End of the Career Of a Remark
able Man.
Special to the Globe.
DUNDAs, Feb. A telegram was re-
ceived this morning that Joseph Ford,
who has been an inmate at the Roch-
estor asylum for nearly two years, was
dead. Mr.. Ford was one of the Oldest
pioneers of Minnesota, having come to
the state in 1850, and had had brilliant
career. In 1856 he owned lands at Gray
Cloud on the Mississippi river. The fol-
lowing year he came to Rice county,
taking claim where the city of North
field now stands, having built the first
house there. which still stands. Three
miles south of DundaS he secured 800
acres of heavy timber, making total of
$40 acres of land. In 1857 he was ad-
mltted TO tue bar and practiced law at
Northfield, and was member of the
Democrat. He was a graduate from the
law school of New York. and also
learned the hatters' trade.
After he returned from the legisla-
ture, legal proceedings were instituted
by j. w. North, founder of Mortified.
to take. away his Mortified property.
/. a period of twenty years was spent in
this suit, he losing every case until he
carried it to Washington. There he
won the amount involved, being S25, OOO
lie served three years and six months
i'll the late war, when he received a sun
stroke, from which he was sent to the
asylum in 1871. LII 1924 he returned
from the asylum, receiving back pen
sion of $4,000, with s72 per month.
Through illegal tinkering he was al
lowed to do his own business and in less
than four years $50, 900 was squandered.
He was then returned to the asylum,
where he passed away from cancer of
the face. Mr.. Ford spoke and read
French, Latin, Greek and English, and
was fifteen years correspondent for
Horace Greely's paper and the Country
Gentleman. A library is left, costing

SILVER BRICK CASE.
Arguments on the Matter Pro and
Con

Con.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The supreme
court of the District of Columbia today
heard arguments of counsel in what is
known as the silver brick case. The
contention in this case is, in brief, that
the act of 1878 restored silver to free
coinage. The petitioners ask for writ
of mandamus to compel respondent to
instruct the proper officers TO receive
and coin silver bullion rendered 10 the
superintendent of the United States
mint March l last. The coinage was
refused on the ground that it would be
in violation of law. To the petition the
respondent demurred, and il is on this
the case is heard.
Judge Jere Wilson appeared for the
petitioners, and Assistant Attorney
General Maury for the United States
government. Mr.. Wilson asserted that
the act of 1873, which demonetiZed sill
yer, is unconstitutional if that part of
the act still remains. He insisted, how
ever, that it does not remain, but that
this feature was repealed by the act OF
1878. Assistant Attorney General Maury
read an abstract from decision of the
United States supreme court in which
it was stated that 1.-The court would not
interfere by mandamus with the eXecu-
tive officers of the government in the
exercise of their ordinary official duties,
even where those duties require an in
depreciation of the law, the court hay
ing no appellate power for that pur-
pose"
Judge Wilson argued that it is not In
the power OF congress to demonetize
silver. because silver and gold coins
alone were recognized in the common
law. The writ prayed for should be
granted, he said, because it is not with
in the discretion OF the secretary of the
treasury, nor has he any right to exer-
else his Judgment in regard to the coin
age of silver.

for attention from the general govern

of Minnesota, to which some of these
lands will finally come, should force

COLD-CAR MILEAGE, :
Railroad Managers Fail to Get
Together.

Together.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The managers of
the Chicago east-bound railroads have
been in session all day trying to reach
an agreement on the question of mile
age Oh refrigerator cars. Before the
meeting the opinion was expressed by
several of the interested parties that
there would be no difficulty in getting a
unanimous approval of the proposition
to reduce the mileage from l cent to 81
of cent per mile. This opinion was
based on the fact that all contracts on
the l cent basis, SO far as the American
roads were concerned, had expired. and
all seemed anxious to reduce the rate of
mileage paid on private cars.
The Chicago e Grand Trunk was will
ing to do this on shipments via the
Niagara frontier, but its competitors
were well aware that it could make no
reduction via the main line of the Grand
Trunk to Montreal and New England
points, because of the competition of
the Canadian Pacific, which is now the
one road bound by contract to the one
cent rate. 1twas supposed that feature
of the situation would be waived, in
order to bring about the desired change
by the direct routes to the seaboard,
but it was not.
Two roads took the position at the
outset that so long as the Wabash, in
connection with the Canadian Pacific.
and the Chicago q Grand Trunk, In
connection with the Grand Trunk Rail-
way of Canada, continued TO pay one cent
per mile, they would be compelled
to do the same. After good deal of
wranglng the whole matter was
dropped, and was not again taken I'D.
On the question of abOlishing switching
charges and carriage i'll Chicago. to meet
the action of the Chicago & Grand
Trunk, there was another profitless dis
cussion. 1t was decided, however. that
committee composed of the general
freight agents should meet with SINH
lar committee of the Western roads next
Thursday for a joint discussion of the
subject.

TOM IS THANKFUL.
His Pompousness Mildly Criticizes
the New Rules.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-After the
house this afternoon agreed to the new
code of rules, ex-Speaker Reed was
asked to talk upon the subject. He said:
"The withdrawal by the Louisiana lot
terry of its demand for new charter is
one of the triumphs of the Fifty.frst
congress. The house committee on

TALK FOE OPTIONS.
Aldrich, of Chicago, and A. j.
Sawyer Explain.

Sawyer Explain.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The opponents
of the anti-option bill had the floor to-
day in the hearing before the house
committee on agriculture, and Chicago
and Minneapolis men told why the
bill would not benefit the farmers and
would hurt the men who were engaged
In the business of supplying the demand
for grain. MIR. Aldrich, of the Chicago
board of trade, says the board was
heartily in favor of the bill so far as it
related to options. as designed in the first
section of the bill, relating to fictitious
sales. That kind of trading had always
been illegal and never recognized, and
the board had spent great deal of
money trying to procure the enforce
ment of the law of the state prohibiting
gambling contracts. If the best MEN,
bers OF the board could find way by
which such things as ''Pardridge has
the market and Is great short seller"
could he made things of the past, they
would be glad to do so.
Continuing. Mr.. Aldrich said, if the
bill under consideration were passed it
would be the most disastrous thing for
the farmers that could happen, and
would deprive them of their system of
L
cent and the producers IS per cent of
the population, and unless the consum-
erS were prosperous and got their grain
delivered without cost, the farmer could
not be prosperous. In Chicago 10000
bushels of grain were daily received
and formed the basis OH which business
on the board OF trade was done. If that
grain were diverted elsewhere the board
or trade would close of itself without
legislation.
A. j. Sawyer, of Minneapolis, ex-
planned the system of marketing grain.
de SAID he would make no attack on the
bill: but before the present method of
handling grain was destroyed, he would
ask the committee to devise some sub
stitute by which it could be better
handled. He would not do the business
unless he could protect himself by means
OF these options, or in some other way,
as there would be too much risk. The
250,000 bushels of wheat received in any
day which he could not sell to the trade
without breaking the price he threw OH
the market. The gamblers took care of
that. and they also paid the carrying
charges. How they protected them
selves was their lookout.
He did not think 1t true that the
farmers were forced to sell their W heat
and take what they could get for it.
The very largest farmers. and those
best able to hold their wheat were the
very persons who. as matter of busi-
ness, sold their wheat directly from the
thresher. Farmers generally had nei-
ther the facilities nor the knowledge
necessary to keep wheat safely,
