Sp ecial to the Globe.
SAUK RAPIDS, April 1S.-It is hard to
ind anything new and interesting in this
iesolate city to-day. 1t is Sunday, and
probably the most active day of rest ever
passed within these corporate limits. Not
a church bell has awakened the echoes of
the valley with its peal, and perhaps this is
most especially due to the fact that there is
not a bell now hanging in the
city. Regular services were held
this morning in the Congregational
and Baptist churches, and the pastors dealt
touchingly with the sad features of the af-
Fiction under which the people are trem-
bling. The sun shone brightly, and in the
barren branches of the trees, that stand like
CHASTITY cenotaphs to the once thriving
towns, birds sing plaintivey, as if they too
shared the sadness that rendS the hearts of
the people. Brighter skies never looked
down on the valley than are reflected in the
bosom of the restless Mississippi to-day.
The heat is almost oppressive. and
the shade of tents and ruined
walls is eagerly sought by visitors,
whose only object in coming here is curiCS-
ity. This circumstance seems to Tighten
the cloud of gloom that oyerhangs the COM
munity, and they are already planning for
rebuilding the fallen walls and replanning
so seriously that the prospects are that
many of the buildings will be replaced be-
fore the summer months nave passed. Two
new relief stations, substantially built OF
boards and joiSts, are being erected to take
the place of the vast tents that would
prove Intellectual i'll protecting the
goods under them from the storm, should
one occur. Other than this there is no
work going on excepting that various COM
mttees are attending to their duties in a
quiet way. Seven excursion trains from
different points on the Northern Pacific
road, arrived here to-day. Fully TO-
people have been Oh the grounds, looking
over the views. AS the receipts from these
excursions over the expenses are to be do
mated to the relief fund it is estimated that
the benefit thus received will amount to
nearly $40,

PRIVATE CORPORATIONS.
A Demand Made That Laws Re-
Iuting TO Them be Enforced.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, April ia conf
mittee Of the surviving members OF the
state constitutional convention of 1872, has
prepared an address to the people of Penn
sylyania, asking that action be taken look
ing to the selection of members of the legis-
lature at the next general election who will
provide regulations for the enforcement of
the constitution. The address states that
the convention adopted numerous important
changes and at a special election the peo-
pie ratified the new constitution and it
went into effect. Among the important
changes made were those relating to private
corporations, railroads and canals. They
were intended to limit companies enjoying
corporate franchises to the purposes for
which they were created and to impose
upon them such restrictions as seemed need
full TO protect the interest of citizens as well
as OF stockholders from oppression and in
justice.
'sThe constitution cannot wholly enforce
ITSELF" The address continues: Nor could
it provide detailed regulations for its enforce
by tho legislature in all cases where all laws
ALREADY in existence cannot be applied or are
insufficient. The adoption of the new consti-
tuition was q command 10 the general assem-
bly, TO enforce those provisions by appropri-
ate legislation; but this mandate has not been
obeyed."
In conclusion the address says:
''This undertaking Of constitutional enforce
ment should be carried out as was the work
OF the convention Itself, independent of and
free from all considerations connected with
party interests. No free government can
long exist where the organized law OF the
state is dehed."

FORT WORTH, Tex. April 1S.-Some
days ago man who gives his name as +.
Strob was arrested and lodged in jail here
on charge of lunacy, Postmaster Field of
this city saw brief notice in the daily
papers of the arrest, and at once called to
mind telegram he had received from Sec
retary Bayard to find out what he could
about L. StrOb, who was in this section of
Texas. Capt. Field did so, and telegraphed
the result TO Secretary Bayard. 1t seems
that Strob had fallen heir to an immense
property in nAlsace-LOrraine, and also has
wealthy relatives in New York city. Some
time ago StrOb telegraphed to his New
York relatives that he had been pursued
while near Harold by brigands, that he had
killed one Of them and was in Texas Jail.
His relatives at once went to Mr.. Bayard,
who telegraphed Gov. Ireland in regard TO
1t, and to Mayor Smith to employ the best
counsel, and our postmaster to find out
about Strob'S case. Inquiry soon showed
that no one answering Strob's description
was IN any jail, nor had any brigand been
killed by any one near Harold. The rela-
tiyes were then anxious to find Strob, and
Texas papers werc
FILLED WITH ADVERTISEMENTS
to the effect that:
''F. Strob will learn OF something greatly to
his advantage il ne will call ut the law ofice

No one answered the advertisement.
When few days ago, a fine-loOking Ger
man, well dressed. was noticed behaving
very Gueerly talking to himself excitedly,
throwing his arms about and lodging be-
hind posts and trees, as If afraid of some
one, an officers attention was called to
him, and he was arrested, when he gave his
name as Z. Strob. He was at once taken
to Car.er's Office and the attorney soon saw
he was demented. and filed the lunacy
charge. Strob is SpiendidIy educated,
speaking English, French. German and
Italian fuently. In his lucid intervals he
is q courtiy gentleman, and will never
speak about his relatives or private affairs,
either sane or insane. There is a mystery
connected with the man. His relatives
have telegraphed $500 here for his Immedi-
ate use, and gentleman is on his way here
TO look after Strob.

