The Michigan Central Refuses
Honor 500 Tickets to the De-
trOit Reunion.
It Says That Road Had No Authority
to Ticket Its Passengers by
That Route. Il
Believed that the Grand Rapids and
indianapolis Will Follow
Like Course.

ST.. PAUL, July 80. "A bombshell has
exploded in the camp of the be!igerent
500. 1t was carefully loaded, and being
touched off justat the present juncture,
places the 500 in rather peculiar posi-
tion. The Michigan Central strikes the
blow at q time when its effect is most
powerful. This line refuses to honor
tickets sold to the G. A. r. encampment
at Detroit beginning Aug. 8, and states
that the 500 has no authority so far as
this road Is concerned, to ticket the
veterans via the Michigan Central rail-
road. It further states that no
cars will be in waiting at Mack
inaw City to receive and transport
passengers holding tickets sold by
the 500 for the Detroit reunion. What
the 500 will do now is the question of
the hour in railway circles. Very nat
urally this fighting competitor Of the
Chicago lines win turn to the Grand
Rapids and Indianapolis to honor the
tickets sold to Detroit. But il Is said
that this line will refuse to enter com
bination at this late day. In fact, the
situation indicates that the long pre-.
dicted boycott against the 500 has ai
last been inaugurated.

ernor still refuses to give out for publi-
cation the report Of John w. Coons,

Merriam Interferes.

William Rose Hangs Unless Governor
Merriam Interferes.
ST.. PAUL, July 30.-H the governor
does not intervene, William Rose, the
Redwood county murderer, will lose his
life. The decision Of the supreme court
in the case was handed down Tuesday.
The evidence is held sufficient to justify
the verdict, and nothing remains but for
the governor to fix the time of Roses
execution. William Rose was tried In
the district court of Redwood county,
convicted Of murder and sentenced TO
be hanged. The time of the sentence
has expired, pending the case before the
supreme court, and new time must be
set. The case was appealed on the
ground that the evidence developed was
not sufficient to justify the verdict. The
court holds, however, that the verdict is
fully justified. The objections are not
sustained by the higher court, and the
court considers that no substantial errors
were made by the lower court to justify
the Interference of the supreme court.
The Rose case has become one of the
most famous in Minnesota criminal an
mails. On the evening Of Aug. 20, 1888,
Moses Lufkin, a resident Of Gales, in
Redwood county. was visiting at the
house of his nephew, man named
Slower. About 5 o'clock, as he was
seated on lounge, shot was fired
through an open window near him,
which, burying itself in luis shoulder
and passing through vital organs, caused
his death. Slower sprang from his
chair at the shot, and running out Of
doors saw man whom he identified al
William Rose. The issue Of guilt has
been involved In the question as to
whether Rose was there at the time oil
the shooting. He was seen riding q
pony on the afternoon previous to the
shooting, though some OF the Witnesses
claimed merely to have seen q mar
dressed like Rose, and resembling him;
not, however, positively identifying the
rider AZ William Rose.

OMAHA, July 80. Judge Brewer has
refused to grant the Union Pacific rail-
way q snpersedeas bond TO carry its case
to the supreme court, holding that such
q bond would practically nullify the de-
cree. This settles the case and the
Rock Island and Milwaukee can come
over the bridge into Omaha. The court
will decide the other contested point
whether joint rules and regulations
must be formulated before trains can
use the Union Pacific tracks or whether
they can be operated under the Union
Pacific rules until others can
be made. 1t Is probable that
the Union Pacific win apply to
to the supreme BENCH for writ Of or.
ror and to restrain the Rock Island from
crossing the bridge. The Union Pacific
has it's engine guarding the entrance to
