The Dirigo Farm.

1t is seldom that so desirable piece OF prop
erty finds its way into the market, and in spite
OF the fact that it is bad season of the year,
for the disposal of country property, the COM
petition for Mr.. Ferris place promises to he
quite brisk. The sale cannot fail to be very
attractive one, as it includes such large
quantity and variety, and all quite recently
purchased, hence modern in style, and excep-
tional in quality. Among tae Jersey cattle to
be sold are two animals that took first prize at
the State Fair.

The Express says: "Several years ago Saco
horse dealer took a famous Messenger horse
owned By the Warrens of Saccarappa, to board
and short time sfterward sent communica-
tion to the effect that the horse was dead and
buried. The story was believed and the loss
of the horse mourned until day or two ago,
when the Wsrrens learned their valuable ami
NAL had long since ssen secretly carried to
New York and sold for a large sum. The
Warrens are enrsged about the matter and are

Explosion of Gas.

There was loud explosion of gas at the
corner of Fore and Atlantic streets last eve
ming, at 6 o'clock. 1t is supposed the explo-
sion was caused by an accumulation of sewer
gas in the old sewer at that point, and that the
tide backing in with much force caused the
compressed air to explode with such violence
that portion OF the street was torn up, great
rock lying over the mouth of the sewer was
thrown several feet, and turf was badly torn.
No other damage was done. The Street Com
missioner placed lantern at the spot to warn
travellers

GOOD TIMES IN SIGHT.

For some reason or other the condition of
the iron trade is taken as an index to bust

IOWA EPURLICANS.

As was expected, the Iowa Republican
state convention nominated the cut-and-
dried ticket yesterday, which had long ago
been slated by the monopoly bosses of the
state. The nomination of HULL for the
sinecure place on the ticket was a shrewd
dodge of the bosses, and was done with
the hope of recOnciling Republican grangers
TO the nomination of LARRABEE, who is the
monopoly candidate. The platform CON
tains the stereotyped Republican bloody
shirt defamation, and arraigns the admin
istration for nothing in particular and ev-
erything in general. When it gets down
to state issues, and reaches the liquor cues
ton, the platform spreads a good deal
without touching anything 1t is the
most awkward attempt to straddle that
has yet been witnessed. 1t beats the Re
publican platform in Ohio for clumsiness.
Rightly interpreted the Iowa Republican
platform means that it fayOrs prohibition
if prohibition is winning card, and if pro-
hibitiOn is not a winning card then it is OBJ
posed to it. That is all there is in the plat
form so far as the liquor question is con-
cerned. In this particular it is i'm contrast
with the clear. honest and explicit declara-
ton of the Democratic convention. The
Democrats put the question above eXpedi-
ency and based it on principle. The Iowa
Democrats say that they are opposed to pro-
hibition, and in this they give evidence of
the soundness Of their Democracy. i man

a stakeholder Talks.

On the st. Louis train yesterday morning
there arrived at Minneapolis a gentleman
from Boston who is q stakeholder in the
Manitoba road. He is on his way to North
western Dakota. where he has extensive
landed properties. He was approached by
reporter and asked what ne knew regard
ing the recent rumOrS which had the Mani
toba and Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy
roads connected so intimately. and what
the general feeling was among Boston
capitalists on such a combination, and also
what action Eastern capitalists thought
james j. Hill would be likely to take. He
said as regards the connection of the two
roads there has for the past two or three
weeks been much interest taken on the
stock market, and the rumOrS have been the
ground for some heavy speculations. 1t is
the general belief in the East at present that
the Burlington has secured large number
OF shares of Manitoba stock. but not suf-
hcient TO give it controlling interest, as has
been stated.
NO. l do not think" the gentleman
said, that James J. Hill ever had any in
tention of allowing the controlingl interest
OF the Manitoba road to slip from his pos

mad reason TO boom them, TO get all out
with the exception OF the majority which
he would reserve for himself. Some time
ago Mr.. Hill fixed things anew and the
stocks declined, and those who had pur-
chased while they were high We're not in
cimed TO drop them while low and lose hea-
Willy, but have held them for speculation. Until
recently nothing has been done in Manitoba
stocks. This last rush for stocks of that
company was caused by Mr.. Hill putting
some OF his blocks on the market, bringing
Others out and then securing old stocks.
while those held in reserve We're gobbIed UP
by the Burlington. There was quite
boom for time and those who purchased

rs also from those which the Burlington
secured from him. There Is an impression
IN finance circles that within a few years
MI Hill will retire from active railroad
work and become a stock speculatOr at
New York. His tastes run this way, and
as he is very cautious man he will make
a successful specUlator. He will retire
from the Manitoba with n large sum of
ready cash and he can untilize il in ways
which will pay him as well if not better
than the use il is put to at present"