NEW YORK, April 1s.-Eoratio Onder-
donk, who died at his home in ManhaSset,
Long Island, on April 6, left curious will.
Mt. 0nderdOnk was rs years old when he
died. His family was one of the oldest
and most respected on the island. He was
married twice. His second wife left her
property TO two sons, John and Francis,
whereas, the father believed it should have
been left in trust TO him. He refused to
deliver the property to the sons, and suit
was brought for its recovery. Francis
withdrew his suit, but John persisted, and
out of this trouble grew the feeling which
made the father diSinherit the boy. The
estate is valued at S1.5OO. 900, consisting
mostly of railroad securities. The will
leaves the greater portion of the property
in trust for the benefit of the teStators,
three daughters by his first wife, and their
children. OF the two boys by the second
wife, the elder is absolutely disinherited on
account of his contumacy. A conditional
bequest is made to the younger as follows:
III Francis engages in any reputable busi-
ness; does not oppose this will; does not
marry before he Is IS years old without the
written approval OF
THREE OF THE EXECUTORS;
never uses spirituous or malt liquors, to-
cotic, stupefying, or intoxicating substances
and never visits gambling houses, horse
races, poker houses, billiard saloons, or any
disreputable or questionable places, houses,
or resorts, and avoids unuecess sarily visiting
or aSsociating with spendthrifts or immoral
vile, or pronigate persons"
Then he may receive the income of
$50, 600. If he fails to continue in this
path of virtue the income goes to the law
ful issue, or TO his next Of kin. To each
of the heirs who shall promptly file with
the surrogate of the county written stip-
ulation to assent 10 the conditions of the
will, and TO use all legal means to MAIN
tain it, the sum of $500 is left absolutely.
\ failure to at once sustain the will by a
legatee makes q forfeiture OF all rights,
and in case the immediate heirs should
neglect TO try 10 enforce the provisions Of
the will the surrogate is earnestly asked
to employ an able lawyer at the expense OF
the estate TO see that the will is probated.

and the whole party proceeded to Sauk
Rapids, being joined by others at different
points on the route. They remained look
ing over the ruins for several hours, when
the tEain returned to ST. Cloud, and other
hours were spent amid the ruins. On the
return trip the train left at 9 o'clock, and
arrived I'm st. Paul at 9 p. n. Everybody

MADRID, April 1s.-At 1880 o'clock this
morning, while the bishop of Madrid was
ascending the steps leading to the entrance
of the cathedral he was shot with a revolver
by aprieSt standing at the top of the steps,
the ball entering his abdomen. This was
followed by another shot, which wounded
the bishop in the side, whereupon the
wounded man fell on the steps. Tne priest
then descended the steps and fired still ana
other shot, which took effect in the bishops
thigh. The bishop was borne in an un-
conscious condition to a private chamber in
the cathedral, where the last sacraments for
the dying were administered to him. The
priest was arrested. Being Palm Sunday
the cathedral was more than usually
crowded by worshippers, and when the
fearful work of the priest was realized a
furious mob followed the carriage in which
he was conveyed TO prison by gendarmes,
whose presence alone prevented his being
lynched. The motive for the crime was
revenge, the man who fired the shots hav-
ing recently been dismissed from the priest
hood and having fruitlessly applied to the
bishop to be reinstated. Queen Christina
has inquired as to the bishops condition.
The pope has telegraphed his blessing.

STILL WORKING HARD.
The Minneapolis Relief Committee
Continuing Its Prompt Measures,

The executive committee of the relief
committee of Minneapolis met at the city
hall at o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr..
S. w. Farnham, who Lad just returned
from Sauk Rapids and St. Cloud, stated
that many persons whose homes were de-
stroyed were preparing 10 erect homes ton
the sites of the ones destroyed by the cy-
clyne. He also stated that one thing that
was causing difficulty was the almost ell
tire absence of tools. John De Laittre, the
chairman of the committee, which was in
strumental in buying of the gentlemen who
contemplated running an excursion to the
two towns, made his report, stating how
the men had been bought OF. He thought
that the crowd who went up would number
nearly 1900 and that the relief committee
would receive at least 500. George A.
Pillsbury thought it would be a good plan
to run another excursion train on Tuesday.
The following telegram, which had been
received at late hour the night before, was
then read:
Sauk Rapids, April 17.-Hon. J. c. Merri-
man: Committee finds at least sixty-eiRht
