Fast Maine Horses Competing for
Purses and Fame.
Heroiight Handicapped by His Wild
Dash at Mystic.
Premiums Awarded at the Fair az
Pleasant Hill.

The last day of the fair at Pleasant Hill
grounds was pleasant one, though too cold
for outdoor sports. There was quite large
attendance, including many ladies who
graced the grand stand during the afternoon
races.
The trotting did not quite come up to the
usual standard, nor were the races as inter-
esting as thouse of Wednesday. Some of
the horses. nevertheless, behaved very nicely
and gave their drivers little effort in sending
them around the track. Among the horses
which made good showing were the Doctor,
Kite, Rodger D., and Gray Eagle.
The races resulted as follows:

been reached. Mr.. Harold Marsh Sewall,
the American consul general at Apis, has
been in Washington for several days with

the President and Secretary Bayard. Mr..
Sewall has brought with him deal Of inter-

opinion Of high officials that the action Of the
German government in sustaining the rebel

the part of Prince Bismarck Of the purpose

and the right to establish and maintain the
coaling and repair station for the use Of YES

was accepted by the Hawaiian government.

The Chief JustIceshIp.

An event which has happened but seven
times in the history of the nation will be re-
peated next Monday. when the eighth Chief
Justice of the United States will be sworn
into Office. On that day Melville W. Fuller
will take the two oaths prescribed by law.
He will be the second Democrat who has
filed the office. The period which has
ELAPSED since Roger b. Taney was sworn in
is 80 years.
It was in 1886 and during the last year Of
President Jackson's second term that Mr..
Taney became Chief Justice, succeeding the
ilmstrious John Marshall. There are prob
ablv but very. very few members of the Bar
Of the Supreme Court of the United States Of
that day living today. The ceremonies of
Induction into the office are very simple.
The law requires the Chief Justice to take
two oaths.

profit in the civil, military or naval service.
except the President, is required to take.
The second oath is the one originally pre-
scribed and taken by all the Chief Justices

FER0 US FALLS WANTS THE ROAD.
The FerRs Falls Journal in an arti-
Gle on the Minnesota & Northern says:
The secretary's report showed that
the work done last fall consisted of the
completion of the survey thirty five
miles northward from Worthington to
Tracy, and the securing of the right of
way for most of that distance. More
would have been accomplished If the
early arrival of cold weather had not
stopped further operations for the sea-
son. The directors proposed to take
hold again Immediately and push the
work forward.
The plan, in brief, is to make the sur
veys and secure the right of way along
the route, and bonuses from such
towns rs become interested, and then
get the road ironed and put into opera
tion by one of the several railroad com.
panies whose lines now either reach or
run near to Worthington-among them
the Burlington, the Illinois Central
and the Wabash system. Back of all
this is the nucleus of still larger pro-
ject. which includes the building of a
north and south road from tho Gulf OF
Mexico to the northern boundary Of
the United States. and which is 4 sub
ject Of deep interest to a number of the
heaviest capitalists of Kansas City and
other more southerly cities. This part
of the project. however. is not of i'm.
mediate probability and is better idea
to 81 pecual*te upon and talk about than
to actually carry out at present. and
the directors do not include it in their
plans except as possibility; but the
road from Worthington to Fergus
seems more hopeful. The secretary's
report showed nearly $4,000 already
voted or about to be voted by the small
towns near WorthingtOn.
Such road would be of immense value
to Fergus Falls, and il there is any pos
sibility of its building there will be no
citizens of this place who will oppose
it in any way; only there probably will
be no more bonds voted-not this year
ut least-simply to pay for surveying
any railroad. without any promises on
the part of the company as to whether
it shall be put into actual operation or
not. The project is certainly feasible
one, and deserves all reasonable en-
couragement.
