minneapolis rs. saltwater.

The Stillwater-M Minneapolis game at the
latter city yesterday was rafting good one,
requiring fourteen innings for decision
Fully thousand people were in attendance,
and many ladies graced the grand stand with
their inspiring presence. Nearly everybody
expected that Minneapolis would knock the
Prison City boys out handily in nine rounds,
but the game was bagged by the other side
after stubbornly fought battle, during the
latter part Of which the enthusiasm Of the
audience and players alike was at its greatest
tension. Play was called promptly on time,
with Minneapolis at the bat and William
Tunnison, Of Cleveland, in the umpire's po-
sition. Andrus was the first man 10 face the
music and McCue and Koran
formed the battery of the
opposition. Minneapolis was disposed
of without run, and the same dose was ap-
piled to the Saltwater team when they faced
Caruthers and Walker. Minneapolis went
out in order in the second inning, while
Saltwater, aided by Caruthers' error, single
by Pickett and doubles by Fowler and Koran,
strung up three. Minneapolis made two IN
the third ON a base hit from Isaacson and
Reid and an error by Roche, who played
miserable game during the entire afternoon
at short Saltwater was BANKED for three
successive innings, but Minneapolis made
two in the fourth and one in the fifth, these
being unearned, and were BANKED in the
sixth. With the score standing 5 to 3
against them the visitors went in for the
sixth inning Peters got in a safe bit to
long short, and vas forced out at second by
Visner's short nit to Parker. Stapleton and
Koran with singles andFowler with double,
assisted by some fine base running brought
in three runs. Isaacson for Minneapolis got
in a run in the seventh and Nichols one in
the eight for Minneapolis and for Saltwater
Roche earned run in the seventh.
The ninth inning was reached through
some exciting scenes, and Parker went to

There was no delay in the trains at st.

freight went through in the regular way. Sc
far as could be learned at the Manitoba head
quarters last night, the order Of the Canadian
Pacific road has not yet been enforced.

effect July 1st
Friday, July 4, Mr.. E. st. John, the well
known and popular general ticket and pas
sengeF agent Of the Chicago, Rock Island 81
Pacific, win celebrate the twenty first ami
yersary Of his connection with the Rock
Island. Mr.. st. John commenced service
with the Rock Island as a clerk in the ticket
department. November z, 1864, he was
appointed chief ticket clerk in charge of the
general ticket department. In 1868 his title
was changed to general ticket agent, and in
1879 he was also placed in charge Of the gen
eral passenger department and given the
title Of general ticket and passenger agent,
which position he still occupies TO the entire
satisfaction Of the company. When Mr.. st.
John entered the service of the Rock Island
Mr.. John f. Tracy was assistant superntend-
ent Of the company, and the system covered
less than $50 miles. There are ohiS about
half dozen men in the service at present
who came there before Mr.. st. John.

BARKER,S TRUST TO GILFILLAN.

We greatly fear that the well directed eff
forts Of the GLOBE to secure harmony in the
Republican ranks in the Fourth District will
prove unavailing. The advice of the GLOBE
to Mr.. Gilfllan that he should place Mr..
Barker's crown in Major Camps historic hat
was utterly disregarded. 1t would evidently
be very chilly day when any such advice
was accepted.
The defunct committee met and Mr.. Gill
fillan came and saw and conquered. The
gallant Gen. McLaren was present. The
suaye Petit, the urhane maineiac, Col. Ben
ton, the fiery McGil, the ardent Burden,
we're all there, and they seemed
to be asking each other Elan
nigan's famous qeestion in its most
literal sense, ''what are we here
forl' They not only asked themselves, but
they requested the frlgid zone to tell them
why they were there. The frigid zone didn't
know, and the object of the meeting Of the
defunct committee remains as much mys-
terry as the question Of an open sea at the
north pole.
1t must have been inspiriting and soul
stirring to Gen. McLaren and his associates
to hear Mr. Gillian state that he held trust
(from Barker) and could not abandon it
without orders from those (Barker) who gave
it to him. Then too, the report that all is
harmony (among Barker) is excellent. But
the upshot is that the Gllfllan flag is still
there

MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, July 2.-Last even
ing bold crook worked daring job on
Jas. Libby, who recently came to this city
from Fort Kent, Maine. He wanted to get
$500 bill changed, and while standing on
the corner of First avenue north and Fifth
street, near the West hotel man offered
to give him the change The latter handed
him $50 bill, $50 and three $40 bills, when
he grabbed the 5000 bill and made Off His
victim set up the cry stop thief, and started in
hot pursuit. The thief ran into Dickens 81
McGregor's livery stable OH north Fifth
street, dashed up stairs and hid in an oat
bin. Meanwhile large number of citizens
had Joined in the chase and rushed into the
stable and headed by McGregor, darted up
stairs after the fugitive. McGregor found
him and lively tussle ensued, in which the
crook was overpowered and turned over to
Detective Hankinson.
Last night burglar entered Reeses
clothing store, at the corner of Second street
and Hennepin avenue, gaining entrance
through rear window, and stole suit of
clothes. Mr. Reese had not yet left the
store and he caught the thief, nd calling for
help, Officer Malone appeared upon the scene
and took the chap into custody.

