SAID BY MIR. RICE.
The Idea of Hon. III. NJ. Rice on
TWin.CitY Union.

To the Editor of the Globe:
What L intended to say at the meet
ing last evening to discuss the union of
the two cities, was: That in 1850 Capt
John Rollins. of st. Anthony, there was
no Minneapolis them suggested the
building of a steamboat to run from the
falls to Sank Rapids, and to carry out
the enterprise he called upon the citi-
ZenS of st. Paul for aid, which was
cheerfully given. A company was
formed and the first meeting was held
i'll my office in this city; the money was
first steamer built in Minnesota. ana we
named it in honor of our first governor,
''GOv. Ramsey" 1t was not failure,
but ran for several years between the
falls and Sank Rapids. My object was
to show that the citizens of st. Paul and
what is now Minneapolis were willing
in early days to cooperate in an enter
prise beneficial to each, and which
could not be carried to a successful issue
without this unity of action.
After waiting so many years, L was
pleased to see the citizens of the two
cities again meeting for their common
good, and to discuss the mutual benefits
which must result from an alliance of
their individual powers.
l said that we must unite for our own
protection, calling attention to the fact
that Duluth had at her door iron, wood
and cheap fuel; that
SHE COULD COMPETE
with us in manufacturing industries;
that as distributing point her position
was equal to our OWN, and that within
five years she would have as many rail-
roads as we now have. There are now
completed six or seven railroads to the
head of the lake, and by this mornings
papers we see that another will be
built during the coming season, from
Hinckley to that point, and l have no
doubt but that one or more main lines
will reach there before the close of the
present year. The announcement is
also made that freight will be taken
from Buffalo by water to Duluth at as
falO to Gladstone.
| would not advocate a policy other
than that of Self-prOtection. In connec-
ton with manufactures, L said it would
be necessary to duplicate the Minneapo-
lis water power by utilizing that at
Meeker's island. [ thought that we
should agree upon name, but let each
municipality remain as at present, one
known as the Minneapolis division, and
the other as the st. Paul division, or any
other designation upon which they may
agree. look upon Duluth as our best
friend in shielding us from. the encrOach-
ments of the Chicago system.
My property, my pride is in st. Paul,
and it the union of the two cities can be
eonsummated, know that our Suprem-
acy can be easily maintained, and am
confident that within ten years one
million of people Will be embraced
within our limits. An attempt to con-
ceal from ourselves the strength of our
neighborS is unworthy of the citizens of
the assured metropolis of the North
west. HENRY M. RICE.

The Holsters Club.

A meeting was held at the Merchants
last evening by number of gentlemen
formerly from Indiana for the purpose
Of forming the Hoosier club, designed
to furnish social enjoyment for its MEM
bers and provide for the entertainment
of visitors from their native state with a
view to inducing them to remain per-
manently in st. Paul. After a thor
0ugh discussion of the objects sought to
be attained, the following officers were
elected: President, ST. Johnson; vice
president, r. ROssum; secretary. j. F.
George; treasurer; William Bickel :;
chaplain, Rev. W. A. Foster; sergeant
alarms, DR.. B. Fry, and executive com

ARMY NOTES.
Second Lieut.. David l.. Brainard,
Anna Chase at Walla Walla, Washing
ton Territory, OH the 18th inst.
The president has commissioned the
ten nOn-commiSSioned officers who
have been waiting so long for their
SheepSkiES.
The superintendent of the general
recruiting service has be ell ordered to
prepare and forward to Omaha, Neb.,
thirty-five recruits for assignment to the
Twenty first infantry.
Information received from Washing
ton indicates that the bill just intro
duced by Senator Plumb, of Kansas. for
the relief First Lieut.. Stephen O'Con-
nor, of the Twenty-third infantry, will
promptly pass, as the canvass OF both
houses in regard to it develops decidedly
favorable criticism. The bill provides
for the appointing of the officer first
lieutenant to date Jan. 4, 1869, the date
of his original appointment to that
grade. On the consolidation of the army
in 1869 Lieut.. O'Connor became, like
many others, Supernumerary offer, i'll
May of that year his status being "un-
assigned" In June, 1877, he was APP
pointed second lieutenant in the regi-
ment, but, the senate failing to confirm
the appointment, his commission eX-
PRED by congressional limitation. He
was reappointed, however, a second
lieutenant in February, 1878. He is now
serving as first lieutenant, having been
regularly promoted April l, 1856. The
passage of the bill will advance Lieut..
O'ConnOr about 260 files, and probably
give him captainey befoIe the close of
the year. 1t is full of interest to large
number of army officers similarly Situ-
ated, and who are keenly watching the
fate of the bill.

