Biz RaiI,ran Scheme.

BosToN, April "a Jno. W. Ayers, re-
presenting railway men interested in the pro-
ject, has petitioned the late senate to author

south Boston flats for the sum of 81 ZOO, 600,
This petition says "The acceptance of the
tender made at this time will result in the
building up of a strong and effective railway
system under one and the same management,
and a Boston system extending from Boston
to Buffalo, and very probably
to Chicago, there to meet the
railways controlled by Boston capitalists
which by two separate lines is to reach the

A Night Ride TO Happiness.

This incident related by the Fairbank
Ne~s, shows the difficulty often found in the
new sections in reaching any one authorized
to administer matrimony, as well as the re-
ward of perseverance. The editor modestly
omits mention of his share of the osculatory
sweetness: ''Last Thursday Mr.. Nelson Su-
COW and Mrs. Lena Sucow were united in
marriage at the postoffice by Judge Nicol.
The attesting witness to the ceremony was
the editor of this paper. The couple had
driven nearly all night in search of proper
ly authorized officer, and not finding Probate
Judge Sweeny at Okoboji they came to Fair
bank in search of our justice of the peace.
Judge Nicol gracefully seated them by the
stove in his cosy office, and propounded to
each the following questions, viz How old
are you! Are you now married! VIII you
take this man for a husband! VIII you take
this woman for wife! Then by the author
ity vested in me as justice of the peace
pronounce you man and wife, and whom
God hath joined together let no man put
asunder.' After signing their names to the
docket the judge kissed the bride, who was
very pretty and looked sweet. Thereupon
the groom presented the Judge with hand
some fee and they took their departure, look
ing cheerful and happy"

Montana's Wealth.

The annual reports of DR.. II. Weston,
treasurer, and the auditor of Montana, fur
nish statistics of interest of the development
and wealth of the territory. 1t lis learned
that the total number of acres of land
assessed, having Improvements is consider
ably over one million. Horses assessed in
the territory about 10000, total number of
mules and asses IN the territory 8, 1875. Total
sheep in the territory 465, 697, valued at 81,
325, SG2. Cattle in territory 376, 81, valued
1922, 1874. Yellow Stone county ranks fifth
in ownership of cattle, the number being re-
turned as %, 591 valued at 1859, FAC. Even
with these large numbers it is not unlikely
a good many cattle were out on the range
when the assessment was made. The total
assessment of the territory for 1868 amour is
to $44 698, 461 an increase of 81 ,4S7, 142

Two Fire Alarms.

At 1927 O'Clock yesterday afternoon an
alarm was sent in from box 60, caused by
some one carelessly igniting leaves and rub
bish in the rear of the small barn of James
Yandes, on Mound, near Douglas street,
which firing fence communicated to the
building. The chemical arrived on the spot
just as the flames had eat through the barn
siding, and were about to communicate with
the hay, when the boys promptly chopped out
the burning surface from the building and
kicked out the flames with their feet. Yandes'
loss was trifing, and as he is non believer
in insurance of course he had none on his
property.
A still alarm came into central fire house
at 4:35 p. m, caused by chimney burn out
at No. 101 West Third street, brick and
stone three story structure occupied by Theo.
Artz, as drug store and for tenements, and
owned by G. w. Armstrong. AS more smoke
and sparks went into the cellar than into the
upper air the occupants of the building sup
posed they were especially in for it.

Arguments for Better Sidewalks

Charlotte A. Bailey yesterday filed an ac-
ton in the district court against the city OF
St.. Paul in the sum of $25,5O0 damages.
The complaint alleges that in passing along
the north side of Seventh street, between
Wacouta and Rosabel, between the hours OF
10 and II o'clock p. m. on the night of Nav
IL, 1882, the plaintiff stumbled upon a three
inch plank nailed over and projecting above
the sidewalk, and fell into an excavation
half-flled with water; that the city had
caused the plank to be thus nailed and had
also caused the excavation. 1t is further al
legged that the fall brought on miscarriage,
that the plaintiff was confined to her bed
for eight weeks; that her nervous system re-
ceived permanent shock; that her left side
has ever since been partially paralyzed, and
that she has incurred an expense of fully
$500 for medical attendance. Hence she
asks for damages as above.
Another suit of the same character was
brought by Laura E. Thompson, of Henne-
pin county. She alleges that she was passing
along Sixth street between Jackson and Sib-
ley streets, on the 18th of November, 1882
and that the sidewalk, by means of its rot
tenness, broke beneath her feet, causing her
to fall, knocking the skin from her knee and
bruising herneck, shoulder and left side SO
that she has ever since been suffering from
partial paralysis. Since the city is response
BILE for the state of its sidewalks, she de-
mands damages in the sum of SIS, 900.

