and since Wednesday last has been de-
pendent for its water supply upon the
old West side pumping station, which
draws from the mill pond in front of the
falls. 1t is stated that the Intake"
pipe at the mill pond is still in good con-
dition, and that the water from that
source of supply is therefore pure
enough to drink.
1t will probably be as long as two
weeks before the Worthington pumps
will again be in service. The first one
broke down about two weeks ago, and
the other on Wednesday last, the cause
of the trouble in both instances being
the breaking of the main rod between
the plunger and the steam engine. The
WOrthingtOn company was notified OF
the breaking of the first pump, and Ex-
pert Engineer Cakes came at once to
Minneapolis. He expresses the opinion
that the breakage was caused by an i'm
proper adjustment of steel key fasten-
ing the main rod to the head of the
pump, and that similar mishap can be
avoided in future. The capacity of the
West side pumping station is 1900, 0OO
gallons per day, which is ample for fire
protection and all ordinary demands.

ut is impossible to estimate the i'm

Passenger Agent Dunn, of the North
western road, to representative of the
GLOBE yesterday afternoon, land it IS
equally impossible to compute the i'm
mense amount of injury which has been
done to the wheat and other grains by
the severe rains, owing to the
inability of the farmers to stack
it properly and to make pro-
vision for a spell of inclement weather
The greater number of the farmers per-
mitted their grain to remain in the
shock for the reason that they were I'M
able to secure the proper amount of
help to either stack it or thresh it. One
of our men, who has just returned from
that portion of the country, tells me
that the greatest misery is felt by the
farmers III consequence of the ruin
which has been brought upon them by
their failure to make the proper pro-
vision against a spell OF rainy weather,
and that a great many of them who ex-
pected that they would be able to pay
off a great portion of their indebt-
edness with the money which they an
ticipated from the sale of their grain,
will be compelled to start comparatively
new next year. Along the direct line of
our road the loss has not been so bad as
in great many other places, from the
fact that the possibility of failure in

The Business Mems Union to En-

1t is something like year and half
since the business mems union prophe-
sled that Minneapolis would ultimately
become the great manufacturing center
of the Union for the production of linen
goods, and, if indications can be relied
upon, the prediction will more than
likely be verified. The union has de-
cided to postpone the unconventional
spread that had been announced for
next Monday evening. The ami mus is
in relation to the project indica ted. A
communication has been received from
two wealthy Scotchmen, of Edinburg,
bearing the information that they were
en- route to Minneapolis, with the aim
of establishing one or their linen facto-
ries here, and it is the purpose of the
union to hold the dinner upon their ar
rival, which will occur just one week
later than the time first set for the
amenities.

The Milling Product Exceeds All
Preceding Records.

The Milling Product Exceeds All
Preceding Records.
Last week was the banner one on rec
ord for the amount of flour turned out
by the mills, says the Miller. With two
mills idle the output was 1914, 100 barrels,
or 1880 barrels daily. The largest
quantity ever before made was 1877, 900,
that having been ground for the week
ended Oct. 16. 1888. 1t is true that last
weeks figures included those of the
Lincoln mill at AnOka; yet, after de-
Quoting $500 barrels for that mills
work, the run still stands as the heaviest
ever made. For the corresponding
time in 1890 the output was 166, ITO
barrels, and in 1889. 162,SC0 barrels.
There is about the same activ-
ity on the platform this week
as week ago. Nineteen mills are in
motion and they are grinding not far
from $4,000 barrels per twenty-four
hours. The water power Is somewhat
irregular, and, commencing with
Wednesday, the siXteen-hour clause of
leases has been and will be enforced.
for time at least. The -four market
still remains rather quiet, the current
sales probably not quite equaling the
production. Some firms for week back
have sold as much flour as they made,
while others have drawn on accumulated
orders to keep their mills going. The
domestic trade is made up of purchases
for current consumption, and is remark
able for the comparatively small orders
that are received and the wide range OF
territory that they come from. But
the miller is constantly ham
mered for the immediate filling of
orders. The demand for patents
from abroad seems to be improving.
while that for bakers and low grades
appears to be losing some of its vim.
The sales of patent for export the past
week have been quite heavy, a few
pretty big orders having been booked.
The exports last week, like the pro-
duction, were about the heaviest on rec
ord. They were 99,305 barrels, against
$685. barrels for the preceding week.
| A liberal proportion of this amount con-
sisted or patents. Only once before
were these figures ever equaled, and
that was for the week ended March IS,
1887, when the weeks exports were 1922
| 500 barrels. The largeness of the eX-
ports OH this occasion was due to the
collapse of the Pillsbury warehouse on
the East side, which contained large
amount CT -four, stored for foreign ship
ment, and which, in consequence of the
accident, had to be hurried away for
protection from the elements.

The plan is to pay the owners of the

Thomas Mcintyre on Trial for
Criminally Assaulting a Little

Thomas Mcintyre on Trial for
Criminally Assaulting a Little
Girl.
One of the most important cases on the
criminal calander this term was called
in Judge Candy's court yesterday morn
ing. Thomas Mcintyre is charged with
committing a criminal assault on a little
girl named Nellie Kusick. The alleged
offense is said to have been committed
on the 23d of last December. The two
families in interest were neighbors, and
it is said the accused committed the Of
Tense while having the conflde nee of
the parents. He afterward left town
for few months and was arrested on
his return.
Yesterday morning two hours were
occupied in securing jury. The de-
Tense rejected all men that were mar
ried and had families of their own. Most
of the day was taken up in listening to
evidence leading up to the alleged as
sault.
Mcintyre has been con fined to the
cobnty Jail several months and shows
the effects of his incarceration. He is
about fifty years of age with gray nar
and slightly rounded shoulders, as if he
| had been no stranger TO hard labor dur
| ing his life time. He seems to feel his
position keenly, and keeps his eyes
| fixed on the floor most of the time, ex-
| cept when spoken TO.
Nellie Kuslck is proposing girl
| of about ten years of age, although
looking to be at least two years older.
She is apparently completely inditfer-
ent as to the results of the trial, but
watches everything with all child's
curiosity.
The case for the state was opened by
County Attorney THAN in a brief but
pointed address. At the conclusion OF
Mr.. Thian's speech, Patrick Kusick, the
chilss's father, was put upon the stand
and told of the friendship existing be
tween the families, as we'll as Other
events connected with the assault. The
case promises to furnish some very sen
sational evidence at the trial to-day.
