A RAILROADS VICTORY.

By the presidents approval OF the act au-
thorizing the construction of bridge across
the Staten Island sound, known as Arthur
Kill, the Baltimore 81 Ohio railroad scores a
victory for which it has long been striving.
By degrees it had acquired territory and
right of way until it brought its road to the
outskirts of New York. There an appar-
emily insuperable difficulty met it in the
steady and concentrated opposition of the
VANDERBILT roads. Nothing daunted,
the Baltimore 81 Ohio. refused entrance
over the formers track, has overcome
the obstacle by roundabout way, an essen
tial part of which is the bridge whose con-
struction congress has just authorized and
the president approved. The Baltimore &
Ohio is a road which has always exhibited
disposition to treat the public fairly, and
its employees with humanity and considera-
ton. 1t has not been distinguished for the
dubious methods which have brought many
other roads into disrepute. It's success,
therefore, in etfecting an entrance into New
York, and consequently providing another
competing line from the metropolis to the
South and West, must be regarded in the
light ola pnblic benefit.

WHY THEY WE'RE WANTED.
The Collins RrOthers,iVVh no Were Ar
rested at Fergus Falls.

The Collins brothers, the two well-kno wn
New York confidence men, whose capture at
Fergus Falls and arrival in this city were
made known through the columns of yester-
days GLOBE, were taken to Chicago last
night by Detective John Heard of the Null
berry Street station, New York. Before GO
ing, Richard NJ Collins told a GLOBE reporter
that they were simply defendants in
civil suit before the supreme court of New
Extingisher Co. VS.. Collins Bros an action
brought to recover $4,000. The Collins
brothers, he says, were note-brokers in New
York, and the UneXcelled company drew
three notes amounting to 81, 900, which they
obtained and transferred to a Phila-
dephia broker He accepted them and
made out a check upon the
Unexcelled company for the amount, which
was protested. The Collins brothers were
then arrested and John T. Mcclure, a rner-
chant, put up bail for them in sums of $4,000
each. Collins said the case is to come up on
the 23d inst. and that they were on their way
to New York to appear at court. They were
up here on business. but had purchased their
tickets to return East, when they were ar
rested. He stated further, that there was
some difficulty between Detective Heard and
Chief Of Police Box of Crookston, which
caused their delay. Box claimed to have
made the arrest and wanted pay for it. The
prisoners would have gone on the 40 tram
but for this. Finally the matter was settled
between the detectives. Mrs. R. NJ. Collins
went East with them. She is q gen.
teel looking brunette, and when she visited
her husband at the police station at D. M,
she appeared very much broken down, al
though her face was kept calm by an effort.
The Collins brothers said that they had had
nothing to eat all day, and they were loud in
their protestations, against further detain-
ment. They telegraphed to Mcclure to find
out the reason, they said.

JOHNSON, better known as ''Ordway'' JOHN
SON. passed through the city yesterday en-
route for Washington. The urbane major
admitted that his visit was not entirely for
pleasure. In common with other Dakotians
the major, with soldierly gallantry, enthus-
iastically approves the resolution of the presi-
dent in taking unto himself bonny BRIDE
and he feels it his bounden duty as a commit
tee OF his fellow citizens to inform the presi-
dent that Dakota indorses his course.
If Influenced by this subtle gallan-
try which the major so well knows
how TO infuse into his manner.
the bride should suggest to her husband the
propriety Of showing their appreciation Of
Dakota commentator by bestowing upon
Maj. BURKE the receivership of the Aber-
deem land office, which becomes vacant on
July 9Th, and if he should concur in her view.
as new-made bridegrooms are wont to do. it is
probable that rather than run the risk of
seeming ungracousness the Mai. would
bring himself to accept the position. In the
meantime it is suggested to the equally
valiant Maj. BARRETT that the earthworks
which he also had thrown up around the
Aberdeen land Office are being subjected to
very inSiduouS undermining.

