OWATONNA, Mimi, May 15.-The SEN
BatiOn of the season here is the elope-
ment of Mrs. Perry Rolfe with one Bull
son, a travelling salesman for an Eastern
drug house. BulsOn's home is in Michi-
gan, and for the past year he has been
carrying on a clandestine courtship
with the pretty Mrs. Rolfe. BulsOn
made his last visit here about week
ago, and, as usual, he and Mrs. ROlfe
took advantage of every Oppor-
tunity to be in each others
company. Both parties are young,
good looking and well connected, and
the fair Juliet has constantly had more
male admirers here than the better eie-
ment of society thought just proper I'M
der the circumstances. Her husband
seemed completely infatuated with his
pretty and viVaciOus wife, and was evil
IDENTIFY blind to her weakness. The de-
serted husband is an industrious, honest
and temperate man, whose one ambition
In life appeared to be the qualification
of his wife's every whim. The erring
couple were seen to leave here together
Tuesday night at 10 O'Clock. Mrs.
Rolfe's baggage being checked
upon the mileage book of Bulson,
for Chicago. The distracted husband
was evidently not aware Of this, as he
went to st. Paul and Minneapolis in
search of them the following day. He
returned to his home to-day unsuccess-
full and uncOmmunicative. The affair
has lust become public here and the
tongue of gossip is travelling at lively
rate. This is the second elOpement
within a few days.

500 Takes a Turn With

But the Milwaukee Cries
"HOldI EnouohI" and Sticks
But the Milwaukee Cries
"Hold! Enough!' and Sticks
It's Banner at SIS.

The Chicago passenger rates continue
to fall. The Burlington again took the
initiative and early yesterday an
nounced So rate frst-class from St.
Paul to Chicago, taking effect the 18th
inst. The Kansas City and Wisconsin
were quickly in line, and the Omaha
later i'll the day notified its intention to
meet the cut. The Milwaukee, however,
do not intend to meet it. Assistant Gen
eral Passenger Agent Dixon pertinently
remarked that the Milwaukee has its
local traffic to look after, and will not go
below S. first class and IS second class.
The Milwaukee people claim that the
extra comforts and cOnvenienceS af-
forded on their road for travel will en-
able them to command passengers.
There is now first class rate of S3 each
way between st. Paul and Chicago.
The firSt-claSS rate now in force
between st. Paul and Chicago is
81, so, it will be seen, the
cut is reduction of 81. The second
class rate of 81 will become imperative
when the So first class rate is enforced.
The Burlington will also put in rate
to st. Louis of $10.50 and Kansas City
of Sc. The Milwaukee road at once
decided to meet the latter cut. The
Milwaukee road, while selling first
class tickets to Chicago at rate of 81
higher than the other lines, will accept
S. as proportion on TirSt class tickets
sold over its line to Chicago at points
north and west of St Paul.
The 500 line, having in view the pro-
lection of its passenger traffic, last even
ing announced a reduction on New Eng
land rates, taking effect Sunday next.
The rate from st. Paul to Boston will
be $40 first class and SIT second class;
the present rates being s24 and $40. A
proportionate reduction is made on the
rates TO all New England points.
The 500 road takes this step in
the event Of the st. Paul-Chicago rate
going down to 81 or SOC, as there is every
indication of it doing. The 500 rates
would then be the same as the lowest
from Chicago, and as there is not likely
to be a cut east of Chicago, 1T is not
probable lower rates than these will be
made, even though the Western roads
carry for no thing.

BALTIMORE, May 15.-The active

Mrs. Judge GoOdlet, of Nashville, ex-
tended the conference an invitation to

that the delegation would moi
think him too previous if he put in the
Chicago claim for the conference in

that time, and it was desirable that they
should see what is being done by the

international congress Of charities and

Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, May 15.-The Winona Mill
company's plant was entirely destroyed
by fire this morning. The fire started
in the boiler room in pile Of shingle
sawdust shortly after IL o'clock. The
mill shut down at II o'clock, owing to
scarcity of wheat. and the men had all
gone home with the exception of the
regular night force. When the fire was
first discovered, the engineer and as
SiStanJS put two streams on the blazing
sawdust, and had the fire about under
control, when 1t was discovered the
fourth floor was all ablaze. The fire
had crept up under the roof of the fire
room, and travelled up between the iron
sheathing and the inside wall to the
top of the building, and the massive
structure was soon a mass OF flames.
Ten streams we're handled by the de-
partment, two being furnished by the
steam fire engine from the river. AT 2

same time it was discovered that the
large elevator, located just east of the
mill, was on fire. Streams had been

availing. The elevator had capacity
of 100000 bushels and Cost $4,000. It
contained $4,000 bushels of wheat Two
tenement houses adjoining were de-
Btroyed, as well as an iron-clad machine
shed, all owned by l.. G. Porter. The
loss on these three buildings is placed
at $1,000: insured for $500. The loss on
machines was $500.
Men were stationed at every window
of the l.. c. Porter mill and a number
on the roof, nine streams being
kept on it during the fire.
This mill has just been completed to
take the place of the mill burned last
fan. The Laird-Norton, Empire. and
Winona Lumber companies had their
private companies at work, and no
damage was done, although the yards
were on fire several times.
The total loss on the mill and elevator
Is estimated at S350,000; insured for

Of the American defense association
made an argument in support of the

fact that much of the immigration on

the same reason that Chinese immigra-
ton on the Pacific slope is offensive 10

Poles come to this country in great
numbers who do not assimilate

who have no intent in its welfare or in

gam what will be in their native cOun-

enjoy it. Mr.. Daily said the association
which he represented possessed a mem
bership of more than one hundred
thousand. The committees bill, with a
few amendments, would have the APP
proVal of the association. One of these
amendments, he said, relates to nihil-
lists, proposing to exclude them from
this country.

relating to the equipment of freight
cars used in interstate traffic with

stated to the committee that he repre-
sented the brotherhood OF locomotive
engineers, firemen and trainmen, $4,000
organized railroad employees. in his eff
forts to secure this legislation. In an
sWer to the argument of the railroad Of
fcialS that the proposed legislation was
unnecessary, Mr.. Coffin asked when did
railroad officials ever consider necessary,
legislation affecting their interests in
any respect? They did not want the
precedent established; they had no OBJ
lection to the legislation per Sc. Legis-
lation was necessary to compel the
laggards in railroad management to
keep pace with their competitors. Mr..
Coffin did not believe there was any

not provide these safety appliances.
