NO WORD FROM BUFFALO
In Relation TO the Cashier Wanted
in st. Paul.

1t is a little singular that no word has
been received from the authorities of
Buffalo, N. Y, in regard to Louis
Wilde, formerly cashier of the st. Paul
Trust company. Secretary Eberlein
promptly wired the chief of police that
Wilde was wanted, but no answer has
since been received. Mr.. Eberlein said
yesterday:
''The trust company is not prosecuting
Wilde, as we are secured by the Ameri-
can Surety company, but in the interest
of public justice | sent the telegram to
Buffalo and at the same time wired the
surety company. [ ain surprised that
no answer is forthcoming. but it is just
possible that the man was not Wilde
after all. The description was a good
one. and the name correct. Perhaps the
surety company is taking hold of the
case now.''

FAILED TO PASS.
The Supreme Bench Upset a
Couple OF Trial Judges.


The appellate court yesterday filed
the following decisions.
Isaac Mitchell ct al. respondents. vs. Mime

ment reversed. COLLINS, j.
here party acting has no authority TO
act for third party, and does not profess at
the time to act for him the subsequent as
sent of such third party to be bound as
principal has no operation. a restitution is
only eifectual when the act is done by per-
son professedly acting as the agent of the
party sought to be charged as principal. The
recover on fire Insurance policy, examined
and considered, held to conclusivelv show that
certain persons who, as adjusters. entered
into all agreement with plaintiffs TO submit
the amount of their loss to arbitration, and
subsequently, stipulated as to the amount
thereof, had no authority TO act for
and did not profess at the time to act for de-
PENDANT company. Held, further, that the
evidence failed to show that the defendant
hao waived the requirements of its policy as
to notice of loss and proof of loss, or that it
had in any manner estopped itself from de-
handing that these requirements should be
complied with.

A BAL BASQUE
Given by Cigarmakers at Market
Hall.

UiVen Dy CiSarmakerS at Markot
Hall.
The masquerade ball given by Cigar
makers Union No. 0S at Market hall
last evening, was a pleasing success,
Notwithstanding the disagreeabe
weather. The maskers, to the number
of about 500, were mostly young people.
and the dancing was entered into with
zest that indicated enjoyment. The
costumes were uniformly attractive and
pretty, with fewer than ordinarily of
the ridiculous order in the makeup.
The grand march was led by Paul
Kleist, assisted by Miss Detiah Reley.
Among the costumes were four striking
ones, advertising the blue label cigar.
A pair of Red Ridinghoods drew atten-
ton to st. Paul-made cigars. A we'll
known member of the retail clerks
union personated an English huntsman,
and cracked his whip with an Angll-
ciZed vim. The Indian chief fittngly
attracted attention TO a st. Paul brand
of cigars. Three prizes were awarded.

SHIP CANAL CONVENTION.
Secretary Thsmpson of the Duluth Cham

Secretary Thompson of the Duluth Cham
Der Of Commerce Issues Call.
DULUTH. Dec. 24..-As the result Of
correspondence with large number OF
commercial and municipal organiza-
tions in various parts Of the country
Secretary Thompson, Of the Duluth
chamber Of commerce, has issued call
for national ship canal convention to
be held in Washington Jan. 12, 1893.
The importance of the movement is
briefly set forth in the call, the conclu-
sion Of which is as follows:
Makeup Of the Convention.
4 AL commercial associations, includ-
ing industrial unions and farmers or
carnations, and also all incorporated
municipalities, are invited to appoint
each'fivs delegates to this convention.
The governor Of each state will be in
vited by special communication to at
tend the convention and to appoint five
citizens Of his state as delegates at large.
The real question to be considered is
whether the time has not come when
the declaration of political indepsnd-
ence, made by our forefathers more
than a century ago, should not be sup
plemented by declaration Of CONNER
cial independence Of Canadian routes Of
transportation. This question is
Neither Local, Sectional Nor Partisan;
it is national. 1t is hoped, therefore,
that this may be the largest and most
influential commercial convention ever
held in the United States, and that it
may result in securing the needed legis-
lation at the present session of congress.
To this end the press is earnestly re-
quested to give the matter the widest
possible publicity, and all organizations
entitled to representation under the call
are urged to appoint delegates without
awaiting receipt of a formal invitation.

FEARFUL EXPERIENCE.

Marvellous Escape Of an Iowa Man ON an
Illinois Railroad.
CHICAGO, Dec. s4.--Charles Griggs. a
drug clerk, was taken to his home in
Keokuk, Ia, suffering from the terrific
nervous shock of a record breaking
hair-breadth escape. He was struck by
the Milwaukee limited train on the
Northwestern road, travelling at the
rate of forty-five miles an hour, and
carried six miles on the pilot of the 10
oomotive in an unconscious condition.
Though black and blue with bruises not
bone in his body was broken. Mr..
Griggs was crossing the Northwestern
track at Wilson avenue when the lin
tied whirled in sight simultaneously
with suburban passenger train going
rapidly in an opposite direction. Griggs
was bewildered. There was no time to
leap clear of the rails. With only the
hope of delaying impending death,
Griggs jumped straight into the air. He
was struck by the front of the engine
and dropped half stunned on the pilot,
his hands instinctively clutching th,
braces.
He was not found until the train
reached South Evanston. He does not
remember anything from the time he
jumped until found. Although not a
bone was fractured Or even wrenched,
his recovery is considered doubtful.
