FOUR MILLIONS INVOLVED.
Valuable Building Lots in Mime
sofa Cities.

Judge Simons filed decision yester-
day in the district court in the case of
William G. Stahl VS.. John j. Mitchell
ct al, granting defendants motion for a
new trial. The casesinyolves the valid
ity of certain proceedings had in the
court of common pleas of Allegheny
county at Pittsburg, Penn. as affect
ing certain lands in Minnesota. Nov.
25, 1857, James BIakely, with his wife,
made an assignment for the benefit of
his creditors according to the laws of
pennsylvania to John j. Mitchell.
Mitchell acted as assignee until Febru-
ary, 1858, when he rendered his resigna-
ton and was at once discharged without
notice. In the following March, with
pleas appointed William W. Camp
bell trustee of the assigned estate.
Campbell accepted the trust and pro-
ceeded to sell the property, and, having
divided the proceeds among the credi-
Tors, was discharged. The statutes of
Pennsylvania in force at that time pro-
Vlded that no assignee should be dis
charged without certain notices and
proceedings, which we're not complied
with. The defendants, heirs of James
Blakely, save John j. Mitchell, now
come FORWARD ana claim the land IN
Minnesota on several grounds, mainly,
however, that the first assignee, Mitch
ell, was Illegally discharged and the ap-
pointment of Campbell was void, and
all transfers by him of
PROPERTY OF NO EFFECT.
The piece of property in the present
suit is IN Ramsey county, containing
forty acres, situate north of the city linn
its of st. Paul and worth at least $40, 200.
The present case was commenced
nearly two years ago, and on December
6, 1887, Judge SimOns filed his decision
in favor of the plaintiff, who was pur-
chaser from the trustee, Campbell. The
court held that the defendants, heirs of
Blakely, were eStOpped from claiming
the land. In the decision just filed, the
court reverses its former decision as er-
r0neous and orders new trial in favor
of the defendants.
The lands in Minnesota which will
be affected by this case consist of 500
acres IN Ramsey county, 1l20 acres in
the state, situated in Washington, Chi
cago, La Sueur. Pine, and Hennepin
counties; also. 1857 acres in Iowa,
11S54 acres in Wisconsin. and SOP
acres in Ohio, making nearly 5000
acres: also, eighty-five city and town
lots in Minnesota, and lots in Omaha
and Cleveland, 100 more. The lots in
Minnesota are in st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Saltwater and Anoka, the whole prop
erty being now worth upwards of
S4,000,000.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

Louis James and Marie Wainwright
closed their engagement at the Grand
last evening in most finished produc-
ton of ''Othello." Mr.. James makes an
excellent Othello. as Miss Wainwright
does an ideal Desdemona.
In few more years Edwin Booth will
have passed from the stage, and Law
renee Barrett with him. When that
occurs Louis James will have no COM
petltor in legitimate drama. There is
no American woman to duplicate Marie
Nainwright'S distinction.
Of all the young American actors
there is none with brighter promise
than Fred Mosely, who plays leading
man in the James-Walnwrigh combi-
nation.
A large audience, principally ladies,
witnessed the matinee production of
t'Much Ado About Nothing."
The initial production of Rice's
''Corsair'' will be given at the Grand
tonight, and the engagement will last
the remainder of the week.

DISRUPTION IN RATES.
The Live Stock Rates From Kan
sas and Indian Territory Points
Cut in Two.

Cut in Two.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 29.-The reduction
of As per cent in live stock rates from
Kansas and Indian territory points has
brought into line the Missouri Pacific
and st. Louis & San Francisco roads to
meet the rates adopted by the Santa Fe-
and Rock Island. The reduction is un-
precedented in extent, and, as it is Ger
tain no settlement can be made this
year, the effect on the gross earnings
of Western Toads will be most disas-
trouS. The Missouri Pacific has fol-
lowed the Frisco rate of $3.50 from
Hunnewell. Indian Ter, to Chi
cago by putting in a $50 rate
from Kansas points to Chicago,
' s25 to Kansas City and $3.50 to St.
Louis. The fight originated between
the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska (Rock
Island in Kansas) and the Santa Fe.
The Santa Fe's stop-over privilege
granted Texas shippers is claimed to
have been the original cause of the
trouble. 1t is supposed that the Santa Fe
carried5,0 900 cars, 10000 head. into the
territory, and has contracted to carry
this immense live tonnage to market.
Another claim is that the war was pre-
cipitated by accident; that the Rock
Island telegraphed to make a $40 rate
from Caldwell. Kan. but by an error
the figures were changed to $50, and be-
fore being discovered 5000 head of cat
tie had been contracted for at that fig
ure. Railroad men smile knowingly at
this explanation, however. It is eX-
pected that all Kansas and Missouri
rates will now be disrupted.

