HO! NEW ORLEANS.
Minnesota Teachers Excursion to the
Worlds Exposition.

From time to time within the past few
days certain advertisements have appeared
in the local papers of ST Paul and Miuueap-
oils, coupled with local mention, 10 the OBJECT
that the school teachers excursion to New
Orleans, announced to take place over the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, was
the only excursion TO the Crescent City hsv-
ing the approval Of Hon. d. L. Kiehle, state
superintendent of public instruction. The
same notices took especial care to state that
the latter had appointed Prof Wright, super
intcndent OF the public schools Of st. Paul, TO
arrange for the transportation and sccommo-
dation of the teachers.
The statements were taken in good faith
by the papers, and published for what they
were worth, but it has transpired recently
that either the points were greatly strained,
or else there is something rotten in Dem
mark, as will be seen by what follows.
Yesterday Col. I. W. Teasdaie, the eff
Gent general passenger agent Of the Royal
Route, or Omaha road, received a communal
cation from Mr.. j. II. Hanson, the well
known newspaper man of ST. Paul, and who
is noX in New Orleans, which throws a diff
fereuS light on the subject. The letter Is
dated December IA, and il distinctly shows
That the advertisements above alluded to
we're fabricated and published with the intent
of producing the teachers excursion gotten up
by Mr.. ROselle and which leaves for New
Orleans over the Royal route next Monday.
In his letter Mr.. Hanson refers TO an in
terview held the day preceding with Prof.
Kiehle, who is now in the southern capital
In his interview the latter said that he had
nothing to do with any excursion whatever
and that what Supt. Wright was doing was
all on his own account Prof. Kiehle in
formed Mr.. Hanson that personally be would
do all in his power to make it pleasant for
any and all teachers who might come, and
that he would not under any circumstances
extend special favors to anyone. He also
stated that he had made no arrangements
with Prof. Wright for side shows or other
attractions, and that all Minnesota
teachers would be treated alike.
This shows conclusively that the announce
ments made by Superintendent Wright con-
corning special arrangements with Prof.
Kiehe were unwarrantel and should not have
been made in the manner they were. On
the other hand Mr.. Roselle, manager OF the
Royal route excursion has made personal ar
engagements for the transportation and &C
commudation of the teachers who may &C.
company bis party, the fare and hotel rates
being particularly favorable to excursionists.
This explanation is made in order 10 cor
rect papable error and misrepresenta tion
of facts, and out of spirit of fair play 10 the
gentlemen who have worked so hard 10 make
the teachers excursion on the Royal route
an inexpensive and enjoyable success.

pected that they will be through with track
laying by the 24th inst, and will run into St
faui by the LIST OF January sure.
Thursday afternoon the general passenger
agrnis met in Chicago and considered var
ious matters regarding passenger business.
The Northern Pacific's demand TO have the
passenger rate from Kansas City and Mis-
sour river points 10 Portland via St Paul
made the same as by the direct route over
the Oregon Short Line formed the principal
topic OF discussion, aud the request was finally
agreed 10. Heretofore, while the Northern
Pacific made the same rates from Chicago
aud ST. Louis aud ali points east OF Portland
as made BY any route, the rates from points
west OF the Missouri river via ST. Paul ~
Portland have been higher than mace through
Missouri river points. These rates via 81.
Paul have nov been reduced, and Short Line
rates 10 the Pacific coast via S. Paul adopted.
For iustauee: Where the local rate between
Kansas Guy and 81. Paul has heretofore been
added 10 the Kansas City rate It is now wiped
out, and the Northern Pacific accepts bust
ness for Portland via all lines between ST
Paul and Missouri liver points at the Kansas
City r4te-namely: S45.

a Plan for the Settlement Of the Missouri
River Lumber Troubles An Id
raHes ga RATES.
The managers Of the roads interested In
the lumber business from Chicago, Wiscon-
sin and Mississippi river points to Missouri
river points met again Thursday and resumed
the consideration of the troubles regarding
lumber rates. General Manager Potter, Of the
Burlington, said that the interest of their
roads requires the settlement Of the exist
ing difficulties. and something should e
done to stop the disastrous war which has
been carried on so long and caused so much
loss 10 the roads. He introduced q resolu-
ton 10 the effect that Commissioner J. W
Midgley and j. II. Hiland and Arbitrator G.
NJ. Bogue be appointed a committee 10 devise
a plan by which the various lines interested
in this traffic would be enabled 10 carry their
fair proportion Of lumber at reasonable rates.
After short discussion the resolution was
unanimously adopted. IL was then resolved
that, commencing next Monday. a rate al
twelve cents per 100 pounds on lurn Der from
Chicago 10 Missouri river points should be
made by the various roads, aud that the diff
terential rates as fixed by Arbitrator Bogue a
few months ago be observed from other
points Until the committee Is ready 10 make
its report and action has teen taken thereon.
This is an advance Of two cents per 100
pounds, Chicago to the Missouri river, over
the rates now charged, but Is six cents less
than the regular rate charged before the war
broke out.

