CORY necessitated the transferring of
passengers from one side of the Howard
tanning culvert. A cloud-burst at

Nickel Plate tracks aud stopped all
trains. This morning west-bound
freight on the Nickel Plate went
through a bridge near Crayton, in this

thirty feet high. The floods had washed
out the foundations, ana when Engl-
neer Daniel Ellis struck the bridge
his engine and almost the entire train
went down into the sweeping torrent.
Ellis was caught under the submerged
engine. but his brave fireman, William
Nicholson, although badly hurt himself,
was able, through superhuman effort.
to relieve his engineer and got him ON
top of the wreck, and was assisted in
his labors by Head Brakeman William
Johnston, who was also badly hurt. The
three men were taken off the wreck and
attended by physicians. The engineer
is badly hurt and may not recover.
Over twenty-five cars tumbled into the
flood. The Nickel Plate trains are run

Excitement Over an Address by
Ben Terrell.
Special to the Globe.

Special TO the GloDe.
MILBANK, s. ID, May 23.-Ben Ter
rell, National alliance lecturer, ad-
dressed an immense gathering of farm
ers here this afternoon; the opera house
was packed. 1t was the first of a series
of fourteen lectures to be delivered IN
the state. Terrell is an able, eloquent
and forcible speaker. .syet his language
is so plain and simple as to be quickly
comprehended by all. He urged the
farmers to study the great economic
questions of the day. and to organize for
their mutual protection and benefit.
He would not advise the alliance to
make independent nominations unless
the old parties failed to put in men who
would represent their principles, but, if
they failed to do so then make an inde-
pendent move. His remarks were re-
ceived with great enthusiasm, and there
very strong and growing sentiment
among the farmers to organize for their
mutual benefit, and to act independently
of the old political party, which has
hitherto run things for the benefit of
the party machine without consulting
the interests of the farmers. This ad-
dress of the national alliance lecturer
may properly be considered the OPEN
ing gun of the campaign in South Da-
kota, which will probably result in
shaking up the state politically as was
never before witnessed. Republican
politicians evince great anxiety and
uneasiness over the address, and fear
that an independent farmers move is

SENT ANONYMOUS LETTERS
And Paid the Penalty With His
Life,

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-The trial
of D. HI. Arnold for the murder of s.
W. Garness last January closed last
night. and resulted in the acquittal of
the defendant. The case has been in
progress more than week past, and
has created much public interest. Ar
mold is prominent resident of COlusa
county, and was formerly the sheriff
there. Last fan a number Of anonymous
circulars were distributed among the
best citizens of COlusa, containing cal
umnies against members OF Arnold's
family, and particularly against Mrs.
Arnold. Arnold labored incessantly to
discover the author of the circulars, and
among the persons who claimed to be
his friends, and offered assistance In
tracing the authorship of the circulars
was S. W. Garness, young man of this
city. Finally Arnold became convinced
that Garness was false friend and was
himself the author of the circulars. The
men met on the street here last January
and went into private room of sa-
loon together, where Arnold charged
Garness with being respons ible for the
circulars. The latter made defiant re-
ply and according to ArnOld'S teStl-
mony) made motion to draw revOlv-
er. Arnold then drew his revolver and
fired four times, inflicting wounds
which resulted in Garness' death few
hours later. 1t was developed during
the trial that GarneSs was the author of
the circulars and that he had written
and distributed them either for the pur-
pose of blackmail Or with the intention
of breaking up Arnold's home.

ing for Something to Turn Up.
The interview of General Passenger
Agent Kenyon, published in the GLOBE
yesterday, showing in what way pas
senger rate wars could be obviated in
the future, created widespread COM
ment in railroad circles. From what
was said by the various officials, it is,
however, questionable whether Mr..
KenyOn'S scheme will ever be agreed
to. AS Assistant General Passenger
Agent Gilfllan, Of the Duluth road,
puts it.: "Kenyon's scheme, theoretical
Iy, is good one; practically, the roads
will never agree to il. There are too
many roads to get them down to an
agreement and abide by it. l do not eX-
pect that the St. Paul-Chicago lines will
be able to agree to any proper adjust
ment of rates, and these 'cut wars may
be looked for at intervals" There was
not an official who did not desire some
action be taken to readjuSt the present
decentralization in rates, but every one,
when asked, Why not take the initia-
tive? said in substance: "It's no use.
We call meeting, the various roads are
represented, but nothing can be accom-
plished. All the roads appear to have
an Ak to grind, and each road wants its
ak attended to first. The attitude of
each road just now Is a waiting one.
They are adopting the Micawber policy
waiting for something to turn up
How long they will wait is difficult to
foresee." Unless something is done
soon the summer passenger traffic will
be upon US in all its glory. A S6-round-
trip rate between st. Paul and Chicago
is much below the value of the services
rendered, and a depleted treasury will
be reported by all the roads unless
prompt steps are taken to remedy the
present foOlhardy policy of doing busi-