SECRECY IS IMPERATIVE,
According to the Ideas Of a Church
Committee.
PASTOR ROBERTS CASE.
Lengthy Sessions and Volumes of
Testimony Will Probably Be
the Rule.

From 10 O'Clock yesterday morning
until in the evening, barring short
recess for dinner, committee of five
gentlemen sat in the school room of the
Central Presbyterian church. They
were Messrs. P. Cochran, Jr., Rice,
Burrell, Wells, and r. P. Lewis, and
the objecTof their session was to in
vestigate an application for the dissolu-
ton of Rev. w. d. Roberts pastorate
with Westminster Presbyterian church
in West st. Paul. 1t was veritable star
chamber investigation, but it may be
stated that the application for Pastor
Roberts dissolution is backed by George
Sickling, Joseph NJ. Hawthorne, Asabel
Il. Wedge and thirty-One others of his
congregation. Between 10 and II o'clock
the committee met in private to decide
upon the method of conducting the in
vestigation, and elected Mr.. Cochran
to be their chairman. At II o'clock they
commenced to take evidence in support
OF the application against Pastor Rob-
erts. This was of most voluminous
character and lasted until the committee
rose, shortly after O'Clock. 1t did not
tranSpire what the nature of the evil
dence was, but at the st. Paul Presby-
terry last Monday Pastor Roberts stated
that his character as Christian
MINISTER WAS INVOLVED.
The investigation is being conducted
on somewhat singular lines, as a MEM
Der of the committee last evening was
heard to remark that while the evidence
for the application was being taken the
defense was not even represented. Pas
tor Roberts, however, will seure hear
ing to-day, and stated last evening that
he will bring forward as witnesses in
support of his case, and in refutation of
the evidence produced by the promoters
of the application against him, ma
j0rity of the members of Westminster
church. The sitting of the committee
to-day will thus necessarily be as pro-
longed as was that of yesterday, but it
is expected that the work of taking evi-
dence for and against the accused pas
tor will be concluded at to-day session.
The committee will then Immediately
set about the preparation of their re-
port for presentation at the adjourned
meeting of the presbytery.
Il cannot understand the meaning of
this application" was the remark of a
prominent member of Westminster
church. 'Pastor Roberts is well liked
by the major portion of the members,
and it is only disgruntled few who are
raising the dust. If the application is
successful-well, it means the breaking
up of the church. that's ALL"

CHICAGO, Aug. ga young man
sprapg from seat in the Dearborn

night, uttered shrek, and jumped
through the window, carrying away the
sach, covering the walk with broken
glass, cutting his face frightfully
and sprinklfng blood over the
startled spectators. He struggled
to his feet and darted across
the alley. Officers Buck
ley and Duffey gave chase and over
hauled the fugitive on State street. He
sprang like tiger at Officer Duffey, bit
him savagely on the right hand, tore
generous chunck from the rear eleva-
ton of the doughty blue coats panta-
looms, and with herculean strength was
about to overcome Duffey and Buckley.

the combined efforts of six officers to
secure and land him in the patrol
wagon. He gave the name of Louis
Book, said he resided in Minnesota and
that he was farmer. Inquiry will be
made this morning as to his sanity.

STILL THEY HOWL.
The New Transcontinental Tariff
Displeasing to Chicago Ship


Displeasing to Chicago Ship
pers.
CHICAGO. Aug. 20.-The freight de-
partments of the Western roads have re-
eeived the promised supplement to the
new transcontinental tariff. 1t modifies
in a great measure the inconsistencies
that Chicago shippers are complaining
OF, but only partly relieves this city of
the discrimination imposed by the
original rate sheet. On many articles
that are largely manufactured here,
such as matches, lubricating oils, wood
carpet, burial cases, preserves, musical
instruments, etc., the rates are still
higher from Chicago to Pacific coast
points than from New York to the same
points. The majority of the Missouri
river roads refuse to adopt the new
rates. Chairman Midgley will be home
tomorrow, and meeting of the mer-
chants and railroad managers will be
held to consider the subject.

CHICAGO, Aug. ga meeting of

Western States Passenger association,
called to consider the proposed new
passenger agreement and rules recon-
mended by the general passenger

the absence of the Representatives of

purpose also of enabling the South
western lines 10 have a preliminary
conference and understanding, an ad-
journment was taken until tomorrow
afternoon. The conference committee
of the Southwestern lines will in the
meantime hold meeting at Chairman
Abbott's Office. The well-known atti-
tude Of the Chicago & Alton, declining
to go into any association where it
would hot be permitted to pay uni
form commission, is understood to be
the chief point at issue.
