Grant by C. Wood of this place he had re-
ceiyed only $1,000, Mr.. Wood saws:
During the week of the Grant * Ward
failure sent the general $500 on account
of my share due for his services in 1SG1-5,
and rendered him loan of 81, 200 for one
year without interest or security
with the privilege of renewal
on the same terms. He answered
me under date of May -. 1884. thanking
me for my offer, saying that he did not
have enough money 10 pay one months
servant hire, or for room were he to leave
his house, and stating that the letter was
an acknowledgment for $500, payable one
year after date. L then sent him 81 900. to
which he replied, on May 70, saving that l
had conferred IN obligation he could never
repay. The money ne knew he could re-
pay. but, being caught without funds it
became a serious question What to do. He
said l had relieved that anxiety. as every
preparation had been made to reduce expense
to a minimum. MT. Grant had offered the
Long Branch cottage for sale and his home
in New York was to go in the fall unless
prospects brigtened." when was pay
ment made?" In January, four months
before the note was due, received a check
from the general. L wrote to him that |
accepted it as payment in full. The letter
the general wrote was touching one, and
was Us follows:
Ny Dear. Mr. Wood: take great pleas
ure in enclosing to you the check which you
will find with this. L wish to state TO you
also how great was the relief afforded by
your timely loan. At the time of the failure
OF Grant n Ward had not 500 in my pocket.
l had paid my bills for the previous month
with checks on the firm. Most of these were
not presented until after the failure Your
check enabled me TO meet the second call
and gave me something 10 90 upon until
another turn could be made. Mrs. Grant
was fortunate enough to own a couple OF small
houses lin Washington, one OF which she
sold for the sum of $500, since which time we
have been comfortable i'll means to live upon
but with nothing to pay past debts. 1 return
you with tho'greatest pleasure $1,000 OF the
$500 which you so kindly, without solicita-
ton or claim upon you ssent me. lt affords
me great pleasure from the fact that l have
earned this by my own work. 1 hope in the
near future TO send you the other $500. With

The Puritan Gets There.

New YORK, Aug. 24.-In the third trial
race between the yachts Puritan and Pris-
ella to determine which shall defend the
American cup against the English cutter.
GeneSta, the Puritan crossed the home
line fOrty-One seconds ahead of the Pris-
ella. The corrected time gives the Puri-
tan the race by one minute and fifty-two
seconds Of the trial races the Puritan
won the first in strong breeze by ten
minutes. Priscilla won the second in ex-
tremely light weather by six and half
minutes, and the Puritan won the deciding
one in moderate breeze and smooth water.
While it is not actually decided that she is
the yacht that will be selected to defend
the American cup it is almost certain that
she will be chosen at a meeting of the
New York Yacht club, to be held during
this week.

a Rig Scheme.

In the GLOBE of Saturday morning last
there appeared a special telegram from
Croollston, Mimi, to the effect that the
party of surveyors sent out by the st. Paul,
Minneapolis q Manitoba road from st. Paul
had arrived there and would at once pro-
ceed to survey a line east from that city.
That little telegram, so simple on its face.
has developed apparently into one of the
most stupendOuS railroad schemes in the
great Northwest. Even railroad men,
while expressing wonder that the Manitoba
should send out party Of surveyors to lay
out line east from CrOokStOn, have not
even guessed az the project which was con-
ceived i'll the brain of the president Of that
system of road, which lies in the fertile valley
OF. the Red River of the North. The scheme, as
1t seems likely to develop, is the construc-
ton of line from Duluth to Crookston, and
the extension of the Devils Lake branch of
the Manitoba from its present terminus to
the falls of the upper Missouri river, giving
new Manitoba system of between six and
seven hundred miles, from Duluth to the
Missouri river, through the very center of
that region lying between the systems of
the Northern Pacific and Canadian Pacific
lines, and having at Duluth a lake outlet
for all the freight brought from that re-
giOn. Such, i'll few words, is a brief
statement of the plan which it is believed is
about to be carried out by Mr.. Hill.

said he, There may be more than appears
at first sight. The Baltimore dE Ohio have
been running into Chicago over the tracks
of the Illinois Central for several years.
But last summer the Baltimore & Ohio was
served with writ of ejectment by the
Illinois Central. the case was appealed, and
the matter is now in the courts awaiting
adjustment. If they are deprived of
the use of the tracks OF the Illinois Central
they must seek some other entrance to Chi
cago. They may do one of two things
either build a line themselves or secure
the use OF what is known as the Belt line.
The latter would be the most feasible. and
would enable them TO run into Chicago

fact that the movement was being diverted

Shore or New York Central tickets. or the
possibility OF their being obtained from

TO maintain al advance. and for that reason
no action was taken until more light could
be had on the subject. IL Mr.. Lord OF the

America, who lives in Lincoln, Neb., was

presidency of the league, and thenceforth
while holding that position l was pre-
cluded from taking part in politics,

as am president of the league. That the
league is dead is mistaken idea. We

scattered over the country. All of
them will be in active working con-
dition at the time of the national convention
to be held in Chicago next January, which
will be the largest ever held in America,

dropping an internal machine on the piazza

Friday night. MalSeskie picked
the thing up and had both
hands badly injured. He is still confined TO

held at the central station, but was

how the explosive came to be placed where
it was found. The residents in the vicinity
of MaleSkie's house are certain that Rubin
is guilty, although no one can be found who
saw him have an explosive in his posses
sion. The evidence is entirely circumstan-
tial, but no of strong character.
