There is no news today from the wreck as
bearing upon tho cause of the disaster, The
Herald says the following facts were related
to the writer by Capt. Wright on the Satur
day following the wreck, which will be found
interesting. He said he twice reprinanded
Mr. Harding. the officer in charge at the time
she struck, for altering the course of the ves-
sci without calling his attention, and had told
Mr.. Harding that he should never under any
circumstances change the coarse unless to
clear a vessel, without consulting him. Capt.
Wright said further that he never went to
bed when the steamer was under way. He
either lay down on the floor with his clothes
on or took a nap in a chair with blanket
over him.

A special to the Herald from Chicago says
A small man, with an iron-gray mus'ache,
hgrried up the steps leading to the rooms

at about A. II. today, and, taking key
on, Of his pocket, entered room is on the

took her into the room. There, on the bed,
in a sitting posture, With . black silk scarf
fastened aro1nd her neck, was young and
pretly woman, dead. The man took knife
honi his pocket and cut the scarf. On the
dressing case be found q note, which he
crumbled in hi. hand without reading, after
which he reached in one Of the drawers and
extracted a package Of letters, which be
thrust hastily in his pocket. Don't say

the lady, and disappeared The woman
found dead was Henrietta T. Chadwick, wife
Of Frank Chadwick, 3 travelling man for r.
o. Marsh, dealer in pig iron and coke. north
west corner Of Dearborn and Monroe streets.
The husband and wife formerly lived on the
West side, but parted last May on account Of
the strange man who appeared on the scene
today.
Six weeks ago Mrs. Chadwick secured
lodging in the room where she died, giving
the name Of Mrs. Tobey, and said her hus-
band was travelling man. 'Tobey" was very
jealous of her, and frequent quarrels were
the result. She had been respondent for
some time. A card was at last discovered
with the mans name, and as pen was found
on the bed, search ives made for the book
she must have written on, At last, pushed
far under the bed, it was discovered, and part
of a letter written 10 nervous hand was also
found. This did not satisfy her. She started
several, but at last finished the one that he
carried away. She was about 30 years of
age and her parents live in Augusta, Maine.
The dead woman was well educated and evi
dently reared in refinement. The little old
man is Eyre Randall. and he is employed as
a salesman by Brachvogel, Press Co. at
26l Wabash avenue. He has family living
at POI West Madison street. When visited
by reporter today, he seemed surprised that
his name had been unearthed. He was very
nervous about the matter. The detectives at
the central station are investigating the mat
ter.

Especial Correspondence of the Globe

Especial Correspondence Of the Globe. 81
CHATFIELD, Mimi, Aug. 1.-THE readers
of the GLOBE here are glad to see that there
is a Southern Minnesota column in the daily
issue. We feel that there ought to be an oc-
casonal fact or item of interest for it from
this point. This is one of the Oldest settled
towns in this part of the state, as we'll as
among the quietest and wealthiest according
to its population. We are not making any
rush, but steadily improving our advantages
which we believe as good as any other sec
ton presents. Our froundry was burned
down a week ago; but we have three flour
mills, wooden factory, and creamery
which uses the cream from 5000 cows,
makes ton of butter day for an average
and sells, besides, from $1,000 to $4,000
worth of hogs year; and it has never sus-
pended business during the three yGars
since its establishment, on account of the
season or any other cause. -
The years shipments of cattle and hogs
reaches 100000, besides the cured meats,
grain, etc. These figures are not startling
from their magnitude, but this is only a
small town on branch of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad, but it may furnish a
unit by which to measure the aggregate
business, and relative importance of this
portion of Minnesota.
Other towns about ue are doing the same
thing. ati
The counties of Fillmore Olmstead and
Goodhue represent as much substantial
prosperity, have as many natural advantages
and as gsod prospect for healthy future de-
velopment in the leading features of material
wealth as any equal portion Of the state.
We are not dependent upon the wheat
crop, and destined to go to ruin when it
fails. We have gone through the experience
of an exclusive wheat farming and are safely
on the other side; are doing mixed farm
ing, and under its advantages paying off
mortgages and putting up better buildings
and making general Improvements.
We have sent from our town 1900 fat
sheep and lambs this spring to st. Paul, and
there are still $500 left of the flock from
which they were selected.
In general, every brauch Of industry that
can be successfully prosecuted anywhere in
the northwest must be successful here, if in
telligently and faithfully conducted.
