RaseIess Rumor.

There was a rumOr atlOat yesterday that
tbe Wabash. st. Louis & Pacific road had
abandoned its line. This roads runs from
Abba to St. Louis and it is over this line
that the Minnesota q Northwestern road
has made connection with st. Louis. The
runor naturally gave the impression that
the Minnesota & Northwestern would be
obliged to look for some other inlet into ST.
Louis. The Minnesota IL Northwestern
people were interviewed, and said there
was no truth in the report. and that it must
have grown out of the fact that The Wabash
objected to their running sleeper from st.
Paul to Abba, as it neceSSitated a change
of o.,rs. The officials of the Minnesota 4
Northwestern road asserted that this matter
would soon be adjusted, and sleeper
would be run from this city. At all events
they will run through train to st. Louis
and give all the modern accommodations.

after Nlorrd Nahea1.

The freight agents of the roads interested
who attended the meeting of the North
western Traffic association held in Mil
waukep Thursday, returned yesterday. At
the meeting the following roads were rep
resented:
Northern Pacific, St. Paul & Duluth, Chi
capo g. Northwestern, Milwaukee. Lake Shore
& western and the Wisconsin Central.
The Rock Island and Burlington &
Quincy, roads interested, were not repre-
Cented and several members of the aSsOcla-
tion consulted the officials of these roads in
Chicago. and they entered the agreement
m adol;t the same rates made between CHI
cago St. Paul and Minneapolis between
DnIuth and Superior and Chicago and Mil
yankee. leaving it to the interested lines
whether wheat should be taken at the same
rates as between Chicago and st. Paul.
This action is of considerable Importance,
es heretofore the rates between Chicago
and Lake Superior ports were higher than
the rates between Chicago and st. Paul
and Minneapolis. During the past few
months a great deal of wheat from the
Northwestern granaTies has been shipped
70 Dnluth and other Lake Superior points,
which will be in store when navigation
closes. 1t is the scheme of the roads to get
the bulk of this grain for winter transporta-
tion by offering exceedingly low rates.

general makeup. He never allows it to
iroop over the corners of his mouth III
gloomy, low-spiIited way, but 1t always
has a proud, naughty expression and curls
upwards towards the heavy growth OF
raven hair that always lies smooth ana
shining across his broad forehead. Mr..
Rockwell is one of the very few men who
have the moral bravery to say 10 when II IS
best that if should be said. 1t can be seen
by his firmly set lips and unfinchlng gaze
that he is man of determination. eSpecl-
ally when trying to look camera out OF
cOuntenance.
Mr.. Rockwell was born in Springfield.
Mass, thirty-five years ago, and received
an ordinary education in the public schools.
He was an apt scholar, and was closely al
lied to his books. lie had the rare faculty
of remembering everything that he
read. When he was about ten
years old his parents moved to
Quincy, ILL.,. and he accompanied them and
learned the business OF telegraphy. A few
years later lie came to Lake City. this state,
and took a position under E. F. Dodge. as
telegraph operator, and afterwards, Wheh
Dodge came to ST. Paul. was made station
agent which position he held from ~ to
Us. In 1882 he came to st. Paul as chief
clerk in the general freight and passenger
department of the St. Paul q Duluth, and
a year later was appointed assistant gen.
eral freight and passenger agent Of the
same road. and holds that position to-day,
and is secretary of the Northwestern Rail
way Passenger Agents association. Wher-
ever Mr.. Rockwell has lived he has made a
record that reflects great credit on ham,
which he may point to with pardonable
pride.
There are but few better Shakspearean
scholars in this part of the country than
Mr.. Rockwell, but his innate modesty pre-
vents him from telling people how much he
knows about the great dramatist and his
works. He has but one peer in the North
west. and he is Igliatius DOnnelly.
He is one of the greatest base ball enthu-
s.asts in the country, and carries the games
1f a season and the results in his mind as
easily as the ordinary person remembers an
errand, but his enthusiasm never leads him
to wager money on a result. On historical
facts and raih DAD data and detail he is an
encyclopedia. and railroad men consult him
as confidently and naturally as Napoleon
consulted his oracle. He stands away up
In railroad circles. and is one OF the most
reliable men in the business.

PhiIo A. Rockwell.

In looking down the long rank OF st.
Paul railroad men there is not face to be
seen that strikes one more favorably than
does that of Philo A. Rockwell. assistant
general freight and ticket agent OF the st.
Paul & Duluth. 1t is striking because 1t
always wears a smile and is more than Or
dinarily handsome. Mr.. Rockwell is one
of the youngest railroad men in the city,
and has the reputation of being one OF the
most conscientious men in the business. 1t
is seldom that he is found away from his
desk, and while there he is an assiduous
worker and ready and willing at all times
to answer pleasantly any question that may
be asked him.
1t will be seen from the cut below that
Mr.. Rockwell is a handsome man. he

INVOCATION.

