70 any conversions having been
made among the democratic fol-
- lowers of Mr.. Randall-they are
still as obstinate as the one man
who abused the other eleven on
the jury because they would not
agree with him. but is owing
principally to a revolt in the re-
publican ranks, against the high
protection policy. This revolt is
led by Mr.. Nelson, or Minnesota,
who made one OF the strongest
revenue reform speeches yet heard
in the House, Thursday. He went
over the whole question in a mas
terly manner; he favors the reten-
ton of the internal revenue taxes,
and a general lowering of the tar
if. In regard to high wages and
high tariff, he said; at has been
the fashion to ascribe the higher
wages of this country to the tariff.
I consider that a false pretense.
England has free trade, while Aus
tris, Germany, Italy and France
have protection, and yet wages
are much higher in England than
in either of the other countries.
The main case of the low wages in
Europe, is to be found in the den

The number of republicans who
practically agree with Mr.. Nelson,

not allow themselves to be shipped

The Plaintiff wins the Bon
Homme County Bond Case.
Special to the Globe.
YANKTON, Dak.. Nov, 26.-The cele-
brated Bon Homme county bond case
which has occupied the courts for ten
years, was decided mere to-day in the
district court in favor of the plaintiff.
William A. Brown, of Brooklyn, n. Y.
in 1877 purchased $4,000 worth of Bon
homme county bonds, running ten years
at 10 per cent interest. At the eXpira-
tion of three years the county refused
to pay any more interest, and action
was ultimately brought to recover it.
Meanwhile the bonds have fallen due,
so that the action finally involved inter-
est and the face of the bonds. Pay
ment was resisted by the county upon
the technicality that the bonds were is
sued by the chairman Of the board of
commissioners and the county clerk
without the evidence of the cO-Opera-
ton of the full board. 1t was shown
in evidence as matter of record, and
that the bonds were issued for the pur-
pose OF funding the indebtedness of
Bonhomme county and taking up the
outstanding warrants of the county. 1t
was further shown that all outstanding
warrants were taken up, and that they
were brought in bundle into the pres
ence of the county commissioners and
were counted by committee of eX-
pertS, and were found to correspond in
their total with the total of bonds
issued, and then the warrants were
burned. 1t was further shown that the
county had for three years recognized
the legality of the bonds by levying
and collection of taxes in payment of
the interest. Upon these facts the
court directed a verdict in behalf of
plaintiff. The amount recovered by
Mr. Brown does not represent the en-
tire liability of the county, but his case
was regarded as test case. There was
issued at that time 1900 in funding
bonds. only $4,000 of which were taken
by MIR. Brown, the balance being sold
to other parties. The entire liability of
the county, under the verdict face of
the bonds due, with accrued interest, is
about $4,000.

WINNIPEG, Man, Nov. 26.-James G.
Carnie, one of the Hudson Bay COM
pany's chief factors in Arctic circles. ar
rived here yesterday and reports that
he met Lord Lonsdale two months ago
away up in the Arctic circle. He wac
travelling with two Eskimo guides
and one personal attendant. His En-
giSh servant mad left him three weeks
before, and he was pushing northward
as rapidly as possible. He walked all
day and displayed such remarkable en-
durance that natives regard HIM as
prodigy, and refer to him as the 'man
who walks fast" He even tires his
guidesout. He spoke confidently of being
able, by his simple mode Of travelling,
to reach the North pole if his attendants
would pierce farther north than any
white man had ever gone. Nearly all
the provisions he took with him were
exhausted, and as he would soon pass
the last Hudson bay post in the country
he would have to rely for existence
upon such food as the natives eat. He
was in good health, though he said he
was sure he was not nearly so fat as
when he started. Lord LonSdale was
provided with an Eskimo fur suit when
MIR. Carnie met him. Shortly after
leaving York Factory he met with an
accident. in which small bone
in his lefs arm was fractured.
He had the arm und up, and when
Carnie saw him he was much better.
He spoke of being somewhat lonesome,
as he had no one to talk his own lam
guage freely with. Carnie said he was
an excellent shot. and had numberless
specimens of birds and beasts of the is
olated country through which he is
prospecting. He is out in the interest
of the Scottish Naturalist Society of
Edinburgh to obtain specimens of birds
and beasts. and to learn more minutely
the habits of animals and of the feath-
cred tribe inhabiting the northern re-
gions. Besides looking after the habits
of animals, he is inquiring into the
habits and customs of the Indians, and
has already learned portions of their
language. so that English society may
be prepared for the worst on his return.
Lonsdale spoke, when passing through
Winnipeg, of returning this month, and
possibly not for two years. He told
Carnie he would probably return via the
Yukon country through Alaska.

