THAT RAILROAD MEETING.

Sunday evening E. G. Ledyard ar
| rived from Sioux Falls and announced
that on the following evening meet
ing would be held in Hurley to take
steps looking to the immediate extern
sion of the Manitoba railroad from
Sioux Falls to Yankton. Ilandbills
were circulated Monday throughout
the country tributary to Hurley setting
forth the fact that Mr.. Grigsby of
Sioux Falls wished to talk with the
people on the questions of temporary
capital" and Manitoba railroad"
The citizens showed the interest they
felt in this matter by turning out
large audience to listen to what their
Sioux Falls friend might have to say.
After telling Of the trials and tribula-
tions through which the Queen City
had been obliged to pass in order to Sc
cure the railroad facilities she now
possessed, he said the time had come
when they must have some western ex-
tensions, and that as the Manitoba Off
cials had refused to extend their line to
4ankton at the present time it became
necessary that those interested along the
line should take hold of the matter.
and that Sioux Falls was ready to fur
nish $4,000 towards paying for the
grading. From the Sioux Falls stock
yards, to which point the road Is al
ready ironed, an air line to Yankton
would pass within three-quarters of a
mile of Hurley, and the gentleman felt
certain that with a little exertion on
the part of the citizens of this vicinity
the road could be secured for Hurley.
| Closing on the railroad feature of the
meeting, Mr.. Grigshy set fourth the
many advantages to be derived by the
people southeastern Dakota by loca-
ting the temporary capital at Sioux
Falls, and of course showed how this
portion of Turner county, with its
Manitoba railroad completed. would
come in for q lions share of the bene-
| fits.
Now, the Manitoba railroad is one of
the things that Hurley wants, and it's
citizens are ready, as they ever have
been, to do all in their power to aid in
securing that line passage through
Turner county, provided Hurley is
made station on that line. But such
active work being done just previous
to election has suspicious look, to say
the least. There are ways by which
Sioux Falls can convince the people
that there is no sinister motive in their
present activity along this line, (and at
other points in the county,, and one of
these would be for them to deposit
with the town board of Hurley good
and sufficient bond in the sum Of $780,
OCO that they will have trains running
over this line from Sioux Falls to
Yankton, by January 1. 1891. With
such a bond on deposit no one could
charge that Sioux Falls was building
"paper railroads" for the purpose of Sc
curing votes for that city for the tenn
porary capital.

"A baltimore and Ohio Engineer Fined
for Running His Train Too Fast.

In the Police Court this morning Thomas c.
Hopkins, an engineer on the Baltimore and
ONO railroad. was charged with running his
train at a rate of speed greater than IL miles
an hour. MIR. Colbert, for the defendant, en-
tered plea Of not guilty. Lieut. Teeple, Ser
geants McTaggart and Wall and officer Curtis
appeared as witnesses for the prosecution.
Their testimony was to the effect that quarter
mile stretch had been measured between 9Th
and 9th streets. Lieut. Teeple and Sergeant
McTaggart stood at point near 9TH street,
while Sergeant Wall and Officer Curtis took
positions at each end of the quarter stretch.
When the train, which was an incoming one.
reached the 9th-street end Of the stretch Seret
Wall dropped his handkerchief and Officer Cur
tbs dropped his when ii reached the 5th street
end. Lieut.. Teeple had a stop-watch which
indicated that the train made the time in 81
seconds.
TIMING TRAINS AND TIMING RACE HORSES.
The engineer, in giving his testimony,
argued that the time could not be taken in
that way and Mr.. shillington referred to the
