RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.


For some time intimations have been
made that the Milwaukee and Omaha
roads would put on fast trains between ST.
Paul and Chicago. but the carrying out of
the determination or intimation has never
been really expected by the public. The
public will therefore be very agreeably dis
appointed to be informed that each of
these roads will put on a fast train be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis and Chi
cago on the second day OF May next 1t
was stated in a dispatch TO a morning
paper yesterday that the Milwaukee Il st.
Paul alone would put on a fast train be-
tween the points named. This Is not
correct. The new departure will be a
joint movement. The fast trains will
start the same moment from the point of
departure and both will run on schedule
time. Ii is not known what time they
will make. The full orders or instructions
in regard TO them have not yet been prom
ulgated. IL has been asserted that they
would make the trip in thirteen hours from
point TO point At present there is no
authority for this statement. Late yester-
day afternoon no agent or representative
of either of the roads i'm st. Paul had any
further information upon the subject than
is stated above. 1t is understood that
there will be no additional charge made for
tickets on these fast trains. No second
class business will be taken. A good
many people are curious to see what the
other roads will do in regard to the change.

The Spectator of Saturday, March 20,
said in reference to Col. Glenn:
''Col. NJ. W. Glenn has been for many years
prominently identified with the industrial in
terests of the city, having by skill and perse-
verauce built up an extensive business in
connection with the Minneapolis Boiler
Works. He was born at Newark, n. j., Dec.
"a, 1880, and is therefore in his seth year, but
looks at least fifteen years younger. AT al
early age he went TO Mt. Vernon, o., and
when III years Old, entered a machine shop.
Entering the army during the war as color
bearer of the Eighth Indiana regiment, he
served so well that he was successfully pro-
NOTED until he became adjutgnt of the Thirty
fifth InGlana, and after his return home was
made colonel of the Seventeenth Ohio militia
He still bears the scars of wounds received at
the battle Of Rich Mountain. In 1868 he came
TO minneapolis and was for years with the
NOrtu oJdr iron WOfKs. When he purchased
his present boiler works in 1S78.it was a mere
side adjunct of the old Minnesota Iron Works.
Having brought to the business a wide ac-
quaintance and high reputation for mechani-
cal skill, he soon became a leading boiler man
ufacturer OF the Northwest. His establish
ment gives constant employment to sixty
men. For fourteen years COL Glenn was in
the city oOun' ii, was chairman of the board
of county commissioners, and has frequently
made stir in local politics. In person he is
of stalwart and rugged proportions. He is
said to have already acquired considerable
wealth and seems on the high and royal road

THE SODA MOTORS
To Take the Place of Steam Within
Sixty DAYS.

The Minneapolis. Lyndale & Minnetonka
Railway company has ordered eight of the
Honigman soda motors, adapted to narrow
guage tracks, and has purchased the right
to operate the same in the state of Mime
sofa, the consideration approximating $780,
600. The motors will be ready within sixty
days, and will take the place of steam and
horse power. The work on the Hutchinson
extension is progressing, and delegation
from Watertown was in the city consulting
with the managers of the road relative to
bringing the motor to that place.
ANOTHER KICK.
The decision by the supreme court for the
motor company in the suit commenced three
years ago by George r. Newell to eniuin
the operation of the road on First avenue
south, does not appear to have put
Quietus upon the kicking of property
owners. 1t is claimed that the supreme
court only passed upon the question as it
existed three years ago, and it reserved the
right to change it if evidence shows that
the tracks have driven travel from the
street, thus making additional servitude,
under which circumstances it cannot remain.
On the strength of this it is reported that
some of the property owners of Nicollet
and First avenues intend to bring suit in
the United States circuit court, with the
intention of carrying it to the United States
supreme court, if necessary, and to also
bring suit in the district court. to secure
damages for the conversion of the street
and injury to abutting property. The law
| yer engaged to bring the actions says. con-
corning the decision Of the supreme court:
1.-THE suit brought years ago, and upon
which the supreme court has just passed,
presented an altogether different state of
4 n F,sc hot
time there were no double tracks, the speed
was not so great, and the cars were not so
large as now used. If the motor can occupy
the streets to-day under existing circum-
stances, then say that the provision of the
constitution of the state of Minnesota which
provides for remuneration for private prop
erty taken for public purposes is meaning

DON'T DO IT.
o the Editor of the Globe

To the Editor of the Globe:
ST. PAUL, April 8, 1SS6.-Sir: Will you
please inform me through your paper in
what branches person is examined in those
civil service examinations? Also what step
must a person take to enter the employ of
the government? Also what are the neces-
sary qualifications? What is the ayerace
salary paid government employees? Truly
yours, J.M.G.
By applying to the member of Congress
from his district or to any member of the
civil service commission at Washington our
correspondent can get all the information
he desires. But if he desires to obtain
employment in the government service our
advice to him is to let the matter drop. If
anybody in your neighborhood has lob of
grubbing or fence building or anything of
the sort to let, then take it rather than TO
enter the government service as a clerk in a
department. To young man of energy
and ambition employment in the govern
ment service is little better than living
tomb. 1t is species of CALLING servitude
which opens no avenue of eminenee to the
aspiring youth. Keep away from Wash
ington.

For Lower Passenger rates.

