The Defense OF Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, September 9. - The
six days celebration of the defense
of Baltimore, in our second war with
Great Britain, commenced here today.
The events to be celebrated were of
national Importance and the fact that
one of them, the ombardment of Fort
McHenry, inspired that patriotic out
burst in song, "The Star Spangled
Banner" is sufficient of itself to give
to the Baltimore festival the national
interest which has been recognized in
the participation ofPresidentH Harrison
and the efforts OF the war and navy
department to contribute to it's sue
cess. Never before, in the history of
Baltimore, has such a lavish decora-
Tion been seen. Scarcely business
house or dwelling in the centennial
section, but has been beautified by
the artistic hand of the decorator.
The banner of the Nation and the flag
of the State, the standards of Europe
and the national colors of the coun-
tries of the new world mingle their
brilliant hues in contrast and harmo-
ny. The flags hung across the street
waved hearty welcome to the thous-
ands, who. like living hedges, line
the sidewalks.

An Old Man and Kindly, Brave and
Simple Goes to Rest.
Michael Campbell the old veteran
of hundred wars and who had seen
service in every grand division of the
globe lived out his allotted three
score and ten and died at last of the
injuries he received on Saturday as
noted in the LIGHT of that date. He
was conspicuous on the streets of this
city for the medals and decorations
which adorned his person and was
quite unsettled in mind over domes-
tic troubles. He was very gen tie in
his manners, quiet and inoffensive.
Little is known of his early history,
save that at a very early age he en-
tered the British service and had
been in active campaigns all over
the old world before he joined
the union forces in the late strug-
gle for American nationality. He
was brave soldier, was several times
wounded and refused promotion as
the reward of his valor preferring SER
vice in the ranks. He had his leg
shattered at Antietam and was look
ing for an increase of his miserable
little pension of s. per month when
death met him in the streets Of this
city. His wonderful vitality is shown
in his surviving his injuries nearly
twenty-seven hours, Notwithstanding
his skull was fractured, the fracture
extending over the left frontal and
parietal to the Occipital bones also,
fracture Of second, third and fourth
cervical vertebrae.through the arch,
resulting in total paralysis, and dia-
phragmatic respiration only. He sur
Vived his injuries until yesterday
noon. His funeral occurs today from
the city hospital at 4:3O p. m. under
auspices of Ord Post, G. A. R., of
which deceased was a member,

Murder and Poisoning.

CHICAGO, Sept. "A dispatch from
Tacoma, Washington Territory, says:
yesterday morning Henry Stewart,
of Stewart & Holmes Drug Co., found
his shipping clerk, Frank Clark look
ing strangely and accused him of
being intoxicated. Clark denied the
charge but handed over his keys on
Mr.. Stewards demand. He had
hardly done this before he fell back
wards insensible. Clark was taken to,
a doctor, where it was found that he
was suffering from poison. Search
of the store revealed the fact that a
bottle of atropia had been emptied a
few minutes previously. AS soon as
Clark had been taken to the
DOCTORS office, Mr.. Stewart cross
ed the hall into the room oc-
cupied by Clark, where a woman
about 80 years of age was lying dead
on the bed, with the back part of her
head shot off. Deputy Coroner was
notified, and opened investigation,
at which evidence was given to
show that the woman, Florence
Cross, had been drinking with
a Northern Pacific yardman
and that she took him to Clark's
room. Clark quarreled with the
woman's companion, and finally shot
her dead. Seeing what he had done,
he swallowed the poison. Clark came,
here from st. Paul.

western is now completed to a
point bordering upon the oil fields
of the interior and to within a few
miles of where the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy survey crosses
it, upon the west bank of the
North Platte river. From this
point the lines of these roads radi-
ate northwest and south. Recent
newspaper statements give infor-
nation of large land interests held
by the Illinois Central company,
and the probability of their doing
extensive work through Wyoming
at an early day, The Missouri
Pacific have their surveyors in the
field and are heading toward the
interior. This feature of railroad
construction and connections is
dwelt upon to illustrate the facil-
ity with which the copper and
other mineral of Montana can be
brought to the fuel, the cost of

OF it retard the building up of

and birmingham; more petroleum
than T%itusville and Oil City; more
soda, and white sand and lime

TO PORT RUSSELL.
NShis dispatch was received from Wash.
"SH ington by THE LEADER:

