THE BLOCKADE RAISED,
And Wheat Again Pouring Into
Minneapolis---The Northwestern
NFnvo"ant


The snow blockade has about been
raised, as far us the railroads are con-
cerned. and wheat is beginning to flow
freely into Minneapolis again. Some
of the country roads are not yet suffi-
GENTLY open for free hauling, but un-
less another storm should set in the
wheat receipts of Minneapolis will
make up for lost time. Prices. says
the Market Record. have been
high, compared with other places; and.
with good roads, a large volume will
flow until the gates are closed by drop.
During the month of January receipts
of wheat in Minneapolis have amounted
to 1,605, PSI bushels, against 1860, 900
bushels year ago. Duluth received
504, $50 bushels. against 947, 265 bushels a
year ago. making the combined move
ment from interior elevators smaller
than a year ago by 1,406,3 bushels for
the month. The shortage is the result
of blOckadeS, and will be made up now
if the roads can haul in the stuff offered.
After a thorough investigation it is
found that farmers deliveries of wheat
from granary have not eQualed the
movement from elevators, resulting in
small decrease in interior elevator
stocks. The principal cause of the light
farmers movement was the bad, roads
made so by the heavy drifting storms.
The surplus wheat in farmers hands
some 100000 buShelS-at the begin
ming of January was reduced about
100000 bushels during the month, as
there was a small movement in the
southern section that does not count in
the foregoing calculation. The railroads
are running through cuts of snow lend
ing to them the characteristic features
of SO many frozen canals. 4 moderate
storm would plug them full again, max
ing the possible forward movement still
question of much uncertainty.
The receipts in Minneapolis the last
two days are $40 cars. The amount
will probably exceed that rate with IA
vOrable weather. That will likely re-
duce elevator stocks in the interior, but
the farmers movement, having been
curtailed by storms, will now increase.
There are points now reporting no farm
deliveries because the elevators are full
and that as soon as they get room to re-
ceive, fair receipts will be turned in.
The demand from the Eastern mills will
be filed to some extent by sending an
average of some sixty cars daily from
interior elevators direct, OH the Milwau-
kee, st. Louis, Northwestern, and Oma-
ha roads, and some from the Manitoba
through the Minnesota Transfer, that
will not appear in either Minneapolis
reports of receipts or shipments. A
large amount is already sold to go out
that way and other sales are being ne
gOtiated. The whole will make, includ-
ing that reported in Minneapolis, some
100 ears daily Minneapolis grain men
Will send Eastern mills.

WouId Like to Have Him

Anent the unpleasant line of criticism
and attack that has been waged against
the board of health through the medium
of that self-cOnStituted body of public
ce insure yclept the board of trade,
Health Officer KilvingtOn requests the
publication of the following, which, it
is quite apparent, is moderately drawn
under the aggravating circumstances:
The exceptions that we take to the board
of trade resolutions are not to the committee,
but to the authority of said committee and
that if the honorable board of trade wishes
to do public service ii should first consider
what it wishes TO accomplish and how it
could be done with economy, and not be-
efforts in the same direction. If the
board of trade had appointed a committee to
meet with the board of health and investi-
gate what it had done and were attempting
to do and the laws under which the board of
health has been working it would soon see
of this same character that have
been rushed through from time to time
in question. The board of health would be
more than pleased to have the aid of so emf
nent a gentlemen as Prof. Folwelr assO-
ciated with it, and all good citizens VINO will
ervation OF the public health, and see no
need of any unpleasant feeling if each
boards rights are respected.
S. S. KILvlNeToN.
The above is in answer to COMMUNE
cation published in Minneapolis paper
yesterday over the signature of J.TNew-
ton Mind who, in arather doleful man
ner, asks that Prof. FOlwell be allowed,
or rather be asked. to act with theIbOard
of health in settling the local sewage
cOnundrum, involving proper sanitary
protection. 1t will be observed from
the tone of Health Officer Kilvington's
communication that he would be
pleased to- have Prof. FOlwell especially,
whose ability is not to he questioned,
and j. Newton Mind, or any other gen.
tlemen so disposed, to assist him in the
discharge of duties that are recognized
as very eXacting at the present time.

HEAD OF NAVIGATION,
With a Weekly Packet Plying Be-
tween Here and ST. Iouis.


Maj. John c. Reno was happier yes
terday than he has been since the DAYS
OF 81, when he was reused at peep o.
day by the shrill footing of steam
whistles on the boats at Cheever's land
ing. Only a few people know that
thirty years ago, when Minneapolis was
but a blushing hamlet. steamboats, ran
regularly up to the foot of Washington
street, but Capt. Reno is one of
them and yesterday he was
happy in anticipation of the
time when Minneapolis will once
more be the head OF navigation of the
Father of Waters. He was conveying
Capt. John B. Davis, of Rock Island,
the well known river man, about the
city, introducing him to capitalists.
Since the report of Maj. Allen, showing
the feasibility of again making the river
navigable to Minneapolis, Capt. Davis
has been looking forward to the time
when boats would be in demand. and
he is now here TO interest can
italists in the scheme of build
ing a line of steamboats, to pIy
between Minneapolis and st. Louis. He
proposes. with &. II. Deere. the Moline
pillow man, to build the first boat, large
fast steamer, at cost of $4,000, of
which amount he wishes TO raise half in
Minneapolis, S1S,500 TO by raised by June
l and the rest at per cent in six
months. The proposed boat will be
called the City OF Minneapolis. and will
be broad of beam and light of draft,
with stateroOm capacity for 27O peo-
pie. The boat will be 80 feet long. 4S
foot beam and 500 tons burden, and will
make the round trip to st. Louis
weekly.
The plan has excited considerable in
terest in Minneapolis, and Capt. Davis
Is meeting with much encouragement.
A meeting will probably be held within
afew days to discuss the matter.

