SABIN Is IN The SADDLE.
Formal Transfer Of the Northwestern
Car Company's Effects.
BROWN FIRES HIS EMPLOYEES.
Mr.. Sabin Returns to Washington.
Resignation Of a County Co-l-
missioner.

The formal transfer of the property
and effects of the late Northwestern
Manufacturing and Car company to the
Minnesota Thresher Manufacturing
company was made yesterday afternoon
at Saltwater, the parties interested
meeting at the court house, where the
necessary transfer papers we're signed.
The new company is now in actual pos
session and will begin taking an in
ventOry to-day. At 4:30 p. m. the new
owners took formal possession of their
property, with w. S. Goodhue as as
slStant general manager. Receiver E.
5. Brown posted an order on his bull
letin board last evening saying that he
should have no further use for the office
or field force, and they will accordingly
take the grand bounce. The force of
operatives at the works are all continued
at work and it is expected that as soon
as possible it will be largely augmented
a large retrenchment will at once be
made in the Office force, while the field
force will be recruited with the best
men which the country affords. The
full purchase price demanded by the
terms of the sale has been paid. and all
the provisions of the sale complied with,
so that the Minnesota ThreSher Manu-
featuring company can now step on
deck hampered by no legal restrictions
1t has an abundant working capital, and
will operate its property for business
purposes. Senator Sabin left for Wash
lngtOn last evening, accompanied by the
Eastern capitalists who were here with
him, and who are so largely interested
in the new company. The senator
felt cOmmendable degree of satisfac-
ton at the happy termination of all his
business difficulties, and the end of the
discOuraging litigation which has so an
noyed him for the past four years. The
interests of the great concern were, he
said, now in safe hands and he could
resume his senatorial duties with a
mind free from care and anxiety. The
feeling of satisfaction over the result is
shared by the citizens generally.
The county commissioners concluded
their business yesterday and adjourned.
The principal business transacted was
the auditing of bills and general routine
work. Just before final adjournment,
A. X. Doe, chairman, rendered his resig-
nation as. commissioner, which was
accepted. The reason for his reSigna-
ton lies in the fact of his change of
residence. Having purchased the Saw
yer, he will hereafter be located there,
which is out of the commissioner dis
trict from which he was elected. Under
the present law the city council will he
obliged to select his successor. The re-
naming members of the board pre-
sented Mr.. Doe with a gold-headed cane,
properly engraved, as testimonial of
his worth.
