gaps in the line, which are to be filed BY
short.lines OF road, and arrangements have
been made for the prompt construction Of
these lines. Baltimore & Ohio officials are
retieent on the subject, but it Is known that
engineers Of the company hsye been on the

Death of Amelia Cummins

r Coroner Quinn and the police authorities
were busily engaged yesterday in trying to
establish the identity Of the aged woman who
was found frozen 70 death in the Sixth ward
last Sunday, particulars of which appeared
in yesterdays issue OF the GLOBE. Nothing
additional was discovered excepting that The
) body is supposed to be that Of Amelia Cum
Minis, somewhat dissipated woman who
has been known around town for several
years, but strange to say no one seems 10
know anything about her place Of RESIDENCE.
IL is stated on good authority that she was
last seen alive by q grocer and saloon keeper
In the Sixth ward; that she called at the
latter's place about midnight Saturday and
sat around until O'Clock, when ne closed
up aud put her out. This phase of the affair
will be investigated at the inquest which
takes place at noon to-day.
To further heighten the mystery Of the
case, a horrible suspicion was broache6 10
the police yesterday, which it is understood
they are now working on. The suspicion Is
that after leaving the saloon the woman was
enticed to the prairie BY a couple Of
scoundrels who took advantage Of her age
and condition to violate her person.. For the
sake OF common humanity tits &c. De ho5cd
that this suspicion is grdundiess. = re fullI

being practical man, no one is better
suited for the position, and being an old
soldier his appointment was just the right
thing. Capt Hayes enlisted in the 4th Wis

charged at New Orleans at the close of the
war on Aug. "a, 1865. For the last two and

reposed in him. Since leaving the army he
has been in the navigation of the St. Croix

HASTINGS, Dec. 22.-The public a.,
familiar with the shooting of VIM O'shaugh-
messy by Mary Milan at Mnsvine, Dakota
county, Sunday, December ii, as both were
leaving church. Three shots were fired, two
taking effect, and proving fatal, as the man
died on Saturday last. Before his death.
Distinguishes confessed thathe had seduced
the woman who shot him and that he was the
father Of her child. He professed deep con-
triton for his conduct and expressed the de,
sire that there be no prosecution growing out
of the manner Of his death On Tuesday
after the shooting, Mary Milan and her babe
were taken to the county Jail, and on the fol-
lowing day the babe died. Since the death
of the confessed seducer, It is said In his be.
half that he was willing TO marry tie woman
ne had injured, but she was not inclined.
The truth of this sermon has not been veri-
hed, and there was nothing in the last con-
fession OF the man to give it color.

eyeRing for tile New Orleans exposition.
DR.. HAYES is confined to the house By a
painful accident resulting from running
into wire close line during one of the cold
nights of last week. The wire caught under
the upper lid aud came in contact with the
eye ball above the pupil, which evidently
froze to the ball as it took away a piece of
the coating of the ball. The sight will not
be injured 10y the accident.
The public schools will not be closed to
allow the teachers to attend the exposition,
hence, only Miss Sheldon, of the High
school, expects to attend. The reason for
this is the fact that great many of the
larger scholars leave school early in the
spring and go to work, and as they have
only about four and half months in the
winter to attend school the vacation must BE-
short.

To the Editor OF the Globe:
Hon. D. L. Kiehle asked Prof. B.F. Wright
early in December TO make an arrangement
for an excursion to New Orleans for the
benefit of the teachers Of the state.
On looking the ground over Prof. WrifTht
found that man In Minneapolis was irving
10 get up an excursion via 81. Louis, aad that
col" Teasdale bad employed General J.
H.Hansou 10 get up one via bis line and Gin
cinnan. ''General'' Hanson had empoyed
Major Roselle 10 assist him. aud Prof.
Wright found that the only lines not com
mitted to any particular party were the Chi
cago, Milwaukee 81 St. Paul aud the Illinois
Central. The latter coma pany offered so
many advantages 10 tie teachers over az
others that Prof. Virgin arranged with il
and the Milwaukee & ST. Paul ralwsy. after
submitting the same 10 Mr.. Ksel,e
and securing his full and
unqualified approval. Mr.. Teasdale then
asked Prof. Wright 10 endorse his scheme,
but was Informed that it was too late and the
arrangements were made. Mr.. Teasiaie
then changed his route aud advertised the
Illinois Central, and all action taken since bv
him has been apparently with a view Of EN- bar
RAISING Prof. Wright in his efforts TO arrange
matters for the benefit Of the teachers. All
his efforts have been la vain, however. as
Prof. Wr!ght's party is a success, aud il
will be the largest and most representative
excursion of teschers which will leave here
When it is understood taat Major Hanson,
who is now writing letters from New Orleans
booming Mr. Roselle's scheme, has direct
interest in the same, and is using his privil-
eyes as a correspondent for that purpose. Il
will account for the "milk in his cocoanut. II
not for the hair thereon" and the teachers
Of the state viii probably consider Prof.

cular, as worthy OF more credence than those
