WASHINGTON, May 2l.--The cere-
monies incident to the dedlcation
of the Luther statue, which stands in
front of the memorial Lutheran
church, we've concluded this after
noon when the statue was formally
unveiled. The exercises took place
on the platform built about the ped
estal which covered the entire PARK
in front of the church, and when the
exercises began the twelve hundred
sea,s provided were we'll filled and
many spectators standing on the
walks and in the streets. Justice

Robert W. Douneli's tsuln.
Omaha Herald, May Is.

"If regrets were not vain we might
fill q column with what we feel over
the financial ruin of Robert w. Don
nell and Mr.. Lawson, of New York
No more honorable, or, as We have
supposed tor twenty years, no more
careful or conservative man has ever
reached a high place in this western
world of business than st. JOseph's
old "Bob' Donnell. The earnings of
a long and active and busy life have
been swept away from him ia day,
his property, and also his heme, and
what is almost as bad, the high place
he held in the confidence Of the peO-
pie Of the West who have known,
trusted and loved him for thirty
years. Mr.. DOnnell is 62 years
old. His life In New York was what
it had been in Missouri and Mon
tana, simple aud modest, like his
manners, and he was regarded by us
as the very embodiment of prudence
and caution in business. When the
Metropolitan bank resumed business
after the suspension we had hoped
that Mr.. Donnell could see his way
to relief, but the assignment which
the firm and its members have since
made shows that their money s., Co.,.
600 all told, had gone into invest.
ments upon which it was impossible
to realize. This meant ruin, and
ruin came to one of the best men this
part of the west ever raised up.
Mr.. Donneli was offered help from
many quarters. Ex.Congressman
Elkins offered him plenty OF sympa-
thy and $500, 600 in cash. He grace.
fully accepted the sympathy but de-
clined the money. Similar offers
came from London, where Mr.. Law
son Is, but all assistance was steadily
declined by Mr.. Donnell. It Is thought
that ths decision to close and assign
was premature by some too confident
friends, but the clear head of the
house manifestly saw the rock upon
upon which his ship was stranded and
he resolved to act for the best good of
his creditors who are distributed in
vast numbers from Montana to Flor
ida. Bonds of the Cleveland,
Youngstown l. Pittsburg railway,
and other similar securities, are
what caused the disaster and made
resumption impossible. It is be-
lieved by those who ought to know
that the firm will lie able to pay
every dollar of their Indebtedness"
Since the above was written it
is learned that the assets Of
the firm will exceed its liza,
bilities by over $l,O0O,0o0 and that
the house will probably resume busi-
neess again in the near future. Mr..
DOnnell is we'll known in Montana
and the above kind words from the
Herald will be gratefully appreciated
by his army OF friends in this Terri
tory.

Of President Arthur's administration.

HlO Grande Western vs. the Denver
q Rio Grande Construction Co. II
assaiis the legality of the lease under
which the former company holds and
operates the Utah lines, claiming It
had no pOwer to make or the direct
ors to ratify the contract set up bv
plaintiffs as the ground of Colonel
Dooge's claim to be perpetually man
agerOf the leased road. defendants
allege the contract was drawn up
against their interest by Palmer,
Dodge, Bass and others, who were
acting at the same time AZ officers
and counsel of the Denver & Rio
Grande Western and the Denver &
Rl0 Grande Construction Co., and to
provide for their profit
in the second company.
The terms of the contract we're
known to only about one dozen
stockholders; that when the compa>
ny became fully informed of the
transaction President Palmer found
it best to resign. They allege the
terms of the base were violated bv
the Denver & Rio Grande Western.
that they did not turn over the road
in the condition agreed upon-in
good running order and fully
equipped for business; that the road
was completely in bad order and
possessed nothing beyond construc-
ton equipments; that to complete
and equip the road defendants
have been obliged to spend mp
wards of $4,000 of their own funds;
that Dodge has run the Utah lines
at loss of $500, 900 already; that to
further injure defendants ne in
creased expenses in April nearly
81, 600 in excess of any previous
month; that he is incompetent and
unsafe; that if his claim is sustained
he can aud is disposed to run the
leased lines at such expense and pre-.
scribe such tariff as will make the
Utah road y loss to the company;
that the loss was temporary, only to
be superseded by the consolidation
of the companies; that while the
necessary authority has been granted
by the legislatures OF Colorado, no
steps have beeen taken to complete
such consolidation.
