He Caught the jug Going Down.

few months ago an old man named
Herman SwartZ was missed at the lake.
When last seen he was IN an open boat

at Glenbrook. One day the boat was

rope was made fast to the bow, and as
soon as it started up the bow rose in air.
The stern correspondingly depressed,
and away went the demijohn in the
water. Being nearly full of whisky it
soon took in enough water to sink and
as the tug quickcaed its pace the boat
tipped a little more and the corpse slid
after the demijohn. The mariners IN
the stern hove the tug to, but it was too
late to do anything. They all crowded
aft and watched the corpse sinking
gently down about three yards behind
the demiiohn. The cadaver slowly gain
ed on the whisky, and when about two
hundred feet down caught up with lit.

the sailors. Amid the silence of the
gathering night the tug lowed the empty
boat into Glenbrook.

these were carried, as well as some oars, in
case of accident. She Is thirty-seyen feet
In length and nearly seven feet BEAM
She Is built of steel plates, and is so con-
structed that the whole of the space be-
tween the deck floor can be filed with
electric cells, or accumilators of which up
ward of sixty were placed on board. Mr.
Toms, pilot, who was engaged by Capt.
Webb, and by Cavill to accompany them
on their channel swims, had charge of
the craft, and steered him across. Shortly
after 10 o'clock Mr.. Stephens and several
gentlemen, including Gen. F. Brine. the
balloonist, stepped into the launch, which
was towed out of the docks in the pres
ence of 4 large number of people on the
pier. The little boat got fairly under
way by half-pas 10, and glided quietly
out of the harbor. She made straight
across the food tideway and stood off
for Calais. She was low in the water,
and her steel hull being painted light 1t
was not long before she was lost sight: of
in the channel. Calais was reached at
about o'clock, after a most successful
trip, the passage having been made in
three hours and fifty one minutes.
The Volta arrived at Dover on the re-
turn trip shortly before s in the evening.
When she reached Calais 1t was found
that the electricity which had been stored
in the accumulators was so far from
being exhausted as to warrant the
return journey being attempted
without more ado. Even on the
arrival at Dover the electric current was
still strong, Notwithstanding that during
the last half hour the launch had been
driven at the rate of fourteen miles an
hour. The total distance traversed was
about fifty miles, and the speed was var
led at will by means of the switch. The
trial is regarded as a distinct success.
An amusing incident occurred on the
passage, and was a remarkable proof of
the noiseless way to which the launch
travelled. When about mid channel,
Toms, the pilot, observed seagull float
ing asleep on the water. The boat was
cun right alongside the bird, which was
actually caught by the neck by person
on board and taken into the boat. The
gull was brought back alive to Dover.
Reuters telegram states that the
Volta reached Calais in three hours and
fifty minutes, the return journey occupy
ing four hours and fifteen minutes.

Death of a Noted Minnesotian.

Officials in the general Office OF the Next
can Central railroad received II telegram
from Division Supt. Echcrt. at Freisnello,
$50 miles south OF Paso del Norte, an
nouncing that Col. Abner Tibbitts. presi-
dent OF the Ell Paso, st. Louis e. Chicago
railway, had been found dead in his berth
on n south-bound train for the City of
Mexico. Ex-Secrctary Window OF Mime
sofa was accompanying the deceased to
the City OF Mexico on behalf OF the cele-
brated Topolovampo Pacific railroad pro-
iect, in which both were largely interested
with Gen. Butler, and others. Col.
Tbbitts was in Dor health, and it was
thought that his death was the result OF
heart disease, s%upcrinduced by the rarity
OF the atmosphere through which the train
was passing at the time. The track through
that portion OF Mexico rises to an altitude
OF 1000 feet above the sea level. The de-
ceased formerly resided in Minnesota and
was widely known. At one time he lived
at Lake City, and represented Wabasha
county in the state legislature. Suisse
quently he was appointed register OF the
United States land office at st. Peter, and
filled the position for Il number OF years,
being succeeded by Henry a.. Swift, who
succeeded Hon. Alexander Ramsey MS gov.
ernor OF Minnesota. After his retirement
from Office Mr.. Tibbitts engaged in the real
estate business. hut several years ago re.
moved to New Mexico, where he engaged in
mining and stock growing.

Many years ago down in Idaho, dur

and named the place DEATHS Ford

legend to the effect that it was thus
named because so many lives had been

over he would caution them not to ret

More Dakota Admission Plans,

Washington Special: Mr.. Sprinrerintro.
duced a bill providing for the admission OF
Dakota rs y state. The bill differs from
all the measures hitherto presented on this
subject, and Mr.. Springer believes h it
will be agreed to by the committee on ter
ritory, which will hold a special meeting
for its consideration.
The bill provides for the admission OF
the territory without division. Provision is
made for the election to be held on
the second Tuesday of November next,
when a convention is to be chosen for the
formation OF n constitution, which consti.
tuition is to be submitted to n vote OF the
people, the election to he held at such
time and place as may be fixed by the CON
stitution. At the election in November the
people are also to vote on n location for q
state capital, and the three places receiving
the greatest number OF votes are to be
again submitted to Il vote OF the people at
the election fixed for the adoption Of IA con
stitution, and the place receiving the great
est number Of votes ut this election to be
designated as the state capital. No county
shall be formed which contains less
tina three thousand inhabitants.
Counties now existing which do
not contain that number shall be console
dated. At the election at which the CON
stitution is submitted for adop ton, state
officers and two members of congress are
to be chosen.
There is nothing to prevent the election
OF two memhers to the second session OF
the present congress-, but, as the constitu-
ton cannot be adopted earlier thar Febr,l-
airy next, it is not likely that members will
be chosen to this congress, and it looks as
If the bill was drawn to prevent Duko-
ia from gaining admission prior to the
time fixed for the assembling of the
Eiftieth congress-. After being adopted
by aporular vote, the constitution must
be submitted to congress, through the
president OF the United States,
for the examination and approval OF that
body. Mr.. Springer thinks that should the
bill be passed ut this session, nllits require
ments could be fulfilled in ample time to
enable congress 80 admit the new state
prior to March /. 1887. The bill is SINH