Lookout

The Unfortunate Girl Who Threw
Herself Over the Bluff Near the
Lookout.
Without regaining consciousness or
making any sign or move, Annie
HaZuka, the young woman who was
found at the foot of the bluff back of
the Summit avenue lookout with a
fractured skull Wednesday night, died
at 80 O'clock yesterday afternoon.
Her mother and stepfather, who live
at No. 302 Colborne street, called at the
city hospital, where the body lay last
night, and wanted to take charge of the
remains. Coroner Quinn has not yet
decided whether an inquest will be held,
and the bodywill remain where it is
until he does. She had been employed
as domestic in the family of
Mr.. Cornish, on Dayton avenue.
Wednesday afternoon she called on two
Servant-girl friends in the neighborhOod,
and it is said she acted strangely. When
she was picked up the neck Of a broken
bottle was found in the pocket of her
dress, which is now in the possession of
Capt. Lowell, of the RondO street pre-
cinct. A portion of what the bottle con-
taintained, which is sticky substance,
still clings 10 the broken glass, and an
analysis will be made to ascertain if it

THAT DANGEROUS BRIDGE.
Two Plans for a Remedy to be
Submitted to the Council,

Two Plans for a Remedy to be
Submitted to the Council.
The matter of reconstructing the
WabaSha street bridge was before the
council committee on streets last night.
with the engineers recommendations
that travel over the bridge be restricted
until the long span has been replaced.
The committee decided to report the
recommendation favorably to the
council, and the engineer was instructed
TO draw plans Tor reconStructing the
bridge and present them to the council
for action. Aid. Bryant, of the West
side, advocated increasing the width of
the bridge to sixty feet. City Attorney
Murray thought if the main pier Oh the
east side should be set little further
out in the river channel and the railroad
companies given the right of way of
another track, the companies would be
willing to pay $4,000 toward the cost OF
reconstruction. Engineer Rundlett will
probably send two plans to the council,
one for replacing the long span of the
bridge, which will cost about S25 900,
and one for reconStructing the entire
bridge, piers and all, which will involve
all expenditure of considerably more
than 100000. This work would occupy
the entire season and stop travel over
the bridge for two or three months.

The watchman on duty at the Ryan
hotel early yesterday morning heard
grOanS issuing from the apartment Oc-
cupied by Il young man who registered
about week ago as L. c. Arnold, of
New York. A step ladder was secured,
and looking over the transOm, the
occupant of the room was dis
covered upon the floor as If
in agony. An entrance was
effected and a physician summoned,
who found traces of narcotic poisoning,
and an examination disclosed that the
guest had taken a large dose of pow
dered opium. All that medical Skill
could do was done for the unfortunate
man, but he never rallied, and died
about 9 o'clock. \ note left upon the
waShstand in the room stated that
Arnold was an assumed name
Snd that his proper name was L.
Z. Berth. and that he was son of an
employee OF the GOrham Manufacturing
company. whose main Office was at No.
- Broadway. New York City. In the
same communication the writer apol-
OgiZed for any trouble or annoyance
that he might cause the proprietor of
the Ryan. and gave as a reason for his
rash act that he was Respondent as to
his future. Among his effects were
found Il number OF clippings from
newspapers and book entitled
Mr.. NicOurs MisadventureS," by
a we'll known peSsimist, and all
treating of the worst phases of life,
showing that the deceased had cult
waited a peculiar line of reading and
study Information of the affair was
communicated to the father of the de-
ceased. and late in the day telegram
was received directing that the remains
should be placed in vault here to await
final disposition by the family. The
body was subsequently turned over to
undertakerS Mccarthy q Donnelly, no
inquest being deemed necessary.
II vas about week ago that young
Berth came to the Ryan. and his bag
gage was sufficient to justify bis reten-
ton of a room without bill being pre-
sented. so that nothing is known as to
his financial condition at the time of his
suicide. He was quiet and did not
make friends with the other guests, but
spent great deal of his time reading
in his room.