SHOCKING RAILROAD ACCIDEN t.
James Nash Run Down by the Cars
and Instantly Killed.

An exceedingly sad accident occurred on
the Omaha railroad tracks, just beyond the
Seventh street crossing, about $40 O'Clock,
yesterday morning, resulting in the instant
death Of Mr.. James Nash, an old and re-
spected citizen aud the brother OF Mr.. Pat
rick Nash, the well known contractor.
Mr.. Nash was employed at the round
house Of the ST. Paul & Manitoba Railroad
company, his principal duty being to keep
the lamps in order. About six O'Clock yes
terday morning he left his residence on
Conway street, aud on reaching tile Sevent b
street crossing he evidently waited a few
minutes for switch engine, it having been
his custom to board an engine at this
point and ride TO the round house.
After waiting short time he started 10 walk
down the track, and was so engaged when a
transfer engine and cars on the Omaha road
backed up and run him down. Death must
have been instantaneous, for he was run
over and terribly manged, the remains being
picked-up literally in sections.
Coroner Quinn was notified Of the fatality.
and an inquest will be held at O'Clock this
morning. The body was removed to O'Hal-
loran's undertaking rooms.
The deceased was sixty-seven wears of
age and widower, his wife having died
about month ago. He emigrated to the
United States from Ireland in IS4I, having
resided in ST. Paul since 1853. 1t is under
stood that he leaves no children.

important Decision.

Building Inspector Johnson yesterday no
tilted Shirk & Abbey, proprietors of the
Fourth street livery stable, which was par
tally burned on Wednesday night, that they
would not be given permission to repair the
structure. Mr.. johnson says his reason for
this step is that there is good deal of valu-
able property in this neighborhood that would
be put in jeopardy by the reconstruction of a
frame building in its midst. Mr.. johnson
says such structures are constant menace
TO all the buildings near them, and be pro-
poses to ask the council for the privilege of
condemning and ordering torn down any of
them that he considers dangerous to sur
rounding properly constructed buildings. He
has for long time expected trouble from
this particular livery stable, and only a week
or two ago be made visit TO Its proprietors
and expressed to them his fear that it would
some day be the seat of eonfagration which
would destroy millions of dollars worth of
property.

SUPREME COURT OPINIONS.
The Law of 1888 in Relation to In
corporation of Villages
Declared Unconstitutional By Judges of the
District Court.

By reference to the court proceedings pub
lished in another column in this mornings
GLOBE, it will be seen that the supreme court
made public quite list Of opinions yester-
day.
OF these is the affirming of the verdict OF
jury in the Ramsey county district court,
awarding ex-Gov. G. K. Davis $500 on
a claim of 50, 600 for legal services rendered
Charles P. Choutesu and Julia Motif in
Northwestern Fur company suit. The point
raised in the appeal was the same as that
brought up to gain non-suit in the lower
court hearing, and there denied, that these
dues, If any, were to Davis, O'Brien d
Wilson, and not to Davis personally. The
decision of the supreme court was that this
claim should have been embraced in the an
swer to the omplant and could not be
entertained as a ttion for a non-suit after
the case came to trial.
The second opinion of importance, and
given by Justice Mitchell, is that granting a
writ of prohibition in the case of State OF
Minnesota ex rel F. w. Luly, relator vs.
Orlando Simons, respondent Judge Simons
issued an order to incorporate the village OF
Hamline In accordance with the provisions
of chapter 70, General Laws of 1888, en-
towering judges of the district court to thus
Incorporate village under certain pro-
visions. Judge Mitchell rules that this
general law is unconstitutional, as delegating
legislative powers to the district court not
authorized under the constitution Of the state
to exercise such powers.
An opinion was also given by Justice
Mitchell in the case of State of Minnesota,
plaintiff, VS.. Patrick Williams, defendant.
The defendant was indicted in the lower
court for selling 400 bushels of No. 2 wheat,
which was under mortgage, said mortgage
being annexed 10 the Indictment Defendants
demurrer TO this attachment Of the mortgage
to the indictment was ruled adversely upon
by the lower court, and on this Williams took
the case up on appeal. Judge Mitchell,
though granting that this was a loose way OF
doing things, ruled that this mortgage as at
tached WAS a proper part and parcel OF the
indictment.
Tine verdict of damages as given by Sivert
Larson by jury IN the lower court against
the Northern Pacific Railroad company was
sustained by the higher court.
