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

Maj. John G. 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 OIL the boats at Cheever's land
ing. Only few people know that
thirty years ago, when Minneapolis was
but 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 cap
italists in the scheme of build
ing a line OF steamboats, to ply
between Minneapolis and st. Louis. He
proposes, with G.. II. Deere, the Moline
l.low man, to build the first boat, large
last steamer, at a cost of SIS, 900, of
which amount he wishes to raise half in
Minneapolis, s1S,5OO TO by raised by June
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 a stateroom capacity for go peo-
pie. The boat will lie 80 feet long, 4S
foot beam and 800 tons burden, and will
make the round trip to st. Louis
weekly.
The plan has excited considerable i'll

IS meeting with much encouragement.

though only ss3, 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 i'll main
tanning and repairing them, and by so
doing claims have accumulated
against the company to the amount OF

YOUNG FREDDY"
Who Will Probably Postpone the
Barrett Trial.

The work of impaneling a jury in
the case of the state against Peter Bar
rett is progressing rather slowly. The
special venire of 115 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 To be present at the trial, Il post
ponement will have to be taken.

A HEAVY SUIT
Involving 100000 Worth @
PrODertV on Nicollet Ayenue.


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 3S 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 syndicate
composed of John Ii 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 prominent character in the
early days of this city, and will be re-
membered 10y 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 M.
S. Wilkinson, formerly United States
senator from this state.

TOO BAD.
n FIy-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 colored
girl named Nellie Saunders. Sew
eral lines of a stereotyped nature were
run in to the effect that sit 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 Il 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, Il 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.

Health Officer Kilvington requests the

is quite apparent, is moderately drawn
under the aggraVating circumstances:
The exceptions that we take to the board

but to the authority of said committee and

or rather be asked, to act with the board
of health in settling the local sewage

the tone of Health Officer Kilvington's

Arbitration from Fear, and Arbitra-

Gen. Sheridan thinks that in one

he think so? Because dynamite and

guns will be so destructive Of human
life that mankind will not. dare to
fight. Gen. Sheridan, by boldly and
confidently expressing such an opinion
in the glimmering dawn of the TWEEN.

on the world than all the men-of-war
have done since the angels sang "Glo-
ry to God in the highest, on earth

this great arbitration power, which is
soon to "rule the whole world,n is to
come, not by the mighty power Of
love, but by the mighty power of fear.
