LAC QUI PARLE, Aug. 23.-There seems to be
quite change in regard to the forthcoming
campaign this fall Blaine's honesty is more
doubted than before. Cleveland is gaining
ground every day. Those that have been Repub-
licans with both soul and body are more mute
and silent, and seem TO be convinced that the
Republicans are safer in gathering around the
Democratic candidate than their own. The rea-
son for the change may partly come from an ar
ticle published In Budstikksn, weekly newpa-
per published In Minneapolis. The said article
was written by ex-senator j. A. Johns on, of
Wisconsin. In his correspondence he says, that
in April, 1869, Blaine as speaker in the house of
representatives, used all his infnence to renew
the land grant to the Little Rock & Fort Smith
railroad, and if it had not been for his influence
the road would never have been built, stating
that IN June. the same year, he iBlaine) applied
to Fisher, one OF the owners and managers of
the Little Rock & Fort Smith railroad, for his
pay for services rendered in the house, and that
since he was an influential man there is reason
to believe that he had part in it before the re-
newaI Of the land grant, Joe

DIAMOND SUNNI MARIES.
The Milwaukee Team Leading for the
Northwestern League Pcnnant,
With Minneapolis Second.
Providence has the Advantage in the National
League and Metropolitan in the
American Association.
North,ceste,.,, Lana,.e,


The now series of the reorganized North
western league opened on Tuesday at Winona,
the Milwaukee team securing then the first vic
tory by score of to l. Milwaukee took the
second game of Winona by score of 12 to 2; the
third of st. Paul in thirteen innings by score of
to s. the fourth of ST. Paul by score of 8 to 8,
and the fifth Of Minneapolis in twelve innings by
a score of 9 to s. Minneapolis won of st. Paul
by 8 to 0. of Winona by to 0 (forfeit) and to
2. St. Paul won Of Winona by to 5. Milwau-
kee has decided lead, but the Cream City
team is not materially stronger than the other
three Two Of the five games won were secured
through erroneous decisions by umpires and the
third was SO meager victory as not to be good
evidence of superiority. We believe the struggle
will be close and exciting one, and although
it would perhaps be safest to bet on Mil
waukee, it is by no means certain that the pen
nant will not go to Winona either of the other
two cities. The only perceptible advantage Mil
waukee now has is in pitchers. All of the other
teams are better feders 1t is unfortunate that the
ST. Paul team is so weak in its pitching material.
We are assured that the financial shakiness of
the league has been the cause of the failure OF
the home management to secure one or two
pitchers. Manager Thompson says he could
have secured either Brown or Clarkson, but there
was no one who would back him in paying the
salaries they asked and as he was not able TO ad-
vance the money from his own pocket he had to
allow them to go elsewhere. The matter is there
fore reduced to business basis-we can't have
what we want unless we have money to pay for
it. If some individual with an abiding interest
in the national sport will come forward with q
sufficient quantity of legal tenders we can yet
have frst-class pitcher, otherwise the team
will be obliged to finish the season with ordinary
twirling timber.

BOSTON, Aug. 23.-The Butler men had their
adjourned meeting to-day and perfected their or
ganization. The leaders who were present on
Wednesday were on hand with numerous re-
cruits. all parts of the state being represented,
and that nondescript party terming itself the
Butler Independent party came over in body,
with John l. Baker at its head, and pooled its
issue with the Butler Democrats. A number of
speeches were made, all full of laudation of 'sthe
old man. and wonderful results were again
predicted. Col. Plympton, Judge McCafferty,
Ex-Mayor Buffam, of Lynn, and Charles H. Litch-
man made the chief speeches. committee
was appointed, composed mainly of seceders,
mainly from the Democratic state committee, to
have charge Of the campaign until the state con-
vention is held and to prepare for a ratification
meeting. A constitution was also adopted which
provides for complete organization beginning
in voting precincts, The proceedings were char
acterized throughout by business-like determi-
nation as well as by great enthusiasm. At the
same time the Democratic state committee was
in session receiving letters of resig-
nation. Col. A. G. Woodworth, OF
Chcopee, who ran for lieutenant
governor with Butler in 1879, and was member
OF the committee at LARGE sent in his declination
to serve longer, and Frank Edison, of Hadley,
another member, also resigned, making six in
all to date. All these designations are based
solely on the Butler issue. There is general
feeling that there will be virtual union of al
the supporters Of Gen. Butler upon a single elec
toral ticket, and Col. Drinkwater. while con-
ceding that Blaine will carry Massachusetts,
prophesies larger vote for Butler than for
Cleveland.