NEW YORK, July 2.-The stock market has
been less active to-day, but strong, although
there is not such feeling of confidence as
had been felt for few days previously. The
fact is the bulls are resorting to the rumor
committee, which sort of tactics usually pre-
cedes break. The trading is purely pro
fessional and the outside public has not yet
come in. Vanderbilt was out with another
OF his newspaper bull interviews and
devoted himself mainly to Lake
Then it was announced he has
taken up and paid for over $4,000 shares of
Lake Shore wishin a week. The stock went
up per cent, but dropped back 2 per cent.
when the Vanderbilt brokers and the weak
shorts stopped buying. Northwestern COM
mon sold up over per cent. and lost only
fractionally later in the day. The preferred
stock jumped up AZ per cent. and fell off
only q per cent. The bulge is attributed
to the buying for pool, which has been
formed, it is said, to take big block of the
stock, and bought over 25, 900 shares to-day.
The preferred was especially strong
because there is SO little float
ing stock in the market, it
being held so largely for investment. New
York Central is 4 better than Yesterday.
The Changers are all strong, Illinois Central
selling ~ better, and Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy ~. The Gould stocks have been
more quiet, with smaller changes. Union
Pacific was bulled up 2 points by the cover
ing OF shorts, and lost one-haf the gain in q
very brief time in the afternoon. 1t is said
the new pool in Lackawanna negotiated
large loans again to-day, which indicates a
further attack on that stock, but it has sold
up to 1 - per cent to-day
Body, Mcclellan & Co. say: 'sThe bears
found themselves in a very tight box this
morning. and their efforts to cover caused
a sharp upward turn in the market North
western preferred had the honor of scoring a
per cent. advance from Yesterdays figures.
Tie common sold about 80. st. Paul gained
points and Delaware & Lackawanna rose
to 115, while Pullman sold at 101. Rhode
Island touched 10S, and Chicago, Burlington
s. Quincy lowered around 112 nearly all
day. There was excellent buying of North
western common and there was good deal
of bull talk on it. Its friends predict par
for it later in the season. The market
became rather dull after mid
day, though prices yielded but
little The shorts reduced their lines materi-
ally, though they have not all covered by any
means. Stocks continued steady throughout
the afternoon hours. There was no attempt
at any time to indulge in raids in any prop
erty. The bears acted as if troubled by the
turn of affairs, while the leading houses were
purchasers of dividend payers right up to the
finish. The Changers have been rather the
fayorite and were quite buoyant at the last.
The feeling seems to be that, although we
may have reactions occasionally, the ten
dency is still toward higher figures in all the
leading stocks.

RAILWAY AFFAIRS.
Feeling at Winnipeg Over the Cana
dian Pacific Action.
The Wisconsin Centrals Arrangements for
Coming Into st. Paul.
TIE Wisconsin, Central.

This road is straining every nerve to get
into st. Paul as soon as possible. 1t is filing
up the lots purchased some time ago along
the north side of Third street, and is grading
across the northeast part of the state as fast
as possible. At last the managers and di-
rectors of that road have come to a definite
determination as to the arrangement to be
made with the st. Paul & Duluth road This
has been hanging fire for a long time and
now that it is settled all will rejoice. The
terms have been agreed upon, and the at
torney of the St. Paul & Duluth
road is now engaged drawing up
the contracts. The point where the
Wisconsin Central will strike the st. Paul 81
Duluth will be in the northwest i of the
northwest Il of section Is, which is a point
about two miles north of the lower end of
Lake Phalen, and little more than two
miles directly north of the Harvester works,
on land Of j. w. S Frost. This statement
is official and cun be relied upon as correct
From this point the Central will use the St.
Paul 81 Duluth road to point above Sixth
street, near Grove, when the Central will run
a track from the st. Paul d Duluth road
west across to the st. Paul IL Manitoba road,
over which it will run into the union depot.
The st. Paul d Duluth is doing all it can, in
conjunction with the St. Paul 81 Manitoba, TO
expedite the entrance of the new road into
the depot

HinHipeg.

