forcibly collected again
at chihuahua, the officers at the latter place
refusing even receipt for the money. A
claim for damages of this kind is now pend
ing in the hands Of our secretary of state.