There were no changes made in West

Manitoba Banks Discount Silver
From the States.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., May Excepting
in the case Of mutilated silver the OBJ
ject of the banks deciding to charge a
heavy discount on United States silver
is not apparent. Not much United
States silver is in circulation here. The
quantities of dollar coins that were
shipped here couple of years ago have
so diminished on account of the discount
charged by merchants that one is now
seldom seen. Several lots of mutilated
coin have been sent here from New
York and circulated in small quantities
by parties who purchased them at a
nominal rate on the dollar, it not being
generally known here that such
coins are worthless in the states.
This is the only grievance the
banks or merchants have and there is
certainly an ulterior motive in this
move of the banks, as the arrangement
was mooted, and subsequently carried
through by the manager of the Domin-
ion Government Savings bank. Can It
be possible that the government insti-
tuted the action as measure of retail
alton for the recent agitation against
Canadian silver in st. Paul and Mime
apolis? Doubtless an affirmative an
swer to this question would not be far

HENDERSON, Minn., May 23.-An at
tempted murder and suicide took place
in this county to-day. T. j. Mcmahon.
a prominent young farmer of Washing
ton Lake township, living near Green
Isle, shot his wife and then attempted
to take his own life. 1t appears that his
wife left him last winter and went to
live with her parents in the town of
Faxon and refused to live with him,
though implored many times. Mcmahon
became desperate over her constant re-
fusal to live with him. and this morning
went to his father-in-law's place, about
eight miles away, and, after kissing
one of his little children, went
to his wife and asked her
for the last time to return home and
live with him, and upon her refusal
drew his revolver and shot twice, both
bullets taking effect In her body.
Thinking she was dead he left her and
went directly to his home. laid down on
the bed, placed the pistol over his
heart and fired twice. He was just IN
the act of shooting third time when
his brother rushed into the room and
took the weapon away. He will die.
The whole affair seems to have been
premeditated, as he made his will on
Sunday, and was out practicing with

He Says the Democrats Can Beat
Merriam.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, May 23.-W. M. Todd,
formerly deputy insurance commission
er, is in the city, and when asked whom
the Republicans would nominate for
governor, replied: merriam, of course.
The other candidates are afraid of his
barrel, as they know he will use it.
There are a number who have aspira-
tions. but the convention precludes any
organization on their part. This may
rebound to Merriam'S credit as schem-
er, but it will lose votes for him at the
polls. Under this Australian syste m
a number of Republicans will vote for
a Democrat, if the right man is NOM
mated, and the Democrats never had a
better chance to elect governor than
they have this fall. From the present
outlook / think that the Democratic
nomination is between Durant, of Still
water, and Wilson, of Winona. In case
it becomes necessary to effect a CON-
promise, either Lochren. of Minneapo-
lis, or Severance. of MankatO, may be
chosen. The later is very popular, and
would make strong run. Judge LOch-
ren could carry Aennepin county by
1000 majority. Merriam has no chance
of carrying Ramsey, and where will he
get enough to offset this?''

Chairman Stanford Newell probably,
knew what he was about when he fixed
the "new order of things" on the Re.
publican call. But then we shall seq
what we shall see. !
There was music around the somber
old state house yesterday morning. Sec,
retary of State Hans Mattson had readI
on his way over from Minneapolis the
GLOBES account of the GOODNESS which
ing between Gov. Merriam and
himself, and shortly after he
reached his Office in the capitol
building a copy of Stanford Newels lit-
tie ''call" was handed him. The doughty
colonel saw that the nomination for Sec{
retary of state was fourth on the LIST
instead of third, as it had always been.
The secretary of the great state of Min
neSota was wild. He sat down to think,
aud before he had time to indulge I'M
that luxury a messenger summoned
him to Gov. Merriam's private Office.
He followed the messenger around the
cOrrluOr ana lntO the waiting room OE
the executive department. This time
he was not obliged to wait until the
governor had given an audience to sew
eral droves of ward heelers, but was az
once ushered into the presence of his
eXcellency. Here a conference was
held, while the department clerks stood
in the corridors and talked and
waited. Soon the great men separated
and both denied to reporters for the
evening papers that there had ever
been cool feeling between them.
Neither. however. denied that their
business had largely been carried on
by correspondence. although both Sec
retary and governor have the same Of
flee hours at the capitol. In addition to
this, Secretary MattSon wrote out the
following for the GLOBE:
/ would be very glad ii the reporter could
state that there is TO foundation for the
statement in the GLOBE that am at variance
with Gov Merriam-on the contrary, so far
as l am concerned, l have only kind and
friendly feelings towards him, and

is pleasant and harmonious. 1t is true THAI
