The Northern Pacific Has a Big
Undertaking on Hand.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-It has now be-
come certainty that the Northern Pa
cific and Canadian Pacific systems are
to be connected by line running north
from Seattle, WASH, to junction point
in British Columbia. The proposed
movement of the Northern Pacific to
continue its line through the northern
part of Washington to the boundary
and there make connection with the
Canadian transcontinental line tap
ping Vancouver and New Westminster,
and possibly to reach a good harbor
point on the Pacific ocean, is now un-
derstood to he definitely settled. Pro-
ceedlng northward from Seattle, the
line will run north to Mohomish, then
to the Skagit river. passing through
Cedro, from which point it is probable
that branch will be built to
Ship harbor. The line will then
run west of, parallel with and
very close to, that of the
Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern, until
the British boundary is reached in the
vicinity of Blaine. Among the pro-
posed feeders to secure traffic into New
westminster ana vancouver, across Gn0
line, are branches to Whatcom and Bel
llngham bay, and 1T may hereafter be
decided to run branch near Linden.
When the fabulous cost of constructing
a railroad northward through the
mountains of Washington is considered,
the immensity of this undertaking of
the Northern Pacific can be fully appre-
ciated. 1t is stated that the construction
of the new line will begin from Seattle
In about three weeks. Although it will
require about three months to finish the
preliminary survey. the entire work of
construction, Engineer Huson states.
can be finished by the end of the year.
and the road be in condition for busi-
ness. The company will shortly begin
the construction of extensive railroad
yards at Seattle. The estimated cost of
these yards will be between s400. .OO0 and
s5Oo.O00. If the intentions of the Union
Pacific and Canadian Pacific are to push
matters as fast as the Northern states
its intention of doing, great era of
railroad building may be looked for in
Washington.

SANK IN THREE MINUTES.
The Steamer Louise Goes Down
One Man Drowned,


One Man Drowned.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 16.-The
Louise, of the Jacksonville & Mayport
line. ran into an obstruction early this
morning near Hunters mill, on St.
Johns river, and was sunk in less than
three minutes. One man was drowned,
and the other passengers and crew
barely escaped with their lives.
The Louise left Mayport last
Saturday night bound for this
city. She had on board a crew of six
men, including Capt. Charles Floyd, and
seven passengers. The run from May
port is only two and three hours, and
the passengers were all asleep about the
cabin with their clothes on. About 80
O'Clock the steamer suddenly crashed
into some obstruction, supposed to be a
sunken lighter, and sunk in about two
minutes. Capt. Floyd gives the follow
ing account of the disaster: "When the
boat struck we rushed to the cabin and
called to the passengers to make
for the lifeboat. The water rushed
in SO fast that the boat could
not be reached, and we finally
got on life raft and cnt it loose. This
was on the hurricane deck, to which we
had retreated. There were ten persons
on the raft and myself and Eph
Hood in the water. l threw my arm
over stick of wood, which aided me in
keeping above the surface. Wesley
Evans, young colored passenger, went
down with the boat and was drowned.
We were not in the water very long, for
the schooner Jesse W. Starr came to us
and took US all in." The Louise lies in
fifty feet of water, nothing being visible
but about five feet of her smoke stack.
She belongs to the estate of the late
Alexander Wallace, and was valued at
about $1,000.

THE SAWTELLE MYSTERY.
Sixteen Thousand People Visit
the Scene.

the Scene.
ROCHESTER,, N. H., Feb. 16.-Sixteen
thousand people have to-day visited the
locality where the dismem5ered re-
mains of Hiram A. Sawtelle were un-
earthed. Everything in the shape of
conveyance within radius of thirty
miles has been pressed into service, and
an endless array of overcrowded teams
has been the result. While there have
been no startling developments today,
many minor matters have been brought
to light, strengthening the chain of evil
dence. Early this morning County
Solicitor Kivel sent Drs. Ham and Sullf-
van from Dover, who. with DR.. Daniels
of this place. made a thorough exami-
nation of the body. Supt. Small had
already telegraphed Officer Watham
that there was a thickness of flesh
around Hiram Sawtelle's finger nails,
caused by disease, also twist in his
ankle, both of which the physicians
found on the dead body. Every day
brings additional proof that the murder
was committed in New Hampshire,
which has a capital penalty, while
Maine has not. John Wiley, who drives
a logging. team, made statement to-
day that he passed carriage, supposed
to contain Hiram and Isaac, in the pine
woods between here and East Rochester,
and few minutes afterwards he dis
tinctly heard three shots in quick sue
cessiOn. A number of other parties
heard the firing. Search for the missing
head is still being prosecuted.

VINCENNEs, Ind, Feb. 16.-All the
city officials, consisting OF the mayor,
councilmen, city attorney and street
commissioner, were arrested yesterday
at the instance of Mrs. Clarissa j. Pau
ley, who had enjoined them from grad
ing street next to her property. The
injunction was not observed, and there
fore Mayor Murphy, City Attorney
Goodman and others were arrested for
indirect contempt of court. The fight
that has led mp to this wholesale arrest
has been spirited one, and has been
going on for two years. The Ohio &
Mississippi Railroad company was per-
petually restrained two years ago from
raising the track to correspond with the
grade of the street, and last December
Mrs. Pauley recovered damages from
the city in the courts for injury to her
property from overflow of water in the
cutters. The fight in the courts will be
bitter one. The city attorney will
enter suit against Mrs. Pauley for $2O,-
900 damages for false imprisonment.
The mayor will also ask for $4,000 dam
ages for the same reason.

WAsHBURN, N. D.. Feb. 16.-On the

Not until Feb. was anything ap-

just realizing that this part of Dakota is
not yet past its experimental stage Of

that half dozen years is TOO short
time to determine the real worth of

the scarcity of hay would prevent this
from ever becoming successful stock
country; and, if anything, it must be
wheat. The late drv seasons have had
their effect. The exclusive grain pro-
ducer has decided that this country is
good for nothing, and is preparing to
depart for some more favorable field, or
has already gone in search of pastures
new. We see others who possessed

DULUTH, Minn., Feb. 16.-The stiff
wind which is now blowing gale from
the northeast has lashed the lake into
tremendous waves, which are rolling
over the lighthouse piers with great
force. The storm has about determined
every ice man in the city to make no
effort to get ice for household and do
mestic purposes at Duluth, but to get
their supply from Lake Vermillion at
Tower. What little ice there was in
Lake Superior is churned into slush by
this time. The ice at Tower is i'm good
condition and the railroad company will
haul it for about the actual cost for train
service. Ice for cold storage purposes
can be obtained from inside the bay and
river, but that of pure quality will have
to be shipped in.