The board of railroad commissioners yes
terday had preliminary interview with the
traffic manager of the Manitoba road rela-
tive to the fixing a maximum passenger
rate of cents per mile. The commission
ers think that the time has come when the
maximum rate for passengers i'm this state
should be fixed at cents. The same topic
will be discussed with each of the state
roads. No conclusion was reached yester-
day, and another conference will be had
next week.
The rate of 8 cents mile has been fixed
in Iowa, Wisconsin. Illinois. Kansas. New
York, Michigan, Missouri and South Caro-
lima, and it is reported that move for a re-
ductiOn of l cent per mile is soon to be made
in Dakota. where it is 8 cents now. No
position has been taken by the railroad
officials in this state further than TO assent
to discussion on the matter.

Judge Brill yesterday issued an order de-
nying the motion for an injunction in the
case of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany VS.. the st. Paul So Duluth Railroad
company. In his decision the Judge says:
All railroads in the United States are post
roads. and the provisions of the act of con-
gress of July "a, 1856. rendered it impossible
for any person or company to obtain in any
manner the exclusive right to build or main
tain line of telegraph along any post-road.
Any company which brings itself within the
PROVISIONS of that act may build and operate
a line of telegraph along any railroad in the
United States upon acquiring the usual right
of way, Notwithstanding any state legislation
or any contract to the contrary.
Judge Brill also holds that the contract in
this case does not grant an exclusive right,
as it does not expressly so state, nor is such
implication necessary.

Notsymp,oms, but the disease.

1t would seem to be truth apprecIable by
all, aud especially by professors of the heal
ing art, that to remove the disease, not TO al
leviate its symptoms. should be the chief aim
of medication. Yet I'm how many instances
do we see this truth admitted III theory, ig-
nored In practice. The reason that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is successfulin so many
cases, with which remedies previously tried
were Inadequate to cope. is attributable TO
the fact that IL is n medicine which reaches
and removes the causes of the various mala-
dies to which il is adapted. Indigestion,
fever and ague, liver complaint, govt, rheu-
matism, disorder of the bowels, urinary affec-
tons and other maladies are not pallated
merely. but rooted out by it. 1t goes to the
fountain head. II is really, not nominal a
radical remedy aud IL endows the system with
an amount OF vigor which Is its best protec-
ton against disease.

About o'clock yesterday morning Her
man Bachman was found in his room, at 1S7
Martin street, with bullet hole through his
head. He was found by his brother-in law
and was alive, although the deed had been
committed several hours before. DIR. Fltz-
simon was summoned and pronounced the
wound not necessarily fatal. Bachman was
in bed. and on a stand near by was q small
22-calibTe revolver. The indications were
that the man had placed the weapon in his
mouth and fired, the ball coming ont at the
back of his head. He was taken, later in
the day, to st. Josephs hospital and was
resting easily last night. Bachman has a
family in Brooklyn, N. Y, from whom he
has been separated ten years. He is proprie-
tor of the small candy and cigar store at the

not entitled to q reelection. In fact it is
generally understood that Mr.. Nelson will
not seek reelection, although perfectly
willing to serve the people if selected. Mr..

The state Lunacy mmission's Re-
POrt on the Ansane Hospitals.

port ON the Insane Hospitals.
The state lunacy commission, comprised
of G. Weston Wood and G. ii. Boardman,
has submitted a report of its recent visit to
the insane hospitals or Minnesota to Gov.
Hubbard. At the time of the visit there
were at the Rochester asylum SOB patients
under treatment. of whom 30S were males
and 304 females. During the past year
twenty-five deaths have occurred and four
have escaped. The hospital was found in
good condition, and so per cent. of the in
mates are employed, with probability that
this proportion will increase when tue
spring is further advanced. The commits
sion notes with pleasure the decrease in the
custom of restraining the inmates by
mechanical means, and it says in classic
language that this practice is falling into
''desuetude," not only innocuous, but
praiseworthy. The sanitary condition Of
the institution is good.
At the st. Peter asylum there are 500
males and 800 females. Twenty-three
deaths have occurred during the past year
and nine escapes have been made. The
number that are under mechanical restraint
is relatively no larger than at Rochester
The commission recommends, among other
things. a suitable gymnasium for both in
situations.

male audience at the cathedral last night
that filled the spacious structure. Upwards
OF $500 men were present, ane they were
held in the deepest interest for more than
one hour and half. The speaker dealt with
the subject of temperance, which he handled
in mastery style. He pictured in graphic
style the life of the drunkard and the road
that he Travelled in his downward coarse, and
appealed elOquently to his listeners to shun
the door of the saloon and work in the inter-
ests OF temperance. At the close of his re-
marks, printed pledges were passed through
the audience, and nearly 900 of them were
accepted. 1t was a successful and interest
ing sermon.

PICTUREsQUE st. PAUL.

A gem upon the rivers crest,
Glorious alike in snow or sun
Crowned city of the great Northwest
Whose swift career has just begun.
She sits upon the steadfast hills
Watching the wonders yet 10 be.
Where Mississippi's channel fills
To link mems commerce with the sea.
Like Rome she sends her legions out
To lands where thrift and life increase;
But not with pagan pomp and shout
Hers are the victories OF peace.
She thinks how fast the years have run
In which her marvellous tale is told
Proud empress of the midland sun
Whose history one short life may hold.
