CIRCUIT COURT CULLINGs. :
Forced OF Moving Train and
- Permanently Injured.


Sarah Mclaughlin has filed suit in
the United States circuit court against
the Northern Pacific Railroad company,
to recover $1,000 damages for perma-
nent injuries sustained while passen-
ger on one of the defendants trains.
She states in her complaint that Nov.
1, 1888, while going from Pendleton,
Ore, to Anoka, Mimi, intending to get
off at the latter station, the train being
an hour and half late, did not stop
but slowed up its speed. She was hus-
tied Off the train by an employe of
the road, hurried out upon the platform,
and generally handled in q rough and
forcible manner. She is sixty-three
years old, and, as result of the violent
treatment she received in being so
rudely hurried from the train, was
bruised aud injured, and her physicians
inform her that she will suffer perma-
nent injury. She was confined to her
bed tor long time after the shock. -
The case of James Peterson against
the Northern Pacific Railroad company,
which has been before Judge Nelson
of the United States ciicuit court for
two days, went to the jury last evening.
Action IS brought o recover damages
for the loss of finger while coupling

stock is estimated to be worth about
100000, and the liabilities are about the
same. Their accounts are mainly with
Eastern firms. They owe the First Ma
tional bank of Dubuque, To-, about S20,-
600, and a firm in New York about
$4,000. They owe no large amounts
to ST. Paul parties save the Ma
tional German American bank.
They have been dealing with this bank
since the commencement of their buSi-
ness, and owe it in various forms about
$4,000. This will not be loss to the
bank. as, in all probability, the firm will
in short time effect settlement with
all creditors and resume business.

assignee, and who is personally ac-
Quainted with members of the firm.
said last evening: sMeSsrS. Wemott,
buQue a year ago last September. They
brought with them testimonials and let
tiers of the high standing and credit
they held while doing business in that
city, where they were an old and reli-
able house. Intending to realize the
benefit of the holiday trade that year,
they bought very literally, and moved
into the building, where they are
now doing business, before it
was finished. Their endeavors to get
their stock out and in shape for public
inspection were in vain-the slow prog
ress of finishing the interior of the store
making it impossible to inspect their
various wares until February, long
after the holiday season was over. This
shock to their calculations was, L think,
what they suffered the most damage
from, and it was probably then that
they ran behindin their account. They
are shreWd, honest and energetic men,
and did all they could to keep apace
with the straits they have been put to.
Their assets will probably equal the
liabilities. and | understand they hope
to come to- some settlement and con-
tinue their business. Their store is one
of the finest in the city. and the goods
they handle are that high grade which,
although credit to the city, are yet for
the few. II is to be regretted that ST.
Paul, with her 200, 900 inhabitants, can
not furnish the business and CONNER
ciai support for such an institution. The
store will be closed pending the settle
meut proposed. or awaiting the an
nouncement of the assignee. The in
ventOry is now being taken, and the
assets and liabilities will be made
known in few dayS."

A COMPLICATED CASE.
Railroad Corporations Seeking to
Acquire More Land.


Gov. McGill, State Auditor Braden
and Attorney General Clapp yesterday
gave hearing to the Duluth q Winni-
peg Railroad company, which is making
application for grant of land upon
it's twenty completed miles Of rail
road. Messrs. W. P. Warner and G. D..
Kerr represented the company, and
the application was opposed by
Messrs A. E. Jackson. Minneapolis,
and Webster, Brainerd, representing
the Brainerd & Northwestern railroad.
Judge Campbell, of the Manitoba road,
was also present, and represented that
company, while he also spoke for the
Duluth & Iron Range road. In 1875 the
Duluth & Iron Range obtained grant
of land to build line from Duluth to
Lake Vermilion. They were unable to
accomplish the work within the time
specified and the matter ran on until
1878, when the Duluth & Winnipeg OBJ
tanned legislative act transferring the
land grant of the Duluth & Iron Range
in the event of their forfeiture. Mean
while, a decision of the supreme
court of the United States was ren-
dered, holding that failure to
comply with the terms of the grant did
not of itself divest the road of its title
or rights. The Duluth & Iron Range
thereupon secured calital to proceed
with their line, completed it and Sc
cured their grant of land. According
to the act transferring the grant of land
to the Duluth & Winnipeg company.
their line had to be completed March 9,
1888, and at the last legislature the
Brainerd & Northwestern secured the
passage of an act whereby the land
would be transferred to them in the
event of the Duluth & Winnipeg falling
to comply with the terms of the statute.
These were the facts of the case pre-
sented to Gov. McGill and his associates
yesterday. Nothing definite was done,
but it was decided that the parties in
terested should meet at Attorney GEN
eral Clapp's Office this morning. They
wi there devise means for having the
judiciary of the state give an expression
of opinion On the legal aspects of the
case.

PENDANTS. Complainant states that
Frederick M. Shepard is the inventor of
a certain make of rubber boots and

fully made and sold rubber boots and
shoes after the plan of the patents.
They have made such goods of i'll
ferior material, to the damage Of the
reputation of the plaintiff, and>although
they have been warned to desist in
their injurious trespasses, they continue
to manufacture the said goods and sell
the same to the ireparable damage and
injury of the plaintiff. They further
demand as relief for the damage sus-
tanned and as future and Immediate
protection of their sale rights in the
patent, that the defendants be re-
strained by writ of injunction from
making or offering for sale any of the
rubber goods described in the
complaint. That the defendants

cause why the relief asked
for should not be granted. and that they
be made to pay over all the profits real
lied from such unlawful infringement