JAMESTOWN, Dak., Nov. 26.-After
occupying the attention of the court for
nearly a week the case of A. H. Glaspell
VS.. The Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany was concluded to-day, when the
jury returned verdict in favor of the
plaintiff for S12, ,545.43. In 1888 Glaspell,
resident of Chicago, purchased
through and upon the representations
of the company's local agents here 1900
acres of railroad lands in Wells county.
The lands were afterwards found to be
practically worthless, and Glaspell
sued for $4,000, the amount which he
claimed the lands would now be worth
had they been as represented. The
company did not endeavor to prove the
value of the land, but alleged that local
agents have had no authority to sell or
give title to company's land, and that
their authority is limited to exhibiting
lands and furnishing such information
as is obtainable at headquarters, and
that the company's non-Iiability is ex-
pressly stipulated in all contracts.
John G. Bullitt. st. Paul, and John S.
Wilson, Jamestown, appeared for the
company. S. l.. Glaspel, johnson Nick
ems and E. W. Camp for the plaintiff.
The case will be appealed. This is the
first case of the kind the company has
had and they fear the establishment of
a precedent.

HELENA. Mont, Nov. 26.-The skele-

cabin in Lincoln Gulch, Deer Lodge
county, Friday. All the flesh had been
eaten from the bones, and the hands
and head were severed from the body.
Robinson had not been seen alive for
three weeks. Ten days ago two men
named Lavelle and Strauss, in passing
by Robinson's hut, saw COW inside the
cabin and drove her out, but saw moth
ing of Robinson's body, though it was
probably there at the time covered up
by straw. On the table was found some
opium, to the use OF which Robinson
was addicted, and it is supposed he took
an overdose and became unconscious,
when mountain lions entered the cabin
and ate his flesh. He was regarded in
the vicinity as somewhat insane. His
parents and a sister live in California
and brother in Lincoln Gulch.

SCITUATE, Mass, Nov. 26.-The large
fishing schooner Edward Norton. from
Boston, went ashore on First Cliff point
at $50 last night and Immediately went
to pieces. Out of crew of sixteen men,
fifteen were drowned. One man, named
Allen, clung to the vessel, and when the
tide left her this morning he succeeded
in reaching the shore. The vessel was
discovered by the midnight patrol of the
der assistance. She lies bottom up and
is complete wreck. She is owned by
StubbS d Co., of Boston.
The following is partial list of those
lost by the wrecking of the schooner
Edward Norton. which went to pieces
last night: Capt. Frank Curran and his
fOurteen-year-old son, Michael, Nc
Dougall, Patrick Mullaly, Michael Cur
ran. James Brown, d. Lafferty. Law
renee Flaharty, John Hernish, Laurence
Bennett (colored), Archie Campbell.
There were four or five other sailors on
board whose names cannot yet be ascer-
tanned. Laurence Allen is the only
survivor. The seaman Allen, the sole
survivor of the crew of the wrecked
fisherman, had remarkable escape.
The weather was so thick that it was
impossible to see hundred yards, and
the vessels were not discovered
until nearly midnight. 1t was
early daylight when the survivor was
seen to crawl out from under her hull.
He was very weak from exposure and
could give but little information. He
said the vessel came in by Peaked Hill
bars on Sunday morning, and Steered
northwest for Boston against the wishes
of the crew, who proposed to put in to
Provincetown. 1t was terrible day.
AS near as he could tell they struck be-
tween 5 and o'clock Sunday afternoon
and almost Immediately capsized. He
was down below, and was the only one
saved. He says she carried fifteen men
and a boy. After the wreck was dis
covered he was still under her hull and
was nearly drowned. He could barely
keep his head out of water, but could
plainly hear the voices of those on the
beach, and had to wait hours till the sea
left her, when he had barely strength to
crawl out. He was taken to the resi-

