If reports are true, the Northwestern road
is interested in the Winona, Alma & North
ern road. as it appears to be paying farmers
for right of way, at Cassyille, Wis, for the
Alma Il Northern. This element will con
siderably change existing railway arrange
ments between st. Paul and Chicago. The
The Northwestern, as every one knows, has
been using the Omaha line from Elroy, Wis,
as through line to the Northwest, and the
Omaha has been likewise using the North
western TO get into Chicago. The question
now is, that II the Alma & Northern is a
part of the Chicago u Northwestern, will the
latter road continue to give its ST. Paul bus-
ness to the Omaha after the former line is
completedi 1t has generally been supposed
that the Alma " Northern would be con-
troled by the Chicago, Burlington q Quincy
as soon as completed, but the recent dis
covery has put new thinking cap on the
heads of number Of railroad men.

What Is Thought Of Dan Manning IN the
Money Center.
Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The stock market.
which has been undergoing a bulling move
ment, is a matter Of study among political
huanciers, owing to the coming change in
the administration of the treasury Il is
generally believed that Mr.. Manning will be
willing instrument of Wall street, but
on Wall street no such opinion prevails
A correspondent went on the street to-day to
chat With bankers and fnanciers, and was
surprised to find them widely divided in
opinions Of Mr.. Manning. Very few are his
warm advocates. Most Of them are doubling
Thomases. The consolation expressed is OF a
negative character, TO be found in the remarks
that John Sherman was also country banker.
II seems pretty certain that they are not ex-
pecting Mr. Manning to, be their creature.
but on the. contrary fear he may be as he
ought their master.
When an old Wall streeter was asked for
the secret Of the recent bull movement he
said the banks are overloaded with securi-
ties on which they have made loans at rates
which make it necessary for them
to keep up the market or 90 to the
wall themselves. There are millions OF
dollars loaned to-day on stocks and bonds
that would not bring single nickel in the
market, simply because there are 20 buyers.
Tie banks are forced % hold on 10 them for
long pull and they dare not let the public
price slump OF, so they yet up little sham
spurts in the hopes that gudgeons wiI. come
in and buy aud take of part Of their load.
II the banks can hold on til times improve
they know they are ali right.

preparation bill had contained an appropria-
ton of not less than $50, 900 to ferret out
frauds under the pre-emption laws as proof
that such frauds existed, and he Indignantly
denied that the proposed legislation was in
the interest of the cattle kings.
a motion to suspend the rules and refer the

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

st. Louis Excited Over a Terrible Tragedy.
ST. LOUIS, No, Feb. GA terrible trag-
edy in the form Of murder and suicide was
committed here about O'Clock this evening
at the assigDation house Of Madame North,
116 North Ninth street. The parties to the
act were Thomas Bostwick, pretty we'll
known saloon keeper and bartender, and
Mrs. J. 3. McGue, said TO be the wife Of a
bookkeeper of this city. The act itself was
the shooting Of Mrs. McGue three
times by Bostwick, killing her,
and then killing himself. by shoot
ing two bullets into his head and
stabbing himself five times in the breast
The circumstances leading to the crime are
not very easy to get at. bot the following
brief statement is believed 70 be fairly ac-
curate. 1t appears that Bostwlck met Mrs.
NcGue in this city some three years ago,
when she was Miss Mamie Conway and lead
ing fast life. He became infatuated with
her, took her on a long trip through the
South, and Iavished a good deal Of money
on her. His funds gave out finally,
however, and she left bin at
Mobile and came back to this city, while he
went to Cincinnati where be obtained en-
ploymeut as 8 bartender on the river. BOst-
wick came here last Tuesday from Evans

He met Mrs. MeGue the same day, again on

A BRUTAL HUSBAND.

,jected Her To.
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-There was an interest
ing scene in the Desplaines street police
court this morning when George B. Tatge
was brought into the box. The complainant
was his wife, Bertha, very pretty woman,
who told the court a tale calculated to destroy
her husbands reputation for truth
and sobriety. About three months
ago she said she was compelled
by her husbands brutal treatment
to leave him. He frequently, she said,
dragged her about the room by her hair, and
on divers and sundry occasions tore nearly
all her clothes from her person. He chased
her about the house with carving knife on
one occasion and at another time with a
razor, threatening often to throw her out of
the window. Just before she left him
he stole all her jewelry and pawned it.
About six weeks ago he was discharged from
the Western Union Telegraph company,
where he held the position of cashiers as
sistant, for being short in his accounts.
Last Sunday night she saw him in church
He followed her out and after some words
threw her into a snow bank, struck
her several times and demolished her hat.
For this assault she had him arrested.
Tatge contradicted several of these state
ments and said his wife had not been faith
full to him, and she was a woman without
principle. He has already begun divorce
proceedings against her. AS Mrs. Tatge did
not have her witnesses present the case was

