The Manitoba's Finances.

The Boston stockholders of the Mani
toba are compelled to look abroad for
anything like reasSuring evidence as
TO the future prosperity of the road.
The Boston Gazette refers to the Mani
toba as a bubble which must shortly be
pricked. unless, as it remarks, the sta
tistics of earnings, fixed charges, etc.,
are sadly at fault. AS matter of fact,
the Manitoba has in very short time
built long through line of railroad,
and now has a length of over 1000 mites.
During the progress of construction
there was an era OF low expenses and
large miscellaneous income. Since con-,
structiOn ceased the earnings have
fallen off alarmingly, which, however.
was to have been expected in some.
measure. For the year ending Juue 80.
1889, gross earnings were only $780,
600; in the preceding year they were
$4,000 Notwithstanding the fact
that the mileage in operation during
the latter year was considerably in
creased from that of the year previous.
Bad wheat yields In Dakota and Mime
sofa had good deal to do with the poor
showing, as also had the falling off in
construction freight. A new fiscal year
opened on July l, 1889, and in the first
month the gross earnings fell off $780,
600. The outlook for earnings is con-
siderably more encouraging this year,
the average wheat crops in Dakota
and Northern Minnesota, in fact, over
the entire district traversed by the
road. being good. The Manitoba is
laboring under an enormous expense
burden. The annual interest is
in excess of S3,0O0,OO0, and add
ed to this is S1,200,0O0 in
dividends. The question arises whether
a road earning only s., COO, 600, or less in
the current year, can earn IS. 600. 600 net

but about S2,700 per mile. Allowing

dents; George B. Holt, secretary, and

A general conference of all charitable
associations of the city was called for
Oct. IA, at Dyer's hall, where plan for
helping the city poor during the winter
will be mapped out.
A vote of thanks was rendered to the
efficient secretary. George d. Holt, for
his untiring efforts in the cause of the
association. His report was the prin-
cipal feature of the session. 1t shows
that of the 2,154 applicants for assist
were new and l. 1S3 recurrent, and Of
this number sos really needed work
rather than assistance, an increase of
.0S5 over last year. Ninety-tWO thou
sandths of all the cases that came to the
office were fraudulent and undeserving.
The largest proportion of applications
come from men, 1874 men have applied
for assistance, as against 637 women
during the year. Mr.. Holt attributes
this fact to the greater Willingness of
women to endure hardships without
complaint. Of the chief causes of need
.475 was caused by lack of employment.
Intemperance and shiftlessnesS, 800;
sickness, .06: accident. oil; insanity,

different applicants 30 were Amer

Polish, 1925 Scandinavians, .02 Scotch.
OF this number forty-seven could not
read or write, and for the most part
were capable of doing only the most or
binary sort Of work.
A large proportion of applications
comes from families, and Mr.. Holt de-
clareS that early, ill-adviSed and luStful
marriages are largely responsible for
the suffering. He advised the estab-
liShment of a regularly incorporated
Dime Savings and Loan association,
with women collectors. like similar in
situations doing much good in Indianap-
oils and New York.
The employment bureau Of the So
ciety registered 1,022 individual appli-
cants for employment, and distributed
odd jobs to some 400 women and 200 men,
work valued conservatively at $4,000.
Secretary Holt has during the year as
sisted 1913 families to groceries, wood,
coal, rent and loans; IS persons to trans
portation; IA persons to medicines; 663
persons to meal or meals and lodgings,
at a cost of S664.27.

MUST GO UNDERGROUND.
The City Wires Will Be Conducted
mediately.

Immediately.
Representatives of several under
ground wire and cable companies were
before the council committee on fire de-
partment yesterday, urging the merit
of their various materials. The Okan-
lite and the Patterson, a lead-covered
cable, seemed to find the most favor in
the eyes of the aldermen, and were also
favorably regarded by Supt. Morrison,
of the police and fire alarm telegraph
and Chief StetsOn. The matter was
finally left in their hands, and series
of experiments and tests looking to the
selection of the cable best fitted for the
use of the two departments will be be-
gun in few days. The police and fire
alarm telegraph systems of the city will
require about five miles of cables of diff
ferent sizes.
Chief Stetson, who has recently re-
turned from the annual convention of
fire engineers at Kansas City, read to
the committee series of resolutions
adopted by the convention setting forth
that the present system of overhead
wiring is exceedingly dangerous to fire
men, and, whereas, the underground
system is perfectly safe and entirely sat-
isfactory, fire chiefs all over the country
should use every endeavor to have cleo
trio light an powers put under ground,
and never should unnecessarily en-
danger the lives of their men by send
ing them among charged wires.

POINTS IN PEMBINA.
Railroad Companies Believed to
Be Bluffing-Politics.

Special to the Globe.
HAMILTON, n. D., Sept. ga good
deal of gossip is going on anent rail
road to Cavalier and to Walhalla. in
this county. John Beechel and w. n.
F. Appleton have been moving the
Northern Pacific to put in road, and,
relying on a bond given by the farmers
in the district, promising cents a
bushel on all wheat they should ship
for two years, it is said the Northern
pacific is seriously considering the mat
ter. At Cavalier, Mr.. Beechel wants
the townsite to be placed on
his farm, about mile from the
present town, at which the res
idents are ill pleased. Meantime
Foley Bros. are, with two squads of
men, busy making one for the Manitoba.
The general impression is that both
companies are bluffing, and it will end
with neither coming to Cavalier and
WaIhalla. No doubt the land is about
the best in the Red River Valley. In
politics. John Stradleman who is run
ming for the legislature in the second
district is very busy, but while he will
pull good many German votes, he is
comparatively unknown. It's believed
that Norton and Brindleson, Democrats,
will be successful. A. F. Appleton.
Democrat. is the popular candidate for
senator for this district.