The Union Pacific and its Earnings.

New YORK, April 24.-Sidney Dillon,
president of the Union Pacific railway, said
yesterday, in explanation of the decreased
earnings of the road. A year ago the St.
Joseph & Western were included in our re-
ports, but now the is operated independently.
The earnings were over $1,000 month,
but the sum had to be returned to the com
pany in the end Our present earnings are
reported in comparison with these large earn
ings, but the comparison is not so unfavor-
able as it appears to be, because it is largely
matter of bookkeeping. The result at the
end of the year will show the real business of
the company has not suffered severely.

as unwayeringly as is anticipated, it should
be ready for travel within sixty days. Mea-
cham is the present terminus of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation company's branch,
which affords connection with the Oregon
Short line
This gentleman says further there are
pretty satisfactory indications that the North
ern Pacific will in few
weeks resume work on the Cas-
cade branch line between Ainsworth and
Takenia City, in Washington territory. Sup
plies are being collected together in large
quantities, which indicates a determination
to employ considerably larger force than
has been engaged heretofore.

Chicago Conferences.

CHICAGO, April 24.-The representatives
of the Burlington and of the roads in the
Western Trunk line association held another
session to-day and adjourned until to-mor-
row, when another joint conference will take
place. This afternoon, the Western Trunk
line roads held secret session, presumably
to determine upon definite line of policy in
future negotiations. 1t is not now expected
that any definite action will be taken before
the meeting Saturday, as several of the gen
eral managers have left the city till then. 1t
is contended by those in the interest, that
there is now fair prospect of final adj
justment Of the differences.

Aa,atysis of North Dakota Soil.

The Sykeston Adoocate in Wells county has
just had an analysis made of some of the
wonderful soil from the great wheat belt of
north Dakota and found the soil to be practi-
cally inexhaustible. Lime and phosphoric
acid, two elements very essential to the growth
of wheat and other cereals, are exceedingly
abundant, and the investigation shows that
no richer soil for agricultural purposes can
be found in the world. The top soil, which
is black, rich sandy loan from eight inches
to three feet in depth, contains LOST per
cent. of calcium oxide Qime), and .112 per
cent. of phosphoric acid, while the sub-soil,
which is almost imitless, contains 10000
per cent. of lime, and 1926 per cent. of
phosphoric acid. 1t will be seen that while
the top soil contains in superintendent de-
gree the elements necessary for the success
full cultivation of wheat and other kinds Of
grains, vegetables, etc, the sub-soil is still
richer in these ingredients.

Grain Doors.

Mr. Marvel, the general manager of the
st. Paul & Manitoba road, has issued circu-
lar in which he says that for grain doors fur
nished by elevator companies the following
prices will be allowed: Irregular grain doors,
each, 80 cents; outside doors when necessary
to board them up, go cents. Agents will
supply doors as far as possible, and when
furnished to elevator companies must know
they are used for no other purpose, and must
examine cars set in to load, to ascertain if
cars are furnished with doors, in place, or
lying loose in the car. Agents must not GER
tify to bills except they know the doors were
furnished, and at no higher prices than those
named. 1t is understood that, with the ex-
ception of grain doors, cars will be furnished
in condition to load, and bills for small re-
pairs, such as driving few nails, furnishing
a few pieces Of lath, sweeping out, etc., will
not be allowed"

Good Adrice .Repented.

This suggestion is not novel but it has a
point worth considering in almost any part
of Dakota: ''The farmer who depends Who'll
ly on his wheat crop is uuwise, and the
sooner the business of diversified farming
begins the better it will be for. the interests
of producers. There appear to be no very
great prospect for even fair price for the
next wheat crop. The farmer this spring
who devotes good share of the ground pre-
viously prepared for wheat to the raising OF
corn, oats, barley, buckwheat, beans pota-
toes turnips, etc., will find that he has acted
wisely and placed himself in a position to
lock up his wheat in his granary and wait
for six months to a year if need be for a
reasonable price.

