The party consisted of Liberati and our

was called on for toast, and responded
in nearly the following manner: "Well,

not to fiatter you-but for the reason
that think you are justly entitled to it,

kindly of the boys as entertainers, and
said that his visit with them had been

also spoke of Prof Romdenue and his

THE City of Washington is an object of
perennial interest to all patriotic Amer
leans. Not alone because it is the great
threbbing heart of the mightiest and
grandest Republic the earth has ever
known, but also on account of its mat

pride in its beautiful avenues, majestic
architecture, stately homes, and well
stored galleries and museums as things
otgrandeur and beauty in themselves,
apart from the historic interest with
which they are invested. 1t is hope

to early summer is brief. No such

HISTORICAL.

Minneapolis is young and her his
tory is necessarily brief. Previous
to the year 1888 the city's site even
had no history, and was a part of
the great unclaimed and unsettled
country over which roamed the
original owners of the soil, in their
peaceful hunt for game or their more
CHASTITY search for scalps. In the
above named year Franklin Steele
built a claim shanty on the east
side of the Mississippi, opposite St.
Anthonys Falls. Seven years later,
or in 1845, the town of st. Anthony
was incorporated. At that time the
west shore of the river at the falls
was a military reservation and set
Element was not allowed. But at
the session of Congress of that year,
two ex-soldiers of the Mexican war
Robert Smith, of Illinois, and
John II. Stevens, were by special
act, permitted to settle on the re-
serve and the former located his
claim so as to take in the falls,
while the latter built his home on
the hillside where the Union Depot
now stands. Newcomers continued
to squat on the reserve, when in
1854 an act was passed throwing it
open to settlement and the squatters
were allowed to buy the land upon
which they had settled, at 1925 per
acre. In that year rs votes were
cast and the population was estima-
ted at 200 souls, and in the same
year the town was christened "Min-
neapolis." The place was at once
plated and at the close of the year
had 1000 population. In 1857 the
town had grown to 1000 popula-
ton and there was great rivalry with
st. Anthony, just across the river.

AltOgetheran Interesting DeScrip-
ton of the Metropolis of
the Great Northwest.

The rapid settlement and devel-
opment of the great west during the
last twenty-five years, naturally
made possible the sudden growth of
many cities and towns-so many in
fact that the general public has
ceased in a degree, to wonder at
their brilIiantrise. st. Paul, Omaha,
Kansas City and Denver, with Il
dozen smaller places have all in
creased rapidly in population and
wealth, and have attracted the adj
miration of the country for their
energy and enterprise. Minneap-
oils, however, has "capped the eli
max and having diStanced her
sister cities, now enjoys the distinc-
ton of being not only the metropO-
lis of the great northwest, but also
of being the largest city west of the
Mississippi, with the exception of
st. Louis and San Francisco This
growth is the more phenomenal
from the fact that Minneapolis was
among the last, if not the very latest
to launch forth in her dazzling ca
reer Of uninterrupted progress.
This fact argues for good loca-
ton coupled with superior advan-
tages. But more is undoubtedly
due to the indomitable energy and
untagging zeal of her citizens. Not
only are the people of Minneapolis
intensely loyal to their city, but
they universally act in unison in all
matters promoting the welfare of
the city, and are quick to sieze every
opportunity to enhance their glory
and distinction. Peopled largely by
the sons of New York and New
England, the city has had the ben
eft of the best blood and sinew of
the land, and it is to-day a notice
able fact that most of her important
commercial interests are in the hands
of Americans.

Omaha Railway. Comprising over
1000 miles of road, it traverses the
wheat fields of Dakota, and the corn
belt of Iowa and Nebraska, and
brings these products to Minnearo-
lis mills and warehouses. It reaches
into the pine woods Of Wisconsin
and Michigan; to the Vermillion.
Gogebic and Menominee iron ranges
on Lake Superior; and to the Black
Hills and the coal and oil regions of
Wyoming. 1t is the short line
between Minneapolis, Chicago, Sioux
City and Omaha, and reaches with
its connections to Kansas City and
the far West.
THE BURLINGTON SYSTEM,
BY it's liberal policy is receiving
very large patronage and has
proved a valuable addition to the
railway facilities of Minneapolis.
The equipment is frst-class. AS a
passenger road it has few equals, and
as a freight road it possesses many
advantages, rs in its easy grades
which greatly reduces train expenses
The large cities reached by the Bur-

Quincy, S. LOUIS, Kansas City, St.
Joseph, Omaha, Cheyenne and
Denver.

This was the first road to give

Minneapolis direct communication

continued this till 1867, when the
village was incorporated as a city.
The rivalry between Minneapolis
and St. Anthony for commercial
and manufacturing supremacy con-
tinued unabated for 20 years, when
in 1878 they joined their fortunes
under one name and have since been
known to the world as the progress
sive city Of Minneapolis.
POPULATION.
The U. S. census of 1860 gave
Minneapolis a population of 5000,
an average growth of a thousand
year. In 1870, the census takers
counted $4,000 people, being an in
creased growth of over thousand
year. In 1880 the population
was 46,4OO. In 1885 it was 10000
and the latest announcement at this
writing, of the census Just taken
gives the city population of lit
tie over 10000. 1t is needless to
refer in this connection to the recent
census troubles and the ContrOver-
sizes arising therefrom, except to say
that Minneapolis is not satisfied
with the population as given above,
much less will she be contented if
the figures are diminished by a re-
count, which has been ordered by
the superintendent Of the census.
The estimates by which Minneap-
oils believe they have upwards Of
100000 people, are made on the
presidential vote for 1883 and COM
pared with st. Paul and Kansas
City are as follows:
Kansas City......................13S,O 5000
st. Paul observation-disclosures. 6O2 |
MinneapOlis.....................2O4 ,37S |
The census reports give St. Paul |
and Kansas City buta few thousand |
less than the above estimates, while
Minneapolis is placed some $4,000
less. This is a curious fact, and
presuming there was no error in the
above estimates, would seem to in
dlcate that either the city has more
than 10000 population, or else the
proportion of votes to population is
greater than in the other cities
named. But whatever the govern
ment promuI gates as the official
will have to be accepted, and
even if it be less than the people
Of Minneapolis expected, they can
have the satisfaction of coming
nearer their expectations than Kan
5as City, which tumbles from
claim of 100000 to 10000, or Den
yer, which claimed 100000 and
shows up with 10000. Whether
Minneapolis has 10 or 20 thousand
people more or fewer, it is a great
hing to distance the other twin,

The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1890-11-19

The wreck which occurred at the
"Y," about three miles from Knox
vile Wednesday night, will, in all
probability cost the E. T. V. & G..
railroad company in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, it being of a more
serious nature than was at first re-
ported. A train of loaded cars be-
longing to various roads was stand
ing on the E. 7, V. G. tracks near
the Z. II. V. & G. and X. G. G. & l..
junction. A portion of freight
train on the latter road broke loose,
and before it could be placed under
control dashed into the cars on the
f. Il. V. & G. track. Thirteen cars
were overturned and broken, while
their contents were both scattered
and injured. The Louisville pas
senger train which leaves Knox
vile at $3.50 O'Clock would be due in
a short time and the tracks were
blocked by the debris. 1t was USE
less to attempt to clear the tracks
in so short time, SO the wreckine
party built a short temporary track
around the wreck to allow the pas.
sage of the train. The tracks was
cleared yesterday.-Journal.
