ANOTHER BLOCKADE.
The Relief Train Almost Reaches

The Relief Train Almost Reaches
Browns Valley and is Again
Showed In.
Special to the Globe.
Browns VALLEY, Mimi. Jan. 60
Expectancy is high to-day anticipating
the arrival of a train with fuel and
groceries. Ere noon it had reached the
cut east of Beardsley, ten miles from
US. The wind this afternoon was con-
stantly increasing and this evening
it is drifting up ele snow
at brisk rate. This locks
the train again and deepens the shadow.
Several farmers in town to-day have
greatly removed a general anxiety about
distress in the country. By their re-
port, however. famine of fuel is pend
ing unless relief is immediate. State
mentS of some officials from the agency
respecting the distress of the SiSsetOn
families is not satisfactory to your cor
respondent. When approached upon
the subject they appear reticent, report
ing suffering, but not very extensive or
alarming. The missionary minister To-
Gated at the agency, white man of I'M
questionable integrity, and who makes
it personal duty to visit needy ones,
AYERS that since his residence of about
twenty years among the Sioux he never
saw so widespread distress among them
as during this severe winter. Tina evil
denceS indicate that many families are
sick and very destitute.

Rather Indiscreet.
Special to the Globe.


MANKATO, Mimi, Jan. 26.-May
Voolfolk, who with Belle Lockerby and
the two young men, Walraven and Des-
mond, were engaged in the notorious
saloon affair, as published in the GLOBE
of yesterday, again created considerable
excitement in the municipal court last
night by making complaint against one
Goodrich, of Wells, charging him with
seduction under promise of marriage.
1t seems that May, while on a visit to
Wells some months since, made an I'M
preston upon Goodrich, who was at
that time hotel clerk, and who since
then has carried on correspondence
with the girl. They recently visited Eas-
ton together, passing as man and wife,
and after returning to this city still con-
tinued to represent themselves to her
friends as man and wife. Yesterday,
thinking he was about to get away, she
caused his arrest upon the charge
named, and they were married by Judge
Porter in the municipal court at a late
hour last night. Out of respect to leap
year Chief Fowler gave the groom
away. The bride comes of very re-
spectacle family here, but her conduct
for some time past has been rather in

HENRY CLAY CLUR.

This Republican club met last night and
admitted twenty-odd members. The meet
ing was largely attended and harmonious
throughout.
The principal subject of interest dis
cussed was letter from Senator ingalls, to
State Senator Kelly, asking how the tenn
perance people stood upon repeating the
internal revenue taxes on whisky, beer
and tobacco. Senator Kelly thought that
the subject was of sufficient political
gravity to lay it before the club, especially
as very considerable number of its mem
bers are strong temperance Republicans.
After considerable debate upon the matter
it was deferred to the meeting on Monday
next. Enough was elected however, in
the debate to show a strong feeling in
favor of repeating all internal revenue
taxes and RELOCATING the matter back
to the state governments to deal with as
they deem best. As one OF the debaters
put tit is a war measure of the Repub-
lican party. AS long as the national gov
eminent collects this tax the state govern
ments cannot collect it. As there need be
no circumlocution of any sort to refund 1t
by educational or division bills back to the
people of the states if it be, as it ought to
be, left with them in che first instance. 1t
was only Democratic subterfu2e in their
hiding behind the internal revenue ques-
ton, under the banner of assumed moral
itv. in order to asSail the tariff in the IN
terest of free trade 1t is but yesterday

CESAR TIBEKIUS.

The third lecture of Dean Adams on
THE Caesars and Christianity" called out
a crowded church. The way in which the
dean handles these themes shows how he
has saturated himself, so to speak, with
the facts of this probably the most inter
esting period of human history. He does
not neglect the Caesars wives. His refer
ences to Scribonia and portrayal of the
character of the abominable Livise, wife of
Caesar Augustus and mother, by a former
husband, of Tiberius, was realistic and
mastery, as was also his painting of the
two Caesars. 1t has been surpassed by
nothing in the course of the lectures, I'M
less it may have been by the thinning of the
character of the great Julius. The dean
at the close of this lecture said that if he
had been successful in giving an idea of the
time of the life of Christ he had been sue
cessful in his undertaking. He closed by
saying that the empire founded and per-
Jected by julius, Augustus and Tiberius,
has faded away is memory. In England
the remains of an old Roman wall is found,
a footprint of the mighty men OF the olden
day in Messopotamia, few remains in the
valley of the Nile, a stone In the frozen
North, the Pantheon-some fragments be-
sides in Rome-which hints at the extent
and power of that empire only initiate the
student of antiquity. How different with