Held for Arsomand Murder.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE coroner's jury
which has been investigating the Canal
street tenement house fire of June 9, in
which eight persons were sutfocated and a
little child so injured that it has since died,
finished it's labors this afternoon and held
Charles Kelley to the grand jury. 1t will
be remembered that an effort was made to
fasten the crime on Thomas Durkln, hus-
band of one and father of another of the
victims. letter addressed to Mr.. Raleigh,
the occupant of the first floor, signed
Thomas Durkin," was received. IT. pur-
ported to be confession of the commission
of the deed. Mr.. Durkin proved complete
alibi, and an expert testified that Charles
Kelley wrote the letter. The verdict was
that the victims of the fire came to their
deahh by suffocation; that the fire was the
result of conspiracy; that while the jury
found it impossible to tell how many were
in the conspiracy, they recommended
that Charles Reilley be held to await the
action Of the grand Jury.

A NEW TRANSPORT

This is the age of invention and if every
thing hasn't been discovered it is not be-
cause somebody has not tried to find it out.
1t was supposed that the railroads were the
ultimatum in the way of providing rapid
transit and the means of transportation for
heavy freight. The great effort of modern
inventors has been to devise something that
would take the place OF steam as propel-
ling power. and it was expected that some
wizard Of the EDISON type would yet be
able to harness the lightning and make it
take the place Of the ordinary steam loco
motive. When that should be done
the common judgment was that the perfec-
ton of rapid transit would have been
accomplished. But new discovery has
been made, or at least claimed to have been
made, which is to take the place of rail-
roads The inventor of the cash-ball sys-
tenn which has recently been introduced
into the stores of the various cities now
comes to the front with an invention on the
principal of the cash ball which is to be
used in transporting freight. His idea is
to construct large chute into which
the ball is to be placed and carried
along at a rapid velocity. Instead Of
being driven along, the ball is to be
conducted by suction force. Ordinary
exhaust fans or blowers are to be placed at
certain intervals along the chute, which
will keep the bail in rapid motion. Sta
tons are to be established SO or 100 miles
apart, and at each station is to be attached
cushion springs to the chute and valves for
admitting air, and so arranged as to stop
the ball at the station or to let it pass on, as
may be desired. A ball eight feet in diam
eter will hold half carload of wheat and
will attain a velocity of 125 miles
an hour. 1t is stated that upon examining
the patent JAY GOULD offered to put up
the money provided he could have the con-
trolling interest, but the patentee declined
the proposition, as he was satisfied that
GoULD's purpose was to smother the in
vention. A syndicate in which some ST.
Paul and Minneapolis gentlemen are inter-
ested, propose to take hold of it and are
considering the propriety of establishing an
experimental line between the two cities.

WARNING TO CENSUS TAKERS.

WARNING TO CENSUS TAKERS.
The e '1ensation of Mr.. FRED PETIT
GREW Of tlandreau, Oak, as census enum-
orator, will not go very far towards de-
fraying the libel damages which Attorney
General RICE of Dakota has recovered
against him, in consequence of his indis
erection in reporting Mr.. RICE as an illegiti-
nate child. A jury has decided that the
Encouragement has been damaged to the
amount of something over $4,000,
and Mr.. PETTIGREW must pay up
or serve the state, unless subsequent trial
sets the verdict aside. A precedent is thus
established which will make census enum-
orators exceptionally careful. 1t will be
made even more valuable if it can be eX-
tended to include the return of individuals
not only born under a bar sinister, but
not born at all. That is an evil
which has been rather prevalent in
some cities of the Northwest, and which
could with advantage be exterminated.
A census is valueIess unless it represents
pretty nearly the truth, and it must be adj
mitted that undertaking regard for veracity
is not always characteristic of some
census reports. But it would perhaps be
expecting rather too much of an ambitious
and growing city to institute libel suits
against an enumeration who, through mis-
taken kindness, called into suppostious
existence for the city's benefit, individuals
whose only life is in his fervid fancy.

MORRISON DowNED.