YOUNG FREDDY"
Who Will Probably Postpone the
Barrett Trial.

The work of impaneling a jury in
the ease of the state against Peter Bar
rett is progressing rather slowly. The
special venire of 175 talesmen, although
taken mostly from among the farmers
living some distance from the city, is
two-thirds exhausted, and only seven
jurors have been secured. The names of
the jurors impaneled yesterday are
John Russell, William Lyons, George
Gagne, George Hohenstein and Joseph
Pepin. 1t is not thought possible that
the other five jurors can be obtained
from those remaining on the venire.
The crowd at the court house is as large
as it was during the trial of Timothy
Barrett, and deputy sheriff is sta
toned at the door and only admits
to the court room limited number of
spectators. Reddy Barrett's wife, who
is one of the most important witnesses
for the defense, is reported to have
given birth TO a child, and. unless she is
able 10 be present at the trial, a post
ponement will have to be taken.

A HEAVY SUIT
Involving 100000 Worth of
PrODerty on NicOIIet Avenue.

Judge Young is engaged in hearing
the case of Arson Northrup against the
heirs of Franklin Steele to decide the
ownership of a part of block IS of the
original plat of Minneapolis. The
property in dispute ON the cor
ner of Washington and Nicollet
avenues and is valued at $500, 900.
Northrap claims that in an early day he
decided certain property to a syndicate
composed of John H Stevens, Franklin
Steele and others in exchange for Ger
tain other property, among which was
the piece now in controversy, and that
he has never succeeded in OBJ
tanning all of the property which
he traded for. He says that just before
Mr.. Steele's death settlement of this
matter had been agreed on, but owing to
his sudden death it was not carried out,
hence he brings this action. Mr.. North
rup was a prominent character in the
early days of this city, and will be re-
membered by all old settlers as the pro-
prietOr of st. Charles hotel. A number
of old settlers are in attendance as wit
nesses in the case, among whom is NJ.

WATERED THE STOCK.
A Big Electric Light Suit, With
Others to Follow.

The Brush Electric Light company, of
Cleveland, o., has made application to
the district court to obtain an injunc-
ton to prevent the West Side Power
Electric company from meddling with
the affairs of the Minnesota Brush Elec-
trio Light company. The plaintiff
claims to be the owner of GER
tain valuable patents Oh ma
chinery for manufacturing electric
light, which it agreed to allow
the defendants to use for certain term
of years in consideration of the transfer
of 2,700 shares Of worcestershire stock in
the company to the aforesaid plaintiff.
and to allow it all the rights in the
management of the company enjoyed
by other stockholders. 1t is now
claimed by the plaintiff that the direct
Ors of the company have conspired
together under the name of the West
Side Power company for the purpose of
defrauding and freezing out the plant
iff from the company, in which it is
stakeholder, and wrecking the COM
pany. 1t is also claimed that the di-
rectOrs of the Minnesota Brush Electric
Light company have increased the

stock of said company to 5000, 900, al
though only $50, 100 has actually been
paid into the treasury of said company,
thereby greatly decreasing the value
of the stock owned by the plaintiff. 1t
is also alleged that the directors of said
company allow the West Side Power
company to use the poles, wires
and other appliances of the company,
although by so doing the COM
pany is put TO great expense in MAIN
doing claims have accumulated
against the company to the amount of
$10,Sl3, although the net profits for the
past year, according to the books,
amount to $50, 1856. This is probably
but fOrerunner of other legal docu-
mentS which will be filed in the matter.

ings be strictly enforced, and that side

much larger number than at pres
ent, it was decided TO make an energetic
and wholesale canvass of the ward,
Capt. Hunt promising to bring at cleast
twenty men for the next meeting.

manned obdurate in refusing to join,

worth in the year. but the majority of
North-siders thought well of the insti-
tuition and it promises to become quite
a power in the affairs of that part OF the
city.

TOO BAD.
n Fly-by-Night Sensation Probably
Ruined.

An evening paper showed its enter
prise yesterday by publishing re-
port that Tom Cody, 1.-The cowboy
pianist" employed at the Eden
Musee. had eloped with a cOlOred
girl named Nellie Saunders. Sew
eral lines of a stereotyped nature were
run in TO the effect that lit was the old
story of woman'S more than Weakness,
etc, etc.
However. the cowboy manipulation of
the notes has not elOped with the col
ored girl as stated. In fact, Miss
Saunders turned up at police
headquarters last evening, and
with wild-eyed establishment de-
MED the story that she had elOped.
She even said she had not seen the pi-
ano player in question, and didn't know
who he was. She had been at the resi-
dence of Miss Dickson. at 100 Ninth
avenue south, since Friday last.
1t has since TRANSFERRED that Cody has
probably run away with some Mexican
girl. His wife, 4 respectable woman, at
least claims TO think so, and his absence
frOm the city since Saturday would in
dictate that she is probably correct in
her theory