AN ABSCONDlNG MAYOR.
Particulars of the Flight of Thomas Ne

Particulars of the Flight of Thomas Ne
wins Of Adrian, Mich.
PoRT TOWNSEND, w. r., Feb. 26.-The
following are the particulars relating to the
flight of ex-Mayor Thomas Nevins: About
one year ago he came here from Whatcom,
W. T., engaged in practicing law under the
name Of John B. Voorhees,, and soon became
associated with A. /. Teele, with the firm
name of Teele d Voorhees,, and fourshed.
Upon Teele's election as justice of the peace
last November the firm dissolved, and Voor-
hees began practice on his own account.
After his disappearance on Saturday it trans
pired that he was the absconding mayor Of
Michigan who disappeared with a portion of
the bonds issued by the city council for wa
ter works, and sold bonds to the extent Of
$4,000 This resulted in those who were
responsible being found guilty Of exceeding
official authority Voorhees, claimed he left to
screen others, assuming the responsibility
himself, as he was single while the others
were married He also states that he re-
ceived no money for the bonds, it being de-
posted in a New York bank in trust for the
city Of Adrian. The bonds were subse-
quently Cancelled and Adrian lost nothing.
When he arrived here he was recognized by
persons who had known him in Michigan. He
convinced them that he came west with the
desire to redeem himself, 50 they permitted
the matter to rest until his fight became
known. His friends here claim his indebt-
edness, amount not known, will be paid in
full
The immediate cause Of Nevins' flight
was the receipt of the telegram from friend
in Michigan, informing him his whereabouts
was known. Nevins settled his affairs,
raised small sum OF money, forging the
name of Port Townsend business man,
and departed on a steamerfor San Francisco
under an assumed name. His fight was
not known until after the steamer reached
San Francisco, thus precluding any hopes Of
his capture. 1t is believed he has gone to
South America

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-In the house a
conference report on the army appropriation
bill was adopted.
Mr.. Cobb moved to suspend the rules and
take from the speakers table, for reference
TO the committee on public lands, the house
bill repeating the pre-emption and timber
culture and desert land laws with the senate
amendments thereto. In supporting the
motion, Nr. Cobb said no greater evil had
been done to the future Of the country than
bad been done through fraud and perjury uu-
der the laws which it was proposed to repeal.
Mr.. Converse asserted that more fraud had
been committed under
TIE HOMESTEAD
than under the pre-emption laws. aud iu-
stAnced the case of Estes park, Col, which
had all been taken up by Lord Dunvaireu
under the homestead law.
Mr.. Payson controver;ed this statement.
and stated that he had papers in his posses
sion showing that Estes park was taken up
under the pre-emption law.
Mr. Valentine here arose and stated that
he thought be voiced the sentiment, OF the
people OF ;he West in protesting against the
repeal OF these laws The demand for the
repeal came from two sources: First. from
the grea; railway corporations which could
not raise the price Of their lands as long as
the pre-emption law remained in force; and.
second. from the
GREAT CATTLE KINGS,
who wished the timber culture act repealed
in order that their herds might roam over the
prairics undisturocd BY settlers.
M Perkins took the same view OF the
question and characterized the bill as in
genioas legislation in favor Of the large cat
tie organizations OF the West
Mr.. Converse opposed the repeal Of what
he considered the beneficiary laws II there
was fraud committed under the laws let the
rlscals who committed it b. turned out and
honest meu put in their places.
Mr.. MAgiuuis thought the bill should be
entitled an act in the Interest Of cattle kings
aud to double the price OF railroad lands.
Mr.. Holman summed up the issue pre-
sented, a. being whether public lSuds should
ee disposed o. to actual settlers or TO specu-
lators

Mr.. Randall then said: Recognizing the
significance of the vote just taken, and
knowing the issue was distinctly made as
AGAINST THE SILVER CLAUSE,
and being aware that majority has declared
against that proposition. therefore assume
myself the responsibility, believing that the
members OF the appropriations committee,
if an opportunity were offered, would uuani-
mously sustain me in the position of moving
to suspend the rules in the manner stated in
the resolution, with everything connected
with the coinage eliminated both from the
bill and resolution. Mr.. Randall
then moved to suspend the rules
so as to take up the sundry civil bill and
consider for one hour the clause relating to
the New Orleans exposition. This was OBJ
jected TO as not specifically eliminating the
silver question and thereupon Mr.. Randall
asked unanimous consent to strike from the
bill the silver coinage clause, but Hepburn
objected. Then Randall modified his motion
so as to move to suspend the rules and pass
the sundry civil Till with the silver clause
stricken out. After two hours of debate on
the New Orleans proposition with the oppor-
tuDity being offered 10 amend the same. The
motion was carried aud lengthy discussion
followed on the proposed appropriation to the
New Orleans exposition. Messrs. Kelley.
Bayne, Folett, Kiefer, Ellis and Others
favored it and Horr argued in opposition.
Without action the house adjourned.