The excitement in Winnipeg is consider
able among the residents, relative to the
action of the Canada Pacific in Withdrawing
its support of the custom house regulations
at the boundary line where its connection is
made with the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani
toba railway. 1t is reported that the cham
Der of commerce will take immediate action.
1t is great mystery TO the average residents
of Manitoba why the government has per-
sistently contri buted money to the Canada
Pacific to the extent of many millions, and
in return it now objects to the payment of
the paltry sum of $3.50 per month to facili-
tate free Transmission between the two
countries at st. Vincent and Neche The
matter will be taken up by the United States
government in an economical point ut other
stations aleng the Ontario line.
The Canada Pacific are directly responsible
for the obstacles being placed in the
way of passenger travel. 1t seems to be
their policy to prevent people moving into
their country and prohibit the residents from
moving out, custom which would be highly
endorsed in Russia but not properly a policy
for civilized government.

hit, but was caught mapping at first and came

took. Caruthers pitched a fine inning for

Pickett and Roche in one, two, three order.
Murray went in to win for Minneapolis, but
Peters threw him out at first. Reid struck

Nichols got his base on balls, and Walker

the fact that Fowler got in nice hit
in the thirteenth he didn't get in.
Minneapolis was easily BANKED in the four

took up the ash and sent the sphere between

get it and Reid tried to cover first. Isaacson
made damaging throw over Reid's head

came to the bat and made safe hit to short

General Manager Of the Union Pacific.


1t was rumored yesterday that Mr.. s. II.
H. Clark, general manager of the Union
Pacific railroad, insists upon the acceptance
of his resignation, because in his present
state OF health he is not able to devote such
attention to the duties of the position as is
necessary. 1t has all along been the impress
sion that in case of Mr.. Clarl1's retirement
Mr.. s. B. Galloway would be made general
manager of the Union Pacific. But from
what can be learned President Adams and
the directors think they have better
use for Mr., Galloway in Boston,
where he can assist them with his
advice and counsel. For this reason the
owners of the Union Pacific, it is claimed,
have lately made an offer to Mr.. T. j. Potter
at present vice-president and general mana
ger of the Burlington, to take charge of the
affairs Of the Union Pacific. Rumor has it
that he has been offered salary of $3.50, 900
for five years. Whether Mr.. Potter is con-
sidering this fattering offer cannot be learn
ed. The above sum is the largest salary
ever offered to railroad official excepting
President H. J. Jewett, Of the Erie, who re-
ceiyes $40. 900 a year. ExtraTagant as the
offer looks, it is not too high for man Of
the ability and reputation of Mr.. Potter.
Yet Mr. Potter has grown upon the BurIing-
ton. and is so attached to it that he may pre-
fer to continue to remain in its service and
decline the splendid offer said to have been
made BY the Union Pacific.

Judge Advocate General swain VIII De
kept on the ragged edge until September
10th, when the court martial which is to try
him viii convene. He, of all men, has an
opportunity to realize that all,
that in this world is g.eat or gay,
Doth, as a vapor, vanish and decay.
Four years ago scarcely any man in the
country occupied more interesting, if more
enviable position. He was the confidential
and most trusted companion Of the Republi
can candidate for President. He lived in
his house, was constantly consulted in re-
gard to all plans and movements regarding
the great canvass in progress. He had full
access to all sources of information. His
opinions were sought, and his counsel was
influential. Wherever Garfield went Swain
was sure to be there also. When the cares
OF day were somewhat over, and the sun
set shades began to tinge the natural beauties
surrounding the residence Of the distin-
guished head of a great party, arm in arm
they strolled over the grounds of the Mentor
farm, to which men from all sections Of the
land made daily pilgrimage
Together they discussed events, prospects,
and the schemes and modes of men. IL an
important and secret commi ssion was to be
executed Swain was the MN of all others to
whom the duty was confided. If Garfield
spoke in public it was Swain who weighed
his sentences and revised the stenographic
notes of the words of the orator. If man,
thus basking at the seat OF power, thus sought
and thus confided in, to whom was given all
the delights of COM partnership and the broad
est range of personal influence had not the
scope for happiness and the incentive for the
most honorable walk among his fellows, it
never comes to man. Clinging always to
the great chief who was more considerate,
more tender toward him than brother may
be, always within his sight, ministering to
him during the eighty days Of suffering and
mortal agony, receiving from his lips and
as he lay upon the couch Of dissolution by
the sea at Elberon the last articulated words
the dying martyr ever whispered, what food
has he now for reflection, as the memories
of those days Give like scorpions girt with
fre''
Only four years have passed, but what
change. Then all was joyous, light and free
from care. Now peace is supplanted and re-
morse, ''hell's eternal worm," fills all the
space with anguish and despair. For what
paltry bauble, the basely accepted bride of
avarice, has this man bartered honor and all
the majestic and historic associations that
were once panoply of pride and power.
What torture must these opening days of an
other great campaign, bring to him. How
low and mean must seem the wretched greed
which threw him from his high estate to the
level of the common criminal. Honesty once
pawned is meier redeemed.
