The ice in the lake and river is breaking
upirapidly. 1t is to be fondly hoped that the
vast heaps of garbage and offal that have
been dumped near the bridge during the

TWAS rumored yesterday that Timothy
Kitty, candidate on the peoples ticket for
alderman in the First ward, had declined
the nomination, or would dc so in case Mr.

for the position.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Karst returned from

Ten of the boys, who had just come down
from the woods after hard winters work
were enjoying themselves to their hearts
content on Wednesday, but drop too much
caused them to fall into the hands of the

Two prisoners from Mobiles county were
placed in custody of Warden Reed yesterday
afternoon. One of the two, William Riley,
known as the boy murderer, calls for more
than passing notice. The prisoner placed
his age at sixteen years, but from his size he
would not be supposed to be over fourteen
Judging from his manner Yesterday he does
not in the least regret committing the terri
bic crime of which he has been con
victed When passing into the
interior of the prison he did not seem to care
or realize that the gate had closed behind him
for the term of his natural life. Warden
Reed, who held some conversation with the
boy, made the remark that of all the prisoners
who had ever come under his notice, he never
found one so utterly hardened, or one who
seemingly realized in a less degree his i'm
pending fate. Not one word of regret or the
least sign of compunction could be drawn
from the wretched youth Josiah Lyons,
next on the list is down for one year for as
sault intending to do great bodily harm.

BISMARCK, March 27.-The gorge on the
Yellowstone, above Glendive, let go yester-
day. The ice at Buford, above the mouth of
the Yellowstone, and the gorge, five miles
below, broke, and is running out. The river
at Washburn rose only two inshes yesterday
afternoon, and here is practically at stand
STILL 1t is said ice is gorging in its passage
down. The ice at Sibley Island is gorged

stead of Chippewa Indians.
A Contradictory Report that His Grub Pile
and not Himself was
Captured.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


GRAND FORKS, OAK, March 27.-The
Daily Herald received the following special
from DEVILS Lake to-day: ''There is no
truth whatever in the report that NJ. Dinner,
of Dayton, O., or any one else, has been
captured by the Indians in the Turtle noun
tain country. There are only a dozen In
dian families on the Turtle mountains. A
few of them mode begging raid upon
Dinners grub, which grub they captured and
massacred in the most savage manner. No
further information has been received here
concerning the reported discovery of gold in
the Turtle mountains.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
FARGO, March 27.-It turns out that Mr.
Dinner is not in the hands of the Indians
and that no ransom is demanded for his safe
return, but he is in charge of the Turtle
mountain half-breeds, who believe he is in
terfereing with their landed rights and are
therefore endeavoring to brighten him
into leaving the country. Last Novem-
Der he went IT'S miles northwest of DEVILS
Lake and there is said to have discovered
very valuable mineral lands.
He went east, secured scrip and covered the
same and soon after January LIST
he sent mining machinery into the country
and followed in company with Messrs. Eaton
and Clements, of Washington, and govern
ment surveyor. For four weeks nothing
has been heard from them, but last week
one of their teamsters sent Mrs. Dinner a
letter stating that the half breeds of the Tur-
tie mountain region had taken umbrage at
his intrusion into what they considered their
domain and had him guarded and refused to
allow him to communicate vito his friends
until he had agreed to forever leave the
country. A son of Mrs. Dinner and six
frieuds have gone to the northern border to
see what can be done to overcome the pres
ent difficulties.

THE WHISKY Bill KILLED.

The bill to extend the bonded period for
whisky in government stores, which would
have postponed the collection of taxes COM
ing due this spring on about so, 900, 900 gal
Ions Of whisky, was defeated in the house of
congress yesterday by striking out its enact
ing clause. The vote for striking out was,
yeas 1S5, nays SO. The failure of the bill by
30 large majority was not expected, and it
would appear that the measure has lost
friends during the discussion of Wednesday
and yesterday. Probably the fear that the
next move would be to repeal the tax alto
gether, and with it repeal all internal reye-
nue. taxes, lost the bill many votes.
1t is questionable whether the failure of
the bill will not cause a serious financial
disturbance. On the other hand, it was
contended in strong arguments that it would
be impolitic for the government to set an ex-
ample of postponing or RENTING taxes
only for the relief of spectators. The
defeat of the bill, whatever may have
been its particular merits, will relieve con-
gress from having to deal with similar appli-
cations which might have no merit in them.

vidual action or private combinations and
more familiar with the attainment of them by
governmental agencies, until eventually
governmental agencies come to be thought OF
as the only available agencies.
This country needs to take warning from
the teachings Of the examples of the old
world. The state already has passed far be-
yond its proper limits. There is everywhere
met disposition to call on the state in every
difficulty.
When levee breaks, congress is called on
for relief, when there is an outbreak of yell
low fever the assistance of the state is in
voked. The land is full of officials. The
federal government ha S inspectors, gaugers,
tax gatherers and collecting agencies in
every corner. The land fairly swarms with
officialism. All this indicates that private
self reliance is on the decrease and the agen-
cy of the state is extending its unwelcome
and threatening presence.