FREE FREIGHTS.
The Chicago & Northwestern (Winona s.
ST. Peter division) and the Chicago, Mil
waukee s. st. Paul Qowa and Minnesota
division), with most commendable gener-
osity have made the following offer to exhib-
itors: All freight on articles offered for ex-
hibition are to be conveyed both ways '.free. :"
The exhibitor is to pay full freight at Owa-
tonna when he receives his exhibits and upon
the presentation Of certificate from the sec
retary of the State Agricultural society, to the
effect that he has exhibited the articles
named, he will be refunded the freight paid
and be given "free shipping bilp' to the
place of original shipment. Visitors who
purchase a full fare ticket from their homes
to Owatonna will also be returned by these
companies for one-fifth fare. The attention
Of the farmers of Minnesota is called to this
liberal offer on the part of these much abudes
necessary evils, the railroads.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-The following special
dispatch was received here from London to-day
by one Of the Wall street news agencies:
"The RaiIaOay Nea0s Of this morning, in o
leader says:
ERIE RAILWAY EARNINGS
ten years ago were over $40, 600, 900; this year,
including the New York. Pennsylvania & Ohio
earnings, they barely reach ST. 100000. The COM
pany became bankrupt ten years ago, with debt
of only $40, 100000. The debt now is over $780,
100000, with an additional $24,0O0,O00 annual
rental Of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio,
and the Chicago g. Atlantic lines. Therefore,
what can now be the result, even if the floating
debt is capitalized, which seems impossible, ex-
cept by an assessment of the shares.n
The Neaos thinks Mr. King is the right man in
the right place, but that he will not consider the
shareholder, after his Marietta & Cincinnati ex-
perience. 1t thinks that Mr.. Kings appointment
should have caused fall, rather than a rise in
stock. Instead of reducing the expenses, Mr..
King will charge everything legitimate against
the revenue, as he did with the Marietta g Gin
cinnati 1t hopes that the result will not be finally
as bad for the Erie as was the result with the
Marietta first and second preferred. The ordi
nary shares were not worth the assessments
King and Powell levied on them,
PASSENGER RATE CUTTING.
Commissioner Fink said to the GLOBE CORES
pondent to-day that the troubles in the passen-
ger department of trunk lines or their con-
nections could have no effect upon the
freight department. The freight pools,
he said, were working well, including
those recently established at st. Louis, Peoria,
Indianapolis and elsewhere. Drafts on different
roads drawn by him in the settlement of differ
ence account of excessive freight carried
were being promptly met. A draft of this kind
for $4,000 drawn against the Wabash yesterday
he had been told by the proper officials of that
company, had been ordered paid. Mr., Fink
thought that the cutting of passenger rates
would probably continue until some time next
month. 1t could be stopped at any time that the
roads wished to stop it. But such troubles us
ually run certain course and the roads would
probably first learn by experience again that the
cutting did not pay before they restored rates.
He also said that there is no truth in the report
that he had advised the other trunk lines to
fight the Grand Trunk.

to return. In the second round
Burke tried the same tactics, but
Walsh rushed in furiously, and fierce half
arm fighting occurred. At the break Burke
caught his opponent with tremendous blow
on the neck, sending him to the corner of
the stage. Welsh recovered very quick for
the third round, which was sharply fought.
Walsh got in some hard blows on Burke's
face and chest, and the latter second before
time was called knocked Welsh ''silly" by a
heavy blow under the right ear. This prac-
tically ended the fight. In the last round
both men were cautious, but back cut Of
Burke's sent Walsh reeling forward and won
laundering applause. Burke was carried off
the stage in triumph.

american association.

The only change in relative positions in the
American association during the past week was
the forcing of St. Louis back to fourth position
by Louisville. Metropolitan and Columbus, how
ever, have increased their lead over the other
three Of the solid five, and it now seems reason
ably certain that the former will win the pen
nant with Columbus good second. Probabili-
ties point to great fight between Cincinnati,
Louisville and st. Louis for third place, with a
possibility of the present champion team, Ath-
letc, bobbing up serenely as q disturbing ele-
ment. 1t is not unlikely that the latter will
snatch the place from the others. The week has
been fruitful of surprises, On Monday Horace
Phillips Pittsburg team beat the Metropolitan
team by a score Of to o. On the same day
Toledo beat Columbus to and the former gave
Louisville similar dose on Saturday. 1t was
on Saturday also that the indianapolis team took
a game of st. Louis by score OF to 9. The
difference in strength between the teams is OBJ
viously not SO great now at the beginning
the season. The result to date is appended:

POISONED WEDDING CAKE.
A Menomonle Nuptial Gathering Made
Sick by Eating Cake.
Especial Telegram to the Globe

