A.. To,rn Nam Fatar1y Injured.

Valley City Times A man named n. j.
Harvey, from Charles City, Ia, lies at the
Dakota house in this city in terribly injur-
ed and mangled condition, through wounds
received by being run over by a caboose on
the Northern Pacific railroad, at an early
hour this morning. The unfortunate man
is in the employ of a citizen of jamestown,
and was looking after consignment OF
mules and horses en- route to jamestown via
the Northern Pacific. When the train had
reached New Buffalo, Harvey left the caboose
to look after the stock, missed his footing
when crossing between the end cars, and fell
between them to the rails beneath. At least
two wheels of the caboose ran over him.
Both legs were broken and badly cut up, and
the bones and flesh of the left hand ground
together. The left leg was amputated below
the knee by Drs. DeVaux and Ferrin. The
right leg was set. In addition to these inju-
ries, the victim received very bad cut in the
back of tho head, which pene-
trates but does not fracture the
skull. 1t is not thought possible that the
patient can live. He is young man about
twenty-one years of age. 1t is not known
whether he has friends or money.

The c,.t or Eniarn,,t Rates.

New YORK, April 21.-The Trunk Line
executive committee of the passenger depart
ment, had long session to-day at the office
Of Assistant Commissioner Pierson, at which
the rumored cuts in emigrant rates in the
west by some of the roads was considered. at
the close of the meeting Pierson said there
was no show that any of the railroads had
made reductions in emigrant rates, or had
negotiated with steamship lines for share OF
their business. He said the reductions by
the steamship companies, formerly in the
North Atlantic conference in their Storage
passage rates had probably given rise to the
report that the railroad companies had been
assisting them No action whatever was
taken in the matter by the committee.
Among other routine business, was making
special excursion rates for various organiza-
tons holding conventions and campmeet-
ings, including the Greenback convention,
at Indianapolis.

RAILROAD NEWS.
The Wisconsin Central Buys De-
pot Grounds on Lower
Third Street.
The Ocean Emigrant Rate Cut Likely
to Extend to Trunk Lines.
Grading Work Begun Yesterday on the Chip
pewa Falls st. Paul Railway.
Notes from the General Offices in st. Paul
and Miscellaneous Railway Gossip.
Another Railroad Coming Ia.

Some weeks ago the GLOBE announced the
particulars of meeting of the officers of the
st. Paul and Duluth road including Presi-
dent Hill, of the ST. Paul 81 Manitoba, Mr..
Winter, Of the Chicago, ST. Paul d Omaha,
and that the matter Of letting the Wisconsin
Central into st. Paul over the st. Paul q
Duluth track was then considered and
settled favorably. It was further stated at
the same time that the Wisconsin Central
would be furnished with facilities for hand
ling freight by the St. Paul & Manitoba road,
at the freight warehouse of that road.
Since that announcement was made the
the Wisconsin Central, through its agents,
has been actively and secretly engaged in
securing land of its own in an eligible part
of st. Paul, upon which to erect its own
warehouses. In this it appears to have been
quite successful. It is well known that
there is strip of land one hundred feet wide
running along the north side OF Third
street from the railroad crossing at the foot
Of Third street nearly up to Pine, and direct
ly opposite the st. Paul & Manitoba road
freight warehouses on the south side OF Third
street This strip of ground is what the
Wisconsin Central has been figuring
for and it seems to have
obtained considerable portion of it. Last
Sunday the GLOBE announced the fact that
D. NJ. Robbins had purchased for eastern
parties four lots of fifty feet front each of
j. L. Forepaugh for 5000. 1t was known
at the time that the purchase was for the
Wisconsin Central but this announcement
was withheld for the time being on request
of parties interested for fear tn at it might
interfere with other proposed purchases.
Since then several other purchases have been
made. Two lots have been bought of E. F..
Drake for $4,000, and enough
from C. B. Thurston to
give the road a frontage of AIS feet on the
north side of Third street. The remainder
Of the strip belongs to A. H. Wilder, Robin
son 6 Cary, Judge Wilkin, and to the estate
of the late Dwight Woodbury., of Anoka.
The reason why the road has not bought
these lots is because the parties could not
agree upon the price, except with respect to
the Woodbury. interest, which has not been
settled in the probate court. 1t is expected
that the road will proceed Immediately
to condemn all this for railroad
purposes. When the Wisconsin Central gets
this it will have facilities for handling freight
similar to those possessed by the st. Paul d
Manitoba road.
When the Wisconsin Central completes its
purchases and condemnation proceedings
and lays its tracks along there, there will be
five immense railroad corporations running
parallel with each other between Fifth street
and the river.

