LITTLE FALLS, Mimi, May 1O.-The
day has been an unfavOrable one for the
celebration of the opening of the Little
Falls water power works here, for
which such costly preparations had
been made by both the company and
townspeople. During the early portion
OF the day. which was interSperSed with
frequent showers, the Little Falls fire
companies met the visiting Sank Center
and Brainerd fire companies, and the
committee met the Brainerd cham
Der of commerce, who were the
guests of the Little Falls chamber
of commerce for the day and
escorted them to their headquarters,
where they were royalty entertained.
Gov. RuSk and staff arrived on the
special train from st. Paul at - M. and
were escorted to the hotel by the re-.
ceptiOn committe. During the after
noon, when the weather became more
favorable, the fire companies paraded
the principal streets and formed around
the grand stand, upon which were Gov.
McGill and his staff, together with
many prominent citizens of Louisville
and Little Falls. After an interesting
address by DR.. Breyfogle, of Louisville,
Mayor Summons in an appropriate man
her introduced Gov. McGill, who made
an able and lengthy speech. congratu-
lating the citizens of Little Falls and
the state of Minnesota on the success of
the enterprise. He was followed by
Lieut.. Gov. Bryan, of Kentucky. Fur
Their outdoor proceedings were curtailed
by heavy shower. The party then
proceeded to the west side of the river,
where Gov. McGill raised the head
gates of the canal and formally declared
the works open. Various amusing
aquatic sports, such as log rolling and
the passage of batteau containing five
river drivers over the log chute
entertained the visitors for an hour or
more, after which there was more
speech-making at the chamber of com
merce building. AT p. III. the trains
began to leave and fully 500 persons left
between that hour and p. III. The
town has as many strangers tonight as
can be cared for. The veStibule train
will leave here during the forenoon to-
morrow for Louisville.

THE FAvoRITE SON RACKET.

The favorite son business is being
overdone this year. That is, it would
be if there was not method in it. But
when we come to investigate this favor
lite son business we discover evidences
that it is part OF a preconcerted scheme,
which, if successful, is to inure to Mr..
BLAISE's benefit.
When the Republican convention con-
yeneS in Chicago next month there will
scarcely be state north of MASON and
DIXoN's line but will be represented by
delegates with instructions to present
the name of its favOrite son, and, with
the possible exception of OHIO, not one
that will have ghost of show for the
nomination of its candidate, or that will
be in earnest about pressing his name.
PHELPS and INGALLS, and RUsK and
DEPEw and HARRISON and the whole
batch of them will be piled up Oh the
convention in mass of confusion for
the single purpose of producing COM
LEGATIONS that can only be Strengthened
out by BIAINE'S nomination.

Wilhelm Rice's refusal to serve an

mayor of st. Paul by nearly 10000 ma

for any office, and who can always get
several thousand majority in st. Paul.
He coald be elected easily. Next to
Edmund Rice, Bob Smith is the great
vote winner of ST. Paul. Then there is

Somebody's Carlessness.

Special to the Globe.
MooRHEAD, Mimi, May 1O.-A sad
case of sickness, destitution and death
occurred here to-day. The latter was
caused by the careleSsness of the emf
grant agent at the st. Paul union depot.
A family of Norwegians emigrants
named Vote arrived on the Manitoba
train this morning. The woman was
nearly dead with pneumonia, and died
two hours later. At st. Paul her nus
band asked the emigrant agent for
medical aid. The agent told him no
Scandinavian doctor was there, and
American doctors were no good, that he
had better wait until he got to his des-
tination at Park Rapids, Oak. The
mother was able to walk in changing
cars at st. Paul, and could have been
saved if she had had doctor. Mr.. Vote
is left destitute with five small children.
The Manitoba company paid the eX-
penSeS Of the burial of the remains.

LOUISVILLE JOCKEY CLUB.
Much Interest Manifested in the
Coming Meeting.

