FIGHT FOR PASSENGERS.
A Peculiar Scene Yesterday at
Castle Garden.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16-There was
lively railroad fight at Castle Garden
to-day when the 649 passengers of the
Thingvalla steamer Hekla were landed.
All who were going to points beyond
New 7 Ork had bought tickets from the
steamship agents in Europe, which in
cluded an order to the clearing house at
Castle Garden to forward them to
their destination. Manager Doane
sent force of men to the
Thingvalla dock this morning, who
took up the orders and gave in exchange
orders on the Lake Shore road. Mean
while, however, the Thingvalla people
had arranged that the passengers should
20 over the Ontario 81 Western. When
they reached Castle Garden both roads
had force of men on hand, who imme-
diately began fight for possession of
the travellers. The poor emigrants were
pulled and hauled right and left, and
did not know what to do. As a result,
some who were travelling together were
separated and sent by different roads.
Commissioner Stephenson arrived on
the scene when the riot was at its
height and drove the railroad runners
out of the garden, after which peace
reigned again, and the West Shore road
got the rest of the passengers.

A HEAVY CORN CROP,
Which Is Reported Past Injury
From Frost.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The weather
crop bulletin for the week ending
Saturday, Sept. 15,. says: Reports from
the corn belt, including Indiana, Hi
nOis, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska, in
dicate that the weather during the
week has been especially favorable, and
that the corn crop. which is very large,
is generally secure and past injury from
frost. The frosts which occurred dur
ing the week along the northern border
of Iowa, and in Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Michigan did some damage to grow
ing crops. Over the west portion
of the cotton region, including
Alabama and Mississippi, Tennessee,
Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, the
favorable weather during the week has
greatly improved all growing crops,
and cotton picking is in progress in all
these states. In North and South Caro-
lima, all growing crops have been seri-
ously injured by heavy rains and dang
erous floods. The weather during the
week has been especially favorable for
tobacco in Kentucky and Tennessee.
The weather in New England and the
Middle Atlantic States was generally
unfavorable for the ripening of crops,
and farm work was retarded.

DIR. JOHNSON sERENADED.
Hudson Shows its Appreciation of
Leading Citizen.

Special to the Globe.
HUDSON, Wis, Sept. 16.-The trum-
pet sounded the first note of the con-
gressiOnaI campaign in the Eighth dis
trict last night IN this city, but it was
note Of friendly greeting, not of war.
The band called the people together in
the business portion of the city, and it
was soon whispered about that it was
to sereuade DR.. Johnson, who has been
nominated by the Labor and Democratic
parties for congress. The crowd formed
into a procession and marched to the
doctors fine residence. By the time it
reached the gate it had grown to hun
dTedS. and it filled his spacious lawn
till many were compelled to remain on
the outside. DR.. Johnson responded to
the music by fitting address, thanking
ing the people for their consideration
and respect for him, and rendered to
them the hospitality of his home,
but told them it was Impossible
at that time to disclose whether
or not he would make the canvass IN
response to the nomination by either
the Labor or the Democratic party,
William Otis then addressed the doctor
In behalf of the citizens, declaring that
the Serenade was of no political Signifi-
canoe: that labOrers, Democrats and
Republicans, had Joined together to
show their estimate of him as citizen,
and the wisdom of the convention
which had nominated him; that when
ever a movement was necessary for the
public good the doctor was foremost
in its assistance; that whenever labor
was in a struggle his influence went
widely and strongly to its relief; that
whenever a laboring man was in need
the doctor silently but surely sent
means for his comfort. The Scandina-
Wan club was out in large numbers,
and its glee club furnished some choice
music. Whatever the doctors course
may be as to accepting the nomination,
the serenade last night showed his
strength among the people, regardless

AGENTS AND BRAVES
To Meet the Commission at Lower
Brule Sept. %.

PIERRE, Dak., Sept. 16.-Orders from
Secretary Villas prevented the Indian
commission from going to Cheyenne
agency, as was their intention. 1t has
now been ordered by the secre-
tary to hold a council at Lower
Brule ON the 22d, consisting of the
commission, all the Indian agents on
the Sioux reservation and seven braves
from each agency. At this council the
future movements of the commission
will be outlined. 1t is not improbable
that head chiefs from each tribe will
be sent to Washington to see the Great
Father. This is the privilege they
most desire, and which should have
been granted them last winter, mas
much as they raised money among them
selves to defray their expenses. If they
had not been thwarted much of the op-
position now apparent would not have
developed. The council of next Satur-
day will have an important effect upon
the ratification or rejection of the treaty.

Politically Bad.
Minona Herald.

" IuUud I1tId1U.
In business and social life there is nothing
to be said against Mr.. Merriam, an nobody
wishes to say anything. In politics, how
ever, his methods are in the highest degree
reprehensible. He relies upon his immense
fortune to carry him through, and has per-
feet confidence that it will at last give him
the coveted seat in the senate. His own
neighbors and fellow citizens, all of whom
liked him well enough, expressed very forci-
bly, their condemnation of his political
methods four years ago, when they showed
him under for mayor of st. Paul by 5000
majority, the worst beaten man who ever
ran for Office in st. Paul. The fact is, the
people, the workingmen and farmers. the
real backbone of our country, don't take
kindly TO a man whose chief availability and
whose chief reliance is great wealth.

MANCHESTER, Mo-, Sept. 16.-Andrew
Rhuel, well-tO-do farmer living six
miles from here, was the central figure
in a triple tragedy Friday night. For
several months bad blood has existed
between the Rhuel and Fink families.
Their farms adjOined and the trouble
was caused by some disparaging
remarks made about Miss Annie Fink.
For this he was thrashed by Fred Fink.
the girls brother. Rhuel went to st.
Louis Friday and purchased a pistol
with the determination of killing the
Finks. There were only two of them,
the brother and sister. Rhuel went to
the home of the Finks, where
he met Fred, and without
word shot him through the
jaw. Without pausing to ascer-
tain the condition of the first victim he
hurried on TO complete his murderous
task. At the house he found Miss Fink
cooking supper. She had heard the re-
port of the pistol when her brother was
shot, and seeing Rhuel approaching,
sought safety in flight. She ran out
of the house, with the man close upon
her track. Instead of firing at
her as she ran, he chased her for a dis
tance of 200 yards. The poor woman,
after her long race for life, becoming
utterly exhausted, turned and faced her
pursuer with the appeal: Mr. RhueI,
don't shoot me-" This had no effect. He
placed the muzzle of the weapon at
her left breast and sent bullet through
her heart. Not satisfied with this, he
fired again and again at his PROSTATE
victim. He then returned home, re-
loaded his weapon, bade his wife and
children adieu and going to the barn
blew his brains out.
