CLEANED IN SALTWATER.
The Milwaukee Road Brings q
Peculiar Suit.


Late yesterday afternoon, the Chicago,
Milwaukee IL st. Paul Railway COM
pany, through its authorized attorney,
brought suit in the district court of
Washington county, on an agreement
claimed to have been made with that
corporation in July, 1881, by certain cit
izens of this city, but to which the trans
fer company, its creditors and receivers
are strangers. The contract, as claimed
by it, gave it the right to pass through
the city and to make connection with
the St Paul Il Duluth road. The suit is
supposed to have been brought
to prevent or delay the sale of the prop
erty of the Transfer company, which is
advertised to take place Monday. Hon.
j. n. SearleS, attorney for the Transfer
company, was seen yesterday regarding
the matter, and says that the agreement
was never performed by the Milwaukee
company, and was never binding upon
the Transfer company, and that the sale
will proceed as advertised. The Mil
waukee company has not occupied the
union station at this city since it was
opened to the public by the Omaha and
Duluth roads, claiming the performance
of the agreement on which it now sues.
The Transfer company refuses the de-
sired connection, it is understood, upon
the ground that it was never party
to any such agreement, and
that it would be a virtual surrender of
all its chartered rights in the premises
if such connection were granted. The
following gentlemen are made defend
ants in the suit just brought by the
Milwaukee company. Edward W.
Durant, Ernest l.. HOSpes, Dwight M.
Sabin, Roscoe f. Jersey, Isaac Staples,

fer company Joseph G. O'GOrman and

pure English, he did not want his pa

Striking Specimens Of Hitter

Street signs, always interesting to the
casual observer, become doubly attract
i've when some amateur painter essays
to put on board or fence his idea of
what will draw custom to firm. 1t
seldom happens that professional sign
painter will make any mistake beyond
the crowding of letters in half the space
usually intended for them, in which
cases they become skeletonized. and
their attenuation is like heightened
sweetness long drawn out. But it was
not to criticize the professional, but the
amateur display artist that a representa-
tive of the GLOBE started out the other
day and made tour of some of the
busiest hauntS of trade.
On Seventh street a modest black
board reared its height in front of we'll
known saloon, and in chalk letters, in
scribed by some ambitious artist, were
announced these tempting dainties:

Pies Kakes & so 4th.


This is reproduction of the wording
of the sign. but no one can form an idea
of its uniqueness without personal in
spection of the original and the lofty dis
dain of the artist for capitals or punctu-
alton.
Italians, always anxious to an
nounce to passers-by the tempting
nature of the wares in their Sx1O com
partments, denominated shops by
courtesy, are very prone to be mig
gardly in putting words on their signs,
evidently afraid Of too many letters
spelling the chances of a sale as well as
the general effect.
Such must have been the idea of a
Wabasha street vender, whose princi-
pal stock was displayed in a window,
and in the center was a piece of white
card board attached to slender stick.

luscious, juicy products of the sub

The Strikers Win.

Boston, April 21.-After bitter
struggle of more than years duration,
the lockout of the granite cutters has
been declared at an end, the manufac-
turers having agreed to pay the same
bill of prices they were paying previous
to the lockout. The granite manufac
turers wished to have the members of
the Boston branch of the Granite Cut
ters' National union accept 10 per
cent reduction and an increase in the
length of the days work. These de-
mands the members of the union re-
fused to accede to, the result being the
lockout.

Nothing more, nothing less, and GUS

Chicago Bakers Will Strike.

CHICAGO, April 21.-To-morrow morn
ing 400 Of the 1,7OO bakers in Chicago
60 on strike. This at least was the de-
cisiOn reached by the leaders this aft
ernoon and ratified at meeting Of the
men tonight, about 600 being present.
Among the speakers at the evening
meeting were the socialist agitators,
Curnlin and Morgan. All the bakers
unions in the city are involved, and
their membership takes in all but 800
of the total number of workmen. The
cause of the strike is practically the
same as in the case of the brewers-a
refusal of the bosses to recognize the
union.

Whether the proprietor is adverse to

One result of the trip was the OBJ
servation that the more illiterate the
artist, the more letters there would be
in the spelling and upon the signs.

the Age of Thirty Years.
NEW YORK, April 21.-Dexter, the
famous trotter, died this morning at the
stable of Robert Bonner in this city.
He was just thirty years old. He died
of old age and exhaustion.
Dexter's great record of 2:17I, which
stood as the best for many years, was
made at Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. ii, 1867.
He was trotting to beat 2:19%. He
made the first heat in 2:211z, and in the
second he flew around the track like the
wind without skip, coming under the
wire in 2:17I, winning a stake of So, 100.
Shortly after this he was purchased by
Robert Bonner and taken from the
turf Dexter was nine years old when
he trotted his fastest mile. He was a

The Battle Of MonOcacy.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE The following
is a brief sketch of the battle of MonoCacy,
Md, July 8, 1864, and of the part taken therein
by the regiment to which the writer belonged.
Arriving by rail near the junction late on the
evening of the Sth, we disembarked and
speedily went into bivouac IN an old pasture
north of the railroad. Comrade McKinnon,
in letter to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE some
time ago. speaks of the absence of two or three
companies of our regiment at this battle, and
such may have been the case, for aught the
writer knows to the contrary; but l know to
certainty that the major part of the regiment
on the ground at least II hours prior to
the opening of the engagement, and were
among the first to take position in line of battle
on the following morning. At a. m. of the
9th we were still north of the railroad, and our
Commissary was about to begin the distribution
of rations, when the order came to fall in.
We did not forsake our bareback and SOW
belly" however, but carried them with us,
and crossing the railroad and river halted in a
large open field and were busily engaged in
replenishing our empty hayersacks when the
first shot was fired. We held our position here
until 800 p. m. when Gordon's flank move
ment compelled us to retire. My company
went into the action with 60 men in ranks and
our loss was 81 in killed, wounded and miss
ing-the latter mostly prisoneTs.-W. L. GARD

The Ia Ind.,s Snber Charge.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / noticed in
your paper few weeks ago a communication
from member of a cavalry regiment, in which
he said the 18th Ind. was not armed with
sabers and that they never made saber charge.
Cos. e, G, III and were armed with sabers and
Spencer carbines.
Let us go back to the Spring of 1865 and fol-
low the cavalry command under Gen. James
ii. Wilson that started south from Gravelly
Springs, Ala, March Is, and on April l, at
Bogus Creek, or Plantersville, Ala, met Forrest
strongly posted, and did not want to be driven
any farther. After a great deal of skirmishing
the four saber companies of the nth Ind. were
ordered to the frontand put in charge of Lieut.
Col. White, with orders to clear the front of
rebel skirmishers. They advanced by fours
and struck Patterson's regiment, running past
them, and struck Forests main line, cutting
through that, and ran against a second line,
when Col White turned to the left and cut his
way out, with the loss of nearly all of Co. G..
Capt. Taylor, not hearing the orders to fall
back, kept on and struck Gen. Forrest and his
staff, Capt. Taylor striking Gen. Forrest twice
with his saber, when one of Forests staff shot
him. By this time the balance of the brigade
had formed on foot advanced, and completed
the rout of Forests command, when they re-
treated to Selma. We bivouacked on the field
l write this simply to show that the 18th Ind
did make one saber CHARGE. ]. WELLER