ODDS AND ENDS,


A little storm was threatened at the
mayors Office the other day, while the
meeting was IN session considering the
organization of an athletic park ass6-
citation. AT a previous meeting a com
mittee had been appointed TO ascertain
what a certain piece OF ground on the
West side could be purchased for. Mr..
Lawton, West side real estate dealer
and banker, was made one OF the COM
mittee because it was thought he was
posted on prices and could secure the
best terms. Mr.. Lawton was apparently
full of all eagerneSs and zeal for the
success of the organization. The piece
of ground in question was i'll the lists of
Mr.. WilguS, another real estate dealer.
Mr.. LawtOn was deputized by
the committee to negotiate with
Mr.. Wilgus and reported back
that the ground could be purchased for
$2S,000. 1t happened that another mcm-
Der of the committee had talked with
Mr.. Wilgus. and Mr.. Wilgus had told
him the price was $4,000. At the meet
ing for the preliminary organization
Thursday afternoon Mr.. WilguS was
one OF the first to come. Then it was
that the storm was threatened. Mr..
IawtOn did not come, and that is how
the big storm came to blow over.
Mr. Lawton's zeal seemed to have died
out, but some explanations being neces-
sary, Mr.. Lawton sent fOur-page let
ter 1t came just in the middle of the
meeting and was addressed to Chairman
Cory, with the request that it be read.
Secretary Horace Dunno read it, and it
contained very vigorous language. Mr..
LawtOn set forth that Mr.. Wilgus had
given him one price on the ground and
had given lower figure to another
member of the committee, and wound
up with thd flat statement that he con-
Sidered Mr.. WilguS had acted in an
unjust and ungentlemanly manner"
MI: WilguS was on his feet before the
reading of the letter was finished, and
declared: "If he had left out some things
L might not have taken any exception
to that, but as he sees fit to blackguard
me, may conclude to show up black
and white. [ will state to the meeting
that when you want that property you
will get it for $4,000, and l will further
state that that is the only price l ever
gave to any one. | can produce wit
nesses to all my conversations with Mr..
LaWtOn, If necessary" This seemed to
satisfy the gentlemen present, land when
Mr.. Wilgus sat down it was just as if
nothing had happened. But it is said
that Mr.. Lawton will not be one of the
stockholders i'll the new association.

BRIGHT FOR HIS AGE.
Little Joseph Taaper, Who Does
Not Show Many OF Washington's
Traits

OOoSPA AeSSAEtS w ho 1IoCS
Not Show Many OF Washington's
Traits.
Little Joseph Taaper. a nine-year-
old who lives at 81 Merrill street,
can go On record as one of the most
artistic liars of his age in America.
Joseph ran away from the German
Catholic parochIal school on Ninth and
Exchange streets Friday morning. At
IL O'Clock last night he was picked up by
trudging along with his slate under his
arm, and apparently in a happy frame
of mind. He was sent to the Margaret
street station to stay over night, and
yesterday morning Capt. Hanft turned
him over to Agent Hutchins, of the Re-
lief society, being unable to find out
where he lived. Agent Hutchins talked
with Joseph, and the little runaway
said his home was at McCarron lake,
four miles north Of the city. Agent
Hutchins drove out there with the boy,
and inquiring among people living in
the vicinity did not find any informa-
ton of missing boy. After three hours
searching the little fellow broke into a
smile and said he had forgotten to tell
Mr.. Hutchlns before, but his parents
were both dead. The eXasperated good
man drove back to the city revolving in
his mind what he should do next, and
when he reached the corner of Rice
street and Summit avenue woman
rushed out into the slush of the street
towards his sleigh, crying 'Joseph, my
Joseph" 1t was JOSeph'S mother, and
she and her husband had been search
ing everywhere to get trace OF their
prevaricating son. She cried as she
clasped him in her arms. but Joseph

A GOOD FIGURE ASKED.
Bids For the Reform School
Property to be Opened To-Day.

BIUS For the Ne1Ofm School
Property to be Opened To-Day.
The board of managers of the state
reform school will hold special meet
ing at the Office of T. A. Hushar, one of
the managers, at Minneapolis this after
noon, to open bids on the sale of the
reform school property at Midway.
President Murray. of the board of
managers, said yesterday in an inter-
view that it was doubtful whether any
bid of less than S250,00G would be ac-
cepted, for the reason that the Red
Wing people had openly charged that
Manager Petit and himself were inter
ested in making money in a syndicate
for the purchase of the property. AS
he bought the property for the state,
and has parental pride in the institll-
ton, he does not propose, he says,
to sacrifice the interests of the
state or the school in taking one cent
less than what real estate men say the
property IS worth; and while this is
true, if his friends at Red Wing will
only be little patient they will find
that both Mr.. Petit and himself are en-
tirely loyal to Red Wing. The opposi-
ton to Gov. McGiil at Red Wing for the
reason that he thought proper to re-
appoint Mr.. Petit, Mr.. Murray says is
simply all outrage, and if made a cues
ton as to the governors renomina--
ton, will do more good than harm.

Water to Rescue a Drowning
Man
Officer Bob Grady, on the levee beat,
saw man fall from the pier of the ST.
Paul Il st. Louis Packet line into the
open river below, about O'Clock last
night. The officer threw off his coat
and jumped in after the drowning man,
riSking his own life to save the other.
He succeeded i'll pulling the man to
shore, and revived him with a dose of
brandy. The patrol was called, and
officer and man were brought to the
Central station, both dripping wet. AT
the station the stranger said his name
was Martin Guinness, labOrer en-
plOyed in the Minnesota Il Northwest
ern railroad shops. He lives ON Con-
cord street, and wandered down on the
pier last night while intoxicated, eX-
pecting to take the motor to the West
side. He got too near the edge, and
misStep sent him over. The heroic
officer, after delivering Guinness at the
station, went home to change his cloth
ing, and was back on his beat again in
less than an hour.