The James Rfrer Rnizrond.


In speaking of the resumption of work on
the James River Valley railroad the Grand
Rapids Journal says that the outfit of Shields,
Lambert & Co., the contractors, arrived at
spiritwood, the point on the Northern Pa
cific nearest their work, on Saturday. They
have gap of thirteen miles to complete
between Jamestown and Grand Rapids, on
last years contract, which they expect to
close up early in May. This will finish the
grade from jamestown 10 LaMoure, a dis
lance of fifty miles. After completing the
gap mentioned above, Shields, Lambert &
Co. viii work from LaMoure south. From
present indications the Valley line will be
completely equipped by Sept. LIST and,
under the management of the Rock Island
will afford central and north Dakota a relief
from the present monopolies in the carrying
traffic.

The burlington and Union Pacific Troubles.

The burlington and Union Pacific Troubles.
The conference that is being held at Chica-
go between the Burlington, the Union Pa
cific and various roads in the Western Trunk
Line association, have made but little pro-
gress toward settlement of their troubles.
Matters look rather blue, and the Indication
point more to disagreement than an agree
ment. There is no longer any misunder-
standing between the Union Pacific and the
Burlington as far as business west of the
Missouri river is concernad. The Burling-
ton has agreed to pool all competitive bust
ness with the Union Pacific regarding the
division of the division of the local business
from the Union Pacific at Council Bluffs.
The Burlington demands a portion of the
Union Pacific local business at Council
Bluffs in addition to all the. business from its
Nebraska line at Plattssmouth. This the
eastern allies of the Union Pacific will not
concede: and the Burlington stubbornly re-
fuses to recede from its position.

argument in Faror of Csaim-Jumpi,,g.


The Keystone Commercial, in Dickey coun-
ty, strongly supports claim-jumping, and
presents the matter in this plausible way:
''The modern claim jumper can be accorded
honesty of purpose at least, because it is the
only alternative. He must jump as it were
or 90 without. Claims are becoming exceed
ingly scarce in all parts of the territory
where there is settlement, Notwithstanding
there are thousands coming every day who
intend to stay and help build up the country.
They must be provided for, and to do this
every claim not held by bona-fide claimant
should be subject to contest. The more pop
ulous the territory becomes the more pros
porous we will be, and it is no longer expe-
dent to shield a horde of spectators whose
interests are all elsewhere. Actual settlers who
come to our county will find our citizens not
at all delicate about exposing these fraudu-
lent entries of foreigners, who expect US to
develop the country and allow them to reap
the reward. Our advice to such persons is,
to come here and live; to show by your
deeds you are not a perjurer, or else You
may expect to find your rights disputed by
some one who has come to stay with us. No
doubt Dickey county is having the same ex-
perience as other counties. Ali her lands
are covered by filings while not over one-half
of these claims are held by settlers. 1t is
now plainly our duty to root out these frauds
and give the lands to those who are deserv-
ing of them.' 3m

DECISION.


Charles A. Fraker. respondent, VS.. the St.
Paul, Minneapolis 81 Manitoba Railway
company, appellant.
Syllabus-The plaintiff, with other servants,
was employed to assist in handling and re-
moving cars in the yard of the defendant, in
Guiding also as part of his duty the removal
of damaged or broken cars to the proper
place for repairs, under the direction of a
foreman who was subject to the orders of a
yard master and division super
intendent; held that as respects
risks arising from the acts and
omissions of such foreman in the course of
such employment he was to be deemed the
fellow servant of plaintiff.
Where master has exercised due dill
gence in the selection of employees and in
providing safe machinery and establishing
suitable regulations for the safe and proper
conduct of his business, the risks incident
to the use and handling of such machinery
and the management of the details of the
business must be taken to be assumed by the
employees to whom such duties are com
mitted.
The removal of damaged cars to shop or
repair track is necessarily incident to the
business of railway company, and it is not
inconsistent with the proper discharge of its
duty as master in providing suitable regula-
tons and arrangements for the transfer of
such cars, that an employee assisting in such
service should through accident or the error
or omission of fellow servant be misled
so as to mistake a damaged for a sound car.
The burden rests upon the servant claim
ing to be injured in such case to show that
the injury is the result OK the masters de-
fault or negligence in respect to some duty
belonging to him as master.