LOUISVILLE, May 10.-The interest in
the coming meeting of the jockey club
is increasing daily. The grounds are in
perfect order, and fully 600 horses will
take part in the sport. Chevalier's sue
cess over Macbeth and Autocrat has
made the talent more at sea than ever,
and walkover by W. s. Barnes en-
tries in the Blue Ribbon at Lexington
increases the confidence of his friends
in the ability of Gallifet or Lion to win
the Derby stake. Betting at Memphis
and Nashville was immense, and the
greater attractions at Louisville, where
the cracks from all sections meet for
the first time in the racing year, point
to increased wagering Oh all the notable
events. Col. Clark yesterday decided
to have the field free, as usual, OH Derby
day. The people expected it, and, al
though some 10000 people will witness
the race from the free field, the Ken
tuckian has come to think this day he
has right SO to do, and there is much
rejoicing in this city among all classes.
Parties and excursions from all the
cities are being organized, and, with
fine weather, Derby day. with four
great races Oh the card, will furnish the
best sport ever seen, even on the
Churchill downs.

EDMUNDS' ERROR.

As chairman of the senate judici ary
committee Senator EDMUNDS has taken
upon himself the responsibility of de-
laying action i'll the case of Mr.. FULL
ER's nomination for chief justice. 1t is
grave responsibility to assume, and it
is possible that although he is now
pretty well advanced in life, Mr.. Ed
MUNDS will live long enough to regret
his course in this matter. The people
of this country understand thoroughly
the motive which prompted Mr.. Ed
MUNDS to this course, and it will be
treasured up against him.
The public interests stand on one side
In array against party advantage on the
other. The supreme court is over
crowded with business and the assO-
ciate judges are being overworked. The
necessity for prompt action in this case
is so apparent that argument is useless.
If Mr.. FULLER is not fit man for the
place the senate should say SO and give
the president opportunity to send a
more acceptable name to that body. If
MI. FULLER is fit man, then
there should not be moments
hScitdlioii Hlut. 1lldG
is the view the patriot and statesman
would take. But there is another as
pect OF the case, as it is viewed solely
from the standpoint of a narrow-m minded
politician. 1t is that Mr. CLEvELAND's
term expires on the 4th OF next March,
and that in the meantime presidential
election will occur with a chance,
though slight one, that a Republican
president may be elected. The parti-
san sees in this possibility chance to
gain one more partisan judge on a
bench which is already overloaded with
parSisanS. And it is this view of the
case that Senator EDMUNDs takes. He
prefers to have his name go down into
history as a partisan leader rather than
as broad-minded statesman who can
arise above low party consideration in
an emergency which affects the public
welfare.
1t is well enough understood that

INGALLS, RECORD.
What the Files of His Old Paper
VIII Show

KANSAS CITY, May 10.-The nation is
on, the tip-toe of expectation for the
coming speech by Mr.. VOORHEES, May II.
That it will be scorcher goes without
saying, but that it will show UP Ingalls,
s'copperhead" record is almost beyond
belief, but, strange to say, absolutely
true. One of the queereSt discoveries
made was that the war time files of In
gals paper, the AtchinsOn Champion,
have recently disappeared from the his
torlcal society rooms at Topeka. In
1862 it will be remembered that Ingalls,
was on the opposition Republican ticket
for lieutenant governor. He was de-
feated in the election, as his ticket stood
fairly and squarely opposed to the pres
ldent's emancipation proclamation. The
Republican central committee issued an
address to the loyal voters of Kansas,
which closed as follows: eff there is
man in the state who thinks more of
jeff Davis than he does of Lincoln his
vote is certain for this ticket" The re-
suit of the election was disastrous to In
gals. He carried but three counties,
and out Of 2,600 soldier votes he got a
bare 200. On the evening before the
election of 1864 the Leavenworth Con-
sentative said: ''There is not traitor
in Kansas but what will vote for
Thatcher and ingalls, tomorrow.

CORES Attorneys Will Ask for q
Continuance.

