FRANKLIN'S TRIUMPH.
The Sixth Ward Alderman Wear
ing a Smile With His New
Suit.
Street and West st. Paul
Cars.

Aid. Franklin, of the Sixth ward, has
been for the past two days III a partic-
ularly happy mood. The cause was the
placing of red and blue signs on the
Rice street and West st. Paul street car
lines, These read Rice and Concord
streets and Rice and State streets. For
months Aid. Franklin has labored to
secure better service on the lines men-
tiOued. His voice has been heard at
every opportunity in the council, and
the proceedings of the board of alder
mel have been clogged with resolutions
ordering the street railway company to
do this, that and the other.
The outcome of this was the discon-
tinuance of the bob-tail car on the State
street extension and the running of a
through car from Rice street to the end
of State street. This suited the alder
man and residents on State street, but,
for some reason, while the service IN
the State street line was bettered, the
Concord street line was given he worst
of it.
By the change the trips on the Con-
cord street line were heightened twelve
minutes between cars. The residents
on Concord street set up a howl, and
yesterday afternoon Vice President
Goodrich, Aid. Franklin and Assembly,
man Doran had a conference to straight
ell out the difficulty. Aid. Franklin ex-
planned that. while the change gave
great satisfaction on the State staeet
line, there must be better and more fire.

line. ASSemblyman Doran took the
same view. and after a lengthy discus
sion Mr.. Goodrich took the ''kick" un-
der advisement, and agreed to report as
to what would be done some time this

LOST N FOUND.
A Black Hills Prospector Says He
Has Found the Celebrated
Lost Cabin Mines.
He Brought to Deadwood With
Him Gold Nuggets to the
Value Of $25, 900.

DEADwooD, S. d., Sept. Sit is be-
lieved here that the celebrated Lost
Cabin Mines have been found. WILL
lam ,. Danny, a %prOSpector, has returned
from a long prospecting tour and
brought with him several thousand dol
lars worth of gold nuggets and a num-
Der OF specimens of ore fairly briStling
with particles of gold.
Dany's story is some weeks ago while
hunting i'll the western part of the Black
Hills lie stumbled into what he at first
supposed was a small cave, but which
upon subsequent investigation proved
to be a room thirty by twenty feet, and
OF an average height of seven feet,
rudely hewn out of solid rock by human
hands. This room he first discovered to
contain the skeleton of a human being,
which, exciting his curiosity, induced a
search that was rewarded by finding
gold nuggets of an aggregate value of
$4,000. The place was many miles
from a settlement, and he remained
until a week ago searching for the mine
from which the nuggets came.
lie claims to have found it and saws
that the ore he has was taken from it.
The fact that Dany has so much gold
with him lends plausibility to the story,
Whlcn is creating a great deal of excite
ment and will cause numerous pros
pecting parties to start out. 1t is not
probable that they will find the mine,
however, as Dany refuses to locate it
any more definitely than by saying it is
about fifty miles from DeadWOOd, i'm the
western Black Hills.

~UNPLEDGED DELEGATES.

The GLOBE does not favor an early
county convention. 1t believes that the
nomination of candidates for local Of
fees can properly be deferred until the
preliminary work of organization for the
general campaign has reached a reason
able degree of completeness. But in
the nature of things there cannot be
much further p%ostponement. Before
long the primaries must be held. 1t is
OF the utmost Importance that the ticket
which the convention shall name
should be composed of good men
with clean records, and of strength
before the people. This is always impor-
tant, because a decent regard for the
welfare of the county demands it. But
it is especially important at this time.
The success of the Democracy is at
stake. \ weak or unfit candidate for
any position may avail to discredit the
party in the eyes Of a large number of
voters. We cannot be too careful even
in the smallest thing. In the past the
chief difficulty in avoiding. mistakes has
been found to lie in the action of the
primaries. Some man ambitious for
preferment pledges the delegates from
this precinct and from that. They obIi-
gate themselves sometimes unthinKingly
sometimes from considerations of per-
sonal friendship. When the convention
assemblies, its free movement is tram
meled because the delegates are not
free. The best material can not be Sc
lected because all sorts of material con-
trolls the votes. Let this be avoided
now. Let unpledged delegations be
chosen from every part of the county.
Let them come together prepared to
confer intelligently and independently.
The fittest men, not the most dillgent
men, will win under these circum-
stances. 1t is the fittest men we want.
We must have the fittest men.

RIGHTS AND WRANGLES
Fifth Ward Transfer COMPANY Is
Granted a Fifty-Foot Strip
OF Land.
Aid. Franklin Makes a "Beef."
and Engineer RundIett Arises
to Explain.

