CAUGHT IN tn e CORRIDOR.
The hotels yesterday were filed with
anxious Duluthians, the majority of
whom were keeping an eye on the SEN
| ate's proceedings. A. NJ. Miller vas
seen walking around the rotunda of The
Ryan, now with this man, now with
| that, putting in some earnest pleas for
| the passage of the bill. Hon. W. w.
| BillsOn was on the jump, and @. E.
Shannon ON the dead rustic. Judges.
f. White strolled around the Ryan,
hobnobbing with his many friends, tell
| ing amusing poker stories and moraliz-
ing on the compatibility of mankind at
large. "For several TERMS" said the
| genial judge, II was in the Michigan
senate, and never heard a suggestion
of bribery all the time [ lived at Lam
| sing. Such thing was unheard of, and
| if hint of the kind had been heard it
| would have reused the legislature to
| promptly unearth it. There is rarely
| much smoke without some fire." With
| these words the judge went up to sup

@. d'Autremont Jr. rushed into the
Ryan early yesterday morning, swore
at everything in general, took breakfast
and disappeared in the direction of the
court house.
Calvin Whitley, of Duluth. is in the
city. He has just returned from Wash
ington, where he got patent through
| for new scheme of oiling the aXles of
cars on railroads. Mr.. Whiteley said:
1.-The way the aXleS are oiled at present
is this: A quantity of waste is put into
the box, which acts as a sort of wick.
drawing up the oil. The principal cause
of hot boxes is the grit which gets into
the waste. This patent of mine land
he showed a full-siZed model con-
sists of strip of felt fitted to wrought
iron frame, which fits into the Oil box.
The felt swings on weighted lever,
causing it always to press lightly
against the axle; it acts as wick, and
prevents any grit from touching the
axle, thereby doing away with hot
boxes. | offer it to any road for trial
free of charge. 1t is now being tried
on the Canadian Pacific, Burlington,
Baltimore & Ohio and Vermont Cen
trail. The engineers and managers who
have tested it all say that so far as they
can see it is perfect success. 1t has
scarcely had long enough test yet, but
has proved remarkably successful SO
far as it has been tried. Mr.. McMurrin,
of the Northern Pacific, tells me there
is a gold mine in it, and | am glad ]
have got my patent through. A man
stole it from me before | got my patent,
and L had a big law suit with him; l
beat him at last. and am pushing it for
all there is in it,

Gen. M. S. Chandler seated himself in

About two weeks ago, while every
body was chewing up the names of
William Pitt Murray and o. E. Holman
in regard to the chaos following their
election for the same Office, j. w. Pieha
and Eugene GibDertOn, eX-deputy
sheriffS of this county, entered upon a
wager whereby the former. a supporter
of Murray, should biacken the latter's
shoes in case Mr.. Murray was defeated,
and the other would undergo the same
humiliation in case Of Mr.. 'Holman'S de-
feat. As soon as arrangements could
be made after the announcement in the
morning papers that Mr.. Holman had
been declared the corporation attorney,
the pair retired to the Clifton hotel, fol-
lowed by crowd of fifty Joking friends.
Picha, loaded for bear with genuine
boOtblack box, upon which was pasted
marriage and beer license and several
other permits. got down on his knees,
and, with much granting and sweating,
put the shine all over Gibberton's acre
lots, including border of black on the
bottom of his trousers. The crowd,
which had grown very dry from laugh
ing and watching the show, took an in
vent0ry of the bar at the expense of Mr..
Picha.

County Auditor George n. La Vague
and Sheriff Paul Sharvy, of st. Louis

his election as register. Paul Sharvy
thinking it probable he may have job
or two of the kind on hand before long.

S. D., registered at the Ryan with an
air of evident relief, having had two
ladies and two children on his hands all
the way from Jamestown-Mrs.L l.. B.

quisite joy as he got the ladies up stairs

two.