Zephyr, on their summer path,
Touched with odors rare and sweet,
Over meadows cool and rath
Borne along on honeyed feet,
Tell, o tell me, m plore,
Where has strayeu my Elsinore.
Lovely as the lily's bell
Is the one whom | adore,
Roster than words can tell,
Fair and faultless Fillmore.
Pretty girl that hecks the sky.
Have you seen Der passing by?
You should know her by her grace,
Nothing i'll comes near to her;
Sunshine beams upon her face;
She is loves interpreter.
When my paragon you see,
Sing your sweetest notes to me.
Fleecy cloud that in the blue
Smlest over toll an care,
Is my loved one known to you
Your fond 9rie is so wide,
Seek her, send her to my side.
Long wait; she does not come;
Hope is weary, JOY is vain.
Must my life's long martyrdom
For her coming end in vain?
But no other ! adore
Than fair AMI faultless Elsinorei

GOSSIPs OF THE CAPITOL
THE soupIT IN '8S,

A prominent New York politician
has Just written private letter to q
Southern gentleman, now in this
city, in which the following language
appears ;-"It rs q little early, but the
New York democrats are alive. If a
New York man was nominated in
1888 they generously say they are
willing to give second place to Lee
OF Virginia; Carlisle, OF Kentucky, or
Wheeler, OF Alabama. All these are
good men. Will the South be will
ing to yield first place to New York;"
This is explained to mean that
Governor Hill will be urged upon the
National Convention with all the
energy that the machine possesses.
Secretary Whitney will be the second
choice of the delegation. | met Gen.
Wheeler at the capitol this afternoon,
and asked him what he thought of
the selection of a Southern man for
the second place on the next demo
cratic ticket. His answer was
prompt. at would defeat the very
best ticket that could be put in the
field" said he. "Only one Southern
man survived tire war who could have
succeeded and he is now dead
mean Robert Z. Lee. His purity Of
character endeared him even to his
enemies But the Vice Presidential
candidate should be chosen to carry a
doubtful State. He will come from
Indiana, Ohio or the Pacific coast
The new Senator from California
promises to develop into an import
ant man. He is of good address
capable and rich. Speaker Carlisle
who lives just south of the Ohio Riv'
err was not participant in the war
He would be an excellent candidate
did he dwell outside a Southern State
But no Southern man who has the
interests of the democracy at heart
can fail to admit that the South must
wait even yet while. 1t must be pa

A correspondent at Bowie, Ariz.,
sends this eulogy on the death of
noted gambler:
again has the death angel made a
play in our camp. He syooped down
last night and Immediately lit out
again, and bore away the immortal
soul of as square man as ever turn
ed card or coppered a bet. Jim
Evans was one of Natures nobleman,
and we feel that nothing can ever
again stake us after such g great loss.
In the stirring game Of life he always
played his bets wide open, and if the
cards ran against him he never beefed.
He just took things as they came with
out kick, and now that he has been
compelled to jump the game, our
hearts are sore and our tears patter in
mournful unison as we stand and
silently drink to his memory. Jim's
manhood and true nobility OF soul
cropped out in his every act. He
would never pick up \ tenderfoot and
play him for q sucker and pull his
leg for all his dust, but would take
him kindly in hand and teach him
how to act at a bar and how to buck
at the different games, and do all he
could to elevate him and make q man
of him. 1t seemed to be his constant
aim to get hold OF the innocent and
inexperienced, and by his wise teach
ings and careful training make them
nobler and better. >
death loves a shining mark, and
she hit dandy when she turned lose
on Jim. He never played q short
card nor overlooked bet, fact thai
is recorded on the unsullied pages o
the Book of Life above. He wal
square and open in all his dealings
and never weakened on a bluff as Ions
as he had chip to back it up. Ala
poor Jim! But why should we mourn
for he is happier now away up beyond
yonder starstudded battlements ofglor,
Jim is standing with his breech
es in his boots, sizing up tn,
place and trying to catch ontC
the points of the game. Good-by oil
boy, and may your last sleep be quie
and peaceful as the monday snooz
of babe. And when the last truml
shakes up the earthly echoes an,
Gabriel calls court up above, ma,
you go through the cross-examinatiol

Trust not-trust not her ticke heart
1t beats thy spirit to beguile;
Her every word is framed in art
And ruin dwells with her smile.
She hath her sigh-she hath her tear
And both she does command at will,
The purest hopes of man to scar,
The sweetest flowers of life to kill.
Is thine heart of feeling tone?
Oh let it freeze in solitude
Thou wilt escape the bitter moan
OF cheated Joy and hope subdued.
Go-trust the tigress ere she spring
Trust the coiled adder's deadly vile;
But trust not that beguiling thing,
False-hearted woman, ,sIartful ssmile.
Her eye with seeming truth is bright,
The bloom upon her face is fair,
Thy bosom's dearest bliss to blight
And plant the sting of anguish there,
Then, trusting fool, will sorrow bind
Its folds around thee day by day,
And on thy desolate mind,
Dull madness will forever prey.