AT the meeting of the committee on
streets from the board of aldermen YES
terday afternoon, the ordinance grant
ing the Fifth Ward Transfer Railway
company certain rights was considered
and finally recommended to pass. The
ordinance as amended provides for the
grant to the company of a strip of land
fifty feet wide from the Wabasha street
bridge TO a point near the Omaha shops.
The work is to be commenced prior to
Aug. l, 1898. and during that year SIS. 600
is to be expended in construction. The
entire work is to be completed during
the year 1894.
The company agrees to extend all
sewers now on the right of way, and
others that may be laid. The agree
ment is also made that such grades.
crossings and other improvements as
may be designated by the council will
be constructed and the company's share
of such Improvement paid. The ordi-
nance is to be accepted within fifteen
days after the passage of the ordinance.
Failure to so do will forfeit all rights

and yOn. Today In Paris, mex week in
st. Paul. is now not only a possibility,
but a not uncommon occurrence. For
his summer outing a man now takes a
scafnpea around the world where form
erly he found more difficulty in getting
200 miles from home. Globe-trotting
is a fad with the wealthy, and
emigration is the besetting passion of
the discontinued poorer classes. AS a
consequence, the spread Of c~Ontagion
from port to port and from continent to
continent would be much more rapid
and more certain now than formerly,
but for the improvement in sani-
tary appliances and in the means Of en-
forcing strict quarantine regulations.
The utmost precautions are essential
in the present emergency, and ever
Their 1t Is scarcely possible that the chol-
era can be kept off our shores. The mi
gratory movement is set resistlessly in
this direction, and both its enormous
proportions and its numerous II
of entrance preclude the hope that the
infection cali be effectually turned back
from our gates. The disease can
however, be prevented from as
Stunning an epidemic form in this
country. Efficient sanitation and
a due regard to cleanliness will
leave the plague little to feed upon,
and prompt isolation Of any cases that
appear will do the rest. The in land a
well as the seaboard cities should
adopt these precautions. Locked up in
luggage, the germs of cholera might slip
through the seaboard quarantine or
past the Canadian boundary, and do
their first work of destruction in st.
Paul. There is no occasion for great
alarm locally. but there is every oc-
caslon for extreme vigilance. The
county medical board realize this and
are preparing a comprehensive plan of
vigorous preventive measures. They
are proceeding OH the only terable
hypothesis, that the cholera must reach
this vicinity sooner or later in its pres
ent circuit of the globe, and that while
it is imperatively necessary to use
every %precaution to keep the plague
out as long as possible, it is
also Imperative to be we'll prepared
for it when it does come. If it cannot
be kept out altogether, the cholera can
at least be prevented from becoming
locally epidemic. On this supposItion
the medical board is preparing its plans
of action. Cleanliness is the great es-
sentlal. The city must be cleaned and
secured till it shines like a newly coined
dollar. Not a nook o corner but must
be freed from every vestige of the filth
in which cholera breeds and fattens. To
accomplish this a round sum Of money
will be needed, and the medical board
will ask the common council to appro-
pirate it. The appropriation should be
passed without a dissenting voice.
There is no room for the practice OF petty
economy in a case like this. The money
necessary for cleaning the city would
not pay for the collins needed should
the cholera once become epidemic in
this vicinity.

given the ordinance as agreed upon to
prepare a draft and submit to the meet
ing Tuesday night.
The resolution of Aid. Franklin
ordering the city engineer to inspect
the system of carrying off the
rainfall in the Sixth ward and make a
report was discussed and referred TO
that official. The city engineer said
nothing could be done except to extend
the sewer system.
Aid. Franklin said nine-tenths of the
catchbasinS in the ward were above the
grade OF the street and that half of the
chances for damages from overflow of
water came from the Sixth ward.
Mr.. Rundlett said that he was doing
all that he could in the premises, and
the fact that IL the sewers five feet of
a had been found would indicate
that the catchbasins had done some
work. The engineer further said that
nall the claims for damages in the Sixth
ward owing to the overflow or water
came from persons who lived on streets
on which there were no sewers. He
agreed, however, to make a report at
as early a date as possible.

SERIOUS SMASHUP.
Passenger and Freight Train in
Collision at MarstOn
Junction.
Several Persons Hurt and a Mar
row Escape All
Around.

A quite serious collision occurred lat
1880 o'clock yesterday morning.at Men
dota junction, in which several people
were hurt more or less severely. and a
tram load of passengers given a severe
shaking up. The Mendoza passenger
train due in st. Paul at 1850, going on
schedule time, crashed into a freight
train just pulling out OF a side track.
The trains struck directly head on.
There was no warning Of h impend-
ing danger, and the crews OF the two
engines had barely time to leap wildly
out Of their cabs before the crash oc-
CURED. 1t was so violent that the two
engines were completely demol-
iShed. The cab of n was
piled clear up over its stack.
The baggage car behind was badly
teleScoped, and so was the car imme-
diately behind the freight engine. The
baggageman had time 70 Jump anu save
his life, but the most thrilling leap was
that OF the passenger engineer, who had
to jump full ten feet owe the tracks to
a safe landing place. He escaped with
a severe scalp wound. In the passenger
coaches the travellers were piled up in
the dlreSt confusion, but when Il census
had been taken it was found chat by a
miracle no one had been at all seriously
injured. The worst injury was that
which was sustained by a Minneapolis
lady, whose name could not be ascer-
tanned at the time. She was able to walk
to the Milwaukee train, which o all
the passengers into Minneapolis.
The responsibility for the accident is
difficult to locate as yet. The freight
was going laboriously up the heavy
grade at Mendoza. 1t was a heavy
train and the engine had stalled nee
and was just beginning to up the
grade. At the top was a switch where
it had orders to sidetrack until the pas
senger train had passed. Before it was
able to reach the top, however, along
came the passenger around the curve
where the freight was not visible. 1t
was too late to stop and the engineers of
both trains. after reversing the engines
took the leap. 1t was claimed by the
passenger crew that they should have
been tagged by the freight. 1t looks as
if there had been a bad blunder in train
orders somehow.