SiOur City Notes.
GSioux City journal, March 90. I


The most conflicting reports continue to
come about the damage to the approach to
the Blair bridge. The most direct news the
reporter was able to get came from Sioux
City man who returned from Missouri Valley
yesterday. He had it from a railroad man
who had visited the bridge, that l, 700 feet of
the trestle work had been carried out by the
ice, and that months would be required to
repair the damage. The transfer boats at
Blair will be transferring cars by tomorrow,
possibly to-day.
NORTHWESTERN PLANS.
The Northwestern line between Belle
PLANE and the coal mines, Oskaloosa, dis
lance of sixty-six miles, is nearly all sublet,
and on many of the jobs the graders are
waiting to begin when the weather will allow
This work is heavy, averaging about $50, 900
to the mile. This, and the unfinished job
at Princeton, Wis, is all the work likely to
be commenced early in the season. Later
on the company proposes to build the pro-
jected line between Freeport and Galena,
and the line from Redfeld, D. T., west to the
Missouri river. Reliable intelligence has
been received by the Journal, that the North
western contemplates double-tracking its
line between Chicago and Clinton this sea-
son.
TAE MILWAUKEE CROSSING MATTER.
The crossing of the tracks of the other
companies in this city by the Milwaukee's
extension east is understood to have been
adjusted, but on what basis is not known.
The Milwaukee company claimed that as the
crossings proposed were on a street, Second
street, the companies having tracks already
across that street had acquired 70 priority of
right. There was no question about the legal
right of the Milwaukee to make the cross
ings, but the other companies thought that
before the crossings were put in it would be
good time to arrange for having the cross
ings maintained, paying for flagmen, etc.
''There will be no further trouble about the
MISUNDERSTANDING the Second street cross
ings," said one high in the confidence of the
company to the reporter yesterday, bnt he
could not tell when it would be done.

The Hinckley Shooting Affair.


RUSH CITY, Mimi, March 27.-The special
sent you last evening being an erroneous
one, will give another report as gotten in
Hinckley to-day. Last Wednesday James
Flynn shot Timothy Foley, in dispute over
game of cards. The shooting occurred on
the steps of the Morrison house. The night
before the shooting Flynn and the other par
ty had been playing cards, and Foley being
rather sharper than Flynn got the better in
the deal. Flynn met him afterward, the
same night, and attempted to hit him with .
coupling pin, but was prevented from SO do
ing by being covered by the strangers revolv-
er. This day noon Flynn met him again,
and questioned him as to whether he was az
good a man as he was the night before. Say
ing he was, Foley, attempted to pull his coat,
whereupon Flynn drew a revolver and shot
him in the breast near the heart, the ball
passing through his hand while he held ON
his coat in the act of pulling it off. The ball
struck rib over the heart and passed around
the body, which saved the life of the victim.
The ball of a 3S-calibre was extracted by DIR.
West by cutting a hole in his (Foley'y) back.
Up to the present time no arrests have been
made although the deputy sheriff stood close
by and saw the whole affair.

EMIGRATI0N FROM ITALY.

Italian emigration is at this time attracting
no little attention, for the great influx OF
emigrants from Italy is unusual and steadily
on the increase. These emigrants do most
" congregate in cities, instead OF going out
to settle on farms and become permanent
and industrious citizens.
They throng the cities of New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Boston, New Orleans, San
Francisco, Chicago and other places, where
some of them apply themselves to light
trades, and others, and no small number
either. betake themselves to idle mendicity.
In New York alone there are estimated to be
from 10000 to $4,000 Italians. A contem-
porary, remarking on this element OF emf
grafton, says.
In long files, like Indians on the march, they
are often seen plodding along, from one railroad
station to another, each with his kit upon his
back, containing clothes and cooking utensils,
forming in fact the whole personally OF the emil
grant. AS laborers, they are described as oDe-
dent, patient and faithful, but woe to any pay
master or contractor who finds his resources IN
adequate to meet his obligations. For, the mo-
ment promises take the place Of coin, trouble be-
gins The men are satisfactory enough with shovel
and pick, but they understand neither the
English tongue nor American customs, and
are very apt to resort to the argument OF the
knife to enforce their demands. Although many
Italians have settled down as merchants in vari-
Gus branches of trade, the majority come here
not for an opportunity of commercial success,
but for a chance to profit by the numberless en-
terprses that offer wages for labor, such as are
not dreamed of in the home country. Some come
with the intention of remaining, but others, like
the Chinese, come with the sole idea of return
ing as soon as they shall have earned sufficient
to give them handsome start in life at home"

THERE is a proposition under disc,

THERE is proposition under discussion to
build another bridge over the East River,
connecting Long Island with New York.
The proposal is to build a bridge from New
York to Ravenswood across Blackwell's ISL
and. 1t is to be built by private capital, if at
all, and eX Mayor Cooper is said to be ex-
erting his influence in Europe to secure for
eign capital to build this second bridge. The
erection of this bridge would largely increase
the value of property on Long Island, and
stimulate the value of business in every di-
rection. Is it to be supposed a second bridge
will be built over the East River before a
second bridgewill be built over the Mississip-
pi river at St. Paul? Certainly a second
bridge is needed here, and without delay,
and it is to be hoped that the proverbial dash
and enterprise of the great Northwest, NAV
not be entirely put in the shade, by eastern
enterprise. A second bridge, and street.
