animals posterior. In fact the affair devel-
oped in less than half minute into a dead
open and shut runaway. Mr.. Ardle, see
ing that he was about to plunge like whirl-
wind into a street full of vehicles on the
corner of Seventh and Wabashaw streets, with
great presence of mind, threw his whole force
upon the left rein and succeeded
in running the maddened beast upon the
stoop of the Market hotel, directly opposite
the Market house, colliding with and tearing
out two wooden posts and weakening an
other, while the load was landed upon the
walk in all shapes, the smashed wagon sur
mounting the wreck. The horse escaped
without scratch and Mr.. Ardle with rough
bruises on his head, arm and back How
the latter got off with his life was mystery
to those who witnessed the capsize, as in it
he was landed on the sidewalk with the lum
Der and broken wagon literally upon his
back. He said that he was mighty lucky to
get out of it as he did, and the public owe
him thanks for presence of mind and
courage exhibited which saved limbs if not
lives in that always team and pedestrian
crowded locality.

The Lumber Pool,

As announced few days ago, the lines
running to Des Moines agreed last Thursday
at Com missioner Carman's office to form a
lumber pool. The fact that the position of
the Wabash was q little uncertain, however,
induced the other lines to defer putting the
pool into effect. 1t has been agreed, how
ever, to advance lumber rates to Des Moines,
according-to the provisions of the following
resolutions:
RESOLVED, That, taking effect as soon as the
commissioner is notified that all existing con-
tracts are cancelled, the following rates shall
be established and maintained in good faith
on lumber rates to Des Moines: From Chi
cago, Milwaukee and common points, and
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Minnesota trans
fer, to Des Moines, Is cents per one hundred
pounds; From Keokuk, Fort Madison, Bur-
lington and Muscatine, 1913; from Daven-
port, Rock Island and Moline, 1115; from
Clinton, Fulton, Lyons, Sabula and Du-
buque, 10; from McGregor, Lansing, La
Crosse, Winona, Onalaska and Prairie du
Chen. IA; from Eau Claire, 20, and from
other Wisconsin points rates shall be on the
same basis as Eau Claire rates-viz. cents
per one hundred pounds above Chicago
rates; and that all business shall be reported
to the commissioner in order that all parties
in interest shall be advised of the movement
of tonnage.
The various roads have advised the COM
missioner that all existing contracts will be
Cancelled before Sept. 4, so that the new
rates will go into effect on that date. Goa

CHANCE for a !stane Rfde.

Parties coming from st. Paul or elsewhere

opportunity would be had of viewing the

Dakota charging as high rates as the North

made in money way. As the trip occupies
but two days there would be little cause for be-

Formed Mortga0es.

The Pembina Express relates this peculiar
case where parties seem to have perpetrated
fraud by personating claim owners Joseph
R. Andrew and Edward Mansell, two young
men from the east, settled upon two quarter
sections in this township, and in the fall
made proof and returned east. In June of
1888, two parties representing themselves
as Messrs. Andrew and Mansell made appli
cation to an agent of E. B. Eddy IL Son, OF
Fargo, for loans on the above described lots
and were granted $500 on each place. Knowl-
edge of this action did not reach Messrs.
Andrew and Mansell until recently Andrew
bargained for the sale OF his place a short
time ago. and an abstract from the registers
Office showed mortgage of $500 against his
place to his great surprise. About the same
time Mansel received notice from f. B.
Eddy d Son that interest on his coupons
were due and must be settled to prevent sale
of place under mortgage. The young men
are now taking steps TO have the mortgages
annulled, and viii no doubt be successful.

THE RAILROADS.

The TrGnsconttnentall Meeting at Saratoga.
The officials of the various transconti-
mental roads who have gone to Saratoga all
express the opinion that the meeting will end
in smoke. The object of the meeting is to
consider the notices of withdrawal from the
association by the Atlantic 81 Pacific and the
Texas IL Pacific railways, and 20 see what can
be done to prevent disruption of the
association. When those notices were first
given-about month ago-it was believed
to be due to the dissatisfaction of those roads
on account of the diversion of business by
the Southern Pacific via New Orleans. But
since then President Strong of the Santa Fe
has defined his position. He says that the
diversion of business had nothing to do with
the action of his company, but that it de-
cided to withdraw from the association be-
cause of its dissatisfaction with the tri-
partite agreement, which requires the Union
Pacific's allies to give all their through bust
ness to the Union Pacific, although some of
them had as good connections with the Santa
Fe at Atchison and Kansas City, and also
because the tri partite agreement allowed the
Union Pacific's eastern allies to make
through rates on west bound business, which
prevents the carrying out of agreements for
the maintenance of rates between the roads
west of the Missouri river. Accordingly,
Mr.. Strong has instructed Traffic Manager
Goddard, who attends the Saratoga
meeting, to refuse to enter into an
arrangement that would prevent the
Santa Fe from competing with the Union
Pacific on even terms for California through
traffic. Such being the case, it is not at all
probable that anything can be done at Sara
toga regarding the continuance of the Trans
continental association. Before any agree
ments for the maintenance of Colorado,
Utah, or California rates can be made, it
will be necessary to have the status of the
tripartite combination regarding that bust
ness defined. To make the formation of
pools or traffic agreements onColorado, Utah,
or California business possible it will be
necessary fer the tripartite roads to abandon
their agreement so far as it refers to the
aforementioned business. But there is but
little prospect that this can be done, because
the Union Pacific refuses to release its allies
from the stipulation which requires them to
give it all their through business, and so
long as the Union Pacific insists upon that
its allies refuse to cede their right to make
the through rates via the Union Pacific.

