The Cable Line Has Been
Turned Over to the Street
Car Company.
Work at the WorkhouSe for
Fourteen Months--A Years
Fires.
Summary Of the Doings Of
One Day Gathered From
All Sources.
THE LINE Is DONE.
The Cable Car Line Turned Over
TO the Street Car COMPANY.


"Yes," said Frank Lloyd, the genial
secretary of the cable construction COM
pany, 1.-The wonderful cable line is COM
pleted. We turned over the line to
the car company to-day. When the
cars will start running, depends alto
gether on Col. Babe, the general man
ager. The final measurement of the
cable line was made to-day. 1t is 24,6l2
Clio feet in length, or about SIS miles.
This measurement was made by my
self, Mr.. Webb and the engineer of
the Street Car company, and was
finally examined by the engineers of
the Cable Construction company. The
engineer seems tc be rather facetiouS in
the Dispatch. All there is in reply to that
is, that the line is located and has been
examined by the best engineers in the
country. who decided on the practical
bllity of this route and no question can
be raised as TO its successful operation.
Before the contract was awarded TO us,
the line was located by Col. Babe and
gone over by him and other engineers
of the company. and afterwards by our
own engineers"
There are always some persons who
"sick" in the face of facts, and are crit
iciZing work of this magnitude. YeSter
day the cars were running at the
rate of four miles per hour. To-day
the speed Will be increased to seven
miles and ears will run regularly. Yes
terday the entire day was spent in salt
ing the tracks and by tonight
the line will be in regular oper-
alton. The contraction of the slot.
will not materially affect the
operation of the road. Mr.. Lloyd's
work will end to-day. He is vastly re-
Heyed, also Mr.. Webb. and on Saturday
they will return to New York, followed
by the sincere good wishes of all who
have had the honor of their acquaint-
auce

NO BLAINE IN OURS.
That Is What the Anti Protective Tariff
&c League Says.
DETERMINED REPUBLICANS
The Young Republican Club Proposes
! - to Cut Some Figure in the Com
% ing Campaign.

:" minnesota is good field for us to
: labor in," said Hon. Gordon f. Cole,
" land as soon as spring opens the anti
Protective Tariff league will be actively
engaged in disseminating. literature on
the subject among the voters of the
state. Four Republicans are members
or the league as at present constituted.
and not one of them is favOrably in
,clined towards Mr.. Blaine, who stands
foremost to-day as the champion of pro-
lection. Among thinking men every
! where throughout the country the SEN
timent is growing that Mr.. Blaine is
not desirable candidate for the Re
publicans in the next campaign, because
of his tariff views, and in Minnesota
particularly the farmers are crystalizing
their opposition to him. While our
league makes no distinction in the
membership whether man is Repub-
llcan or Democrat, as matter OF fact,
majority of the members belong tOithe
latter party.
''SOme of the best men of both parties
in the state have views in accordance
with our own, and special efforts will
be made during the ensuing campaign
to enroll them under our banner for a
revision and reform in the tariff. did
not vote for Blaine at the last election
because thought that he was not my
idea of what good Republican should
be, and on the same ground shalliop-
pose him this year by every means in
my power" - =.
YOUNG REPUBLICANS.
''FOur hundred members of the Young
Republican club will be opposed to any
candidate nominated this year in Min
nesota who is not acceptable to them, -
said Richard Lehman, one of the orig
inal members of the organization, ''and
it is likely that we will be rather an i'm
portant factor IN the next campaign. 1t
is about time that the young men should
have something to say about politics in
Minnesota, without being led up to the
polls on election day to deposit their
ballots for some one whom they do not
care three straws for, and we have de-
termined to call halt in this direction.
L have seen the club grow from men,
bership of eight to its present numbers
and have talked with all of them for
some time past with view to ascertain
ing their feelings, and | think can give
a pretty good reflex of the prevailing
sentiment. Mark my words for it, our
power will be felt in the campaign, for
we can turn out about thousand vot-
ers by putting our shoulders to the
wheel, and when the parties are so
evenly divided as they are in this city
this means considerable to the candidate
for our support"

CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.
Inquest Over the Remains of
Michael Flaherty, Killed in Sat
urday'S Collision.