10 his dispatch was received from Wash
w ington by THE LEADER:
in the house to day the senate bill
granting the Cheyenne Street Railway
company right of way across the Fort D.
A Russell military reservation, was passed
by a unanimous vote"
The construction and maintenance of a
line to Camp Carlin and Fort Russell has
been a pet project of the company's since
the conception of the streetcar idea That
such a pur would pay is certain. The
travel between the city and camp and
post is considerable and with cheap trans
portation would be increased not a little.
A Russell line would of necessity in
clude the fair grounds as a station, and
aside from the ordinary traffic the car
company would have several mighty busy
days during race meetings. The fare
would be placed at a low figure and the
Union Pacific would readily abandon its
service at the request of the city transit
| company.
Aside from the fair grounds, camp and
fort, a street railway line to the boulevard
northwesterly would come to be a very
profitable branch, for the city is growing
in that direction. There are two addi-
tons in the neighborhood of the fair
| grounds almost ready for the market, and
it is understood that their owners will
offer extraordinary inducements to build
ers.
That the Street Railway company has
gone to the trouble of securing right of
way across the Russell reservation is
pretty good evidence that the corporation
means business and it is possible that
work on the line will at an
early date.
1t is certain that the street line will be
extended so soon as the frost leaves the
earth. Every effort is being made by
interesting persons to induce the CON
struction of an east end line and a branch
to Lake Minnehaha and perhaps beyond
is almost assured. When the shops are
running and the viaduct completed a line
to the south side will be an absolute ne

"A GREAT COMBINE.


NShe Omaha Bee says that the Union
w Pacific is about to conclude negotia-
tons for another combine, and it is stated
that arrangements have already been COM
pleted save as to a few details. In this
combination it ties up with the Chicago 4
Alton, and will have a through train ser
vice between Cheyenne and Chicago in
the very near future. The plan is similar
to that under which a combination was
entered into between the Union Pacific
and the Chicago & Northwestern. The
terms of the Alton agreement. it is stated.
ann to run through trains between Chicago
and Cheyenne. via Kansas City and Den
yer. The trains will be furnished Jointly
by both roads. An official in speaking of
this matter said:
THE Union Pacific is now doing about
what it should have done years CO.. OF
course, in early days, it had no compet-
itor in the western circuit, but at the
time the Burlington crossed the Missouri
it must have been evident to the Union
Pacific management hat in the Burling-
ton a dangerous competitor existed. Had
the Union Pacific then entered into a
combination with any OF the Iowa roads,
it would have been a death blow to the
Burlington road. for the reason that by
having through service the traffic of the
Burlington between Chicago and the Mis-
souri, river would have been seriously i'm
paired. But it is too late now to look at
the situation in this light. The fact of
the matter is that by combining With the
Chicago & Northwestern and the Chicago
4 Alton, a large volume of valuable
traffic is secured that otherwise might re-
vert to the various competitive lines"
In other sources it is learned that
should the interstate commission institute
a uniform classification, the combine will
evidently be arranged so as to include the
freight as well as the passenger traffic. It
is conceded hat the more districts
that can be formed in conveying freight
under the Classification method the greater
earnings will result. But as to the sec
ond combination of the Union Pacific the
officials connected with the deal declined
to state the terms of the deal and even
refused to say anything aside from the
fact that the terms for such service had
been agreed upon by the Union Pacific
and the other road mentioned. 1t is
stated that the combination trains will
likely TO be put on via the new route
about March |.
The Burlington is preparing for quick
service between Chicago and Denver in
order to off set the combine of the Union
Pacific and Chicago & Northwestern in
that direction.

WYOMING ALL RIGHT.

1--WE have not lately come across a
no. more compact presentation Of
Wyoming's claims to statehood than are
found in a special telegram which was
sent from here and published in the Chi
eago Tribune Of last Monday. 1t is well
worthy Of a wide circulation. The tele-
gram Is as follows: ITO the outsider,
whose knowledge off Wyoming is limited
to the facts that the area of the territory
is 9 1000 square miles and the population
about 90, 900, or one person to each square
mile, it is perhaps a natural conclusion
that Wyoming had better wait for the
privilege OF statehood until she has at
least two people to the square mile to en-
Joy it. But the Wyomingites won't have
it that way, and, with the exception of
Governor Moonlight, every individual of
the 90, 900 is for statehood. The Illinoisan
or Nebraskan who attempts to cough
down a Wyomingite with the argument
that Wyoming hasn't population enough
to warrant statehood will be confronted
with the fact that Illinois was admitted
with less than $4,000 population, Ne
braska with GO, 1000, Colorado with Ga, 900,
Oregon with 10000, and Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Missouri, Alabama and Louisiana
with about $4,000 each. The Wyoming
lite will also proudly advance the argument
that the credit of Wyoming is better to-
day than that of half the states; that the
territorial bonds recently issued for the
building of public buildings sold in Chi.
cage at a premium Of 10 per cent.
Perhaps no state formerly a territory
was so well prepared for statehood at the
time OF its admission as Wyoming is at
the present time. The capitol building
at Cheyenne, completed and occupied, is
a better building than a score of the
states now have, and would do credit to
any commonwealth in the world. The
university building at Laramie is a mag
nifcent structure, fully equipped with all
the requirements of a modern educational
establishment, a territorial penitentiary is
almost completed at Rawlins, an insane
asylum at Evanston, and a deaf and
dumb asylum and a poor farm are located
at other towns. With all Of these insti-
t~utions completed the Indebtedness Of the
! territory will be but $1,000 O0.
