'Manlstee IS just as IL always is
lively as bell pup. You can see peo-

tor relieved himself of a huge grin.
"Bul as matter of fact" he con
tinued, cuisines IS very lively. No
one could reasonably hope 10 have IL
better. Arrangements are rapidly beng
completed for handling that Lack
awannA freight. There aro hundreds
of carloads of it on the otner side Of
the lake, awaiting transportation.
Manistee lsn't going TO be laid out on
the deal. 1t is true that Frankfort will
handle some of the freight, bus only a
part of il. 1t is impossible for either
the Manistee Il Northeastern or the
Frankfort 4 Southeastern road alone
to handle all that freight. 1t has been
all the Flint 4 Pere Marquette road
could do TO handle IT, and that has
the best freight engines and the best
freight service in Michigan. Both
roads will have all they can do to ham
die the freight. SO there is no occasion
for any hard feeling over the matter.
OF course we want TO see the Manistee
and Northeastern do well in this busi-
ness. We have very warm feeling
toward the road. for 1t has done a
great deal for Manistee: In one re-
spect it has almost made the town.
For long time the r. 4 +. NJ. didn't
do very much for us, and during that
time the Manistee and Northeastern
helped US out a great deal. We haven't
any fault to find with the +. & =. NJ.
now, however. Under Mr.. Baldwin's
management 1t is dong everything it
can for the benefit of Manistec. 1t has
taken off those stock cars that IT used
to run there, and has given us first

JUSTICE BRADLEY'S SUCCESSOR.
In All Probability 1t Will Not be Attorney
General Miller.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The death of
Justice Bradley creates the third
vacancy on the supreme bench since
President Harrison's inauguration. and
speculation is rife as To who will take
the distinguished Justices place. PROB
ably there was no one of Justice Brad
leY's associates so learned in the law as
he. Justice Brown said TO me . few
weeks ago. in speaking OF him, that he
was M ail the most profound lawyer nc
had ever met. That he knew of some
lawyers who possessed III a certain de-
gree the learning of Justice Bradley IN
respect Of some particular branch OF
the law, but he never saw any one be-
fore who was SO thorougly grounded,
and intimate with every Dranch OF it as
he. 1t will be hard to find any one
who can take ms place.
Justice Bradley, in a way, was tcc-
ror to attorneys who appeared before
the supreme court with weak case or
one lily prepared. He had a habit of
sitting in his chair with eyes closed and
head resting back AS if sleeping, but the
man who counted on the old Judge be-
ing oblivlous TO what was taking place
was pretty sure to receive rude shock,
for he had habit of opening his eyes
and gently propounding one or two
questions To the attorney, and after
dropping him. as it were, in deep wa
ter, ne would close his eyes and leave
HIM fiounderlng, and to get out as bes!
he could. The talk about Attorney
General Miller's being appointed by the
president to fill this vacancy has been
revived. but 1t is hardly thought that
the president will appoint any more
Indiana men to Office, AMI in this case
# he should select Mr.. Miller there IS n
strong probability that the senate would
refuse to confirm. The chances are
that some Pennsylvania man will be
selected. as that state is in the judicial
circuit from which Justice Bradley was
appointed. MCGREGoR.

When a Woman Wills.

S. r. Smith, agent for one of the
largest New York cloak houses, is at
the Morton. Speaking vi the cloak
trade yesterday, he said: ain spite of
ali the fault finding and grumbling in
'dulgedfn nj the begiunsng of tasc~sca-
con this has been one of the best sea-
sons for cloaks in years. The trade has
been first class III every respect. TIE
cloak trade has been much better than
the clothing trade from what khave
seen. You would think the sales Of
cloaks and ove'coats would be about
the same. wouldn't yon? But they
aren't. As n rule more G. oaks arc sold :.
A man will often 60 without an over
coat or make his old one do, but when
n woman makes up her mind to have a
new cloak. she is going to have IT..
There isn't any question about it,
angels and principalities to the con-
trary awaiting nanght. You so ont on
the street and you will notice that the
cloaks of the women are always better,
newer aad in later styles than the over
coats of the men. 1t isn't ALWAYS true
of course; but you go out on Monroe
street on any day when the weather
isn't stormy and you can see for your
self.
While good snany retail men have
found fault with the trade, yet notice
that trade has been good enough to
enable most OF them TO sell their this
years stock and TO unload all their
old stock, too. All over the country
retail cloak men have been advertising
sweeping reductions on account of the
weather. Those cioaks that they have
been selling at such great reductions
are old goods left over from last year
or the year before. The cloaks were
all right and just as good as this year e
make. The styles haven't changed
any; but those retail cloak men have
taken advantage of the trade TO close
up their old stocks along with the new
goods"

A BIG EXPLOSION
At The Valley Falls Horse
Shoe Works.
ONE MANKILLED INSTANTLY
Boiler Thrown 200 feet and Ground
Shaken For Two Miles.

About 800 o'clock last evening the peo-
pie Of Valley Falls were terribly frightened
by a terrific explosion at the Rhode Island
Perkins Horse Shoe.
A large crowd fiocked In that direct lon,
where 1t was ascertalned that one boiler
had exploded and two others were thrown
from their beds.
One man named Nelson Gudson, who
was working in place OF Thomas Hines,
who was i'll, was killed.
John Roberts, another fireman, had one
finger broken.
Tiae force OF the explosion was 30 severe
that the earth was shaken from Valley
Fails bridge to Lonsdale, new village, a
territory OF aoout two square miles.
1t was fortunate that the explosion did
not occur half an hour earlier, or the loss
OF life would very likely be appalling, ss
the place would have been filed with the
workmen.
Judson lived In Central Falls. He was
about 10 years OF age and leaves wife and
several small children.
The boiler which exploded tore through
the middle OF the building and was found
partly submerged In the Blackstone river
about 200 feet away.
The damages are estimated at about
5000.

DIED IN PRISON.
A Bright YouLs Man End. His Days IN
jail.

A Bright YOuLg Man Ends His Days In
jail.
Word was received here yesterday from
tho State Prison that Edward Danforth
was dead. Crane q Burns were notified
and went to the prison 70 take the body
to Central Falls. Danforth was about 80
years OF age and was sent to the prison
nearly four years ago for high Say rob-
berry. In company with a man named
Mars he waylaid an old man connected
with the Home for the Aged in this city,
took what little money he had and
stripped him Of most OF his clothing.
Detective Haberlin took the matter in
hand and spent four days on the case be-
fore striKing a clew. Finally he ran
across what no presumed was the trail.
young man who lived near where the
crime was committeed and saw the men
said he used to meet one OF the men every
morning on Pine street when going to
work. The officer concluded that he had
worked In one of the manufactures on
Main street at the foot OF Pine and Gar
den.
He went to the Office OF the Bliss Manu-
factory and looked over the payroll OF the
year before and spotted the name CT man
he knew answered the description. "If he
was the man be will have cut on his
neck" mused the officer, for the old man
cut one Of the men.
Haberlin went to Central Falls, sent q
young man to Danforth's house to sec II
be was In, and he reported that he was
there with bis neck done up. The detective
got Officer Whipple OF the Central Falls
police and one went in each door.
Danforth was brought down in car
riage and tho old man sent for. He said
THAT Ia the man and not only has he got
. cut on bis neck, bnt there is another on
his leg" An examination proved this
statement true. Dsniorth confessed that
evening.
He and his pal each got eight years.
Danforth was fine looking young man
and was unusually bright, but his sssoci-
ations were bad from the time be was
boy. He leaves wife and mother who
reside on Cross street.