The Huron Contention.
[Fargo Republican, aOth.l


From all that can be learned it is fair to
presume that there will be pretty full repre-
sentation from north Dakota to the Huron
convention. Every organized county thus
far heard from has chosen delegates. Con-
siderable interest in the convention is mani
tested all over the territory. The delegates
from a number Of the counties have been in
structed to vote for Blaine delegates. While
the Republican is in favor Of Blaine it does
not think it would be wise thing for the ter
ritorial convention to do to instruct the dele
gates it selects for any particular candidate.
1t will be better to send delegates unham-
pered by instructions.
The convention ought to take cognizance
of the fact that there will be present
at Huron a number of politicians who
have been repudiated by their own coun-
ties claiming to represent other counties
as proxies. Such ambitious gentlemen
should not be allowed seats in the convcn-
ton or voice in the proceedings The plan
of substitution is all well cnoughif the sub
stitute is taken from the county where there
is vacancy in the delegation. But to allow
a man who has been repudiated in his own
county to sneak into the convention as a
proxy for delegate from another county is
not the proper thing, and the Huron conven-
ton will do well to establish precedent in
this matter. If convention of the party in
one county should choose gentleman from
another county to represent them instead of
citizen of their own county, there would be
no reason to question such delegates right
to seat, but where a convention of the
county has met and selected a set of
delegates from the citizens of that county,
and one of these absents himself and trans
fers his credentials to a citizen of another
county, the latter should be promptly re-
fused seat, voice or vote in the convention.
The rights and wishes of the party in that
county should not be betrayed or trifed
with. The Huron convention will have an
opportunity to deal with one or two such
cases and it ought, by its action, to do what
it can to stop such practices and to establish
precedent that viii be respected in the
future. Let the politicians who go to Huron
without constituencies, take back seat and
not undertake to control the policy of the
party in the territory where they haye been
repudiated. They have no more right in
that convention than any other unauthorized
and unaccredited set of men, and they
should be treated accordingly.

the r,aict,nent of Cor. Ord,cnv.

There is a good deal of interest felt in Da-
kota over the action of the grand jury at
Yankton in indicting Gov. Ordway in county
seat matters. There would be more conf
dence felt that he had used his position cor
ruptly if the impeachment came from a more
impartial community. Few doubt that the gov
ernor has caught good many shining fish
in the territory the past two or three years.
They believe that his salary is but drop in
the bucket. Still the impression is quite
general that he is not within the purview of
any criminal code. The fact that intimate
friends had interests in townsites could east
ly bias mind that is devoted to its friends.
He may think with the scriptural writer that
the man who does not look out for family
and friends is worse than an infdel. Very
few suppose that any substantial charges will
be sustained by a jury. There is so much
partisan feeling in the matter that the i'm
partial do not care to take very decided
ground.

made party and to be joined as defendants

James Barden, of Superior, Wis, brings
suit against the city of Duluth, the village of
Duluth, j. L. Edmunds, of Council Bluff, P.
B. Lyon, (residence unknown), j. Mary
Quirk, st. Paul, and Robert Ray, Duluth.
The case hinges on street commissioners GER
tiicates issued when Duluth held city char
ter to John Scanlon 81 Bros, contractors, for
grading and improving Superior street from
Piedmont avenue to Thirteenth street. The
work done greatly improved the property
abutting, which was owned by the defendants.
The plaintiff claims that the commissioners
certificates still apply as that the lien still re-
mains upon the property. He asks that the
liens be foreclosed and that defendants be
summoned to appear and answer. The
amonnt involved is $3S, 545. 46.