The 1rurderera OF rLne1.0..

Sheriff Larson, of Dickey county, has re-
turned from Wisconsin, with John and Hat
tie Dilley, who were traced there, charged
with the murder of Hackett, near Glendale.
The La Moure Chronicle has this statement of
the circumstances: "Hackett was an old
bachelor with some money, and lived on o
farm not far from Glendale. The Dilleys
worked for him. In the latter part of July
they all concluded to make trip into the
country about Devils Lake and prepared a
wagon with the necessary supplies for camp
ing out and started This was the last seen
of Hackett alive. On the I'd of August the
body of an unknown man, who had evil
IDENTITY been murdered, was found in a sink
hole eight miles northeast of Glendale, and
was afterward fully identified as that Of
Hackett. Sheriff T. n. Larson, of Dickey
county, commenced investigating the mat
ter, and found where the parties had eamped
the night the murder was committed, and
among the debris of the camping ground
discovered some tobacco of a peculiar brand,
which Hackett was known to use. This
served to convince the sheriff that John and
Hatty Dilley were the ones who had commit
ted the horrible deed. A search
was then begun by the sheriff,
which led him through several states. -

DID He Steal the Horse9

Several days ago a merchant on upper
Third street lost his horse, and not knowing
whether or not he was stolen, he advertised
for it, offering a reward of S25 if the animal
had strayed away, and $50 if it had been
stolen. a prominent Third street merchant
found the animal wandering away and had
him placed in public stable for the owner,
whoever he might be. The next morning
he aecidently saw the advertisement and
went to the stable, took the horse to the
owner and claimed the reward of $50. So
the question is now raised on him, as to
whether he stole the horse. According to
the advertisement II he takes the $50 it looks
as though he must admit that he was guilty
of pilfering the animal. 1t would shock the
community to have him make that admis-

ST. JOHN, N. F., Sept. Friday last,
thirty miles OF Catalina, Trinity bay, the
British war ship Mallard encountered the
British brig Resolven. The vessel was dam
aged on both sides, but her side lights were
burning and a fire was in the galley stove,
the sails all set, head gear gone and no sign
of crew or passengers. The Resolven left Har-
Dor Grace Wednesday last with crew of four
men and four passengers, bound for Labra-
dor. She had a general cargo. 1t is thought
the brig had been in collision with an iceberg
and 1t is feared all aboard were lost.

Formally ODened.

AT eight o'clock last evening the hall was
lighted with powerful electric illuminators
which made the scene as romantic and beau
of flowers and plants in every conceivable
style of grouping and with a drapery of vege-
tables and fruits of quality and size that
was simply astonishing.
The First Regiment band took the platform
and gave fine selection, at the close of
which Adam Poland, secretary of the society,
introduced Mayor O'Brien, who formally
opened the fair with a few appropriate re-
marks, in which he recognized the honor
conferred upon him by the society In delegat-
ing him thus to do. He said this grand dis
play of the products of the soil of Ramsey
county in vegetable and flower, made by the
forty-two members of this society in this its
first annual fair forcibly reminded him OF
the old proverb: 'God made the country
and man made the town." 1t showed us
how skillfully our agricultural citizenship
were following their profession outside as we
our professions and business in the town,
while the results of labor seemed tonight to
be largely in favor of the former. This won
derful display entitled the society to the
gratitude of every citizen of st. Paul and
Ramsey county, and the speaker trusted it
would be but one of the many similar fairs
which would follow it in the future.
Secretary Poland followed the mayor in g
| few remarks in which he thanked the society
and especially the ladies for their zeal and
enterprise in inaugurating the fair, after
which the evening was passed by the many
visitors in viewing this grand exhibition OF
what the soil of Ramsey county is capable of
when tackled by the hoe of the farmer and
