Willie Johnson's Medal.

Willie JOhnSOn'S Medal.
In an old house at Chelsea a silver
shield-shaped medal, with the follow
ing inscription, was found: "Willie
johnson, aged thirteen years, Com
pany d, Third Vermont Regiment.
Presented with medal by Secretary
Stanton for carrying this drum through
the seven days fight before Richmond,
being the only drum carried through
in the regiment, the last of June and
1st of July" The drum to which the
medal was attached was found, and
now awaits the claim of the owner or
his friends at the office of the sergeant
alarms at the Mass. state house.
The above is current news item in
the Boston papers. Willie Johnson
was st. Johnsbury boy, who enlisted
with his father in the Sd Vermont reg
ment. At the close of the war he re-
turned to st. Johnsbury, joined the
band and figured prominently as one
of its members during the season of
1867. He attracted considerable atten-
tiOn here and was invited about that
the people might see the young hero
and his drum. What finally became
of him and his present whereabouts
can easily be ascertained as he has
been in the navy and was for some
time at the Charlestown, Mass, navy
yard, a member of the band. His fa-
ther was here last fall and spoke at a
meeting of Post Chamberlin. Bene-
dict, in his "Vermont in the Civil War;
tells this story of the drummer boy :
When General Smiths division was
paraded at Harrison's Landing, after
the "change of base," it was found that
but one drummer of the entire division
had brought his drum with him through
the seven days retreat. This was a
St. Johnsbury lad of IA years, named
Willie Johnson, who was the drummer
boy of Co. d of the Sd Vermont. While
many strong men threw away their
arms and verything but the clothing
on their persons, Willie clung to his
drum and carried it through with him,
and at HarrisOn's Landing he had the
honor of drumming at dress parade.
These facts were reported by General
Smith to the war department, and sew
eral months later Willie was summon
ed to Washington and received from
Secretary Stanton the star medal oil
honor for his fidelity and Dluck

ADOCTOR's FAIRY TALE.
He Claims That the Woman's Pro-
tective Association Has Spirited
Away His Daughter.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-There arrived at
the Palmer house Tuesday, Oct. 2, a
middle-aged gentleman, evidently Eng
fish, accompanied by a decidedly hand
some young lady, sixteen or seventeen
years of age. He registered as DR.. E.
Robbins and daughter, Los Angeles,
Cal. They were assigned to Room 364.
That evening DIR. Robbins paid his bill,
ana, accompanied by the girl, left the
hotel. Last night he sought the assist
ance of the police to recover his daugh-
ter, who he claimed had been
spirited away by agents of the
WOman's Protective association. He
says that several years ago he parted
from mis- wife in England and came to
this country, drifting to Montana, Idaho
and finally to California, where he
amassed a fortune. His wife meantime
had secured a divorce. Learning of
this. Dr.. Robbins sent for his daughter
and met her in New York. He claims
that some unknown person telegraphed
here that the girl was not his daughter,
but that he was leading her aStray.
Two days ago, woman called on the
girl and he has not seen her since. DIR.
Robbins did not explain where he had
been stopping since the day he left the
Palmer house. A search among all the
leading hotels last night failed to locate
the doctor. Mrs. Dye, clerk of the Pro-
tectiye association, denies any knOWl-
edge of the man CT girl.

Real Estate Scraps.

Workmen commenced yesterday max
ing the excavation for al addition to the
Minnesota club house. This addition
will lie built in the rear of the present
structure on Cedar street, and Will cost
about 1000.
The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton are making good progress with their
eXcavating, on the northeast corner of
Cedar and Tenth streets, for the new
and handsome structure they are about
to erect. They have got down to the
rock, and will probably commence blast
ing this week.
Stone & Morton have hidden farewell
for a short time to real estate, and have
taken atrip to the Pacific coast for rec
reation.
Davis e Brown state that the week
has been fair for business, and that they
have sold quite number of lots on st.
Anthony hill.
Some time ago the Philip Best Brew
ing company DO ght lot on Third
street, above the WabaSha street bridge,
opposite the TivOli. The lot had front
of Seventy-fiye feet on Third street or
Bridge square. The purpose of the
company is to erect a large building
from the levee below. That part of it
above the Third street surface will be
four or five stories high, and altogether
from the levee up it will be nine or ten
stories high. 1t is to be fire-proof, with
iron girders, and will be built of brick
and stone. Work will be commenced
early in the spring. 1t will be equipped
with two elevators. One will run from
the Ievee for merchandise, and the other
will extend from the street level to the
top of the building. The company will
have its office on the Bridge square
front.
There is talk of building the cable
line from its present terminus to Mer-
Ram Park. 1t is understood that parties
along the route are canvassing the mat
ter, and that the cable company is
ready to build the line if it could get a
good bonus. One hundred thousand
dollars have been named as the sum,
but it is said that the company would
prefer to has the bonus come in the
form of lots. inasmuch as the latter
would soon double in value, and would
be more profitable than money. 1t is
said that Archbishop Ireland owns a
considerable property out in that To-
cality. and that he is very favorable to
the scheme.

A General Strengthening Of
the Market Indicated in
All Directions.

creased, But Prices OBJ
tanned Are Good.
Lot on Broadway and Elev-

rating Building an Add
ton to Their House.