Inquest Over the Remains of
Michael Flaherty, Killed in Sat
urday'S Collision.
Coroner Quinn conducted an inquest
at Mccarthy & Donnelly's undertaking
rooms yesterday, to learn the cause of
the death of Michael Flaherty, who was
killed in collision in the Northern Pa
cific yaldS Saturday morning. Flah-
erty was riding on Northern Pacific
pilot engine coming from his home to
go to his work in the general offices of
the Omaha road. AT a switch just be-
yOnd the Fourth street tunnel, the Min
neapoliS Il st. Louis short line train
crashed into the dinning-car in the rear
of the pilot engine, and Flaherty, who
jumped from the cab with the engineer
and fireman, fell under the wheels in
some way. and was decapitated. The
trainmen of the Northern Pacific crew,
testified these facts before the cOrOner'S
jury. EardmaSter Finnegan testified
that the fog was so dense that it
was impossible to see eight feet ahead.
He also testified that both the trains
were behind time. 1t has been custom
airy for the pilot engine to leave the
Mississippi street yards with the North
u IL 0SllC lldllI uuC W lCdNC llC
depot at o'clock, in time to pass the
switch ahead of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis train, which is due there at I'll.
Both trains were delayed that morning,
and it was TAO before either train
reached the switch. Joseph O'ConnOr,
fireman on the pilot engine, testified
that they were running at the rate of
ten miles an hour, when six or eight
miles an hour is the limit by rule. The
engineer, Patrick Murphy, applied the
air brakes, intending to stop before cross
ing the switch, but the brakes refused.
He then whistled for brakes, but it
was too late. He also testified that
he had tested the brakes before leaving
the Mississippi street yards, and that
they worked all right. The jury re-
turned verdict that Flaherty came to
his death in the collision, caused by the
failure of the air brakes to work on the
Northern Pacific train, concluding with
the simple statement that 1.-The train
was running at the rate Of ten miles per
hour"
Flaherty's remains were inferred at
Calvary cemetery. The funeral services
were conducted at II o'clock from st.
Patrick's church, under the auspices of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, of
which he was a prominent member.
There were 123 carriages in the process
sion to the grave-the largest seen in
st. Paul in many years.

Dove-eyed peace lowered over one
table of the Windsor hotel dining room
last night, with such fiutter of its
wings as to attract the attention of sew
eral newspaper men who CHANGED to be
there at the time. 1t also caused At

keep all open eye and ear for all san

their pleasant task of devastating Col.

lion and the lamb lying down within

once for all settled the al

McCafferty and c. Tyson Butcher.
The two gentlemen, of whom so much
has been said and written of late, sat at
the same little table and took their sup
pers with not even war cloud so large

has been practically turned into plow-
share and the sword beaten into no
more dangerous weapon than a dinner
lIife. Judge McCafferty lifted the
vinegar cruet to reaching distance of
Mr. Butcher as gracefully as he might
once have pinked that gentleman with
his rapier. Mr.. Butcher. with all the

paign.
A meeting of prohibitiOnists was held
at the Relief society building last night
for the purpose of organizing political
club for the campaign of 1883. There
was quite large attendance. Rev. F.
0. Holman, the new pastor of the First
M. E. church, made lengthy speech,
outlining the work that must be done in
order to place the club on a
sound basis. He cited the great
disadvantages they labored under
in fighting the saloon element,
which has grip on the throat of the
people all over the world. He pre-
said that prohibition was bound to sue
ceed ere long. He claimed as a clincher
that before great while the newspa-
perS that are now pOking fun at the
party would be on their knees begging
for the prohibition vote.
= NJ. A. WertZ, was unanimously elected
'preSident of the club. He TANKS the
prohibition movement brings men
;nearer to God and will finally save
the nation from destruction. He
ssaid that this prohibition work
was needed more by the labOring
man than any other; that out of S37, 0O0,-
!, 900 paid for beer in Chicago in 1887, at
9least $4,000, 900 had been paid by the
laboring men. He thinks this equally
ain proportion in st. Paul. Committees
,iwere appointed to enroll new members,

aadjonrned. Active measures will be
ftaken to secure permanent meeting

1.-THE UTAH PROBLEM"
Chief Topic Before the COngrega-

The regular monthly meeting of the
Minnesota Congregational club was held
in the parlOrs of Plymouth church last
evening. A large and cultured audi
ence was in attendance, and the topic
of the evening Utah Problem"-
was thoroughly discussed. A letter
from Rev. +. S. Williams describing
some of his personal recollections and
experiences in the Mormon country
was read by the secretary of the club,
Harlan p. Roberts. This was followed by
an interesting and able address by Rev.
M. w. Montgomery. This gentleman
argued that the Edmunds law is insult
ficient and that it serves but to turn the
property of the Mormon hierarchy right
back into their hands through the school
system. Prof. Edward Benner, of Salt
Lake academy, then delivered short
address Oh the evils of the system and
vigorously opposed the admission of the
territory. The discussion then became
general, and the meeting broke up with
a sort of an informal reception.