DoubIe-HeGded Caucus.
TLarimore Pioneer.1

The Grand Forks caucus was a bedlam Of
the most pronounced type A mob of about
five hundred or more swarmed into the court
house, many of whom were from Minnesota
and elsewhere, and the meeting presented
the interesting spectacle of two parties call
ing the house to order at the same time,
two different chairman elected and officiating
at the same time, one Of whom crowded his
opponent-a one-legged man-of the plat
form. two sets of COMMITTEES and two sets of
delegates appointed at the same time and for
the same purpose, and enough yelling to
scare all the fallen spirits ont of pande-
>monium. Such proceedings are extremely
disgraceful and ought to be the political
death knell of any man or set of men that
resorts to such hoodlum mobs to carry out
their purposes. Decent people believe in
doing things in a decent manner. Such
disgraces are too common in Grand Forks.

DiduY Recoonise the old savi,,,,.

Blunt Times: In the quarterly conference
of the Methodist church Thursday night, of
last week, it appeared the church was in
debted to Prof Blakemore on salary account
for about $50. Some of the members OBJ
jected to contributing to iquidate this be-
cause they did not think his pulpit utterances
evangelical. His ''creed ~ as developed
over old Henry Riggle, ''He who serves human
ity best, serves God best,'' was the objection
able phrase. This was objected to as Bob
Ingersoll doctrine, but when it was found to be
Wesleyan doctrine also, some were astonished.
It looks as though some evangelical Chris
tians would repudiate the pentateuch if Bob
Ingersoll were to embrace it, and that they
would not recognize its inspired character if
some unbeleYer were to express belief in it.

and additions made possible by the extension
of the stage, were on scale Of excellence
not possible except upon a stage Of that size.
The audience grew demonstratiye at times,
and seemed generally pleased.

Dirtdends VII BE Paid.

BosToN, April 21.-The officers of the
Union Pacific railroad deny the report from
Wall street that it is decided to pass the next
dividend. They say the question of the July
dividend has not been mentioned. They ex-
pect better earnings the second quarter, and
General Manager Clark says they will earn a
dividend in 1884. No proposal to reduce
salaries 20 per cent. has been made, but a
reduction in bus mess will enable the compa-
ny to reduce some expenses. The company
has earned surplus, applicable to stock
holders dividends, of s9.255, 121, since con-
solidation with the Kansas Pacific, and this
can be paid out in Ia per cent quarterly

Paw YOur Taxes.

County Treasurer Barton has collected
S57, 5fJ750 taxes since March 1. There re-
main S now only forty days more in which to
pay real estate taxes without the additional
10 per cent. penalty. The. many new ad-
ditions and subdivisions plated the past
year has so increased the volume of work in
the treasurer's office that if any considerable
number of the taxpayers wait until the last
days of May before paying some may in the
rush be unable to obtain receipts. To pay
as soon as possible and avoid the rush and
the danger OF forgetting to pay until after
the penalty is attached is the safest way.

Destructive Texas Flood.

LoNGyIEw, Texas, April 21.-The Sabine
again spread over the bottoms, and hoated OFF
probably 100000 feet of logs, which have
lodged against the bridge Of the Galveston
railway, causing force of men to be kept
there to break the jam. The river is rising
very fast. Heavy rains have deluged this
section at short intervals all spring, keeping
the farmers behind with their work. The
washing of cultivated lands is frequent,
and farmers and mill men are low in spirits
on account of the recent rains.