While there has been no marked and
distinctive improvement in the real
estate market during the past week,
there has been strengthening all
around. Daily inquiry has increased,
and although the sales have not been
more numerous than they were the
week previous, the market has been
more active and vigorous. The market
is really in a much better condition
than any one has a right to expect
under the circumstances. Naturally
every mans mind is fully occupied
with politics, to the utterseXclusiOn of
real estate transactions. Messrs. Davis
& Brown numbered among their sales
for the week ten or twelve lots on st.
Anthony hill.
Bushnell & Bushnell sold quite freely
at lnver Grove.
johnson & Read sold several lots in
Summit Park and on Lincoln avenue.
w. r. Gilt has purchased lot, corner
of Eleventh and Broadway. This lot is
50xl00 and brought $4,000.
MessrS. Taylor & Craig are preparing
to build an extensive addition to their
manufacturing plant on Fifth street.
"a
be erected on st. Anthony avenue, near
Byron street.
A. b. Wilgus & Co. sold several lots
OH Rice street, some in MOrrisOn'S adj
ditiOn and two in McKenty's addition.
Clark & Bryant report a number of
sales in various parts of the city, and
that the tone of the market is good.
Several Eastern capitalists have been
in the city looking around for invest
mentS, and it is reported that sales have
been partly negotiated.
II, S. Fairchild & Co. declare that the
market is all right. 1t is not as active
as they would like to see it, but it is
fully as promising as it is expected to
be during a presidential election.
Messrs. Bristol 81 LOOMS see no
change in the market.
Stone Il Morton report the market to
be without any great change. Sales,
they say, still continue . to be made in
all parts of the city. The property that
they have disposed of during the past
week was located in the Stone d Nor
ton and Denny-Hill division, in the
northeast part of the city, near Airing
ton Hills.
George Hazard always takes philO-
sOphical view of the market, and has
the happy faculty of extracting comfort
out of combination of circumstances
that has the most forbidding appear
ance. He sees much in the market to
rejoice over and believes that the city
will take on a growth soon that will
aStonish people.
Opinions differ greatly among dealers
as to a revival of business. In gen.
eral way, however, nearly all expect
more activity as soon as the political ex-
citement ceases,

LEARNED AT DULUTH.
Several Sensations Reported in
Political Circles.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Oct. 6.-The past week has
been prolific in small political sensa-
tions. NJ. N. Gannon's speech at Ingalls,
hall has been the topic of conversation
among the politicians, not only the
Democrats, but the Republicans. The
transfer of the Age, an influential labor
organ, with strong Democratic lean
ing, has also created small stir, mas
much as the Republicans are loudly
claiming that the paper has been
purchased by those who intent to runit
in the future in the interest of the Re-
publican party. This, however, is a
mistake, as the Age will be in future
entirely devoted to the interests of the
industrial classes, and therefore could
not be run upon Republican princi Piles.
The news received to-day of the pur-
chase or lease of the new st. Paul d
Winnipeg railroad, created feeling of
intense satisfaction here. The st. Paul
IL Duluth people have lately been COM
planning that the new line was heavy
load to carry. The shareholders could
not be brought to see the matter in the
same light as the late directorate, and
insisted that the old line was fully able
to do the business now that all the
Northern Pacific railway trains went
out and came into Duluth via the Poke
gema branch. The chances are, how
ever. that they are right, as, witho ut
doubt, Jim Hill's new Eastern Mime
sofa line will cut into the st. Paul &
Duluth lake traffic to great extent.
The contracts for the construction Of
the new car works at West Duluth were
let during the week, and large force
of men is now at work grading the sites
for the various buildings, and trans
porting large quantities of stone, brick,
lumber, etc., to West Duluth. The new
blast furnace, which is on the adjoining
ten acres to the car works, is we'll under
way, the walls being twelve or fourteen
feet above the foundations. A fine
modern hotel, schoolhouse and about
100 houses have been constructed this
summer at West Duluth, and to-day
there is thriving town to be seen upon
Grassy Point" where two years ago
there was nothing but trees and brush.

EXCITED ITALIANS.
They Object to Paying the Poll
Tax Imposed Upon Them in

Tax Imposed Upon Them in
Iowa.
DIES MONIES, To-, Oct. GA fine
question that may take a national i'm
portance is now pending in the govern
or's Office. 1t seems that the officers of
Hamilton county have imposed poll
tax on some Italian labOrers ON the
Northwestern road at StratfOrd. The
Italians do not object to laboring for
venal recOmpense, but they positively
object to laboring two days for the state
of Iowa. They have therefore appealed
to the consul of Chicago concerning
the matter, which he in turn has re-
ferred to the minister at Washington.
The Italian minister has referred to
Secretary Bayard, and the latter has
sent to Gov. Larrabee for statement of
the case, with his opinion as to what
should be done. The Italians declare
that the imposing of this tax is in vio-
lation of the commercial treaty of Feb
ruary. 1871, between Italy and the
United States. while the claimants on
the other side allege that such taxation
is according to the laws of Iowa and
not in violation of the treaty. There
are several thousand Italians in this
state, all of whom are greatly inter
ested in the question atissue.

Reagan'S Speech.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-In present
ing his bill to allow jute bagging to
be imported free Of duty Senator
Reagan said, to-day, that owing to
the trust which controlled the bag.
ging, its price had materially advan.
ced, and the cotton planters were de.
batting whether or not to withhold
their cotton from the markets till
this oppression was made to lose its
hold. This struck at one of the
greatest industries of the world, and
one which had no protection, though
it had to compete in the markets OF
the world with the cotton of other
countries. Congress had the power
to relieve this great industry by TAX.
ing the duty from jute, and he trust
ed it would be done at once.
The grand old tribune Of the peo,
pie works directly in the interest OF
the people. His associates of either
party do not; if they did, they would
make that bill the law "e Instant.
Judging by the past, it will not pass.
