A Minneapolis Racket.

Something of commotion was occa-
stoned at midnight at 81 Washington
avenue south, Minneapolis. 1t appears
that pool room conducted by Murray,
Thomas & Go. has been in operation in
the rear of Knowles saloon since
August, upon years lease. Mr..
Knowles has recently leased his room
to the New York Hat store, desiring to
retire from business. OF course the
pool room connection was undesirable
to the hat people, who wished
possession. The pool room people
likewise desired possession and during
the afternoon rendered February's rent
in accordance with the years lease,
which they claim to have received. This
was rejected and police assistance was
summoned. 1t seems strange that the
police should have taken eOgnizance of
the matter before legal action was taken
through the courts, but, at any rate,
Supt. Helm sent detail, which elected
the pool room men, and there the mat

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 31.-The ice gorge
which has formed in the Mississippi
river in front of this city began to move
at midnight last night and drifted down
stream about 800 yards, lifting three
steamers out of the water, slightly in
iuring them, when the immense weight
was checked and remained intact until
10 O'Clock this morning, when the Janu-
airy thaw loosened the great mass and it
slowly crashed down upon nearly 81, 500.-
600 worth of property, which is now
slowly grinding into ruins. The gorge
has been forming for ten days, land every
means has been taken to dlSlOdge 1t, but
in vain, the great cakes, fifteen to
eighteen inches thick, have piled upon
each other, forming solid mass from
bank to bank, several hundred yards
deep and from eighteen to twenty feet
thick. The mild weather has rotted
only the upper layer, and beneath is
fiinty mass of blue ice ready to grind
the many steamboats, and barges that
are tied close inshore. Already several
barges have been sunk, and the
steamers Tamm, Matte Belle, and
Hayes have been sunk. The Hayes is
a large excursion steamer, the property
of the Anchor line. 1t is total wreck,
She lies near land, with only her upper
deck visible. She is side-wheeler,
valued at $4,000. The Matte Belle is
owned by the Illinois River company.
She was il fine large freight boat. The
Tamm was a ferry boat. The wharf
boat OF the Alton d Grafton Railroad
company was swept away at IL O'Clock.
The steamer CITY of Monroe snapped
her lines at noon to-day, and is wreck.
Capt. Mason and Mr.. Zeberger were
badly injured. The ice has stopped
running and there is little chance for
the thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty still below the gorge.
The total damage so far done to ship
ping in the harbOr since the gorge
three weeks ago is estimated at $50, 900,
of which the Anchor line loses 1000,
the Missouri Sand company $4,000, the
Huse 81 LOOMS company $1,000, the
United States government, for the light
house launch Ivy, $4,000, and the st.
Clair County Ferry company 81 900.
About 1880 o'clock tonight, the lower
end of the gorge, five miles below the
city, gave way, and since then the ice
has been floating out in continuous
stream. Luckily no further damage
was done, or at least none had been re-
ported at midnight, and steamboat men
now say that all the really dangerous
part of the gorge has gone, and they do
not apprehend any more trouble. Ice
is coming down from above in great
stream, but it flows quietly and harm
leSSly through the harbor.

OUR PINE LANDS.

Though the devastation wrought of
late years in the pine forests Of Mime
sofa has been enormous, there are yet
vast tracts Of valuable pine land exist
ing in the state. These are for the
most part on the Indian reservations in
the northern part of the state OF
course the spectators and lumbermen
have for some time been looking long
ingly toward these lands, and have been
casting about for some means of getting
possession of them. On the Red Lake
reservation alone it is estimated that
the standing pine is worth $4,000, 900,
and toward this store of treasure atten-
ton has of course been most ardently
directed. A way has been found for
getting at it.
A bill has been prepared granting the
right OF way to a railroad through ''cer-
tain'' Indian reservations in the state of
Minnesota, the Red Lake reservation
being of course included. The rest will
be comparatively easy, and the l, 100 In
dianS on the reservation will be speedily
crowded out. Of course the time will
come when this store of timber will
have to be utilized, but it is not needed
yet. Minnesota forests are disappear
ing altogether too rapidly for the gov
eminent to aid in their complete dem
clifton. Nor, even were it now advis-
able to make inrOadS upon the Red
Lake timber, would it be either fair or
polite to throw the lands open to gen.
eral settlement.
The lands belong to the Indians, and
for their benefit only should they be
sold. And there need be no haste in
disposing of them. Every day adds to
their value. When the time does come
for utilizing them the proceeds result
ing from their sale will be vastly in
creased. In the meantime the specu-
latOrS can wait.

BUFFALO's DANGER.
The System of Petroleum Pipes
Causes Much Uneasiness to the
Citizens.


BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. Efficiently
explosions of, and havoc wrought by,
naphtha gas in the sewers of Rochester
and BinghamtOn have caused an inquiry
to be made regarding the danger in this
city from similar sources. So far as is
learned not much fear of naphtha need
be entertained, but in the language of a
leading Oil man. Buffalo is menaced
by danger almost as great as a naph-
tina pipe line. The petroleum pipe lines
at East Buffalo run parallel, across and
all around the small sewers in that re-
giOn, the contents of which are finally
discharged into the trunk sewer.
Should break occur at any point vast
quantity of crude Oil would be dis
charged into the sewer system of the
city in very short time. and the result
might be a series of disasters which
would cause the Rochester calamity to
sink into insignifcance. Crude oil ey-
posed to the air will become reduced
One-fourth in volume by the escape of
the light and volatile gases. Just i'm
agine 10000 barrels of crude Oil flowing
into a sewer at East Buffals from a
broken pipe, and thence making its way
in the entire sewer system of the bust
ness heart of the city, pouring it's gases
into cellars and apartments of the house
through SINKS, waShbowls and defective
sewer connection, and finally coming
int contact with the gas jets. Do you
not imagine what reign of terror
would enSue?"
