Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1888-01-05
THE MINORITY REPORT.

The minority report submitted by
Robert Il. Pattison, chairman, differs
somewhat as to conclusions and en-
tirely as to the method of adjusting the
differences with tho railroad companies.
The following extracts will serve to indi-
cate PattlsoR's chief points: The
construction companies or inside
combinations that built five or six roads
have concealed or destroyed their books.
the exception being the Central branch,
and thecommission has been embarrassed
IN its work by the refusal Or failure of
the companies to produce accounts relat-
ing to the actual cost of construction or
TO EXHIBIT any paper or document that
would enable the commission to ascertain
the truth as to this most important factor
IN investigation. From the minutes
and accounts of rGilroad companies and
from the fragmentary information gath
cred from various sources il is disclosed
that the officers of at least three of these
companies made false statements under
oath in the affidsvits now on file in the
interior department The managers were
active trustees of the national Highway.
and they cannot plead any law
ful justification for making the false
atidavits, in which they state thasS9s,
s4o,O40 of stock was actually paid for,
when in fact less than two mIliiops had
been so paid for. Mr.. Huntington testi
lied before the commission that "Com
petition is killing" and that there ought
to be only one railroad for the whole
country. They combined with Others
TO TAX COMMUNITIES
which they served, and they forced the
classes in all sections of the
country to the payment of interest and
dividends on ficticous CT oital which
they had created. They increased the

Mr.. Pattison tken proceeds
TO ASK AND ANSWER TIE QUESTION

as to what the government should do.
The government, he says, occupies dual
relation to the bond aided railroad
sovereign and as creditor Involving
complications which would not otherwise
present themselves. A mere creditor
might assent to a compromise, or con
done a fraud, but this the government
cannot do. 1t cannot validate the iniaui-
tous wyrk of the Credit Mobilier and the
Contract and Finance company. He
argues that the. time for the payment of
the debts of the companies should not be
extended TO fifty years Or more as re-
commended by the majority OF the com
mission on the ground that none of the
companies, except the Union Pacific have
agreed TO or can accept those terms. The
bankruptcy of all the other companies
Is so complete au d irretrievable that no
part of their indebtedness can ever be re
covered by the government except by i'm
mediate fcompulsory legal process. E1-
tension of time for payment, therefore
means in reality but an increase Ct the
amount of the debt and the making of
its recovery the more hopeless:
He also recommends that suit be
brought against the
CREDIT MoBILTER
and all persons who have issued stocks
Or given pledges upon the property OF
the Union Pacific, without leave of con
gress; against others connected with the
consolidation of the Kansas Pacific.
Denver Pacific and Union Pacific, in
January, 1880, and against all persons
who have rendered themselves liable

Thew shoveIIed the snow Back.

Yesterday morning Mr.. ]. I. Stubs. the
art dealer, shovelled snow from huge bank
in front of his store into the street when the
management of the Horse Railroad ordered
him to stop. This Mr.. Stubs refused to do
and the Marshal and Street Commissioner
were notified. They told Mr.. Stubs II he
didn't stop shovelling the snow into the
street they would arrest him. Mr.. Stubbs
then desisted and Mr.. Staples summoned his
men and the snow was shoyelled back
again. Mr.. Stubs claims that the snow was
shovelled in front of his window by the rail-
road men from the street, and that when
they removed the snow from in front of Mil
let's store they also piled up lot more in
front of his store. He says the bank was
higher than his window and seriously dark
ened his store. Mr. Stubs says that he
doesn't feel like having anybody else's snow
in front of his store and probably the rail-
road company object to hauling snow from
their tracks twice for one storm.
On the other hand the authorities say the
snow was shovelled from the top OF his
store by Mr.. Stubs into the street for the
city authorities TO remove.

a sudden Death.

The schooner Abbie Deering, Capt Coffin.
entered the harbor yesterday morning, at Z
o'clock, with her flag at half mast and on
reaching Commercial wharf reported the
death of Peter Freeman, one of the crew.
Captain Coffin tells the following story OF
the death of Mr.. Freeman: "We were off the
Cape, bound in with fish, At z o'clock Mon
day night Freeman was relieved at the wheei
and went forward, lit his pipe and got into
his bunk. He smoked while and then laid
his pipe on the table. The men in the fore
castle heard him breathing heavily and went
to his berth and shook him. thinking he had
the nightmare. When they saw his face they
discovered that he was dying. After this he
gasped once or twice and then died. Mr..
Freeman was about 80 years old and has been
with us since last November. He boarded at
the Mariners House on Fore street and was
unmarried. He was good man, respected
and liked by all who knew him, and none
doubted his integrity. Coroner Gould was
called and said that in his opinion the de-
ceased died of heart disease"
Mr.. Freeman was Swedish seaman and
fisherman.
