A RAILROAD CASE
I'm which the Northwest is Inter-
esteG Decided.


WASHINGTON. March 29.-The supreme
court to-day decided case No. 100, The Sioux
City d st. Paul Railroad company and
Alexander III. Rice and E. F. Drake, trus-
tees, appellant. VS.. The Chicago, Milwaukee
Il st. Paul Railroad company, No. SIT,
The Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul Rail-
road company. appellant, VS.. The Sioux
City 81 St. Paul Railroad company, Alex
ander III. Rice, Elias +. Drake and John II.
Gear ct al, appeals from the circuit court
of the United States for the district of
Iowa. Congress in 1864 made a grant of
land to aid in the construction of a railroad
from Sioux City to some point to be deSig-
mated by the state upon the Minnesota state
line. In the same act it made grant to
aid in the construction of railroad from
McGregOr, Ia. to a point to connect with
the other road in O'Brien county. The
grant was ten sections of place limits and
twenty miles indemnity limits at the points
of the intersection of the two roads. There
was a conflict in the land-grant limits. The
controversy was as to the rights of the two
companies in the land within the con-
flicting limits. The circuit court held
that each company was entitled to ain I'M
divided one-half of all the land within the
oyerlays, regardless of the limits of place
and indemnity. The supreme court holds
that the lands within the ten miles of the
place limits of the Sioux City & st. Paul
company, and outside of the place limit of
the other road belong to the other company
exclusively, that the lands within the ten
miles limits of the Milwaukee & st. Paul
road and outside of the place limits of the
Sioux City &c st. Paul road belong to the
former road exclusively. and the decree of
the lower court is reversed in these two
particulars. The court also holds that
when the place limits conflict, each COM
pany takes an undivided moIety. and that
in the indemnity limits, there having been
no selection by either company. each COM
pany takes an undivided moiety. The de-
cree of the court below is affirmed on other

Aid. Van Slyke has endeavored for two
years past to secure this plat for park

erty owners in the neighbOrhood asking
that park be established at the point men,
toned. 1t has always been held by Aid.
Van SlylSe that all triangular blocks In the
city should be reserved by the corporation
to be embellished and made attractive. To
his untiling energy is due much of the
present perfection of the park system, and
his plans embrace the locating of three parks
on Dayton's bluff-one at the prom
ontory overlooking the river where the
Indian mounds are situated. another on
the west side of Seventh street. extending
from that th0roughfare to Phalen creek.
and the selection of block at a central
point between the two first mentioned
strips, Mr.. Van Slyke is endeavoring to
secure the old bell tower triangle at the
intersection of Ramsey, Seventh and Sher-
man streets. and the prospects are favorable
to its purchase for park, although the
board of public WORKS laid the matter over
at a recent meeting.

s3dered by the Union.
The Dayton's Bluff Citizens union met
in regular session last evening, with ten alb
sentees. The secretary read letter from
Aid. Van Slyke, urging the importance of
securing the slopes of the Seventh street
fill from unsightly buildings. Z. Ii. Kelly
of the committee on mercantile and manu-
features reported that SIS, 900 of the $50. 600
bonus asked by the Bohn Manufacturing
company of WnOna for removing to st.
Paul was still to be raised. He emphasized
the Importance of manufactures to the city.
and the necessity of prompt action in Sc
curing the balance. A. Pugh reported that
he had received a letter from parties in
Wheeling, w. Va, inquiring what encour-
agement would be given to the establish
ment of nail factory at this place. The
factory, if established, will be a co
operative institution. the association to
be made up of number of
the striking nail-woTkers of that city.
The committee on sewers reported that the
third series of bids for the construction of
the Maria avenue system of sewers had
been opened by the board of public works
and that all bids had been rejected and new
ones ordered advertised for. The lowest
bid was S53. 600. which was $1,000 above
gineer. The engineer had recently raised
his estimate So, 200 on account of the i'll
crease in the price of granite. The general
opinion was that
THE ENGINEERS ESTIMATE
was too low, and that the unsettled cOndi-
ton of wages was considered in figuring
bids. Aid. Kahn observed that the contract
was a heavy one, involving risk and re-
spOnsibility with the danger of striking
water, and that bidders wanted good con-
tract. He thought that the estimate of the
engineer was not sufficiently liberal. On
motion of A. Pugh a resolution
was adopted requesting the board of
public works to let the contract to the low
est respons bic bidder on the next opening
of bids. The much-dscussed Third street
grade was brought up again in the shape of
plan submitted by Eld Kahn, which pro-
posed reaching the top of the bluff on an
easy grade by a new and cheaper method.
His plan called for the opening of new
street from a point $50 feet east of the cor
ner of Third and Commercial streets and
near the end of the bridge approach. dag
Onally TO Ravhe street on Hoffman avenue,
two blocks east of Third street.
This would give an ascent of the
hill on a seven-fOot grade at a cost of about
$50. 900. The opening would be across un-
improved property The establishment of
a seven-foot grade on Third street would
cost from Sl75 900 to $780, 900. The mat
ter was referred TO Aid. Kahn for confer
ence with the city engineer and further de-
tails.
On motion of Mr.. Heineman the commit
tee on streets was requested to interest

comical pranks of McCorker and Old Hoss

been the first time the play had been pro-
duced. In fact it has been materially i'm
proved since its last production here. A
number of new songs and humorous feat
ures have been added to 1t, which MAKE IL
the best presentation of the famous nom
sensical comedy that has ever
been given in this city. Charles
Evans is the same limber-legged, double

ducing ludicrOus incidents that he has
always been, while Billy Hoey has improved
on the Old Hoss of other DAYS, and Is more
humorous than ever. Miss Minnie French

Both of the mares are in foal to Prince Dicta-

Mr.. Breen BOycOited and New
Union Formed.
The boycott against Mr.. Breen was for
mally declared yesterday, and Mr.. Breen is
waiting to see what kind of a sensation it
produces. In the meantime work is pro-
crossing on the court house with about
twenty men at work. Affairs took a new
turn yesterday by the organization of a new
union by the men now at wolk. They
call it the Limestone Cutters
union, and propose that all men
working ON the job hereafter shall belong
to their union. The initiation fee is placed
at 80 cents for one month after which it
will be SO. The following are the officers
elected yesterday: President George Kane;
vice president, NJ. Gallagher; secretary, NJ.
BURY; financial secretary, NJ. Mulligan;
treasurer Thomas Breen: sergeant arms.
j. Roach. They will hold a meeting Sat
urday evening. at which new members will
be received. These men are all satisfied
with their time and wages, VIZ:
eight hours work and 80 cents per
hour tor good men, and the union
seems to receive Mr.. Breen's sanction and
encouragement. The men assert that
few yeargs ago the limestone cutters were
organized here distinct from the sandstone
cutters and that this is practically a reOr-
ganiZatiOn. 1t may be mentioned that the
kasOta stone is limestone. Members of
the new organization said yesterday that
several members of the other union who
have been on the strike have joined them
and more are expected. They invite all
stonecutters to join them and say that
similar union will be organized at Kasota.
One Of the strikers yesterday said that
the new union would be nothing more than
a temporary organization, as they would
not be recognized as union men in any
other yard or city. He further said that
the statement that such an organization had
existed here in former years was erroneous.
No distinction was made anywhere be-
tween limestone and sandstone cutters,
