Corraled.

: MINNEAPOLIS, January 14-On May TO-,
1882, Thomas s. Ryan, John s. Mccarthy
and John Canon were passengers on a
Manitoba train between Delano and How
ard Lake. The two former were three
card monte men, and the latter was their
unsuspecting victim, and before the train
had left the limits OF Wright county. Mr..
Canon was $500 short in his accounts, and
the two sharpers were exulting over their
what fools there are in the world. Detec-
and he soon had the twain in limbo, and
bonds were called for at 500 each. j. B.
Flanagan, of st. Paul, and w. w. Brown.
Of Minneapolis, enrolled as bondsmen. and
the two sharpers started out again, and, as
the sequel proves, to the sorrow of
Mr.. Flanagan, who found at the time
Of trial that his bird had flown and his S700
bond was forfeited. He quietly took steps
to bring his man back to justice, with Mr..
Brown, who was also minus his bond.
Nothing further has been heard of the
twain, except news of McCarthy's death in
Missouri about two years ago, until last
Saturday evening, when Detective COnnOrs,
of St Paul, succeeded in capturing Ryan iii
Danville, Illinois, where he has been sick
nine months. He was brought to st. Paul,
and this morning he came before Judge
Coon to answer all Indictment found
against him February 20, 1885, for swind-
ling, by the grand jury Of Hennepin coun-
ty. He pleaded not guilty, and his trial
was continued to the next general term,
his bond being fixed at 81 900, which II. p.
Brown and Patrick Sullivan signed.

Southern Illinois Feels The Chill Breath
of Winter. a.
CHICAGO, January 1.-THE temperature
has remained below zero, and the night
started in clear and cold, with a prospect
of low temperature again tonight. Trains
are beginning to arrive more promptly, but
only two roads have been able as yet to
clear their Omaha lines. A gentleman
who arrived from the southern part of the
state this morning, said no correct ac-
count Of the violence of the storm in south
ern Illinois has been given. It began about
Dor 10 o'clock Thursday night, and al
though snow had ceased falling
yesterday morning, the weather gave
no signs Of moderating. Trains on all
roads are many hours behind time. The
Illinois Central is about the only line which
has kept up its passenger service. 1t has
managed to do this by making up extra
trains at different points along the road
lar ones. The east bound train from ST.
Louis to Cincinnati on the Ohio & Mis-
sissippi railway, was caught in a drift
west of Centralia early Friday forenoon
The drift was two miles long and sew
eral feet deep. The train was not
rescued until this afternoon. The passen-
gers suffered good deal, but the road Off
cials managed to get coffee and some pro-
visions to them. Two men were frozen
while digging at the drift, and were brought
into Odin Saturday evening. Fatalities in
the agricultural portions of southern Illi-
nois have been numerous. Two men were
frozen near the little town of Flora, while
driving cattle from a field. Two cars of
hogs, part of blockaded freight train,
were found frozen stiff Saturday morning.

Iron Highways.

ST. PAUL, Jan. IL. Manitoba engineering
corps has submitted reports covering the
extension OF the Pelican Rapids branch
and outlining what is thought to be a
cheap and feasible route through this fer
tile country at from Sis 900 to $2O, O,OO0a mile.
Eastward from Crookstown toward Leech
lake, they estimate the cost of construction
at $$2S,000 or less mile, a good deal of
bridging being necessary. This is intended
as Duluth connection. The extension
from st. Cloud to Richmond will be ready
for the last of the iron this week. It is also
stated that President Hill contemplates a
survey for a line from DEVILS Lake to Fort
BufOrd via the Turtle mountains
A meeting of freight agents of the var
ious lines interested in Minnesota, Iowa
and Dakota, which occurs in Chicago to-
morrow, promises to sbe of considerable
local interest. The approach of the time
for the expiration of the Northwestern
Traffic association (April} and all thatmust
be foreseen and accomplished before that
time, in order to give it a new lease of life,
will furnish the subject matter for the
meeting.

Money and Trade.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-The banks reported a
moderate demand for discounts, with calls
from grain and provision operators les
sened on account Of the light receipts of
the former, and a limited extent of packing
operations. Those who presented the
right kind of paper or collateral were read
lily Accommodated at 5@7 per cent, the Gus
tomary rate for time loans on collaterals
being per cent
Merchants report trade and country col
lections slow, but say that few days of
fairly good weather would cause very
marked improvement in the trade situa-
ton. ". '
New York exchange was scarce and
frmer. and seventy-five cents premium per
$1,000 was freely bid between banks, and
it was rumored that some institutions were
compelled to ship money to New York by
express to keep up their balances. 81,
Foreign exchange was steady. Sterling
bills on London were quoted at 489 for
bankers and sight, and sixty day bills were
quoted at 1861, with shippers document
bills at 484%@4S5. .a.-.

The Wrecked Orphan Boy.

CHICAGO, January 12.-Lewis O. John
son, one of the owners of the wrecked Or
phan Boy, who has been looking over the
wreck and cargo of the lost vessel, is in the
city. He says the lumber was broken into
kindling wood and the yawls were found
under it, and bore evidence of having been
cut away from the vessel with an AK. Mr..
Johnson was under the belief that the Or
phan Boy ran aground about December
9Th, under full sail, as the masts were
broken off close to the deck. The schooner
then went to pieces and washed ashore.
None of the bodies of the unfortunate sail
ors have been discovered, and some ven
tune the opinion they were found by fisher
men, who are the only inhabitants of the
shore, and, after being stripped of their
valuables, were buried. Captain Halliday
carried several hundred dollars and val
liable gold watch. Investigations are still
going on, and will continue for several
days.

Snow Blockades Raised.

50 OMAHA, Jan. 12.-The blockades on all
railroads out Of Omaha is now practically
raised. The Union Pacific and Burlington
& Missouri River are running regular
trains west, south and southwest The st.
Paul road still experiences slight delays,
but not sufficient to create any difficulty.
The Chicago & Northwestern is running
on time. All the Nebraska roads, which
have been practically at stand still for
tep days, are again getting rolling stock in
motion. Except Inconvenience to snow
bound travellers, no serious results are re-
ported from the great storm. It is remark
able that though this is the severest winter
for years, not single death from freezing
is reported from N Nebraska so far. The cat
tie in the state are in good condition, not
withstanding the intense cold. ST.