CoLD-BLooDED MURDER.
Frank Eich's Body Found Shortly
After His Death.

h1OcE HIS DCdths
Special to the Globe.
LITTLE FALLS, MIMI. Nov. 26.-The
unknown murderer of Frank Eich, near
Royalton last Saturday, had been hang
ing about that village two or three
days previous to committing the crime.
The murdered man, Mr.. Eich, was an
inOffensive citizen and of good repute
RoyaltOn with load of fowls and other
staples to dispose of for Thanksgiving.
The murderer asked Mr.. Eich if he
could ride with him when the latter
started for home, and permission was
readily granted. Upon arriving near
the Wakefield farm, two miles from
town, the assassin suddenly drew q
pistol and fired, the bullet passing
through his victims neck, severing the
spinal cord. The body fell from the
wagon, and the murderer dragged it into
a clump of bushes about five rods from
the highway, ritied his victims pockets
and, jumping into the wagon, drove
rapidly away. Mr.. Eich's team was
one of the most valuable in this section.
and it is thought the murderer is one of
a gang of horse thieves from the Rainy
lake region, as he took that direction.
The body was found by young man
named Wakefield, who, with his dog,
had been out hunting. The dog struck
the trail toward the bushes, and the
young man seeing blood in the road, fol-
lowed and found the body still warm.
The purchases made by Mr.. Eich in
Royalton were found in the fields and
scattered along the highway. Active
pursuit of the scoundrel is being made,
and the citizens of Royalton and vicinity
are so much excited over this cold
bIooded affair that they would make
short work with the murdererif caught.
Sheriff Rasicot, of this city, and the
officers and citizens of Royalton are
securing the country in pursuit of the
villain.

TWO KILLED OUTRIGHT.
Serious Smashup on the Rio
Grande Tracks,


DENVER, Nov. pa fatal accident
occurred on the Denver & Rio Grande
at a little station named Hustled, fifteen
miles north of Colorado, Springs, this
morning, by which two men were killed
and several fatally injured. The Rock
Island uses the track of the Rio Grande
from Colorado Springs to Denver. The
Salt Lake express on the Rio Grande
pulled out of Palmers Lake eight min
utes late. and was laundering down the
"Divide" at speed of thirty miles an
hour. One mile south of Hustled the
track makes long curve, on tnrning
which the engineer was Mortified to see
rapidly approaching Rock Island ex-
press, The engineers and fremen on
both trains jumped, and moment
afterWard the engines came together
with a laundering crash, telesc0p-
ing the cars of both trains,
and rendering them a mass
of broken timbers and iron. By the up
setting of the stove in the Rio Grande
baggage car the train was set on fire,
and before it could be extinguished
three cars were consumed, but fOrtu-
nateIy no one was imprisoned in them.
Investigation showed only two of the
trainmen had been killed, w. II. Phillips,
the express messenger, and j. III. Finn,
baggage master, both of the Rock Island.
The wounded are: Martin Munroe,
engineer of the Rio Grande, slight frac-
ture in arm and badly hurt internally,
will probably die; Joseph Berry. en-
gineer of the Rock Island, head cut and
badly bruised; Harry Smith, fireman,
badly scalded and head cut. The tire-
man of the Rio Grande train received
fatal injuries. Several others were
more or less injured, but not seriously.
The responsibility, it is claimed, rests
with the train dispatcher.

igan avenue to Chelsea, is almost en-
tirely carried away. The beach is
streWn for miles with debris. The
strong wind had clear sweep at the
water in the thoroughfare, and it rolled
towards Baltic avenue in most alarming
volumes. Residents along the greater
part of the avenue were compelled to
use boats to get away from their flooded