Special Telegram to the Globe.
MENoMoNIE, Wis, Aug. 24.-Over thirty
persons were poisoned at a wedding about
six miles east of this city yesterday Edward
Eberts was married, and had an old fashioned
German gathering. After returning from
church and eating supper they commenced
getting sick. They were taken with severe
pains, cramps, convulsions, vomiting and
diarrhea, after which they would become
cold and senseless. The large party became
thoroughly frightened, the women rushing
from the house, fearing cholera or some
other contagious disease had attacked them,
and the men were so scared they could not
hitch up their teams, and horses, harness
and wagons became inextricably mixed up.
When they got team ready they would load
up family of insensible, cramping and
vomiting inmates and start them for
their several homes. The half
dozen brought to this city
are all out of danger except Minnie Swami,
whose life is despaired of. Albert Quilting,
banker, is out of danger. The Swami girls
brought some cake home with them. Their
mother ate some and took sick soon after
The minister and his wife left before the
sickness commenced and took some of the
wedding cake. This morning before they
heard of the sickness the latter ate some of
the cake and she took to vomiting, but is not
considered in danger. The last news from
the country was that there were no deaths
yet, but that Miss Martha Cuttow was not ex-
pected to live, she being in spasms and con-
vulsions continuously. The bride and groom
were taken sick Also 1t is supposed that
poison was bought through mistake in pur-
chasing baking powder or in the essences
used in seasoning the cake. All who ate Of
certain cake were affected. DIR. Nichols is
attending the cases in the country, and DR..
Deiker those in the city.

The unusual number Of entries already
made and which are sweeping down upon
the devoted head of the secretary and his
assistants daily are perfectly astonishing
Both at home aud abroad the fame of the
annual exhibitions of our State Agricultural
society has become so thoroughly established
that exhibitors are sure not to pass it by
Machine men, stock men and all who desire
to stand well with and before the farmer
patronize it, and never in the history of the
society have they manifested so eager desS-e
to do so than at the present time. The tact
Is the annual fairs of this society are dgriessl-
t,srtE exhibitions and not circuses. They are
designed to promote the best interests of the
sgriculturalists OF the state by S system of
competitive exhibitions of the products of
the various branches of agriculture which
Minnesotians patronize and OF labor saving
machinery. That they have been wonder
fully successful in producing the most desir-
able results in this direction can be seen al
glance when the contrast is noted between
the exhibits OF twenty-six years ago and
those of later years. The grand and IN
eQuallei Improvements in stock alone
demonstrates this, and so long as this end
shall be kept in view the agricultural society
Of Minnesota will be an institution worthy of
patronage.

Inc Miner says Agent Scott Is In receipt OF
letter from @. s. Stebbins, General Ticket
Agent Of the Union Pacific Railway Com.
pany, stating that the rate Of fare from Butte
TO New Orleans, limited to twenty days, will
be $loz.75, and that the regular tourist rate,
limited to May 81, 1885, will be sl10. The
sale Of tickets will commence about Decem-

lowed the privilege Of stopping over at the
principal points Of interest along the route.
Surveyor General Harris, enc Of the Non
tana Commissioners, has already gone to
New Orleans, and W. A. Clark, Esq, the
other Commissioner, expects to 20 early In
January. Mr.. w. T. Boardman, Of Butte,
who is q well-posted Montana miner and
metalurgist, has gouo to New Orleans to ar
range and have charge Of the Montana
exhibit, which aggregates over forty tons of
ore'-some OF the finest the Territory en-
braces. While these are selected to repre-
sent the mineral resources Of the Territory
to practical and scientific miners, Mr.. Clark
has succeeded in securing some very attrac.

collection OF gold specimens belonging to

A Couple Of Unfortunates.

middle aged woman an her daughter
aged eleven years, we're brought here by Ma.
than Smith, Esq, from Garrison last Friday.
The conduct Of the woman was such that no
doubt seemed to exist there that she was do.
mentsd, and after reaching Deer Lodge she
broke away and raised so much disturbance
that Under Sheriff McTagus took charge Of
her on the street and conveyed her to the
Sheriff's building, whore she has since been
under the care Of Sheriff McMaster. As time
runs by It seems to be only extrsms hysteria
that ails her, and she, rs we'll a. her little
girl, tells sad story. 1t appears they were
originally from Grandy county, Mo. Two
years age with her husband, who appears to
be . worthless or careless person, they
went to Washington Territory and last year
removed TO Oregon, near Portland. At that
place she says her husband recently pur-
chased ticket for herself and the child to
Kansas City and that the conductor took IL
or she lost 1t. Anyhow, she was put off the
train at g arrison and wandered around until
brought to Deer Lodge as stated. She gave
her name as Drinkard and says she has rsla-
tivss who would reimburse the payment Of
her fare to Kansas City. II Is not improba-
bio she will be provided the means Of reach
ing home. The little girl is quite intelligent
and stands by her mother dsvotedly. Their
story seems TO be genuine and it Is case de-
serving Of sympathy. They have received
good care at the sherif's ofice, but consider