Mr.. MoRRIsoN's tariff bill got black
eye yesterday. Mr.. MORRISON is not dis
couraged, but proposes to call it up again
next week. Notwithstanding Mr.. MoRRI-
SONS hopeful spirits it must be admitted
that tariff reform has its eyes very badly
bunged. and it is hoping against hope to
anticipate its success. The tariff monopoly
has its grip on this congress and
there is no way to relax 1t.
The only hope for a genuine tariff re-
form is by new congressional deal,
that is, by electing new congress. When
the people come to make up their congress
sonal tickets next time, it would be good
idea to keep the tariff well in mind, and at
the same time to exercise due care that no
man is sent to congress who has not the
moral strength to resist the seductive in
tluences which the manufacturing monopoly
eXerts. Congressman MORRISON is probably
not feeling in as cheerful mood just now
as he was few days ago, when, on footing
up the lists of tariff and antl-tariff men, he
had no difficulty whatever in figuring to his
personal satisfaction majority for his
measure. Since his motion to take
up the bill was defeated yesterday by
majority of seventeen, he realizes
what has frequently obtruded itself upon
his experience before, that it is
in politics the unexpected that happens.
Still the defeat of the tariff measure at this
time could hardly be called unexpected.
While it is conceded that a revision could
be made with advantage in many respects,
it was very grave question whether Mr.
MoRRIsoN's measure dealt with the ques-
ton as it deserved to be considered.
This feeling doubtless prevented many
members who really are in IA
vor of revision based upon equit-
able principles from voting for the bill.
But probably the most important argument
which influenced the house to defer consid-
Grafton of the tariff question was the late
ness of the session and the consequent lack
of time in which to thoroughly ventilate
the subject. There are many other mat
tiers of immediate Importance waiting &C
ton and it is essential that the house should
not waste time in proftless discus
sion if they are to receive consd-
GRAFTON. In view of the fact that
one hundred speeches on the tariff were
waiting to be inflicted upon an unoffending
public from the time the bill should be
taken up, the people at large will not be
disposed to look upon the defeat of the
measure in the light of national calamity.
1t might be added, too, that after yester-
days conclusive defeat, Mr.. MORRISON
displays more persistence than judgment in
declaring his intention to call the bill up
again next week. 1t is a notable fact that
three Minnesota congressman, Messrs
WAKEFIELD, STRAIT and NELSON, voted
yesterday with MI. MORRISON.

GLADsToNE,s PERSONALITY.

The reception accorded GLADSTONE by
the cheering crowds gathered to bid HIM
GOd-speed on his departure for Scotland to
begin the active work of campaigning, is
an evidence that the magnetic personality
OF the veteran statesman is still potent to
awaken the enthusiasm which is always ly-
ing dormant in any large assembly waiting
for the master touch to arouse it into life.
The ovation which the premier received is
a good omen. It augurs well for his sue
cess ON his Scottish tour, and conse-
quently for the success of the Irish cause.
Mr.. GLADsToNE's contestant for seat in
parliament has had the audacity to advance
as an argument against the retention of the
premier the assertion that he is too old. If
he maintains in the present campaign the
vigor which has characterized him ever
since he passed the allotted span of mans
life, three score-years-an it will be
only with the utmost difficulty that far
younger men will prevent themselves from
being surpassed. There is, too. every likeli
hood that GLADSTONE will put forth great
effort He realizes that his present cam
paign is the browning work of his life and
he will leave no stone unturned to bring
within the influence Of his strong person.

THE EXPOSITION BUILDING.

1t may be that the Minneapolis EXPOSE
ton building is in every way all that it
should be. 1t is quite possible that
the professional gentlemen who give it as
their opinion that the floors are not suffici-
emily strong are mistaken, and it is
eqally conceivable that the professional
gentlemen who maintain the opposite view
are in error. It is within the bounds of
possibility that either side may be right.
but it is inconceivable that both
are at fault. The question is
one of the utmost importance.
The Exposition managers cannot afford to
have the impression go out that the build
ing when completed will be unsafe. Still
less can they afford to have an accident
happen in the future which can, be pre-
vented by little prccaution now. 1t is

THE BOGUS BUTTER MATTE

The argument advanced by the makers
of oleomargarne that the use of beef prod
ucts in the manufacture of that article en-
HANGED the value of every cow or steer So,
and which was having some weight with
farmers, was pretty effectually refuted by
the secretary of the Chicago produce ex-
change yesterday before the senate commit
tee on agriculture. He showed con-
clusively that through the large inroads
made in the butter market by
oleomargarine each dairy cow had actually
decreased in value SO instead of increas-
ing. His statement also that he believed
95 per cent. of all oleomargarine was
sold fraudulently is entitled to great weight,
inasmach as the witness possesses excep-
tional facilities for arriving at correct con-
clusions regarding the business. Alto
gether, the purposes of the butterine max
ers were not very materially advanced by
yesterdays testimony, and for that the
producers of legitimate butter will fee |
little regret.