Special to the Globe.
REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, May TO-
John CORES, indicted for murder in the
first degree, was brought here from
New Ulm to-day and will plead in the
morning. His counsel have moved for
continuance till the fall term. If this
is denied, the trial will begin next
Wednesday. The skull of Cores
victim, submitted to the grand jury yes
terday, shows marks that convince the
jury that the blows were inflicted from
behind. The bloody spade, found after
the inquest. exactly fits into the scalp
wounds on the top of the skull. The
victims hat, found in the bushes some
days after the murder, also shows evil
dence that the spade did the work.
The prosecution is ANXIOUS to proceed
at once with the trial before decompo-
sition entirely obliterates the scalp
marks. CORES wife and two children,
a girl of twelve and boy of eight,
were before the grand jury, but all pro-
fesSed to know nothing of the affair.
There are no other witnesses to tho
murder. CORES refuses to talk.

THE BALCONY FELL.
Narrow Escape Of Theater-Goers
at Little Falls.

LITTLE FALLS, Mimi, May 1O-While
the Vincent troupe was performing here
tonight the newly constructed balcony
of the Gross opera house came down
with crash, precipitating its heavy
burden to the floor beneath. Strange to
say no one was seriously injured, nor
did any panic occur. The house was
crowded to its fullest seating capacity.
The police had the house vacated. which
was done in very orderly manner, and
it will be put in good condition at once.
1t was the first performance since the
building was remodeled. and the mis-
hap was wholly unexpected to every
one. The performance tonight was to
have been followed by grand ball
given by the Union COrnet band, but
that, too, has been postponed.

MIR. KITTsoN,s DEATH.

Our patriarchs are going away from
us. One by one we have seen them
drop by the wayside until but few are
left.
NORMAN WoLFRED KITTsoN, who
yesterday was Minnesota S Oldest settler,
is to-day numbered among the gallant
band of pioneers who have passed over
the river and are resting under the
shade of the eternal trees.
Though sudden, Commodore KIT
SONS death was not altogether uneX-
pected. He had passed the allotted
span of human life. and for several
years had been in failing health. Still
his demise will be none the less a source
of profound regret to the great body of
our people and to the very large circle
of friends throughout the country to
whom he was known and by whom he
was loved.
Minnesota never had truer friend or
better citizen than NORMAN W. KIT
son. His life has been interviewer with
its history both as a territory and as
state; his energies were directed toward
developing its material resources and to
the upbuiiding of its capital city and
metropolis; every pulsation Of his noble
heart beat in unison with the progress
of the state and in loyal devotion to its
highest interests.
Commodore KITTsON's distinguishing
traits were his generosity, his public
spiritedness and loyalty to his friends.
Wealth in the hands of such a man is
always a public blessing. He was
neither selfish nor sordid in the use of
his money, but while making judicious
investments, as any good business man
would, he coupled with it an effort to
advance the public welfare and to pro-
mote general prosperity. In his deal
ings with his fellow men he was liberal
to fault. He dealt out charity with
ali unstinted hand and in the most I'M
ostentatious manner. But one of the sub
FINEST illustrations of the nobility of his
nature was his fidelity to his friends.
No one ever had cause to hold his
friendship doubtful.
The long and useful life is now ended.
The pioneer who saw the star Of empire
first rise in the Northwest, and whose
days were prolonged until he saw this
fertile section peopled with its millions,
and who contributed so largely during
his eventful life to give shape and force
to surrounding events, has at length lain
down to an eternal rest. He was Oh his
way home to seek repose amidst the
scenes of his early attachments and
early triumphs when death overlook
him. The day was closing and the even
ing shadows were coming gently on
when the curfew of life was tolled.
The night came, but for him it was full
of stars more beautiful than the day,
for his labOrS were ended and he was
resting at home. Mr.. KITTsoN lived
with the affections of friends clustering
around him, and he died honored,
revered and mourned by the people of
| the city and the state in whose develop
ment he had rendered conspicuous
service.
