Fargo takes pride in furnishing one OF the
most popular play-writers OF the day. The
commercial travellers who nave been so nu-
merously stopping at the Grand Pacific, on
the east side of the river, now very generally
come to Fargo, one reason alleged being that
at the late grand ball $50 invitations were
sent out and no travelling man got one. The
opening of the new Sherman is another at
traction. Col W. T. Steele spent day in

It is becoming quite generally believed by
the supporters of the state machine that the
Republican senate will really make so much
of an issue in their favor as to reject all ap-
pointments, unless the Democrats consent to
the admission of the new state. There is a
SAVIOR of bulldozing about the project that is
not likely to be beneficial. The admission of
no ground for delay, when the North soon
follows with another state and two more Re
publican senators. The Democrats in con-
gress will have solid ground to stand upon in
first insisting that the people of the territory
shall have chance to decide between one
state and division, and in case Of the latter,

FIGURING Mill Destroyed.
Special TO the Globe.


PARK RAPIDS, Mimi, Dec. AT
about o'clock Monday evening the peo-
pie of Hubbard were startled by the rush
ing of waters, and fastening to the mill
dam, few rods below, found that it had
given way. The waters of the lake, find
ing free vent, poured through by the east
bank on which the mill is situated. So rap
idly did the waters wear away the bank
and undermine the mill that in fifteen min
uteS after the leak was discovered the en-
tire mill. with its contents was being
hurled down stream Those who wit
messed the scene of disaster next morning
agree that they never saw so complete a
wreck of mill property. Only portion of
the roof is in sight. The rest of the build
ing and machinery sank indifferent points
along the stream. The dam was at the
outlet of Long lake. at Hubbard, eight
miles south of this place. The mill, which
has been in progress of erection for some
time. was fine three-story structure, with
latest improved machinery, capable of turn
ing out 100 barrels of flour day. 1t was
the finest piece of mill property on the
Shell prairies. The machinery had just
been set up and on Monday feed was ground
for the first time in the new mill. The loss
is estimated at not less than $4,000. 1t is a
severe loss to the farmers of the Shell prair-
les, as the mill at this place is rebuilding
and will not be in operation for some
months. Their only recourse this season
will be to carry wheat to BIRTHS mill at
Verndale, fifty miles distant. The citizens
of Hubbard have aided the mill enterprise
from its beginning and its destruction will
be a serious blow to the business interests
of the place. The company give no aSsur-
ance that they will rebuild, the present
owners being badly crippled by this most
unfortunate turn of affairs.

Neville sentenced.

Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, Mimi, Dec 4.-The defense in
The Neville murder trial rested their case at
o'clock yesterday afternoon and the sum-
ming up of the evidence occupied the next
three hours. Hon. A. IL. Snow addressed
the Jury for the state and Hon. Thomas
Simpson for the prisoner. AT about 3
o'clock Judge Start commenced his charge
to the Jury. After reviewing the case at
some length, the court dwelt particularly
upon the question of insanity, the prisoner
basing his defense on that plea. Judge
Start remarked that while there had been
many pecuIiarities exhibited by the prisoner
during his life, and while he had, no doubt,
been at times partially insane, he charged
the jury to consider only whether the prls-
oner was insane at the time of the murder.
They could judge by the testimony before
them regarding the prisoners action OF the
night of the 22d of Al ril. both previous to
and after the deed, whether he was insane
at that time, The court recited passages
from the celebrated Guiteau trial and read
the law as regarded the case. The jury re-
tired at 6 o'clock and at 1890 last evening
announced that they had agreed upon
verdict. The prisoner was thereupon
brought into the court room. Judge start
called the court TO order ana the jury lieu
in. In response to the inquiry as to
whether they had agreed upon verdict the
fareman replied that they had and declared
the defendant guilty, as charged in the IN
dictment A communication, signed by
every member of the jury, accompanied the
verdict, stating that in view of the mitiga-
qing circumstances in the case, a recon-
mendation to the court to waive the death
penalty was earnestly given. The
court then adjourned until O'Clock
this morning, when the prisoner was called
in for sentence. Before pronouncing SEN
tence. Judge Start. in commenting upon the
recommendation of the jury, reviewed the
prisoners life. The idle habits, the disso-
lutte life, the wilfulness and passionate
temper of his youth. had all tended to con-
sign him at the early age of % years to
felon's cell 1t was sad ending Of life
that the court was satisfied might. under
proper Discipline, have been useful to the
world. and was solemn warning to all
young men. The prisoner was then ordered
to stand up and asked if he had anything
to say why sentence should not be passed
upon him. Having nothing to say Judge
Start then sentenced him to be confined in
the state prison at Saltwater at hard work
for the term of his natural life. The pris-
oner exhibited no emotion at the sentence
and after a short consultation with his
counsel, was taken back to the county jail.
