The Tally.Sheet Foreers.

COLUMBUS, Feb. 13.-The hearing in
the tally-sheet forgery cases adjourned
early to-day owing to the unavoidable
absence of witnesses. There were three
persons examined. W. w. Wickham
testified that on the night of Feb. he
saw Isaac r. Hill at the union depot i'll
this city in close consultation with two
of the Montgomerys, one of whom is the
defendant in this case. This is the first
evidence had that Hill has been in the
vicinity of Columbus recently. Capt. j.
G. Donaldson, of Washington, d. c.,
gave an account of wager he had
made in Columbus with him on Sunday
night, when the former is supposed to
have been committed in 1885. This was
on the standing of the legislature-Hill
claiming there was one, Donaldson that
there were three Republican majority.
He also saw Hill in consultation with
Martin on that night. Prof. G. q How
ard testified to the effects of nitric acid
on paper, and made the point that the
result would be about the same as that
which is claimed by the prosecution in
the case and that the paper Wauld turn
yellow after time.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. ia check
for SIG was presented at Hall Bros.
bank some weeks ago, signed by G. III.
Opel, and payable to p. A. Sayer. The
money was paid without hesitation. as
the signature was perfectly executed. A
short time afterwards Hall Bros. cashed a
second for the same man for 50, bearing
the signature of j. L. Moulton, we'll
known elevator builder of Chicago, who
has done an extensive business in Du-
luth. This check was payable to A. l..
Saunders. The festive crook, flushed
with success, then turned his attention
to Bell & oysters bank, where. he
obtained money on three checks at
different times. These checks were
to John Adams, A. Johnson and George
Brown for sums of S32.20, S31.95 and
S34.57 respectively. In short time
after the presentation of the last check
this mysterious individual appeared for
the fourth time with check for pay
ment. This time the cashier asked for
Identification, and the man, evidently
knowing that he was suspected, quickly
disappeared, and has not been seen
since. A good description of him has
not been obtained, as little attention
had been paid him. SO well manipulated
was the deal, but the police are conf
dent that the forger will be arrested in
day or two.
NEW BLAST FURNACE.
Tomorrow morning men will begin
work clearing the ground and preparing

FILED ARTICLES.
The Duluth, Northwestern & Winni-
peg railroad filed its articles with
County Register Burke to-day. 1t has

the line is to be surveyed to put off COM
mencement of operations until spring.
Persons with m oney to invest will do well

ground, and he gave notice that he
would enjoin the cable company. He
claimed that the parties running that
train were guilty of moral murder.
Mr.. Cochran believed the Summit
avenue crossing the worst one i'll the
country, and believed the damages for
the improvement should be paid, and
that the damages to MeSsrs. kittSon,
Wilder and others would be from Is to
% per cent. He expressed his willing
ness to pay his assessments for the I'M.
provement, and thought the people of
Summit avenue had a right to COM
plain. He decidedly favored the line
from Nina avenue to Third street and
urged that the tunnel be proceeded
with.
Mr.. IIodgs0n charged the people of
St. Paul with bowling in an unreaSona-
bic manner for the completion of the
cable line, and now that the line was
completed they began to howl again to
have it changed, and declared that the
cry of danger was pure rot, and that
there was no more danger in crossing
the avenue at that point than there was
at any other crossing in the city. Sew
eral of the gentlemen in the chamber
were good excited by these remarks,
and MeSsrS. Oppenheim, Cochran and
others began TO catechlSe him IN a
pretty sharp manner.
Col. James I'll. Davidson made state
ment in which he related some very
dangerous experiences he had had on
the track, and vigorously denied Mr..
Hodgson's charge that the people
howled. The people howled to have
the contractor fulfill the terms OF his
contract and do as he agreed to by com
pleting the road, and that they had a
right to do. They hOwled to have the
ear company do its duty and put COM
petent men on the grip car instead of
putting on incapable men. That was
what che people hOwled for, and they
had right to howl.
Gen. Bishop argued for delay, deliber-
alton and calmneSS The matter was an
important one and ought to be treated
carefully. The suggestions made by the
city engineer were serious and ought to
be considered fully. The matter was
finally laid over and made the SpeciA
order for next Monday.

WAvERLY, To-, Feb. 13.-The grand
jury adjourned this afternoon, having
finished their investigation of the Bill
lings case. 1t is presumed they will
render the decision of their investiga-

last two or three days Billings attor-
neys have been circulating a petition
for change of venue, and have secured
about a dozen names, the most promi-
nent of the signerS being the president
of the Temperance alliance Ct this
place. The hard feeling that is reported
to exist against Billings is not confined
to Bremen county alone, and should he
be indicted for murder he could get as
fair trial at home as abroad. Billings
attorneys have almost acknowledged
that it will be impossible for them to Sc
cure change of venue for their client.
and express themselves willing to 60 OH

willing. The people of Waverly and

for the result of the investigation, and

EAU CLAIRE. Wis, Feb. 13.-When
the railroad idemnity lands were opened
to settlement by Lamar, and the lum-
bermen who had bought them before
the railroads had title were trembling,
Frederick Weyerhaeuser put up &c., 600
at the United States land Office here to
cover the idemnity lands he had bought
and to which he proposed to make title
good by buying of the government
under the famous chapter 1854, statutes
of 1887, which allowed good-faith pur-
chasers from railroads to thus perfect
title and which was claimed to be only
for the benefit of settlers and home
seekers. To-day, the lands having been
patented to the railroads, MIR. Weyer-
haeuser called at the land Office and re-
ceived back the balance of his money,
part having been previously withdrawn
by him.

The dotted line marked ''first" is the
hrSt proposed cat. 1t commences down
not more than 200 feet west of Summit
and strikes the grade at Third street.
This gives grade of II feet per JOG, OF
IL per cent, and cut OIL the west side
of Selby avenue of about 16 feet, and 20
feet on the east side. 1t is just 100 feet
across Summit avenue and about AGO
feet from Summit down to the COM
mencement of the curve at Third street.
The dotted line marked second is the
second proposed grade. 1t starts at
Nina avenue and runs on direct grade
to Third street, which would give a
grade of six feet per hundred, or per
cent. This would make all average cut
or AZ feet at Summit avenue. The dis
lance from Nina avenue to Summit is
about $50 feet.
SOME DISCUSSION.
AS soon as the report was read Mr..
Oppenheim expressed his surprise at
the minority report. 1t would be better
to spend 500, 1000 than to have another
accident like that of ten days ago. 1t
was matter of the greatest impor-
lance. The road as it now is would al
ways be dangerous. The brakes will
not hold, and there is no certainty that
the car can be held. 1t may he held
once or twice, but 1t will get away, and
there is crash and lives are lost. Even
on trains run by steam they do not rely
OH the air brakes, but the men stand at
the brakes. They take 10 such chances.
He declared that the road should not he
run as surface road. 1t must go under
